NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CTM Media Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) 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 and nine months ended April 30, 2010 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 consists 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; and
|
|
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.
|
The Company was formerly a subsidiary of IDT Corporation (“IDT Corporation” or “IDT”) formed on May 8, 2009. On September 14, 2009, the Company 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 the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Spin-Off. The entities that became direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company 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 77% of the equity interests in IDW (see Note 10 for the 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, or were, owned by the Company, and their consolidated assets and results of operations.
The Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s Class A common stock for every three shares of IDT Corporation’s common stock held on the record date; (ii) one share of the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s common stock. On September 14, 2009, as a result of the Spin-Off, the Company 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.
Note 2—Discontinued Operations
Sale of assets of WMET Radio
On May 5, 2010, the Company consummated the sale of substantially all of the assets used in the WMET radio station business (other than working capital) for a sale price of $4 million in a combination of cash and a promissory note of the buyer that is secured by the assets sold. $1.3 million of the purchase price was paid in cash at the closing and the remainder will be paid pursuant to a two-year promissory note, which is extendable in part to three years at the option of the buyer. The sale met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and accordingly, WMET’s results are classified as part of discontinued operations.

Note 3—Stock Repurchase and Cash Dividend
On November 17, 2009, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase up to thirty percent of its outstanding common stock. The Company offered 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 tendered 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 tendered in the tender offer, at a price per share of $1.10, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of $3.1 million. The offer expired on December 22, 2009. As a result, the Company repurchased 0.2 million shares of Class A common stock and 0.8 million shares of Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 million, representing approximately 14% of its total outstanding capital stock at the time.
On Feb 23, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the payment of a cash dividend in the amount of $0.25 per share (approximately $2.1 million in the aggregate) which was paid on March 15, 2010 to stockholders of record as of March 8, 2010 of the Company’s Class A, Class B and Class C common stock.
On March 16, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors, in light of the Company’s significant cash position, the positive impact of the declaration and payment of the $0.25 per share dividend and the lack of near-term needs or opportunities for deployment of its cash, determined to declare the payment of a cash dividend for the Company’s fourth quarter in the amount of $0.06 per share (approximately $0.5 million in the aggregate). The dividend, subject to confirmation by the Company’s management that there is sufficient surplus as of the proposed payment date, will be paid on or about June 15, 2010 to stockholders of record as of May 3, 2010 of the Company’s Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock.
Note 4—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 and nine months ended April 30, 2009 and 2010, the diluted earnings per share equal basic earnings per share because the Company had losses from continuing operations and the impact of including non-vested restricted stock would have been anti-dilutive. Approximately 2.5 million and 0.8 million shares of non-vested restricted stock of at April 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computations because their inclusion 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. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010, the Company’s Stock-based compensation included in selling, general and administrative expenses was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. 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 is 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 8—Related Party Transaction
Prior to the Spin-Off, IDT Corporation, the Company’s former parent company, charged the Company for certain transactions and allocated routine expenses based on company specific items to the entities that became the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. The Company and IDT Corporation entered into a Master Services Agreement, dated September 14, 2009, pursuant to which IDT Corporation will continue to provide to the Company, among other things, certain administrative and other services. In addition, pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, IDT Corporation will provide certain additional services to the Company, 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 the Company’s historical results of operations for the period prior to the Spin-Off, as they were not applicable for periods that the Company was not a separate public company. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010, the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for all services and allocated expenses charged by IDT Corporation to the Company. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009, the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for all services and allocated expenses charged by IDT Corporation to the Company.
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. At April 30, 2010, other current liabilities included $0.1 million due to IDT Corporation.
IDT Corporation and the Company 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 Corporation must indemnify the Company from all liability for taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries for periods ending on or before September 14, 2009, and the Company must indemnify IDT Corporation from all liability for taxes of the Company and its subsidiaries accruing after September 14, 2009. Also, for periods ending on or before September 14, 2009, IDT Corporation has the right to control the conduct of any audit, examination or other proceeding brought by a taxing authority. The Company has the right to participate jointly in any proceeding that may affect its tax liability unless IDT Corporation has indemnified the Company. Finally, the Company and its 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 Corporation.
