Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1. Accounting policies

a. General

     Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is herein referred to as “we,” “our,” or the “Company.”

     The information included in the foregoing interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily indicate the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

b. Use of estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management does not expect such differences to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

c. Recent Accounting Standards

     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold which a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It further provides guidance on derecognition and measurement of tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the minimum threshold recognition provisions of FIN 48. See Note 1(e) for further information on the adoption of FIN 48.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement. SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently assessing whether adoption of SFAS 157 will have an impact on our financial statements but does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). Under SFAS 159, entities may choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 also establishes recognition, presentation, and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing whether adoption of SFAS 159 will have an impact on our financial statements but does not believe the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

d. Television production costs

     Television production costs are capitalized and amortized based upon estimates of future revenues to be received and future costs to be incurred for the applicable television product. The Company bases its estimates on existing

7

contracts for programs, historical advertising rates and ratings as well as market conditions. Estimated future revenues and costs are adjusted regularly based upon actual results and changes in market and other conditions.

e. Income taxes

     The Company follows SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized for the future costs and benefits attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company periodically reviews the requirements for a valuation allowance and makes adjustments to such allowances when changes in circumstances result in changes in management’s judgment about the future realization of deferred tax assets. SFAS 109 places more emphasis on historical information, such as the Company’s cumulative operating results and its current year results than it places on estimates of future taxable income. Therefore, the Company has added $13.0 million to its deferred tax asset (“DTA”) and valuation allowance in the first six months of 2007, resulting in a cumulative balance for both its DTA and valuation allowance of $75.1 million as of June 30, 2007. The DTA balance as of June 30, 2007 primarily consists of the Federal net operating loss (“NOL”), and also includes amounts for state NOLs, accrued compensation, and other DTAs which are not included in the Federal NOL. The Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance until evidence would support the conclusion that it is more likely than not that the DTA could be realized. On a gross basis (before valuation allowances), the Company had Federal NOL carry-forwards totaling $92.3 million as of December 31, 2006, which can be applied to future taxable income. Such loss carry-forwards have remaining lives ranging from 4 to 20 years.

     As of January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, which establishes guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 provides for a recognition threshold and measurement attribute as part of a two-step tax position evaluation process prescribed in FIN 48. The cumulative effect of $0.8 million for adopting FIN 48 is recorded in retained earnings as an adjustment to accumulated deficit in the opening balance as of January 1, 2007. This adjustment primarily relates to a protest filed in response to an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) assessment of the 2000 tax year and the effect in subsequent years. The appeal is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2007. Upon audit, $2.2 million of deductions for location rental expenditures was disallowed. The Company has been granted an appeal. The Company believes the $2.2 million was an ordinary and necessary business expense deductible pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (“I.R.C.”) §162. As part of the 2001 through 2003 tax year audits, the IRS has identified similar concerns regarding the location rental expenditure deductions taken by the Company. The Company believes the deductions taken were ordinary and necessary business expenses, deductible pursuant to I.R.C. §162. The Company has reserved for the portion of the potential settlement in years 2001 – 2003 that is not offset by NOLs.

     As of June 30, 2007, the Company had a FIN 48 liability balance of $2.0 million. Of this amount, $1.5 million represented unrecognized tax benefits, which if recognized at some point in the future would favorably impact the effective tax rate and $0.5 million is interest. The Company continues to treat interest and penalties due to a taxing authority on unrecognized tax positions as interest and penalty expense. As of June 30, 2007, the Company recorded $0.5 million of accrued interest and penalties in the statement of financial position. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2000 and state examinations for the years before 2003. The Company reasonably anticipates that as a result of audit settlements and statute closures over the next twelve months, the liability will be reduced through cash payments of approximately $1.0 million.

f. Equity Compensation

     We currently have several stock incentive plans that permit us to grant various types of share-based incentives to key employees, directors and consultants. The primary types of incentives granted under these plans are stock options and restricted shares of common stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may grant up to a maximum of 10,000,000 underlying shares of common stock under the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Option Plan”), and up to a maximum of 600,000 underlying shares of common stock under the Company’s Non-Employee Director Stock and Option Compensation Plan (the “Non-Employee Director Plan”). In November 1997, the Company established the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia LLC Nonqualified Class A LLC Unit/Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Option Plan”). The Company has an agreement with Martha Stewart whereby she periodically returns to the Company shares of Class B common stock owned by her or her affiliates in amounts corresponding on a net treasury basis to the number of options exercised

8

under the 1997 Option Plan during the relevant period. Accordingly, options outstanding under this plan are not dilutive. No further awards will be made from this plan.

