2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of Jupitermedia in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. The unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Jupitermedias Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been reflected in such consolidated condensed financial statements.
The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Jupitermedia and its majority-owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, Jupitermedia adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an
exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS No. 157 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for
assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
Level 1
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2
quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or
Level 3
unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.
The
determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In July 2007, Jupitermedia entered into a derivative interest rate swap, which
has been designated as a cash flow hedge (see note 7). The initial fair value of this instrument was determined by Jupitermedias counterparties using inputs that are available in the public swap markets for similarly termed instruments and
then making adjustments for the terms specific to its instrument. Jupitermedia continues to value this security based on quotes from its counterparties. Since the inputs used to value this option contract are observable, Jupitermedia has
classified them as level 2 inputs. There was no ineffectiveness relating to the interest rate swap for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, with all of the unrecognized gains and losses being recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income in stockholders equity.
6
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 157-2
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis. FSP FAS No. 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Jupitermedia is currently evaluating
whether the adoption of SFAS No. 157, for items within the scope of FSP FAS No. 157-2, will have an impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits
entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 was effective for
Jupitermedia on January 1, 2008. Jupitermedia did not elect the fair value option for existing eligible items; therefore, SFAS No. 159 had no impact on Jupitermedias unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009 and, therefore, will not impact Jupitermedias financial statements upon adoption. SFAS No. 141(R) makes significant changes to the accounting for
business combinations, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
professional fees incurred in connection with the business combination will be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as part of goodwill;
|
|
|
|
costs to be incurred in connection with restructuring activities that do not represent legal liabilities prior to the acquisition date will be expensed
post-acquisition rather than capitalized as part of goodwill;
|
|
|
|
material adjustments to the purchase price allocation made during the accounting measurement period will be recast to the original period of acquisition in
subsequent presentations of the respective financial statements; and
|
|
|
|
adjustments to deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position balances that occur after the accounting measurement period will be recorded as a component of income
tax expense rather than as an adjustment to goodwill, regardless of whether the entity was acquired prior to or after adoption of SFAS No. 141(R).
|
In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110, which, effective January 1, 2008, amends and replaces SAB
No. 107, Share-Based Payment. SAB No. 110 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the use of a simplified method in developing an estimate of the expected term of plain vanilla share options in
accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Under the simplified method, the expected term is calculated as the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term of the option. The use of
the simplified method, which was first described in SAB No. 107, was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007. SAB No. 110 extends the use of the simplified method for plain vanilla awards in
certain situations. The SEC staff does not expect the simplified method to be used when sufficient information regarding exercise behavior, such as historical exercise data or exercise information from external sources, becomes
available. The expected life of an option takes into consideration the history of similar options. Jupitermedia issued options in 2007 and 2008 with a life of five years, whereas similar options were previously granted with a life of 10 years.
Therefore, Jupitermedia feels that the simplified method for determining the expected life of the options is appropriate since they do not have the historical data to consider in determining the expected life of the newly granted
options. The adoption of SAB No. 110 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of Jupitermedia.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial
Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest
in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at
amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent
and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify
and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Jupitermedia is currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have an impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative
instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures stating how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and
its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys consolidated
7
financial statements. SFAS No. 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments to be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting
designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should
provide a more complete picture of the location in an entitys financial statements on both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Disclosing information about
credit-risk related contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an entitys liquidity from using derivatives. SFAS No. 161 requires cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial
statements locate important information about derivatives. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS
No. 161 also encourages, but does not require comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. Jupitermedia is currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have an impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends
the factors to be considered in renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
measurement provisions of this standard will apply only to intangible assets of Jupitermedia acquired after the effective date. Jupitermedia is currently evaluating whether the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 will have an impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be
included in the computation of Earnings Per Share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method. Upon adoption, all of a companys prior period EPS data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements,
summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1. Early application is not permitted for FSP EITF 03-6-1. Jupitermedia is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that FSP EITF 03-6-1 will have on
its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (the GAAP Hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The GAAP Hierarchy under SFAS No. 162 is as follows:
|
(a)
|
FASB SFAS and Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting
Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the FASB.
|
|
(b)
|
FASB Technical Bulletins, and if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position.
|
|
(c)
|
AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB EITF and the topics discussed in Appendix D of
EITF Abstracts.
|
|
(d)
|
Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Positions not cleared by
the FASB, and practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in the industry.
|
Jupitermedia is
currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
4. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
Pursuant to SFAS No. 123 (Revised) Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), Jupitermedia must
recognize the compensation expense for equity awards over the vesting period based on their grant-date fair value.
Total stock-based
compensation recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

The expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of Jupitermedias
common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is
based on the simplified method, which entails averaging the life of the option with the vesting period. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 was $3.91 and $0.65,
respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before income taxes, based on
Jupitermedias closing stock price of $1.16 as of September 30, 2008.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the
total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $2,000.
As of September 30, 2008, there was $4.1 million of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the stock incentive plan. That cost is expected to be amortized over a weighted-average period of thirteen months.
Cash provided by operating activities decreased and cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased by $863,000 and $0, related to excess tax
benefits from stock-based payment arrangements for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
At the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders of Jupitermedia Corporation held on June 3, 2008, Jupitermedias stockholders approved Jupitermedias 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan, along with the form of Incentive Stock Option
Agreement and the form of Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement were previously approved and adopted by Jupitermedias Board of Directors (the Board) on April 28, 2008. The Plan was approved and adopted subject to stockholder
approval.
The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the Compensation Committee) and allows for
the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, performance-based awards and other stock-based awards.
Subject to certain antidilution adjustments, an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Jupitermedias common stock may be issued under the Plan. In addition to this 4,000,000 base share reserve, up to 896,380 shares of common stock remaining
available for issuance under Jupitermedias 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of March 5, 2008) (the 1999 Plan) upon its expiration, together with up to 6,175,962 shares of common stock (as of June 30, 2008)
underlying outstanding awards granted under the 1999 Plan that remain undelivered following any expiration, cancellation, forfeiture, cash settlement, or other termination of such awards, may also be available for grant under the Plan.
9
Common Stock Option Exchange Offer
On May 20, 2008, Jupitermedias Board of Directors approved a plan to exchange all outstanding non-qualified stock options having an exercise
price greater than $4.00 per share (the Eligible Options) for new options with an exercise price of $2.01 per share, the closing price of Jupitermedias common stock on May 20, 2008, on a one-for-one basis. The new options
follow the vesting schedule of the original options that were exchanged.
Jupitermedia accounted for the exchange offer as a modification
under SFAS No. 123(R). In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Jupitermedia recorded the incremental fair value related to the exchanged awards, together with unamortized stock-based compensation expense associated with the unvested cancelled
awards, over the remaining vesting period. The fair values of the exchanged options were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. A total of 3,047,289 shares were cancelled and reissued. This amount has been included in the granted
and forfeited, expired or cancelled lines in the table above. The incremental fair value of the exchange offer was approximately $1.8 million, with $1.4 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2008, and the remaining $400,000 to
be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the options.
5. COMPUTATION OF LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options. Common equivalent shares
are excluded from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Computations of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Intangibles that are subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their
expected useful lives. The image library is amortized over seven and fifteen years, customer and distributor relationships are amortized over periods ranging from three to eight years, Web site development costs are amortized over three or five
years and trademarks and content development costs are amortized over three years. Supplier and contributor contracts are amortized over seven years. Non-compete agreements are amortized over the period of the agreements ranging from one to three
years.
Amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization was $3.4 million and $9.7 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $3.9 million and $11.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Estimated annual amortization expense for the next five years, including the remainder
of 2008, is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair market value of tangible and other intangible net assets acquired. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived
intangible assets are not amortized but tested for impairment annually or if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Although Jupitermedia normally conducts its annual impairment review in
the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, Jupitermedia received offers from multiple market participants for its Online images business during the third quarter of 2008 and concluded that the offers being made were a trigger of impairment to goodwill
as of September 30, 2008. Accordingly, Jupitermedia has recorded an estimated impairment charge of $40.0 million during the third quarter of 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2008, Jupitermedia will complete its valuation of impairment under SFAS No.
142 and SFAS No. 144, which will likely result in additional impairments of goodwill.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, are as follows (in thousands):

