1. DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 and the consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods
presented herein have been prepared by Emerging Media Holdings, Inc. (the
“Company” or “EMH”) and are unaudited. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for all periods presented has been
made. The information for the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2008 was derived from audited financial statements.
Organization
EMH was
incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 3, 2003. The Company
directs its operations through its subsidiaries, Media Alianta S.R.L. (“Media
Alianta”), formerly Cabavarum S.R.L., Analytic Media Group, S.A. ("AMG"), Media
Top Prim S.R.L (LLC) (“Media Top Prim”) and Alkasar Media Services
S.R.L. All the subsidiaries' operations and assets are located in the
Republic of Moldova. Through its subsidiaries, the Company's primary
activities are in radio and television broadcasting. The Company was
granted a broadcasting license in 2005 which extends through
2011. The Company earns its revenue primarily through advertisement
sales.
Basis
of Presentation
In July
2006, EMH entered into a share exchange agreement with Cabavarum S.R.L.
("Cabavarum"), a Moldavia company, with primary activities in radio and
television broadcasting and earns its revenue primarily through advertisement
sales. In connection with the share exchange, the Company acquired
the assets and assumed the liabilities of Cabavarum. For accounting
purposes, the share exchange has been treated as a recapitalization of
Cabavarum.
As
provided for in the share exchange agreement, the stockholders of Cabavarum
received 5,251,000 shares of newly issued EMH common stock in exchange for the
outstanding shares of Cabavarum they held, which was accounted for as a
recapitalization. The financial statements prior to July 2006, are
those of Cabavarum and reflect the asset and liabilities of Cabavarum and AMG at
historical carrying amounts. In addition, certain shareholders of EMH
transferred 6,726,400 shares to associates of Cabavarum. The
associates provided consulting services to the shareholders of Cabavarum in
connection with the merger with EMH, marketing activities, relations within the
Russian media market, computer programming and acquisitions.

Accounting Policies
Principles of
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its
wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. For
those consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company's ownership is less than
100 percent (100%), the outside stockholders' interests are shown as
noncontrolling interest. The noncontrolling interest of the Company's
earnings or loss is classified as net income attributable to noncontrolling
interest in the consolidated statement of operations.