     Effective January 1, 2006, non-cash compensation expense is measured under SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, using the modified prospective transition method, and includes non-cash compensation relating to grants issued prior to fiscal 2006.

     In consideration of the execution of a consulting agreement under which Mark Burnett, an influential producer of television programming, agreed to act as an advisor and consultant to the Company with respect to various television matters in September 2004, the Company issued to Mr. Burnett a warrant to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $12.59 per share. Under the initial agreement, the shares covered by the warrant would have vested and become exercisable in three tranches, subject to the achievement of various milestones achieved with respect to certain television programs. The first two tranches representing a total of 1,666,666 shares vested in 2005 and were exercised in 2006. However, under the terms of this warrant, the third tranche (i.e., 833,333 shares) did not vest. No shares remain eligible for issuance under this warrant.

     On August 11, 2006, in connection with Mr. Burnett’s continued services as executive producer of the syndicated daytime television show, The Martha Stewart Show, the Company issued an additional warrant to Mr. Burnett to purchase up to 833,333 shares at an exercise price of $12.59 per share, subject to vesting pursuant to certain performance criteria. During the first quarter of 2007, the portion of the warrant related to the clearance of season three of the syndicated show vested and was subsequently exercised. This vesting resulted in a charge of $5.6 million in the first quarter. Mr. Burnett exercised this portion of the warrant on a cashless basis, pursuant to which he acquired 154,112 shares and forfeited 262,555 shares based on the closing price of our Class A common stock of $19.98 the day prior to exercise. The remaining half of this warrant vested in July 2007 when the various milestones relating to the production of The Martha Stewart Show were achieved. This warrant will expire on March 17, 2012. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $0.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, in non-cash equity compensation related to this warrant. The non-cash equity compensation expense related to the vesting of the first tranche of the warrant was valued using the following average assumptions: risk-free interest rate – 5.06%; dividend yield – zero; expected volatility – 35.4%; contractual life – 5.13 years; average fair market value per option granted – $13.32. The non-cash equity compensation expense related to the amortization of the second tranche of the warrant was valued using the following average assumptions: risk-free interest rate – 4.64%; dividend yield – zero; expected volatility – 33.04%; contractual life – 4.72 years; average fair market value per option granted – $8.41.

     During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, the Company charged $0.9 million to non-cash equity compensation expense in connection with the accelerated vesting of certain equity awards pursuant to non-recurring employee-related separation agreements.

g. Reclassifications

     Certain prior year financial information has been reclassified to conform to fiscal 2007 financial statement presentation.

h. Other

     Production, distribution and editorial expenses; selling and promotion expenses; and general and administrative expenses are all presented exclusive of depreciation and amortization which is shown separately within “Operating Costs and Expenses.”

2. Newsstand Adjustment

     The Company has historically paid newsstand-related fees based in part on certain estimates provided by our distribution partner. In the second quarter of 2006, we questioned amounts related to a portion of these bills. As a result of our negotiations with our distributor, we reached a settlement agreement pursuant to which we received a one-time refund in the amount of $3.2 million. The refund was recorded as a reduction to the Publishing segment’s selling and promotion costs line on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. We also recorded interest income of $0.3 million related to the settlement.

9

3. Inventories

     Inventory is comprised of paper stock. The inventory balance at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $5.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

4. Loss per share

     Loss per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur from the exercise of stock options and warrants and the vesting of restricted stock.

     As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, antidilutive options, warrants, and restricted stock that are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive were 3,139,064 and 5,280,492 respectively.

5. Industry segments

     The Company is a leading creator of original how-to content and related products for homemakers and other consumers. The Company’s business segments are Publishing, Merchandising, Internet and Broadcasting. The Publishing segment primarily consists of the Company’s magazine operations, and also those related to its book operations. The Merchandising segment primarily consists of the Company’s operations related to the design of merchandise and related promotional and packaging materials that are distributed by its retail and manufacturing licensees in exchange for royalty income. The Internet segment consists of the advertising-supported website marthastewart.com, operations relating to direct-to-consumer floral business and sales of digital photo products. The Broadcasting segment primarily consists of the Company’s television production operations which produce television programming that airs in syndication and on cable, as well as the Company’s radio operations.