7. DEBT AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT
Jupitermedia is party to a Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2007 (the Credit Agreement), among
Jupitermedia, as borrower, the lenders party thereto (the Lenders), KeyBank National Association, as the lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent (the Administrative Agent), and Citizens Bank, N.A., as
Syndication Agent. Until amended as described below, the Credit Agreement provided for a $115.0 million senior credit facility and was comprised of (i) a $75.0 million term loan facility, that was drawn in full on July 12, 2007, and
(ii) a $40.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $2.0 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $5.0 million swingline facility. As of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008 the interest rate on Jupitermedias outstanding
debt was 7.6% and 6.5%, respectively.
On October 10, 2008, Jupitermedia, entered into the First Amendment Agreement, dated as of
October 10, 2008 (the Amendment), with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, to amend the Credit Agreement. The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, in pertinent part, as follows (capitalized terms are used as defined in the
Amendment):
|
|
|
Amendment to Financial Covenants. The Leverage Ratio covenant was modified to increase the maximum Leverage Ratio to 3.50 to 1.00 from September 30, 2008
through March 30, 2010, and 2.75 to 1.00 from March 31, 2010 through June 29, 2010. The maximum Leverage Ratio from June 30, 2010 was not changed. The maximum Consolidated Capital Expenditure covenant was modified to increase the
maximum amount permitted to $6.25 million during the 2008 fiscal year and $6.0 million during the 2009 fiscal year and was left unchanged for subsequent periods.
|
|
|
|
Changes to Fees and Interest Rate Margins. The Applicable Commitment Fee Rate was fixed at 50 basis points. The Applicable Margin was changed as follows: If the
Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 the Applicable Margin is 450 basis points for Eurodollar Loans and 450 basis points for Base Rate Loans, and otherwise the Applicable Margin is 475 basis points for Eurodollar Loans and 475 basis
points for Base Rate Loans.
|
|
|
|
Reduction in Size of Revolving Credit Facility. The Maximum Revolving Amount has been reduced to $25.0 million. The Swing Line Commitment has been reduced to $3.1
million.
|
|
|
|
Excess Cash Flow Prepayment. Commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company is required to make mandatory principal repayments equal to
75% of Excess Cash Flow; provided, that commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2009, if the Leverage Ratio at any time is less than 2.00 to 1.00 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters, the mandatory prepayment is reduced to 50% of
the Excess Cash Flow and remains at such reduced percentage unless and until the Leverage Ratio equals or exceeds 2.00 to 1.00.
|
|
|
|
Other Changes. The Amendment also contains an amendment to the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, includes a definition of Excess Cash Flow and contains certain
other modifications of the Credit Agreement. The accordion feature contemplated by Section 2.10(b) and (c) of the Credit Agreement is deleted pursuant to the Amendment.
|
The Company paid an amendment fee of 50 basis points to Lenders who consented to the Amendment.
The future minimum payments under the Credit Agreement are $187,500 for the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2008, $750,000 each year for
the years ended December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2011, $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $66.4 million thereafter. Jupitermedias outstanding debt, relating to the Credit Agreement, as of
12
September 30, 2008 is reflected in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet. Jupitermedia made three quarterly debt payments on its term loan
totaling $562,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Jupitermedia reduced the outstanding portion of the revolving credit facility by $463,000 and $4.5 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008. We are currently in compliance with our obligations under the Credit Agreement, including our debt covenants thereunder.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Jupitermedia also entered into a derivative interest rate swap that is to mature in July 2013, which has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The objective of the hedge is to eliminate the variability of
cash flows in the interest payments of $50.0 million of variable rate debt. Under this agreement, Jupitermedia receives a floating rate based on the LIBOR interest rate, and pays a fixed rate of 5.58% on the notional amount.
As required by SFAS No. 133 all derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value as derivative assets or
derivative liabilities. Subject to certain specific qualifying conditions in SFAS No. 133, a derivative instrument may be designated either as a hedge of the fair value of an asset or liability (fair value hedge), or as a hedge of the
variability of cash flows of an asset or liability or forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge). Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective, are recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income, a component of stockholders equity, and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the hedged items when they occur. In the event the forecasted transaction to which a cash flow hedge relates is no
longer likely, the amount in accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized in earnings and generally the derivative is terminated. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not qualifying as hedges, and for any portion of a hedge that is
ineffective, are reported in earnings. The net interest paid or received on interest rate swaps is recognized as interest expense. Gains resulting from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements are deferred and amortized as adjustments
to interest expense over the remaining period of the debt originally covered by the terminated swap.
At December 31, 2007 and
September 30, 2008, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $3.4 million and is recorded as other long-term liabilities in Jupitermedias consolidated condensed balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2008,
the effective portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swap of $164,000, net of tax of $103,000, was recorded as an unrecognized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity and there was no ineffective
portion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swap of $34,000, net of tax of $11,000, was recorded as an unrecognized gain in accumulated other comprehensive
income in stockholders equity and there was no ineffective portion.
During the third quarter of 2008, a valuation allowance was
established on the deferred tax asset associated with the cumulative unrecognized loss that has been recorded on the interest rate swap since inception. See note 10 for further discussion of the valuation allowance.
8. ACQUISITION
On July 17, 2007, Jupitermedia
agreed to acquire all of the shares of capital stock (the Acquisition) of Mediabistro.com Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware (Mediabistro), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement),
dated as of July 17, 2007, by and among Jupitermedia, Mediabistro Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jupitermedia (Merger Sub), Mediabistro and Laurel Touby, as agent for the
security holders of Mediabistro, in which, among other things, (x) the Merger Sub would merge with and into Mediabistro, (y) the separate existence of Merger Sub would cease, and (z) Mediabistro would continue its existence as both
the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jupitermedia. Mediabistro, based in New York City, is a career and community site for media and creative professionals, and includes job postings, educational courses, events, forums,
original content and a premium subscription service. The Acquisition closed the following day on July 18, 2007 concurrently with the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
The consideration paid in the Acquisition consisted of $20.0 million in cash and a two year earn-out that could result in an additional $3.0 million in
cash consideration. Funding for the acquisition was secured through the Credit Agreement arranged by KeyBank National Association (see note 7).
As part of the acquisition of Mediabistro, Jupitermedia is required to make earn-out payments totaling up to a maximum of $3.0 million based on the attainment of a profit target achieved by Mediabistro for the period from July 1, 2007
to June 30, 2008; and for the period from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Based upon the results of Mediabistro for the period from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008, Jupitermedia has recorded a liability of $900,000, which was
subsequently paid in October 2008.
The total purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities based on estimates of their
respective fair values.

Intangible assets and goodwill include the final allocation of the purchase price relating to the
acquisition of Mediabistro. The intangible assets subject to amortization are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to fifteen years. The goodwill associated with the acquisition of Mediabistro is not deductible
for tax purposes.
The acquisition of Mediabistro strengthens Jupitermedias position in the important media professionals market. The
acquisition of Mediabistro further diversifies Jupitermedias revenue sources since a significant percentage of Mediabistros revenue is generated from online job postings and online and in-person training courses. Jupitermedia believes
that online job postings and online and in-person training courses are natural e-commerce offerings for the 15 million unique users that it has on its Online media and Online images Web sites. Jupitermedia also believes that many of the
1.0 million unique users on Mediabistro will be buyers of its Online images product offerings. These factors resulted in a significant portion of the purchase price of Mediabistro being allocated to goodwill.
9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Jupitermedia has two
reportable segments: Online images and Online media. The following tables summarize the results of the segments of Jupitermedia for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008. Online images consists of the Jupiterimages
business that includes BananaStock, Workbook Stock, Brand X Pictures, FoodPix, Botanica, Nonstock, The Beauty Archive, IFA Bilderteam, Comstock Images, Creatas Images, PictureQuest, Liquid Library, Thinkstock Images, Thinkstock Footage, Goodshoot,
Polka Dot Images, Stock Image, Pixland, Photos.com, Ablestock.com, PhotoObjects.net, Clipart.com, AnimationFactory.com, RoyaltyFreeMusic.com, JupiterGreetings.com, eStockMusic.com and Stockxpert.com. Online media includes the internet.com,
EarthWeb.com, DevX.com, Mediabistro.com and Graphics.com Networks along with JupiterEvents and Mediabistro.coms media-related events. Advertisers generally place fewer advertisements during the first and third calendar quarters of each year,
which directly affects our Online media business. Our results will also be impacted by the number and size of events we hold in each quarter. In addition, there may be fluctuations as events held in one period in the current year may be held in a
different period in future years. Jupitermedia evaluates segment performance based on income or loss from operations. Other includes corporate overhead, depreciation and amortization. With the exception of goodwill, Jupitermedia does not identify or
allocate assets by operating segment. See note 6 for the allocation of goodwill to Jupitermedias reportable segments.

