I don't think anything is wrong, but I cant understand why the stock is getting hammered. I find it very hard to believe that the big funds that bought THK didn't know the numbers or what was in THK's future.

Think Partnership 4th Quarter and FY2006 Financial Results
Thursday March 29, 4:05 pm ET
Q4 2006 Revenues up 95% over same year ago period
4th Consecutive Year of Record Revenue of $71.9 million, up 78% over 2005
Record Annual EBITDA of $8.8 million in 2006, up 267% over 2005


CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Think Partnership Inc. (AMEX:THK - News), an international leader in interactive performance-based marketing and related Internet technologies, reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.
Q4 2006 Financial Results

As compared to the previous quarter and same period a year ago:

Revenues totaled $19.0 million, a decrease of 12% from $21.6 million in the previous quarter and up 96% from $9.7 million a year ago.
Net Income from operations was $0.3 million, a decrease of 68% from $0.9 million in the previous quarter and up from a loss of ($1,743,249) a year ago.
Basic and fully diluted earnings per common share totaled a loss of $(0.14), a decrease from a loss of ($0.01) in the previous quarter, and a decrease from a loss of ($0.03) per share in the same period a year ago. The loss per common share is primarily due to charges relating to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of $7.2 million and $10.2 million for the quarter ended and year ended December 31, 2006 respectively.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses ("EBITDA") was $2.7 million, down 30% from $3.8 million reported in the previous quarter, and up from a loss of ($1.0 million) reported the same period a year ago. A reconciliation of EBITDA to income from operations is included at the end of this release.
Full Year 2006 Financial Results

Revenues totaled a record $71.9 million, an increase of 78% from $40.4 million in 2005.
Income before taxes was $1.4 million, an increase from $33 thousand in 2005.
Basic and fully diluted earnings per common share totaled a loss of $(0.20), compared to $0.00 in 2005. The loss is primarily due to preferred stock charges of $10.2 million.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses ("EBITDA") was a record $8.8 million, up 272% from $2.4 million reported in 2005.
"While we have enjoyed another year of record revenue and EBITDA, this has also been a period of substantial investment in new technologies and products designed to fuel our growth in the coming year," said Think Partnership's president and CEO, Scott P. Mitchell. "Think Partnership has generated almost $72 million in revenue and $9 million in EBITDA in 2006. Although our fourth and first quarter results were impacted by certain operating challenges, we strongly believe these issues have been permanently resolved and are nonrecurring. As we anticipate healthy industry-wide expansion also contributing to accelerated organic growth, we reiterate our revenue forecast to top $100 million in 2007, with EBITDA margin ranging from 20-22% of revenue."

Other Q4 2006 Highlights

Think Partnership initiated conversion of all outstanding preferred stock to common, which was completed in the first quarter 2007. The conversion eliminated $19.1 million of preferred stock from the balance sheet, as well as eliminated an estimated $5.9 million in annual preferred dividend payments and accretion in 2007. The company expects the conversions to increase net income applicable to common share holders by approximately $0.11 per share.
Intuit Inc. selected Think's KowaBunga!® MyAffiliateProgram(TM) (MYAP(TM)) affiliate tracking and management solution for Intuit's Quicken and QuickBooks affiliate programs.
Introduced Second Bite, an automated solution that offers online merchants the ability to recover lost sales and revenue attributed to online shopping cart abandonment.
Released ValidClick DirectAds(TM), an advanced private-label pay-per-click (PPC) platform featuring Think Partnership's highly accurate, patent-pending click fraud prevention technology.
Financial Details

Beginning in the third quarter of 2006, the company aligned its subsidiaries along four market segments, Think Network, Think Direct, Think Advertising, and Think Consumer, and reports its financial results accordingly:

Think Network

PrimaryAds, Ozline, Litmus Media, and Kowabunga! marketing subsidiaries comprise this segment, which is primarily engaged in performance-based Internet ad distribution using proprietary technology. Network revenues for the quarter totaled $3.9 million, down 26% from $5.3 million in the previous quarter and up 177% from $1.4 million a year ago. This contributed 21% of total revenues, down from 24% in the previous quarter, and up from 15% in the same quarter a year ago. Network EBITDA was $1.5 million, down 31% from $2.1 million reported in the previous quarter and up from a loss reported a year ago.

