Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of
PRIMEDIA Inc.
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of PRIMEDIA Enthusiast Media (the “Company”), consisting of certain indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PRIMEDIA Inc., as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of combined income and combined cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PRIMEDIA Enthusiast Media as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 to the combined financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, effective January 1, 2006.
As discussed in Note 1, the accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared from the separate records maintained by PRIMEDIA Enthusiast Media and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or results of operations if the Company had been operated as an independent entity. Portions of certain expenses represent allocations made from corporate level items applicable to PRIMEDIA Inc. as a whole.

PRIMEDIA ENTHUSIAST MEDIA
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
PRIMEDIA Enthusiast Media (the “Company” or “PEM”) is a combination of certain legal entities that are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of PRIMEDIA Inc. (“PRIMEDIA”). The Company operates in one segment and produces and distributes content through magazines and via the internet to consumers in various niche and enthusiast markets. Trade, Retail, and Consumer events further enhance customer continuity. The legal entities that comprise PEM are PRIMEDIA Holdings III, Inc., PRIMEDIA Enterprises, Enthusiast Media Subscription Co., Inc., PRIMEDIA Leisure Group and Automotive.com, Inc. (the “Companies”).
PRIMEDIA Enthusiast Media Products:
Category | | Publications | | Websites | | Events | |
Automotive | | 56 | | 62 | | 51 | |
Recreation | | 14 | | 19 | | 13 | |
Lifestyles | | 6 | | 9 | | 1 | |
| | | | | | | |
Total | | 76 | | 90 | | 65 | |
The combined financial statements include the accounts of the companies. All intra-company accounts and transactions within and between the Companies have been eliminated. All accounts representing payables and receivables between the Companies and other PRIMEDIA companies have been reclassified to parent company investment. The accompanying combined financial statements include allocations of certain assets, liabilities and expenses relating to shared services and administrative functions incurred at the corporate level of PRIMEDIA (see Note 17). The Company believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocations of these items from PRIMEDIA are reasonable. However, such expenses are not indicative of, nor is it practical or meaningful for management to estimate for all historical periods presented, the actual level of expenses that might have been incurred had the Company been operating as an independent company. Therefore, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are not necessarily indicative of what it would have achieved as an independent company.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk. Substantially all of the Company’s trade receivables are from subscription and advertising customers located throughout the United States. The Company establishes its credit policies based on an ongoing evaluation of its customers’ credit worthiness and competitive market conditions and establishes its allowance for doubtful accounts based on an assessment of exposures to credit losses at each balance sheet date. The Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient based on the credit exposures outstanding at December 31, 2006.
Inventories. Inventories, including purchased articles, are valued at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis.
F-7
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment, including the amortization of leasehold improvements, is provided at rates based on the estimated useful lives or lease terms, if shorter, using the straight-line method. Improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized and are subject to impairment tests, at least annually. The Company does not amortize goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets (primarily trademarks).
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment, and has established October 31 as the annual impairment test date, using a fair value approach. Intangible assets with a finite life will continue to be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. See Note 8 for further discussion on SFAS No. 142.
Long-Lived Assets. Whenever significant events or changes occur, such as those affecting general market conditions or pertaining to a specific industry or an asset category, the Company reviews the long-lived assets for impairment. When such factors, events or circumstances indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the remaining lives of the assets to measure recoverability. If the estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds fair value.
Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using tax rates anticipated to be in effect when temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities reverse. Although the Company has historically been included in PRIMEDIA’s consolidated tax returns, the income tax provision is calculated based on the Company’s stand-alone combined financial statements and tax attributes, and tax accounts are given separate recognition on the balance sheets.
Management has determined that the Company is not likely to realize the income tax benefit of its net deferred tax assets. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, amortization of tax deductible goodwill and trademarks ceased on January 1, 2002. Therefore, the Company will have deferred tax liabilities that will arise each quarter because the taxable temporary differences related to the amortization of these assets will not reverse prior to the expiration period of the Company’s deductible temporary differences unless the related assets are sold or an impairment of the assets is recorded. The Company continues to record a valuation allowance in excess of its net deferred tax assets to the extent these differences between the book and tax basis of indefinite lived intangible assets are not expected to reverse during the net operating loss carry-forward period.
Stock-Based Compensation. Certain employees of the Company have been granted stock options to purchase PRIMEDIA common stock. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS
F-8