10. INCOME TAXES
On January 1, 2007, Jupitermedia adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (FIN 48).
FIN 48 creates a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition, the first step, occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon
examination. Measurement, the second step, determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Reversal of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when an enterprise subsequently determines
that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. FIN 48 specifically prohibits the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for the reversal of tax positions, and it has expanded disclosure requirements.
There has been no material change to Jupitermedias unrecognized tax benefits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
A provision for income taxes of $233,000 and an income tax benefit of $113,000 were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 was principally impacted by $1.9 million in legal and accounting fees associated with discussions with Getty Images, Inc., regarding a potential sale, which were terminated on March 7, 2007.
A provision for income taxes of $18.0 million and $16.8 million was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008,
respectively. The income tax provision is primarily related to the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets that were recorded as of December 31, 2007. The income tax provision is also impacted by income taxes
accrued in foreign jurisdictions where Jupitermedia has income, partially offset by an income tax benefit related to losses incurred for United States federal income tax purposes that can be carried back.
Based on Jupitermedias most recent projections, management has concluded that it is more likely than not that Jupitermedia will have insufficient
taxable income to allow recognition of certain of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established against those deferred tax assets where there is uncertainty on future utilization as described below.
At December 31, 2007, Jupitermedia had federal, state and foreign net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $4.1 million for which a
valuation allowance of $800,000 had been established. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future years. Jupitermedia has established an additional valuation allowance against $2.4 million of
deferred tax assets attributable to NOL carryforwards in the third quarter.
At December 31, 2007, Jupitermedia had other deferred tax
assets of $18.1 million which were primarily composed of amortization and impairment of intangible assets and reversals of book expense on stock-based compensation. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable
income in future years. Jupitermedia has established a valuation allowance against $14.8 million of these deferred tax assets.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On or about November 13, 2006, Robert Lange, who identifies himself as a stockholder of Jupitermedia, commenced a purported stockholders derivative action (the Action) in the United States
District Court for the District of Connecticut (the Court), purportedly on behalf of Jupitermedia, against all of Jupitermedias current directors and against Jupitermedias former Chief Financial Officer. Jupitermedia is named
in the suit as a nominal defendant on whose behalf recovery is purportedly sought. Mr. Lange did not make a litigation demand on Jupitermedias board of directors prior to commencing the action, and alleges that such demand
should be excused as a matter of law. The complaint alleges, based primarily on a statistical analysis, that certain stock options granted to certain of the defendants in 1999, 2000 and 2001 were backdated, and asserts on behalf of Jupitermedia
various causes of action against the defendants arising out of such alleged backdating, including securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. On April 24, 2007, Jupitermedia and the individual defendants filed a motion to
dismiss the case in its entirety. Rather than respond to the motion to dismiss, the Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on July 16, 2007. The amended complaint removes one of the individual defendants, but is substantially similar to the
original complaint. On or around September 11, 2007, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Briefing on that motion is completed, and oral argument was held on the motion in December 2007. The Court subsequently denied the
motion as moot after being advised by the parties that they had agreed to a settlement of the action, pending Court approval.
On
October 8, 2008, the Court granted preliminary approval of a comprehensive settlement of the Action, and scheduled a hearing for December 10, 2008 to consider whether to approve the settlement and enter judgment thereon. At the settlement
hearing, Mr. Langes counsel will request that the Court approve the agreed-to fees and expenses (Fees and Expenses) for their efforts in filing, prosecuting and settling the Action. If the settlement receives final Court
approval, the Companys insurers would pay all of the Fees and Expenses.
Jupitermedia is subject to legal proceedings and claims that
arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not materially affect the financial statements of Jupitermedia.

13. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the fourth quarter of 2007, Jupitermedia identified certain adjustments related to deferred income tax assets and liabilities and income taxes
payable as a result of incorrectly accounting for the tax effects of certain purchase accounting adjustments as well as corrections related to foreign currency transactions that reclassified foreign currency transaction gains and losses from
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated condensed balance sheet to other income (loss), net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 in the consolidated condensed statement of operations. As a result,
Jupitermedia has restated its consolidated condensed statement of operations and consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The following tables show the effects of this restatement on Jupitermedias consolidated condensed

