 DAG MEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2005
 

1.             THE COMPANY

                The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of DAG Media, Inc. (“DAG” or the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 10-KSB. Results of consolidated operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be attained in the entire fiscal year. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

                The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

2.             RECENT TECHNICAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

                In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. A key provision of this statement is the requirement of a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (including stock options) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (i.e., the requisite service period or vesting period). The Company cannot estimate the future impact on the financials statements. See note 4 for the impact the use of the fair value accounting would have had on the periods presented. This standard becomes effective on January 1, 2006. The Company will adopt SFAS 123R beginning in the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2006.

                Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effected, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financials statements.

3.             EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

                The Company has applied SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” in its calculation and presentation of earnings per share - “basic” and “diluted”. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

                The numerator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings per common share for each period is the reported net income. The denominator is based on the following weighted average number of common shares:

 
Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
2005   2004  

 
Basic     3,106,938     3,002,966  
Incremental shares for assumed conversion of options         130,450  

 
Diluted     3,106,938     3,133,416  

 
 

                The difference between basic and diluted weighted average common shares resulted from the assumption that the dilutive stock options outstanding were exercised. For the three month period ended March 31, 2004 there were 173,440 stock options and warrants not included in the diluted earning per share calculation, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

4.              STOCK – BASED COMPENSATION

                As permitted by the SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees in accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Compensation expense for stock options issued to employees is based on the difference on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price of the option. No stock based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction With Selling, or in Conjunction With Selling Goods or Services”. All transactions with non employees, in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

The following table illustrates the effect on net (loss) income and (loss) income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock based compensation to employees:

Item 2.           MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

                The following discussion and analysis of our result of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on form 10-QSB. The discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from those projected in such forward-looking statements.

                We publish and distribute print and online business directories for domestic niche markets. Our principal source of revenue comes from the sale of ads in these directories. As a sales incentive we also provide our advertisers with added values, such as referral services and consumer discount club. We also operate Internet portals, JewishYellow.com targeting worldwide Jewish communities and JewishMasterguide.com, targeting the ultra-orthodox and Hasidic communities.

                Our principal directories are: the Jewish Israeli Yellow Pages, a bilingual, English and Hebrew, yellow page directory distributed free through local commercial and retail establishments in the New York metropolitan area and Florida. The Jewish Master Guide also known as The Kosher Yellow Pages, a yellow page directory designed to meet the special needs of the Hasidic and ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in the New York metropolitan area and Florida.


6



                On January 7, 2005, we announced our intention to sell our classified directories business, consisting of the Jewish Israeli Yellow Pages and the Jewish Master Guide. The sale would include applicable trademarks, tradenames and other intellectual property. At this time, no buyers have been identified nor have any deal terms been agreed upon. The Company decided to seek a buyer for its directories business because the complexity, scale and probable margins of this business makes the costs of compliance with new regulatory requirements for public companies, under Sarbanes - Oxley Act of 2002 and other government strictures, prohibitive. While seeking to sell our classified directories business we will seek to acquire a new potentially larger and more profitable business, more suitable for operation in a publicly traded company. We believe that the sale of our directories business and acquisition of a new business more suitable for operation in a public company is the best way to enhance shareholder value and optimize asset growth. However, we can not assure you that our divestiture and acquisition strategy will be successful. In the meantime, we will continue to publish and expand our existing niche ethnic directories.

                Advertising fees, whether collected in cash or evidenced by a receivable, generated in advance of publication dates, are recorded as “Advanced billings for unpublished directories” on our balance sheet. Many of our advertisers pay the ad fee over a period of time. In that case, the entire amount of the deferred payment is booked as a receivable. Revenues are recognized at the time the directory in which the ad appears is published. Thus, costs directly related to the publication of a directory in advance of publication are recorded as “Directories in progress” on our balance sheet and are recognized when the directory to which they relate is published. All other costs are expensed as incurred.

                Since our contracts sell ads for two consecutive editions, we recognize 50% of its revenues and charge 50% of its related direct expenses upon publication of the first directory whereas the remaining 50% is recognized upon publication of the second edition. Therefore, advertising revenues are recognized under the point-of-publication method, which is generally followed by publishing companies. Under this method, revenues and expenses are recognized when the related directories are published. Similarly, costs directly related to the publication of a directory in advance of publication are recorded as “Directories in progress” on the accompanying balance sheet and are recognized when the directory to which they relate is published. All other costs are expensed as incurred.