No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”, under the prospective method. Upon adoption, the Company began expensing the fair value of stock-based compensation for all grants, modifications or settlements made on or after January 1, 2003. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123—revised 2004 (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payment”, which replaced SFAS No. 123. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company elected the modified prospective transition method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The modified prospective transition method requires recognition of compensation expense from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied as if the fair-value-based accounting method had been used to account for all employees awards granted, modified, or settled after the effective date and to any awards that were not fully vested as of the effective date. See Note 12 for further information.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Advertising revenues are recognized based on the publications’ on-sale dates, net of provisions for estimated rebates, adjustments and discounts. Online advertising is recognized as advertisements are run. Newsstand sales are recognized as revenue at the on-sale date for all publications, net of provisions for estimated returns. Subscriptions are recorded as deferred revenue when received and recognized as revenue over the term of the subscription. Sales of books and other items are recognized as revenue upon shipment, net of an allowance for returns. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs,” distribution costs charged to customers are recognized as revenue when the related product is shipped. The Company also derives revenue from various licensing agreements, which grant the licensee rights to use the trademarks and brand names of the Company in connection with the manufacture and sale of certain designated products. Licensing revenue is recognized by the Company pro-rata over the life of the license agreement or as licensed products are sold. Revenues related to trade shows and exhibitions are recognized when the event is held.
Barter Transactions. The Company trades advertisements in its traditional and online properties in exchange for trade show space and booths, advertising in properties of other companies and distribution related expenses. Revenue and related expenses from barter transactions are recorded at fair value in accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin (“APB”) No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”, EITF No. 93-11, “Accounting for Barter Transactions Involving Barter Credits”, EITF No. 99-17, “Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions”, and EITF 01-2, “Interpretations of APB No. 29”. Revenue from barter transactions is recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies. Expense from barter transactions is generally recognized as incurred. Revenue from barter transactions was approximately $3,404, $2,146 and $2,445 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, with approximately equal related expense amounts in each year.
F-9
Editorial and Product Development Costs. Editorial costs are generally expensed as incurred, with the exception of purchased articles and illustrations which are expensed when the publication is available for sale. Product development costs include the editorial development, artwork, graphics, photography, and printing for new products which are capitalized as a component of inventory and expensed at the time of sale as cost of goods sold.
Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, except for certain direct-response advertising, the primary purpose of which is to elicit sales from customers who can be shown to have responded specifically to the advertising and that will result in future benefits. Direct-response advertising consists of subscription renewal mailings, magazine subscription insert cards and subscription gift insert promotions. These direct-response adverting costs are capitalized as assets and amortized over the estimated period of future benefit. The amortization period is one year subsequent to the spending for the subscriber acquisition effort (renewal mailing, inclusion of the insertion cards or gift insert promotion). Amortization of direct-response advertising costs is included in marketing and selling expenses on the accompanying statements of combined income. Advertising expense was approximately $10,181, $10,213 and $9,542 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Internal-Use Software. In compliance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” the Company expenses costs incurred in the preliminary project stage and, thereafter, capitalizes costs incurred in the developing or obtaining of internal use software and includes them in property and equipment, net. Certain costs, such as maintenance and training, are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over a period of not more than three years using the straight-line method. In addition, in compliance with SOP 98-1 and EITF No. 00-2, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs,” direct internal and external costs associated with the development of the features and functionality of the Company’s Web sites incurred during the application and infrastructure development phase have been capitalized, and are included in property and equipment, net on the accompanying balance sheets. Typical capitalized costs include, but are not limited to, acquisition and development of software tools required for the development and operation of the website, acquisition and registration costs for domain names and costs incurred to develop graphics for the website. These capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of up to three years using the straight-line method. Capitalized software costs are subject to impairment evaluation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144.
Benefit Plans. Substantially all of the Company’s employees are eligible to participate in a PRIMEDIA sponsored defined contribution plan. The expense recognized for this plan was $2,111, $1,887 and $2,334 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is estimated in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. See Note 15.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate any material impact on its combined financial statements upon the adoption of this standard.
SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No 115”
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also includes an amendment to SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” which applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company does not anticipate any material impact on its combined financial statements upon the adoption of this standard.
FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that, in order to be recognized, tax benefits must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption should be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this Interpretation on its combined financial statements.

