Note 4—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to all classes of common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

Finally, the Company and its subsidiaries agreed not to carry back any net operating losses, capital losses or credits for any taxable period ending after September 14, 2009 to a taxable period ending on or before September 14, 2009 unless required by applicable law, in which case any refund of taxes attributable to such carry back shall be for the account of IDT Corporation.
Note 8 – Impairment and Severance Charges
In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the following events and circumstances indicated that the fair value of certain of the Company’s reporting units may be below their carrying value: (1) a significant adverse change in the business climate, (2) operating losses of reporting units, and (3) significant revisions to internal forecasts. The Company measured the fair value of its reporting units by discounting their estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The carrying value including goodwill of CTM and IDW exceeded their estimated fair values; therefore additional steps were performed for these reporting units to determine whether an impairment of goodwill was required. As a result of this analysis, in the three and six months ended January 31, 2009, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $29.7 million in CTM and $1.8 million in IDW, which reduced the carrying amount of the goodwill in each of these reporting units to zero.
In the three and six months ended January 31, 2009 the Company recorded restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, consisting primarily of severance related to a company-wide cost savings program and reduction in force.
Note 9 – Tender Offer

On December 17, 2009, the Company further extended the expiration date of the tender offer.stock. The Company offered to purchase up to 0.4 million shares of its Class A common stock, or any lesser number of Class A shares that stockholders properly tender inconcluded the tender offer and up to 2.4 million shares of its Class B common stock, or any lesser number of Class B shares that stockholders properly tender in the tender offer, representing up to thirty percent of its total outstanding capital stock, at a price per share of $1.10, for a maximum aggregate purchase price of $3.1 million. The tender offer was made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 17, 2009, and the related Letter of Transmittal, each as amended and supplemented, which have been filed with the SEC and were made available to the Company’s stockholders. The offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, December 22, 2009.

Note 11— Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In September 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by theThe Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. We have reviewed the recently issued pronouncements and concluded that no new standards were issued this quarter that applied to the authoritative hierarchy of U.S. GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP for all non-governmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification did not change or alter existing U.S. GAAP. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On August 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard relating to noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This standard clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which was previously referred to as a minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Also, this standard requires consolidated net income (loss) to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest, and it requires disclosure of the amounts of net income (loss) attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. Finally, this standard requires increases and decreases in the noncontrolling ownership interest amount to be accounted for as equity transactions, and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of a subsidiary will be measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of the retained investment. As required by this standard, the Company retrospectively changed the classification and presentation of noncontrolling interests in its financial statements for all prior periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In January 2010, the FASB amended the accounting standard relating to noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements (1) to address implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions of the standard and (2) to expand the disclosures about the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets within the scope of the standard. These amendments were effective for the Company when they were issued by the FASB. The adoption of the amendments to this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. These changes include (a) eliminating the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”), (b) clarifying and amending the de-recognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale, (c) amending and clarifying the unit of account eligible for sale accounting, and (d) requiring that a transferor initially measure at fair value and recognize all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Additionally, on and after the effective date, existing QSPEs must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. These changes also require enhanced disclosures about, among other things, (a) a transferor’s continuing involvement with transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales, (b) the risks inherent in the transferred financial assets that have been retained, and (c) the nature and financial effect of restrictions on the transferor’s assets that continue to be reported in the statement of financial position. The Company is required to adopt these changes on August 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these changes on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”) including amending the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The changes also require continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. The Company is required to adopt these changes on August 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these changes on its consolidated financial statementsCompany.
In January 2010, the FASB amendedissued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”), which is included in the accounting standard relating to fair value measurements primarily to improve the disclosures about fair value measurements in financial statements. The main provisions of the amendment requireASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures about (1)on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of the three levels of theLevel 1 and 2 fair value hierarchymeasurements. ASU 2010-06 also requires disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and (2) activitysettlements within the Level 3 of the hierarchy. In addition, the amendment clarifies existing disclosures about (1) the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements (2)and clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniquestechniques. Except for otherwise provided, ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and inputs usedannual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this standa rd did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Amendments to measure fair value,Certain Recognition and (3) postretirement benefit plan assets. The Company wasDisclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”), which is included in ASC Topic 855 (Subsequent Events). ASU 2010-09 clarifies that an SEC filer is required to adopt these changes to its disclosures about fair value measurements on February 1, 2010, except for certainevaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2010-09 was effective upon the issuance of the disclosures about the activity within Level 3, which are required to be adopted on August 1, 2011. The Company doesfinal update and did not expect the adoption of these changes to its disclosures about fair value measurements to have anany impact on itsthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.statements.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
We have the following two reportable business segments: CTM IDW and WMET.IDW.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods reflect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as if the current structure existed for all periods presented. The financial statements have been prepared using the historical basis for the assets and liabilities and results of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).States. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009.2010. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our critical accounting policies include those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets including intangible assets with finite useful lives. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2009.2010.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We evaluate the performance of our operating business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations. Accordingly, the income and expense line items below income (loss) from operations are only included in our discussion of the consolidated results of operations. Also, we did not include a separate discussion of WMET’s result of operation since the operations are not significant.