6. Related Party Transactions

     The Company currently has a consulting agreement with CAK Entertainment, Inc., an entity for which Mr. Charles Koppelman serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Koppelman was Chairman of the Board and a Director of the Company at the time of the agreement and thereafter. This October 2005 agreement superseded a previous consulting agreement with him, which was entered into while Mr. Koppelman was Vice Chairman and a Director. As of June 30, 2007, Mr. Koppelman has vested in 35% of the potential bonus compensation of this consulting agreement. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company and Mr. Koppelman agreed to amend the vesting conditions for a portion of the bonus compensation potentially payable to Mr. Koppelman and CAK Entertainment pursuant to the Company’s consulting agreement with CAK Entertainment. The amendment, attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this report, replaces a performance trigger tied to revenue goals with new performance criteria relating to adjusted EBITDA and acquisition goals. Additional details of the January 2005 and October 2005 agreements and a description of other related party transactions are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC Commission with respect to its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

7. Discontinued Operations

     In June 2002, the Company decided to exit The Wedding List, a wedding registry and gift business that was reported within the Internet business segment. In the second quarter of 2006, a review of the accrual of future lease commitments, net of anticipated sublease rental income, resulted in a charge of $0.4 million. The anticipated sublease income was determined by estimating future cash flows based upon current market conditions. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company signed a sublease. Based on the sublease agreement, as well as the additional reserve taken in the second quarter of 2006, we do not anticipate any further losses from discontinued operations. The loss from operations, which is generated primarily from facility related expenses, was as follows (in thousands):

     In this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” refer to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., and its subsidiaries.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

     We believe that our second quarter results demonstrate the continuing growth and diversification of the Company. In the quarter, the Company hired a President of Media, consolidating the positions of President, Publishing and President, Internet and centralizing sales and marketing across all media. We anticipate that this will allow the Company to focus on internet expansion and cross platform content and advertising opportunities. To that end, the Company also made a strategic decision to reallocate some of our long-term investment in Blueprint to our Internet segment. We continued to increase our advertising pages and rates in our magazines, entered into a five-year 10-book agreement with Clarkson Potter/Publishers and launched our introductory Martha Stewart Crafts line of paper-based crafting and storage products at Michaels arts and crafts stores.

Publishing Update. In the second quarter of 2007, we continued to benefit from an increase in advertising pages and rates across our magazines and, based on current trends, we expect to see continued year-over-year growth in this regard in the near-term. The Company announced an agreement with Clarkson Potter/Publishers to publish 10 books over a five-year period, beginning this fall with Martha Stewart Living Cookbook Volume I: The Original Classics and Martha Stewart Living Cookbook Volume II: The New Classics.

Merchandising Update. The Martha Stewart Collection exclusively at Macy’s and macys.com is currently rolling into stores and is expected to officially launch with an extensive marketing campaign later in the third quarter of 2007. The line encompasses a broad range of home goods, including bed and bath textiles, housewares, casual dinnerware, flatware and glassware, cookware, holiday decorating, and tree-trimming items.

     Earlier in the second quarter of 2007, we announced an agreement to sell a co-branded food line with Costco to focus on high-quality, high-volume fresh, frozen and refrigerated foods. We also announced a multiyear endorsement deal with U.S. affiliates of SVP Worldwide, makers of Singer, Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff sewing machines. Under the agreement, the Company will endorse and promote Singer, Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff sewing machines and accessories. Additionally, we will air demonstrations of the sewing products on The Martha Stewart Show periodically through the current and upcoming seasons.

     In the second quarter of 2007, we launched two retail programs: our Martha Stewart Colors paint program that is currently sold at over 1,400 Lowe’s home improvement stores nationwide, and our Martha Stewart Crafts line at more than 900 Michaels arts and crafts stores and on marthastewartcrafts.com.

     In the third quarter of 2007, we intend to expand our home decorating portfolio with the launches of Martha Stewart Floor Designs with FLOR, Martha Stewart Rugs and the portable lighting component of our Martha Stewart Lighting line.