4. Acquisitions
Acquisition of Automotive.com
Allocation of Purchase Price
On November 15, 2005, PRIMEDIA purchased 80% of the stock of Automotive.com, Inc. (“Automotive.com”), an automotive lead generation business serving new car buyers, which has proven expertise in car sales lead generation, search engine marketing, search engine optimization and a technology platform that can drive increased traffic and ultimately monetize that traffic into high quality lead generation. To obtain full advantage from this acquisition, the Company contributed the assets associated with its 55 automotive Internet sites to Automotive.com, creating new revenue opportunities for its portfolio of established automotive brands. As automakers divert marketing dollars
F-13
to the Internet and as auto dealers seek increased car sale leads, the combination of Automotive.com with the auto Internet sites contributed by the Company provides a platform for maximizing advertising and lead generation revenues across all those sites.
The total estimated purchase price of Automotive.com was $92,099, comprised of $68,400 in cash, net of cash acquired, $23,417 representing the present value of expected future payments to be made to acquire the remaining shares of Automotive.com and $282 of acquisition costs.
The following is a summary of the purchase price, as well as the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the net assets acquired at November 15, 2005:
Cash paid (net of cash acquired) | | $ | 68,400 | |

| | | | | |
Total | | $ | 30,689 | | 9 years | |
F-14
None of the goodwill resulting from the purchase of Automotive.com is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Additional Payments
Under the provisions of the Automotive.com Stockholders Agreement, PRIMEDIA must make quarterly payments (the “Additional Payments”) to the minority shareholders of Automotive.com, as defined in the Automotive.com Stockholders Agreement. The additional payments are paid within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and ending within 45 days of the quarter ending December 31, 2008, or December 31, 2009, if the forward agreement (see discussion below) is extended by the minority shareholders. The additional payments are recognized when the related contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. The pro rata share of the additional payments made to Automotive.com’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) will be recorded as compensation expense to the Company due to the nature of his ongoing relationship with Automotive.com. The remaining pro rata share of the Additional Payments to be made to the other minority shareholders will be recorded as an adjustment to the purchase price of Automotive.com.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded $1,198 of compensation expense, and $3,465 as an increase to goodwill, for the Additional Payments relating to the minority shareholders.
Forward Agreement
In addition, PRIMEDIA and the minority shareholders entered into a forward agreement through which PRIMEDIA will purchase the remaining 20% of Automotive.com’s stock within a short period of time after the 2008 audit date, or if the forward agreement is extended, the 2009 audit date (early 2010). The settlement price of the forward agreement is based on a measure of Automotive.com’s earnings in the fiscal year prior to settlement.
For accounting purposes, the forward agreement has been bifurcated into the components relating to the CEO of Automotive.com and the other minority shareholders. The initial recognition of the liability, as of January 1, 2006, totaling $330, was recorded as a portion of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)). The liability measured on December 31, 2006 was $2,663, resulting in a charge to compensation expense of $2,333 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The component of the forward agreement relating to the other minority shareholders was recorded as a liability at fair value as of the transaction date and an adjustment to the purchase price. On December 31, 2006, the fair value of this liability was $21,228, resulting in a net reduction to interest expense of $2,452 for the year ended December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2005, the fair value of this liability was $23,681. The change in the fair value of the liability from the date of acquisition resulted in a charge to interest expense of $264 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
SFAS No. 142 requires companies to assess goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company established October 31 as the annual impairment test date and accordingly evaluated its goodwill and trademarks. Any impairment identified is recorded in operating income. The Company’s impairment testing under SFAS No. 142 did not result in any impairments for any of the periods presented.
In addition to the annual impairment test, an assessment is also required whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The Company’s SFAS No. 142 valuations utilized both an income and market valuation approach and contain reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections and reflect management’s best estimate of projected future cash flows. The Company’s discounted cash flow valuation used a range of discount rates that represented the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital and included an evaluation of other companies in its industry. The assumptions utilized by the Company in these evaluations are consistent with those utilized in the Company’s annual planning process. If the assumptions and estimates underlying these goodwill and trademark impairment evaluations are not achieved, the amount of the impairment could be adversely affected. Future impairment tests will be performed at least annually (as of October 31) in conjunction with the Company’s annual budgeting and forecasting process, with any impairment classified as an operating expense.

11. Income Taxes
The legal entities of PEM are included in PRIMEDIA’s consolidated federal income tax return. The Company has computed its income tax provision using the separate return approach. Under the separate return approach, current and deferred income tax expense or benefit is determined by applying the requirements of SFAS No. 109 as if that group were filing a separate tax return. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, as disclosed in this report, may not be reflective of what the Company historically contributed to PRIMEDIA’s consolidated federal income tax return or what would have been allocated to the Company under the federal consolidated return regulations. This is due to various factors, including group accounting and the consolidated return regulations governing allocation of consolidated net operating losses to members of a consolidated group.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had recorded an aggregate tax benefit for net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of $7,355 and $29,041,
F-19
respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards were fully utilized as of December 31, 2006. The remaining carryforward amount as of December 31, 2006, is attributable to state net operating losses from various jurisdictions with various expiration periods.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (b) operating loss carryforwards. The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company’s deferred income taxes are as follows:

A reconciliation of the income tax expected at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% to the income taxes provided on the loss before income taxes is set forth below:
| | Years Ended December 31, | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2004 | |