For the full year 2006, revenue from the Network segment increased 228% to $16.7 million. The acquisitions of Litmus Media, Inc. contributed approximately $7.0 million in revenue during the current year. The remaining growth was due to increased revenue derived from the company's affiliate networks and affiliate software licensing.

Think Direct

iLead Media and Morex comprise this segment, and are primarily engaged in interactive direct marketing of internally generated and 3rd party offers. Direct revenues for the quarter totaled $6.1 million, down 4% from $6.3 million in the previous quarter. This contributed 32% of total revenues, which was up from 29% in the previous quarter. Direct EBITDA was $1.8 million, down 25% from $2.4 million reported in the previous quarter.

For the full year 2006, the Direct segment contributed revenue of $17.7 million. There are no comparable periods because the company entered this segment in January 2006 with the acquisition of Morex Marketing Group, LLC and expanded further in May with the acquisition of iLead Media, Inc.

Think Advertising

MarketSmart Interactive, MarketSmart Advertising, and Web Diversity comprise this segment, and offer traditional advertising agency services (online and offline). Advertising revenues for the quarter totaled $6.3 million, down 10% from $7.0 million in the previous quarter and up 5% from $6.0 million a year ago. This contributed 33% of total revenues, the same as the previous quarter and a decrease from 62% in the same quarter a year ago. Advertising EBITDA was a loss of $0.2 million, down 202% from $0.2 million in the previous quarter, and up 59% from a loss of $0.5 million reported a year ago.

For the full year 2006, revenue from the Advertising segment decreased 7% to $25.3 million. Revenue from the company's MarketSmart Interactive business decreased by approximately $8.8 million during 2006 as compared to 2005. This was offset by increased revenue from the addition of Web Diversity Ltd. in April 2006 of approximately $6.2 million and increased revenue from our advertising agency of approximately $0.8 million in 2006 as compared to 2005.

Think Consumer

Cherish, Inc., Vintacom Media Group, Personals Plus, Inc., and Real Estate School Online, Inc. comprise various online destinations for consumers in this segment. Consumer revenues for the quarter totaled $2.8 million, down 14% from $3.2 million in the previous quarter and up 8% from $2.6 million a year ago. Consumer EBITDA was $0.6 million, no change from $0.6 million reported in the previous quarter, and up 18% from $0.5 million reported a year ago.

The full year 2006 revenue from this segment increased approximately 49% from the previous year to $12.9 million. The increase was primarily due to the addition of three companies in 2005 that contributed approximately $5.6 million of revenue in 2006. This was offset by a decrease in revenue at the company's Cherish division of approximately $1.6 million.

EBITDA, other

There were certain costs that occurred on the corporate level that were factored into the company's total EBITDA. These costs amounted to $1.0 million for the fourth quarter, down from $1.5 million in the previous quarter, and virtually unchanged from the same year-ago quarter. For the full year 2006, this amounted to $5.2 million, up 110% from 2005.

2007 Guidance

Management maintains its currently issued forecasts for revenue in 2007 to exceed $100 million, with EBITDA margin to range between 20%-22%.

The company will hold a conference call later today to discuss its fourth quarter and year-end 2006 financial results. Think Partnership CEO Scott Mitchell and CFO Jody Brown will host the presentation, which will be followed by a question and answer period.

Revenue and Reconciliation of Pre-Tax Income to Adjusted EBITDA by Segment

In addition to other measures, management evaluates the operating results of each of its segments based upon revenue and "EBITDA," which is defined as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income taxes, each of which is presented on the company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The company's presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. It is not practical to provide a reconciliation of forecasted EBITDA margin for the full year 2007 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, pre-tax income, because certain items cannot be reasonably estimated or predicted at this time. Any of these items could be significant to the company's financial results. The following tables summarize revenues and EBITDA for reportable segments, as well as reconcile EBITDA to pre-tax income, for the last eight quarterly periods:

Think Partnership Acquires Litmus Media and Closes Sale of $26.5 Million of Convertible Preferred Stock
Thursday April 6, 9:03 am ET
Litmus Media's unique click fraud prevention and abandoned shopping cart re-marketing technologies promise to maximize value to advertising clients


NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 2006--In a move designed to address the pervasive click fraud problem plaguing interactive advertising and to help advertising clients market online more effectively, Think Partnership Inc.("THK") (AMEX:THK - News; the "Company") today announced that it has successfully closed e acquisition of Litmus Media, Inc., a Missouri corporation ("Litmus"). In a related transaction, the Company also announced today that it has closed on its sale of $26.5 million of convertible preferred stock.
ADVERTISEMENT