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 22, 2008, Jupitermedia entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement (the Agreement) to sell its Online images business to Getty Images, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $96.0
million in cash, subject to a working capital purchase price adjustment (the Sale).
The Agreement provides that, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, Getty Images, Inc. will purchase from Jupitermedia, and Jupitermedia will transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Getty Images, Inc. all of its shares in Jupiterimages Corporation, an
Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Jupitermedia ( Jupiterimages ). As a result of the Sale, Jupiterimages will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Getty Images, Inc. The transaction is not subject to a financing
condition. The consummation of the transaction is subject to approval by Jupitermedias stockholders and other customary closing conditions. As a result of the Agreement, Jupitermedia will account for the operations of its Online images
business as a discontinued operation during the fourth quarter of 2008. Jupitermedia expects to incur a non-cash loss of approximately $55.0 million upon the closing of the Sale, less any additional impairment charges recorded by the Company prior
to the closing of the Sale.
Effective as of October 24, 2008, Christopher Cardell resigned as the President and Chief Operating
Officer of Jupitermedia and as a director of Jupitermedia to pursue other interests.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes, which
appear elsewhere in this filing. Statements in this Form 10-Q, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The potential risks and uncertainties address a variety of subjects
including, for example: the competitive environment in which Jupitermedia competes; the unpredictability of Jupitermedias future revenues, expenses, cash flows and stock price; Jupitermedias ability to integrate acquired businesses,
products and personnel into its existing businesses; Jupitermedias dependence on a limited number of advertisers; and Jupitermedias ability to protect its intellectual property. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and
uncertainties, refer to Jupitermedias reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The forward-looking statements included herein are made as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and we
are under no obligation to update the forward-looking statements after the date hereof. The following Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been revised to reflect the effects of the restatement
described in note 13 to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.
Recent Developments
On October 22, 2008, we entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement (the Agreement) to sell our Online images business to Getty Images,
Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $96.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital purchase price adjustment (the Sale). The consummation of the transaction is subject to approval by our stockholders and other customary closing
conditions. As a result of the Agreement, we will account for the operations of our Online images business as a discontinued operation during the fourth quarter of 2008. We expect to incur a non-cash loss of approximately $55.0 million upon the
closing of the Sale, less any additional impairment charges recorded prior to the closing of the Sale.
Effective as of October 24, 2008,
Christopher Cardell resigned as the President and Chief Operating Officer of Jupitermedia and as a director of Jupitermedia to pursue other interests.
Overview
We are a leading global provider of images, original information, job boards and events for information technology
(IT), business and creative professionals. Our operations are classified into two principal segments: Online images and Online media.
Online images.
Jupiterimages, our Online images business, is one of the leading images companies in the world with over 10.0 million images online serving creative professionals with brands like BananaStock, Workbook
Stock, Brand X Pictures, FoodPix, Botanica, Nonstock, The Beauty Archive, IFA Bilderteam, Comstock Images, Creatas Images, PictureQuest, Liquid Library, Thinkstock Images, Thinkstock Footage, Bigshot Media, Goodshoot, Polka Dot Images, Stock Image,
Pixland, Photos.com, Ablestock.com, PhotoObjects.net, Clipart.com, AnimationFactory.com, JupiterGreetings.com, RoyaltyFreeMusic.com, StudioCutz.com, eStockMusic.com and Stockxpert.com.
We generate our Online images revenues from paid subscriptions that provide access to our image and music libraries. Customers may purchase
subscriptions, which are offered based on a variety of prices and terms, to access our image and music libraries. Once a customer becomes a subscriber, they have the ability to download copies of images or music within our libraries. We recognize
subscription revenue ratably over the period of the subscription.
We also derive revenue from granting rights to use images and music that
are downloaded or delivered on CD-ROMs. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. For
downloads, delivery occurs based on the availability of the image or music for downloading by the customer. For shipments of CD-ROMs, revenue is recognized and risk of loss is passed at the point of delivery to the customer via standard
delivery methods of ground transportation or next day air delivery.
Our images and music are licensed online through our networks, through
our direct sales force and through third party relationships. We have agreements with a number of distributors of images, music and footage clips, whereby the distributors make sales to third party customers and remit a percentage of the sales to
us. We recognize the revenue from the sale by the distributor at the time of the sale.
We also license a portion of our content to third
parties for royalties based on the licensees revenues generated by the licensed content.
The principal costs of our Online images
business relate to commissions paid to third party image suppliers, payroll costs for technology, production, sales and marketing personnel, advertising, technology infrastructure, lead generation fees for sales referrals and credit card processing
fees.
Online media.
The media segment of Jupitermedia consists of the JupiterOnlineMedia division, which operates five
distinct networks: internet.com and EarthWeb.com for IT and business professionals; DevX.com for developers; and Mediabistro.com and Graphics.com for media and creative professionals. JupiterOnlineMedia includes more than 150 Web sites and 150
e-mail newsletters that are viewed by over 15 million users monthly. JupiterOnlineMedia includes specialized career Web sites for select professional communities, which can be found on Mediabistro.com and JustTechJobs.com. JupiterOnlineMedia
also includes the STEP Inside Design and Dynamic Graphics print magazines. In addition, JupiterOnlineMedia, which includes JupiterEvents and Mediabistros media-related events, produces offline conferences and trade shows focused on IT and
business-specific topics.

We generate our Online media revenues from:
|
|
|

|
|
|

renting our permission based opt-in e-mail list names; and
|
|

The decrease in revenues during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 is due primarily to declines in direct sales of royalty-free single images and CD-ROMs and in sales from third party distributors, partially offset by an increase in subscription revenues. This was mainly due to changes in
the images industry, including the emergence of competitive image offerings such as micropayment. We are continually creating new product offerings to address the changes in the market.

