ITEM 1. Business

 

Overview

 

InfoSpace, Inc. (“InfoSpace”, “our” or “we”) develops search tools and technologies that assist consumers with finding content and information on the Internet. We offer search services that enable Internet users to locate and view content, information, merchants, individuals, and products online. We offer search services through our Web sites, such as Dogpile.com, WebCrawler.com, MetaCrawler.com, and WebFetch.com, as well as through the Web properties of distribution partners. Partner versions of our Web offerings are generally private-labeled and delivered with each distribution partner’s unique requirements.

 

Our search offerings differ from most other mainstream search services in that they utilize our “metasearch” technology that selects results from several search engines, including Google, Yahoo!, and MSN, among others, which serve as our content providers.

 

3


Table of Contents

We compete against other providers of Web search services. We also compete against more traditional media, including radio, network and cable television, newspaper, magazines, Internet, direct mail and others for a share of the U.S. advertising media market.

 

We were founded in 1996 and are incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our principal corporate office is located in Bellevue, Washington. We also have an office in Bangalore, India. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “INSP.”

 

From 2004 to 2007, InfoSpace was comprised of three businesses: online search, online directory, and mobile. The mobile business was comprised of a mobile content product offering and a mobile services offering. In 2006, as a result of being informed by one of our carrier partners that it intended to develop direct relationships for mobile ringtone content with the major record labels beginning in 2007, we restructured our operations and substantially reduced our mobile content offerings in 2007. In 2007, we completed the sale of a significant portion of our remaining mobile content assets for $3.8 million. On October 31, 2007, we completed the sale of our directory business to Idearc Inc. for $225 million in cash. On December 28, 2007, we completed the sale of our mobile services business to Motricity, Inc. for $135 million in cash. Following the sale of our mobile and directory businesses, our revenues are derived exclusively from providing online search services.

 

The operating results of the directory and mobile businesses have been presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations relied on certain estimates and assumptions, and the historical results of operations presented in our consolidated financial statements do not necessarily reflect the results that would have existed had we provided our online search services as a standalone business throughout the periods presented. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of our business, overall market conditions and the process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations, we believe that comparisons of our 2008 operating results to prior years are not necessarily meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as indications of future performance.

 

Company Internet Site and Availability of SEC Filings.    Our corporate Internet site is located at www.infospaceinc.com. We make available on that site our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments to those filings, and other filings we make electronically with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The filings, as well as our Code of Conduct and Ethics, can be found in the Investor Relations section of our site and are available free of charge. Information on our Internet site is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding us and other issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

 

Seasonality

 

Our search services are affected by seasonal fluctuations in Internet usage, which generally declines in the summer months and weeks following the holiday shopping season in December.

 

International Operations

 

We have historically generated most of our revenues from customers in the United States. Revenue generated from customers in the United States accounted for 97% in 2008, 97% in 2007, and 98% in 2006 of our total revenues in those years and we expect to generate a substantial majority of our revenues from customers in the United States for the foreseeable future.

 

Revenue Sources

 

We receive revenues from certain of our content providers, whom we refer to as our customers, when an end user of our Web search services clicks on a paid search link that is provided by a customer and displayed on our

 

4


Table of Contents

Web site or displayed on the Web property of a distribution partner. Revenues are recognized in the period in which a paid click occurs and are based on the amounts earned and remitted to us by our customers for such clicks. In addition, we earn revenue from certain distribution partners, such as a fixed monthly fee in exchange for portal infrastructure services.

 

Our customers are primarily search content providers. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a small number of customers and we expect that this concentration will continue in the foreseeable future. Google and Yahoo! each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in 2008 and jointly accounted for 95% or more of our revenues in 2008, 2007, and 2006.

 

Our main customer agreements are with Google and Yahoo! and each agreement expires in 2011. Each agreement may be renewed only upon mutual written agreement of the parties to the agreement. Through our Google and Yahoo! agreements, we license rights to certain search products and services from each party, including both non-paid and paid search links for use on our Web sites and the Web properties of our distribution partners. We derive revenues from the search products and services we use and distribute from Google and Yahoo! when an end user of our Web search services clicks on a paid search link that is provided by either Google or Yahoo! and displayed on one of our Web sites or on a Web property of one of our distribution partners. Both Google and Yahoo! reserve certain rights of approval over the use and distribution of their respective search products and services, and has requirements and guidelines regarding such use and distribution. If we or our search distribution partners fail to meet the requirements and guidelines promulgated under these customer agreements, Google and Yahoo! have certain rights under the agreements to suspend or terminate our or our distribution partners’ use and distribution of such customer’s search products and services, and in the event of certain violations, to terminate their agreement with us. We and our distribution partners have limited rights to cure breaches of the requirements and guidelines, and both Google and Yahoo! may modify certain requirements and guidelines of their agreement with us pursuant to the terms of such agreement.

 

Google and Yahoo! each make certain representations and warranties to us in the agreements regarding their search products and services, and we make certain representations and warranties in the agreements regarding our use and distribution of their search products and services. The agreements also provide for various indemnification obligations of the parties with respect to the content and services of each party, and our distribution partners’ use and distribution of Google and Yahoo!’s search products and services.

 

Product Development

 

We believe that our technology is essential to expand and enhance our products and services and maintain the attractiveness and competitiveness of our products and services. Product development expenses were $9.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2008, $9.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2007, and $6.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Our success depends significantly upon our technology and intellectual property rights. To protect our rights, we rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, patents, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties and protective contractual provisions. Most of our employees have executed confidentiality and non-use agreements that contain provisions prohibiting the unauthorized disclosure and use of our confidential and proprietary information and that transfer to us any rights they may have in copyrightable works or patentable technologies that they may develop while under our employ. In addition, prior to entering into discussions with third parties regarding our business and technologies, we generally require that such parties enter into nondisclosure agreements with us. If these discussions result in a license or other business relationship, we also generally require that the agreement setting forth the parties’ respective rights and obligations include provisions for the protection of our intellectual property rights. For example, the standard language in our agreements with distribution partners provides that we retain ownership of all patents and

 

5


Table of Contents

copyrights in our technologies and requires them to display our patent, copyright and trademark notices, as appropriate.

 

We hold 40 U.S. registered trademarks and 75 foreign trademarks registered in various countries. We also have applied for registration of certain service marks and trademarks in the United States and in other countries, and will seek to register additional marks in the U.S. and foreign countries, as appropriate. We may not be successful in obtaining registration for the service marks and trademarks for which we have applied or maintaining the registration of existing marks.

 

We hold 12 U.S. patents. Our issued patents relate to online search, advertisement and location services, among others. We are currently pursuing certain pending U.S. and foreign patent applications that relate to various aspects of our technology. We anticipate on-going patent application activity in the future. However, patent claims may not be issued and, if issued, may be challenged or invalidated by third parties. In addition, issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages.

 

Despite our efforts to protect our rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our products or services or obtain and use information, marks or technology that we regard as proprietary. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States, and it is often more difficult and costly to enforce our rights in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, others could independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. If we do not effectively protect our intellectual property, or if others independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property, our business could suffer.

 

Companies and individuals in the Internet software and application services industry, as well as the arts and entertainment industry, have frequently resorted to litigation regarding intellectual property rights. We may have to litigate to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of others’ proprietary rights which are sometimes not clear or may change. From time to time, we have received, and may receive in the future, notice of claims of infringement of others’ proprietary rights. Responding to any such claims could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention, cause product or service release delays, require us to redesign our products or services or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. If a successful claim of infringement were made against us and we could not develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely and cost-effective basis, our business could suffer.

 

Competition

 

We operate in the online search market, which is extremely competitive and rapidly changing. Our current and prospective competitors include many large companies that have substantially greater resources than we have, some of whom are also our customers, and many small and start-up companies with a large variety of competitive products and services. We believe that the primary competitive factors in the market for online search services are:

 

   

our customers going direct to our distribution partners to provide the distribution partners with the customers’ online search services and products;

 

   

the ability to meet the specific information, content, and service demands of a particular Web property;

 

   

the cost-effectiveness, reliability and security of the products and application services;

 

   

the ability to provide products and application services that are innovative and attractive to consumers and other end users;

 

   

our competitors may provide products or applications services, such as embedded search browsers or downloadable applications, to our end users that displace our search services;

 

   

the ability to develop innovative products and services that enhance the appearance and utility of the Web properties;

 

6


Table of Contents
   

the ability to meet the needs of major customers and distribution partners; and

 

   

the ability of our competitors to develop and market new or enhanced products and search services.

 

Although we believe that no one competitor offers all of the products and services we do, our primary offerings face competition from various sources. We compete, directly or indirectly, in the following ways, among others:

 

   

our customers are also our competitors, such as Google and Yahoo!;

 

   

our online search services also compete against more traditional media, including radio, network and cable television, newspaper, magazines, Internet, direct mail and others for a share of the U.S. advertising market;

 

   

other information and content services we provide compete with specialized content providers; and

 

   

in international markets, in addition to competing with U.S.-based search providers, we compete with local companies which may have a competitive advantage due to their greater understanding of and focus on a particular local market.

 

We expect that in the future we will experience competition from other Internet application companies, as well as from other content providers. Some of these potential competitors are currently customers or distribution partners of ours, the loss of which could harm our business.

 

Many of our current customers have had relationships with some of our current and potential future distribution partners. If our customers develop software and application services that are superior to ours, or that achieve greater market acceptance than ours, our business will suffer.

 

Governmental Regulation

 

Because of the increasing use of the Internet, U.S. and foreign governments have adopted or may in the future adopt laws and regulations relating to the Internet, addressing issues such as consumer protection, user privacy, security, pricing, age verification, content, taxation, copyrights and other intellectual property, distribution, advertising and product and services quality.

 

Recent concerns regarding Internet user privacy have led to the introduction of U.S. federal and state legislation to protect user privacy and data security. Existing federal laws regarding user privacy that we may be subject to include the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which regulates the online collection of personal information from children under 13, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which regulates the collection and processing of personal information by financial institutions as well as imposes information security obligations. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) has used its authority to regulate unfair and deceptive trade practices to investigate and regulate user privacy and data security concerns, and such investigations or regulation could adversely affect our business. Various states have likewise sought to regulate consumer protection, advertising, privacy and data security in ways that may affect the collection, use and disclosure of information. For example, California has passed several laws relating to the collection, storage and distribution of personal information, requiring in part the posting of a privacy policy and disclosure of how information is shared with third parties for marketing purposes as well as obligating businesses to secure such information. We could become subject to new laws and regulations that could limit or prohibit our ability to distribute our products and services, conduct targeted advertising, collect, use or transfer user information or impose new data security requirements that could require us to expend substantial resources. In addition, numerous states now require that companies notify individuals of security breaches that may result in third parties gaining unauthorized access to certain types of personal information. We believe we take reasonable steps to protect the security and confidentiality of the information we collect and store but there is no guarantee that third parties will not gain unauthorized access despite our efforts or that we will not incur costs in complying with our notification obligations under such circumstances.

Table of Contents

Many countries outside of the United States have more restrictive privacy laws than the United States. The European Union, for example, strictly regulates the collection, use and transfer of personal information of its residents. Further, information lawfully collected in the European Union may not be transferred for processing outside the European Union to a country that lacks adequate protections. The European Union has deemed the U.S. to lack such protections and transfers of personal information gathered in the European Union to the United States are only permitted under limited circumstances. Additionally, regulatory authorities in the European Union increasingly take a different view from the U.S. with respect to what constitutes personal information, especially in the context of IP addresses. The European Union also increasingly seeks to regulate the duration for which a business can maintain information it has collected. Other countries such as Canada follow models similar to the European Union albeit without express prohibitions on data export. These and similar restrictions may limit our ability to collect, use, and transfer information regarding Internet users in those countries.

 

We may be subject to provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act and similar state laws that regulate consumer protection and advertising in all media, including the Internet, and require advertisers to substantiate advertising claims before disseminating advertising. The FTC and various state attorneys general have recently brought actions charging deceptive advertising via the Internet and may actively monitor Internet advertising. The United States and various individual states have also enacted restrictions on advertising through other media. For example, in the United States, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, “Do Not Call” legislation and similar state laws regulate the manner in which we may advertise goods and services via telephones and facsimiles.

 

Other countries similarly regulate direct and indirect marketing. For example, the European Union has enacted an electronic communications directive that imposes certain restrictions on the use of cookies and action tags as well as the sending of unsolicited communications. Also, like the United States, the members of the European Union and other countries each may have localized consumer protection, advertising, and privacy related legislation that may impose additional costs or limit our ability to conduct business in such regions and elsewhere.

 

These or other laws or regulations that may be enacted in the future could have adverse effects on our business, including higher regulatory compliance costs, limitations on our ability to provide some services in some countries, and liabilities which might be incurred through lawsuits or regulatory penalties.

 

Employees

 

As of February 23, 2009, we had 160 employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we consider employee relations to be positive. There is significant competition for qualified personnel in our industry, particularly for software development and other technical staff. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to hire and retain qualified personnel.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

Our strategic direction has recently changed and our focus on online search may not be successful.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we completed the sale of our directory business to Idearc Inc. and the sale of our mobile services business to Motricity, Inc. This significantly reduced the size of our business and our revenues, and our business model now centers on our online search services. There can be no assurance that our focus on online search will produce acceptable results. If we are not successful in operating under this new business model, our stock price will suffer. Moreover, any other future changes to our business may not prove successful in the short or long term due to a variety of factors, including competition, consumer adoption and demand for our products and services, and other factors described in this section, and may have a material negative impact on our financial results.

 

In addition, we have in the past and may in the future find it advisable to streamline operations and reduce expenses, including, without limitation, such measures as reductions in our workforce, discretionary spending, and/or capital expenditures, as well as other steps to reduce expenses. We have streamlined operations and reduced expenses, including reductions in our workforce, as a result of the sale of our directory and mobile services businesses. Effecting any restructuring or streamlining places significant strains on management, our employees, and our operational, financial, and other resources. In addition, such actions could impair our development, marketing, sales and customer support efforts or alter our product development plans. We may also incur liability from early termination or assignment of contracts, potential failure to meet required support levels of our platforms due to loss of employees who maintain such platforms, potential litigation and other effects from such restructuring and streamlining. Such effects from restructuring and streamlining could have a negative impact on our financial results.

 

A substantial portion of our revenues is attributable to a small number of customers, the loss of any one of which would harm our financial results.

