Note
1—Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CTM Media
Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Holdings”) have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three
months ended October 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2010. The balance sheet
at July 31, 2009 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial
statements at that date but does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For
further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended July 31, 2009, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”).
The
Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference
below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year
indicated (e.g., fiscal 2010 refers to the fiscal year ending July 31,
2010).
On August
1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard relating to noncontrolling
interests in consolidated financial statements (see Note 11).The Company’s
management evaluated events or transactions that occurred after October 31,
2009 through December 15, 2009 for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements.
Holdings
is a holding company consisting of the following principal
businesses:
|
CTM
Media Group (“CTM”), the Company’s brochure distribution company and other
advertising-based product initiatives focused on small to medium sized
businesses;
|
|
The
Company’s majority interest in Idea and Design Works, LLC (“IDW”), which
is a comic book and graphic novel publisher that creates and licenses
intellectual property; and
|
|
The
WMET-AM radio station in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area
(“WMET”).
|
Holdings
was formerly a subsidiary of IDT Corporation (“IDT Corporation” or “IDT”) formed
on May 8, 2009. On September 14, 2009, Holdings was spun-off by IDT to its
stockholders and became an independent public company (the “Spin-Off”). IDT
transferred its ownership in all of the entities that became Holdings’
consolidated subsidiaries to Holdings prior to the Spin-Off. The entities that
became direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Holdings are: CTM; Beltway
Acquisition Corporation; IDT Local Media, Inc. (which conducted certain
operations related to CTM with only the Local Pull business still active) and
IDT Internet Mobile Group, Inc. (“IIMG”). IIMG owns approximately 53% of the
equity interests in IDW (see Note 10 for subsequent purchase of additional
interest in IDW). All indebtedness owed by any of these entities to IDT
Corporation or its affiliates was converted into a capital
contribution. All references to the Company, its assets and results
of operations for periods prior to the actual formation of the Company, refer to
the subsidiaries of IDT that are now owned by the Company, and their
consolidated assets and results of operations.
Holdings’
authorized capital stock consists of (a) 35 million shares of Class A
common stock, (b) 65 million shares of Class B common stock, (c) 15 million
shares of Class C common stock, and (d) 10 million shares of Preferred
Stock. IDT Corporation completed the Spin-Off through a pro rata distribution of
Holdings common stock to IDT Corporation’s stockholders of record as of the
close of business on August 3, 2009 (the “record date”). As a result of the
Spin-Off, each of IDT Corporation’s stockholders received: (i) one share of
Holdings’ Class A common stock for every three shares of IDT Corporation’s
common stock held on the record date; (ii) one share of Holdings’ Class B common
stock for every three shares of IDT Corporation’s Class B common stock held on
the record date; (iii) one share of Holdings’ Class C common stock for every
three shares of the IDT Corporation’s Class A common stock held on the record
date; and (iv) cash from IDT Corporation in lieu of a fractional share of all
classes of Holdings’ common stock. On September 14, 2009, as a result of the
Spin-Off, Holding’s had 1.3 million shares of Class A common stock, 5.1 million
shares of Class B common stock and 1.1 million shares of Class C common stock
issued and outstanding.
Prior to
the Spin-Off, IDT Corporation provided certain services to the entities that
became Holdings’ consolidated subsidiaries. Holdings and IDT Corporation entered
into a Master Services Agreement, dated September 14, 2009, pursuant to which
IDT Corporation will continue to provide to Holdings, among other things,
certain administrative and other services. In addition, pursuant to the Master
Services Agreement, IDT Corporation will provide certain additional services to
Holdings, on an interim basis. Such services include assistance with periodic
reports required to be filed with the SEC, as well as maintaining minutes, books
and records of meetings of the Board of Directors, Audit Committee and
Compensation Committee, as well as assistance with corporate
governance.
The cost of these additional services are not included in Holdings’ historical
results of operations for the period prior to the Spin-Off, as they were not
applicable for periods that Holdings was not a separate public
company.
Note
2—Earnings Per Share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to all
classes of common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of all
classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share,
except that the number of shares is increased to include non-vested restricted
stock using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increase is
anti-dilutive. For the three months ended October 31, 2008, the diluted earnings
per share equal basic earnings per share because the Company had losses from
operations and the impact of the 831 thousand shares of non-vested restricted
stock would have been anti-dilutive.
