GLOBAL TRAFFIC NETWORK, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share amounts unless noted)
Information as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the three and nine months ended March 31,
2011 and 2010 is unaudited
NOTE 1 — Description of the Company’s Business
     Global Traffic Network, Inc. (the “Company”) provides traffic and news information reports to radio and television stations in international markets. The Company provides traffic information reports to radio and television stations in Australia and Canada and traffic information reports to radio stations in the United Kingdom, provides news and information reports to radio stations in Canada, entertainment news reports to radio stations in the United Kingdom and has an inventory of commercial advertising embedded in radio news reports in Australia. The Company derives a substantial majority of its revenues from the sale of commercial advertising embedded within these information reports. The Company obtains this advertising inventory from radio and television stations in exchange for providing stations with information reports and/or cash compensation. The Company also derives revenues from providing traffic related reporting services to government agencies in the United Kingdom.
NOTE 2 — Basis of Presentation
     The consolidated financial statements consist of the Company and its four wholly owned subsidiaries, The Australia Traffic Network Pty Limited (“ATN”), Global Traffic Canada, Inc. (“GTC”) including its wholly owned subsidiary Canadian Traffic Network ULC (“CTN”), Global Traffic Network (UK) Limited (“UKTN”) including its wholly owned subsidiary Global Traffic Network (UK) Commercial Limited (“UK-Commercial”) and Global Alert Network, Inc. (“GAN”). Effective October 12, 2010, GAN changed its name from Mobile Traffic Network, Inc. (“MTN”). GTC is a holding company and had no assets or liabilities other than its ownership of CTN at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010. Because the financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, all material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. All adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2011 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full fiscal year.
     Although ATN’s functional currency is Australian dollars, CTN’s functional currency is Canadian dollars and UKTN and UK-Commercial’s functional currency is British pounds, for reporting purposes the Company’s financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The financial statements have been translated into United States dollars in accordance with FASB Statement No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (“SFAS 52”). Effective July 1, 2009, the provisions of SFAS 52 were incorporated in the Codification under FASB ASC 830. Income statement amounts are translated from Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, or British pounds to United States dollars based on the average exchange rate for each quarterly period. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rate as of the applicable balance sheet date. Equity contributions are translated based on the exchange rate at the time of the applicable investment. Foreign currency translation adjustments upon translation of the Company’s financial statements to United States dollars are recognized as other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses resulting from currency translation adjustments are recognized in the accompanying statements of income as other expense (income).
     These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 15, 2010. Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
     Subsequent events have been evaluated up to the date on which these financial statements were filed.
NOTE 3 — Earnings per Share
     Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all additional common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, when dilutive. For the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, there were common equivalent shares outstanding due to outstanding stock options of 1,111,998 and 1,158,400, respectively, restricted common shares of 307,719 and 248,329, respectively, and warrants issued to the underwriter of the Company’s IPO to purchase common shares of 0 and 380,000, respectively. The warrants, which had a strike price of $6.00 and an expiration date of March 23, 2011, were outstanding for part of the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and are therefore part of the common stock equivalents for the period ended March 31, 2011. All 380,000 warrants were exercised (both for cash and pursuant to the cashless exercise option) and resulted in an additional 335,879 common shares being issued as well as $1,791 additional net cash proceeds after costs to the Company.

     For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, 680,000 stock options with exercise prices between and $5.00 and $8.70 were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding because they were anti-dilutive. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2010, 793,400 stock options with exercise prices between $4.66 and $8.70 were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding because they were anti-dilutive. For the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2010 there were no common stock equivalents due to restricted stock although restricted stock was not anti-dilutive for the periods. This is due to the treasury method calculation which yielded no common stock equivalents because of the level of unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2010 and the average share prices for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010. For the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2010, 380,000 warrants with an exercise price of $6.00 were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding because they were anti-dilutive. Due to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011, all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding.
     Since March 31, 2011, 78,334 additional stock options have been exercised (both for cash and in a cashless manner) resulting in $31 of proceeds to the Company and the issuance of 39,321 additional common shares.

NOTE 4 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU 2010-28”) which amends FASB ASC Topic 350 (Intangibles — Goodwill and Other) to modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to require performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years and the interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company intends to adopt the provisions of ASU 2010-28 effective July 1, 2011 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 5 — Concentration of Credit Risk
     The Company maintains cash balances with what management believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. Balances have exceeded and continue to exceed those amounts insured and the majority of the Company’s cash is maintained in instruments not subject to FDIC or other insurance. In addition, a substantial majority of the Company’s cash balances is held in two financial institutions located in Australia. Furthermore, a majority of the Company’s cash is maintained in foreign currencies, which is also subject to currency exchange rate fluctuation risk.
                 
