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 consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 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 Jupitermedia’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. 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

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Jupitermedia is currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 157 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 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Jupitermedia is currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have an impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

4. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Pursuant to SFAS No. 123 (Revised) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 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 in continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

 

    

Three Months Ended
September 30, 

   Nine Months Ended
September 30,
     2006    2007    2006    2007

Stock-based compensation

   $ 1,226    $ 652    $ 2,894    $ 2,363
                           

Jupitermedia uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards with the following assumptions for the indicated periods:

 

     Nine Months Ended
September 30,
 
     2006     2007  

Risk-free interest rate

   4.98 %   4.88 %

Expected life (in years)

   4.5     4.2  

Dividend yield

   0 %   0 %

Expected volatility

   56 %   65 %

The expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of Jupitermedia’s 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 historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.

The following table summarizes option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2007:

Vested and expected to vest at September 30, 2007

   4,623,823     $ 10.60    4.75    $ 3,927
                        

Exercisable at September 30, 2007

   3,651,373     $ 10.59    4.57    $ 3,927
                        

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before income taxes, based on Jupitermedia’s closing stock price of $6.33 as of September 30, 2007.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $1.0 million.

As of September 30, 2007, there was $4.8 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 financing activities increased by $3.0 million and $731,000, related to excess tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

5. COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or 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 earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Intangible assets and goodwill include the preliminary allocation of the purchase price relating to the acquisition of Mediabistro.com Inc. (see Note 8). Jupitermedia is in the process of obtaining a third party valuation of certain intangible assets, thus the allocation of the purchase price relating to the acquisition is subject to refinement.

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. The Credit Agreement provides for a $115 million senior credit facility. The senior credit facility is comprised of (i) a $75 million term loan facility, that was drawn in full on July 12, 2007, and (ii) a $40 million revolving credit facility, including a $2 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $5 million swingline facility. The future minimum payments under the Credit Agreement are $187,500 for the year ended December 31, 2007, $750,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 through 2011, and $84.6 million thereafter. Jupitermedia’s outstanding debt, relating to the Credit Agreement, as of September 30, 2007 is reflected in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets. Jupitermedia made one quarterly debt payment on its term loan totaling $187,500 during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Table of Contents

Jupitermedia is in compliance with its debt covenants relating to the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2007.

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 million of variable rate debt. Under this agreement, we receive a floating rate based on the LIBOR interest rate, and pay a fixed rate of 5.58% on the notional amount of $50 million.

As required by SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, all derivative instruments are recorded on the 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 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 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 September 30, 2007, the fair value of the interest rate swap was a net loss of $1.9 million and is recorded as other long-term liabilities in Jupitermedia’s unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swap of $1.1 million, net of tax, was recorded as an unrecognized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity and there was no ineffective portion.

8. ACQUISITION

On July 17, 2007, Jupitermedia agreed to acquire all of the shares of capital stock (the “Acquisition”) of Mediabistro.com Inc., a private 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 million in cash and a two year earn-out that could result in an additional $3 million in cash consideration. Funding for the acquisition was secured through the Credit Agreement arranged by KeyBank National Association (See Note 7).

The total purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities based on estimates of their respective fair values.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the acquisition of Mediabistro.com (in thousands):

The intangible assets subject to amortization are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to fifteen years. Jupitermedia is in the process of obtaining a third party valuation of certain intangible assets, thus the allocation of the purchase price relating to acquisition of Mediabistro is subject to refinement. The goodwill associated with the acquisition of Mediabistro is not deductible for tax purposes.

The acquisition of Mediabistro strengthens Jupitermedia’s position in the important media professionals market. The acquisition of Mediabistro further diversifies Jupitermedia’s revenue sources since a significant percentage of Mediabistro’s 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 20 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 lead to a significant portion of the purchase price of Mediabistro being allocated to goodwill.

On March 28, 2006, Jupitermedia sold its JupiterResearch division. As a result of the sale of the JupiterResearch division, the Research segment is now reflected as a discontinued operation in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $0 and $67,000, respectively, net of income taxes of $0 and $52,000, respectively.

11. INCOME TAXES

On January 1, 2007, Jupitermedia adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (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. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in a change to Jupitermedia’s January 1, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit. Jupitermedia remains open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service for 2004 through 2006 and is currently under examination for 2005. For most of its other significant tax jurisdictions, Jupitermedia’s income tax returns are also open for examination for 2004 through 2006. The amount of unrecognized tax benefit as of September 30, 2007 was $109,000 and is included in accrued expenses and other in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets. There was not a significant change in Jupitermedia’s liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Jupitermedia does not believe it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrealized tax benefits will change significantly in the next twelve months. Jupitermedia includes interest expense or income as well as potential penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in the unaudited consolidated condensed statement of operations. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2007 was $17,000 and is included in accrued expenses and other.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On or about November 13, 2006, Robert Lange, who identifies himself as a stockholder of Jupitermedia, commenced a purported stockholder’s derivative action in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, purportedly on behalf of Jupitermedia, against all of Jupitermedia’s current directors and against Jupitermedia’s 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 Jupitermedia’s 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 is scheduled to be held on the motion in December 2007.

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 Jupitermedia’s future revenues, expenses, cash flows and stock price; Jupitermedia’s ability to integrate acquired businesses, products and personnel into its existing businesses; Jupitermedia’s dependence on a limited number of advertisers; and Jupitermedia’s ability to protect its intellectual property. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and uncertainties, refer to Jupitermedia’s 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.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of original images and online information 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 7.0 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 and Stockxpert.com.