 

We acquire rights to content from numerous third-party content providers, whom we refer to as customers, and our future success is highly dependent upon our ability to maintain relationships with these customers and enter into new relationships with other customers. We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from continuing online search operations from a small number of customers. We expect that concentration will continue in the foreseeable future. Google and Yahoo! jointly accounted for 95% or more of our online search revenues in 2008, 2007 and 2006 and each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in the same periods. Our principal agreements with these customers expire in 2011. Also, our customers are competitors of each other, and the way we do business with one of them may not be acceptable to one or some of their competitors with whom we also do business, which may result in such competitors not renewing their agreements with us on favorable terms. If any of our top customers significantly reduces or eliminates the content it provides to us under our existing contracts, or we are unable to renew the contracts on favorable terms, or any of these customers is unwilling to pay us amounts that it owes us, or disputes amounts it owes us or has paid to us, our financial results would materially suffer.

 

Failure by us or our search distribution partners to comply with the requirements and guidelines imposed by our customers relating to the use or distribution of content may require us to modify, terminate or not enter into certain distribution relationships, may cause the customer to terminate its agreement with us, and may expose us to liability.

 

If our search distribution partners or we fail to meet the requirements and guidelines promulgated by our customers, we may not be able to continue to use such customers’ content or provide the content to such distribution partners, we may be liable to such customers for certain damages they may suffer, and such

 

12


Table of Contents

customers may terminate their agreements with us. Such requirements and guidelines relate to various matters regarding the use and distribution of the customers’ content, and our customers have modified their requirements and guidelines from time to time, and may do so in the future. Such modifications may restrict or limit our ability to provide content through our Web sites or the Web properties of our distribution partners affected by such modifications, which may have a material and adverse effect on our financial results. In the past, certain of our customers had notified us that we were not in compliance with respect to our use of their content or the redistribution of their content by our distribution partners. We have been able to cure such breaches, however, there can be no assurance that if we breach our agreements in the future we will be able to cure the breach. Our agreements with some of our major customers, including Google and Yahoo!, give such customers the ability to terminate their agreements with us immediately in the case of breaches of certain provisions of the agreements with such customers, regardless of whether such breaches could be cured.

 

Additionally, agreements with our customers may be amended from time to time by both parties or may be subject to different interpretation by either party, which may require our use or the rights we grant to our search distribution partners to be modified to comply with such amendments or interpretations. The agreements with our distribution partners generally provide that we may modify the rights we grant to them to avoid being in conflict with the agreements with our customers. Also, some of our customers have approval processes with respect to the redistribution of their content by our distribution partners. Some of our distribution partners that redistribute such content have not complied with such approval processes, and we no longer provide the applicable content to such partners or such partners no longer redistribute the content. If our customers impose additional restrictions, some of our distribution partners may be required to change the manner in which such customer’s content is used or distributed or cease using or distributing such customer’s content. If some of our distribution partners are unable to meet the restrictions, we may need to terminate our agreement with such distribution partners or no longer provide the applicable content to such partners.

 

The loss or reduction of content that we can use or make available to our distribution partners, as well as the termination of distribution or customer agreements, as described above, could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 

A substantial portion of our revenues is dependent on our relationships with a small number of distribution partners who distribute our online search services, the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 

We rely on our relationships with online search distribution partners, including internet service providers, Web portals and software application providers, for distribution of our online search services. During 2008, we generated approximately 31% of our online search revenues through relationships with our top ten distribution partners. We cannot assure you that these relationships will continue or will result in benefits to us that outweigh the cost of the relationships. One of our challenges is providing our distribution partners with relevant products and services at competitive prices in rapidly evolving markets. Distribution partners may create their own products and services or may seek to license products and services from others that we compete with or replace the products and services that we provide. Also, many of our distribution partners are developing companies with limited operating histories and evolving business models that may prove unsuccessful even if our products and services are relevant and our prices competitive. If we are not able to maintain our relationships with our distribution partners, our financial results would be materially adversely affected.

 

Our agreements with most of our distribution partners come up for renewal in 2009 and 2010. Such agreements may be terminated or may not be renewed or replaced on favorable terms, which could adversely impact our financial results. We anticipate that our content and distribution costs for our revenue sharing arrangements with our distribution partners will increase as revenues grow and may increase as a percentage of revenues to the extent that there are changes to existing arrangements or we enter into new arrangements on less

favorable terms. In addition, competition continues for quality consumer traffic in the online search market. Recently, we have experienced increased competition from our content providers, whom we refer to as customers, seeking to enter into agreements directly with our existing or potential distribution partners, making it increasingly difficult for us to renew agreements with existing major distribution partners or to enter into distribution agreements with new partners on favorable terms. Any difficulties that we experience with maintaining or strengthening our business relationships with our major distribution partners could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

 

Current economic downturn may put downward pressure on online advertising spending, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 

The current economic downturn may lead to lower online advertising spending by advertisers who advertise through our customers, resulting in lower fees paid to us by such customers for paid search originating from our Web sites or the Web properties of our distribution partners. A significant reduction in such spending could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

 

If advertisers perceive that they are not receiving quality traffic to their sites through their paid-per-click advertisements, they may reduce or eliminate their advertising through the Internet. Further, if our customers perceive that they are not receiving quality traffic from our owned Web sites or the Web property of a distribution partner to their advertiser networks, they may reduce the fees they pay to us. Either of these factors could have a negative material impact on our financial results.

 

Most of our revenues from our online search business are based on the number of paid clicks on commercial search results served on our own Web sites or our distribution partners’ Web properties. Generally, each time a user clicks on a commercial search result, the customer that provided the commercial search result receives a fee from the advertiser who paid for such commercial click and the customer pays us a portion of that fee. If the click originated from one of our distribution partners’ Web properties, we share a portion of the fee we receive with such partner. If an advertiser receives what it perceives to be a large percentage of clicks for which it needs to pay, but that do not result in the intended objectives of such advertiser, the advertiser may reduce or eliminate its advertisements through the customer that provided the commercial search result to us because of such poor quality traffic. This leads to a loss of revenue to our customers and consequently to fewer fees paid to us. Also, if a customer perceives that the traffic originating from one of our owned Web sites or the Web property of a distribution partner is of poor quality, including, for example, traffic that may be generated through our marketing initiatives or those of our distribution partners, the customer may discount the amount it charged all the advertisers whose paid click advertisements appeared on such Web site or Web property based on the amount of poor quality traffic the customer deems to have been generated, and accordingly may reduce the amount of fees it would have otherwise paid us for all paid clicks originating from such Web site or Web property. The customer may also suspend or terminate our ability to provide its content through such Web sites or Web properties if such activities are not modified to satisfy the customer’s concerns. The payment of fewer fees to us or the inability to provide content through such Web sites or Web properties could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

 

If we fail to detect invalid click activity, we could lose the confidence of advertisers and of our customers, which could cause our business to suffer.

 

Poor quality traffic may be a result of invalid click activity. Such invalid click activity occurs, for example, when a person or automated click generation program clicks on a commercial search result to generate fees for the Web property displaying the commercial search result rather than to view the Web page underlying the commercial search result or when a competitor of the advertiser clicks on the advertiser’s search result to increase the advertising expense of the advertiser. Some of this invalid click activity is sometimes referred to as “click fraud.” When such invalid click activity is detected, our customers may refund the fee paid by the advertiser for such invalid clicks. When such invalid click activity is detected as coming from one of our

 

14


Table of Contents

distribution partners’ Web properties or our own Web sites, our customers may refund the fees paid by the advertisers for such invalid clicks, which in turn reduces the amount of fees the customer pays us. If we or our customers are unable to effectively detect and stop invalid click activity, advertisers may see a reduced return on their advertising investment with the customer because such invalid clicks do not generate quality traffic to such advertisers, which could lead such advertisers to reduce or terminate their investment in such ads. This could also lead to a loss of advertisers and revenue to our customers and consequently to less fees paid to us. Also, as discussed above, the customer may discount the amount it charged all the advertisers whose paid-click advertisements appeared on such Web site or Web property based on the amount of poor quality traffic, including invalid click activity, and accordingly reduce the amount of fees it would have otherwise paid us for all paid-clicks originating from such Web site or Web property. Additionally, if we are unable to detect and stop invalid click activity that may originate from our own Web sites or the Web properties of our distribution partners, our customers may impose restrictions on our ability to provide their commercial search results on our own Web sites or to our current and future distribution partners, which could have a material negative impact on our financial results.

 

Although we and our customers have in place certain systems to assist with the detection of invalid clicks, these systems may not detect all such invalid click activity, including new types of invalid click activity that may appear. From time to time, some of our customers may notify us that poor quality traffic may be originating from one of our distribution partners. Although the poor quality traffic may be due to factors other than invalid click activity, if we are unable to resolve or determine what factor may be creating the poor quality traffic, we may terminate our agreement with such distribution partner or stop providing content to such distribution partner from the customer that notified us of such traffic in an attempt to maintain the confidence of our customer and their advertisers in the overall quality of our traffic.

 

If our former mobile content providers disagree with our estimate of our royalty liability due to them, it could expose us to significant liability and adversely impact our financial results.

 

Under our agreements with our former mobile content providers, we calculated our royalty liability based on inputs from various sources of data and have been and continue to be subject to audits by our former mobile content providers. If our former mobile content providers disagree with the royalty amounts we calculated were due to them and we are unable to resolve those disagreements amicably, it may subject us to potential litigation and substantial costs even if it is found that the amounts we determined were due to them were accurate. If a former mobile content provider prevails in showing that the royalty amount due to it was not what was intended under our agreement with them and our estimate of the royalty liability was significantly different, it could subject us to significant liability to the affected mobile content provider and have an adverse effect on our financial results. Two former mobile content providers initiated law suits against us due to such type of disagreements and although we have been able to settle with one such mobile content provider, we continue to be engaged in litigation with the other. There can be no assurance that other former mobile content providers will not also disagree with the royalty amount due to them and initiate their own litigation, and any adverse outcomes in disputes with former mobile content providers could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 

If there is change in the ownership of the Company within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards may be severely limited or potentially eliminated; even if such change did not occur, we may not be able to utilize the full amount of our net loss carryforwards before they expire.

 

As of December 31, 2008, we had federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $800 million that will expire over a twelve to twenty year period. However, if the Company were to have a change of ownership within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, under certain conditions, its annual federal NOL utilization could be limited to an amount equal to its market capitalization, net of substantial non-business assets, at the time of the ownership change multiplied by the federal long-term tax exempt rate. A change of ownership under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code is defined as a cumulative change of

 

15


Table of Contents

50 percentage points or more in the ownership positions of certain stockholders owning 5% or more of the Company’s common stock over a three year rolling period. There can be no assurance that such change will not occur. If the use of this tax benefit is severely limited or eliminated by a change of ownership, or if we are unable to use it before it expires, there could be a material reduction in the amount of after-tax income and cash flow from operations, and it could have an effect on the ability of the Company to engage in certain transactions.

 

We have in the past identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting that we have been able to remediate; however, there can be no assurance that in the future we will not have a material weakness that could result in material misstatements in our financial statements in future periods and could also result in a loss of investor confidence.

 

Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management is required to evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and our independent registered public accounting firm is required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for each fiscal year. While our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting resulted in our conclusion that as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting was effective, we cannot predict the outcome of our testing in future periods. If we conclude in future periods that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified opinion as of future year-ends, investors may lose confidence in our financial statements and the price of our stock may suffer. In 2006, as part of its evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, our management determined that we had a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting pertaining to our deferred income tax benefit and related income tax asset, which we believe has since been remediated. As defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5, a material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We strive to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in order to prevent and detect material misstatements in our annual and quarterly financial statements and prevent fraud. However, we cannot assure you that such efforts will be effective. If we fail to maintain effective internal controls in future periods, our financial results and stock price could be adversely affected.

 

We have a history of incurring net losses, we may incur net losses in the future, and we may not be able to regain or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

 

We have incurred net losses on an annual basis for all but three of the years since our inception. As of December 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.0 billion. We may incur net losses in the future, including from our operations, loss on investments, the impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, losses from acquisitions, restructuring charges or expense related to stock-based compensation and other equity awards. There can be no assurance that we will be able to conduct our business profitably in the future.

 

Our financial results are likely to continue to fluctuate, which could cause our stock price to be volatile or decline.

 

Our financial results have varied on a quarterly basis and are likely to continue to fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations could cause our stock price to be volatile or decline. Several factors could cause our quarterly results to fluctuate materially, including:

 

   

the loss of key customers or the effects of changes to their requirements or guidelines or their measurement of the quality of traffic we send to their advertiser network;

 

   

the loss, termination or reduction in scope of key distribution relationships, such as by distribution partners licensing content directly from content providers;

 

16


Table of Contents
   

increased costs related to investments for new initiatives, including new products and services, marketing and new distribution channels;

 

   

our ability to attract and retain quality traffic;

 

   

the economic downturn that may lead to lower online advertising spend by advertisers, resulting in lower monetization rates for paid search;

 

   

cash distributions to our shareholders or stock repurchases;

 

   

additional restructuring charges we may incur in the future;

 

   

litigation expense, including settlement;

 

   

variable demand for our products and services, including seasonal fluctuations, rapidly evolving technologies and markets and consumer preferences;

 

   

the impact on revenues or profitability of changes in pricing for our products and services;

 

   

the results from shifts in the mix of products and services we provide;

 

   

the effects of acquisitions by us, our customers or our distribution partners;

 

   

increases in the costs or availability of content for our products and services;

 

   

the requirement to expense the fair value of our employee stock options and other equity awards;

 

   

the adoption of new laws, rules or regulations, or new court rulings, regarding intellectual property that may adversely affect our ability to continue to acquire content and distribute our products and services, or the ability of our customers or distribution partners to continue to provide us with their content or distribute our products and services or increase our potential liability;

 

   

volatility in the financial markets, and potential changes to the fair value of our long-term investments, such as auction rate securities;

 

   

impairment in the value of long-lived assets or the value of acquired assets, including goodwill, core technology and acquired contracts and relationships;

 

   

the effect of changes in accounting principles or in our accounting treatment of revenues or expenses;

 

   

the adoption of new regulations or accounting standards; and

 

   

the foreign currency effects from transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

 

For these reasons, among others, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of our financial results to forecast our future performance. Furthermore, our fluctuating operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which could cause the trading price of our stock to decline.

 

Certain of our long-term investments have failed to trade at auctions, which resulted in an impairment charge to a portion of such investments.