    March 31,     June 30,

NOTE 8 — Income Taxes
     Tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $4,163 and $3,122, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 46.0% and 92.0%, respectively. The rates differ from the United States federal statutory rate of approximately 35% primarily due to the Company’s Australian operations reporting a taxable profit and tax expense while the Company’s Canadian operations generate a net loss without recording an income tax benefit.
     Although UK-Commercial is profitable on a tax basis, the Company’s United Kingdom operations are unable to utilize the group relief provision of the United Kingdom tax code until UK-Commercial’s net operating loss carry forwards have been exhausted. The valuation allowance for the period ending March 31, 2011 was reduced due to the use of previously valued deferred tax assets of $1,654 pertaining primarily to ATN net income that was recognized by Global Traffic Network, Inc. (the unconsolidated parent) (“GTN”) during the period, which was partially offset by $1,469 of additions to the valuation allowance primarily for net operating losses of CTN as well as certain other deferred tax assets. Prior to July 1, 2009, the Company considered all earnings of ATN to be indefinitely reinvested abroad and therefore did not recognize a deferred tax liability with regards to the undistributed earnings of ATN. As a result of the change in permanent investment status, GTN has recognized deferred tax liabilities of $14,879 for undistributed earnings and profits of ATN to date which are partially offset by foreign tax credit deferred tax assets of $11,440.

     The Company realized a tax benefit of $551 due to a reduction of the deferred tax liability that was established due to the acquisition of Unique. The initial amount of this tax liability was $4,342 and the current carrying value is $3,304 (the balance has decreased less than the cumulative tax benefit realized due to increases in currency exchange rates). The Company has not recorded any other tax benefit for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 because the Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of the Company’s net deferred tax assets for GTN/MTN and CTN, as well as certain deferred tax assets of UKTN at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the tax deductions in future tax returns. This valuation allowance will be reduced to the extent the Company determines that the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. The Company had tax carried forward losses (prior to the valuation allowance) of $5,538 and $5,292 as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, all of the tax carried forward losses related to the Company’s foreign operations. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $1,252 associated with the net operating losses of Unique which the Company acquired March 1, 2009. The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset since it believes it is more likely than not that it will be able to utilize these net operating losses against future taxable income of UK-Commercial. The deferred tax asset related to the UK-Commercial net operating losses was $265 as of March 31, 2011 and the Company recognized $641 of non-cash income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 due to the utilization of this asset. The Company will continue to assess this position and, if necessary, establish a valuation allowance in order that the net carrying value of the deferred tax asset approximates its net realizable value. UK-Commercial has generated taxable income since its acquisition date.

NOTE 9 — Commitments
     The Company has various non-cancelable, long-term operating leases for its facilities and office equipment. The facility leases have escalation clauses and provisions for payment of taxes, insurance, maintenance and repair expenses. Total rent expense under these leases is recognized ratably over the lease terms. Future minimum payments, by year and in the aggregate, under such non-cancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more, consists of the following as of March 31, 2011:

     Total rent expense charged to expenses in the accompanying statements of income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $329, $296, $940 and $916, respectively. Rent expense on an annualized basis exceeds rental commitments primarily due to many of the Company’s operations and hangar arrangements being short term in nature.
     The Company generally enters into multi-year contracts with radio and television stations. These contracts require the Company to provide various levels of service (including, but not limited to providing professional broadcasters, gathering information, communications and aviation services) and, in some cases, cash compensation or reimbursement of expenses. Station compensation and reimbursement is a component of operating expense and is recognized over the term of the applicable contracts, which is not materially different than when the services are performed.

NOTE 10 — Stock based compensation
     The Company maintains an Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which 2,400,000 shares are authorized for issuance. Adoption of the Plan and all amendments thereto have been approved by the Company’s stockholders, including an amendment on December 15, 2010 to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan from 1,800,000 to 2,400,000. Stock options and restricted stock that are issued, outstanding or available for future issuance under the Plan are summarized below:

     Based on the following assumptions, the fair value with regards to all options issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2011 is $3,334. As of March 31, 2011, there was $902 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation under the Plan. The cost of the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. This expense assumes that there will be no forfeitures, and this assumption is based on the positions of the option recipients within the Company and the low number of past forfeitures. Since the Plan was adopted, the largest previous forfeitures were due to outside directors becoming employees of the Company. In such instances, the forfeited director stock options were simultaneously replaced with a like number of employee stock options. Stock option expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $412 and $559, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. There is no income tax benefit reflected in the accompanying income statements because a valuation allowance has been created for the net deferred tax assets of GTN as of March 31, 2011.
     The total fair value of options vesting during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $446 and $468, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1,114 and $0, respectively.
     Restricted Stock
     The Company has awarded restricted shares of its common stock under the Plan to certain employees and directors. The awards, which are comprised of shares of common stock that are subject to transfer and forfeiture restrictions, have restriction periods tied solely to continued employment or service on the Company’s board of directors and vest over three years. The value of these restricted stock awards is calculated at the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, net of estimated forfeitures, and is expensed pro rata over the vesting period.
     The following table summarizes the restricted stock activity for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011:

     As of March 31, 2011, there was $2,189 of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock grants. The unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. Total compensation expense with regards to restricted stock for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $621 and $390, respectively and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

     Non-cash stock based compensation is not allocated to the operating subsidiaries and is a component of the All Other segment above. Non-cash stock based compensation expense was $358, $316, $1,033 and $949 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
     Effective February 2011, the Company converted a majority of the intercompany advance to UKTN to an equity investment, which significantly reduced the UK segment liabilities. There was no impact on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as the advance/equity eliminates in consolidation. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company commenced charging a management fee to UKTN. The amount of the management fee was $90 for the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2011.
     The Company offers four primary products in the markets in which it operates. The products consist of radio traffic advertising commercials, radio news advertising commercials, television advertising commercials and government services relating to traffic. Not all products are offered in all markets or in all periods covered by the financial statements. These products are not operated as separate segments but are the responsibility of the regional management of the various segments outlined above. All revenues are generated from external clients.