The
earnings per share for the periods prior to the Spin-Off were calculated as if
the number of shares outstanding at the Spin-Off were outstanding during those
periods.

On August
1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard relating to noncontrolling
interests in consolidated financial statements (see Note 11).
As part
of the Spin-Off, holders of restricted stock of IDT Corporation received, in
respect of those restricted shares, one share of the Company’s Class A common
stock for every three restricted shares of common stock of IDT Corporation that
they owned as of the record date of the Spin-Off and one share of the Company’s
Class B common stock for every three restricted shares of Class B common stock
of IDT Corporation that they owned as of the record date of the Spin-Off. Those
particular shares of the Company’s stock are restricted under the same terms as
the corresponding IDT Corporation restricted shares in respect of which they
were issued. Upon completion of the Spin-Off on September 14, 2009, there were
0.3 million shares of Class A unvested restricted stock and 0.5 million shares
of Class B unvested restricted stock.
On
October 14, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors granted its Chairman and
founder, Howard S. Jonas, 1.8 million restricted shares of the Company’s Class B
common stock with a value of $1.25 million on the date of grant in lieu of a
cash base salary for the next five years. The restricted shares will vest in
equal thirds on each of October 14, 2011, October 14, 2012 and October 14, 2013.
This arrangement does not impact Mr. Jonas’ cash compensation from the date of
the Spin-Off through the pay period including the grant date. Total unrecognized
compensation cost on the grant date was $1.25 million. The unrecognized
compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the vesting period from
October 14, 2009 through October 14, 2014.
On
September 3, 2009, the Company’s Compensation Committee ratified the Company’s
2009 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Company’s Stock Option and Incentive
Plan”), which was previously adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and
approved by IDT Corporation as its sole stockholder, to provide incentives to
executive officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company and/or
its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Class B common
stock reserved for the grant of awards under the Company’s Stock Option and
Incentive Plan shall be 383,020, subject to adjustment. Incentives available
under the Company’s Stock Option and Incentive Plan may include stock options,
stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
and deferred stock units.
Under the
Company’s Stock Option and Incentive Plan, the option price of each option award
shall not be less than one hundred percent of the fair market value of the
Company’s Class B common stock on the date of grant. Each option agreement shall
provide the exercise schedule for the option as determined by the Compensation
Committee. The exercise period will be ten years from the date of the grant of
the option unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. No awards
have been granted under the Company’s Stock Option and Incentive Plan to
date.
Note

5—Business Segment Information
The
Company has the following two reportable business segments: CTM and IDW. CTM
consists of our brochure distribution company and other advertising-based new
product initiatives focused on small to medium sized businesses. IDW is a comic
book and graphic novel publisher that creates and licenses original intellectual
property. The results of operations of WMET do not comprise a separate segment
and are reported under the heading “Other.” WMET-AM operates a radio station in
the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
The
Company’s reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers
and methods used to provide their services. The operating results of these
business segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating
decision maker.
The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies of
the Company as a whole. The Company evaluates the performance of its business
segments based primarily on operating income (loss). There are no other
significant asymmetrical allocations to segments.

of business and have not been finally adjudicated. Although there can be no
assurance in this regard, in the opinion of the Company’s management, none of
the legal proceedings to which the Company is a party will have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or its
financial condition.

the Spin-Off on September 14, 2009, IDT Corporation, the Company’s former parent
company, charged the Company for certain transactions and allocated routine
expenses based on company specific items. In addition, IDT Corporation
controlled the flow of the Company’s treasury transactions. In
September 2009, IDT Corporation funded the Company with an additional $2.0
million in
cash in
advance of the Spin-Off. Also on September 14, 2009, the aggregate of
approximately $27.3 million of the amount due to IDT Corporation was converted
into a capital contribution.