Online media.
The decrease in revenues during the three months ended September 30,
2008 is due to a decrease in advertising revenue, which was due primarily to the downturn in the U.S. and global economy. The increase in revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due to the acquisition of Mediabistro which
added an additional $4.8 million in revenues. This was partially offset by a reduction in advertising revenues due to a decline in advertising spending by technology companies.

Cost of revenues primarily consists of commissions paid to third party image
suppliers, payroll and benefits costs for technology and production personnel, communications infrastructure, Web site hosting and storage for our image library. Cost of revenues excludes depreciation and amortization. The decrease in cost of
revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is due primarily to a decrease in commission expense of $795,000. The decrease in cost of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due primarily to a decrease in
commission expense of $2.2 million due primarily to a decrease in sales and a shift in sales from third party content to wholly owned content. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in technology consulting expense of $427,000.
We intend to make investments through internal development. As we continue to make investments to increase the size of our image library,
we may need to increase our spending for Web site hosting and storage costs.

Cost of revenues primarily consists of
payroll and benefits costs for technology and editorial personnel, freelance costs, communications infrastructure and Web site hosting. Cost of revenues excludes depreciation and amortization. The increase in cost of revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 2008 is due primarily to an increase of employee related costs. The increase in cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due primarily to the acquisition of Mediabistro on July 18, 2007,
which added an additional $2.4 million to cost of revenues. The remaining increase is due primarily to increases in employee related costs of $904,000.
We intend to make investments through internal development and, where appropriate opportunities arise, acquisitions to continue to expand our content offerings. We may need to increase our spending in order to create
additional content related to new topics or offerings.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 due primarily to the acquisition of Mediabistro.
Our depreciation and amortization expenses may vary in future
periods based upon a change in our capital expenditure levels or any future acquisitions.
Impairment of goodwill
Although we normally conduct our annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, we have received offers from multiple market
participants for our Online images business during the third quarter of 2008 and concluded that the offers being made were a trigger of impairment to goodwill as of September 30, 2008. Accordingly, we have recorded an estimated impairment charge of
$40.0 million during the third quarter of 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we will complete our valuation of impairment under SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144, which will likely result in additional impairments of goodwill.
Other loss, net
Other loss of $853,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 2008 and other loss of $58,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was due primarily to foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes
A provision for income taxes of $233,000 and an income tax benefit of $113,000 were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The income tax provision for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 was principally impacted by $1.9 million in legal and accounting fees associated with discussions with Getty Images, Inc., regarding a potential sale, which were terminated on March 7, 2007.
A provision for income taxes of $18.0 million and $16.8 million was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008,
respectively. The income tax provision is primarily related the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets that were recorded as of December 31, 2007. The income tax provision is also impacted by income taxes accrued
in foreign jurisdictions where we have income, partially offset by an income tax benefit related to losses incurred for United States federal income tax purposes that can be carried back.
Based on our most recent projections, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that we will have insufficient taxable income to allow
recognition of certain of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established against those deferred tax assets where there is uncertainty on future utilization as described below.
At December 31, 2007, we had federal, state and foreign net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $4.1 million for which a valuation
allowance of $800,000 had been established. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future years. We have established an additional valuation allowance against $2.4 million of deferred tax
assets attributable to NOL carryforwards in the third quarter.
At December 31, 2007, we had other deferred tax assets of $18.1
million which were primarily composed of amortization and impairment of intangible assets and reversals of book expense on stock-based compensation. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in
future years. We have established a valuation allowance against $14.8 million of these deferred tax assets.