                The principal operating costs incurred in connection with publishing the directories are commissions payable to sales representatives and costs for paper and printing. Generally, advertising commissions are paid as advertising revenue is collected. We do not have any long term agreements with paper suppliers or printers. Since ads are sold before we purchase paper and print a particular directory, a substantial increase in the cost of paper or printing costs would reduce our profitability. Administrative and general expenses include expenditures for marketing, insurance, rent, sales and local franchise taxes, licensing fees, office overhead and wages and fees paid to employees and contract workers (other than sales representatives).

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2004

Advertising revenues

                Advertising revenues for three months ended March 31, 2005 were $1,680,000 compared to $2,436,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $756,000, or 31.0%. Advertising revenues for three months ended March 31, 2004 included $466,000 of recognized revenues resulting from the ninth and last edition of the sold New Yellow Manhattan Directory. The remaining $290,000 decrease in revenues was attributable primarily to the decrease in revenue of the Jewish Israeli Yellow Pages directory, which had produced record high revenues in prior years. During the sales period for the 30th edition of the Jewish Israeli Yellow Pages (published in February 2005), we experienced a few operational changes in our sales force including replacement of the sales managers in two of our sales offices, and the repositioning of some other personnel. These changes resulted in a period in which sales declined. We believe, however, that the changes to our sales force will have a positive affect on our sales in the near future.

                 The following table reflects the revenue attributed to each of our directories.

 
Revenues for the three months
period ended
 
 
 
March 31, 2005   March 31, 2004  
 
 
 
Jewish Israeli Yellow Pages $ 1,680,000   $ 1,970,000  
New Yellow Manhattan (sold in August 2003)       466,000  


Total Revenues $ 1,680,000   $ 2,436,000  


 

                For each of the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no revenues attributable to the Jewish Master Guide directory. In the second and fourth quarters, upon the publication and distribution of the Jewish Master Guide directory, its related revenues will be attributed accordingly. We sell advertisements to our directories until two weeks prior to the publication date. Therefore, it is almost impossible to predict specific edition sales.

Publishing costs

                Publishing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $207,000 compared to $396,000 for the corresponding period in 2004, a decrease of $189,000, or 47.7%. As a percentage of advertising revenues, publishing costs were 12.3% in the three month period ending March 31, 2005 compared to 16.3% in the corresponding period in 2004. The decrease in publishing costs was due primarily to the decrease in printing costs resulting from the sale of the New Yellow  Manhattan  directory, which was last published in the first quarter of 2004. In addition, the decrease in publishing costs reflects the savings of distribution costs resulting from the new and domestic printer that the Company started using for both the Jewish Master Guide  and the Jewish Israeli Yellow Pages  directory. The decreased publishing costs were slightly offset by the increase in printing cost for both of the Company’s directories after a change in their size and formats. The difference in publishing costs can vary as it corresponds to the particular requirements of the directory being published and on the prevailing paper costs. According to our past experience, we expect a modest annual increase in publication costs primarily due to increase in paper costs and production expenses.


8



Selling expenses

                Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $826,000 compared to $1,102,000 for the corresponding period in 2004, a decrease of $276,000, or 25.0%. As a percentage of advertising revenues, selling expenses increased to 49.2 % from 45.2%. This decrease in selling expenses was attributable primarily to the decrease in the Company’s sales. The increase of selling expenses as a percentage of advertising revenue is attributable to the higher commission and promotions rates the Company pays to both the Jewish Master Guide and the Jewish Israeli Yellow Pages directories compared to the commission rate previously paid for the New Yellow Manhattan directory. Since our principal selling expenses are represented by the sales commissions paid, we expect sales expenses to increase or decrease in accordance with the increase or decrease of revenues.

Administrative and general costs

                General and administrative expenses for the three month ended March 31, 2005 were $806,000 compared to $585,000 for the same period in 2004, an increase of $221,000, or 37.77%. As a percentage of advertising revenues, administrative and general costs increased to 47.97% from 24.01%. This increase is primarily attributable to increased legal fees of $87,000 (see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceeding), payroll expenses of $35,000 reflecting normal fluctuation due to the increase or decrease of the number of our employees versus the use of outsourced personnel and bad debt expenses of $42,000 representing the negative affect on the collection rate of our New Yellow Manhattan directory as a result of its sale. We expect administrative and general costs to increase as a result of ongoing expenses related to reporting company obligations and compliance such as those mandated by the provision of the Sarbanes – Oxley Act of 2002 and Nasdaq National Market requirements.