Management has determined that the Company is not likely to realize the income tax benefit of its net deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to its total net definite-lived deferred tax assets. Since the adoption of SFAS No. 142 in 2002, the Company has monitored the expected reversal of the difference between book and tax basis in indefinite-lived
F-21
intangible assets and to the extent it has been determined that such differences will not reverse during the same period of its existing definite-lived deferred tax assets, the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability.
With the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company no longer amortizes the book basis of the indefinite-lived intangibles but has continued to amortize these intangibles for tax purposes. For 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded a deferred income tax provision (benefit) of $(7,908), $5,157 and $13,628, respectively, related to the change in the Company’s net deferred tax liability for the tax effect of the net increase or decrease in the difference between the book and tax basis in the indefinite-lived intangible assets.
A portion of the Company’s valuation allowance at December 31, 2006 may relate to net deferred tax assets which were recorded in the accounting for various acquisitions. PRIMEDIA has not historically tracked such amounts on a separate company basis. The recognition of any such portion of valuation allowance in future years would be allocated to reduce the excess of purchase price over the net assets acquired and the other non-current intangible assets.
PRIMEDIA’s tax returns are subject to examination by the applicable taxing authorities. The Company believes adequate provision for all outstanding issues has been made for all open years and that, as of December 31, 2006, the accrual for income taxes payable is sufficient to cover any expected liabilities arising from any such examination.
12. Share-Based Compensation Plans
The Company does not have any compensation plans under which it grants stock awards to employees. On behalf of the Company, PRIMEDIA grants to certain officers and other key employees of the Company PRIMEDIA options to purchase shares of PRIMEDIA common stock. A portion of PRIMEDIA’s stock-based compensation expense, relating specifically to Company employees, is allocated to the Company and recorded in other general expenses and parent company investment.
The PRIMEDIA Inc. 1992 Stock Purchase and Option Plan, as amended (the “Stock Option Plan”), authorizes sales of shares of common stock and grants of incentive awards in the form of, among other things, stock options to key employees and other persons with a unique relationship with PRIMEDIA.
Stock options are granted with exercise prices at or above quoted market value at time of issuance. Most of the options are exercisable at the rate of 20%-33% per year commencing on the effective date of the grant. Options granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan will expire no later than ten years from the date the option was granted. The grant date fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
Summary of Impact of SFAS No. 123(R)
Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method, under which prior periods are not
F-22
revised for comparative purposes. The modified prospective transition method requires recognition of compensation expense from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied as if the fair-value-based accounting method had been used to account for all employees awards granted, modified, or settled after the effective date and to any awards that were not fully vested as of the effective date.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recorded an increase to net income of $141 as a portion of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle due to SFAS No. 123(R)’s requirement to apply an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards (previously the Company recognized forfeitures when they occurred) and a reduction to net income of $330 as a portion of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as described in Note 4.
Pro Forma Disclosure for the Year Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Pro forma information regarding net income is required by SFAS No. 123(R), and has been determined as if PRIMEDIA had accounted for its employee stock options granted on or before December 31, 2002 under the fair value method. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with assumptions noted in the Stock Options section below.
| | Year Ended December 31, | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 | |
Reported net income | | $ | 19,314 | | $ | 75,272 | |
Add: stock-based employee compensation expense related to stock options held by Company employees, included in reported net income | | 421 | | 504 | |
Deduct: total stock-based employee compensation expense related to stock options held by Company employees, determined under fair value based method for all awards | | (558 | ) | (935 | ) |
| | | | | |
Pro forma net income | | $ | 19,177 | | $ | 74,841 | |
Fair Value Calculations by Award
Stock Options
The fair value of each option award was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model under the assumptions noted in the following table. Where certain inputs to the Black-Scholes model varied throughout the period, the ranges utilized for those assumptions are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of PRIMEDIA common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from the historical exercise behavior of employees and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate
F-23
for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2004 | |
Expected volatility | | 63.63 | % | 72.31%–75.30% | | 80.14%–89.00% | |
Weighted-average volatility | | 63.63 | % | 72.51% | | 83.97% | |
Expected dividends | | — | | — | | — | |
Expected term (in years) | | 3 | | 3 | | 3 | |
Risk-free rate | | 4.95 | % | 3.63%–3.96% | | 2.19%–3.25% | |
The Black-Scholes pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. PRIMEDIA’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of its employee stock options.
A summary of the Company’s stock options award activity relevant to Company employees as of December 31, 2006 and changes during the year ended December 31, 2006 is presented below:
| | Options | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term | |
Outstanding at January 1, 2006 | | 955,867 | | $ | 5.57 | | | |
Granted | | 4,000 | | $ | 1.89 | | | |
Expired | | (133,300 | ) | $ | 7.34 | | | |
Forfeited | | (37,833 | ) | $ | 3.01 | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Outstanding at December 31, 2006 | | 788,734 | | $ | 5.38 | | 3 | |
| | | | | | | |
Vested or expected to vest at December 31, 2006 | | 743,423 | | $ | 5.48 | | 3 | |
| | | | | | | |
Exercisable at December 31, 2006 | | 684,678 | | $ | 5.47 | | 3 | |
The weighted-average fair value per option for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1.10. No options were exercised or settled in cash during the year ended December 31, 2006.
The Company’s policy for attributing the value of graded vested share-based compensation awards is on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. As of December 31, 2006, there was $118 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1 year.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)
During March 2000, PRIMEDIA approved and implemented the PRIMEDIA Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Employees of the Company participate in the PRIMEDIA ESPP and expenses related
F-24
to the Company’s employees have been allocated to the Company. The ESPP is intended to encourage long-term investment in PRIMEDIA and to assist eligible employees of PRIMEDIA and its eligible subsidiaries to purchase common stock of PRIMEDIA through payroll deductions at a discount. The ESPP permits full-time or part-time employees who customarily work at least 20 hours per week and five months per year to purchase shares of PRIMEDIA’s common stock at 90% of the closing stock price on the last day of the offering period. ESPP charges allocated to the Company during 2005 and 2004 were $39 and $101, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2006, PRIMEDIA’s ESPP was amended to provide that the purchase price of shares through the ESPP is 95% of the closing stock price on the last day of the offering period. Due to the amendment, the ESPP became non-compensatory under SFAS No. 123(R) and thus no charge was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2006.