Note
8 – Severance Charges
The
charges in the three months ended October 31, 2008 consists primarily of
severance related to a company-wide cost savings program initiated towards the
end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
Note
9 – Tender Offer
On
November 17, 2009, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase up to thirty
percent of its outstanding common stock and on December 3, 2009, revised the
number of shares it is offering to purchase pursuant to, and extended the
expiration date of, the tender offer. The Company is offering to purchase up to
0.4 million shares of its Class A common stock, or any lesser number of Class A
shares that stockholders properly tender in the tender offer, and up to 2.4
million shares of its Class B common stock, or any lesser number of Class B
shares that stockholders properly tender in the tender offer, representing up to
thirty percent of its total outstanding capital stock, at a price per share of
$1.10, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of $3.1 million. The tender offer
is made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated
November 17, 2009, and the related Letter of Transmittal, each as amended and
supplemented, which have been filed with the SEC and are being made available to
Holdings stockholders. The offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on Thursday, December 17, 2009, unless extended by the Company. In accordance
with the rules of the SEC, the Company may purchase up to an additional two
percent of the outstanding shares of either or both classes without amending or
extending the tender offer.
Note 10 – Purchase of Noncontrolling
Interests in IDW
On
November 5, 2009, the Company purchased a 23.335% noncontrolling interest in IDW
that it did not own for a purchase price of $0.4 million. After the transaction
the Company owns a 76.665% interest in IDW. The acquisition will be
accounted for in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, as an equity transaction, in
accordance with the accounting standards on noncontrolling
interests. The Company acquired the additional noncontrolling
interests as it determined that it was an attractive price as well as to reduce
the number of noncontrolling interest shareholders in this
business.
Note 11— Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In
September 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) to the authoritative hierarchy of U.S. GAAP. These
changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the
"Codification") as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for all
non-governmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP
for SEC registrants. The Codification did not change or alter existing U.S.
GAAP. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
On
August 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard relating to
noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This standard
clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which was previously
referred to as a minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated
entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial
statements. Also, this standard requires consolidated net income (loss) to
include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling
interest, and it requires disclosure of the amounts of net income (loss)
attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. Finally, this
standard requires increases and decreases in the noncontrolling ownership
interest amount to be accounted for as equity transactions, and the gain or loss
on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary will be measured using the fair value of
any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of the
retained investment. As required by this standard, the Company retrospectively
changed the classification and presentation of noncontrolling interests in its
financial statements for all prior periods. The adoption of this standard did
not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In April
2009, the FASB issued a standard that amends the requirements for disclosures
about fair value of financial instruments, which were previously only required
in the annual financial statements of publicly traded companies. The standard
requires such disclosures for interim reporting periods of publicly traded
companies as well. The standard also requires entities to disclose the methods
and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial instruments
in interim financial statements, and to highlight any changes in the methods and
assumptions from prior periods. This standard was effective for the Company’s
financial statements beginning on May 1, 2009. The adoption of this
standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for transfers of financial
assets. These changes include (a) eliminating the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity (“QSPE”), (b) clarifying and amending the
de-recognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale,
(c) amending and clarifying the unit of account eligible for sale
accounting, and (d) requiring that a transferor
initially
measure at fair value and recognize all assets obtained and liabilities incurred
as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial
assets accounted for as a sale. Additionally, on and after the effective date,
existing QSPEs must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in
accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. These changes also
require enhanced disclosures about, among other things, (a) a transferor’s
continuing involvement with transfers of financial assets accounted for as
sales, (b) the risks inherent in the transferred financial assets that have
been retained, and (c) the nature and financial effect of restrictions on
the transferor’s assets that continue to be reported in the statement of
financial position. The Company is required to adopt these changes on
August 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these
changes on its consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued changes to the consolidation guidance applicable to a
variable interest entity (“VIE”) including amending the guidance governing the
determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and
is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative
analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will
include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the
activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive
benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The
changes also require continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the
primary beneficiary of a VIE and enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s
involvement with a VIE. The Company is required to adopt these changes on
August 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these
changes on its consolidated financial statements
Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The
following information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements and the associated notes thereto of
this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and the
notes thereto and our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, as filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
In
accordance with Item 10-(f)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K, we qualify as a “smaller
reporting company” because our public float was below $75 million, calculated
based on the actual share price on the September 14, 2009 Spin-Off date and the
aggregate number of shares distributed to non-affiliates. We therefore followed
the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K applicable to smaller reporting
companies in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As used
below, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “the Company,”
“Holdings,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to CTM Media Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and our subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements that contain the
words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” and similar
words and phrases. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
results projected in any forward-looking statement. In addition to the factors
specifically noted in the forward-looking statements, other important factors,
risks and uncertainties that could result in those differences include, but are
not limited to, those discussed under Item 1A to Part I “Risk Factors” in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009. The
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report and we assume
no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons
why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. Investors should consult all of the information set forth in this
report and the other information set forth from time to time in our reports

Exchange Act of 1934, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 2009.