Economic and Political
Risks
The
Company faces a number of risks and challenges since its operations
are in the
Republic of Moldova and its primary market is
in Moldova. The financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. 100% of the consolidated
revenue is earned in Moldova. Management cannot presently predict
what future impact the political risk will have on the Company, if any, or how
the political climate in Moldova will affect the Company’s
operations. Accordingly, events resulting from any change in the
political climate could have a material effect on the Company.
Cash
Equivalents
Cash
equivalents include short-term investments in money market funds with an
original maturity of three months or less when purchased. At
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, cash equivalents approximated $208,000
and $815,000, respectively.
Marketable
Securities
The
Company classifies its fixed income securities as “held-to-maturity”, and
accordingly, are carried at cost, which approximates market value. In
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification ("ASC") 320, "Investments-Debt and Equity Securities"
("ASC 320"), the Company periodically reviews its marketable securities and
determines whether the investments are other-than-temporarily
impaired. If the investments are deemed to be other-than-temporarily
impaired, the investments are written down to their then current fair market
value. See Note 5 for further discussion regarding these impairment
charges. Realized gains or losses from the sale of marketable
securities are based on the specific identification method.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market on average cost basis, and includes
petrol and cosmetic products.
Employee
Receivables
The
Company advances loans to certain employees. The loans are interest
free. Receivables from employees at September 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008 amounted to $75,249 and $93,559, respectively, and are included in
employee receivables and other current assets on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet.
Depreciation
Property,
plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as
incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When
assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in
income in the year of disposition.
Depreciation
is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets. The lives applied are as follows:
Office equipment | 3-5 Years | |
Vehicles | 7 Years | |
Manufacturing equipment | 5-10 Years |
Foreign Currency
Translation
The
functional currency for foreign operations is the Moldova lei
("MDL$"). Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated
at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and income, expense and cash flow
items are translated at the average exchange rate for the applicable
period. Translation adjustments are recorded in Cumulative Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Conversion of assets and liabilities from MDL$ into US$ has been made at the rate of exchange on September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008: at US$1.00: MDL 11.50: and US$1.00: MDL 10.40.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC
605, (Revenue Recognition) ("ASC 605").
Revenue
from advertisement sales is recognized on a contract basis and is earned over
the life of the contract as the services for advertising are
performed.
The
Company provides allowances for expected doubtful accounts based upon historical
bad debt experience and periodic evaluations of specific customer
accounts.
Goodwill
The
Company tested goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2008
following its recent acquisition, using a fair value approach at the reporting
unit level. The Company will test for impairment annually during the
fourth quarter. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level
below an operating segment for which discreet financial information is available
and reviewed by management. Assets and liabilities of the Company
have been assigned to the reporting units to the extent that they are employed
in or are considered a liability related to the operations of the reporting unit
and were considered in determining the fair value of the reporting
unit.
Evaluation of Long-lived
Assets
The
Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable in
accordance with guidance in FASB ASC 360-15-35, “Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets” ("ASC 360-15-35"). If the carrying value of the
long-lived assets exceeds the present value of the related estimated future cash
flows, the asset would be adjusted to its fair value and an impairment loss
would be charged to operations in the period identified.
Income
Taxes
Taxes are
calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the
Republic of Moldova and the United States of America.
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach under
which deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted tax rates
applicable to future years to the differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis of reported assets and
liabilities.
For that
portion of foreign earnings that have not been repatriated, an income tax
provision has not been recorded for U.S. federal income taxes on undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries as such earnings are intended to be permanently
reinvested in these operations. Such earnings would become taxable
upon the sale or liquidation of these foreign subsidiaries or upon repatriation
of earnings.
Effective
January 1, 2007, uncertain tax positions are accounted for in accordance with
FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes” ("ASC 740"). See Note 12 for
further discussion.

Concentration of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.
The
Company's cash and cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in four banks in
Moldova. At times, such deposits could be in excess of insured
limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold
the Company’s financial instruments are financially sound and, accordingly,
minimal credit risk is believed to exist with respect to these financial
instruments.
Accounts
receivable are reviewed daily and credit is given after the review of the
Company’s credit policies. Exposure to losses on receivables is
principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition.
Retransmission
Rights
The
Company enters into agreements for the right to retransmit programs from other
television networks. The terms of the agreements are on an annual
basis and the costs are expensed as a part of cost of sales over the life of the
agreements.
Earnings Per
Share
Basic
earnings per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing
net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares and potential
common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares
used in computing diluted earnings per share relate to preferred stock which if
exercised would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. For the
nine and three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, there were 1,000,000
potential common shares outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC
820”) on January 1, 2008, for all financial assets and liabilities that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial
statements on a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting
period. While the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 for nonfinancial
assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis, no such assets or liabilities existed
at the balance sheet date. As permitted by ASC 820, the Company delayed
implementation of this standard for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
nonrecurring basis and adopted these provisions effective January 1,
2009.
The fair
value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market
data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair
value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair
value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable
inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or
indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs about which
little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its
own assumptions.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company held certain financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities. The fair values of the cash and cash equivalents is determined based on quoted market prices in public markets and is categorized as Level 1. The investment in marketable securities is determined by the Company based on market prices other than quoted prices in active markets and is categorized as Level 2. These are also categorized as held-to-maturity securities.