Based in Kansas City, Missouri, Litmus has built click fraud protected advertising distribution technologies for the performance-based advertising, search marketing, and e-retailing industries. The ValidClick Search Network (http://www.validclick.com) serves pay-per-click search advertising, local search advertising, shopping comparison and coupon content to over 1,000 search engines and web directories processing over 90 million searches per month. The company's real-time click fraud prevention technologies allow Litmus to deliver high quality conversions for pay per click advertisers, and in turn, allow Litmus to provide higher revenues-per-click to search publishers. Litmus has also leveraged its proprietary technologies to develop and operate a profitable portfolio of web properties including online yellow page services, local city directories, a meta-shopping search engine, product/coupon search sites, and an affinity-based web search engine.

In the merchant solutions arena, Litmus provides online merchants with a unique patent-pending order abandonment recovery technology, called Second Bite, helping online retailers increase sales by automatically following up with abandoned shoppers to help them complete their purchases. Litmus generated over $2 million dollars of pre-tax earnings in the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2005 and management expects Litmus to grow to approximately $4 million in pre- tax earnings in the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2006.

In the acquisition, the Company paid $6,500,000 in cash, and issued 3,250,000 shares of THK common stock valued at $2.00 per share. Further, the shareholders of Litmus may receive earnout payments of up to $19,950,000 in the aggregate based on the aggregate pre-tax earnings of Litmus for the first 12 calendar quarters following the closing. To the extent earned, up to $10,500,000 of the earnout payment will be paid in shares of the Company's common stock valued at the average closing price per share of the 30 trading days prior to issuance and up to $9,450,000 will be paid in cash. In addition, in the event the shareholders of Litmus are entitled to any earnout payments, the Company has agreed to capitalize a bonus pool for the pre-acquisition employees of Litmus in an amount not to exceed $1,050,000. Further, the Company has issued to certain shareholders of Litmus warrants to purchase an aggregate of 90,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and has established a pool of warrants to purchase up to 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued to certain employees of Litmus.

Litmus President and General Counsel Tobias Teeter stated, "After considering term sheets from several top tier venture capital firms, we chose to merge with Think Partnership because of the value the merger will add to our businesses. Combining Litmus and THK core assets and industry expertise will further accelerate the growth of our two operating companies: ValidClick, Inc. and Second Bite, LLC. We look forward to integrating our technology-based advertising platforms and networks as part of Think Partnership's full-service, comprehensive portfolio of interactive advertising solutions."

Litmus Chief Executive Officer John Linden stated, "Now that our merger with Think Partnership is complete, we look forward to integrating our business and technologies into the Think family. Both click fraud and shopping cart abandonment are huge issues facing the online advertising industry and we are excited to be able to offer our technologies through all the Think companies to address these issues for advertisers. There are many ways to integrate our patent-pending click fraud protection and shopping cart abandonment recovery technologies with other Think products increasing the overall services Think Partnership can provide to advertisers."

Both Teeter and Linden will continue to run Litmus Media as General Counsel and CEO, respectively.

Think Partnership Chief Executive Officer Gerard M. Jacobs, stated, "Litmus Media's click fraud technology is growing and highly profitable because it helps restore transparency and integrity to online commerce. John Linden and Toby Teeter will play a big role in the technological integration and growth of Think Partnership and we are very excited to have them join us."

T. Benjamin Jennings, chairman of Think Partnership, stated, "The underlying talent, vision and experience of the Litmus organization, combined with their proprietary technology, makes this opportunity one of the most dynamic business combinations of the interactive advertising space. The quality of our integrated service offerings and the capabilities of our network will set a new standard of relevance, effectiveness and integrity for our industry."

Scott P. Mitchell, president of Think Partnership, added, "As click fraud continues to artificially increase the cost of online advertising, erode the return on investment to advertisers, and continues to reach beyond search marketing into affiliate marketing and display advertising, we feel that Litmus' reliable solution to protect our advertising clients' investment is a key ingredient to being more effective in maximizing the ROI from their online advertising spend and provides us with a competitive, proprietary, competitive advantage in the marketplace. Additionally, the Second Bite abandoned shopping cart re-marketing technology will enable us to enhance the conversion ratio and further improve the effectiveness of our network for our clients. In addition to Litmus Media's impressive technologies, we are also very excited about the distribution of the ValidClick search network and we intend to immediately expand and further monetize the 90 million searches per month by introducing our direct advertiser relationships."