Kmart Agreement. The Company’s agreement with Kmart provides for certain minimum guaranteed royalty payments. The minimum guarantees have and are expected to exceed actual royalties earned from retail sales through January 31, 2008 due to past store closings, lower same-store sales trends and decreased assortment of product categories. For the contract years ending January 31, 2009 and 2010, the minimum guarantees will be substantially lower than in prior years. The specific computation is discussed in the paragraph below. The following are the minimum guaranteed royalty payments (in millions) over the term of the agreement:

	1/31/02		1/31/03		1/31/04		1/31/05		1/31/06		1/31/07		1/31/08		1/31/09		1/31/10
Minimum Royalty Amounts	$	15.3	$	40.4	$	47.5	$	49.0	$	54.0	$	59.0	$	65.0	$	20.0	$	15.0

11

     For the year ending January 31, 2009, the minimum royalty amount is the greater of $20 million or 50% of the earned royalty for the year ending January 31, 2008. For the year ending January 31, 2010, the minimum royalty amount is the greater of $15 million or 50% of the earned royalty for the year ending January 31, 2009.

     For the year ended January 31, 2007, our royalty based on retail sales was $29.5 million. Furthermore, $10.0 million of royalties previously paid have been deferred and are subject to recoupment in the periods ending January 31, 2009 and January 31, 2010.

Internet Update. In the second quarter of 2007, we formally launched the re-designed website, marthastewart.com. We will continue to add content and optimize the site as part of our efforts to grow our online audience and share of the online advertising market.

Broadcasting Update. Upfront advertising sales are nearly complete for season three of The Martha Stewart Show, which will be broadcast in approximately 95% of markets nationwide. The Company recently announced a distribution deal with the DIY Network for a new half-hour series, The Martha Stewart Crafts TV show. Set to premiere in the fourth quarter of 2007, the initial 39 episodes will be culled from the Company’s original lifestyles series, Martha Stewart Living.

Subsequent Event. After the close of the quarter, we invested $10 million in an entity primarily funded by GTCR Golder Rauner, LLC that acquired Wilton Industries, Inc. and Dimensions Holdings, LLC. This entity, renamed Wilton Products, Inc. already owns EK Success. In connection with our investment in Wilton Products, we renegotiated the terms of our prior equity holdings and extended our license into the area of crafting associated with Wilton Industries, namely food crafts (such as cake decoration), party favors and celebrations.

     Publishing revenues increased $6.6 million, or 16%, to $47.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from $40.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Advertising revenue increased $5.2 million, primarily due to an increase in both advertising pages and rate in Martha Stewart Living magazine, which accounted for $3.2 million of the increase. Everyday Food and Body + Soul also contributed $1.5 million of the increase to advertising revenue due to increased pages and rate. Circulation revenue increased $0.6 million primarily due to a special issue of Martha Stewart Weddings published in 2007, with no comparable 2006 issue. Other revenue increased $0.8 million primarily due to the delivery of one book in the quarter related to the new 10-book agreement with Clarkson Potter/Publishers.

     Production, distribution and editorial expenses increased $1.7 million, primarily reflecting the higher physical costs associated with the increase in advertising pages and circulation of Martha Stewart Living. Selling and promotion expenses increased $5.6 million, primarily due to a favorable 2006 one-time newsstand expense reduction adjustment of $3.2 million related to the settlement of certain newsstand-related fees. Additionally, selling and promotion expenses increased due to a 2007 non-recurring, employee-related separation charge and higher compensation costs as well as higher marketing costs associated with Everyday Food. Included within the Publishing segment is a $2.0 million investment in Blueprint compared to an investment of $1.7 million in the prior year quarter.

The royalty rate under our agreement with Kmart increased approximately 3% on February 1, 2007. We expect the minimum guarantees will exceed actual royalties earned from retail sales through January 31, 2008 due to store closings, lower same-store sales trends and decreased assortment of product categories. For the contract years ending January 31, 2009 and 2010, the minimum guarantees will be substantially lower than prior years. Other revenue increased due to services we provided to our partners for creative services projects including KB Home model merchandising and other related projects. Other revenue also increased due to sales of Martha Stewart Crafts as well as other new initiatives.

Advertising revenue increased due to a greater number of product integrations at higher rates than in the prior year period, and an increase in advertising rates, partially offset by a decline in ratings. Licensing revenue decreased primarily due to the lack of distribution in the secondary cable market for season 2 of The Martha Stewart Show. Additionally, licensing revenue decreased due to the timing of season 2 international renewals as well as lower license fees from stations for season 2 compared to season 1.

     Production, distribution and editorial expenses increased $0.4 million due principally to non-cash charges associated with the vesting of a portion of a warrant granted in connection with the production of the syndicated TV program. These costs are partially offset by lower production costs for season 2 of The Martha Stewart Show compared to season 1. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million due to lower professional fees and the reduction of 2007 facility expenses due to the shutdown of the Connecticut television studios.