13. Provision for Restructuring Costs
In 2006, the Company began new cost reduction initiatives to streamline operations, reduce layers of management and consolidate real estate.
Details of the new initiatives implemented and the payments made related to both the new and previously implemented plans during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are presented in the following tables:
| | Liability as of January 1, 2006 | | Net Provision for the Year Ended December 31, 2006 | | Payments During the Year Ended December 31, 2006 | | Liability as of December 31, 2006 | |
Severance and closures: | | | | | | | | | |
Employee-related termination costs | | $ | 245 | | $ | 931 | | $ | (935 | ) | $ | 241 | |
Termination of leases related to office closures | | 2,266 | | 13 | | (732 | ) | 1,547 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Total severance and closures | | $ | 2,511 | | $ | 944 | | $ | (1,667 | ) | $ | 1,788 | |
| | Liability as of January 1, 2005 | | Net Provision for the Year Ended December 31, 2005 | | Payments During the Year Ended December 31, 2005 | | Liability as of December 31, 2005 | |
Severance and closures: | | | | | | | | | |
Employee-related termination costs | | $ | 446 | | $ | 1,428 | | $ | (1,629 | ) | $ | 245 | |
Termination of leases related to office closures | | 2,682 | | 671 | | (1,087 | ) | 2,266 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Total severance and closures | | $ | 3,128 | | $ | 2,099 | | $ | (2,716 | ) | $ | 2,511 | |
The remaining liability related to real estate lease commitments for space that the Company no longer occupies, is expected to be paid through 2009. The employee-related termination costs are expected to be paid through 2007. To reduce the lease related costs, the Company has pursued subleases of its available office space. These leases have been recorded at their net present value amounts and are net of sublease income amounts. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of its reserves on a quarterly basis.
As a result of the implementation of this new plan, the Company has terminated a total of 25 individuals.
Liabilities of $1,010 and $964 representing the current portion of the provision for restructuring costs are included in accrued expenses and other on the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Liabilities of $778 and $1,547 representing the non-current portion of the provision for restructuring costs are included in other non-current liabilities on the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
F-26
14. Unclaimed Property Liability
Based on an initial assessment of its unclaimed property liability, the Company believed that it may have had unclaimed property that should have been remitted to one or more states under their respective escheatment requirements. The property in question related primarily to unused advertising credits and outstanding accounts payable checks. The Company had an estimated unclaimed property liability of $1,732 and $1,601 recorded at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company continues to negotiate settlements under voluntary disclosure agreements with the relevant states, the most significant of which was settled in October 2005, with no additional provision required.
15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” and SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
| | December 31, | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
| | Carrying Value | | Fair Value | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value | |
Deferred Purchase Price Liabilities | | $ | 33,681 | | $ | 36,850 | | $ | 32,867 | | $ | 36,114 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
For instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
16. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments. Total rent expense under operating leases was $9,810, $9,508 and $9,898 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Certain leases are subject to escalation clauses and certain leases contain renewal options. The leases primarily relate to real estate and equipment. There were no minimum noncancelable sublease rentals as of December 31, 2006. The following annual rental commitments include an aggregate of $1,547 which has been reserved for as
F-27
part of the provision for restructuring costs (see Note 13). Minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows:
Years Ending December 31, | | | |
2007 | | $ | 8,982 | |
2008 | | 8,265 | |

Year Ending December 31, | | | |
2007 | | $ | 1,046 | |
2008 | | 642 | |
2009 | | 511 | |
2010 | | 453 | |
2011 | | 227 | |
Thereafter | | — | |

| | 2,879 | |
Less: Amounts representing interest (at rates ranging from 7% to 8%) | | 321 | |
| | | |
Present value of minimum lease payment and other | | 2,558 | |
Less: Current portion | | 904 | |
| | | |
Long-term portion of capital leases | | $ | 1,654 | |
Contingencies. The Company is involved in ordinary and routine litigation incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, there is no pending legal proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on the combined financial statements of the Company.
17. Related Party Transactions
The Company’s combined balance sheets include the investment of its parent company, which relates to the Company’s cumulative losses, allocations of PRIMEDIA’s corporate management fees, net transfers of cash under a centralized cash management system, intercompany taxes payable and receivable, and allocations of PRIMEDIA’s debt and interest and amortization of deferred financing costs related to PRIMEDIA’s debt. PRIMEDIA’s borrowings under its credit facilities and senior notes are guaranteed by the Company.
F-28
Specifically, the Company’s statements of combined income include overhead expenses allocated to the Company from PRIMEDIA consisting of shared overhead for services and administrative functions including, but not limited to, executive management costs, salaries and fringe benefits for certain legal, financial, information technology and human resources personnel and third party costs. Overhead costs were allocated based on a variety of statistical measures. Management believes that these allocations were made on a reasonable basis. These allocations may not reflect the actual access to financial resources and actual expenses which the Company might have incurred as a stand-alone operation. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company has recorded allocated overhead expenses of $8,199, $8,522 and $8,322, respectively, in other general expenses, and $19,123, $17,708 and $19,530, respectively, in corporate management fees.
The activity in the parent company investment account is as follows:
| | Year Ended December 31, | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
Balance, beginning of year | | $ | 788,504 | | $ | 707,084 | |
Net income | | 49,518 | | 19,314 | |
Parent company transfers | | (129,863 | ) | 62,106 | |
| | | | | |
Balance, end of year | | $ | 708,159 | | $ | 788,504 | |
PRIMEDIA does not assess interest on outstanding intercompany balances and its allocated shares subject to mandatory redemption. PRIMEDIA assesses interest to the Company on its allocated PRIMEDIA debt, which was $981,188 and $1,084,484 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Intercompany interest related to the allocated debt was $92,400, $68,605 and $49,369 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Intercompany revenue was $443 and $42 during the years ended December 2005 and 2004.
18. Subsequent Events

The Company operates in one segment and produces and distributes content through magazines and via the Internet to consumers in various niche and enthusiast markets. Trade, Retail, and Consumer events further enhance customer continuity. The legal entities that comprise PEM are PRIMEDIA Holdings III, Inc., PRIMEDIA Enterprises, Enthusiast Media Subscription Co., Inc., PRIMEDIA Leisure Group and Automotive.com, Inc. (the “Companies”).

