Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

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 Jupitermedia’s 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 Jupitermedia’s 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.

Table of Contents

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 Jupitermedia’s 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 Jupitermedia’s 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 entity’s consolidated

Table of Contents

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 entity’s 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 entity’s 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 company’s 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 SEC’s 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):

 

     Three Months Ended
September 30,
   Nine Months Ended
September 30,
     2007    2008    2007    2008

Stock-based compensation

   $ 652    $ 856    $ 2,363    $ 3,972
                           

The effect of stock-based compensation increased additional paid-in capital by $856,000 and $4.0 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

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

 

     Nine Months Ended
September 30,
 
     2007     2008  

Risk-free interest rate

   4.88 %   2.46 %

Expected life (in years)

   4.2     2.4  

Dividend yield

   0 %   0 %

Expected volatility

   65 %   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 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 following table summarizes option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2008:

   4,485,479     $ 4.00    3.91    $ 10,967
                        

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before income taxes, based on Jupitermedia’s 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, Jupitermedia’s stockholders approved Jupitermedia’s 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 Jupitermedia’s 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 Jupitermedia’s 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 Jupitermedia’s 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.

Common Stock Option Exchange Offer

On May 20, 2008, Jupitermedia’s 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 Jupitermedia’s 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):

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 Jupitermedia’s 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. Jupitermedia’s outstanding debt, relating to the Credit Agreement, as of

 

12


Table of Contents

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 Jupitermedia’s 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 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 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.com’s 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 Jupitermedia’s reportable segments.

10. INCOME TAXES

On January 1, 2007, Jupitermedia adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an 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 Jupitermedia’s 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 Jupitermedia’s 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 stockholder’s 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 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 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. Lange’s 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 Company’s 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.

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 Jupitermedia’s 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.

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-ROM’s, 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 licensee’s 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 Mediabistro’s media-related events, produces offline conferences and trade shows focused on IT and business-specific topics.

Online images. 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.

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 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.

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 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.

The increase in advertising, promotion and selling expense during the three months ended September 30, 2008 is due primarily to an increase in advertising costs of $70,000, partially offset by a decrease in payroll related costs of $19,000. The increase in advertising, promotion and selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due primarily to the acquisition of Mediabistro, which added an additional $604,000.

Online images. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of payroll and benefits costs for administrative personnel, office related costs, professional fees and provisions for losses on accounts receivable. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due primarily to legal fees of $557,000 related to the stock purchase agreement with Getty Images, Inc. signed on October 22, 2008.

Online media. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of office related costs and provisions for losses on accounts receivable. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2008 is due primarily to an increase in payroll costs of $64,000, offset by a decrease in consulting expense of $32,000 and a decrease in office related costs of $28,000. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was due primarily to the acquisition of Mediabistro, which added an additional $661,000.

Other. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of payroll and benefits costs for administrative personnel, office related costs and professional fees. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to an increase of payroll related costs of $451,000 offset by a decrease in professional services of $389,000. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is due primarily to an increase in stock-based compensation of $1.2 million, an increase in payroll related costs of $783,000 and an increase in professional consulting fees of $344,000, partially offset by a decrease in professional legal and tax services of $2.2 million. The nine months ended September 30, 2007 included legal and accounting fees of $1.9 million associated with discussions with Getty images, Inc. regarding a potential transaction which were terminated on March 7, 2007.

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.

Interest expense relates primarily to borrowings under our senior credit facilities (see Liquidity and Capital Resources).

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 Jupitermedia’s outstanding debt was 7.6% and 6.5%, respectively.

Table of Contents

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.

Table of Contents

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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (who is also the Company’s Principal Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

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 (the “Action”) in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the “Court”), 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 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. Lange’s 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 Company’s insurers would pay all of the Fees and Expenses.

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

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 user’s 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.