Think Partnership Inc. to Complete Merger of Litmus Media, Developer of Real-Time Click Fraud Prevention and Order Abandonment Recovery Technologies
Wednesday February 22, 9:11 am ET


NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2006--CGI Holding Corporation d/b/a Think Partnership Inc. (the "Company")(AMEX:THK - News) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Litmus Media, Inc., a Missouri corporation ("Litmus"), through a merger, with Litmus becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company following the closing of the merger. Litmus is engaged in the business of offering integrated solutions for performance-based advertising, search marketing and e-retailing industries. The Company had previously announced a Letter of Intent with Litmus Media on Dec. 19, 2005.
ADVERTISEMENT


Litmus Media, Inc. has developed and implemented revolutionary patent-pending real-time "in the clickstream" click fraud detection and protection technology. By protecting advertisers on its ValidClick platform from click fraud, click-to-transaction conversion ratios are higher and therefore advertisers can justify paying a higher price per click, which in turn attracts website publishers to Litmus' profitable and rapidly growing ValidClick Network (www.validclick.com). Litmus has also developed and implemented an effective patent-pending abandoned shopping cart recovery technology called Second Bite, which has been demonstrated to increase sales for online retailers (www.litmusmedia.com).

At the closing of the acquisition, the Company will pay to the shareholders of Litmus an aggregate of $6,500,000 in cash and issue to them an aggregate of 3,170,732 shares of the Company's common stock. Further, the shareholders of Litmus may receive earnout payments of up to $19,950,000 in the aggregate based on the aggregate pre-tax earnings of Litmus for the first 12 calendar quarters following the closing. To the extent earned, up to $10,500,000 of the earnout payment will be paid in shares of the Company's common stock valued at the average closing price per share of the 30 trading days prior to issuance and up to $9,450,000 will be paid in cash. In addition, in the event the shareholders of Litmus are entitled to any earnout payments, the Company has agreed to capitalize a bonus pool for the pre-acquisition employees of Litmus in an amount not to exceed $1,050,000. Further, the Company has agreed that at the closing it will issue to certain shareholders of Litmus warrants to purchase an aggregate of 90,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and will establish a pool of warrants to purchase up to 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued to certain employees of Litmus.

The closing of the merger is subject to a number of closing conditions, including among other things, the Company raising $6,500,000, which will be used to pay the cash portion of the closing consideration. The agreement will terminate if the closing does not occur by March 20, 2006. As a result, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to complete the acquisition of Litmus in accordance with the terms described herein, if at all.

Based in North Kansas City, Mo., Litmus has built click fraud protected advertising distribution technologies for the performance-based advertising, search marketing, and e-retailing industries. The ValidClick Network serves pay-per-click search advertising, local search advertising, shopping comparison and coupon content to over 1,000 search engines and web directories processing over 75 million searches per month. The company's real-time click fraud prevention technology and local keyword mapping algorithms allow Litmus to secure partnerships with tier-one search engines and paid-content providers, and in turn, allow Litmus to provide higher revenues-per-click to search publishers.

Litmus has also leveraged its proprietary technologies to develop and operate a profitable portfolio of web properties including online yellow page services, leading local city directories, a meta-shopping search engine, product/coupon search sites, and an affinity-based web search engine. In the merchant solutions arena, Litmus provides merchants with a unique patent-pending order abandonment recovery technology, called Second Bite, and coupon/product feed distribution services, helping online retailers increase ROI with little or no additional investment.

Litmus President and General Counsel Tobias Teeter stated, "This is an exciting time for Think Partnership. The Company will now possess the means for an online advertiser to distribute paid search listings in a click fraud free environment. Meanwhile, our suite of behavioral marketing services leverages and extends the merchant's existing affiliate marketing activities to on-site behavior response. We believe that the cross application of these technologies, along with other recent THK acquisitions, will help redefine Think Partnership."

Litmus Chief Executive Officer John Linden stated, "We are really excited to complete the merger with Think Partnership. We have begun working with some of the other THK companies and we expect that our ValidClick Search Network and click fraud prevention technologies will immediately integrate well, accelerating our business model and strengthening the overall services THK can offer its clients."