 

We do not issue or invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Included within our investment portfolio are auction rate securities (“ARS”) and preferred shares into which some of the ARS have converted. We purchased the ARS, including those that have converted into preferred stock, for $40.4 million. The ARS have failed to trade at auctions due to insufficient bids from buyers, and some of those ARS have been converted to preferred stock issued by the ARS issuer. While we now earn a premium interest rate on some of those ARS that failed to settle in the auction process or receive dividends on the preferred stock issued by the issuers of some of the ARS, those investments cannot be quickly converted into cash and were considered illiquid as of December 31, 2008. We determined that the fair value of the ARS was $13.6 million and the fair value of the preferred stock was $365,000 at December 31, 2008, and we recorded

 

17


Table of Contents

other-than-temporary impairment charges to those investments of an aggregate $24.3 million and $2.2 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. If the issuers of such investments are unable to successfully close future auctions or their credit ratings deteriorate, the fair value of those investments may continue to decline and we may record further impairment charges. Additionally, if such issuers default with respect to such securities, we may no longer continue to receive any interest or dividends and may have to further impair such investments. If we are unable to liquidate these investments when we need such liquidity for business purposes, we may need to change or postpone our business plans or find alternative financing for such business plans, if available.

 

Our stock price has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile.

 

The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile. Since our common stock began trading on December 15, 1998, our stock price has ranged from $3.70 to $1,385.00 (as adjusted for stock splits). On February 23, 2009, the closing price of our common stock was $5.34. Our stock price could decline or be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the other risks discussed in this section and the following, among others:

 

   

actual or anticipated variations in quarterly and annual results of operations;

 

   

announcements of significant acquisitions, dispositions, charges, changes in or loss of material contracts, new customer or partner relationships or other business developments by us, our customers, distribution partners or competitors;

 

   

conditions or trends in the online search services markets;

 

   

announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

 

   

changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

 

   

disclosures of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting;

 

   

the adoption of new regulations or accounting standards; and

 

   

announcements or publicity relating to litigation and similar matters.

 

In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the market for Internet and technology company securities in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These broad market and industry factors and general economic conditions may materially and adversely affect our stock price. Our stock has been subject to such price and volume fluctuations in the recent past. Often, class action litigation has been instituted against companies after periods of volatility in the overall market and in the price of such companies’ stock. If such litigation were to be instituted against us, even if we were to prevail, it could result in substantial cost and diversion of management’s attention and resources.

 

We operate in new and rapidly evolving markets, and our business model continues to evolve, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.

 

Our potential for future profitability must be considered in the light of the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties encountered by companies that are in new and rapidly evolving markets and continuing to innovate with new and unproven technologies or services, as well as undergoing significant change. Our online search services are in young industries that have undergone rapid and dramatic changes in their short history. We have also recently completed the sale of our directory and mobile services businesses. In addition to the other risks we describe in this section, some of these risks relate to our potential inability to:

 

   

execute our business strategy based on our new business model;

 

   

attract users to our owned and operated sites and retain them;

 

   

attract and retain distribution partners for our online search services;

 

18


Table of Contents
   

attract and retain customers;

 

   

manage our growth, control expenditures and align costs with revenues;

 

   

effectively utilize our resources and assets, such as our technology, personnel and cash, to drive growth;

 

   

respond quickly and appropriately to competitive developments, including:

 

   

rapid technological change;

 

   

consolidation of customers or their advertising networks;

 

   

alternatives to access the Internet;

 

   

changes in customer requirements;

 

   

new products introduced into our markets by our competitors; and

 

   

regulatory changes affecting the industries we operate in or the markets we serve both in the United States and foreign countries; and

 

   

expand our customer base in markets in which we operate and into other markets.

 

If we do not effectively address the risks we face, we may not be able to achieve profitability.

 

If we are unable to hire, retain and motivate highly qualified employees, including our key employees, we may not be able to successfully manage our business.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing, and corporate development personnel. Qualified personnel with experience relevant to our online search business are scarce and competition to recruit them is intense. If we fail to successfully hire and retain a sufficient number of highly qualified employees, we may have difficulties in supporting our customers or expanding our business. Realignments of resources, reductions in workforce, or other operational decisions have created and could continue to create an unstable work environment and may have a negative effect on our ability to hire, retain and motivate employees.

 

Our business and operations are substantially dependent on the performance of our key employees, all of whom are employed on an at-will basis. We have recently experienced significant changes at our executive management level, including the appointment on February 2, 2009 of William J. Lansing as President and Chief Executive Officer, succeeding James F. Voelker, and the appointment of the other executive officers in 2008, and we may experience more changes in the future. We cannot assure you that changes of management will not cause disruption to our operations, which may materially and adversely affect our financial results. In addition, if we lose the services of one or more key employees and are unable to recruit and retain a suitable successor(s), we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our business objectives. There can be no assurance that any retention program we initiate will be successful at retaining employees, including key employees.

 

In light of current market conditions, the value of stock options or restricted stock units granted to employees may cease to provide sufficient incentive to our employees.

 

Like many technology companies, we use stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards to recruit technology professionals and senior level employees. We have instituted a restricted stock unit program in lieu of issuing stock options to employees, other than executives and selected employees, because stock options are not currently seen as providing enough incentive to attract or retain employees. Additionally, due to the reduction in our stock price as a result of our recent dividends, most outstanding options held by employees have an exercise price significantly higher than the current market price of our stock. With respect to

those employees to whom we also issue options, we face a significant challenge in retaining them if the value of these stock options is either not substantial enough or so substantial that the employee leaves after their stock options have vested. If our stock price does not increase significantly above the prices of our options, or option programs become impracticable, we may need to issue new options or other equity incentives or increase other forms of compensation to motivate and retain our executives. We may undertake or seek stockholder approval to undertake other equity-based programs to retain our employees, which may be viewed as dilutive to our stockholders or may increase our compensation costs. Additionally, there can be no assurance that any such programs we undertake, including the restricted stock unit awards, will be successful in motivating and retaining our employees.

 

Our online search services may expose us to claims relating to how the content was obtained, distributed or displayed.

 

Our online search services link users, either directly through our owned Web sites or indirectly through the Web properties of our distribution partners, to third party Web pages and content in response to search queries and other requests. These services could expose us to legal liability from claims relating to such third-party content and sites, the manner in which these services are distributed and displayed by us or our distribution partners, or how the content provided by our customers was obtained or provided by our customers. Such claims could include the following: infringement of copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights; violation of privacy and publicity rights; unfair competition; defamation; providing false or misleading information; obscenity; pornography; and illegal gambling. Regardless of the legal merits of any such claims, they could result in costly litigation, be time consuming to defend and divert management’s attention and resources. If there were a determination that we had violated third-party rights or applicable law, we could incur substantial monetary liability, be required to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements (if available), or be required to change our business practices. We may also have obligations to indemnify and hold harmless certain of our customers or distribution partners for damages they suffer for such violations under our contracts with them. Implementing measures to reduce our exposure to such claims could require us to expend substantial resources and limit the attractiveness of our products and services. As a result, these claims could result in material harm to our business.

 

In the past, there have been legal actions brought or threatened against distributors of downloadable applications deemed to be “adware” or “spyware.” Additionally, certain bills are pending and some laws have been passed in certain jurisdictions setting forth requirements that must be met before a downloadable application is downloaded to an end user’s computer. We provide downloadable applications to promote use of our search services for our owned search services. Such applications may be considered adware. We also partner with some distribution partners that provide adware to their users if the partners adhere to our strict guidelines requiring them, among other things, to disclose to the user what the adware does and to obtain the consent of the user before the application is downloaded. The adware must also be easy to uninstall. We also review the application the partner proposes to use before we distribute our results to them. We also have the right to audit our partners, and if we find that they are not following our guidelines, we can terminate our agreement with them or cease providing content to that downloadable application. Some partners have not been able to meet the new guidelines imposed by us or some of our customers, and we no longer provide the applicable content or any content, as the case may be, to such partners or certain of their downloadable applications. We work closely with some of our major customers to try to identify potential distribution partners that do not meet our guidelines or are in breach of our distribution agreements and we work with our distribution partners to ensure they deliver quality traffic. However, there can be no assurance that the measures we implement to reduce our exposure to claims that certain ways in which the content is distributed violate legal requirements will be successful. Any claims against us as a result of violations of legal requirements or contractual obligations could result in material harm to our business.

Our financial and operating results will suffer if we are unsuccessful in acquiring desired technologies and businesses or integrating them.

 

We have acquired a number of technologies and businesses in the past and may engage in further acquisitions in the future. Acquisitions may involve the use of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of stock, the potential incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities or amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets. However, there can be no assurance that any such financing, if needed, will be available with acceptable terms or at all in light of the current market and other factors. Additionally, there can be no assurance that such acquisitions will prove successful. In the past, our financial results have suffered significantly due to impairment charges of goodwill and other intangible assets related to prior acquisitions. Acquisitions also involve numerous risks which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or stock price, including:

 

   

difficulties in assimilating the operations, products, technology, information systems and personnel of acquired companies which result in unanticipated costs, delays or allocation of resources;

 

   

difficulties in acquiring foreign companies, including risks related to integrating operations across different cultures and languages, currency risks and the particular economic, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries;

 

   

the dilutive effect on earnings per share as a result of incurring operating losses and the amortization of acquired intangible assets for the acquired business;

 

   

diverting management’s attention from other business concerns;

 

   

impairing relationships with our customers or those of the acquired companies, or breaching significant or material contracts due to the consummation of the acquisition;

 

   

impairing relationships with our employees or those of the acquired companies;

 

   

failing to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions in a timely manner or at all; and

 

   

adverse outcome of litigation matters assumed in or arising out of the acquisitions.

 

The success of the operations of companies that we have acquired will often depend on the continued efforts of the management and key employees of those acquired companies. Accordingly, we have typically attempted to retain key employees and members of existing management of acquired companies under the overall supervision of our senior management. However, we have not always been successful in these attempts at retention. Failure to retain key employees of an acquired company may make it more difficult to integrate or manage the business of the acquired company, may reduce the anticipated benefits of the acquisition by increasing costs, causing delays, or otherwise and may expose us to additional competition from companies these employees may join or form.

 

Our presence in markets outside the United States may be unsuccessful and could result in losses.

 

We currently provide online search offerings in Europe. We have limited experience in marketing and operating our products and services in international markets, and we may not be able to successfully execute our business model in these markets. Our success in these markets will be directly linked to the success of relationships with our distribution and content partner customers and other third parties.

 

As the international markets in which we operate continue to grow, competition in these markets will intensify. Local companies may have a substantial competitive advantage because of their greater understanding of and focus on the local markets. Some of our domestic competitors who have substantially greater resources than we do may be able to more quickly and comprehensively develop and grow in the international markets. Our international presence may also require significant financial investment including, among other things, the expense of developing localized products, the costs of maintaining foreign companies and expenditure of resources in developing distribution and content relationships and the increased costs of supporting remote operations.

Other risks of doing business in international markets include the increased risks and burdens of complying with different legal and regulatory standards, difficulties in managing and staffing foreign operations, limitations on the repatriation of funds and fluctuations of foreign exchange rates, varying levels of Internet technology adoption and infrastructure, and ability to enforce our contracts in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, our success internationally could be limited by barriers to such markets, such as tariffs, adverse tax consequences, and technology export controls. If we cannot manage these risks effectively, the costs of doing business in some international markets may be prohibitive or our costs may increase disproportionately to our revenues.

 

Our systems could fail or become unavailable, which could harm our reputation, result in a loss of current and potential customers and cause us to breach agreements with our partners.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we completed the transition of data center services from a third party provider and we now provide our own data center services from two locations. Although the two data centers provide some redundancy, not all of our systems and operations have backup redundancy. Such systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, break-in, earthquake or similar events. We could face significant damage as a result of these events, and our business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for all the losses that may occur. We may also be exposed to liability from those third parties to whom we provide products and services through our data centers as a result of such events. In addition, such systems use sophisticated software that may contain bugs that could interrupt service. For these reasons, we may be unable to develop or successfully manage the infrastructure necessary to meet current or future demands for reliability and scalability of our systems, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial results.

 

If the volume of traffic to our products and services, which runs through our data centers, increases substantially, we must respond in a timely fashion by expanding our systems, which may entail upgrading our technology and network infrastructure. Our ability to support our expansion and upgrade requirements may be constrained due to our business demands. Due to the number of our customers and the products and services that we offer, we could experience periodic capacity constraints which may cause temporary unanticipated system disruptions, slower response times, lower levels of customer service, and limit our ability to develop and release new or enhanced products and services. Our business could be harmed if we are unable to accurately project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of our products and application services or we fail to expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate these increases in a timely manner.

 

The security measures we have implemented to secure information we collect and store may be breached, which could cause us to breach agreements with our customers and distribution partners and expose us to potential investigation and penalties by authorities and potential claims by persons whose information was disclosed.

 

We take reasonable steps to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the information we collect and store but there is no guarantee that inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure will not occur or that third parties will not gain unauthorized access despite our efforts. If such unauthorized disclosure or access does occur, we may be required under existing and proposed laws to notify persons whose information was disclosed or accessed. We also may be subject to claims of breach of contract for such disclosure, investigation and penalties by regulatory authorities and potential claims by persons whose information was disclosed.

 

We may be subject to liability for our use or distribution of information that we gather or receive from third parties and indemnity protections or insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover such liability.

 

We obtain content and commerce information from third parties. When we distribute this information, we may be liable for the data that is contained in that content. This could subject us to legal liability for such things as defamation, negligence, intellectual property infringement, violation of privacy or publicity rights and product or service liability, among others. Laws or regulations of certain jurisdictions may also deem some content

 

22


Table of Contents

illegal, which may expose us to legal liability as well. We also gather personal information from users in order to provide personalized services. Gathering and processing this personal information may subject us to legal liability for, among other things, negligence, defamation, invasion of privacy or product or service liability. We are also subject to laws and regulations, both in the United States and abroad, regarding the collection and use of end user information and search related data. If we do not comply with these laws and regulations, we may be exposed to legal liability.

 

Although the agreements by which we obtain content contain indemnity provisions, these provisions may not cover a particular claim or type of claim or the party giving the indemnity may not have the financial resources to cover the claim. Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover fully the amounts or types of claims that might be made against us. Any liability that we incur as a result of content we receive from third parties could harm our financial results.

 

If others claim that our products infringe their intellectual property rights, we may be forced to seek expensive licenses, reengineer our products, engage in expensive and time-consuming litigation or stop marketing and licensing our products.