NOTE 12 — Change in Accounting Estimate
     Effective March 1, 2010, the Company changed its estimate of the useful lives of helicopters owned by CTN from eight years to six years and the lives of CTN helicopter engine rebuilds from three years to two years. This change was implemented because the Company determined that the annual flight hours are more than originally anticipated. The life of a helicopter is based upon a blend of the life of the engine, which is approximately 2,200 flight hours, and the life of the airframe. The Company does not anticipate getting less use from the helicopters due to this change in useful life. Also, ATN helicopters were unaffected by this change in useful life as their annual flight hours have been in line with expectations. This change had the effect of increasing depreciation expense $152 and $444, reducing net operating income and net income $152 and $444 and reducing both basic and diluted earnings per share $0.01 and $0.02 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011. For the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2010, this change had the effect of increasing depreciation expense $48, reducing net operating income and net income $48, and had no impact on basic or diluted earnings per share.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Executive Overview
     We provide traffic and news information reports to radio and television stations in international markets. We are the largest provider of traffic information reports to radio stations in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom and we provide traffic information reports to television stations in Australia and Canada. We also provide news information reports to radio stations in Canada, entertainment news reports to radio stations in the United Kingdom and we believe that we maintain the largest inventory of commercial advertising embedded in radio news reports in Australia. We derive a substantial majority of our revenues from the sale to advertisers of commercial advertising inventory associated with these information reports. We obtain this advertising inventory from radio and television stations in exchange for providing stations with information reports and/or, for certain broadcasters, cash compensation. Although we are a Nevada corporation with principal executive offices located in New York, New York, we do not provide, nor do we currently intend to provide traffic or news reports to radio or television stations in the United States. However, we do offer our mobile phone traffic products to radio and television stations in the United States.
     Our operations are conducted through the following wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries:
    The Australia Traffic Network Pty Limited (“Australia Traffic Network”);
 
    Canadian Traffic Network ULC (“Canadian Traffic Network”);
 
    Global Traffic Network (UK) Limited and Global Traffic Network (UK) Commercial Limited (“UK Traffic Network” and “UK Commercial Traffic Network,” respectively); and
 
    Global Alert Network, Inc. (“Global Alert Network”), formerly named Mobile Traffic Network, Inc. (“Mobile Traffic Network”).
     Global Traffic Network, Inc. is a holding company and conducts no operations. Unless we indicate otherwise, the discussions below regarding our financial condition and results of operations present information on a consolidated basis and all material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The Services We Provide — Radio Traffic Reports, Radio News Reports and TV Reports.
     The information reports we provide to radio and television stations are divided into three categories, radio traffic reports, radio news reports and TV reports, based on the content of the report and the medium in which it is delivered. Collectively, we refer to these reports as our “information reports.” In addition, we currently provide radio traffic reports under a Traffic Radio service contract with the United Kingdom’s Highways Agency, which is an executive agency of the United Kingdom Department of Transport.
     The radio stations that contract to provide us with traffic and news report advertising inventory become members of our “Radio Network.” Likewise, the television stations that contract to receive our TV reports become members of our “TV Network.” Collectively, we refer to the members of these networks as our “network affiliates.” We currently offer radio traffic and television traffic reports and video footage to our network affiliates in Australia, while obtaining radio news report advertising inventory by paying cash compensation to our news network affiliates. References to the provision of news reports in Australia throughout this report refer to our purchase from radio stations of news advertising inventory embedded in news reports that we then make available to our advertisers. We provide radio traffic reports and TV reports to our network affiliates in Canada, as well as news, weather, business and sports reports to radio network affiliates on a limited basis. In the United Kingdom, we provide radio stations with traffic and entertainment news information and reports that are primarily provided through third party out-source providers that we compensate. Our network affiliates by market and product currently are as follows:
                         
            Radio News,    
            Sports,    
            Weather,    
            Business