OTHER ITEMS

Interest Income, net. Interest income, net, was $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1.4 million for the prior year quarter.

The increase is partially offset by lower Special Interest Publication circulation revenue which included prior year subscription and newsstand revenue while the current period was newsstand only. Other revenue increased $1.2 million primarily due to the delivery of one book in the period related to the new 10-book agreement with Clarkson Potter/Publishers as well as the release of the book, Everyday Food: Great Food Fast.

The royalty rate under our agreement with Kmart increased approximately 3% on February 1, 2007.

For the contract years ending January 31, 2009 and 2010, the minimum guarantees will be substantially lower than prior years. We expect the minimum guarantees will exceed actual royalties earned from retail sales through January 31, 2008 primarily due to store closings, lower same-store sales trends and decreased assortment of product categories. Other revenue increased largely due to the execution of the endorsement and promotional agreement with U.S. affiliates of SVP Worldwide, makers of Singer, Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff sewing machines. Additionally, other revenue increased due to services we provided to our partners for creative services projects including KB Home model merchandising and other related projects. Sales of new initiatives including Martha Stewart Crafts contributed to other revenue as well.

Advertising revenue decreased slightly due to a decline in ratings partially offset by a greater number of product integrations at higher rates than in the prior year period, as well as an increase in advertising rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

     In the first half of 2007, we improved our overall liquidity by generating positive cash flow from operations. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $81.9 million and $63.8 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Our cash flow from operations largely benefited from the satisfaction of a year-end receivable due from Kmart in the amount of $38.2 million. We believe, as described further below, that our available cash balances and short-term investments together with continued positive cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating and recurring cash needs for 2007.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

     Cash flows provided by operating activities were $22.8 million and $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007, cash flow from operations was primarily due to the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $24.3 million, the majority of which was the result of the satisfaction of a year-end receivable due from Kmart. Operating assets and liabilities also benefited from an increase in deferred revenue as certain of our media deals have been pre-paid, partially offset by the increase in Publishing accounts receivable due to higher advertising sales across our publications.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

     Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were $(12.7) million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash flows used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2007 resulted from purchases of short-term investments of $(103.0) million and capital expenditures of $(2.7) million partially offset by sales of short-term investments of $93.0 million. Cash provided from operations as described above enabled the purchases of short-term investments and capital expenditures. Cash used for capital expenditures was due to the addition of a fractional ownership interest in a corporate aircraft and the continued investment in the website marthastewart.com.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

     Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were $(2.1) million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash flows used in financing activities were primarily due to the cash costs associated with remitting payroll related tax obligations associated with the vesting of certain restricted stock grants partially offset by proceeds received from exercise of stock options.

Other

     We also have a line of credit with Bank of America in the amount of $5.0 million, which is generally used to secure outstanding letters of credit. Under the terms of the credit agreement, the Company is required to satisfy certain debt covenants which we were compliant with as of June 30, 2007. We had no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of June 30, 2007. Of a total line of $5.0 million, we currently have letters of credit drawn on $2.1 million.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations

     Several of our businesses can experience fluctuations in quarterly performance. Our Publishing segment results can vary from quarter to quarter due to publication schedules. Revenues from our Merchandising segment can vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to new product launches and the seasonality of certain product lines. In addition, we recognize a substantial portion of the revenue resulting from the difference between the minimum royalty amount under the Kmart contract and royalties paid on actual sales in the fourth quarter of each year, when the amount can be determined. In our Internet segment, revenue from marthastewartflowers.com is tied to key holidays during the year, while advertising revenue on marthastewart.com is tied to traffic among other key factors and is typically highest in the fourth quarter of the year. Advertising revenue from our Broadcasting segment is highly dependent on ratings which fluctuate throughout the television season following general viewer trends. Ratings tend to be highest during the fourth quarter and lowest in the summer months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

     We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General

     Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, deferred production costs, long-lived assets and accrued losses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

     We believe that, of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve the highest degree of judgment and complexity.

Revenue Recognition

     We recognize revenues when realized or realizable and earned. Revenues and associated accounts receivable are recorded net of provisions for estimated future returns, doubtful accounts and other allowances.

     The Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus in May 2003 on Issue No. 0021, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”) which became effective for revenue arrangements entered into in the third quarter of 2003. In an arrangement with multiple deliverables, EITF 00-21 provides guidance to determine a) how the arrangement consideration should be measured, b) whether the arrangement should be divided into separate units of accounting, and c) how the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. The Company has applied the guidance included in EITF 00-21 in establishing revenue recognition policies for its arrangements with multiple deliverables. For agreements with multiple deliverables, if the Company is unable to put forth vendor specific objective evidence required under EITF 00-21 to determine the fair value of each deliverable, then the Company will account for the deliverables as a combined unit of accounting rather than separate units of accounting.