 

Third parties have in the past and may in the future make claims against us alleging infringement of copyrights, trademark rights, trade secret rights or other proprietary rights, or alleging unfair competition or violations of privacy or publicity rights. In some cases, the ownership or scope of an entity’s or person’s rights is unclear and may also change over time, including through changes in U.S. or international intellectual property laws or regulations or through court decisions or decisions by agencies or regulatory boards that manage such rights.

 

We attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights of third parties in our product development, marketing, and licensing efforts. However, we do not regularly conduct patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. Patent searches generally return only a fraction of the issued patents that may be deemed relevant to a particular product or service. It is therefore nearly impossible to determine, with any level of certainty, whether a particular product or service may be construed as infringing a U.S. or foreign patent. Because patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, applications may have been filed by third parties that relate to our products. In addition, other companies, as well as research and academic institutions, have conducted research for many years in the search technology field, and this research could lead to the filing of further patent applications.

 

If we were to discover that our products violated or potentially violated third-party proprietary rights, including those third-party proprietary rights that came about due to decisions and other changes regarding a person’s or entity’s proprietary rights discussed above, we might be required to obtain licenses that are costly or contain terms unfavorable to us, or expend substantial resources to reengineer those products so that they would not violate such third party rights. Any reengineering effort may not be successful, and we cannot be certain that any such licenses would be available on commercially reasonable terms. Any third-party infringement claims against us could result in costly litigation or liability and be time consuming to defend, divert management’s attention and resources, cause product and service delays or require us to enter into royalty and licensing agreements.

 

We rely heavily on our technology and intellectual property, but we may be unable to adequately or cost-effectively protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, thus weakening our competitive position and negatively impacting our financial results.

 

To protect our rights in our products, services, and technology, we rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, patents, trade secrets, and confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties and protective contractual provisions. We also rely on the law pertaining to trademarks and domain names to protect the value of our corporate brands and reputation. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights,

 

23


Table of Contents

unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our products, services or technology, or obtain and use information, marks or technology that we regard as proprietary, or otherwise violate or infringe our intellectual property rights. In addition, it is possible that others could independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. If we do not effectively protect our intellectual property, or if others independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property, we could lose our competitive position.

 

Effectively policing the unauthorized use of our products, services, and technology is time-consuming and costly, and there can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology or other proprietary assets. Our intellectual property may be subject to even greater risk in foreign jurisdictions, as protection is not sought or obtained in every country in which our products, services, and technology are available. Also, the laws of many countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States and intellectual property developed for us by our employees or contractors in foreign jurisdictions may not be as protected as if created in the United States and it is often more difficult and costly to enforce our rights in foreign jurisdictions. If we cannot adequately protect our intellectual property, our competitive position may suffer.

 

We have implemented anti-takeover provisions that could make it more difficult to acquire us.

 

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors, even if the transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders. Provisions of our charter documents which could have an anti-takeover effect include:

 

   

the classification of our board of directors into three groups so that directors serve staggered three-year terms, which may make it difficult for a potential acquirer to gain control of our board of directors;

 

   

the ability to authorize the issuance of shares of undesignated preferred stock without a vote of stockholders;

 

   

a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent; and

 

   

limitations on stockholders’ ability to call special stockholder meetings.

 

On July 19, 2002, our board of directors adopted a stockholder rights plan, pursuant to which we declared and paid a dividend of one right for each share of common stock held by stockholders of record as of August 9, 2002. Unless redeemed by us prior to the time the rights are exercised, upon the occurrence of certain events, the rights will entitle the holders to receive shares of our preferred stock, or shares of an acquiring entity. The issuance of the rights would make the acquisition of InfoSpace more expensive to the acquirer and could delay or discourage third parties from acquiring InfoSpace without the approval of our board of directors.

 

RISKS RELATED TO THE INDUSTRIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE

 

Intense competition in the online search markets could prevent us from increasing distribution of our services in those markets or cause us to lose market share.

 

Our current business model depends on distribution of our products and services into the online search markets, which are extremely competitive and rapidly changing. Many of our competitors or potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, more developed infrastructures, greater name recognition or more established relationships in the industry than we have. Our competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies, develop and expand their product and service offerings more rapidly, adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer and distribution partner requirements more quickly, take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily, achieve greater economies of scale, and devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and services than we can. Some of the companies we compete with are currently customers

of ours, the loss of any of which could harm our business. Because of these competitive factors and due to our relatively small size and financial resources, we may be unable to compete successfully.

 

Additionally, our financial results could be adversely affected as well if our distribution partners create their own products and services that compete or replace the products and services we provide or they acquire such products and services from other sources. We continue to experience increased competition from customers seeking to enter into agreements directly with our existing or potential distribution partners, making it increasingly difficult for us to renew agreements with existing major distribution partners or to enter into distribution agreements with new partners on favorable terms.

 

Consolidation in the industries in which we operate could lead to increased competition and loss of customers.

 

The Internet industry (including online search) has experienced substantial consolidation. This consolidation may continue. These acquisitions could adversely affect our business and results of operations in a number of ways, including the following:

 

   

customers could acquire or be acquired by one of our other customers, or enter into new business relationships with each other, and stop licensing content to us or gain additional negotiating leverage in their relationships with us;

 

   

our distribution partners could acquire or be acquired by one of our competitors and terminate their relationship with us;

 

   

our distribution partners could merge with each other, which could reduce our ability to negotiate favorable terms; and

 

   

competitors could improve their competitive positions through strategic acquisitions or new business relationships with each other.

 

Consolidation in the Internet industry could have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

Security breaches may pose risks to the uninterrupted operation of our systems.

 

Our networks or those from third parties that we utilize may be vulnerable to unauthorized access by hackers or others, computer viruses and other disruptive problems. Someone who is able to circumvent security measures could misappropriate our proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. Subscribers to some of our services are required to provide information in order to utilize the service that may be considered to be personally identifiable or private information. Unauthorized access to, and abuse of, this information could subject us to a risk of loss or litigation and liability.

 

We may need to expend significant capital or other resources protecting against the threat of security breaches or alleviating problems caused by breaches. Although we intend to continue to implement and improve our security measures, persons may be able to circumvent the measures that we implement in the future. Eliminating computer viruses and alleviating other security problems may require interruptions, delays or cessation of service to users accessing our services, any of which could harm our business.

 

Governmental regulation and the application of existing laws may slow business growth, increase our costs of doing business and create potential liability.

 

The growth and development of the Internet has led to new laws and regulations, as well as the application of existing laws to the Internet. Application of these laws can be unclear. The costs of complying or failure to comply with these laws and regulations could limit our ability to operate in our markets, expose us to compliance costs and substantial liability and result in costly and time-consuming litigation.

Table of Contents

Several federal or state laws and the laws and regulations of foreign countries could impact our business. Federal laws include those designed to restrict the online distribution of certain materials deemed harmful to children and impose additional restrictions or obligations for online services when dealing with minors. Such legislation may impose significant additional costs on our business or subject us to additional liabilities. The application to advertising in our industries of existing laws regulating or requiring licenses for certain businesses can be unclear. Such regulated businesses may include, for example, gambling; distribution of pharmaceuticals, alcohol, tobacco or firearms; or insurance, securities brokerage and legal services. Additionally, certain bills are pending and some laws have been passed in certain jurisdictions setting forth requirements that must be met before a downloadable application is downloaded to an end user’s computer. Foreign countries in which we provide our services have and may in the future enact laws and regulations governing the provision of online search services, including the collection, use, disclosure, display and retention of end user information and data as part of such services that may affect the ability to continue to provide such services in the manner currently provided.

 

We post our privacy policies and practices concerning the use and disclosure of user data. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policies, Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) requirements or other privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings by the FTC or others, including potential class action litigation, which could potentially have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In this regard, there are a large number of legislative proposals before the United States Congress and various state legislative bodies regarding privacy and data protection issues related to our business. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could materially and adversely affect our business through a decrease in user registrations and revenues. This could be caused by, among other possible provisions, the required use of disclaimers or other requirements before users can utilize our services.

 

The FTC has recommended to search engine providers that paid-ranking search results be delineated from non-paid results. To the extent that the FTC may in the future issue specific requirements regarding the nature of such delineation, which would require modifications to the presentation of search results, revenue from the affected search engines could be negatively impacted.

 

Due to the nature of the Internet, it is possible that the governments of states and foreign countries might attempt to regulate Internet transmissions, through data protection laws amongst others, or institute proceedings for violations of their laws. We might unintentionally violate such laws, such laws may be modified and new laws may be enacted in the future. Any such developments (or developments stemming from enactment or modification of other laws) could increase the costs of regulatory compliance for us or force us to change our business practices.

 

We rely on the infrastructure of the Internet networks, over which we have no control and the failure of which could substantially undermine our operations.

 

Our success depends, in large part, on other companies maintaining the Internet system infrastructure. In particular, we rely on other companies to maintain a reliable network backbone that provides adequate speed, data capacity and security and to develop products that enable reliable Internet access and services. As the Internet continues to experience growth in the number of users, frequency of use and amount of data transmitted, the Internet system infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it, and the Internet’s performance or reliability may suffer as a result of this continued growth. Some of the companies that we rely upon to maintain network infrastructure may lack sufficient capital to take the necessary steps to support such demands or their long-term operations. The failure of the internet infrastructure would substantially undermine our operations and may have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

ITEM 6. Selected Financial Data

 

The following selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this report. The selected consolidated statements of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004 and the consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. In 2007, we sold our mobile and directory businesses to unaffiliated third parties, and our mobile and directory businesses have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and the remaining search business’s operating results are partly based on identifying and assigning costs to our search business that were initially shared by those three businesses. The process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations relied on certain estimates and assumptions, and the historical results of operations presented in our selected financial data do not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have existed had we provided our search services as a standalone business.

(1)   Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires an enterprise to expense the fair value of an award of an equity instrument. Operating expenses from continuing operations in 2008, 2007, and 2006 include $14.3 million, $34.1 million, and $11.3 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense, allocated as follows (in thousands):

(2)   In 2007, we recorded employee expenses from continuing operations related to the cash distributions to shareholders of $56.2 million. The expense was allocated as follows: $668,000 to Systems and network operations, $1.5 million to Product development, $6.8 million to Sales and marketing, and $47.3 million to General and administrative.
(3)   In 2007, we recorded restructuring charges of $9.6 million, comprised of $8.0 million of employee separation costs, $831,000 of losses on contractual commitments, and $670,000 of stock-based compensation. In 2006, we recorded restructuring charges of $62.3 million comprised of $44.5 million of impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, $8.7 million of employee separation costs, $5.7 million of losses on contractual commitments, $2.6 million in costs of abandoned facilities, and $824,000 of stock-based compensation expense.
(4)   In 2005, we received proceeds of $83.2 million from the settlement of several outstanding litigation matters and recognized a gain of $79.3 million comprised of the settlement proceeds and interest, less $3.9 million in legal fees.
(5)   In 2007, we recorded a full valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets. In 2006, we recognized a portion of our deferred tax assets related to goodwill, operating loss carryforwards, and equity. In 2005, we recognized a portion of our deferred tax assets related to operating loss carryforwards.
(6)   We completed the sale of our directory business on October 31, 2007, the sale of our mobile business on December 28, 2007, and the sale of our Payment Solutions business on March 31, 2004, and the operating results and gains (losses) from the sales of these businesses have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
(7)   Subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, we identified certain errors affecting our income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2007 and certain items have been restated from amounts previously reported. See “Note 1: The Company and Basis of Presentation” under the subsection, Restatement, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 8, Part II of this Report) for further information.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been revised to give effect to the restatement discussed in “Note 1: The Company and Basis of Presentation” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of Part II of this Report.

 

Overview

 

InfoSpace, Inc. (“InfoSpace”, “Our” or “We”) is a developer of search tools and technologies that assist consumers with finding content and information on the Internet. We use our metasearch technology to power our own branded Web sites and provide online search services to distribution partners.

 

We offer search services that enable Internet users to locate information, merchants, individuals, and products online. We offer search services through our Web sites, such as Dogpile.com, WebCrawler.com, MetaCrawler.com, and WebFetch.com, as well as through the Web properties of distribution partners. Partner versions of our Web offerings are generally private-labeled and delivered with each distribution partner’s unique requirements.

 

We were founded in 1996 and are incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our principal corporate office is located in Bellevue, Washington. We also have an office in Bangalore, India. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “INSP.”

 

From 2004 to 2007, InfoSpace was comprised of three businesses: online search, online directory, and mobile. The mobile business was comprised of a mobile content product offering and a mobile services offering. In 2006, as a result of being informed by one of our carrier partners that it intended to develop direct relationships for mobile ringtone content with the major record labels beginning in 2007, we restructured our operations accordingly, substantially reduced our mobile content offerings in 2007 and sold significant portions of our remaining mobile content assets. In addition, we undertook further strategic restructuring initiatives in 2007 which resulted in the sales of our online directory business and mobile services business in the fourth quarter of 2007. In December 2007, as a result of the sales of those businesses, we committed to a plan to make operational changes to our business, which included a reduction in our workforce and, as part of the workforce reduction, consolidation of our facilities. Following the sale of our mobile and directory businesses, our revenues are derived exclusively from providing online search services.

 

We generate revenues from our Web search services when an end user of our services clicks on a paid search link displayed on our owned Web site or displayed on a distribution partner’s Web property. We receive content for our search services from certain content providers, whom we refer to as our customers. Revenue from Google and Yahoo! jointly account for over 95% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008, and we expect this concentration to continue in the foreseeable future. If either of these customers reduces or eliminates the content it provides to us or our distribution partners, or if either of these customers was unwilling to pay us amounts that it owes us, our financial results may materially suffer. Our principal agreements with these customers expire in 2011.

 

In addition to revenues from search services, we earn service revenue from certain distribution partners, such as a fixed monthly fee in exchange for portal infrastructure services.

 

Our ability to grow our online search services revenue on our owned Web sites relies on growth in the volume of paid clicks, the fees advertisers pay our customers for these paid clicks, and the percentage of these fees our customers share with us.

Table of Contents

Similar to the revenues earned on our owned Web sites, revenues from distribution partners are dependent upon growth in the volume of paid clicks, the fees advertisers pay our customers for these paid clicks, and the percentage of these fees our customers share with us. We have experienced steady growth in revenues from our search services offered through the Web properties of distribution partners, which has been primarily attributable to growth in paid click volumes from new distribution partners’ Web properties in the United States. In recent periods, our customers’ process of measuring the quality of paid clicks and adjusting the fees paid to us has adversely affected revenues from certain of our distribution partners. In an effort to drive quality traffic to our customers, we continue to invest in product development to expand the online search services we offer to our distribution partners.