Reclassification
Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company completed its implementation of FASB ASC 810
"Consolidation" ("ASC 810"),. As a result of adopting ASC 810, prior
years balances were reclassified to confirm to current
presentation.
New Financial Accounting
Standards
Updates to the FASB
Codification Applicable to the Company
During
the second quarter of 2009, the Company implemented additional interim
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, as required by FASB ASC
Paragraph 825-10-65-1. Prior to implementation, disclosures about
fair values of financial instruments were only required to be disclosed
annually. As the required modifications only related to additional
disclosures of fair values of financial instruments in interim financial
statements, the adoption did not affect the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
Beginning
in the second quarter of 2009, the Company must disclose the date through which
subsequent events have been evaluated, in accordance with the requirements in
FASB ASC Paragraph 855-10-50-1. With regards to the condensed

contained in this Form 10-Q, the Company has evaluated all subsequent events
through November 9, 2009 (the date the Company’s financial statement are

In
September 2009, the FASB implemented certain modifications to FASB ASC Topic
860, Transfers and Servicing, as a means to improve the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a
reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets, the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows, and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any,
in transferred financial assets. These modifications must be applied as of the
beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
standard to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.
During
the third quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”
(the “Codification”). The Codification has become the source of
authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by
the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive
releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Effective with the Company’s adoption on
July 1, 2009, the Codification has superseded all prior non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature
not included in the Codification has become non-authoritative. As the adoption
of the Codification only affected how specific references to GAAP literature
have been disclosed in the notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements, it did not result in any impact on the Company’s results
of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
The FASB
has published FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820)—Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset
Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This Update amends Subtopic 820-10,
Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures—Overall, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair
value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of
the investment (or its equivalent). This Update also requires new disclosures,
by major category of investments, about the attributes of investments included
within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this
Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15,
2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an
impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash
flows.

ACQUISITIONS
On May 2,
2008, the Company acquired the common stock of Media Top Prim S.R.L. (LLC)
(“Media Top Prim”), located in Moldova, for 1 million shares of the Company’s
preferred stock of a class and series to be authorized, valued at $4.0
million. The preferred shares are convertible into common shares on a
1:1 basis after a holding period of one year on the condition the Company’s
stock price will not be less than $4 per share. Media Top Prim’s
primary activities are in radio and television broadcasting. Media
Top Prim earns its revenues primarily through advertisement
sales. Media Top Prim was granted a broadcasting license on April 24,
2007 which extends to April 24, 2013. The purchase price was
allocated to both tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on
estimated fair values after considering an independent formal
appraisal.
The
acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and
accordingly, the results of operations of Media Top Prim are included in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements from May 2, 2008.

venture.
The joint
venture has been funded through the initial share capital from each of the
investors. If additional capital is needed, the joint venture will
raise the additional capital from contributions in share capital or loans from
the shareholders. If one shareholder does not want to fund the joint
venture, it is not obligated to invest the money.
The joint
venture shall make annual distributions to the joint venture
partners. The distribution is up to the discretion of the general
manager of the joint venture within 30 days following the end of the fiscal

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price and related acquisition costs over

lives acquired in a business acquisition. Effective January 1, 2009,
acquisition related costs will be recognized separately from the acquisition in
accordance with FASB ASC 805 "Business Combination" ("FASB ASC

Other
intangibles include the value assigned to the license purchased as part of the
acquisition. Amounts assigned to these intangibles were determined by
management. Management considered a number of factors in determining
the allocations, including valuations and independent
appraisals. Other intangibles are being amortized over 7 years, the
life of the license. Amortization expense was $42,612 and $-0-, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Nonfinancial
assets and liabilities, such as goodwill and long-lived assets, are accounted
for at fair value on a non recurring basis. These items are tested
for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event or in the case of
goodwill, on at least an annual basis.
For the
annual goodwill impairment assessment performed in 2008, the Company’s fair
value analysis was supported by a weighting of two generally accepted valuation
approaches, including the income approach and the market approach, as further
described below. These approaches include numerous assumptions with
respect to future circumstances, such as industry and/or local market conditions
that might directly impact operations in the future, and are therefore
uncertain. These approaches are utilized to develop a range of fair
values and a weighted average of these approaches is utilized to determine the
best fair value estimate within that range.
The
income approach is based on a projection of discounted cash flows prepared by
Company management. The following range of assumptions was utilized
in calculating the Company’s future cash flow projection:
·
|
Revenue
growth rates from 0% to 25%
|
·
|
Weighted
average cost of capital of 11.0% to
13.3%
|
The
market approach applies multiples of guideline companies to certain of the
Company’s value measures (earnings before interest and taxes and debt-free cash
flow, for example). A control premium ranging from 27.5% - 31.7% was
factored into the calculation.
Once the
fair value was determined under each valuation method, the Company established
the weight of each valuation method. As management’s projections
provided for the discounted cash flow analysis are believed to be more
indicative of the Company’s future performance, the income approach was weighted
at 75%. The guideline company approach relies on the market and given
the present state of the economy with significant market fluctuations, the
Company believes the discounted cash flow projections are a more reliable
base. As a result, the market approach was weighted at
25%.
The
annual impairment test related to the Company's goodwill was performed during
the fourth quarter of 2008.