Since inception, we have funded operations through various means including our initial and
follow-on public offerings of our common stock in June 1999, January 2000 and May 2004, the sales of our Events and Research businesses, through various credit agreements and through cash flows from operating activities. Our cash balance
decreased from December 31, 2007 due primarily to payments made to reduce our debt. Cash decreased in 2007 due primarily to acquisitions of businesses partially offset by cash flows from operations.
Cash provided by operating activities increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due primarily to decreases in accounts receivable
and prepaid expenses and other assets.
The amounts of cash used in investing activities vary in correlation to the number and cost of the
acquisitions consummated. Net cash used in investing activities in 2008 related primarily to information technology related spending. Net cash used in investing activities in 2007 related primarily to acquisitions of certain businesses and
information technology spending.
As part of the acquisition of Mediabistro, we are required to make earn-out payments totaling up to a
maximum of $3.0 million based on the attainment of a profit target achieved by Mediabistro for the period from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008; and for the period from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Based upon the results of
Mediabistro for the period from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008, the Company has recorded a liability of $900,000, which was subsequently paid in October 2008.
Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 related primarily to repayments under our credit facility. Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 was due to repayments under our credit facility offset by borrowings under our credit facility and proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Jupitermedia is party to a Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2007 (the Credit Agreement), among Jupitermedia, as borrower, the lenders party thereto (the Lenders),
KeyBank National Association, as the lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent (the Administrative Agent), and Citizens Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent. Until amendment as described below, the Credit Agreement provided
for a $115.0 million senior credit facility and was comprised of (i) a $75.0 million term loan facility, that was drawn in full on July 12, 2007, and (ii) a $40.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $2.0 million sublimit
for letters of credit and a $5.0 million swingline facility. As of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008 the interest rates on Jupitermedias outstanding debt was 7.6% and 6.5%, respectively.
23
On October 10, 2008, Jupitermedia, entered into the First Amendment Agreement, dated as of
October 10, 2008 (the Amendment), with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, to amend the Credit Agreement. The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, in pertinent part, as follows (capitalized terms are used as defined in the
Amendment):
|
|
|
Amendment to Financial Covenants. The Leverage Ratio covenant was modified to increase the maximum Leverage Ratio to 3.50 to 1.00 from September 30, 2008
through March 30, 2010, and 2.75 to 1.00 from March 31, 2010 through June 29, 2010. The maximum Leverage Ratio from June 30, 2010 was not changed. The maximum Consolidated Capital Expenditure covenant was modified to increase the
maximum amount permitted to $6.25 million during the 2008 fiscal year and $6.0 million during the 2009 fiscal year and was left unchanged for subsequent periods.
|
|
|
|
Changes to Fees and Interest Rate Margins. The Applicable Commitment Fee Rate was fixed at 50 basis points. The Applicable Margin was changed as follows: If the
Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 the Applicable Margin is 450 basis points for Eurodollar Loans and 450 basis points for Base Rate Loans, and otherwise the Applicable Margin is 475 basis points for Eurodollar Loans and 475 basis
points for Base Rate Loans.
|
|
|
|
Reduction in Size of Revolving Credit Facility. The Maximum Revolving Amount has been reduced to $25.0 million. The Swing Line Commitment has been reduced to $3.1
million.
|
|
|
|
Excess Cash Flow Prepayment. Commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company is required to make mandatory principal repayments equal to
75% of Excess Cash Flow; provided, that commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2009, if the Leverage Ratio at any time is less than 2.00 to 1.00 for any two consecutive fiscal quarters, the mandatory prepayment is reduced to 50% of
the Excess Cash Flow and remains at such reduced percentage unless and until the Leverage Ratio equals or exceeds 2.00 to 1.00.
|
|
|
|
Other Changes. The Amendment also contains an amendment to the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, includes a definition of Excess Cash Flow and contains certain
other modifications of the Credit Agreement. The accordion feature contemplated by Section 2.10(b) and (c) of the Credit Agreement is deleted pursuant to the Amendment.
|
The Company paid an amendment fee of 50 basis points to Lenders who consented to the Amendment.
The future minimum payments under the Credit Agreement are $187,500 for the remainder of 2008, $750,000 each year for the years ended December 31,
2009 through 2011, $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $66.4 million thereafter. Our outstanding debt, relating to the Credit Agreement, as of September 30, 2008 is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. We made
three quarterly debt payments on our term loan totaling $562,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We also reduced the outstanding portion of the revolving credit facility by $463,000 and $4.5 million, respectively, during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. We are currently in compliance with our obligations under the Credit Agreement, including our debt covenants thereunder.
We expect to continue our investing activities, which includes the potential to strategically acquire companies and content that are complementary to our business. We expect to finance future acquisitions through a
combination of long-term and short-term financing including debt, equity and cash and internally generated cash flow.
Our existing cash
and investment balances may decline during 2008 in the event of a downturn in the general economy or changes in our planned cash outlay. However, based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that our existing balances
together with our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We have not entered into off-balance
sheet arrangements or issued guarantees to third parties.
The following table represents our expected cash requirements for contractual
obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

Interest payments required under the Credit Agreement were excluded from the above table due to the
variability of the interest rates. Given prevailing market rates, we have experienced a decline of approximately 1%2% in our effective annual interest rate resulting in a reduction in interest expense. Our current expected outstanding debt
range is between $71.0$79.1 million for the period December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2012. As part of the Credit Agreement, we executed a derivative interest rate swap on $50.0 million of our overall $75.0 million of new term
loan debt, which allowed us to swap our floating interest rate based on the three month LIBOR interest rate for a fixed rate of 5.58%. We estimate annual fixed rate interest expense to be in the range of $2.7$2.8 million related to the
interest rate swap. The remaining debt amount that is not covered by the interest rate swap is subject to a variable interest rate and we estimate the annual rate range will be between 7.5% and 9.6%, or $1.9$2.8 million in interest expense. We
estimate the amount of outstanding debt subject to our variable rates to range from $29.7 million in 2008 down to $23.5 million at the end of 2012. Accordingly, we estimate our total annual interest expense to be in the range of $4.6$5.6
million for each of the years ending December 31, 2009 though 2012. Other assumptions include the reductions in the carrying value of our debt based on the minimum required annual principal payments under the Credit Agreement, which may or may
not reflect future events.
Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are excluded from the table above due to the uncertainty of the timing
of the resolution of the underlying tax positions. The current portion of these liabilities at September 30, 2008 was $1.3 million, which we expect to be settled in the next 12 months. The non-current portion at
September 30, 2008 was $201,000, of which the timing of the resolution is uncertain.
We have an employment agreement with our
President and Chief Operating Officer. This provides 12 months of severance to be paid upon termination and is not reflected in the above table. We also have an employment agreement with our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. This provides
six months of severance to be paid upon termination and is not reflected in the above table.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See note 3 to our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein.
Critical Accounting Policies
There
have been no changes to our critical accounting policies from those included in our most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Item 3.
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risks
|
We have no derivative commodity instruments. We invest our excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies.
We invest in equity instruments of privately held, online media and technology companies for business and strategic purposes. These investments are included in investments and other assets and are accounted for under the cost method, as we
do not have the ability to exert significant influence over the companies or their operations. For these non-quoted investments, our policy is to regularly review the assumptions underlying the operating performance and cash flow forecasts in
assessing the carrying values. We identify and record impairment losses on long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired.
We are exposed to interest rate risks primarily through the borrowings associated with our Credit Agreement with KeyBank National Association. Interest on our borrowings is based on upon variable rates (indexed based
on LIBOR). During 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million which, for a portion of our variable rate debt, effectively converts the variable component of our interest into a fixed rate of 5.58%. The
interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of which is recorded as an unrecognized gain (loss) in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders equity. The fair value of the interest rate swap as of
September 30, 2008, was $3.4 million and is included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.
We are exposed
to foreign currency risk as the parent company and many of our subsidiaries enter into transactions that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency (foreign currencies), primarily euros, British pounds, U.S. dollars and
Japanese yen. Some of these transactions result in foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities that are revalued each month. Upon revaluation, transaction gains and losses are generated, which, with the exception of those related to
long-term intercompany balances, are reported as exchange gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations in the periods in which the exchange rates fluctuate. Transaction gains and losses on foreign currency denominated long-term
intercompany balances for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in our consolidated balance sheets.