 

Engineering, operations and product management personnel remain paramount to our ability to deliver high quality online search services, as well as enhance our current technology and grow our product offerings. Therefore, we expect to continue to invest in our workforce and increase our research and development operations in India. Additionally, we may utilize our cash and short-term and long-term available-for-sale investments to acquire businesses and other assets that will enhance our current technologies and extend our product offerings.

 

In 2008, we closed our European facilities and incurred $757,000 in charges primarily related to employee separation.

 

Overview of 2008 Operating Results

 

The following is an overview of our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2008. A more detailed discussion of our operating results, comparing our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, is included under the heading “Historical Results of Operations” in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The operating results of the directory and mobile businesses have been presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations relied on certain estimates and assumptions, and the historical results of operations presented in our consolidated financial statements do not necessarily reflect the results that would have existed had we provided our online search services as a standalone business throughout the periods presented. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of our business, overall market conditions and the process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations, we believe that comparisons of our 2008 operating results to prior years are not necessarily meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as indications of future performance. The loss from our discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $1.5 million in 2008, compared to $25.2 million in 2007.

 

Revenues for 2008 increased to $156.7 million from $140.5 million in 2007. This increase was due to an increase in revenue from search results delivered through our distribution partners. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our owned and operated properties. Revenue from owned and operated properties was down due to a decrease in the average fees per paid click that our customers share with us although paid click volume on our owned properties increased in 2008. The decrease in average fees per paid click was the result of a decrease in advertiser fees paid per click to our customers and a shift in the mix of revenue reflecting a higher proportion derived from our direct marketing initiatives on our owned properties. Average fees per paid click for revenues derived through our direct marketing initiatives historically have been lower. During 2008, 65% of our search revenues came from our search distribution partners, compared to 58% in 2007.

 

Content and distribution costs for 2008 increased to $76.0 million from $61.8 million in 2007, primarily due to an increase in revenue from search results delivered through certain of our distribution partners, and increases in our revenue sharing rates with our distribution partners.

Other operating expenses for 2008, excluding Restructuring and Other, net, were $77.1 million, a decrease of $82.5 million from $159.6 million in 2007. Other operating expenses include expenses related to Systems and network operations, Product development, Sales and marketing, General and administrative, and Depreciation. The decrease from 2007 was primarily attributable to expenses recorded in 2007 for cash payments and equity awards to employees and directors related to the $507.3 million in cash distributions to shareholders declared in 2007, and stock-based compensation related to accelerating the vesting of equity awards for certain employees in connection with the sale of our mobile and directory businesses, and a decrease in 2008 in other operating expenses as a result of our restructuring described in the “Overview” section above.

 

Total restructuring charges for 2008 were $17,000, compared to $9.6 million in 2007. Other, net of $1.9 million and $3.2 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively, was related to the gains on the sales of non-core assets. Loss on investments, net for 2008 was $28.5 million, compared to $2.1 million in 2007. The increase from 2007 was primarily due to other-than-temporary impairments of our auction rate securities investments and our investment in a privately-owned company.

 

Other income decreased to $7.1 million in 2008 compared to other income of $18.2 million in 2007 primarily due to reduced interest income resulting from lower cash and marketable investments balances as well as from declining interest rates. We recognized income tax expense from continuing operations in 2008 of $598,000 primarily relating to current federal, state and foreign income taxes, compared to income tax expense from continuing operations in 2007 of $13.4 million, primarily from the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

 

Loss from continuing operations in 2008 was $16.5 million, compared to loss from continuing operations of $84.5 million in 2007, and was attributable to the items noted above.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosures of contingencies. In some cases, we could have reasonably used different accounting policies and estimates.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has defined a company’s most critical accounting policies as the ones that are the most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates used, including those related to revenue recognition, the fair value of investments, impairment of goodwill, the estimated allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, discontinued operations, accrued contingencies and the valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and, based on information available to us at that time, we make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources as well as identify and assess our accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We also have other accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. For additional information see “Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 8 of Part II of this Report).

Revenue Recognition

 

Our revenues are derived from products and services delivered to our search customers. In general, we recognize revenues in the period in which the services are performed. Search revenue is recorded on a gross basis in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. We are the primary obligor in the revenue-generating relationships with our search engine customers, we separately negotiate each revenue or unit pricing contract independent of any revenue sharing arrangements and assume the credit risk for amounts invoiced to such customers. We, through our meta-search technology, determine the paid click, content and information directed to our owned and operated Web sites and our distribution partners’ Web properties. We earn revenue from our search engine and directory listing customers by providing paid search clicks generated from our distribution partners’ Web properties based on separately negotiated and agreed-upon terms with each distribution partner.

 

We recognize amounts due to our distribution partners in the period they are earned and classify such costs as Content and distribution expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). See “Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 8 of Part II of this Report) for a description of products and services and the related revenue recognition policy.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

On January 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands required disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Our $155.5 million of available-for-sale securities include $141.6 million of investments which are classified as short-term as of December 31, 2008, in the Level 1 input category, as defined by SFAS No. 157, because active markets and quoted prices exist for those assets. The remainder of our available-for-sale securities is comprised of $13.6 million of auction rate securities (“ARS”) which are classified as long-term, in the Level 3 category, as defined by SFAS No. 157, because there are significant unobservable inputs associated with those investments. We paid $33.4 million for our ARS that we held at December 31, 2008, which are floating rate securities with either long-term maturities or no maturity date, which are marketed by financial institutions with auction reset dates primarily at 28-day intervals to provide short-term liquidity, and which pay interest rates at 2% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Beginning in August 2007, auctions for the ARS that we held at December 31, 2008 began to fail due to insufficient bids from buyers, which resulted in higher interest rates being earned on those securities. Although we continue to receive regular interest payments on those ARS, we do not expect to be able to receive the principal amounts until one or more of the following events occur: future auctions of those ARS are successful, we sell those securities in a secondary market which is currently not active, or the issuers redeem those ARS.

 

We own two types of ARS. The first type of ARS is collateralized by investment-grade corporate debt and prime-rated mortgage-backed debt, has a long-term maturity date, and is insured in the event of default by monoline insurance companies. We paid $21.4 million for our holdings at December 31, 2008 in the this type of ARS, and determined the fair values by using discounted cash flow models for both the ARS trust payments and the monoline insurer payments, weighted by the probabilities of trust default and the fair value of the collateral. Those models relied upon certain unobservable inputs, including our estimate of the holding periods, ranging from 6 to 28 years for the ARS trusts and from 16 to 42 years for the monoline insurers, the annual discount rates applied to future cash flows, which we primarily based on the historical credit default swap rates for comparable ARS trust entities and monoline insurance companies, ranging from 4% to 36% in excess of LIBOR for the ARS trusts and from 16% to 49% for the monoline insurers, and our estimate of the probabilities of ARS trust default, ranging from 0% to 50%.

 

34


Table of Contents

The second type of ARS has no maturity date and, in the event of default or liquidation of the collateral by the ARS issuer, we or the ARS trust are entitled to receive non-convertible preferred shares in the ARS issuer; ARS of that type are also known as auction rate preferred securities (“ARPS”). We originally paid $12.0 million for the ARPS that we held at December 31, 2008. In 2008, an issuer of one of our ARPS liquidated the ARPS trust collateral and replaced it with non-cumulative perpetual preferred shares in the ARPS issuer. We paid $5.0 million for that ARPS, and the fair value at December 31, 2008 was zero ($0). We determined the fair value of that ARPS at December 31, 2008 by using a discounted cash flow model for the preferred dividend payments, weighted by the estimated probability of dividend payments being declared and paid. The model relied upon certain unobservable inputs, including our estimate of the holding period, which was 40 years, the annual discount rates applied to future cash flows, which we primarily based on the historical credit default swap rates for the ARPS issuers, ranging from 49% to 82% in excess of LIBOR, and our estimate of the probability of dividends being declared and paid, which was 0%. No dividend has been declared or paid on that ARPS and we do not expect a dividend to be declared or paid in the future. In 2008, an issuer of certain of our ARPS terminated the ARPS trusts and issued us non-cumulative perpetual preferred shares in the ARPS issuer. We paid $7.0 million for those ARPS, and the fair value of the preferred shares at December 31, 2008 was $365,000. We determined the fair values of those preferred shares at December 31, 2008 by using discounted cash flow models for the preferred dividend payments, weighted by the estimated probabilities of dividend payments being declared and paid. The models relied upon certain unobservable inputs including our estimate of the holding periods, which was 40 years, the annual discount rates applied to future cash flows, which we primarily based on the historical credit default swap rates for the ARPS issuer, ranging from 22% to 47% in excess of LIBOR, and our estimate of the probabilities of dividends being declared and paid, ranging from 0% to 50%. Dividends have been declared and paid on those preferred shares subsequent to December 31, 2008. For the remaining ARPS, for which we paid $7.0 million, there was a single issuer, and we determined their fair values to be an aggregate $1.8 million at December 31, 2008 by using discounted cash flow models for the ARPS trust payments, weighted by our estimated probability of trust default. The models relied upon certain unobservable inputs, including our estimate of the holding periods, which was 40 years, the annual discount rate applied to future cash flows, which was primarily based on the historical credit default swap rates for the ARPS issuer, ranging from 11% to 24% in excess of LIBOR, and our estimate of the probabilities of trust default, which was 0%.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of our available-for-sale investments in Loss on investments, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) of $24.3 million, which included $776,000 of impairments previously classified as temporary. We recorded ARS investment impairments in Loss on investments, net of $2.2 million and zero ($0) in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

We review the impairments of our available-for-sale investments in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and related guidance issued by the FASB and the SEC. We classify the impairment of any individual ARS as either temporary or other-than-temporary. The differentiating factors between temporary and other-than-temporary impairments are primarily the length of the time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

As of December 31, 2007, we held warrants to purchase shares in a privately-held company that had a carrying value of $188,000. In the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a charge of $188,000 related to those warrants in Loss on investments, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), reducing the carrying value of those warrants to zero ($0). The warrants are classified in Other long-term assets, in the Level 3 category, because there are significant unobservable inputs associated with them. We consider the warrants to be derivatives, and follow SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted, which requires that all derivatives be carried at fair value. We account for all derivatives by recognizing the changes in their fair values as gains or losses on investments in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Table of Contents

We use fair value measurements on a recurring basis in the assessment of our equity investment in a privately-held company classified as Other long-term assets, in the Level 3 category, because there are significant unobservable inputs associated with them. In the year ended December 31, 2008, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $2.0 million in Loss on investments, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), reducing the carrying value of our investment in that privately-held company to zero ($0). We assessed our investment in that privately-held company for impairment in accordance with FASB Staff Position FAS 115-1/124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, and the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5M, Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. We did not record any impairment charges for the investment in a privately-held company in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

 

In the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, we did not measure the fair value of any of our assets or liabilities other than cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments, warrants and investment in a privately-held company. We consider the carrying values of accounts receivable, notes and other receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and assets and liabilities of discontinued operations to approximate fair values primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

For additional information see “Note 4: Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 8 of Part II of this Report.)

 

Accounting for Goodwill and Certain Other Intangible Assets

 

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances and requires an allocation of goodwill to the portions of a reporting unit when a portion of that reporting unit is disposed. In addition, certain circumstances may require testing for impairment in conjunction with restructuring in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. On a quarterly basis, we assess whether business conditions, including material changes in the fair value of our outstanding common stock, indicate that our goodwill may not be recoverable.

 

When a portion of a reporting unit is disposed, goodwill is allocated to the disposed and retained portions based on the relative fair values of the respective businesses. Allocating goodwill to portions of a reporting unit requires judgment, including the identification of reporting unit portions, assigning assets and liabilities to the portions, assigning goodwill to the portions, and determining the fair value of each portion. The goodwill associated with the disposed portion is included in the portion’s carrying amount in determining the gain or loss on disposal. In 2007, we sold our directory business, which was combined with our search business in our online reporting unit. Based upon our analysis, we allocated $60.5 million of goodwill to our directory business, which was used in determining the gain on its sale to Idearc Inc.

 

Upon the sale of the mobile business in 2007, we determined that we no longer operate separate reporting units. We performed our annual impairment analysis of the goodwill on our balance sheet as of November 30, 2008, and we determined that there was no impairment. Our analysis compared the book value of our shareholders’ equity to the fair value of our outstanding common stock, based on quoted market prices, which exceeded the book value of our shareholders’ equity on the annual measurement date. At December 31, 2008, we had $43.9 million of goodwill on our balance sheet. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, there has been a decline in our market capitalization to an amount below our recorded stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2008. This may be a triggering event requiring us to perform a test for impairment of our goodwill during the quarter ending March 31, 2009 and may result in an impairment charge for some or all of our recorded goodwill balance.

Other intangible assets were tested for impairment by comparing their carrying amounts to their fair values. We measured the fair value of such assets by estimating the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to them, and recognized an impairment if their carrying amounts exceeded the estimated fair values. Such evaluations rely on various assumptions, including the timing of future events and market conditions. At December 31, 2008, we no longer held material other intangible assets.

 

Allowances for Sales and Doubtful Accounts

 

Our management must make estimates of potential future sales allowances related to current period revenues for our products and services. Our sales allowance estimates are primarily based upon customer communications regarding revenue adjustments for poor traffic quality. Additionally, we analyze historical adjustments, current economic trends and changes in customer demand when evaluating the adequacy of the sales allowances. Estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the sales allowance in any accounting period.

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is a management estimate that considers actual facts and circumstances of individual customers and other debtors, such as financial condition and historical payment trends. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance utilizing a combination of specific identification of potentially problematic accounts and identification of accounts that have exceeded payment terms.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires companies to record stock compensation expense for equity-based awards granted, including stock options and restricted stock unit grants, for which expense will be recognized over the service period of the equity-based award based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $14.3 million, $34.1 million and $11.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, respectively.

 

Calculating stock-based compensation expense relies upon certain assumptions, including the expected term of the stock-based awards, stock price volatility, expected interest rate, number and types of stock-based awards, and the pre-vesting forfeiture rate. If we use different assumptions due to changes in our business or other factors, our stock-based compensation expense could vary materially in the future.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, the gains on sale, results of operations and cash flows of the directory and mobile businesses presented for all periods have been reported as discontinued operations. In addition, the assets and liabilities, if any, of the directory and mobile business have been classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations required significant judgment to implement and relied on certain estimates and assumptions. Different estimates and assumptions could materially affect the allocations to the directory and mobile businesses of gains on sale, results of operations, cash flows, assets and liabilities.