The condensed combined financial statements include the accounts of the companies. All intra-company accounts and transactions within and between the Companies have been eliminated. All accounts representing payables and receivables between the Companies and other PRIMEDIA companies have been reclassified to parent company investment. The accompanying condensed combined financial statements include allocations of certain assets, liabilities and expenses relating to shared services and administrative functions incurred at the corporate level of PRIMEDIA (see Note 13). The Company believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocations of these items from PRIMEDIA are reasonable. However, such expenses are not indicative of, nor is it practical or meaningful for management to estimate for all historical periods presented, the actual level of expenses that might have been incurred had the Company been operating as an independent company. Therefore, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are not necessarily indicative of what it would have achieved as an independent company.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed combined financial statements present fairly the combined financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the results of combined operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and combined cash flows of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been derived from the Company’s audited combined balance sheet included in the Company’s combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual combined financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2006, which are included elsewhere in this information statement. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that, in order to be recognized, tax benefits must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption should be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of parent company investment. (See Note 10).
EITF 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)”
In June 2006, the FASB ratified a consensus on the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)”, related to the classification of certain sales, value added and excise taxes within the income statement. The EITF reached a tentative conclusion that the presentation of taxes on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. The Company records taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis.
3. Divestitures
The Company has classified the results of certain divested entities and entities planned for disposition as of March 31, 2007 as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”).
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company decided to pursue the sales of its Crafts and History groups. In February of 2006, the Company completed the sale of the History group for $17,000, resulting in net gain of $13,707. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of the Crafts group.
In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company announced that it had agreed to sell its Outdoors group, which consists primarily of its hunting, fishing, and shooting titles, for $170,000 in cash. The transaction was completed in January 2007 and the Company recorded a gain of $12,864, net of tax. The net proceeds from this sale are subject to routine post-closing adjustments. The assets and liabilities of the Outdoors group are included in assets and liabilities of businesses held for sale on the accompanying condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.
F-35
The operating results of these operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Total revenues, net, and income before provision for income taxes included in discontinued operations on the accompanying condensed statements of combined operations are as follows:
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2007 | | 2006 | |
Total revenues, net | | $ | 6,938 | | $ | 37,258 | |
Income before provision for income taxes | | $ | 1,303 | | $ | 3,496 | |
Income before provision for income taxes above excludes gains on sale of businesses.
The gains on sales of businesses, net of tax, were $12,693 and $13,707 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Held for Sale
The assets and liabilities of businesses which the Company has initiated plans to sell, but had not sold, as of December 31, 2006, have been classified as held for sale on the accompanying condensed combined balance sheet. As of December 31, 2006, this represents the assets and liabilities of the Outdoors group. There were no businesses held for sale as of March 31, 2007 as the Company completed the sale of its Outdoors group in January 2007.
4. Acquisitions
Acquisition of Modified Automotive Group
In January of 2007, the Company acquired Modified Automotive Group, publisher of Modified Magazine, Modified Luxury & Exotics Magazine, Modified Mustangs Magazine, and their related event partnerships and websites, for approximately $15,000 in cash. The Company has not yet completed its purchase price allocation and in the interim has classified the intangible assets primarily to goodwill. The results of this acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Other Acquisitions
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company also acquired a small business within the automotive events industry.
5. Automotive.com
Automotive.com
On November 15, 2005, PRIMEDIA purchased 80% of the stock of Automotive.com, Inc. (“Automotive.com”), an automotive lead generation business serving new car buyers, which has proven
F-36
expertise in car sales lead generation, search engine marketing, search engine optimization and a technology platform that can drive increased traffic and ultimately monetize that traffic into high quality lead generation. To obtain full advantage from this acquisition, the Company contributed the assets associated with its 55 automotive Internet sites to Automotive.com, creating new revenue opportunities for its portfolio of established automotive brands. As automakers divert marketing dollars to the Internet and as auto dealers seek increased car sale leads, the combination of Automotive.com with the auto Internet sites contributed by the Company provides a platform for maximizing advertising and lead generation revenues across all those sites.
Additional Payments
Under the provisions of the Automotive.com Stockholders Agreement, the Company must make quarterly payments (the “Additional Payments”) to the minority shareholders of Automotive.com, as defined in the Automotive.com Stockholders Agreement. The additional payments are paid within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and ending within 45 days of the quarter ending December 31, 2008, or December 31, 2009, if the forward agreement (see discussion below) is extended by the minority shareholders. The additional payments are recognized when the related contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. The pro rata share of the additional payments made to Automotive.com’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) will be recorded as compensation expense to the Company due to the nature of his ongoing relationship with Automotive.com. The remaining pro rata share of the Additional Payments to be made to the other minority shareholders will be recorded as an adjustment to the purchase price of Automotive.com.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded $270 of compensation expense, and $478 as an increase to goodwill, for the Additional Payments relating to the minority shareholders.
Forward Agreement
In addition, PRIMEDIA and the minority shareholders entered into a forward agreement through which PRIMEDIA will purchase the remaining 20% of Automotive.com’s stock within a short period of time after the 2008 audit date, or if the forward agreement is extended, the 2009 audit date (early 2010). The settlement price of the forward agreement is based on a measure of Automotive.com’s earnings in the fiscal year prior to settlement.
For accounting purposes, the forward agreement has been bifurcated into the components relating to the CEO of Automotive.com and the other minority shareholders. The initial recognition of the liability, as of January 1, 2006, totaling $330, was recorded as a portion of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123-revised 2004, “Share-Based Payment”). Due to the fair value measurement of the liability, the Company recorded a charge to compensation expense of $675 and $619 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The component of the forward agreement relating to the other minority shareholders was recorded as a liability at fair value as of the transaction date and an adjustment to the purchase price. Due to
F-37
the fair value measurement of the liability, the Company recorded a charge to interest expense of $544 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and a reduction to interest expense of $982 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
6. Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net, consisted of the following:
| | March 31, 2007 | | December 31, 2006 | |