     The number of our traffic network affiliates in the UK has decreased from the prior period primarily due to a decision by Global Radio Services to consolidate a number of their Heart branded radio stations by simulcasting their programming over multiple stations that had previously been programmed on a standalone basis. This had the effect of us having fewer network affiliates each with a larger audience. The overall audience delivery was not significantly impacted therefore the consolidation of radio stations had no impact on our revenue potential in the United Kingdom market.
Our Sources of Revenue — Sale of Commercial Airtime Inventory
     In exchange for providing our information reports and/or, for certain broadcasters, cash compensation, our network affiliates provide us with commercial advertising inventory. We generate revenues by packaging and selling this commercial advertising inventory for cash to advertisers on a local, regional or national network basis, except in the United Kingdom where it is sold on a national basis only. To date, we have not recognized any revenue related to the bartering of goods and services and do not anticipate entering into barter transactions for the sale of our commercial advertising inventory in the future. The main factors that determine the amount of revenue we generate from our commercial advertising inventory include the audience reach of our networks, which is determined by the number of advertising spots we have to sell as well as the audience of our network affiliates, the percentage of the available market that our network covers, the advertising rates in the markets in which we operate networks, the length of time we have been established in the market and the training and abilities of our sales staffs. Although the number of network affiliates that we maintain in a market may influence certain of these factors, the number may not be directly correlated to the amount of revenue that we generate in that market.
     The majority of our revenues have been generated from our Australian operations, including approximately $49.7 million, or 59%, of our revenues for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011, of which approximately $36.0 million, or 43% of our total revenues, has been generated from the sale of commercial advertising inventory related to our Australian radio traffic reports. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2010, approximately $42.2 million, or 60% of our revenues, was generated by our Australian operations, of which approximately $32.1 million, or 46%, was generated from the sale of commercial advertising inventory related to our Australian radio traffic reports. We expect to accumulate increasing amounts of commercial advertising inventory from our Australian operations as we continue to obtain more news report inventory in Australia. We began accumulating commercial advertising inventory from our Canadian operations in December 2005 and began generating limited revenue in Canada in January 2006. Currently, we have operations in eight Canadian cities: Calgary, Toronto, Hamilton, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, Edmonton and Winnipeg. We anticipate expanding our radio and television advertising inventory primarily by adding new network affiliates in our existing markets, as we have not penetrated the Canadian markets to the extent that we have done so in Australia or United Kingdom. However, we will continue to explore the expansion of our advertising inventory by both the introduction of new products as well as entering new Canadian markets. We obtained the majority of our United Kingdom radio advertising inventory as a result of our acquisition of The Unique Broadcasting Company Limited (“Unique”) on March 1, 2009, which we subsequently renamed UK Commercial Traffic Network. We are actively seeking to expand the amount of our traffic and entertainment news inventory from both new and existing radio affiliates in the United Kingdom. As commercial advertising inventory generated from our Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom operations increase, we expect to sell the increased commercial advertising inventory in the same manner as we have sold commercial advertising inventory generated from our provision of radio traffic reports in Australia. Our experience indicates, however, that there is generally a delay between acquiring commercial advertising inventory from new or expanded operations and the realization of increasing revenues from the sale of such inventory. We expect to experience such delays in realizing revenues from the sale of commercial advertising inventory associated with additional radio news reports in Australia, our provision of radio traffic reports in Canada and increases in radio advertising inventory in the United Kingdom.
Our Expenses
     Our expenses are primarily comprised of three categories: operating expenses, selling expenses and general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses consist of station compensation and all expenses related to the gathering, producing, and broadcasting of our information reports, including aviation costs and expenses, salaries and benefits for our on-air personalities who deliver the information reports and payments to third parties that provide information and reporting services. Station compensation consists of the reimbursement of expenses incurred by stations which we would otherwise incur in providing services to the station, as well as any additional cash consideration paid to a network affiliate in exchange for commercial advertising inventory. We may incur increased expenses in the form of station compensation in connection with adding certain broadcasters to our base of network affiliates. As mentioned above, our experience indicates that in such instances there is generally a delay between acquiring commercial advertising inventory from new network affiliates and the realization of increased revenues from the sale of such inventory. Aviation costs relate to the costs of our airborne surveillance, an integral part of our information gathering, and consist both of payments to outside vendors to lease aircraft and the operating costs (including fuel, maintenance, and insurance costs) associated with the operation of the fleet of aircraft we own. Our fleet of leased and owned aircraft currently consists of:
                                                 
    Australia   Canada   United Kingdom
    Leased   Owned   Leased   Owned   Leased   Owned
Fixed-wing aircraft
    0       1       2       1       0       2  
Helicopters
    0       4       0       7       0       0  
     Selling expenses include salaries and benefits for our sales personnel and commissions paid on sales of our commercial advertising inventory. General and administrative expenses consist of corporate overhead, including administrative salaries, real property lease payments, insurance, salaries and benefits for our corporate executive officers, compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock and legal and accounting fees. Expenses other than selling expenses are generally expensed evenly over the applicable fiscal year.