The loss for 2008 exceeds the capital of the third party. Losses are only allocable to the extent of capital. Any excess losses are absorbed by the Company. In future periods, net income will be allocated to previous unallocated losses before being allocated to third party interests.
12.
INCOME TAXES
The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 on January 1, 2007. As a
result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company recognized no adjustment in
the net liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. The Company
believes there are no potential uncertain tax positions and all tax returns are
correct as filed. Should the Company recognize a liability for
uncertain tax positions, the Company will separately recognize the liability for
uncertain tax positions on its balance sheet. Included in any
liability for uncertain tax positions, the Company will also setup a liability
for interest and penalties. The Company’s policy is to recognize
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the
current provision for income taxes.
The
nominal statutory corporate rate in the Republic of Moldova is 0% for 2009 and
2008. Taxes are calculated in accordance with Moldovan
regulations and are paid annually. Taxes are calculated on a
separate entity basis since consolidation for tax purposes is not permitted in
Moldova. There is no U.S. tax provision due to losses during both
2009 and 2008. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary
differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company's
assets and liabilities. The principal item giving rise to deferred taxes is the
net operating loss carryforward in the U.S. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized. The Company has set up a valuation allowance for
losses for certain carryforwards that it believes may not be
realized.

respectively.
b) The
Company entered into a retransmission rights agreement with Russian Broadcasting
Channel JSC “TNT-Teleset” owned by Gazprom Media, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
GazProm Corporation (a related party to Alkasar Region LLC, a 50% investor in
Alkasar Media Services S.R.L.) to retransmit programs from this television
network. The contract is on a long term basis through 2012 and the Company will
pay $142,400 per year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
the Company expensed $118,667 and $106,800, respectively.
c) On
June 17, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Way Media, LTD
(“Way Media”), a Romanian company. Way Media is one of the top five
Romanian outdoor advertising companies with a developed network in more than 22
cities. Way Media offers the planning and production of high quality
outdoor advertising strategies, as well as installation and maintenance
throughout the country of Romania.
The
Company paid a deposit against the purchase price of approximately
$254,000. The acquisition was terminated during 2008 due to the
recent global financial crisis that has affected the outdoor advertising market
in Romania. The Company transferred the deposit to IPA and released
the Romanian company from the obligation. See Note 6 for further
information.
16.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On
October 1, 2009, the Company closed an acquisition of 60% of the outstanding
shares of SC Genesis International S.A. ("Genesis") owned by IPA International
Project Establishment. The consideration paid by the Company for the
acquisition of Genesis was $4,800,000.
Genesis,
a joint stock company incorporated under the laws of Romania, has as its
principal business, the construction of roads and highways. Other
secondary activities include surface and underground railway construction, other
special construction projects, relocation services and merchandise
transportation.
The fair
value of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interests in Genesis will be measured as of the date of
acquisition. The measurement period is the period after the
acquisition date during which time the Company may adjust the provisional
amounts recognized for the business combination. Goodwill will be
recognized as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over
the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed. The Company will account for acquisition-related costs as
expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are
received.

within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks
and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including our ability to create, sustain, manage or forecast our