OVERVIEW
We are a
former subsidiary of IDT Corporation (“IDT”). As a result of the Spin-Off, on
September 14, 2009, we became an independent public company. While many of the
costs of being a public company were already borne by our business units –
either directly or by allocation of corporate overhead from IDT – we now need to
incur additional costs for the infrastructure to perform the necessary
accounting, internal control and reporting functions. We expect to incur annual
incremental costs of $300,000-$500,000 for these functions. A significant
portion of these functions will be provided by IDT pursuant to the Master
Services Agreement, dated September 14, 2009, between us and IDT.
On
November 17, 2009, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase up to thirty
percent of its outstanding common stock and on December 3, 2009, revised the
number of shares it is offering to purchase pursuant to, and extended the
expiration date of, the tender offer. The Company is offering to purchase up to
0.4 million shares of its Class A common stock, or any lesser number of Class A
shares that stockholders properly tender in the tender offer, and up to 2.4
million shares of its Class B common stock, or any lesser number of Class B
shares that stockholders properly tender in the tender offer, representing up to
thirty percent of its total outstanding capital stock, at a price per share of
$1.10, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of $3.1 million. The tender offer
is made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated
November 17, 2009, and the related Letter of Transmittal, each as amended and
supplemented, which have been filed with the SEC and are being made available to
Holdings stockholders. The offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on Thursday, December 17, 2009, unless extended by the Company. In accordance
with the rules of the SEC, the Company may purchase up to an additional two
percent of the outstanding shares of either or both classes without amending or
extending the tender offer.
Our
principal businesses consist of:
|
CTM
Media Group (“CTM”), our brochure distribution company and other
advertising-based new product initiatives focused on small to medium sized
businesses;
|
|
Our
majority interest in Idea and Design Works, LLC (“IDW”), which is a comic
book and graphic novel publisher that creates and licenses intellectual
property; and
|
|
The
WMET-AM radio station in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area
(“WMET”).
|
CTM
CTM
develops and distributes print and mobile-based advertising and information in
targeted tourist markets. CTM operates five integrated and complimentary
business lines: Brochure Distribution, Design & Print, Publishing,
RightCardTM, and
Digital Distribution. CTM offers its customers a comprehensive media marketing
approach through these business lines. In fiscal 2009, CTM serviced over 3,000
clients and maintained more than 11,000 display stations in over 30 states and
provinces in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada. CTM’s display
stations are located in travel, tourism and entertainment venues, including
hotels and other lodgings, corporate and community venues, transportation
terminals and hubs, tourist attractions and entertainment venues. CTM’s revenues
represented 58.3% of our consolidated revenues in the three months ended October
31, 2009 and 63.9% in the similar period in fiscal 2009.
IDW
IDW is a
comic book and graphic novel publisher that creates and licenses intellectual
property. IDW’s revenues represented 39.3% of our consolidated revenues in the
three months ended October 31, 2009 and 32.6% in the similar period in fiscal
2009.
On
November 5, 2009 we purchased a 23.335% noncontrolling interest in IDW that we
did now own for a purchase price of $0.4 million. After this transaction we own
a 76.665% interest in IDW.
WMET
WMET 1160
AM is a radio station serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. WMET’s
revenues represented 2.4% of our consolidated revenues in the three months ended
October 31, 2009 and 3.5% in the similar period in fiscal 2009.
REPORTABLE
SEGMENTS
We have
the following two reportable business segments: CTM and IDW. The results of
operations of WMET do not comprise a separate reportable segment and are
reported under the heading “Other.”