Seasonality of Business
     We believe that advertising revenues in general vary moderately over the calendar year, with the three month period ending December 31 generally resulting in the highest revenues and the three month period ending March 31 generally resulting in the lowest revenues. This industry trend is mainly attributable to increases in the level of advertiser demand, and resulting increases in average advertising spot rates and/or number of spots sold, during the months leading up to the Christmas holiday season and lower advertiser demand following the end of the holiday season which leads to lower average advertising spot rates and/or number of spots sold during that time. We believe that this general trend in advertising revenues is applicable to our business. During certain previous years, the impact of seasonality on our results of operations has been offset by the rapid revenue growth of our business and, in certain cases, favorable exchange rate movements. As a result, our revenues for the quarter ending March 31 have frequently exceeded our revenues for the preceding quarter ended September 30. Our expenses other than sales costs are generally spread evenly over the fiscal year. As a result, we generally experience seasonality in the amount of our net income absent growth due to the addition of new network affiliates.
Basis of Presentation
     We have derived substantially all of our revenues to date from our Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom operations. However, the financial information contained in this report, including the financial statements, report our financial condition and results of operation in United States dollars and, unless stated otherwise, all references to dollar amounts refer to United States dollars. Income statement amounts are converted from Australian dollars, Canadian dollars or British pounds to United States dollars based on the average exchange rate for the period covered. Assets and liabilities are converted based on the exchange rate as of the applicable balance sheet date. Equity is converted based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the applicable investment. Foreign currency translation adjustments occur when the income statement and balance sheet are converted at different exchange rates and are recognized as other comprehensive income or loss in the financial statements. For reference, the exchange rates to United States dollars from Australian dollars, Canadian dollars and British pounds applicable to our income statement data for each of the three months periods ended September 30 and December 31, 2010 and 2009 and March 31, 2011 and 2010 and applicable to our balance sheet data as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 are set forth below:

     When discussing changes in income statement accounts from the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2010, the analysis under “Results of Operations” below includes both the impact of currency changes and changes in revenues and expenditures in the local currency.
     Foreign currency exchange rates in the markets in which we operate have been subject to substantial fluctuation. Any fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries in which we operate will impact the amount of our revenues and expenses. To the extent foreign currencies depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar, there will be a negative impact on the revenues we report due to such fluctuation. It is possible that the impact of currency fluctuations will result in a decrease in reported sales even though we have experienced an increase in sales when reported in the applicable foreign currency. This occurred in Australia for the three months ended March 31, 2009, when revenue increased by approximately 11.7% when measured in Australian dollars but our reported Australia revenue in U.S. dollars decreased by approximately 18.1%, in each case when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. Conversely, a weak U.S. dollar may mask lower performance in local currencies as it is possible for us to report higher revenues in U.S. dollars despite revenue declines in local currency in the markets in which we operate. This was the case in Australia during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, when revenue decreased by approximately 3.8% when measured in Australian dollars but our reported Australia revenue in U.S. dollars increased by approximately 7.0%, in each case when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.
     For our third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Australian dollar was stronger than during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This trend has continued to date during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011. Should the exchange rate between the U.S. and Australian dollar remain at current levels, this will have the effect of increasing revenues and expenses reported in U.S. dollars from our Australian operations (which constitute the majority of our business) for our fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 absent any change in performance in local currency.
     In October 2010, UKTN was informed that its Traffic Radio services contract with the United Kingdom’s Highways Agency would not be extended beyond its current expiration date of August 31, 2011 due to budgetary constraints of the Highways Agency. We expect the contract will continue under its current terms until the expiration date and thus will have no impact on our financial results for the remainder of the current fiscal year. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, revenue related to this contract was $1,010 and $2,998, operating income and net income was $199 and $666 and basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.01 and $0.04. Assuming stable exchange rates, we expect that the contract’s quarterly contribution to our results throughout its remaining term will be consistent with results seen during the third fiscal quarter of 2011, as the revenue and expenses related to the contract are fairly consistent on a quarter to quarter basis.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
     Revenues. Revenues increased from approximately $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately 11.2%. Australian revenues increased approximately $1.0 million, or approximately 7.0%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in Australian revenues pertained primarily to our radio network. All of the increase in Australian revenues was due to the Australian dollar being stronger in the third fiscal quarter 2011 compared to the third fiscal quarter 2010. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, Australian revenues decreased approximately 3.8% when measured in local currency compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2010. The Australian revenue decrease in local currency was driven primarily by a decrease in the number of spots sold compared to the previous year quarter. The decrease in spots sold was due to a decrease in the percentage of available spots being sold compared to the previous year period. The percentage of spots sold in Australia decreased from approximately 85% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately 76% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We believe that the reduced demand for our inventory was due to weaker than expected retail market during the quarter, as we have significant retail clients that reduced their expected expenditures. Revenues from our United Kingdom operations increased approximately $1.4 million (approximately 19.4%) which related primarily to our traffic and entertainment news network advertising sales. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, United Kingdom revenues increased approximately