 

Contingencies

 

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims and tax matters, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, requires that an estimated loss from a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. We evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our financial position or our results of

operations. See “Note 7: Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 8 of Part II of this Report), for further information regarding contingencies.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We periodically evaluate the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent we believe a portion will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of our deferred tax assets, including our recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available to us for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. There is a wide range of possible judgments relating to the valuation of our deferred tax assets.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, based on the weight of available evidence, we determined that it was not more likely than not that we would realize our deferred tax assets. Accordingly, we provided a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded an income tax benefit on continuing operations primarily attributable to a reduction in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment, and it is very difficult to predict when, if ever, we may conclude that any portion of our deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable.

 

Historical Results of Operations

 

For the year ended December 31, 2008, our net loss totaled $18.7 million, which includes a loss from continuing operations of $16.5 million. We have incurred net losses on an annual basis for all but three of the years since our inception, and as of December 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.0 billion.

 

The operating results of the directory and mobile businesses have been presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations relied on certain estimates and assumptions, and the historical results of operations presented in our consolidated financial statements do not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have existed had we provided our online search services as a standalone business throughout the periods presented, and comparisons of our 2008 revenues and operating results to prior years are not necessarily meaningful. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of our business and overall market conditions, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as indications of future performance.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006

 

Revenues.     We receive revenues from our customers when an end user of our Web search services clicks on a paid search link that is provided by a customer and displayed on our Web site or displayed on the Web property of a distribution partner. Revenues are recognized in the period in which a paid click occurs and are based on the amounts earned and remitted to us by our customers for such clicks. In addition, we earn services revenue from certain distribution partners, such as a fixed monthly fee in exchange for portal infrastructure services. Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 are presented below (in thousands):

 

     2008    Change    2007    Change     2006

Revenue

   $ 156,727    $ 16,190    $ 140,537    $ (13,263 )   $ 153,800

Table of Contents

The increase in revenue for 2008 compared to 2007 was due to an increase in revenue from search results delivered through our distribution partners. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our owned and operated properties. Revenue from owned and operated properties was down due to a decrease in the average fees per paid click that our customers share with us although paid click volume on our owned properties increased in 2008. The decrease in average fees per paid click was the result of a decrease in advertiser fees paid per click to our customers and a shift in the mix of revenue reflecting a higher proportion derived from our direct marketing initiatives on our owned properties. In 2008, 65% of our search revenues came from searches conducted by end users on the Web properties of our search distribution partners.

 

The decrease in revenue for 2007, compared to 2006, was primarily due to a decrease in revenue from search results delivered through certain of our distribution partners, and partially due to decreased paid click volume on our owned properties. In 2007, 58% of our search revenues came from searches conducted by end users on the Web properties of our search distribution partners.

 

We expect that online search revenue from searches conducted by end users on sites of our distribution partners will continue to be a significant share of our online search revenues for the foreseeable future.

 

Content and Distribution Expenses.     Content and distribution expenses consist principally of costs related to revenue sharing arrangements with our content and distribution partners, as well as content and data licenses. Content and distribution expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and as a percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 are presented below:

 

     2008     Change     2007     Change     2006  

Content and Distribution Expenses

   $ 75,969     $ 14,204     $ 61,765     $ (581 )   $ 62,346  

Percent of Revenue

     48.5 %     4.6 %     43.9 %     3.4 %     40.5 %

 

Content and distribution expenses increased by $14.2 million to $76.0 million in 2008 compared to $61.8 million in 2007. The increase in cost as a percent of revenues for content and distribution expense was primarily due to an increase in revenue from search results delivered through our distribution partners, and increases in our revenue sharing rates. We anticipate that our content and distribution costs will increase in absolute dollars if revenues increase through growth from existing arrangements with our distribution partners or we add new distribution partners. If revenue generated from our distribution partners increases at a greater rate than revenues generated from our own branded Web sites, content and distribution costs as a percent of revenue will increase.

 

Content and distribution expenses decreased by $581,000 to $61.8 million in 2007 compared to $62.3 million in 2006. The increase in cost as a percent of revenues for content and distribution expense was primarily due to increases in our revenue sharing rates and minimum contractual payments made to distribution partners.

 

Systems and Network Operations Expenses.     Systems and network operations expenses are associated with the delivery, maintenance and support of our services, data management and infrastructure, including personnel expenses, which include salaries, benefits and other employee related costs, stock-based compensation expense, and costs for temporary help and contractors to augment our staffing, communication costs, equipment repair and maintenance, and professional service fees. Systems and network operations expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and as a percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 are presented below:

 

     2008     Change     2007     Change     2006  

Systems and Network Operations Expenses

   $ 11,537     $ 1,737     $ 9,800     $ (1,694 )   $ 11,494  

Percent of Revenue

     7.4 %     0.4 %     7.0 %     (0.5 )%     7.5 %

 

Systems and network operations expenses increased by $1.7 million to $11.5 million in 2008 compared to $9.8 million in 2007. The absolute dollar increase for 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily attributable to an

 

40


Table of Contents

increase of $599,000 in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $573,000 in stock-based compensation expense, and an increase of $542,000 in contractors to augment staffing. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in employee expenses of $650,000 related to the cash distributions to shareholders declared in 2007.

 

Systems and network operations expenses decreased by $1.7 million to $9.8 million in 2007 compared to $11.5 million in 2006. The absolute dollar decrease for 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.7 million in personnel expenses and a $705,000 decrease in professional services fees. Partially offsetting these decreases were employee expenses of $668,000 related to the cash distributions to shareholders.

 

Product Development Expenses.     Product development expenses consist principally of personnel expenses, which include salaries, stock-based compensation expense, benefits and other employee related costs, and temporary help and contractors to augment our staffing, research, development, support and ongoing enhancements of our products and services. Product development expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and as a percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 are presented below:

 

     2008     Change     2007     Change     2006  

Product Development Expenses

   $ 9,931     $ 10     $ 9,921     $ 3,107     $ 6,814  

Percent of Revenue

     6.3 %     (0.8 )%     7.1 %     2.7 %     4.4 %

 

Product development expenses increased by $10,000 to $9.9 million in 2008 compared to $9.9 million in 2007. The absolute dollar increase in 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily attributable to an increase of $900,000 in stock-based compensation expense and an increase of $398,000 in salaries and employee benefits. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in employee expenses related to the cash distributions to shareholders.

 

Product development expenses increased by $3.1 million to $9.9 million in 2007 compared to $6.8 million in 2006. The absolute dollar increase in 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily attributable to employee expenses of $1.5 million related to the cash distributions to shareholders, an increase of $1.4 million in stock-based compensation expense and an increase in professional services fees of $877,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $535,000 in expenses for temporary employees as a result of the restructuring of our operations that we implemented in 2006.

 

Product development costs may not be consistent with changes in revenues as they represent key costs to develop and enhance our product and service offerings. We believe that investments in technology are necessary to remain competitive, and we anticipate that we will continue to invest in our products and services.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses.     Sales and marketing expenses consist principally of personnel costs, which include salaries, stock-based compensation expense, benefits and other employee related costs, and the cost of temporary help and contractors to augment our staffing, and marketing expenses associated with our owned and operated Web sites, consisting of agency fees, brand promotion expense, market research expense and online direct marketing expense associated with traffic acquisition. Sales and marketing expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and as a percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 are presented below:

Percent of Revenue

     15.5 %     (5.3 )%     20.8 %     10.4 %     10.4 %

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $5.0 million to $24.3 million in 2008 compared to $29.3 million in 2007. The absolute dollar decrease in 2008 was primarily attributable to a decrease in employee expenses of $6.9 million related to the cash distributions to shareholders, a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million, and a decrease in professional services fees of $646,000. These decreases were partially offset by an

increase in marketing expenses associated with our owned and operated Web sites of $6.3 million and an increase in salaries and employee benefits totaling $996,000.

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $13.3 million to $29.3 million in 2007 compared to $15.9 million in 2006. The absolute dollar increase in 2007 was primarily attributable employee expenses of $6.8 million related to the cash distributions to shareholders, an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $5.5 million, an increase in personnel expenses totaling $2.0 million, an increase in professional services fees of $596,000, and an increase in employee-related expenses of $324,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in marketing expenses associated with our owned and operated Web sites of $2.1 million.

 

We expect to continue to invest in marketing initiatives to promote search services on our branded Web sites.

 

General and Administrative Expenses.     General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, which include salaries, benefits and other employee related costs, stock-based compensation expense, professional service fees, which include legal fees, audit fees, SEC compliance costs, which include costs related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, certain legal settlements, occupancy and general office expenses, and general business development and management expenses. General and administrative expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and as a percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 are presented below:

General and administrative expenses decreased by $81.0 million to $24.1 million in 2008 compared to $105.1 million in 2007. The absolute dollar decrease in 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily attributable to employee expenses of $46.5 million related to the cash distributions to shareholders declared in 2007, a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $16.8 million, a decrease in professional services fees of $9.9 million, decreases in salaries and employee benefits totaling $2.5 million, a decrease in expense due to a contract termination charge of $2.3 million in 2007, a decrease in software licensing fees of $1.6 million, and a decrease in insurance expense of $1.0 million.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $70.6 million to $105.1 million in 2007 compared to $34.5 million in 2006. The absolute dollar increase in 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily attributable to employee expenses of $47.3 million related to the cash distributions to shareholders, an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $15.9 million, increases in personnel expenses totaling $3.2 million, a contract termination charge of $2.3 million, an increase in software licensing fees of $2.0 million, and an increase in professional services fees of $1.0 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in facilities costs of $1.5 million.

 

Restructuring.     Restructuring charges reflect actual and estimated costs associated with the reductions in workforce and costs associated with the consolidation and closures of certain of our facilities. Restructuring charges for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 are presented below (in thousands):

In 2008, we recorded $17,000 of restructuring expense related to plans committed to in 2007 and 2006, as described below.

 

In 2007, we sold our directory and mobile services businesses and, as a result, we committed to a plan to make operational changes to our business, which included a reduction in our workforce and, as part of the workforce reduction, consolidation of our facilities. We recorded $7.4 million of expense related to that plan in 2007, and $2.2 million of adjustments and additions in 2007 relating to our restructuring plan committed to in 2006, as described below.

 

In 2006, as a result of being informed by one of our carrier partners that it intended to develop direct relationships for mobile ringtone content with the major record labels beginning in 2007, we committed to a plan to substantially reduce our mobile content offerings and make operational changes to our business, which included a reduction in our workforce and, as part of the workforce reduction, consolidation of our facilities.

 

We do not expect to incur material restructuring charges in 2009 related to initiatives identified to date.

 

Depreciation.     Depreciation of property and equipment includes depreciation of network servers and data center equipment, computers, software, office equipment and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Depreciation expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 are presented below (in thousands):

 

     2008    Change    2007    Change    2006

Depreciation Expenses

   $ 7,335    $ 1,793    $ 5,542    $ 498    $ 5,044

 

The $1.8 million increase from 2007 to 2008 was primarily a result of increases in depreciation of $810,000 for purchased software, increases in depreciation of $775,000 for our internally developed software, and increases in depreciation expense of $548,000 for data center equipment.

 

The $498,000 increase from 2006 to 2007 was primarily a result of depreciation of $1.1 million for property and equipment recently placed in service related to our data centers and increases in depreciation of $349,000 for our internally developed software. These increases were partially offset by reductions in depreciation of $876,000 related to leasehold improvements.

 

Other, Net.     Other, net consists of costs, charges, refunds or gains that are not directly associated with other revenue or operating expense classifications. Other, net of $1.9 million in 2008 and $3.2 million in 2007 consisted of gains on the sale of non-core assets.

In the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we determined that a portion of our auction rate securities, which we classify as long-term available-for-sale securities, were other-than-temporarily impaired, and we recorded a loss on investments of $24.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2008, we determined that our equity investment and related warrants in a privately-held company, as well as a convertible note from that company, were fully impaired, and we recorded a loss on investments of $4.2 million.

In accordance with SFAS No. 133, we adjust our derivative instruments to fair value and recognize the change in the recorded fair value in earnings. We hold warrants to purchase stock in other companies, which qualify as derivatives, and therefore gains or losses are based on the fair value.

Interest income decreased primarily due to lower cash and marketable investments balances in 2008 compared to 2007 and a decline in interest rates. Interest income decreased primarily due to lower cash and marketable investments balances in 2007 compared to 2006.

 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit).     During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded an income tax expense on continuing operations of $598,000 and $13.4 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded an income tax benefit on continuing operations of $29.1 million. The 2008 income tax expense of $598,000 is primarily attributable to a $5.6 million tax benefit from current year operations, $436,000 tax expense for non-deductible compensation paid to an executive, and a $5.4 million tax expense for the net increase in the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. The 2007 income tax expense of $13.4 million is primarily attributable to a $16.0 million tax expense for increasing the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, a $22.3 million tax expense for non-deductible compensation paid to certain executives, and a $24.9 million tax benefit from current year operations. The 2006 income tax benefit of $29.1 million is primarily attributable to a reduction in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $28.6 million related to net operating losses, an $8.2 million tax expense from the non-deductible impairment of certain intangible assets, and a net tax benefit of $8.8 million from current year operations.

 

At December 31, 2008, we had gross deferred tax assets of $321.7 million, primarily comprised of $289.1 million of accumulated net operating loss carryforwards. During 2008, we determined that it was not more likely than not that we would realize our deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we provided a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. If in the future, we determine that the realization of any portion of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not to be realized, we will record a benefit to the income statement or to additional paid-in-capital, as appropriate.

 

Income from Discontinued Operations and Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations.     In 2007, we completed the sale of our directory and mobile businesses and have reflected income (loss) from those businesses as income (loss) from discontinued operations. For 2007, we recorded a gain on the sale of the directory business of $57.3 million and a gain on the sale of the mobile services business of $74.2 million. For 2008, we recorded a gain on the sale of the directory business of $48,000 and a loss on the sale of the mobile services business of $818,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, initially generated from proceeds from private placements and our initial and follow-on public offerings. In addition, more recently we have generated cash from operations in certain periods. Further in 2007, we received proceeds of $225.0 million from the sale of our directory business, and $135.0 million from the sale of our mobile business. In 2008 and 2007, we paid special dividends to our shareholders of $299.3 million and $208.2 million, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and marketable investments of $205.4 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $49.9 million, short-term investments available-for-sale of $141.6 million, and long-term investments available-for-sale of $13.9 million.

