Cost of capital: The
cost of capital reflects the return a hypothetical market participant
would require for a long-term investment in an asset and can be viewed as
a proxy for the risk of that asset. We calculate the cost of capital
according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model using a number of
assumptions, the most significant of which is a Country Risk Premium
(“CRP”). The CRP reflects the excess risk to an investor of investing in
markets other than the United States and generally fluctuates with
expectations of changes in a country’s macro economic environment. The
costs of capital that we have applied in all reporting units since the end
of 2008 have been very high compared to historic levels, which we believe
represents a fundamental re-pricing of the perceived risk of investing in
emerging markets. We observed a reduction in costs of capital between the
first quarter impairment review and the second quarter impairment review
in response to reductions in the CRP, which have decreased across emerging
market economies due to a narrowing of the relative spread between yields
on developed and emerging market debt, as the risk differential between
these is perceived by market participants to have diminished. The table
below shows the percentage movement in the costs of capital that we
applied to each reporting unit with goodwill between the first quarter
impairment review and the second quarter impairment review and the adverse
movement, in percentage terms, required to make the fair value of the
reporting unit equal their carrying values (with all other assumptions
constant):

Growth rate into perpetuity:
reflects the level of economic growth in each of our markets from
the last forecasted period into perpetuity and is the sum of an estimated
real growth rate, which reflects our belief that macro economic growth in
our markets will eventually converge to western European markets, and long
term expectations for inflation. Our estimates of these rates are based on
observable market data and have not
changed.
|
|
·
|
Total advertising market:
The size of the television advertising market effectively places an
upper limit on the advertising revenue we can expect to earn in each
country. Our estimate of the total advertising market is developed from a
number of external sources, in combination with a process of on-going
consultation with local management. In our second quarter impairment
review, we reduced our forecast of the absolute size of the television
advertising markets compared to the first quarter impairment review, but
now expect the rate of growth to be higher when markets begin to
recover.
|
|
·
|
Market share: This is a
function of the audience share we expect our stations to generate, and the
relative price at which we can sell advertising. Our estimate of the total
advertising market is developed from a number of external sources, in
combination with a process of on-going consultation with local management.
In general, in the second quarter impairment review we forecast that our
levels of market share will be comparable to, or slightly higher than we
assumed in the first quarter impairment review to reflect recent
improvements in our audience share.
|
|
·
|
Forecast operating
costs: The level of cash flow generated by each operation is
ultimately governed by the extent to which we manage the relationship
between revenues and costs. We forecast the level of operating costs by
reference to (a) the historical absolute and relative levels of costs we
have incurred in generating revenue in each station, (b) the operating
strategy of each business and (c) specific forecast costs to be incurred.
With the exception of the Czech Republic, where costs reduced, in the
second quarter impairment review we forecast that operating costs will be
comparable or slightly higher in comparison with our assumptions in the
first quarter impairment review, to reflect the increased EBITDA margins
we had experienced in some operations compared to previous forecasts as we
have reduced costs.
|
|
·
|
Forecast capital
expenditure: The size and phasing of capital expenditure, both
recurring expenditure to replace retired assets and investments in new
projects, has a significant impact on cash flows. We forecast the level of
future capital expenditure based on current strategies and specific
forecast costs to be incurred. In line with our ongoing efforts to protect
our operating margins, the absolute levels of capital expenditure forecast
remained broadly constant between the first and second quarter impairment
review, however certain investment cash flows were delayed, with a
consequent marginal positive impact on the fair value of the reporting
units.