Both Teeter and Linden will continue to run Litmus Media after the closing as General Counsel and CEO, respectively.

Think Partnership CEO Gerard M. Jacobs stated, "This transaction is the first of four pending acquisitions which we expect to close soon. Toby Teeter, John Linden and their team at Litmus Media will play a major role in the growth of Think Partnership."

Scott P. Mitchell, president of Think Partnership, stated, "The impact Litmus Media's click-fraud protection will have on Think Partnership cannot be overstated. As performance based online marketing has become a more predicable and reliable way for businesses to advertise, click-fraud has continued to plague legitimate online channels and span far beyond just search and affiliate marketing. One key way for us to continue to maximize the return on investment for our online advertising clients is to minimize or eliminate their exposure to click fraud, thereby further differentiating our services in an otherwise increasingly commoditized marketplace. Further, the ValidClick Search Network provides Think Partnership with a rapidly growing, click-fraud free distribution channel for our clients. Finally, Litmus' local keyword mapping and Second Bite technologies offer new and innovative ways to further maximize the return on investment for our online advertising clients."

CGI Holding Corporation has been doing business under the name "Think Partnership Inc." and will seek formal shareholder approval to change its legal name to Think Partnership Inc. The Company is based in Northbrook, Ill. and currently has 12 operating companies providing online and off-line marketing, advertising, public relations, branding, and shopping evaluation services; search engine optimization and marketing services, opt-in email marketing, and pay-per-click campaign management; online dating; web design, custom web-based applications, database systems, managed and shared hosting solutions, e-commerce and high-speed business Internet access; software for affiliate marketing and affiliate marketing services; online education; and marketing to expectant parents (see www.thinkpartnership.com). The Company has announced signed letters of intent to acquire: Web Diversity Limited, a London-based leader in paid search management and organic search (see www.webdiversity.co.uk); U.K.-based Crystal Reference Systems Limited, whose operating divisions are Crystal Semantics (see www.crystalsemantics.com), and Crystal Reference (see www.crystalreference.com), an Internet content and search technology company and a major educational content publisher in Europe; and iLead Media, Inc., Pleasant Grove, Utah, a recognized leader in online lead generation (see www.ileadmedia.com).

My favorite part of the press release:

I am eager to get my arms around the company and, as an independent director, to assist in protecting and building shareholder value."----My kind of guy---He also gets a nod for graduating Boston Col.eom

Mr. Ragosta has been the president of The DOM Company since 2002, a business advisory firm offering acquisition due diligence, business valuations, strategic planning, project development advice, risk assessment, and life insurance review services. From 2000-2002, Mr. Ragosta was chief executive officer of Mitkem Technologies, an international procurement business providing semi-conductors to a variety of industry OEMs. From 1988-1998 Mr. Ragosta was the founder, president and chief executive officer of Communications International Corp. Mr. Ragosta began his professional career as a certified public accountant for the international accounting and advisory firm of Ernst & Young in its Providence, Rhode Island office and his client audit experiences covered a diverse industry base. Between 1994 and 2003 Mr. Ragosta received a total of five gubernatorial appointments and re-appointments as chairman of the board and chief executive officer for two of Rhode Island's largest state quasi-public agencies overseeing the convention tourism and hotel business of the Rhode Island Convention Center Authority and the state's entire waste management facilities under the auspices of the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation. Mr. Ragosta is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, a director to the board of the Rhode Island Special Olympics, and a member of the President's Advisory Council at Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI.

Gerard M. Jacobs, CEO of Think Partnership, stated, "I want to publicly thank Jamie Held for his advice, assistance, friendship and support for Think Partnership during the past three years, during which time our company has grown dramatically. We have reluctantly accepted his resignation from our Board of Directors. I greatly appreciate Mr. Dominic Ragosta accepting our invitation to join our Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. Mr. Ragosta's extensive accounting and business experience, both in the private sector and in several prominent public service leadership positions, will be extremely valuable to our Board and especially to our Audit Committee."

James N. Held stated, "I am proud to have been part of the team which has put Think Partnership on the map during the past three years. I remain extremely supportive of Gerry Jacobs and the rest of his management team, and I regret that my other business commitments prevent me from continuing to serve on the THK Board."

Gateway---consider this a pullback and consolidation after a 20% move in the last few weeks. It looks to me to be preparing for another move higher, but of course It's only my opinion.