Note 9 – Impairment and Severance Charges
In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the following events and circumstances indicated that the fair value of certain of the Company’s reporting units may be below their carrying value: (1) a significant adverse change in the business climate, (2) operating losses of reporting units, and (3) significant revisions to internal forecasts. The Company measured the fair value of its reporting units by discounting their estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The carrying value including goodwill of CTM and IDW exceeded their estimated fair values; therefore, additional steps were performed for these reporting units to determine whether an impairment of goodwill was required. As a result of this analysis, in the nine months ended April 30, 2009, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $29.7 million in CTM and $1.8 million in IDW, which reduced the carrying amount of the goodwill in each of these reporting units to zero.
In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, consisting primarily of severance related to a company-wide cost savings program and reduction in force.
Note 10 – Acquisitions
Purchase of Noncontrolling Interests in IDW
On November 5, 2009, the Company purchased an additional 23.335% interest in IDW for a purchase price of $0.4 million in cash. As a result of the transaction, the Company owns a 76.665% interest in IDW. The acquisition was accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with the accounting standards on noncontrolling interests. The Company acquired the additional interests as it determined that the purchase price was reasonable as well as to reduce the number of noncontrolling interest holders 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.
10
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 January 2010, the FASB amended the accounting standard relating to noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements (1) to address implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions of the standard and (2) to expand the disclosures about the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets within the scope of the standard. These amendments were effective for the Company when they were issued by the FASB. The adoption of the amendments to this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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.
In January 2010, the FASB amended the accounting standard relating to fair value measurements primarily to improve the disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. The main provisions of the amendment require new disclosures about (a) transfers in and out of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy and (b) activity within Level 3 of the hierarchy. In addition, the amendment clarifies existing disclosures about (1) the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements, (2) valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value, and (3) postretirement benefit plan assets. The Company was required to adopt these changes to its disclosures about fair value measurements on February 1, 2010, except for certain of the disclosures about the activity within Level 3, which are required to be adopted on August 1, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of these changes to its disclosures about fair value measurements to have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 on Form 10-Q, 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,” “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 meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E 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 filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities 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 the annual incremental costs for these functions to be between $600,000 and $700,000. 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. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for all services and allocated expenses charged by IDT to us. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for all services and allocated expenses charged by IDT Corporation to us. At April 30, 2010, other current liabilities included $0.1 million due to IDT Corporation.
On November 17, 2009, we commenced a tender offer to purchase up to thirty percent of our outstanding common stock. We offered to purchase up to 0.4 million shares of our Class A common stock, or any lesser number of Class A shares that stockholders properly tendered in the tender offer, and up to 2.4 million shares of our Class B common stock, or any lesser number of Class B shares that stockholders properly tendered in the tender offer, at a price per share of $1.10, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of $3.1 million. The offer expired on December 22, 2009. In the tender offer, we repurchased 0.2 million shares of Class A common stock and 0.8 million shares of Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.1 million, representing approximately 14% of our then total outstanding capital stock at that time.
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; and
|
|
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.
|
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, or were, owned by the Company, and their consolidated assets and results of operations.

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 60.1% of our consolidated revenues from continuing operations in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 63.3% 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 39.9% of our consolidated revenues from continuing operations in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 36.7% in the similar period in fiscal 2009.
On November 5, 2009, we purchased an additional 23.335% interest in IDW for a purchase price of $0.4 million in cash. As a result of the transaction, we own a 76.665% interest in IDW. We acquired the additional interests as we determined that the purchase price was reasonable as well as to reduce the number of noncontrolling interest holders in this business.
On May 5, 2010, the Company consummated the sale of substantially all of the assets used in the WMET radio station business (other than working capital) for a sale price of $4 million in a combination of cash and a promissory note from the buyer that is secured by the assets being sold. $1.3 million of the purchase price was paid in cash at the closing and the remainder will be paid pursuant to a two-year promissory note, which is extendable in part to three years at the option of the buyer. The sale met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and accordingly, WMET’s results are classified as part of discontinued operations.