Table of Contents

15.7% when measured in British pounds. Revenues from the sale of inventory related to our Canadian operations increased approximately $0.3 million, or approximately 11.1%, from the previous year quarter. The revenue increase in local currency was driven mainly by an increase in rate, which increased approximately 40% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. The rate in the previous period had been impacted by “per inquiry” and guaranteed bonus spots, which became less prevalent in the current quarter due to increased advertiser demand. The curtailment of these low yield spots also contributed to a lower sell-out in the current quarter compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, Canadian revenues increased approximately 6.5% when measured in Canadian dollars.
     Operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization discussed below). Operating expenses increased from approximately $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately 18.1%. Australian operating expenses increased approximately $1.4 million primarily due to an increase in station compensation of approximately $1.2 million and an increase in employee costs of approximately $0.2 million. Approximately $0.9 million of the approximately $1.4 million overall increase in Australian operating expenses discussed above was related to currency movements as the Australian dollar was stronger in the current fiscal quarter when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, Australian operating expenses increased by approximately 6.4% when measured in local currency. Operating costs related to our United Kingdom operations increased approximately $1.1 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to an increase in station compensation. The increase in station compensation was due to increases in fixed compensation related to certain contract renewals as well as higher variable compensation resulting from the increased revenue during the quarter. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, United Kingdom operating expenses increased by approximately 15.0% in local currency. Operating expenses related to our Canadian operations increased approximately $0.3 million due to an increase in station compensation of approximately $0.2 million and an increase in employee costs of approximately $0.1 million. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, Canadian operating expenses increased by approximately 4.1% in local currency. Global Alert Network operating expenses increased approximately $0.2 million as spending increased in an effort to commercialize our alerting product for mobile phones.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from approximately $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately 11.1%. Australia Traffic Network selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.3 million dollars compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010, of which approximately $0.3 million related to currency translation differences as the Australia dollar was stronger relative to the U.S. dollar compared to the year ago period. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, Australian selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 0.7% when measured in local currency. Sales expense as a percentage of revenue in Australia decreased from approximately 13.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately 13.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Canada Traffic Network selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.1 million primarily due to an increase in costs related to our sales staff due to commissions on increased sales, the hiring of additional sales representatives and sales managers and severance for terminated employees. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.3 million in the United Kingdom primarily due to approximately $0.2 million in commissions and bonuses associated with the higher revenue as well as approximately $0.1 million in management fees charged by Global Traffic Network which eliminates in consolidation. Selling, general and administrative expenses for Global Traffic Network (the unconsolidated parent) were reduced approximately $0.1 million due to the increased management fees discussed above. Management fee revenue is treated as a contra-expense and eliminates in consolidation. Non-cash compensation expense resulting from grants of employee and director stock options and restricted stock was approximately $0.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
     Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased from approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase mainly related to shortening the useful lives of the Canadian Traffic Network helicopters from eight years to six years and reducing the Canadian Traffic Network helicopter engine rebuild useful lives from three years to two years in March 2010. This change in estimate was made due to our flying more hours per year in Canada than originally anticipated.
     Interest expense. Interest expense was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as the Company has no outstanding debt.
     Other (income) expense. Other (income) (net) was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Other (income) consists primarily of interest income on our cash balances.
     Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased from approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease resulted primarily from lower tax expense in Australia due to the lower income before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2010. The effective tax rate in Australia was 30.4% for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and 29.9% for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to the statutory federal rate of 30.0%. There was no income tax benefit for the United States or Canada as a valuation allowance has been created for 100% of the Company’s net deferred tax assets in those countries. The UK Traffic Network realized approximately $0.2 million tax benefit due primarily to the utilization of the deferred tax liability created by the Unique acquisition. The UK Traffic Network tax benefit was offset by approximately $0.2 million of tax expense related to the utilization of UK Commercial Traffic Network’s net operating loss carry-forwards. UK Commercial Traffic Network’s tax benefit and tax expense are both non-cash items.