Emerging Media Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and, unless the context
indicates otherwise, includes our subsidiaries.
Recent
Developments
On

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, certain accounting
policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of the
our financial position and results of operations and require the application of
significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes
from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside the
control of management. As a result they are subject to an inherent
degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their
judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the
determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical
operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms
of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information
provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources,
as appropriate.
The
Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated
financial statements.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the
inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company
determines its reserves by both specific identification of customer accounts
where appropriate and the application of historical loss experience to
non-specific accounts. If the financial condition of the Company’s
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to
make payments, additional allowances could possibly be required.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC 605,
“Revenue Recognition”. Revenue from advertisement sales is recognized on a
contract basis and is earned over the life of the contract as the services for
advertising are performed.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under FASB ASC 740, “Income
Taxes”. In accordance with FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases, as measured by enacted tax rates
that are expected to be in effect in the periods when the deferred tax assets
and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. Significant
judgment is required in determining the worldwide provisions for income
taxes. In the ordinary course of a global business, the ultimate tax
outcome is uncertain for many transactions. It is the Company’s
policy to establish provisions for taxes that may become payable in future years
as a result of an examination by tax authorities. The Company
establishes the provisions based upon management’s assessment of exposure
associated with permanent tax differences and tax credits applied to temporary
difference adjustments. The tax provisions are analyzed periodically
(at least quarterly) and adjustments are made as events occur that warrant
adjustments to those provisions.
Foreign currency
accounting
The
financial position and results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries in the
Republic of Moldova are measured using the foreign subsidiaries’ local currency,
the Moldovan lei, as the functional currency since that is the currency of the
primary environment in which those companies generate their revenues and
expenses. Revenues and expenses of such subsidiaries are translated
into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets
and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet
date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly
as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The amount of future
translation gains or losses will be affected by any changes in the exchange rate
between the lei and the U.S. dollar.
22
Although
our Moldovan subsidiaries incur most of their expenses in the lei, many of their
sales are to customers outside of Moldova and are therefore denominated in
currencies other than the lei (principally the U.S.
dollar). Additionally, our Moldova subsidiaries have certain bank
loans that are denominated in U.S. dollars, and make certain purchases that are
denominated in U.S. dollars. As required by FASB ASC 830, “Foreign
Currency Matters”, at the time of such a U.S dollar denominated transaction the
subsidiary records the revenue and related receivable, or the bank debt or other
liability, in lei on the basis of the exchange rate in effect on the date of the
transaction. However, if the exchange rate between the lei and the
currency in which the transaction is denominated changes between the date of the
original transaction and the date the resulting receivable is collected or
liability is paid, the amount received or paid, when converted to lei, will be
different than the receivable or liability originally recorded, resulting in a
foreign currency transaction gain or loss which is recorded in the results of
operations. Additionally, at the end of each reporting period the lei
amounts for the receivables, bank debts and accounts payable of our Moldova
subsidiaries that are denominated in U.S. dollars are adjusted to reflect the
amount in lei expected to be received or paid when the receivable is collected
or the liability settled on the basis of the exchange rate at the end of the
period. These adjustments also produce foreign currency transaction gains or
losses which are recorded in the results of operations.
As a
result, in periods in which the value of the lei increases against the value of
the U.S. dollar, we will recognize a net foreign currency transaction gain if
our Moldova subsidiaries have U.S. dollar denominated liabilities that exceed
their U.S. dollar denominated receivables, or we will incur a net foreign