PRESENTATION
OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Basis
of presentation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods reflect our
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as if the current
structure existed for all periods presented. The financial statements have been
prepared using the historical basis for the assets and liabilities and results
of operations.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“U.S. GAAP”). Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to
the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for fiscal 2009. The preparation of financial statements requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are those that require
application of management’s most subjective or complex judgments, often as a
result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent
periods. Our critical accounting policies include those related to the allowance
for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives and valuation of long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite
useful lives. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical
experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. For additional discussion of our critical accounting
policies, see our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal
2009.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
We
evaluate the performance of our operating business segments based primarily on
income (loss) from operations. Accordingly, the income and expense line items
below income (loss) from operations are only included in our discussion of the
consolidated results of operations.

Revenues. The decrease in
consolidated revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2009 compared to the
similar period in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to the decrease in CTM revenues,
partially offset by an increase in IDW revenues. The decrease in CTM revenues
was primarily due to the global economic slowdown and a decrease in advertising
and customer spending and in some cases certain of our customers going out of
business. Offsetting this decrease in CTM’s distribution revenues was an
increase in printing revenues during the three months ended October 31, 2009.
The increase in IDW revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2009 compared
to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was as a result of an increase in titles
sold.

Direct Cost of Revenues. The
increase in direct cost of revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2009
compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 reflects the increases in IDW’s
direct cost of revenues offset by CTM’s decrease in cost of revenues. The
increase in IDW’s direct cost of revenues in the three months ended October 31,
2009 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was a result of the increase
in revenues. The decrease in CTM’s direct cost of revenues was primarily the
result of lower revenues. Overall gross margin decreased from 60.4% in the three
months ended October 31, 2008 to 55.6% in the three months ended October 31,
2009 was due to a decrease in CTM’s gross margin. Since a significant portion of
CTM cost of sales is fixed, the gross margin percentage decreases when revenues
decrease. Additionally, there was a decrease in higher margin distribution
revenues and an increase in lower margin printing revenues. We maintain the
printing business as a method to solidify our relationship with our customers by
providing this requested service.
Selling, General and Administrative.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the three
months ended October 31, 2009 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was
primarily due to a decrease in the selling, general and administrative expenses
of CTM. CTM’s selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the
three months ended October 31, 2009 compared to the similar period in fiscal
2009 due to the exit from certain unprofitable lines of businesses, overall cost
reductions including headcount and insurance premiums, and
lower commissions as a result of a decrease in revenue. The exited businesses
consist of Traffic Pull and Local Pull, our Internet search position enhancement
ventures, and Click2Talk, our Web-based communications product. The exit from
these lines of business was a process that commenced in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008 and is completed. The Local Pull product is still being offered by
CTM, however the business model has been reworked and Local Pull is being
marketed through outsourced channels, which is more cost effective for us. Total
selling, general and administrative expenses for these exited businesses was
$0.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2008. As a percentage of
total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from
50.1% in the three month ended October 31, 2008 to 40.8% in the three months
ended October 31, 2009 as selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
while revenues increased.
On
October 14, 2009, our Board of Directors granted our Chairman and founder,
Howard S. Jonas, 1.8 million restricted shares of our Class B common stock with
a value of $1.25 million on the date of grant in lieu of a cash base salary for
the next five years. The restricted shares will vest in equal thirds on each of
October 14, 2011, October 14, 2012 and October 14, 2013. Unvested shares would
be forfeited if we terminate Mr. Jonas’ employment other than under
circumstances where the accelerated vesting applies. The shares are subject to
adjustments or acceleration based on certain corporate transactions, changes in
capitalization, or termination, death or disability of Mr. Jonas. If Mr.
Jonas is terminated by us for cause, a pro rata portion of the shares would
vest. This arrangement does not impact Mr. Jonas’ cash compensation from the
date of the Spin-Off through the pay period including the grant date. Total
unrecognized compensation cost on the grant date was $1.25 million. The
unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the vesting
period from October 14, 2009 through October 14, 2014. The related
stock-based compensation related to this grant in the first quarter of fiscal
2010 was nil.
Bad Debt Expense. The
decrease in bad debt expense in the three months ended October 31, 2009 was due
primarily to a decrease in bad debt expense of WMET.
Severance Charges. The
charges in the three months ended October 31, 2008 consist primarily of
severance related to a company-wide cost savings program initiated towards the
end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2006.