Controls and Procedures
|
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
(who is also the Companys Principal Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such
evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2008 due to material weaknesses in the
accounting for income taxes and the financial reporting close process as described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation steps
discussed below, there were no changes to the Companys internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Steps Subsequent to December 31, 2007
Income taxes and Financial Reporting
Management is taking the following measures to address the material weaknesses related to accounting for income taxes and the financial reporting close process identified in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Management is:
|
|
|
Re-evaluating the design of income tax accounting processes and controls and implementing new and improved processes and controls, including the addition of tax
personnel;
|
|
|
|
Increasing the level of review and discussion of tax reconciliations and supporting documentation with senior management;
|
|
|
|
Formalizing a process for documenting decisions made based upon the review of tax packages or any other supporting information provided;
|
|
|
|
Expanding and strengthening its accounting staff, by hiring additional qualified accounting and finance personnel to accelerate the review and expand the monitoring
of accounting transactions and results. A qualified accountant has also been added to specifically prepare the statement of cash flows and assist with the evaluation of foreign intercompany balances; and
|
|
|
|
Adding consulting resources and incremental accounting resources to accelerate the implementation of a company wide financial software system that will include all
foreign subsidiaries and will enhance the financial reporting process.
|
Management anticipates that these remediation
efforts will enhance the controls and procedures and is taking steps to remediate the material weakness related to income taxes and financial reporting, which was previously disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Until
such material weakness is remediated, management has put into place additional monitoring procedures. During 2008, management will continue to reassess the effectiveness of the remediation efforts in connection with its tests of internal control
over financial reporting.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|
On or about November 13, 2006,
Robert Lange, who identifies himself as a stockholder of Jupitermedia, commenced a purported stockholders derivative action (the Action) in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the Court),
purportedly on behalf of Jupitermedia, against all of Jupitermedias current directors and against Jupitermedias former Chief Financial Officer. Jupitermedia is named in the suit as a nominal defendant on whose behalf recovery
is purportedly sought. Mr. Lange did not make a litigation demand on Jupitermedias board of directors prior to commencing the action, and alleges that such demand should be excused as a matter of law. The complaint alleges, based
primarily on a statistical analysis, that certain stock options granted to certain of the defendants in 1999, 2000 and 2001 were backdated, and asserts on behalf of Jupitermedia various causes of action against the defendants arising out of such
alleged backdating, including securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. On April 24, 2007, Jupitermedia and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the case in its entirety. Rather than respond to the motion
to dismiss, the Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on July 16, 2007. The amended complaint removes one of the individual defendants, but is substantially similar to the original complaint. On or around September 11, 2007, Defendants
filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Briefing on that motion is completed, and oral argument was held on the motion in December 2007. The Court subsequently denied the motion as moot after being advised by the parties that they had
agreed to a settlement of the action, pending Court approval.
On October 8, 2008, the Court granted preliminary approval of a
comprehensive settlement of the Action, and scheduled a hearing for December 10, 2008 to consider whether to approve the settlement and enter judgment thereon. At the settlement hearing, Mr. Langes counsel will request that the Court
approve the agreed-to fees and expenses (Fees and Expenses) for their efforts in filing, prosecuting and settling the Action. If the settlement receives final Court approval, the Companys insurers would pay all of the Fees and
Expenses.
We have revised the disclosure under the
Risk Factor entitled If we are unable to adapt to the relatively new and rapidly changing Internet advertising environment, we may be unable to attract advertisers to our networks and our revenues could suffer as follows:
The Internet is a relatively new advertising medium and advertisers that have historically relied upon traditional advertising media may be reluctant to
advertise on the Internet. In addition, advertisers that have already invested substantial resources in other advertising methods may be reluctant to adopt a new strategy. Moreover, filtering software programs that limit or prevent advertising from
being delivered to an Internet users computer are now more effective and widely available. Widespread adoption of this filtering software by Internet users could impair the commercial viability of Internet advertising. Our business would
suffer a decrease in revenues if the market for Internet advertising fails to recover from its recent downturn or develops more slowly than expected.
In addition, several pricing models have emerged for selling advertising on the Internet. A majority of our advertising is sold on a cost-per-impression basis in which we are paid for every advertising impression that
we display. We also offer advertising based on certain cost-per-action models in which we are paid only when a specific event occurs, such as a web site visitor downloading a computer file or a web site visitor requesting information on a product.
Pricing models continue to emerge and our advertising revenue could suffer if we are unable to adapt to this evolving environment.