currency transaction loss if our Moldova subsidiaries have U.S. dollar
denominated receivables that exceed their U.S. dollar denominated liabilities.
Conversely, in periods in which the value of the lei declines against the value
of the U.S. dollar, we will incur a net foreign currency transaction loss if our
Moldova subsidiaries have U.S. dollar denominated liabilities that exceed their
U.S. dollar denominated receivables, or we will recognize a net foreign currency
transaction gain if our Moldova subsidiaries have U.S. dollar denominated
receivables that exceed their U.S. dollar denominated liabilities.
The
amount of these gains or losses will depend on the amount, if any, by which the
U.S. dollar denominated receivables of our Moldova subsidiaries exceed their
U.S. dollar denominated liabilities, or vice versa, and the amount, if any, by
which the value of the lei changes against the value of the U.S. dollar. We
cannot predict the amount, if any, by which the lei will increase or decrease in
value against the U.S. dollar. Additionally, the amount of the U.S. dollar
denominated receivables and liabilities of our Moldova subsidiaries will vary
from period to period.
Results
of Operations
In 2008,
the growth in the commercial market share was a result of the acquisition of the
TNT channel and updated marketing strategies. TV7(NTV) and TNT channels together
represented a commercial market share of 28.5% for the capital of Moldova and
25.6% of the commercial quota for the Republic of Moldova as a
whole.
Nine
Months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the Nine Months ended September 30,
2008.
23
REVENUES.
Revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, increased by
$338,814 or 24.08% to $1,745,928 as compared to $1,407,114 during the comparable
period of 2008. Overall growth was a result of the acquisition of the Media Top
Prim group of companies and creation of a new joint venture, Alkasar Media
Services advertising agency.
COST OF
SALES. Cost of sales increased by $205,886 or 24,14% to $1,058,680 for the nine
month period ending September 30, 2009, from $852,794 for the comparable period
in 2008. This increase was primarily due to increased sales in 2009. The Company
also incurred increased payroll costs at TV7 and an increase in retransmission
fees related to TNT television channel.
SELLING
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses
increased by $230,885 or 33.69% to $685,334 for the nine month period ending
September 30, 2009 from $454,449 for the comparable period in
2008. This increase was due to the significant increase in payroll
expenses, and initial and marketing expenses for the newly acquired TV channel
and newly created advertising agency.
OTHER
ITEMS. Other income increased by $171,651,comparing to $192,658 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2009 to $21,007 for the comparable period in
2008, primarily due to an increase in interest income.
Other
operating expenses increased by $41,129, or 92.68%, comparing to
$85,505 for the nine month period ended September
30, 2009 to $44,376 for the comparable period in 2008, primarily due to an
increase in rent expenses for new offices.
INCOME
TAXES. Income taxes were not provided for the periods ended September 30, 2009
and September 30, 2008 as the Moldovan tax rate was 0% for the two
periods.
Three
Months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the Three Months ended September 30,
2008.
REVENUES.
Revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, decreased by
$234,002 or 30.72 % to $527,723 as compared to $761,725 during the comparable
period of 2008. The decrease was a result of the seasonable low advertising
sales period and world media market crisis affected the Moldavian
market.
COST OF
SALES. Cost of sales decreased by $72,989 or 15.23% to $406,269 for the three
month period ending September 30, 2009, from $479,258 for the comparable period
in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to decreased sales in
2009.
SELLING
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses
decreased by $61,241 or 24.49% to $188,847 for the three month period ending
September 30, 2009 from $250,088 for the comparable period in
2008. This decrease was due to the significant decrease in payroll
expenses and marketing expenses.
OTHER
ITEMS. Other income increased by $74,087, comparing $81,933 for the three month
period ended September 30, 2009 to $7,846 for the comparable period in 2008,
primarily due to an increase in interest income.
Other
operating expenses increased by $20,101, comparing $32,330 for the three month
period ended September 30, 2009 to $12,229 for the comparable period in 2008,
primarily due to an increase in rent expenses for new offices.
INCOME
TAXES. Income taxes were not provided for the periods ended September 30, 2009
and September 30, 2008 as the Moldovan tax rate was 0% for the two
periods.
24
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During
2009, the Company’s main strategic goal is to expand the business in neighboring
East European countries, primarily Romania, Ukraine and Russia.
The
Company can grow using its internally-generated funds, and it is anticipated
that the current projections can be achieved without any external capital
infusion. However, since Moldovan as well as Ukrainian and Romanian
Television markets are still in their development stages with the overall growth
rate well above comparable growth rates in the “matured” markets, there are
small/medium-sized companies that are severely undercapitalized, and thus
