Announced Merger
On December 22, 2008, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Sina Corporation (“SINA”) to sell substantially all of the assets of Focus Media’s digital out-of-home advertising networks, including the LCD display network, poster frame network and certain in-store network. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and certain regulatory approvals. Currently, the transaction is still undergoing antitrust review by the Department of Commerce of China. If the anti-trust approval is not received by the end of September 2009, several options will be evaluated between both parties, including an extension of the closing deadline for this transaction and altering the deal structure. Under the terms of the agreement, upon closing, SINA will issue 47 million newly issued ordinary shares to the Company as consideration for the acquired assets. The Company will then distribute the SINA shares to its shareholders shortly after the closing.
Planned restructuring in continuing operations
We plan to restructure continuing operations and dispose part of subsidiaries in our Internet division and traditional outdoor billboard network division in the third quarter of 2009.
2009 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
The Company announced that it scheduled to hold its annual general meeting of shareholders of 2009 on December 21, 2009.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to Focus Media’s consolidated financial results under GAAP, the Company also provides non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per fully diluted ADS, all excluding non-cash share-based compensation, acquired intangible asset amortization expense resulting from acquisitions, impairment charges of goodwill, acquired intangible assets and fixed assets. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with another method for assessing Focus Media’s operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results on a stand-alone basis or as a substitute for results under GAAP, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies, and should refer to the reconciliation of GAAP results with non-GAAP results in the attached financial information. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the performance of Focus Media and when planning and forecasting future periods. The Company computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation between these financial measures.