Finished goods | | 2,425 | | 1,983 | |
| | | | | |
| | $ | 11,210 | | $ | 12,115 | |
8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, (“SFAS No. 142”), requires companies to assess goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company established October 31 as the annual impairment test date and accordingly evaluated its goodwill and trademarks. Intangible assets with a finite life will be tested for impairment in accordance with the guidance in SFAS No. 144. Any impairment identified is recorded in operating income. The Company’s impairment testing under SFAS No. 142 did not result in any impairments for any of the periods presented.
In addition to the annual impairment test, an assessment is also required whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The Company’s SFAS No. 142 valuations utilized both an income and market valuation approach and contain reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections and reflect management’s best estimate of projected future cash flows. The Company’s discounted cash flow valuation used a range of discount rates that represented the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital and included an evaluation of other companies in its industry. The assumptions utilized by the Company in these evaluations are consistent with those utilized in the Company’s annual planning process. If the
F-38
assumptions and estimates underlying these goodwill and trademark impairment evaluations are not achieved, the amount of the impairment could be adversely affected. Future impairment tests will be performed at least annually (as of October 31) in conjunction with the Company’s annual budgeting and forecasting process, with any impairment classified as an operating expense.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:
Balance as of January 1, 2007 | | $ | 549,037 | |
Purchase price adjustments for valuation reports | | 4,190 | |
Goodwill acquired related to acquisition of businesses | | 16,600 | |
| | | |
Balance as of March 31, 2007 | | $ | 569,827 | |
Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of the following:
| | | | March 31, 2007 | | December 31, 2006(1) | |
| | Weighted average amortization period (years) | | Gross Carrying Amount | | Accumulated Amortization | | Net | | Gross Carrying Amount | | Accumulated Amortization | | Net | |
Membership, subscriber and customer lists | | 9 | | $ | 93,977 | | $ | 72,072 | | $ | 21,905 | | $ | 93,977 | | $ | 71,383 | | $ | 22,594 | |
Other | | 6 | | 28,915 | | 22,680 | | 6,235 | | 28,883 | | 21,681 | | 7,202 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total | | 8 | | $ | 122,892 | | $ | 94,752 | | $ | 28,140 | | $ | 122,860 | | $ | 93,064 | | $ | 29,796 | |
(1) Excluding intangible assets classified as assets held for sale (see Note 3).
Intangible assets not subject to amortization had a carrying value of $131,640 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (excluding intangible assets classified as assets held for sale), and consisted of trademarks. At March 31, 2007, estimated future amortization expense of other intangible assets subject to amortization is as follows: approximately $5,000 for the remainder of 2007 and approximately $4,000, $3,000, $3,000, $2,000 and $2,000 for each of the years ending December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively.
F-39
9. Accrued Expenses and Other
Accrued expenses and other consisted of the following:
| | March 31, 2007 | | December 31, 2006 | |
| | | | | |
Payroll, commissions and related employee benefits | | $ | 18,097 | | $ | 11,971 | |
Retail display allowances | | 8,185 | | 8,263 | |
Circulation costs | | 4,677 | | 5,090 | |