Other (loss) income

                For the three month period ended March 31, 2005, we had other loss consisting of dividend, interest and realized gains of $27,000 compared to other income of $119,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004. The decrease is attributable primarily to the fact that a higher portion of the Company’s portfolio consisted of marketable securities that did not perform well in the first quarter of 2005.

Provision for income taxes

                There was no provision for income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to a provision of $138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The Company has recorded in additional paid in capital an expected $16,000 tax benefit resulting from options exercised during the first quarter of 2005.

                For the three month period ended March 31, 2004, net operating loss from discontinued operation totaled $122,000. On August 24, 2004, we sold our wholly owned subsidiary, Blackbook Photography Inc., to Modern Holdings Incorporated, for $2.25 million. Our net profit from the sale, before provision for income taxes, totaled totaled $1.186 million, previously presented on our financial statements for the period ended September 31, 2004. Net revenue from discontinued operation was $26,625 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

                At March 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and short terms investments of $8,736,000 and working capital of $7,462,000 as compared to cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and short terms investments of $7,916,000 and working capital of $7,312,000 at March 31, 2004. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities primarily reflects the $2.125 million cash provided by the sale of the Blackbook Photography Inc., on August of 2004, partly offset by a dividend payment on January 5, 2005 of $ 867,000. The increase in working capital is attributable primarily to better collection rates of our trade account receivable, which resulted from the increased number of employees delegated to focus on collection efforts, partially offset by the poor collection rate relating to our sold New Yellow Manhattan directory. Such increase is also attributable to the decrease in production and printing costs resulting from the sale of our New Yellow Manhattan directory.

                Net cash used in operating activities was $216,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. For the comparable period in 2004, net cash used in operating activities was $314,000. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities reflects the increased earnings from continuing operations.

                Net cash used in investing activities was $1,595,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $3,732,000 for the comparable period in 2004. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of our purchases of marketable securities and a change in our investment strategy.

                Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $838,000 compared to $578,000 for the comparable period in 2004.The net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was due to the dividend paid to the Company’s shareholders on January 5, 2005, offset by the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common shares, respectively.

                We have not entered into any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources.

                We anticipate that our current cash balances together with our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund the production of our directories and the maintenance of our Web sites as well as increases in our marketing and promotional activities for the next 12 months. However, we expect our working capital requirements to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to strive for growth.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceeding

                On February 24, 2004, the Jewish Sephardic YellowPages Ltd. (the “Plaintiff”) filed a claim against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, challenging our ownership of our federally registered trademark “Kosher Yellow Pages” and seeking declaratory judgment, injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive monetary damages against us in connection with our use of the trademark. We filed an answer on April 7, 2004 vigorously denying plaintiff’s claims and asserting that there is no basis for liability. We have also asserted a counterclaim and third party complaint against Plaintiff and the Plaintiff’s owner in which we seeks a declaratory judgment that we are the rightful owner of the mark “the Kosher Yellow Pages”, and seeking injunctive relief, compensatory and punitive monetary damages and other relief against the continuing, unauthorized use of this trademark by the Plaintiff. As of December 31, 2004, we asked for the court permission to file a motion for summary judgment, which was granted, by the court. On April 5, 2005 we filed a motion for summary judgment.

                On December 28, 2004, Le Book Publishing, Inc., filed a claim in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, naming Black Book Photography, Inc. and the Company as defendants. Blackbook Photography Inc. was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which the Company sold to Modern Holdings, Inc. on August 24, 2004. The complaint, which seeks damages, alleges, among other things, copyright and trademark infringement by the defendants with respect to the plaintiff’s rights in “Le Book.” On March 28, 2005, we filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint. We intend to vigorously defend against plaintiff’s claims as we believe that there is no basis for liability.

Item 5.    Other Information

                On January 7, 2005, we announced the proposed sale of our classified directories business, consisting of the Jewish Israeli Yellow Pages and the Master or Kosher Guide. The sale would include applicable trademarks, tradenames and other intellectual property. We decided to seek a buyer for our directories business because the complexity, scale and probable margins of this business makes the costs of compliance with new regulatory requirements for public companies, under Sarbanes – Oxley Act of 2002 and other government strictures, prohibitive. While seeking to sell our classified directories business we will seek to acquire a new potentially larger and more profitable business, more suitable for operation in a publicly traded company. We believe that the sale of our directories business and acquisition of a new business more suitable for operation in a public company is the best way to enhance shareholder value and optimize asset growth.

                On January 7, 2005, we also announced that we would pay a $0.10 per share dividend to shareholders of record on March 21, June 20, September 20 and December 20, 2005 with pay dates on April 5, July 5, October 5, 2005 and January 5, 2006.