 

We generally invest our excess cash in high quality marketable investments. These investments include securities issued by U.S. government agencies, certificates of deposit, money market funds, corporate bonds and taxable municipal bonds.

Operating lease commitments.     We have entered into various non-cancelable operating leases agreements for our offices that expire through 2013. We are committed to pay a portion of the related operating expenses under certain of these lease agreements. These operating expenses are not included in the table above. Certain of these leases have escalating rent payment provisions and we recognize rent expense under such leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

Purchase commitments.     Our purchase commitments consist primarily of non-cancelable service agreements for our data centers. Included in the table above are purchase commitments of $343,000 and $344,000 due in 2009 and 2010, respectively, which are reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet.

 

Capital lease commitments.     We entered into capital lease agreements for certain equipment used in our data centers in 2008.

 

We have pledged a portion of our cash as collateral for standby letters of credit and bank guaranties for certain of our property leases and banking arrangements. At December 31, 2008, the total amount of collateral pledged under these agreements was $5.1 million.

Cash Flows

 

Net cash provided (used) by operating activities consists of net income (loss) offset by certain adjustments not affecting current-period cash flows and the effect of changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Adjustments to net income (loss) to determine cash flow from operations include the loss from discontinued operations, the gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, restructuring charges, depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, realized loss on long-term investments, net gain on sale of certain assets, deferred taxes and excess tax benefits from stock-based award activity. Net cash provided (used) by investing activities primarily consists of transactions related to our investments, purchases of property and equipment, loan to equity investee and proceeds from the sale of certain assets. Net cash provided (used) by financing activities consists of a special dividend paid to our shareholders, proceeds from the issuance of stock through the exercise of stock options or warrants and our employee stock purchase plan, cash used to repurchase outstanding stock, and excess tax benefits from stock-based award activity. Net cash provided (used) by operating activities for each of 2008, 2007 and 2006 reflects cash flows from continuing operations only, and does not reflect net cash provided (used) by discontinued operations. The process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations relied on certain estimates and assumptions, and the historical results of operations presented in our consolidated financial statements do not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have existed had we provided our online search services as a standalone business throughout the periods presented. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of our business, overall market conditions and the process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our cash flows are not necessarily meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as indications of future performance.

 

Net cash provided (used) by discontinued operations consists of proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations, net cash used to acquire businesses now classified as discontinued operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations, net changes in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, and purchases of property and equipment classified as discontinued operations.

 

Our net cash flows are comprised of the following for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 (in thousands):

 

     2008     2007     2006

Net cash provided (used) by financing activities

Net cash provided (used) by discontinued operations

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents

   $ (448,390 )   $ 335,939     $ 10,707  
                        

 

Net cash used by operating activities was $20.2 million in 2008, consisting of our net loss of $18.7 million, cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $59.3 million, consisting of decreases in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and adjustments not affecting cash flows used by operating activities of $4.6 million, primarily consisting of decreases in deferred income taxes and the gain on sale of assets. Offsetting the decrease was cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $9.4 million, consisting of decreases in notes and other receivables, other long-term assets, accounts receivable, and prepaid expenses and other current assets and increases in accounts payable, and adjustments not affecting cash flows provided by operating activities of $52.9 million, primarily consisting of the loss on long-term investments, stock-based compensation, depreciation, the loss from discontinued operations and the loss on sale of discontinued operations.

Partially offsetting cash used in financing activities was $603,000 from the exercise of stock options and the sale of shares through our employee stock purchase plan.

 

Net cash used by financing activities in 2007 was $169.4 million, primarily from the special dividend of $208.2 million paid in May 2007.

discontinued operations of $33.8 million. Net cash used by the operating activities attributable to discontinued operations activities in 2006 was $32.6 million.

 

We plan to use our cash to fund operations, develop technology, advertise, market and distribute our products and services, and continue the enhancement of our network infrastructure. We may use a portion of our cash for acquisitions, to pay special dividends, or for common stock repurchases.

 

We believe that existing cash balances, cash equivalents, short term investments and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. However, the underlying assumed levels of revenues and expenses may not prove to be accurate. Our anticipated cash needs exclude any payments for pending or future litigation matters. In addition, we evaluate acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies that complement our business from time to time. Any such transactions, if completed, may use a significant portion of our cash balances and marketable investments. If we are unable to liquidate these investments when we need such liquidity for business purposes, we may need to change or postpone such business purposes or find alternative financing for such business purposes, if available. We may seek additional funding through public or private financings or other arrangements prior to such time. Adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders will result. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.

 

Illiquid Investments

Quarterly Results of Operations (Unaudited)

 

The following table presents a summary of our unaudited consolidated results of operations for the eight quarters ended December 31, 2008. The information for each of these quarters has been prepared on a basis consistent with our audited consolidated financial statements. In 2007, we sold our mobile and directory businesses to unaffiliated third parties, and our mobile and directory businesses have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and the remaining search business’s operating results are partly based on identifying and assigning costs to our search business that were initially shared by those three businesses. The process used to separately present continuing and discontinued operations relied on certain

(1)   Subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, we identified certain errors affecting our income tax provision for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 related to the determination of the amount of net operating loss carryforwards utilized in 2007 to offset taxable income for 2007. These errors resulted principally from the recognition of our utilization of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards, as well as errors related to temporary differences in the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. As a result of these errors, we overstated the portion of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards that relate to tax deductions associated with the exercise of stock options, which are accounted for as additional paid-in capital, with a corresponding overstatement of income tax expense from continuing operations in the amount of $6.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. We also overstated our tax expense related to discontinued operations by $892,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.

We believe the correction of these errors is not material to the 2007 consolidated financial statements, and therefore we are restating our 2007 consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). In SFAS No. 141(R), the FASB retained the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141 to account for all business combinations using the acquisition method and for an acquiring entity to be identified in all business combinations. However, the revised standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to immediately expense costs related to the acquisition. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements when effective will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions completed after the effective date.

 

On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. We are currently evaluating the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157 to determine what effect its adoption on January 1, 2009 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities will have on our financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

 

On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. FSP No. 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP No. 157-3 became effective immediately, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Therefore, we adopted the provisions of FSP No. 157-3 in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in the market values of our investments.

 

Interest Rate Risk.     We invest our available cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies. By policy, we limit our credit exposure to any one issuer. We do not have any derivative instruments in our investment portfolio. We protect and preserve invested funds by limiting default, market and reinvestment risk. Investments in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed-rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2008, our cash equivalent balances in money market funds were $36.3 million, our short-term investment balances were $141.6 million and our long-term investment balances were $13.9 million.

 

The following table provides information about our cash equivalent and marketable fixed-income securities, including principal cash flows for 2008 and the related weighted average interest rates. Amounts are presented in U.S. dollar equivalents, which is our reporting currency.

 

Principal amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected year of maturity in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2008 are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

 

    2009     2010 -2013     Thereafter     Total     Fair Value

U.S. government securities

  $ 140,435    2.02 %   $ —      0.0 %   $ —      0.0 %   $ 140,435    2.02 %   $ 141,592

Money market funds

    36,303    0.98 %     —      0.0 %     —      0.0 %     36,303    0.98 %     36,303

Auction rate securities

    —      0.0 %     —      0.0 %     40,430    3.92 %     40,430    3.92 %     13,916
                                         

Cash equivalents and marketable fixed-income securities

  $ 176,738      $ —        $ 40,430      $ 217,168      $ 191,811
                                         

 

Foreign Currency Risk.     Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in the exchange rates of the principal currency of foreign countries where we operate (Canada, countries in Europe, and India) versus the U.S. dollar. We are exposed to these exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of our non-U.S. based subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, those results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact our consolidated results. The cumulative translation effects for subsidiaries using functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. We do not currently use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates as this exposure has had an immaterial impact on our past financial results.

 

Financial Market Risk.     We do not invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Included within our investment portfolio at December 31, 2008 were auction rate securities (“ARS”) that we purchased for $33.4 million. These investments failed to trade at auctions due to insufficient bids from buyers. While we now earn a premium interest rate on $28.4 million of the ARS that failed to settle in the auction process, the investments cannot be quickly converted into cash and were considered illiquid as of December 31, 2008. We determined that the fair value of those ARS was $13.6 million at December 31, 2008, and we recorded an other-than- temporary impairment of $14.9 million related to a portion of the ARS, recorded as Loss on investments, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2008. If the ARS issuers are unable to successfully close future auctions and their credit ratings deteriorate, the fair value of those ARS may continue to decline and we may record further other-than-temporary impairment charges. In 2008, an issuer of one of our ARS terminated the ARS trust and issued us

Table of Contents

preferred shares in the ARS issuer. We paid $7.0 million for those ARS that were replaced with preferred shares, and the fair value of those preferred shares at December 31, 2008 was $365,000, and we recorded an other-than- temporary impairment of $5.7 million and $944,000 related to those ARS for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and we now receive non-cumulative dividends on those preferred shares instead of interest payments. If the preferred share issuer continues to have its credit ratings deteriorate, the fair value of those preferred shares may continue to decline and we may record further other-than-temporary impairment charges. In 2008, an issuer of one of our ARS liquidated the trust collateral and replaced it with non-cumulative perpetual preferred shares in the ARS issuer, which has not paid a dividend, and we do not expect it to pay a dividend. We paid $5.0 million for that ARS, and the fair value at December 31, 2008 was zero ($0). The global financial markets experienced unusual and significant distress during 2008 and that distress is continuing and may continue to the end of 2009 and possibly longer, which may continue to impair our ability to liquidate those ARS.

 

Based on our ability to access our cash and short-term investments, our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources of cash, we do not anticipate that the lack of liquidity of these investments will affect our ability to operate our businesses in the ordinary course.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

InfoSpace, Inc.

Bellevue, Washington

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InfoSpace, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InfoSpace, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 2, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006

 

Note 1:     The Company and Basis of Presentation

 

Description of the business:     InfoSpace, Inc. (the “Company” or “InfoSpace”) uses its technology, including metasearch, to power its branded Web sites and provide private-label online search services to its distribution partners.

 

Principles of consolidation:     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of presentation:     On October 31, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its directory business to Idearc Inc., for $225.0 million in cash. On December 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale of its mobile business to Motricity, Inc., for $135.0 million in cash. The operating results of the directory and mobile businesses have been presented as discontinued operations for all years presented.

 

Restatement:     Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company identified certain errors affecting the Company’s income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2007 related to the determination of the amount of net operating loss carryforwards utilized in 2007 to offset taxable income for 2007. These errors resulted principally from the recognition of its utilization of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards, as well as errors related to temporary differences in the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. As a result of these errors, the Company overstated the portion of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards that relate to tax deductions associated with the exercise of stock options, which are accounted for as additional paid-in capital, with a corresponding overstatement of its income tax expense from continuing operations in the amount of $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company also overstated its tax expense related to discontinued operations by $892,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. These errors also resulted in an overstatement of additional paid-in capital of $7.0 million and an overstatement of accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $160,000 as of December 31, 2007.

 

The Company believes that the correction of these errors is not material to the 2007 consolidated financial statements, and therefore, the Company is restating its 2007 consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Business combinations:    Business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting include the results of operations of the acquired business from the date of acquisition. Net assets of the business acquired are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition.

 

Segments:    The Company’s chief executive officer, who is its chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by revenue information disaggregated by geographic region and other measures for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s operations are not organized into components below the consolidated unit level, and operating results are not reported to the chief executive officer for components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company’s management considers InfoSpace to be in a single reporting segment and a single operating unit structure.

 

Note 2:    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Cash equivalents:    The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of ninety days or less at date of acquisition to be Cash equivalents, which are carried at fair value.

 

Short-term and long-term investments:    The Company principally invests its available cash in investment-grade debt instruments of corporate issuers and in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies. All debt instruments with original maturities greater than ninety days up to one year from the balance sheet date are considered Short-term investments. Other investments maturing after one year from the balance sheet date are generally considered Long-term investments. The Company accounts for investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 115-1/124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments and

Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

 

the SEC’s SAB Topic 5M, Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. FSP FAS 115-1/124-1 and SAB Topic 5M provide guidance for determining when certain investments are other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company periodically evaluates whether the declines in fair value of its available-for-sale investments are other than temporary. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s Short-term and Long-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at their fair value, with unrealized gains and temporary impairments reported in Other comprehensive income (loss), and other-than-temporary impairments reported as Gains (losses) on investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Property and equipment:    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Computer equipment and software

   3 years

Data center servers

   3 years

Internally developed software

   15 months – 3 years

Office equipment

   7 years

Office furniture

   7 years

Leasehold improvements

  

Shorter of lease term or economic life

 

The Company has capitalized certain internal use software development costs in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Costs capitalized primarily consist of employee salaries and benefits allocated on a project or product basis. The Company capitalized $1.7 million, $1.5 million, and $1.1 million of internal-use software costs in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

 

Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets:    In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, the Company evaluates Goodwill and Other intangible assets at least annually to determine whether there has been any impairment of the value of these assets and evaluates impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, including material changes in the fair value of the Company’s outstanding common stock, indicate that the carrying amount of the Company’s assets might not be recoverable. The Company also accounts for definite-lived intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

 

There has been no change in the Company’s Goodwill during the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008, and the Company held $43.9 million of Goodwill on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

 

Assuming the Company does not acquire businesses or intangible assets in 2009, no amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is expected in 2009.

 

Impairment and Allocation Analyses:    In the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company conducted its annual impairment analyses for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of November 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 and determined that the carrying value of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than in connection with its 2006 restructuring, was not impaired. Before 2008, the annual impairment analyses were based on a valuation of the Company’s reporting units using a combination of the Company’s quoted stock price and projections of future discounted cash flows for each reporting unit. Upon the sale of the mobile business in 2007, the Company determined that it no longer operates separate reporting units. Therefore, the methodology used for the Company’s 2008 analysis compared the balance of its stockholders’ equity to the fair value of its outstanding common stock based on the Company’s quoted stock price.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2007, related to the sale of its directory business, the Company allocated $60.5 million of goodwill to discontinued operations from its former Online segment, based on an analysis using a combination of the revenues, direct contribution to profit and cash flows of the directory and search businesses, and the Company’s quoted stock price.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2006, as part of its restructuring, the Company evaluated its intangible assets and recorded an impairment charge of $12.6 million related to certain definite-lived intangible assets acquired in acquisitions and, accordingly, the Company determined that an impairment occurred and, in addition, as part of the restructuring, Goodwill was evaluated and an impairment charge of $31.9 million was recorded. These impairments are recorded in Restructuring.