Other | | 2,791 | | 3,213 | |
| | | | | |
| | $ | 54,987 | | $ | 46,148 | |
10. Income Taxes
The legal entities of PEM are included in PRIMEDIA’s consolidated federal income tax return (the “Consolidated Group”). The Company has computed its income tax provision using the separate return approach. Under the separate return approach, current and deferred income tax expense or benefit is determined by applying the requirements of SFAS No. 109 as if that group was filing a separate tax return. Certain tax attributes of the Company may not be reflective of what the Company historically contributed to the Consolidated Group or what would have been allocated to the Company under the federal consolidated return regulations. This is due to various factors, including group accounting and the consolidated return regulations governing allocation of consolidated net operating losses to members of a consolidated group.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties of $83,070 which was accounted for as a decrease to the January 1, 2007 balance of parent company investment. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was $71,178. Substantially all of this amount would, if recognized, have an effect on the effective income tax rate. In addition to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company had $12,939 of interest and penalties accrued as of January 1, 2007.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes.
The Company and its subsidiaries are part of the Consolidated Group which files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions, and the Company is routinely under audit by many different tax authorities. Management believes that its accrual for tax liabilities is adequate for all open audit years based on its assessment of many factors, including past experience and interpretations of tax law. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may
F-40
involve a series of complex judgments about future events. As a result of the Consolidated Group’s net operating loss carryforwards, the Consolidated Group is subject to federal examination for all years since 1992.
It is possible that federal, state and local tax examinations will be settled during the next twelve months. If any of these settlements do occur within the next twelve months, the Company would make any necessary adjustments to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Until formal resolutions are reached between the Company and the tax authorities, the determination of a possible audit settlement range with respect to the impact on uncertain tax benefits is not practicable. On the basis of present information, it is the opinion of the Company’s management that any assessments resulting from the current examinations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s combined financial statements. The statute of limitations in select jurisdictions is expected to expire within the next twelve months and may result in a decrease of unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest of $11,119.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased by $5,867, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. An additional $666 of interest was accrued in the first quarter of 2007.
11. Provision for Restructuring Costs
In 2006, the Company began new cost reduction initiatives to streamline operations, reduce layers of management and consolidate real estate.
Details of the new initiatives implemented and the payments made related to both the new and previously implemented plans during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are presented in the following tables:
| | Liability as of January 1, 2007 | | Net Provision for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 | | Payments during the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 | | Liability as of March 31, 2007 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Employee-related termination costs | | $ | 241 | | $ | 442 | | $ | (206 | ) | $ | 477 | |
Termination of leases related to office closures | | 1,547 | | (34 | ) | (153 | ) | 1,360 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 1,788 | | $ | 408 | | $ | (359 | ) | $ | 1,837 | |
| | Liability as of January 1, 2006 | | Net Provision for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 | | Payments during the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 | | Liability as of March 31, 2006 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Employee-related termination costs | | $ | 245 | | $ | 280 | | $ | (181 | ) | $ | 344 | |
Termination of leases related to office closures | | 2,266 | | (26 | ) | (148 | ) | 2,092 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 2,511 | | $ | 254 | | $ | (329 | ) | $ | 2,436 | |
F-41
The remaining liability related to real estate lease commitments for space that the Company no longer occupies is expected to be paid through 2009. The employee-related termination costs are expected to be paid through 2007. To reduce the lease related costs, the Company has pursued subleases of its available office space. These leases have been recorded at their net present value amounts and are net of sublease income amounts. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of its reserves on a quarterly basis.
As a result of the implementation of this new plan, the Company has terminated a total of 40 individuals.
Liabilities of $1,260 and $1,010 representing the current portion of the provision for restructuring costs are included in accrued expenses and other on the condensed combined balance sheets as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Liabilities of $577 and $778 representing the non-current portion of the provision for restructuring costs are included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed combined balance sheets as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in ordinary and routine litigation incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, there is no pending legal proceeding that would have a material adverse effect on the condensed combined financial statements of the Company.
13. Related Party Transactions
The Company’s condensed combined balance sheets include the investment of its parent company, which relates to the Company’s cumulative losses, allocations of PRIMEDIA’s corporate management fees, net transfers of cash under a centralized cash management system, intercompany taxes payable and receivable, and allocations of PRIMEDIA’s debt and interest and amortization of deferred financing costs related to PRIMEDIA’s debt. PRIMEDIA’s borrowings under its credit facilities and senior notes are guaranteed by the Company.
Specifically, the Company’s condensed statements of combined operations include overhead expenses allocated to the Company from PRIMEDIA consisting of shared overhead for services and administrative functions including, but not limited to, executive management costs, salaries and fringe benefits for certain legal, financial, information technology and human resources personnel and third party costs. Overhead costs were allocated based on a variety of statistical measures. Management believes that these allocations were made on a reasonable basis. These allocations may not reflect the actual access to financial resources and actual expenses which the Company might have incurred as a stand-alone operation. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has recorded allocated overhead expenses of $1,639 and $2,155, respectively, in other general expenses, and $5,485 and $4,467, respectively, in corporate management fees.
F-42
The activity in the parent company investment account is as follows:
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2007 | | 2006 | |
Balance, beginning of period | | $ | 708,159 | | $ | 788,504 | |
Cumulative effect of FIN 48 adoption | | (83,070 | ) | — | |
Net (loss) income | | (5,244 | ) | 188 | |
Parent company transfers | | (14,902 | ) | (19,629 | ) |
| | | | | |
Balance, end of period | | $ | 604,943 | | $ | 769,063 | |
PRIMEDIA does not assess interest on outstanding intercompany balances. PRIMEDIA assesses interest to the Company on its allocated PRIMEDIA debt, which was $978,702 and $981,188 as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Intercompany interest related to the allocated debt was $21,142 and $23,390 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
14. Subsequent Events
Sale of PEM
On February 9, 2007, PRIMEDIA announced that its Board of Directors had authorized it to explore the sale of PEM. In May 2007, PRIMEDIA entered into an agreement to sell PEM for $1,177,900 to Source Interlink Companies, Inc. The sale is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2007.

The allocations of the purchase price to Enthusiast Media’s assets, including intangible assets, and liabilities are only preliminary allocations based on estimates of fair values and will change when actual fair values are determined. Among the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations,” criteria have been established for determining whether intangible assets should be recognized separately from goodwill. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” provides, among other guidelines, that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but rather are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis.

We have not completed a final assessment of the fair values of assets and liabilities of Enthusiast Media and the related business integration plans. The assessment will not be completed until the full review of the assets has been completed. We expect that the ultimate purchase price allocation will include adjustments to the fair values of depreciable tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets (some of which will have indefinite lives) and liabilities, including the establishment of any potential liabilities associated with business integration plans. Accordingly, to the extent such assessments indicate that the fair value of the assets and liabilities differ from their net book values, such differences would be allocated to those assets and liabilities. For purposes of the allocation above, we have allocated $621.0 million to identifiable intangible assets, the majority allocated to indefinite life intangibles such as trade names. The preliminary allocation included in these pro forma financial statements is as follows (in thousands):
