How to Invest in Cryptocurrency for Beginners: A Complete GuideDaniel
Cryptocurrency is digital money that operates independently of a central authority, utilizing cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments (fiat currencies), cryptocurrencies are decentralized and typically operate on a technology called blockchain. Each cryptocurrency transaction is recorded on a public ledger, ensuring transparency and security.
Cryptocurrencies can be used for various purposes, including online purchases, investment opportunities, and as a means of transferring value globally without the need for intermediaries like banks.

Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

quot;CBS Corporation has delivered yet again,quot; said Sumner Redstone, Executive Chairman, CBS

Second Quarter 2007 Results
Revenues of $3.4 billion for the second quarter of 2007 decreased 3% from $3.5 billion for the same
quarter last year, reflecting the absence of UPN, which ceased broadcasting in September of 2006, the
timing of the semifinals of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, which aired in the first quarter in
2007 versus the second quarter in 2006, and the impact of radio and television station divestitures.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”) of $859.4 million and operating
income of $749.9 million for the second quarter of 2007 remained flat with $858.9 million and $750.3
million, respectively, for the same prior-year period, as increases at Television, Publishing and Outdoor
and lower residual costs were offset by a decline at Radio. Stock-based compensation expense for the
second quarter of 2007 was $30.5 million versus $18.2 million for the same quarter in 2006.
Reported net earnings from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007 were $404.0 million, or
$.55 per diluted share. Net earnings from continuing operations for the same period last year were $489.8
million, or $.64 per diluted share, which included a tax benefit of $129.0 million, or $.17 per diluted
share, from income tax settlements. On an adjusted basis, excluding tax benefits from income tax
settlements in both years and the pre-tax gain and related tax effect of station divestitures, net earnings
from continuing operations increased 9% to $393.1 million for the second quarter of 2007 from $360.8
million, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 15% to $.54 from $.47 for
the same prior-year period, due in part to lower shares outstanding in 2007. Net earnings were $404.0
million, or $.55 per diluted share, compared with $781.7 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 2006. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2006 included net earnings from
discontinued operations of $291.9 million, or $.38 per diluted share, principally reflecting the gain on the
sale of Paramount Parks.
Free cash flow of $570.5 million for the second quarter of 2007 increased 4% from $546.2 million for the
same prior-year period.
3. 3
First Half 2007 Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues of $7.03 billion decreased $26 million from the same
prior-year period, as growth at Publishing and Outdoor was offset by declines at Radio and Television,
primarily reflecting the impact of radio and television station divestitures and the absence of UPN. These
decreases were partially offset by the 2007 telecast of Super Bowl XLI on CBS Network. OIBDA of $1.5
billion remained flat and operating income of $1.3 billion decreased 1% as compared to the first half of
2006. Stock-based compensation expense was $51.5 million for the first six months of 2007 versus $30.8
million for the same prior-year period.
Reported net earnings from continuing operations for the first half of 2007 were $617.5 million, or $.83
per diluted share, compared to $724.3 million, or $.94 per diluted share, for the same prior-year period.
On an adjusted basis, excluding tax benefits from income tax settlements in both years and the pre-tax
gain and related tax effect of station divestitures, net earnings from continuing operations increased 9% to
$646.7 million for the first half of 2007 from $595.3 million, and diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations increased 13% to $.87 from $.77 for the same prior-year period, due in part to
lower shares outstanding in 2007. Net earnings were $617.5 million, or $.83 per diluted share, compared
to $1.0 billion, or $1.31 per diluted share, for the first half of 2006. Net earnings for the 2006 period
included net earnings from discontinued operations of $284.3 million, or $.37 per diluted share,
principally reflecting the gain on the sale of Paramount Parks.
Free cash flow for the first six months of 2007 was $1.3 billion, up 11% from $1.2 billion for the same
prior-year period.
Business Outlook
When comparing full year 2007 to 2006 on an as reported basis, several factors – including higher
expense for stock-based compensation, the sale of 39 radio stations and nine television stations, the
shutdown of UPN and the non-renewal of low-margin major urban outdoor transit contracts – will result
in revenue and operating income that will be comparable to that of 2006.
For the long-term, the Company is positioned to deliver rates of growth as follows: low single-digit
growth in revenues, mid single-digit growth in operating income and high single-digit growth in earnings
per share.