     Net income (loss). Net income decreased from approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to a net loss of approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to $0.5 million decrease in Australia Traffic Network net income due to lower sales and higher expenses. In addition, Global Alert Network’s loss increased approximately $0.2 million due to increased expenses related to our mobile phone alerting product.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared With Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010
     Revenues. Revenues increased from approximately $70.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $83.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately 19.7%. Australian revenues increased approximately $7.5 million, or approximately 17.8%, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in Australian revenues pertained primarily to our radio network. Approximately $4.3 million of the overall approximately $7.5 million increase in Australian revenues was due to the Australian dollar being stronger in the first three fiscal quarters 2011 compared to fiscal 2010, while the remaining approximately $3.2 million was due to increased sales in local currency. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, Australian revenues increased approximately 7.8% when measured in local currency compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 2010. Revenues from our United Kingdom operations increased approximately $2.4 million (approximately 11.3%) which primarily related to our traffic and entertainment news network advertising sales. Unlike the Australian and Canadian dollar, the British pound was actually weaker over the first three fiscal quarters of this year (although not the current quarter) compared to the same period of last year. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, United Kingdom revenues increased approximately 13.2% when measured in British pounds. Revenues from the sale of inventory related to our Canadian operations increased approximately $4.0 million, or approximately 61.5%, from the previous year period. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, Canadian revenues increased approximately 54.8% when measured in Canadian dollars.
     Operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization discussed below). Operating expenses increased from approximately $47.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $53.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately 11.5%. Australian operating expenses increased approximately $3.9 million primarily due to an increase in station compensation of approximately $3.4 million and an increase in employee costs of approximately $0.6 million. Approximately $2.3 million of the approximately $3.9 million overall increase in Australian operating expenses discussed above was related to currency movements as the Australian dollar was stronger in the current fiscal year to date period when compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 2010. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, Australian operating expenses increased by approximately 7.4% when measured in local currency. Operating costs related to our United Kingdom operations increased approximately $0.8 million compared to the period ended March 31, 2010. Employee costs were reduced approximately $0.2 million, third party traffic out source provider costs were reduced approximately $0.3 million while station compensation increased approximately $1.3 million compared to the previous year period. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, United Kingdom operating expenses increased by approximately 6.4% in local currency. Operating expenses related to our Canadian operations increased approximately $0.6 million due to an increase in station compensation of approximately $0.4 million, approximately $0.1 million loss on write-off of a blown helicopter engine, an increase of approximately $0.2 million in employee costs and a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in aviation costs. As reflected in Changes in Key Operating Statistics in Local Currencies, Canadian operating expenses increased by approximately 3.1% in local currency. Global Alert Network operating expenses increased approximately $0.2 million as spending increased in the current quarter in an effort to commercialize our alerting product for mobile phones.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from approximately $15.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $18.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of approximately 14.6%. Australian selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.4 million compared to the period ended March 31, 2010, of which approximately $0.9 million related to currency translation differences as the Australia dollar was stronger relative to the U.S. dollar compared to the year ago period. The majority of the increase in Australian selling, general and administrative in local currency pertained to higher sales employee compensation mainly resulting from the higher revenues for the period and to a lesser extent increases in administrative salaries. Sales expense as a percentage of revenue in Australia decreased from approximately 13.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately 13.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Canada Traffic Network selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.0 million primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in costs related to our sales staff due to commissions on increased sales, the hiring of additional sales representatives and sales managers as well as severance for terminated employees. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.1 million in the United Kingdom primarily due to the management fee from Global Traffic Network that was implemented in the quarter. Non-cash compensation expense resulting from grants of employee and director stock options and restricted stock was approximately $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
     Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased from approximately $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $4.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Approximately $0.4 million of the increase related to shortening the useful lives of the Canadian Traffic Network helicopters from eight years to six years and reducing the Canadian Traffic Network helicopter engine rebuild useful lives from three years to two years in March 2010. This change in estimate was made due to our flying more hours per year in Canada than originally anticipated.
     Interest expense. Interest expense was $0 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as the Company has no outstanding debt.
     Other (income) expense. Other (income) (net) increased from approximately $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $0.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Other (income) consists primarily of interest income on our cash balances. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2010, there was approximately $0.1 million of foreign translation income. This income resulted from the repayment of balances due to the Company by Australia Traffic Network during the prior year period. Intercompany balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are translated from the local currencies to U.S. dollars at each balance sheet date. To the extent these balances are intended to be ongoing, that is, settlement is neither planned nor anticipated, the translation adjustments to balance intercompany are reflected as a component of other comprehensive income. The repayment of the Australia Traffic Network intercompany balance triggered a realized foreign exchange income during the period ended March 31, 2010.

     Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased from approximately $3.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $4.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to higher net profit in Australia which led to an approximately $0.7 million increase in income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 2010. The effective tax rate in Australia was 30.1% for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 compared to the statutory federal rate of 30.0%. There was no income tax benefit for the United States or Canada as a valuation allowance has been created for 100% of the Company’s net deferred tax assets in those countries. In addition, tax expense related to our United Kingdom operations increased approximately $0.3 million due to increased profits from UK Commercial Traffic Network. The UK Traffic Network realized approximately $0.5 million tax benefit due primarily to the utilization of the deferred tax liability created by the Unique acquisition. The UK Traffic Network tax benefit was offset by approximately $0.6 million of tax expense related to the utilization of UK Commercial Traffic Network’s net operating loss carry-forwards. UK Commercial Traffic Network’s tax benefit and tax expense are both non-cash items.
     Net income. Net income increased from approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $4.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to a smaller Canadian Traffic Network net loss due in large part to significantly higher sales in that market, increased Australia Traffic Network net income resulting from higher sales and favorable currency movements and the financial performance of UK Traffic Network improving from a net loss to net income, primarily based upon the performance of UK Commercial Traffic Network.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     At March 31, 2011, the Company’s primary source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents of approximately $37.0 million. At March 31, 2011, the Company also had approximately $2.1 million available under its overdraft credit line. The overdraft credit line is denominated in Australian dollars and has been translated into U.S. dollars for purposes of this report. The Company’s excess cash has been mainly invested in short term bonds, short term agencies, short term commercial paper and money market accounts, all of which have maturities of 90 days or less. None of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of auction rate securities at March 31, 2011.
     Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $12.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, due mainly to positive cash generation from operations (after the net income was adjusted for non-cash expenses) which was further increased by positive changes in working capital. The largest source of working capital was $1.9 million due to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The majority of the increase in accounts payable is a timing difference and is expected to reverse in the future.
     Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.7 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011. The cash used for investing activities consisted of capital expenditures, the majority of which was for the periodic rebuilding of helicopter engines in Canada and Australia.
     Financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, due to proceeds received from the exercise of warrants issued to the underwriter of our initial public offering. The Company currently has no long term debt or amounts outstanding under its bank overdraft line of credit.
     Effect of exchange rate changes. Cash and cash equivalents were increased approximately $5.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 due primarily to the significant strengthening of the Australian dollar, as a significant majority of our cash and cash equivalents are denominated in Australian dollars.
     We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand and our overdraft line of credit of approximately $2.1 million provides adequate resources to fund ongoing operations, including any net losses generated by certain of our subsidiaries. However, our capital requirements depend on many factors, including, without limitation, the amount, if any, of cash provided by our operating activities, cash requirements of our expansion in the United Kingdom, the occurrence and timing of any expansion efforts in new geographic markets, the cost associated with development and commercialization of Global Alert Network’s mobile telephone technology and the introduction of products in our existing and/or new markets. Our capital requirements will also depend on the factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements and Factors Affecting Forward-Looking Statements
     Some of the statements made in this report are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and projections about future events. When used in this report, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions, or the negative of such words and expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions. The forward-looking statements in this report are primarily located in the material set forth under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” but are found in other locations as well. These forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations and are based upon management’s current estimates and projections of future results or trends. Although we believe that our plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we may not achieve these plans or objectives. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future.
     Specific factors that might cause actual results to differ from our expectations or may affect the value of the common stock, include, but are not limited to:
    our inability to compete successfully with current or future competitors within our industry;
 
