WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549
CHINA MASS MEDIA CORP.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 6-K/A amends the Form 6-K of China Mass Media Corp. (the “Company”) furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2010, including the Company’s press release and the unaudited financial results as of September 30, 2009 and for the three months ended September 30, 2009 (the “2009 Third Quarter Press Release”).
In the 2009 Second Quarter Press Release, the Company’s results for the three months ended June 30, 2009 included RMB 14.6 million of special events services revenue (“2009 Special Events Revenue”). This related to the ad hoc sales and marketing support services for advertisements broadcast on China Central Television (“CCTV”) Channels 1 and 2 that were provided by the Company to CCTV during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games under a general framework agreement. The fees for such services were determined on a case-by-case basis by CCTV based on its evaluation of the Group’s performance. The Company generally receives a certain percentage of the total advertising revenue, as determined by CCTV at its discretion, that CCTV earned on Channels 1 and 2 during such special event. CCTV generally settles such service revenue by sending a confirmation to the Company that CCTV agrees to reduce the Company’s accounts payable balance to CCTV by the amount of such fees. The Company recorded its special event services revenue for its services provided to CCTV during 2004 Athens Olympic Games and 2006 FIFA World Cup when the relevant confirmation was received in 2005 and 2007, respectively.
During the preparation of its unaudited financial results as of June 30, 2009 and for the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company was notified by CCTV’s Advertising Department that a report was prepared by CCTV’s Advertising Department in June 2009 and submitted to the senior management of CCTV for approval of the fee to the Company for its services provided during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Based on the Company’s historical experience, CCTV’s senior management typically approved the recommendations contained in the report prepared by the CCTV’s Advertising Department. The Company therefore recognized the 2009 Special Events Revenue in June 2009. Since the submission, the Company has been working with CCTV to obtain the final confirmation and payment of the 2009 Special Events Revenue. However, the Company has still not received the final confirmation as of the date of this Form 6-K/A.
After consideration of, among other factors, such as the need to submit its annual report on Form 20-F in as timely a manner as possible, the Company’s regular communications with CCTV and the fact that a significant amount of time and effort had been spent in those communications, the Company has determined that the timing and likelihood of approval of the 2009 Special Events Revenue remains uncertain as of the date of this Form 6-K/A and the requirements for recognizing such revenue in the consolidated statement of operations under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition”, were not met. Therefore, the Company has decided to reverse the 2009 Special Events Revenue and related sales bonus of RMB 2.0 million, which had been paid based on a preliminary assessment, in the relevant period covered by the 2009 Second Quarter Press Release.
On May 22, 2010, the Company’s board of directors declared the distribution of a dividend in the form of new fully paid ordinary shares (“New Shares”) at the rate of one New Share for every 10 then existing issued ordinary shares held by any shareholder whose name appeared on the register of members of the Company at the close of business on June 16, 2010. The New Shares so issued rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing issued ordinary shares. The number of options and the exercise price of all options issued and outstanding has been adjusted to prevent dilution caused by this share dividend to holders of share options as approved by the Company’s board of directors.
In accordance with the guidance in ASC 260-10-55-12, “Earnings Per Share”, the Company has retroactively adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented to reflect this share dividend.
As a result, the accompanying unaudited financial results have been revised from the amounts previously reported for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The amounts under the heading “As Previously Reported” reflect the originally reported results. The amounts under the heading “Revised” reflect the Company’s revised results after these adjustments. The adjustments do not impact the financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2009. However, they affect certain balances in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, management discussion and analysis and the comparative figures as disclosed in the accompanying unaudited financial information. A summary of the significant effects of the revisions is as follows:

CHINA MASS MEDIA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2009
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS
BEIJING, CHINA — (December 7, 2009) — China Mass Media Corp. (NYSE: CMM), a leading media company in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Third Quarter 2009 Highlights1
§ | Total net revenues were RMB 80.7 million (US$ 11.8 million), an increase of 10.4% from the third quarter 2008 and a sequential increase of 26.2% from the second quarter 2009. |
§ | Operating income was RMB 3.7 million (US$ 0.5 million), a decrease of 80.4% from RMB 18.6 million in the third quarter of 2008, and a sequential increase compared with an operating loss of RMB 14.6 million in the second quarter 2009. |
§ | Net income was RMB 4.0 million (US$ 0.6 million), a decrease of 76.8% from the third quarter of 2008 and a sequential increase compared with the net loss of RMB 9.2 million from the second quarter of 2009. |
§ | During the third quarter 2009, cash flow used in operating activities was RMB 396.7 million (US$ 58.1 million), cash flow used in investing activities was RMB 49.5 million (US$ 7.3 million), and there was no cash flow from financing activities, so cash and cash equivalents decreased by RMB 446.3 million (US$ 65.4 million) during the third quarter. |
Mr. Shengcheng Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Mass Media, said, “the third quarter was extremely busy and full of changes. We embraced the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China along with the resumption of higher growth rates in our economy. We were very pleased to see robust demand in the advertising market during the quarter, especially in September. That strength has continued into the fourth quarter of the year.