Television (CBS Television Network, Television Stations, CBS Paramount Network Television, CBS
Television Distribution, Showtime Networks and CSTV Networks)
Television revenues for the second quarter of 2007 decreased 4% to $2.2 billion from $2.3 billion for the
same prior-year period as underlying revenue growth in the Television segment was more than offset by
the timing of the semifinals of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the absence of UPN and the
impact of television station divestitures. Advertising revenues decreased 11% from the same prior-year
period principally due to these same three factors. Television license fees decreased 8% principally due
to the absence of the 2006 domestic syndication of Without A Trace. Home entertainment revenues
increased $83.4 million over the second quarter of 2006.
Television OIBDA and operating income for the second quarter of 2007 both increased 3% to $549.5
million and $506.1 million, respectively, primarily due to higher home entertainment revenues and the
absence of $24.0 million of costs related to the shutdown of UPN in 2006, partially offset by higher costs
associated with entertainment series and lower political advertising revenues. Television results included
stock-based compensation of $14.8 million and $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
On May 30, 2007, the Company acquired Last.fm, a global, community-based music discovery network,
for approximately $280 million.
Radio (CBS Radio)
Radio revenues for the second quarter of 2007 decreased 11% to $463.4 million from $519.1 million for
the same prior-year period, reflecting the impact of the previously announced radio station sales in ten
markets, as well as continued weakness in the radio advertising market. On a “same station” basis,
excluding divested stations, Radio revenues decreased 5% from the second quarter of 2006.
Radio OIBDA and operating income for the second quarter of 2007 both decreased 18% to $187.3
million and $179.4 million, respectively, principally resulting from the revenue decline partially offset by
the absence of expenses for divested stations. Radio results included stock-based compensation of $5.0
million and $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
On May 31, 2007, the Company completed the previously announced sale of the two radio stations in San
Antonio for cash proceeds of $45.0 million.
6. 6
Outdoor (CBS Outdoor)
Outdoor revenues for the second quarter of 2007 increased 4% to $554.2 million from $534.4 million for
the same prior-year period, reflecting a 12% increase in Europe and Asia, primarily due to favorable
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and growth in the U.K. In constant dollars, Outdoor revenues
increased 1% for the quarter. North America revenues for the second quarter remained flat with the prior
year as growth of 11% in U.S. billboards was offset by a 29% decline in U.S. transit and displays, driven
by the non-renewal of marginally profitable transit and street furniture contracts in New York City and
Chicago.
Outdoor OIBDA increased 5% to $168.3 million and operating income increased 7% to $115.3 million
for the second quarter of 2007, reflecting growth in North America partially offset by a decline in Europe
and Asia. North America OIBDA increased 12% to $143.6 million and operating income increased 16%
to $97.5 million, led by continued strength in the U.S. billboard business. Europe and Asia OIBDA
decreased 21% to $24.7 million and operating income decreased 26% to $17.8 million, principally
reflecting higher transit lease costs in the U.K. Outdoor results included stock-based compensation of
$1.2 million and $.9 million for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Publishing (Simon & Schuster)
Publishing revenues for the second quarter of 2007 increased 14% to $200.3 million from $176.0 million
for the same prior-year period, principally reflecting higher sales from best-selling titles, including Blaze
by Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman and The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. OIBDA increased to
$20.1 million from $10.6 million and operating income increased to $18.1 million from $8.2 million,
reflecting the revenue increase partially offset by higher production and royalty costs. Publishing results
included stock-based compensation of $.9 million and $.5 million for the second quarter of 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Corporate
Corporate expenses before depreciation expense increased to $41.6 million for the second quarter of 2007
from $39.7 million for the same prior-year period, due to higher stock-based compensation expense in
2007. Corporate expenses included stock-based compensation of $8.6 million and $4.9 million for the
second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
7. 7
Residual Costs
Residual costs primarily include pension and postretirement benefits costs for benefit plans retained by
the Company for previously divested businesses. For the quarter, residual costs decreased to $24.2
million from $35.3 million for the same prior-year period, primarily due to the recognition of lower
actuarial losses and the impact of $250 million of discretionary contributions made during 2006 to pre-
fund one of the Company’s qualified pension plans.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $145.5 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $140.8 million for the
same prior-year period primarily due to the timing of the refinancing of $700 million of senior notes and
higher weighted average interest rates.
Interest Income
Interest income increased to $33.8 million from $18.5 million for the same prior-year period, primarily
resulting from higher average cash balances and the timing of the refinancing of $700 million of senior
notes.
Other Items, Net
“Other items, net” for the second quarter and first half of 2007 included pre-tax gains of $9.2 million and
$12.6 million, respectively, resulting from the divestitures of television and radio stations.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the second quarter, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 36.4% for 2007 versus 19.3% for
2006, and for the six-month period, the effective income tax rate was 41.2% for 2007 versus 27.9% for
2006. The effective income tax rates for the second quarter and six-month periods of 2007 reflected the
tax impact of the station divestitures and a benefit from income tax settlements, and for 2006 periods,
reflected a benefit of $129.0 million from income tax settlements. Excluding the tax impact of the 2007
station divestitures and the tax benefits from income tax settlements in both years, the effective income
tax rate for the second quarter decreased to 37.2% for 2007 from 40.4% for 2006 and for the six-month
period decreased to 37.8% for 2007 from 40.8% for 2006, in each case principally resulting from lower
state and foreign income taxes.
8. 8
Other Matters
On March 6, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately 47.3 million shares of CBS Corp. Class B
Common Stock for $1.4 billion, subject to adjustment, through an accelerated share repurchase
transaction. On April 16, 2007, the Company completed the exchange agreement with Liberty Media
Corporation under which CBS Corp. repurchased 7.6 million shares of its Class B Common Stock held by
Liberty Media Corporation in exchange for the stock of a subsidiary which held CBS Corp.’s Green Bay
television station, and $169.8 million in cash.
On May 23, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.22 per share
to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 4, 2007, and approximately $158 million was
paid to these stockholders on July 1, 2007.

Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”)
The following tables set forth the Company’s Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The Company defines “Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization” (“OIBDA”) as net earnings adjusted to exclude the following line items presented in its Statements of
Operations: Net earnings from discontinued operations; Minority interest, net of tax; Equity in earnings (loss) of
affiliated companies, net of tax; Provision for income taxes; Other items, net; Loss on early extinguishment of debt;
Interest income; Interest expense; and Depreciation and amortization.
The Company uses OIBDA, among other things, to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to value
prospective acquisitions and as one of several components of incentive compensation targets for certain management
personnel, and this measure is among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting of
future periods. This measure is an important indicator of the Company’s operational strength and performance of its
business because it provides a link between profitability and operating cash flow. The Company believes the
presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a
manner similar to the method used by the Company’s management, helps improve their ability to understand the
Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that
have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. In addition, this measure is also among the primary
measures used externally by the Company's investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and
comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in its industry.
Since OIBDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”), it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating
performance. OIBDA, as the Company calculates it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by
other companies. In addition, this measure does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use, and is
not necessarily a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs. As OIBDA excludes certain financial
information compared with net earnings, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial
information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded. The Company provides the
following reconciliations of Total OIBDA to Net earnings and OIBDA for each segment to such segment’s operating
income, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow reflects the Company’s net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures and operating cash
flow of discontinued operations. The Company uses free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate its operating
performance. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available
to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, maintain its capital assets, satisfy its tax obligations and fund
ongoing operations and working capital needs. As a result, free cash flow is a significant measure of the Company’s
ability to generate long term value. It is useful for investors to know whether this ability is being enhanced or degraded as
a result of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes the presentation of free cash flow is relevant and
useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by
management. In addition, free cash flow is also a primary measure used externally by the Company’s investors, analysts
and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other
companies in its industry.
As free cash flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, free cash flow should not be
considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance or net cash flow
provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Free cash flow, as the Company calculates it, may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, free cash flow does not necessarily
represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash
needs. As free cash flow deducts capital expenditures and operating cash flow of discontinued operations from net cash
flow provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial
information should consider the types of events and transactions which are not reflected. The Company provides below a
reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash flow provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable amount
reported under GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s net cash flow provided by operating activities to free cash
flow:

2007 and 2006 Adjusted Results
The following tables reconcile financial measures excluding the impact of the 2007 pre-tax gain and the related tax provision of
the television and radio station divestitures and the 2007 and 2006 tax benefits from the settlement of certain income tax audits,
to the reported measures included in this earnings release. The Company believes that adjusting its financial results for the
impact of these items is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to
the method used by the Company's management, provides a clearer perspective on the current underlying performance of the
Company and makes it easier to compare the Company's year-over-year results.

Radio Segment “Same Station” Reconciliation
In connection with the previously announced sales of 39 radio stations in ten of its smaller markets, the Company has
completed the sales of its stations in six of these markets (24 stations) and expects to close on the remaining markets during
the second half of 2007. The following table presents the revenues for the Radio segment on a “same station” basis, which
excludes all revenues for the divested stations, for all periods presented. The Company believes that adjusting the revenues
of the Radio segment for the impact of station divestitures provides investors with a clearer perspective on the current
underlying financial performance of the Radio segment.