Income Taxes. Provision
for income taxes in the three months ended October 31, 2009 compared to the
similar period in fiscal 2009 remained substantially unchanged.
We and
IDT entered into a Tax Separation Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2009, to
provide for certain tax matters including the assignment of responsibility for
the preparation and filing of tax returns, the payment of and indemnification
for taxes, entitlement to tax refunds and the prosecution and defense of any tax
controversies. Pursuant to this agreement, IDT must indemnify us from all
liability for taxes of ours and our subsidiaries for periods ending on or before
September 14, 2009, and we must indemnify IDT from all liability for taxes of
ours and our subsidiaries accruing after September 14, 2009. Also, for periods
ending on or before September 14, 2009, IDT shall have the right to control the
conduct of any audit, examination or other proceeding brought by a taxing
authority. We shall have the right to participate jointly in any proceeding that
may affect our tax liability unless IDT has indemnified us. Finally, we and our
subsidiaries agreed not to carry back any net operating losses, capital losses
or credits for any taxable period ending after September 14, 2009 to a taxable
period ending on or before September 14, 2009 unless required by applicable law,
in which case any refund of taxes attributable to such carry back shall be for
the account of IDT.
Income (loss) attributable to
noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests arise from the 47%
interest held by the minority owners of IDW.
On
November 5, 2009 we purchased a 23.335% noncontrolling interest in IDW that we
did now own for a purchase price of $0.4 million. After this transaction we own
a 76.665% interest in IDW.

Revenues. The decrease in
CTM’s revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2009 compared to the
similar period in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in distribution
revenues attributable to the global economic slowdown and a decrease in
advertising and customer spending and in some cases certain customers going out
of business. The most significant declines have been in our New York market, due
to the weakness in Broadway show advertising, followed by Connecticut and
Florida. We are beginning to see positive signs of a gradual recovery in our
business such that we expect revenues beginning in the third quarter of fiscal
2010 to be slightly higher than our corresponding fiscal 2009 quarterly
revenues.
Direct Cost of Revenues.
Direct cost of revenues consists primarily of distribution and
fulfillment payroll, warehouse and vehicle distribution expenses, and print and
design expenses. The decrease in direct cost of revenues in the three months
ended October 31, 2009 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 is
primarily due to decreased revenues.
CTM’s
gross margin decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2009 to 65.4%
compared to 68.0% in the similar period in fiscal 2009. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in relatively higher margin distribution revenues
and an increase in relatively lower margin printing revenues. However, we
maintain the printing business as a method to solidify our relationship with our
customers by providing this requested service.
Selling, General and Administrative.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll
and related benefits, facilities costs and insurance. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2009 as
compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 primarily due to the exit from
certain unprofitable lines of businesses, consisting of Traffic Pull, Local Pull
and Click2Talk. The exit from these lines of business was a process that
commenced in the fourth quarter of
fiscal
2008 and is completed. The Local Pull product is still being offered by CTM,
however the business model has been reworked and Local Pull is being marketed
through outsourced channels, which is more cost effective for us. Total selling,
general and administrative expenses for these exited businesses was $0.6 million
for the three months ended October 31, 2008. As a percentage of CTM’s aggregate
revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the three
month ended October 31, 2009 to 45.9% from 59.1% in the similar period in fiscal
2009, as selling, general and administrative expenses decreased at a faster rate
than revenues.
Severance charges. The
charges in the three months ended October 31, 2008 consists primarily of
severance related to an IDT company-wide cost savings program initiated towards
the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Revenues. The increase in
IDW’s revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2009 as compared to the
similar period in fiscal 2009 was due to new editorial hires in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2009 and first quarter of fiscal 2010, which have resulted in
more products and an increase in the number of titles released
. Also, revenues increased due to fourth quarter comic book movie
releases, such as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Star Trek (2009),
Terminator Salvation, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, that continued to have an
impact on first quarter revenues, and the release in the first quarter of fiscal
2010 of Bloom County, one of the most popular and critically acclaimed newspaper
strips. We do not expect IDW’s fiscal 2010 revenues to be as high as those
earned in fiscal 2009.