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
CTM and IDW are our reportable business segments.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the September 2009 Spin-Off reflect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as if the current structure existed for all periods presented.
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 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 consolidated revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was flat as the increase in CTM revenues was offset by a decrease in IDW revenues. The increase in CTM revenues was primarily due to an increase in distribution and barter revenue offset by a decrease in printing revenues. The decrease in consolidated revenues in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 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 a global economic slowdown in our distribution and printing businesses. Some of CTM’s distribution customers rely on state and local funding or grants which have been decreased or eliminated, resulting in reduced advertising and customer spending and, in some cases, certain of our customers going out of business. The increase in IDW revenues was primarily due to an increase in licensing and royalty, digital publishing and creative service revenue, partially offset by lower publishing revenue..

Direct Cost of Revenues. The direct cost of revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was flat with a slight decrease in CTM revenues offset by a slight increase in IDW revenues. The decrease in CTM direct cost of revenues was a result of a decrease in printing revenue. The increase in IDW direct cost of revenues was a result of a shift in product mix. The direct cost of revenues in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was relatively flat with a slight decrease in CTM revenues offset by a slight increase in IDW revenues. The decrease in CTM’s direct cost of revenues was primarily due to decreased in distribution and printing revenues offset by increased gasoline and payroll expenses. The increase in IDW’s direct cost of revenues reflects the increase in revenues and the shift in product mix. Overall gross margin percentage slightly increased to 47.2% in the three months ended April 30, 2010 from 47.1% in the similar period in fiscal 2009. Overall gross margin percentage decreased to 50.6% in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 from 53.1% in the similar period in fiscal 2009, primarily 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, the gross margin percentage decreased due to IDW’s mix of products.
Selling, General and Administrative. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was a result of an increase in the selling, general and administrative expenses of CTM and IDW. CTM’s selling, general and administrative expenses increase was primarily a result of costs associated with operating as a publicly traded company and non cash compensation costs offset by a decrease in costs from exited lines of business. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was due to a decrease in the selling, general and administrative expenses of CTM offset by an increase in IDW costs. CTM’s selling, general and administrative expenses decrease was primarily due to the exit from certain unprofitable lines of businesses, reduction in compensation, commissions and insurance expenses partially offset by costs associated with operating as a publicly traded company and non cash compensation cost. IDW’s selling, general and administrative expenses increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of employees, consultants and IDW’s share of costs associated with operating as a publicly traded company. Total selling, general and administrative expenses associated with operating as a publicly traded company was $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010. Stock based compensation costs was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010.
14
As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 53.4% in the three months ended April 30, 2010 from 47.9% in the similar period in fiscal 2009, as selling, general and administrative expenses increased while revenues remained comparatively flat. As a percentage of total revenues, the selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at 48.4% for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 compared to 48.5% in the similar period in fiscal 2009.
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 ending on 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 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010, respectively.
Bad Debt Expense. The decrease in bad debt expense in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010 was due primarily to a decrease in bad debt expense of CTM.
Impairment and Severance Charges. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the following events and circumstances indicated that the fair value of certain of our reporting units may be below their carrying value: (1) a significant adverse change in the business climate, (2) operating losses of reporting units, and (3) significant revisions to internal forecasts. We measured the fair value of our reporting units by discounting their estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The carrying value including goodwill of CTM and IDW exceeded their estimated fair values; therefore additional steps were performed for these reporting units to determine whether an impairment of goodwill was required. As a result of this analysis, in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009, we recorded goodwill impairment of $29.7 million in CTM and $1.8 million in IDW, which reduced the carrying amount of the goodwill in each of these reporting units to zero. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009 we recorded restructuring charges of $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, consisting primarily of severance related to a company-wide cost savings program and reduction in force.

Income Taxes. Benefit from (provision for) income taxes in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010 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 has the right to control the conduct of any audit, examination or other proceeding brought by a taxing authority. We 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 benefit of IDT.