    our inability to retain members of our executive management or other key employees;

23


Table of Contents

    the termination or impairment of our relationships with key network affiliates;
 
    the termination or impairment of our advertiser relationships;
 
    our inability to manage our growth effectively;
 
    our ability to expand successfully into additional international markets;
 
    the effect on our financial performance of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and results of any hedging transactions;
 
    the availability to us of additional financing, if required;
 
    the occurrence of unforeseen litigation; and
 
    our inability to integrate our recent acquisition of The Unique Broadcasting Company Limited or to manage future acquisitions.
     Other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this report are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk
     We are exposed to market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
     We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents. We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of less than 90 days to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant interest rate risk due to the short maturities of these instruments. However, due to the large cash and cash equivalents balances, a one percentage point decrease in the interest rates we earn on these balances would reduce interest income approximately $0.4 million on an annual basis based on the balances at March 31, 2011. We have no derivative financial instruments or auction rate securities in our cash and cash equivalents. We had no outstanding long-term debt as March 31, 2011 nor did we have any balance outstanding under our bank overdraft line of credit that bears interest at a variable rate. We do not see variable interest rate long-term debt as a significant interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
     We have significant foreign subsidiaries located in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are denominated in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars and British pounds, respectively, and as such are translated into United States dollars. Income statement amounts are translated from Australian dollars, Canadian dollars or British pounds to United States dollars based on the average exchange rate for the period covered. Assets and liabilities are converted based on the exchange rate as of the applicable balance sheet date. Equity investments are converted based on the exchange rate at the time of the applicable investment. Foreign currency translation adjustments occur when the income statement and balance sheet are converted at different exchange rates and are recognized as other comprehensive income or loss in the financial statements. We do not currently hedge for currency fluctuations with our foreign subsidiaries. Since July 1, 2008, the U.S. dollar has fluctuated significantly in relation to the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and British pound. These fluctuations have caused our quarterly reported revenues and expenses to be both significantly higher and lower than would have been reported had we experienced constant foreign currency exchange rates.
Accounts Receivable
     Although the Company’s accounts receivable do not represent a significant concentration of credit risk due to the large number of customers and the fact that no one customer represents more than 6% of our annual revenue, payments from customers may be received through advertising agencies depending on the customer and the relevant geographic market. Therefore, we may experience credit risk based on the concentration of accounts receivable attributable to advertising agencies. One advertising agency that represents a number of our advertising clients in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom constituted approximately 28% of our revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and approximately 33% of our net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011. Another advertising agency representing a number of our advertising clients in Australia constituted approximately 11% of our revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and approximately 7% of our net account receivable as of March 31, 2011. Two other advertising agencies that represent a number of our advertising clients in Australia, Canada and United Kingdom each constituted approximately 14% and 10% of our revenues, respectively for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and approximately 17% and 8%, respectively of our net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2011. In addition to the aforementioned agencies, it is likely other advertising agencies may exceed 10% of our revenues and/or 10% of our net accounts receivable in

the future based on the current or past billing levels of certain agencies. In the United Kingdom, substantially all our advertising related revenues come from five agency groups (including one agency group placing approximately 52% of our UK advertising revenues for the nine months ending March 31, 2011); therefore our concentration of revenue by agency is greater in the UK market than for our Company as a whole.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
     There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