We generate our Online images revenues from paid subscriptions that provide access to our image libraries. Customers may purchase subscriptions, which are offered based on a variety of prices and terms, to access our image libraries. Once a customer becomes a subscriber, they have the ability to obtain copies of images within our image libraries.

We also derive revenue from granting rights to use images 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. Delivery occurs upon shipment or the availability of the image for downloading by the customer.

Our images are licensed online through our networks, through our direct sales force and through third party relationships. We also have agreements with a number of distributors of digital images 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 images to third parties for royalties based on the licensee’s revenues generated by the licensed images.

The principal costs of our Online images business relate to commissions paid to third party image suppliers, payroll costs for production personnel, sales and marketing personnel, advertising, technology infrastructure, lead generation fees for sales referrals and credit card processing fees.

Online media. The JupiterOnlineMedia division of Jupitermedia consists of five distinct online 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. The networks includes more than 150 Web sites and 150 e-mail newsletters that are viewed by over 20 million users and generate over 400 million page views monthly. JupiterOnlineMedia also includes specialized career Web sites for select professional communities which can be found on Mediabistro.com and JustTechJobs.com. JupiterOnlineMedia includes the STEP Inside Design and Dynamic Graphics print magazines. These magazines are geared towards graphic design professionals and provide the reader with ideas and information to help them with both online and offline graphic design and publishing projects. In addition, JupiterOnlineMedia includes JupiterEvents and Mediabistro’s media-related events which produce offline conference and trade shows focused on IT and business-specific topics.

Recent Acquisition

On July 18, 2007, Jupitermedia acquired all of the shares of Mediabistro.com Inc (“Mediabistro”). The consideration paid was $20 million in cash and a two year earn-out that could result in an additional $3 million in cash consideration. The acquisition of Mediabistro solidifies our position in the important media professionals market. The acquisition further diversifies our revenue sources since a significant percentage of Mediabistro’s revenue is generated from online job postings and online and in-person training courses.

Online media. The increase in revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2007 was due to the acquisition of Mediabistro which added $1.6 million in revenues. This was offset by a reduction in advertising revenues and in the number of advertisers. The decrease in revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due primarily to a reduction in advertising revenues due to a reduction in advertising spending by technology companies.

The following table sets forth a quarter-by-quarter comparison of the number of our Online media online advertisers and the average revenue derived from each advertiser (dollars in thousands):

Online images. 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 increase in cost of revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, is primarily due to an increase in commission expense of $1.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and an increase in employee related costs of $630,000 and $3.1 million, respectively. These increases in commission expense were primarily a result of the acquisitions consummated during 2006. The increase in employer related costs is due primarily to increases in technology and production personnel.

We intend to make investments through internal development and, where appropriate opportunities arise, acquisitions to continue to expand our image library and to substitute licensed images with images that we own that will result in reduced commission expense in the future. 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.

Online media. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due primarily to the acquisition of Mediabistro on July 18, 2007, which added $526,000 to cost of revenues. The remaining increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due to costs associated with events of $296,000 and $753,000, respectively.

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.

This was partially offset by a reduction in professional consulting fees of $1.2 million.

Since inception, we have funded operations through various means including our initial and follow-on public offerings of our common stock in June 1999, February 2000 and May 2004, the sale of our Events and Research businesses, through various credit agreements and through cash flows from operating activities.

Cash provided by operating activities increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to increases in depreciation and amortization expense.

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 2007 related primarily to acquisitions of certain businesses, including the acquisition of Mediabistro, and an increase in information technology related spending. Net cash used in investing activities in 2006 related primarily to acquisitions of certain businesses.

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 relates primarily to borrowings under our senior credit facilities.

We are party to a Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”), among ourselves, 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. The Credit Agreement provides for $115 million senior credit facility. The senior credit facility is comprised of (i) a $75 million term loan facility, that was drawn in full on July 12, 2007, and (ii) a $40 million revolving credit facility, including a $2 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $5 million swingline facility. The future minimum payments under the Credit Agreement are $187,500 for the year ended December 31, 2007, $750,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 through 2011 and $84.6 million thereafter. Jupitermedia’s outstanding debt, relating to the Credit Agreement, as of September 30, 2007 is reflected in the unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet. Jupitermedia made one quarterly debt payment on its term loan totaling $187,500 during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

We expect to continue our investing activities, which includes the potential to strategically acquire companies, content and images that are complementary to our business. Although we are currently considering potential strategic acquisitions, we have no binding commitments or agreements with respect to any such acquisitions. 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. We may obtain additional long-term financing through the issuance of equity securities and the incurrence of additional long-term secured or unsecured debt.

Our existing cash and investment balances may decline during 2007 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 next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have an impact on our 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 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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, 2006.

 

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 were the portfolio manager of, and an investor in, internet.com Venture Fund I LLC, or Fund I, a $5 million venture fund formed in March 1999. Fund I invested in early-stage content-based Internet properties that are not competitive with our business. Fund I was dissolved in 2006 as it had reached the end of its seven year life. The final distribution was made following the dissolution. We are also subject to interest rate fluctuations related to our borrowings under the Credit Agreement with KeyBank National Association.

We are exposed to interest rate risks primarily through the borrowings associated with our $115 million credit facility. Interest on our borrowings is based on upon variable rates (indexed based on LIBOR) and we have entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50 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, 2007, was approximately $1.9 million and is included in our other long-term liabilities of our unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On or about November 13, 2006, Robert Lange, who identifies himself as a stockholder of Jupitermedia, commenced a purported stockholder’s derivative action in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut, purportedly on behalf of Jupitermedia, against all of Jupitermedia’s current directors and against Jupitermedia’s 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 Jupitermedia’s 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 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, we 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 is scheduled to be held on the motion in December 2007.