The marketing adjustments we put in place have paid off. Our “Day Time Advertising Package” on CCTV sold well, as did sales of our advertising time slots on CCTV’s “Television Guide” channel, and on CCTV−4 programs, largely due to our winning a large number of new clients.
1 The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release are presented solely for the convenience of the reader. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this release is based on the exchange rate set forth in the statistical release issued by the Federal Reserve Board on September 30, 2009, which was RMB6.8262 to US$1.00. The percentages stated are calculated based on RMB.
CCTV’s prime time advertisement auction and bidding session for 2010, which was held in November 2009, raised nearly RMB 10.97 billion, an 18.5 percent increase from RMB 9.26 billion in 2009. While we are confident in the economic outlook for 2010, the intense bidding reflected China's rebounding economy and the huge demand in the advertising market. Several of our clients participated in and won ideal time slots through our services.
CCTV also initiated their open bidding process to sell advertising time slots to advertising agency companies using a new wholesale contracting system. We won the “Periodic China News Package” on CCTV−4 at a reasonable price. Our media resources in 2010, therefore, include our “Day Time Advertising Package”, the “Periodic China News Package,” advertising time slots on CCTV’s “Television Guide,” and public service announcement sponsorship opportunities.
Starting in 2009, CCTV initiated a series of reforms to improve its advertising operations. As a part of the reform, CCTV will bring their sales and marketing efforts in−house for the Chinese New Year Gala program, for which we worked as the exclusive advertising agent for several years. We will continue to provide support to CCTV for this event, but we do not expect it to be a significant source of revenue in 2010.
We plan to continue to further strengthen our production and client services. As brand advisors for our various clients, we will expand our integrated services to provide one−stop comprehensive solutions for our clients. By leveraging our unique public service announcement program and advertising platform on CCTV, we believe we can further improve our production and public services advertising, which can help our clients increase the awareness of public welfare and social responsibilities from a unique angle.
Right after the CCTV auction, we started the pre−sales of our 2010 media resources to win a large share of our clients’ 2010 advertising budgets. We expect to continue to grow through this kind of organic growth and possibly through careful, logical, and financially prudent acquisitions.”
Mr. Eric Cheung, Chief Financial Officer of China Mass Media, added, “Effective implementation of our expanded marketing strategy led to the strong sequential increase in revenues from advertising agency services. We are beginning to see strong demand for 2010, and expect to benefit from the strong growth in China’s expanding economy. We believe that our strengthened sales force and market position will allow us to take advantage of the growth in advertising demand.”
Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Revenues from Advertising Agency Services were RMB 79.8 million (US$ 11.7 million) in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of 13.0% from RMB 70.7 million in the third quarter of 2008, and a sequential increase of 29.1% from RMB 61.8 million in the second quarter of 2009.
In the third quarter 2009, advertising agency services revenues increased 13.0% from the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to securing new advertisers and producing higher revenues from advertisements on “Day Time Advertising Package” and on “Television Guide”. In August 2008, the “Day Time Advertising Package” and “Television Guide” programs were suspended for 16 days due to live broadcasting of the Olympic Games by CCTV, which led to a decline in revenues generated from these two programs in the third quarter 2008.
Comparing sequentially with the second quarter 2009, advertising agency services revenues increased 29.1% in the third quarter 2009 due to securing more clients’ advertising expenditures and producing higher revenues from advertisements on “Day Time Advertising Package”, on “Television Guide,” on “First News” and on CCTV−4 programs. With higher growth rates resuming in the Chinese economy and the coming traditional peak advertising seasons in China for September and October, many advertisers were willing to increase their budgets to improve the market awareness of their products. Through our enlarged sales team, the company has been able to secure more customers across various industry sectors, including household appliances, consumer goods, and pharmaceutical products.