Revenues. The increase in CTM’s revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to an increase in distribution and barter revenue offset by a decrease in the printing business. The most significant increase in the distributions revenue have been in our New York market were Broadway show advertising has rebounded, followed by our Canada business which has been positively affected by a revised barter agreement. The increase in distribution revenue is partially offset by decreases in Florida, Philadelphia and New England. The decrease in our printing business is a result of a departure from this business toward the end of the third quarter. The only revenues from this line of business going forward will be on a commission basis for referring our customer base. The decrease in CTM’s revenues in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to a the global economic slowdown in our distribution and printing business. The most significant declines were in our New York market, due to the weakness in Broadway show advertising, followed by Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida and Chicago. Some of CTM’s distribution customers rely on state and local funding or grants which have been decreased or eliminated resulting in reduced advertising and customer spending.
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 April 30, 2010 is a result of a decrease in printing revenues. Despite the slight increase in distribution revenue the cost remains relatively flat as most of its costs are fixed. The decrease in direct cost of revenues in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 is primarily due to decreased in distribution and printing revenues offset by increased gasoline and payroll expenses.
CTM’s gross margin percentage increased in the three months ended April 30, 2010 to 57.7% from 50.7% due to lower revenues in the printing business which has relatively lower margins. CTM’s gross margin percentage decreased to 60.5% in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 from 61.3% in the similar period in fiscal 2009. Since a significant portion of CTM’s cost of sales is fixed, the gross margin percentage decreases when revenues decrease. Additionally, there was an increase in gasoline and payroll costs during the nine months ended April 30, 2010 which negatively impacted the gross margin.
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 was relatively flat for the three months ended April 30, 2010 as compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009. The increase of $0.2 million in costs associated with operating as a publicly traded company and stock based compensation was offset by a $0.2 million decrease in costs from exited lines of business. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 as compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 primarily due to the exit from certain unprofitable lines of businesses, reduction in compensation, commissions and insurances partially offset by costs associated with operating as a publicly traded company and stock based compensation. Total selling, general and administrative expenses associated with operating as a publicly traded company and stock based compensation was $0.3 and $0.2 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2010. As a percentage of CTM’s aggregate revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 60.7% and 54.9% in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010, respectively, from 61.0% and 59.1% in the three and nine months ended April 30 2009, respectively.
Impairment and severance charges. In the nine months ended April 30, 2009, we recorded aggregate goodwill impairment of $29.7 million in CTM, which reduced the carrying amount of the goodwill to zero. In the three and nine months ended April 30, 2009, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, consisted primarily of severance related to a company-wide cost savings program and reduction in force.

Revenues. IDW’s revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2010 as compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was lower due to publishing revenue from comic book movie releases toward the end of the third quarter of 2009, which resulted in higher revenue in that period. The decrease in publishing revenues was partially offset by an increase in creative services and digital publishing revenue. The increase in IDW’s revenues in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 as compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to an increase in licensing and royalty, digital publishing and creative services revenue, partially offset by lower publishing revenue. We do not expect IDW’s fiscal 2010 revenues to be as high as those earned in fiscal 2009 since revenues generated by the comic book movie releases in the fourth quarter of 2009 were exceptionally high.
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 available on Sony’s PSP and PSP Go.
Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct cost of revenues consists primarily of printing expenses and costs of artists and writers. Direct cost of revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2010 as compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was slightly higher due to a shift in product mix. The product shift of increased sales to hard cover edition graphic novels bear a slightly higher cost of sales than the traditional soft cover comic books with lower cost of sales. Additionally, fiscal 2010 revenue consisted of an increased number of titles sold, with lower sales per title. This resulted in lower print runs, which carry a higher print cost per unit. The increase in direct cost of revenues in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 as compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 reflects the increase in revenues, the shift in product mix.