     Publishing advertising revenue is recorded upon release of magazines for sale to consumers and is stated net of agency commissions and cash and sales discounts. Subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the subscription as issues are delivered. Newsstand revenues in our Publishing segment are recognized based upon assumptions with respect to future returns. We base our estimates on our historical experience and current market conditions. Reserves are adjusted regularly based upon actual results. We maintain allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers or licensing counterparties to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers or licensing counterparties were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required. Licensing based revenue, most of which are in our Merchandising segment, are accrued on a monthly basis based on the specific terms of each contract. Under certain agreements, revenue is accrued based on actual sales while others contain minimum guarantees that are earned evenly over the fiscal year. Revenue related to our agreement with Kmart is recorded on a monthly basis based on actual retail sales, until the last period of the year, when we recognize a substantial majority of the true-up between the minimum royalty amount and royalties paid on actual sales, when such amounts are determinable. Payments are generally made by our partners on a quarterly basis. Internet advertising revenues are generally based on the sale of impression-based advertisements, which are recorded in the period in which the advertisements are delivered. Television advertising revenues are recorded when the related commercial is aired and is recorded net of agency commission, estimated reserves for television audience underdelivery and distribution fees. Television royalties are recorded as earned in accordance with specific terms of each agreement.

Income taxes

     The Company follows the SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized for the future costs and benefits attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company periodically reviews the requirements for a valuation allowance and makes adjustments to such allowances when changes in circumstances result in changes in management’s judgment about the future realization of deferred tax assets. SFAS 109 places more emphasis on historical information, such as the Company’s cumulative operating results and its current year results than it places on estimates of future taxable income.

     As of January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, which provides guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold which a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It further provides guidance on derecognition and measurement of tax positions. Disclosure requirements under this guidance includes a rollforward of the beginning and ending unrecognized tax benefits as well as specific detail related to tax uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within a year. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. See Note 1(e) to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the adoption of FIN 48.

Television production costs

     Television production costs are capitalized and amortized based upon estimates of future revenues to be received and future costs to be incurred for the applicable television product. The Company bases its estimates on existing contracts for programs, historical advertising rates and ratings as well as market conditions. Estimated future revenues and costs are adjusted regularly based upon actual results and changes in market and other conditions.

Intangible assets

     A substantial portion of our intangible assets is goodwill. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. All of the Company’s goodwill is attributable to certain magazines in its Publishing segment. We perform an annual review in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the carrying value of the recorded goodwill is impaired. Our impairment review process compares the fair value of the reporting unit in which the goodwill resides to its carrying value.

Long-Lived Assets

     We review the carrying values of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable. Unforeseen events and changes in circumstances and market conditions and material differences in the value of long-lived assets due to changes in estimates of future cash flows could negatively affect the fair value of our assets and result in an impairment charge.

Advertising Cost

     Advertising costs, consisting primarily of direct-response advertising, are expensed in the period in which the advertising effort takes place.

Non-cash Equity Compensation

     We currently have several stock incentive plans that permit us to grant various types of share-based incentives to key employees, directors and consultants. The primary types of incentives granted under these plans are restricted shares of common stock and stock options. Restricted shares are valued at the market value of traded shares on the date of grant, while stock options are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires numerous assumptions, including expected volatility of our stock price and expected life of the option.

25

Deferred Income Tax Asset Valuation Allowance

     We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred income tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our operating results, ongoing tax planning and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. Our cumulative pre-tax loss in the three most recent fiscal years represents sufficient negative evidence for us to determine that the establishment of a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset is appropriate. This valuation allowance offsets deferred tax assets associated with future tax deductions as well as carryforward items. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes. See Note 1(e), “Income Taxes” in the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Forward-looking Statements and Risk Factors

     This Quarterly Report includes certain “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could”, “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those projected in these statements, and factors that could cause such differences include the following among others:

o adverse reactions to publicity relating to Martha Stewart by consumers, advertisers and business partners;

o a loss of the services of Ms. Stewart;

o a loss of the services of other key personnel;

o failure to predict, respond to and influence trends in consumer taste;

o loss or failure of merchandising and licensing programs;