On
May 18, 2009, we issued 14.5 million shares of Class A common stock at a
price of US$ 12.00 per share and 4.5 million shares of Class B common
stock at a price of US$ 15.00 per share (an average price of US$ 12.71 per
share) to Time Warner Media Holdings B.V., an affiliate of Time Warner
Inc. (“Time Warner”) for an aggregate offering price, net of fees, of US$
234.4 million.
|
|
·
|
During
the second quarter, our Board of Directors approved the designation of the
subsidiaries of our Bulgaria and Ukraine operations as well as the
Development Finance Holding Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries (all as
defined in Item 1, Note 22, “Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries”).
All of our other subsidiaries remain Restricted
Subsidiaries. Our compliance with the incurrence covenants for
the Floating Rate Notes and the 2009 Fixed Rate Notes is based on the
performance of the Restricted Subsidiaries. Our ability to fund the
Unrestricted Subsidiaries with cash from the Restricted Subsidiaries is
limited.
|
|
·
|
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2009 we issued EUR 440.0 million
(approximately US$ 644.3 million) fixed rate senior notes in two tranches
(the “2009 Fixed Rate Notes”) and used the majority of the proceeds to
repay existing debt including all of the 2005 Notes which were due in
2012, in aggregate principal of EUR 372.5 million (approximately US$ 545.4
million). We received net cash proceeds of EUR 45.7 million (approximately
US$ 66.9 million) from the offering. As a result of the repayment of the
2005 Notes which would have matured in 2012, our ability to issue new
debt at the holding company level is no longer governed by the ratio of
Gross Debt to EBITDA but by the Coverage Ratio as defined in the indenture
of the 2007 Notes which mature in
2014.
|
|
·
|
On
July 2, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Igor Kolomoisky, a
shareholder and member of our Board of Directors, pursuant to which Mr.
Kolomoisky will become a 49% beneficial owner in our Ukraine operations
following an investment of US$100.0 million in cash and the contribution
of 100.0% of the TET TV channel in Ukraine into the Studio 1+1 group. The
US$100.0 million cash investment will be used to finance the activities of
STUDIO 1+1, KINO and TET TV. The addition of TET TV will enhance our
multichannel strategy in Ukraine. See Item 1, Note 20, “Commitments and
Contingencies, Ukraine Transaction” for more
details.
|
|
·
|
On
July 27, 2009, we entered into a framework agreement (the “Framework
Agreement”) with Adrian Sarbu, our President and Chief Executive Officer
and certain parties connected to him pursuant to which we will acquire the
Media Pro Entertainment business. See Item 1, Note 20,
“Commitments and Contingencies, Media Pro Transaction” for more
details.
|
|
·
|
On
July 1, 2009, Wallace Macmillan resigned as our Chief Financial Officer
and has been replaced on an interim basis by Charles Frank, Jr. Mr. Frank
served as an independent director of CME from November 2001 until his
appointment as Interim CFO and was previously a member of our Audit,
Related Party Transactions and Treasury
Committees.
|
|
·
|
On
July 27, 2009, Adrian Sarbu was appointed as our President and Chief
Executive Officer. Mr. Sarbu was previously our President and
Chief Operating Officer from December 2008 and Chief Operating Officer
from October 2007.
|
|
·
|
enhancing
our operating structure by creating three new divisions - broadcast
operations, internet and content – to provide for greater vertical
integration of the company;
|
|
·
|
capitalizing
on our core strengths and expanding our revenue base into five main
sources: advertising, subscription, content distribution, internet and
management services;
|
|
·
|
exploring
various options to bring our operations in Ukraine and Bulgaria to
profitability in the shortest possible time;
and
|
|
·
|
assessing
opportunities arising from current economic conditions to launch, acquire
or operate additional channels and internet operations in our region in
order to expand our offerings, target niche audiences and increase our
advertising inventory when financially
prudent.

decreases
in the cost of programming of 15% and 12% for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in
2008, following a cost optimization program resulting in savings in both
foreign and local program syndication. Notwithstanding the decrease in the
cost of programming, production costs increased during the third quarter
in 2009 primarily due to an increase in reality and entertainment shows
included in the fall schedule. Production costs remained flat for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in
2008;

·
|
increases
in other operating costs of 27% and 17% for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in
2008, primarily due to higher fees paid for digital transmission as a
result of broadcasting two of our channels in DVB-T rather than one in the
same period in 2008, partially offset by lower staff-related costs;
and

|
·
|
decreases
in selling, general and administrative expenses of 12% and 5% for the

decreases
in the cost of programming of 25% and 37% for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 due to

schedule is lower compared to 2008, we have increased the cost of
programming when compared to previous quarters in
2009;
|
·
|
decreases
in other operating costs of 38% and 30% for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in