Revenues from special events services: There were no special events in the third quarter 2009 or in the third quarter 2008, so no revenues occurred in those quarters.
Revenues from production and sponsorship services were RMB 2.8 million (US$ 0.4 million) in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of 45.3% from RMB 5.2 million in the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to lower revenues from public service announcements sponsorship services. Sequentially, revenues from production and sponsorship services in the third quarter 2009 decreased 1.7% from RMB 2.9 million in the second quarter of 2009.
Operating costs and expenses
Cost of revenues was RMB 65.1 million (US$ 9.5 million) in the third quarter 2009, an increase of 36.4% from RMB 47.7 million in the third quarter 2008, primarily due to higher media resource underwriting costs for CCTV−4. The cost of revenues sequentially increased 1.2% from RMB 64.4 million in the second quarter 2009.
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB 3.9 million (US$ 0.6 million) in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of 96.1% from RMB 2.0 million in the third quarter of 2008, due primarily to increased salaries and other compensation for additional sales employees. Sales and marketing expenses increased sequentially by 20.4% from RMB 3.2 million in the second quarter 2009, mainly due to the increase in commission paid during the third quarter following higher revenues from advertising agency services.
General and administrative expenses were RMB 8.0 million (US$ 1.2 million) in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of 69.2% from RMB 4.7 million in the third quarter of 2008, mainly due to additional expenses incurred as a U.S. publicly listed company, including legal and independent auditors’ fees and the cost of compliance with the Sarbanes−Oxley Act of 2002, and higher salaries.
General and administrative expenses decreased sequentially 26.3% in the third quarter 2009 from RMB 10. 9 million in the second quarter 2009 mainly due to a decrease in the provision for bad debt from RMB 3.5 million to RMB 0.4 million.
Operating income, as a result of the foregoing factors, was RMB 3.7 million (US$ 0.5 million) in the third quarter 2009, down 80.4% compared with operating income of RMB 18.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. Operating income sequentially increased to RMB 3.7 million in the third quarter 2009 from an operating loss of RMB 14.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. The operating margin was 4.5% in the third quarter 2009, a negative 22.8% in the second quarter 2009, and 25.5% in the third quarter 2008.
Net income was RMB 4.0 million (US$ 0.6 million) in the third quarter 2009, a decrease of 76.8% from RMB 17.4 million in the third quarter 2008 and a sequential increase from net loss of RMB 9.2 million in the second quarter 2009. Net profit margin was 5.0% in the third quarter 2009, negative 14.4% in the second quarter 2009, and 23.8% in the third quarter 2008.
Basic and diluted earnings per ADS for the third quarter of 2009 was RMB 0.15 (US$ 0.02) per ADS, compared with RMB 0.74 per ADS in the third quarter 2008. The loss per ADS in second quarter 2009 was RMB 0.35 per ADS. Each ADS represents 30 ordinary shares of the company.
Cash and cash equivalents
As of September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB 680.6 million (US$99.7 million) compared with RMB 1,126.9 million at June 30, 2009. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to cash used in operating activities and the purchase of certain investment products issued by state−owned banks classified as short−term investments.
Financial Outlook
The Company currently expects to generate total net revenues of RMB 95 million to RMB 105 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. The range results in a potential increase of 22.6% to 35.5% as compared with the fourth quarter of 2008 and a potential sequential increase of 17.7% to 30.1% compared with the third quarter of 2009. This forecast reflects the company’s current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
In addition to the unaudited consolidated financial information presented in accordance with US GAAP, management uses a non−GAAP measure of operating income and net income excluding non−cash share−based compensation. Company management believes excluding the share−based compensation expenses from non−GAAP financial measures is useful for the investors’ understanding of overall current financial performance. Nevertheless, the limitation of using non−GAAP financial measures excluding share−based compensation expenses is that share−based compensation expenses have been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business. The presentation of the non−GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP. For more information on these non−GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliations of unaudited non−GAAP results of operations measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures” set forth above, which shall be read in conjunction with the preceding financial information presented in accordance with US GAAP.