In an
effort to increase availability of versions of its content at retail outlets,
IDW has entered into a number of digital distribution agreements this year, and
IDW’s publications are currently available for purchase via mobile phones,
primarily iPhones/iPod Touch. IDW titles are also available direct-to-desktop
via several websites and are expected to be available on Sony’s PSP and PSP Go
by the end of calendar 2009.
Direct Cost of Revenues.
Direct cost of revenues consists primarily of printing expenses and costs
of artists and writers. The increase in direct cost of revenues in the three
months ended October 31, 2009 as compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009
reflects the increase in revenues.
IDW’s
aggregate gross margin decreased in the three months ended October 31, 2009 to
38.2% from 41.2% in the similar period in fiscal 2009. The decrease in the three
months ended October 31, 2009 was primarily due to the mix of
products.
Selling, General and Administrative.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the three month
ended October 31, 2009 as compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009
primarily due to higher commissions due to increased revenues and the increase
in the number of employees and consultants. In addition, IDW added a Chief
Operating Officer, and implemented a more structured bonus plan as compared to
the similar period in fiscal 2009, all of which resulted in an increase in
selling, general and administrative expense. As a percentage of IDW’s aggregate
revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the three
months ended October 31, 2009 to 28.0% from 27.1% in the similar period in
fiscal 2009, as revenues increased at a slower rate than selling, general and
administrative expenses.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically,
we satisfied our cash requirements primarily through cash provided by CTM’s
operating activities and funding from IDT.

Operating
Activities
Our cash
flow from operations varies from quarter to quarter and from year to year,
depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and
payments, specifically trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we commenced to exit from
certain unprofitable lines of businesses of CTM, consisting of Traffic Pull,
Local Pull and Click2Talk. The exit from these lines of business is completed.
The Local Pull product is still being offered by CTM, however the business model
has been reworked and Local Pull is being marketed through outsourced channels,
which is more cost effective for us. Cash used in operating activities from
these exited businesses was approximately $0.6 million for the three months
ended October 31, 2008.
Investing
Activities
Our
capital expenditures were $0.1 million in the three months ended October 31,
2009 and $0.2 million in the similar period in fiscal 2009. We currently
anticipate that total capital expenditures for all of our divisions in fiscal
2010 will be approximately $0.3 million. We expect to fund our capital
expenditures with our cash, cash equivalents and short term investments on hand
and the $2.0 million of cash that we received from IDT in September
2009.
Financing
Activities.
During
all periods presented though the September 14, 2009 Spin-Off, IDT provided us
with the required liquidity to fund our working capital requirements and
investments for some of our businesses. We used any excess cash provided by our
operations to repay IDT. In the three months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008,
IDT provided cash to us of $2.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. In
September 2009, the amount due to IDT of $27.3 million was converted into a
capital contribution.
We
distributed cash of $0.4 million in the three months ended October 31, 2009 and
$0.3 million in the similar period in fiscal 2009 to the minority shareholders
of IDW.
We repaid
capital lease obligations of $0.1 million in the three months ended October 31,
2009 and nil in the similar period in fiscal 2009.
CHANGES
IN TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Gross
trade accounts receivable decreased to $3.3 million at October 31, 2009 compared
to $4.6 million at July 31, 2009, primarily due to higher collections in
IDW. The allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of gross trade accounts
receivable increased to 20.2% at October 31, 2009 compared to 14.7% at
July 31, 2009, primarily due to changes in WMET’s allowance as result of
new management re-evaluating the adequacy of WMET’s allowance.
Other
Sources and Uses of Resources
We intend
to, where appropriate, make strategic investments and acquisitions to
complement, expand, and/or enter into new businesses. In considering
acquisitions and investments, we search for opportunities to profitably grow our
existing businesses, to add qualitatively to the range of businesses in our
portfolio and to achieve operational synergies. Historically, such acquisitions
have not exceeded $0.5 million, with the average acquisition being less than
$0.1 million. If we were to pursue an acquisition in excess of $0.5 million we
would likely need to secure financing arrangements. At this time, we cannot
guarantee that we will be presented with acquisition opportunities that meet our
return on investment criteria, or that our efforts to make acquisitions that
meet our criteria will be successful.
We are
currently evaluating strategic alternatives with respect to certain of our
business units, particularly WMET, in an attempt to (i) rid ourselves of the
negative impact of money losing operations, or (ii) take advantage of attractive
opportunities to monetize business units.