operate with a high degree of inefficiency. With the additional
capital, the Company can implement two core strategies:
-
|
Increase
shareholders’ value by capitalizing on private-to-public arbitrage
opportunities and purchasing “revenues” via acquisitions of private
undercapitalized businesses and applying economies of
scale.
|
-
|
Increase
Shareholders’ value by growing the Company’s core business internally by
investing in its own equipment and production, thus increasing production
capacity and competitiveness.
|
We
believe that both strategies could significantly accelerate the Company’s
internal growth, while improving its operating cash flow. We intend
to purchase operating businesses by spending on average $1 of capital for $1 of
revenues of acquired operating business, thus, in effect purchasing operating
business (after the application of the economies of scale arbitrage) at an
approximate P/E ratio of 4. There is no assurance that we will be
able successfully to make any such acquisition or acquisitions.
A portion
of the existing long-term and short-term investments will be used to fund
operations over the next six months. The balance of any excess cash balances
will be reinvested on a short-term basis. The market value of long-term
investments did not change as the investments were fixed yield bonds with a
fixed price and fixed interest rate. There is no secondary market for the fixed
yield bonds in the Republic of Moldova, thus the face value of the investments
must match the market value at all times.
The
Company plans to acquire equipment to produce the broadcast programs (for
studios, for breaking news mobile systems, etc); as such, this acquisition and
the uplink services might present significant impact on our liquidity and
capital resources of the company. The Company believes the cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to fund the purchases of this
equipment.
On May 2,
2008, the Company acquired the common stock of “TNT-Bravo” channel (Media Top
Prim S.R.L.), the exclusive operator in Moldova of Russian channel TNT programs
owned by Gazprom Media, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the GazProm
Corporation. The acquisition was agreed to be made in the Company’s
preferred stock, of a class and series to be authorized, valued at $4.0
million. The preferred shares
issuable would convertible into common shares on a 1:1 basis after a holding
period of one year on the condition the Company’s stock price was not be less
than $4 per share. The Company and the preferred shareholders are
currently in negotiations as the common share price is less than
$4. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting, and accordingly, the results of operations of Media Top
Prim S.R.L. are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from
May 2, 2008.
On May 2,
2008, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with a private investor
for an equity investment of $5,000,000 in the Company through the purchase by
the investor of 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The
net proceeds of the private placement were primarily used to fund the
Company’s operations, including the acquisition of Genesis.
25
In
November 2008, the Company loaned IPA International Project Establishment, a
Lichtenstein Corporation (“IPA”). The Company advanced IPA
$3,840,000. The loan has been extended to October 2009 with interest
of 5% annum payable at maturity.
In June
2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Genesis International
SA. The Company advanced Genesis International SA
$500,000. The loan was due upon demand with interest at 5% per annum,
and was paid back in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Genesis on
October 1, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the
Company received interest income of approximately $19,000.
During
the first nine months of 2009, the Company has funded its capital requirements
primarily through operating activities. As of September 30, 2009 the
Company had a cash balance of $565,555. This compares with a cash balance of
$1,334,738 at December 31, 2008. The Company expects cash flow from operations
to fund the Company’s operating activities for the next twelve
months. The proceeds of $5 million from the 2008 private placement
will enable the Company to expand its present activities.
The
Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $5.9 million and a
stockholders’ equity of approximately $9.9 million as of September 30,
2009. Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $769,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease is primarily
attributable to the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $84,000,
purchase of marketable securities of $80,000, the repayment of a related party
loan of $47,000 and an advance on a note receivable of $500,000.
Accounts
receivable, net of allowances, were $366,000 at September 30, 2009, as compared
to $263,000 at December 31, 2008. The increase is primarily due to
increased sales during the nine months ended September 30,
2009. Property, plant and equipment, net, were $135,000 at September
30, 2009, as compared to $109,000 at December 31, 2008, principally due to the
purchase of $84,000 of property, plant and equipment during the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. Accounts payable were $291,000 at September
30, 2009, as compared to $268,000 at December 31, 2008. The increase
is primarily due to additional expenses during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.