IDW’s aggregate gross margin decreased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010 to 32.0% and 35.6%, respectively, from 42.2% and 38.9% in the similar periods in fiscal 2009. The decrease in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010 was primarily due to the mix of products.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010 as compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 primarily due to an increase in allocated expenses to IDW by CTM Holdings in fiscal 2010. This allocation includes executive salaries, stock based compensation and costs associated with operating as a publicly traded company, which were approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010, respectively. IDW has increased staff in an effort to increase the number of titles sold and establish a footprint into digital distribution. As a percentage of IDW’s aggregate revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the three and nine months ended April 30, 2010 to 42.9% and 38.5%, respectively, from 30.5% and 30.3% in the similar periods in fiscal 2009, as revenues increased at a slower rate than selling, general and administrative expenses.
Impairment and severance charges. In th nine months ended April 30, 2009, we recorded aggregate goodwill impairment of $1.8 million in IDW, which reduced the carrying amount of the goodwill to zero.

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 $0.9 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2009.
Investing Activities
Our capital expenditures were $0.3 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and $0.5 million in the similar period in fiscal 2009.
On November 5, 2009, we purchased an additional 23.335% interest in IDW for a purchase price of $0.4 million in cash. As a result of the transaction, we own a 76.665% interest in IDW. We acquired the additional interests as we determined that the purchase price was reasonable as well as to reduce the number of noncontrolling interest holders in this business.
On May 5, 2010, the Company consummated the sale of substantially all of the assets used in the WMET radio station business (other than working capital) for a sale price of $4 million in a combination of cash and a promissory note from the buyer that is secured by the assets sold. $1.3 million of the purchase price was paid in cash at the closing and the remainder will be paid pursuant to a two-year promissory note, which is extendable in part to three years at the option of the buyer.
Financing Activities
During all periods presented through 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. During that period, we used any excess cash provided by our operations to repay IDT. In the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, IDT provided cash to us of $2.4 million and $1.1 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 nine months ended April 30, 2010 and $0.3 million in the similar period in fiscal 2009 to the minority shareholders of IDW.
We repaid capital lease obligations of $0.2 million in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and $0.1 million in the similar period in fiscal 2009.
We repurchased $1.1 million of our Class A and Class B common stock in the nine months ended April 30, 2010 in connection with the tender offer that expired on December 22, 2009.
On February 23, 2010, our Board of Directors approved the payment of a cash dividend in the amount of $0.25 per share ($2.1 million in the aggregate) which was paid on March 15, 2010 to stockholders of record as of March 8, 2010 of our Class A, Class B and Class C common stock..
On March 16, 2010, our Board of Directors, in light of our significant cash position, the positive impact of the declaration and payment of the $0.25 per share dividend and the lack of near-term needs or opportunities for deployment of our cash, determined to declare the payment of a cash dividend for our fourth quarter in the amount of $0.06 per share (approximately $0.5 million in the aggregate). The dividend, subject to confirmation by our management that there is sufficient surplus as of the proposed payment date, will be paid on or about June 15, 2010 to stockholders of record as of May 3, 2010 of our Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock.
The declaration of any future dividend will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions and other factors, as well as a determination by our Board of Directors that dividends are in the best interest of our stockholders.
CHANGES IN TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Gross trade accounts receivable decreased to $3.4 million at April 30, 2010 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 25.3% at April 30, 2010 compared to 14.7% at July 31, 2009, primarily due to an increase in WMET’s allowance for bad debt.
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. 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.
18
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 as well as the $2.0 million cash contribution by IDT 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 April 30, 2010, 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 7.7% and 6.7% of our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, 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 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 has the right to control the conduct of any audit, examination or other proceeding brought by a taxing authority. We 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 benefit of IDT.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 derecognition 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 the 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.
19
In January 2010, the FASB amended the accounting standard relating to fair value measurements primarily to improve the disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. The main provisions of the amendment require new disclosures about (1) transfers in and out of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy and (2) activity within Level 3 of the hierarchy. In addition, the amendment clarifies existing disclosures about (1) the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements, (2) valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value, and (3) postretirement benefit plan assets. We were required to adopt these changes to our disclosures about fair value measurements on February 1, 2010, except for certain of the disclosures about the activity within Level 3, which are required to be adopted on August 1, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of these changes to our disclosures about fair value measurements to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