decreases
in selling, general and administrative expenses of 98% and 60% for the

million) of Senior Notes outstanding, comprising EUR 440.0 million
(approximately US$ 644.3 million) of the 2009 Fixed Rate Notes and EUR
150.0 million (approximately US$ 219.6 million) of the 2007 Floating Rate
Notes, which bear interest at nine-month Euro Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(“EURIBOR”) plus 1.625%. The applicable rate at September 30, 2009 was
3.104%.
|
(2)
|
As
at September 30, 2009 we had US$ 475.0 million principal amount of
Convertible Notes outstanding that mature on March 15,
2013. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each
March 15 and September 15.
|
(3)
|
On
July 21, 2006, we entered into a five-year revolving loan agreement for
EUR 100.0 million (approximately US$ 146.4 million) arranged by the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“EBRD”) and on August
22, 2007, we entered into a second revolving loan agreement for EUR 50.0
million (approximately US$ 73.2 million) arranged by EBRD (together with
the EUR 100.0 million facility, the “EBRD Loan”). ING Bank N.V.
(“ING”) and Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. (“CS”) each participated in the EBRD
Loan for EUR 37.5 million (approximately US$ 54.9 million). On September
17, 2009 we repaid the full aggregate principal amount of EUR 127.5
million (approximately US$ 187.3 million at the date of repayment)
outstanding and simultaneously terminated both agreements. In connection
with extinguishing these facilities, we incurred repayment charges and
other costs of US$ 0.6 million. We also wrote off all remaining
capitalized issuance costs and these charges were recognized as a loss on
extinguishment within interest
expense.
|

|
We
have an uncommitted multicurrency overdraft facility for EUR 10.0 million
(approximately US$ 14.6 million) from Bank Mendes Gans (“BMG”), a
subsidiary of ING, as part of a cash pooling arrangement. The cash pooling
arrangement with BMG enables us to receive credit across the group in
respect of cash balances which our subsidiaries in the Netherlands,
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Romania, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia and
Ukraine deposit with BMG. Cash deposited by our subsidiaries with BMG is
pledged as security against the drawings of other subsidiaries up to the
amount deposited. As at September 30, 2009, the full EUR 10.0
million (approximately US$ 14.6 million) facility was available to be
drawn. Interest is payable at the relevant money market rate plus

As
at September 30, 2009, CET 21 had drawn, in CZK, the full CZK 1.2 billion
(approximately US$ 69.9 million) of a credit facility with CS available
until December 31, 2010. This facility may, at the option of
CET 21, be drawn in CZK, US$ or EUR and bears interest at the three-month,
six-month or twelve-month London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”), EURIBOR
or Prague Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“PRIBOR”) rate plus 1.65%; a rate of
3.56% applied to the balance outstanding at September 30, 2009 and is
based on PRIBOR. A non-utilization fee of 0.25% is payable on the undrawn
portion of this facility, which decreases to 0.125% of the undrawn portion
if more than 50% of the loan is drawn. Drawings under this facility are
secured by a pledge of receivables, which are also subject to a factoring
arrangement with Factoring Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. (“FCS”), a subsidiary of
CS.
|
(6)
|
CET
21 has a working capital credit facility of CZK 250.0 million
(approximately US$ 14.6 million) with CS, which matures on December 31,
2010. This working capital facility bears interest at the
three-month PRIBOR rate plus 1.65%. The applicable rate at September 30,
2009 was 3.56% .This facility is secured by a pledge of receivables, which
are also subject to a factoring arrangement with CS. As at
September 30, 2009, the full CZK 250.0 million (approximately US$ 14.6
million) was drawn under this
facility.
|
(7)
|
As
at September 30, 2009, there were no drawings under a CZK 300.0 million
(approximately US$ 17.5 million) factoring facility with
CS. This facility is available until June 30, 2011 and bears
interest at the rate of one-month PRIBOR plus 1.40% for the period that
actively assigned accounts receivable are
outstanding.
|
(8)
|
As
at September 30, 2009, our Slovak Republic operations had made no drawings
under a EUR 3.3 million (approximately US$ 4.8 million) overdraft facility
with ING. This can be utilized for short term advances up to

2%.
|
(9)

In
July 2005 Pro Plus entered into a revolving five-year facility agreement
for up to EUR 37.5 million (approximately US$ 54.9 million) in aggregate
principal amount with ING Bank N.V., Nova Ljubljanska Banka d.d.,
Ljubljana and Bank Austria Creditanstalt d.d., Ljubljana. The
facility availability amortizes by 10.0% each year for four years
commencing one year after signing, with 60.0% repayable after five
years. This facility is secured by a pledge of the bank
accounts of Pro Plus, the assignment of certain receivables, a pledge of
our interest in Pro Plus and a guarantee of our wholly-owned subsidiary
CME B.V. Loans drawn under this facility bear interest at a
rate of EURIBOR for the period of drawing plus a margin of between 2.10%
and 3.60% that varies according to the ratio of consolidated net debt to
consolidated broadcasting cash flow for Pro Plus. As at
September 30, 2009, the full EUR 22.5 million (approximately US$ 33.0
million) available under this facility was
drawn.