Revenues.The decreaseincrease in consolidated revenues in the three months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2009 was primarily due to a marginal increase in CTM revenues of $0.1 million and an increase in IDW revenues of $0.3 million. Revenues at our IDW segment increased as a result of increases in publishing revenues of $0.3 million and Digital and Creative Services revenue of $0.1 million which were partially offset by a decline in Licensing and Royalty Revenues of $0.1 million. The marginal increase in CTM revenues was primarily due to better economic conditions in the current fiscal period compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.

Direct Cost of Revenues. Direct Cost of Consolidated Revenues in the three months ended October 31, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to the decrease in CTM revenues. The decrease in CTM revenues was primarily due to the global economic slowdown in our distribution and printing businesses. Some of CTM’s distribution customers rely on state and local funding or grants which have been decreased or eliminated, resulting in reduced advertising and customer spending and, in some cases, certain of our customers going out of business. The decrease in consolidated revenues in the six months ended January 31, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to the decrease in CTM revenues, partially offset by an increase in IDW revenues. The increase in IDW revenues was primarily the result of an increase in titles sold from fourth quarter comic book movie releases that continued to have an impact on first quarter revenues.

The Local Pull product is still being offered by CTM, however the business model has been reworked and Local Pull is being marketed through outsourced channels which is more cost effective for us. Total selling, general and administrative expenses for these exited businesses was $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2009. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended January 31, 2010 compared to the similar period in fiscal 2009 was offset by increased expenses from costs associated with operating as a publicly traded company.

Impairment and Severance Charges. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the following events and circumstances indicated that the fair value of certain of our reporting units may be below their carrying value: (1) a significant adverse change in the business climate, (2) operating losses of reporting units, and (3) significant revisions to internal forecasts. We measured the fair value of our reporting units by discounting their estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. The carrying value including goodwill of CTM and IDW exceeded their estimated fair values; therefore additional steps were performed for these reporting units to determine whether an impairment of goodwill was required. As a result of this analysis, in the three and six months ended January 31, 2009, we recorded goodwill impairment of $29.7 million in CTM and $1.8 million in IDW, which reduced the carrying amount of the goodwill in each of these reporting units to zero. In the three and six months ended January 31, 2009 we recorded restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, consisted primarily of severance related to a company-wide cost savings program and reduction in force.(in millions) | | Three Months ended January 31, | | | Change | | Six Months ended January 31, | | | Change |

The most significant declines have been in our New York market, due to the weakness in Broadway show advertising, followed by the Mid-West and Florida. Some of CTM’s distribution customers rely on state and local funding or grants which have been decreased or eliminated resulting in reduced advertising and customer spending. We are beginning to see positive signs of a gradual recovery in our business such that we expect revenues beginning withrevenues.

Additionally, there was an increase in gasoline and payroll costs during the three and six months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2010.2009.

In an effort to increase availability of versions of its content at retail outlets, IDW has entered into a number of digital distribution agreements thisover the past calendar year, and IDW’s publications are currently available for purchase via mobile phones, primarily iPhones/iPod Touch. Various IDW titles are also available direct-to-desktop via several websites and are available on Sony’s PSP and PSP Go.Go gaming devices.
Historically, we satisfied our cash requirements primarily through cash provided by CTM’s operating activities and funding from IDT.IDT Corporation.
We intend to, where appropriate, make strategic investments and acquisitions to complement, expand, and/or enter into new businesses. In considering acquisitions and investments, we search for opportunities to profitably grow our existing businesses, to add qualitatively to the range of businesses in our portfolio and to achieve operational synergies. Historically, such acquisitions have not exceeded $0.5 million, with the average acquisition being less than $0.1 million. If we were to pursue an acquisition in excess of $0.5 million we would likely need to secure financing arrangements. At this time, we cannot guarantee that we will be presented with acquisition opportunities that meet our return on investment criteria, or that our efforts to make acquisitions that meet our criteria will be successful.
Historically, we satisfied our cash requirements primarily through cash provided by CTM’s operating activities and funding from IDT.IDT Corporation. The conversion of our balance due to IDT Corporation into a capital contribution as well as the $2.0 million cash contribution by IDT in September 2009 significantly improved our working capital balance. We do not currently have any material debt obligations. With the exit of certain lines of businesses within CTM, we expect that our operations in fiscal 20102011 and the balance of cash, cash equivalents and short term investment that we held as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2010, will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements, capital lease obligations, make limited acquisitions and investments, pay the currently announced and any future declared dividends and fund any potential operating cash flow deficits within any of our segments for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we anticipate that our expected cash balances, as well as cash flows from our operations, will be sufficient to meet our long-term liquidity needs. The foregoing is based on a number of assumptions, including that we will collect on our receivables, effectively manage our working capital requirements, and maintain our revenue levels and liquidity. Predicting these matters is particularly difficult in the current worldwide economic situation and overall decline in consumer demand. Failure to generate sufficient revenues and operating income could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We do not have any “off-balance sheet arrangements,” as defined in relevant SEC regulations that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
