Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On March 8, 2013, Advanced Inflight Alliance AG (“AIA”), the Registrant’s majority-owned foreign subsidiary, issued a press release announcing unaudited preliminary consolidated financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (which results are subject to change upon finalization by AIA and an audit thereof). Such results were presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, in Euros, and a reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States was not provided. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

 

The announced results are with respect to a period prior to the consummation of the Registrant’s business combination (the “Business Combination”) which occurred on January 31, 2013, in which the Registrant acquired Row 44, Inc. and 86% of the shares of AIA.  For all periods from and after the consummation of the Business Combination, the Registrant will be consolidating AIA’s financial results to the extent of its ownership interest in AIA.

 

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