New
Financial Accounting Standards
During
the second quarter of 2009, the Company implemented additional interim
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, as required by FASB ASC
Paragraph 825-10-65-1. Prior to implementation, disclosures about
fair values of financial instruments were only required to be disclosed
annually. As the required modifications only related to additional
disclosures of fair values of financial instruments in interim financial
statements, the adoption did not affect the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
Beginning
in the second quarter of 2009, the Company must disclose the date through which
subsequent events have been evaluated, in accordance with the requirements in
FASB ASC Paragraph 855-10-50-1. With regards to the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements
contained in this Form 10-Q, the Company has evaluated all subsequent events
through November 9, 2009 (the date the Company’s financial statement are
issued).
26
In
September 2009, the FASB implemented certain modifications to FASB ASC Topic
860, Transfers and Servicing, as a means to improve the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a
reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets, the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows, and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any,
in transferred financial assets. These modifications must be applied as of the
beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
standard to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial
condition or cash flows.
During
the third quarter of 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”
(the “Codification”). The Codification has become the source of
authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by
the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive
releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Effective with the Company’s adoption on
July 1, 2009, the Codification has superseded all prior non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature
not included in the Codification has become non-authoritative. As the adoption
of the Codification only affected how specific references to GAAP literature
have been disclosed in the notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements, it did not result in any impact on the Company’s results
of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
The FASB
has published FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820)—Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset
Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This Update amends Subtopic 820-10,
Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures—Overall, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair
value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of
the investment (or its equivalent). This Update also requires new disclosures,
by major category of investments, about the attributes of investments included
within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this
Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15,
2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an
impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash
flows.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Foreign
Currency Risk - The financial position and results of operations of our foreign
subsidiaries in the Republic of Moldova are measured using the foreign
subsidiaries’ local currency, the Moldovan lei, as the functional currency since
that is the currency of the primary environment in which those companies
generate their revenues and expenses. Revenues and expenses of such
subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates
prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates
of exchange on the balance sheet date. The amount of future translation gains or
losses will be affected by any changes in the exchange rate between the lei and
the U.S. dollar. At the end of each reporting period the lei amounts for the
receivables, bank debts and accounts payable of our Moldova subsidiaries that
are denominated in U.S. dollars are adjusted to reflect the amount in lei
expected to be received or paid when the receivable is collected or the
liability settled on the basis of the exchange rate at the end of the period.
These adjustments also produce foreign currency transaction gains or losses
which are recorded in the results of operations.
27
As a
result, in periods in which the value of the lei increases against the value of
the U.S. dollar, we will recognize a net foreign currency transaction gain if
our Moldova subsidiaries have U.S. dollar denominated liabilities that exceed
their U.S. dollar denominated receivables, or we will incur a net foreign
currency transaction loss if our Moldova subsidiaries have U.S. dollar
denominated receivables that exceed their U.S. dollar denominated liabilities.
Conversely, in periods in which the value of the lei declines against the value
of the U.S. dollar, we will incur a net foreign currency transaction loss if our
Moldova subsidiaries have U.S. dollar denominated liabilities that exceed their
U.S. dollar denominated receivables, or we will recognize a net foreign currency
transaction gain if our Moldova subsidiaries have U.S. dollar denominated
receivables that exceed their U.S. dollar denominated liabilities.
Credit
Risk - Our accounts receivables are subject, in the normal course of business,
to collection risks. We regularly assess these risks and have established
policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of
collection risks. As a result we do not anticipate any material losses in this
area.
ITEM
4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of
September 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the
Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Certifying
Officer”) conducted an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures. As defined under Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term
“disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an
issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s
management, including the Certifying Officer, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officer
has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were
effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply
with the Company’s disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act, and the rules
and regulations promulgated there under.
Further,
there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
during the second fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.