Historically,
we satisfied our cash requirements primarily through cash provided by CTM’s
operating activities and funding from IDT. The conversion of our balance due to
IDT into a capital contribution in September 2009 significantly improved our
working capital balance. We do not currently have any material debt obligations.
With the exit of certain lines of businesses within CTM, we expect that our
operations in fiscal 2010 and the balance of cash, cash equivalents and short
term investment that we held as of October 31, 2009, will be sufficient to meet
our currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements,
capital lease obligations, make limited acquisitions and investments, and fund
any potential operating cash flow deficits within any of our segments for at
least the next twelve months. In addition, we anticipate that our expected cash
balances, as well as cash flows from our operations, will be sufficient to meet
our long-term liquidity needs. The foregoing is based on a number of
assumptions, including that we will collect on our receivables, effectively
manage our working capital requirements, and maintain our revenue levels and
liquidity. Predicting these matters is particularly difficult in the current
worldwide economic situation and overall decline in consumer demand. Failure to
generate sufficient revenues and operating income could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.
FOREIGN
CURRENCY RISK
Revenues
from our international operations represented 8.6% and 9.2% of our consolidated
revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A
significant portion of these revenues is in currencies other than the U.S.
Dollar, primarily Canadian dollars and recently in Euros, although our revenues
in Euros are not significant at this time. Our foreign currency exchange risk is
somewhat mitigated by our ability to offset the majority of these
non-U.S. Dollar-denominated revenues with operating expenses that are paid
in the same currencies. While the impact from fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates affects our revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, the
net amount of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes at the end
of each reporting period is generally not material.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not
have any “off-balance sheet arrangements,” as defined in relevant SEC
regulations that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our
financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or
capital resources.
RECENTLY
ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In
September 2009, we adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) to the authoritative hierarchy of U.S. GAAP. These changes
establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the "Codification") as
the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for all non-governmental entities. Rules
and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws
are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The
Codification did not change or alter existing U.S. GAAP. The adoption of these
changes had no impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
On
August 1, 2009, we adopted the accounting standard relating to
noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This standard
clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which was previously
referred to as a minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated
entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial
statements. Also, this standard requires consolidated net income (loss) to
include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling
interest, and it requires disclosure of the amounts of net income (loss)
attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. Finally, this
standard requires increases and decreases in the noncontrolling ownership
interest amount to be accounted for as equity transactions, and the gain or loss
on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary will be measured using the fair value of
any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of the
retained investment. As required by this standard, we retrospectively changed
the classification and presentation of noncontrolling interests in our financial
statements for all prior periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In April
2009, the FASB issued a standard that amends the requirements for disclosures
about fair value of financial instruments, which were previously only required
in the annual financial statements of publicly traded companies. The standard
requires such disclosures for interim reporting periods of publicly traded
companies as well. The standard also requires entities to disclose the methods
and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial instruments
in interim financial statements, and to highlight any changes in the methods and
assumptions from prior periods. This standard was effective for our financial
statements beginning on May 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard had no
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for transfers of financial
assets. These changes include (a) eliminating the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity (“QSPE”), (b) clarifying and amending the
de-recognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale,
(c) amending and clarifying the unit of account eligible for sale
accounting, and (d) requiring that a transferor initially measure at fair
value and recognize all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of
a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted
for as a sale. Additionally, on and after the effective date, existing QSPEs
must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with the
applicable consolidation guidance. These changes also require enhanced
disclosures about, among other things, (a) a transferor’s continuing
involvement with transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales,
(b) the risks inherent in the transferred financial assets that have been
retained, and (c) the nature and financial effect of restrictions on the
transferor’s assets that continue to be reported in the statement of financial
position. We are required to adopt these changes on August 1,
2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of these changes on our
consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued changes to the consolidation guidance applicable to a
variable interest entity (“VIE”) including amending the guidance governing the
determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and
is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative
analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will
include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the
activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive
benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The
changes also require continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the
primary beneficiary of a VIE and enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s
involvement with a VIE. We are required to adopt these changes on August 1,
2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of these changes on our
consolidated financial statements.