 

Other investments:    The Company has invested in equity investments of privately-held companies for business and strategic purposes. Investments in companies whose securities are not publicly traded are recorded at cost. Realized gains are recorded based on the identified specific cost of the investment sold. Warrants held by the Company to purchase equity securities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value with changes in fair value recorded as Gains or losses on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company does not exercise significant influence over the operating or financial policies of any of the non-public companies in which it has invested and therefore accounts for such investments under the cost method and records the investment in Other long-term assets. The Company accounts for these investments in equity instruments in accordance with FSP FAS 115-1/124-1 and SAB Topic 5M which provide guidance on determining when an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company periodically evaluates whether the declines in fair value of its equity investments are other-than-temporary, and reports other-than-temporary impairments as Losses on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

 

Revenues:    The Company generates revenues from its search services. Revenues are generated when an end user of its services clicks on a paid search link displayed on one of the Company’s owned and operated Web sites or through a distribution partner’s Web property, on which the Company provides private-label online search products and services.

 

Search revenue is recorded on a gross basis in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The Company is the primary obligor in the revenue-generating relationships with its search engine customers; it separately negotiates each revenue or unit pricing contract independent of any revenue sharing arrangements and assumes the credit risk for amounts invoiced to such customers. Revenues are recognized in the period in which a paid search occurs and are based

on the amounts earned by and remitted to the Company. The Company, through its meta-search technology, determines the paid search results, content and information directed to its owned and operated Web sites and its distribution partners’ Web properties. The Company earns revenue from its search engine customers by providing paid search results generated from its distribution partners’ Web properties based on separately negotiated and agreed-upon terms with each distribution partner.

Product development expenses:    Product development expenses consist principally of personnel costs, which include salaries, benefits and other employee related costs, stock-based compensation, and temporary help and contractors to augment staffing needs, for research, development, support and ongoing enhancements of the Company’s products and services.

 

Sales and marketing expenses:    Sales and marketing expenses consist principally of personnel costs, which include salaries, benefits and other employee related costs, stock-based compensation, and temporary help and contractors to augment staffing needs, and marketing expenses associated with our owned and operated Web sites, consisting of agency fees, brand promotion expense, market research expense and online direct marketing expense associated with traffic acquisition. Costs for advertising are recorded as expense when the advertisement appears or electronic impressions are recorded. Advertising expense totaled $11.4 million, $4.3 million, and $4.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

 

General and administrative expenses:    General and administrative expenses consist principally of personnel costs, stock-based compensation, professional service fees, which include legal, audit, and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance fees, occupancy and general office expenses, and general business development and management expenses.

 

Stock-based compensation:    The Company measures and recognizes its compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock option grants and purchases of stock made pursuant to the Company’s 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) based on estimated fair values in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

 

SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The value of the award’s portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006.

Employee Benefit Plan:    The Company has a 401(k) savings plan covering its U.S. based employees. Eligible employees may contribute through payroll deductions. The Company may match the employees’ 401(k) contributions at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. During 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to match a portion of the 401(k) contributions made by employees of the Company. The amount contributed by the Company is equal to a maximum of 50% of employee contributions up to a maximum of 3% of an employee’s salary. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company contributed $327,000, $315,000, and $420,000, respectively, for employees of continuing operations.

 

Restructuring charges:    Restructuring charges reflect actual and estimated costs associated with the reductions in workforce and costs associated with the closures of certain Company facilities. In 2007, the Company sold its directory and mobile service businesses and, as a result, committed to a plan to make operational changes to its business, which included a reduction in workforce and, as part of the workforce reduction, consolidation of facilities. In 2006, as a result of being informed by one of its carrier partners that it intended to develop direct relationships for mobile ringtone content with the major record labels beginning in 2007, the Company committed to a plan to make operational changes, which included a reduction in workforce and, as part of the workforce reduction, consolidation of facilities. Charges associated with these restructuring plans are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Changing business conditions may affect the assumptions related to the timing and extent of restructuring activities. The Company will review the status of these activities on a quarterly basis and, if appropriate, record changes based on updated estimates.

Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share if their effect is antidilutive.

Included in the net change in unrealized gains and losses are realized gains or losses included in the determination of Net income (loss) in the period realized. Amounts reclassified out of Other comprehensive income into Net income (loss) were determined on the basis of specific identification. Components of Accumulated other comprehensive income included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 consist of the following (in thousands):

   $ 2,540    $ 702  
               

 

Foreign currencies:    Foreign subsidiary financial statements are denominated in foreign currencies and are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in Other income, net.

 

Concentration of credit risk:    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and trade receivables. These instruments are generally unsecured and uninsured. The Company places its cash equivalents and investments with major financial institutions. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from customers primarily located in the United States operating in a variety of industries and geographic areas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses.

 

Revenue concentration:    The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from a small number of customers. Revenues from the top two customers of the Company represented 95% or more of total revenues in each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. These customers each accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, these two customers each accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.

Fair value of financial instruments:    Financial instruments consist primarily of Cash and cash equivalents, Investments, Notes and other receivables, Prepaid expenses and other assets, Accounts payable, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, Deferred revenues and warrants in other entities. The carrying amount of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates the fair value of such instruments.

 

Derivative instruments:    The Company follows SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted, which requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company accounts for all derivatives by recognizing the changes in their fair values as gains or losses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

 

Income taxes:    The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates the deferred tax assets for future realization and reduces them by a valuation allowance to the extent management of the Company believes that they more likely than not will not be realized. Management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, including recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. Due to the size of the net operating loss carryforwards, their expiration beginning in 2020, and the Company’s recent level of annualized profitability, management has determined that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets and has provided a full valuation allowance. The Company will continue to evaluate the likelihood of the realization of the deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment, and it is very difficult to predict when, if ever, the Company may conclude that any portion of the deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable.

 

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company evaluated the realizability of its remaining deferred tax assets. That evaluation considered, among other factors, the future revenue levels, trends in the industry and the current macroeconomic environment. Based on that evaluation, the Company determined the net deferred tax assets were not more likely than not realizable and provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company provided valuation allowances of $321.7 million and $324.3 million, respectively, against its deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary differences.

 

Lease accounting:    The Company leases office space and computer equipment used in its data centers. All leases are accounted for under the guidance provided by SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. These leases are classified as either capital leases or operating leases, as appropriate. The amortization of assets under capital

leases is included with depreciation expense. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $341,000 of amortization for assets acquired under capital leases was included in depreciation expense. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not have any equipment leased under capital leases.

 

Use of estimates:    The preparation of 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, useful lives of other intangible assets, purchase accounting, valuation of investments and other-than-temporary impairment of investments, revenue recognition, the estimated allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, restructuring-related liabilities, accrued contingencies, stock option valuation, and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual amounts may differ from estimates.

Note 4:    Fair Value Measurements

 

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value for the purposes of GAAP, and expands required disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial assets carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis is as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s available-for-sale securities include $13.6 million of auction rate securities (“ARS”), which are classified as long-term, in the Level 3 category within the input hierarchy, because there are significant unobservable inputs associated with those investments. The Company’s ARS are floating rate securities with either long-term maturities or no maturity date, which are marketed by financial institutions with auction reset dates primarily at 28-day intervals to provide short-term liquidity and pay interest rates at 2% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Beginning in August 2007, auctions for the ARS that the Company held at December 31, 2008 began to fail due to insufficient bids from buyers which resulted in higher interest rates being earned on those securities. The Company recognized $24.3 million and $2.2 million in Loss on Investments, net during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

The Company owns two types of ARS. The first type of ARS is collateralized by investment-grade corporate debt and prime-rated mortgage-backed debt, has a long-term maturity date, and is insured in the event of default by monoline insurance companies. The Company paid $21.4 million for its holdings at December 31, 2008 in this type of ARS, and determined the fair values by using discounted cash flow models for both the ARS trust payments and the monoline insurer payments, weighted by the probabilities of trust default and the fair value of the collateral. Those models relied upon certain unobservable inputs including management’s estimate of the holding periods, ranging from 6 to 28 years for the ARS trusts and from 16 to 42 years for the monoline insurers, the annual discount rates applied to future cash flows, which management primarily based on the historical credit default swap rates for comparable ARS trust entities and monoline insurance companies, ranging from 4% to 36% in excess of LIBOR for the ARS trusts and from 16% to 49% in excess of LIBOR for the monoline insurers, and management’s estimate of the probabilities of ARS trust default, ranging from 0% to 50%.

 

The second type of ARS has no maturity date and, in the event of default or liquidation of the collateral by the ARS issuer, the Company or ARS trust is entitled to receive non-convertible preferred shares in the ARS issuer; ARS of that type are also known as auction rate preferred securities (“ARPS”). The Company originally paid $12.0 million for the ARS that it held at December 31, 2008. In 2008, an issuer of one of the Company’s

ARPS liquidated the collateral and replaced it with non-cumulative perpetual preferred shares in the ARPS issuer. The Company paid $5.0 million for that ARPS, and the fair value at December 31, 2008 was zero ($0). The Company determined the fair value of that ARPS at December 31, 2008 by using a discounted cash flow model for the preferred dividend payments, weighted by the estimated probability of dividend payments being declared and paid. The model relied upon certain unobservable inputs including management’s estimate of the holding period, which was 40 years, the annual discount rates applied to future cash flows, which management primarily based on the historical credit default swap rates for the ARPS issuers, ranging from 49% to 82% in excess of LIBOR, and management’s estimate of the probability of dividends being declared and paid, which was 0%. No dividend has been declared or paid on that ARPS and the Company does not expect a dividend to be declared or paid in the future. In 2008, an issuer of certain of the Company’s ARPS terminated the ARPS trusts and issued the Company non-cumulative perpetual preferred shares in the ARPS issuer. The Company paid $7.0 million for those ARPS, and the fair value of the preferred shares at December 31, 2008 was $365,000. The Company determined the fair values of those preferred shares at December 31, 2008 by using discounted cash flow models for the preferred dividend payments, weighted by the estimated probabilities of dividend payments being declared and paid. The models relied upon certain unobservable inputs including management’s estimate of the holding periods, which were 40 years, the annual discount rates applied to future cash flows, which management primarily based on the historical credit default swap rates for the ARPS issuer, ranging from 22% to 47% in excess of LIBOR, and management’s estimate of the probabilities of dividends being declared and paid, ranging from 0% to 50%. Dividends have been declared and paid on those preferred shares subsequent to December 31, 2008. For the remaining ARPS, for which the Company paid $7.0 million, there was a single issuer, and the Company determined their fair values of an aggregate $1.8 million at December 31, 2008 by using discounted cash flow models for the ARPS trust payments, weighted by the management’s estimated probability of trust default. The models relied upon certain unobservable inputs including management’s estimate of the holding periods, which were 40 years, the annual discount rate applied to future cash flows, which was primarily based on the historical credit default swap rates for the ARPS issuer, ranging from 11% to 24% in excess of LIBOR, and management’s estimate of the probabilities of trust default, which was 0%.

 

While the Company receives regular interest payments for all but one of the ARS that it holds, the Company does not expect to be able to receive the principal amounts until one or more of the following events occur: future auctions of those ARS are successful, the Company sells those securities in a secondary market which is currently not active, or the issuers redeem those ARS.

Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

 

In the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of its available-for-sale investments in Loss on investments, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) of $24.3 million, which included $776,000 of impairments previously classified as temporary. The Company recorded ARS investment impairments in Loss on investments, net of $2.2 million and zero ($0) in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

The Company reviews the impairments of its available-for-sale investments in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115 and related guidance issued by the FASB and the SEC. The Company classifies the impairment of any individual ARS as either temporary or other-than-temporary. The differentiating factors between temporary and other-than-temporary impairments are primarily the length of the time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

As of December 31, 2007, the Company held warrants to purchase shares in a privately-held company that had a carrying value of $188,000. In the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded a charge of $188,000 related to those warrants in Loss on investments, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), reducing the carrying value of those warrants to zero ($0). The warrants are classified in Other long-term assets, in Level 3, because there are significant unobservable inputs associated with them. The Company considers the warrants to be derivatives, and follows SFAS No. 133 as amended and interpreted, which requires that all derivatives be carried at fair value. The Company accounts for all derivatives by recognizing the changes in their fair values as gains or losses on investments in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

 

The Company uses fair value measurements on a recurring basis in the assessment of its equity investment in a privately-held company classified as Other long-term assets, in Level 3, because there are significant unobservable inputs associated with them. In the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $2.0 million, reducing the carrying value of its investment in that privately-held company to zero ($0). The Company assesses its investment in that privately-held company for impairment in accordance with FSP FAS 115-1/124-1 and the SEC’s SAB Topic 5M. The Company did not record any impairment charges for the investment in a privately-held company in the years ended December 30, 2007 and 2006.

 

In the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not measure the fair value of any of its assets or liabilities other than cash equivalents, available-for-sale investments, warrants and investment in a privately-held company. The Company’s management considers the carrying values of accounts receivable, notes and other receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and assets and liabilities of discontinued operations to approximate fair values primarily due to their short-term nature.

Stock Incentive Plans

 

The Company’s stock incentive plans generally provide employees, officers, directors, independent contractors and consultants of the Company an opportunity to purchase shares of stock pursuant to options which are not described in Section 422 of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (nonqualified

stock options). The plans also provide for the sale or bonus of stock to eligible individuals in connection with the performance of service for the Company. Finally, the plans authorize the grant of stock appreciation rights, either separately or in tandem with stock options, which entitle holders to cash compensation measured by appreciation in the value of the stock. The stock incentive plans are administered by the Compensation Committee, which is composed of non-employee directors. The Company issues new shares upon exercise of options and upon the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

 

1996 Plan:    The Company primarily has one stock plan that was used for grants during 2008, 2007, and 2006. On December 5, 2006, the 1996 Plan was amended to permit grants of RSUs. RSUs granted under the 1996 Plan in 2008 and 2007 typically are scheduled to vest over three years or less with a one-year cliff and ratably thereafter on a semi-annual basis. RSUs granted in 2006 vested over two years with 50% vesting at the end of the first year and 50% vesting at the end of the two-year period. Options granted in 2008, 2007, and 2006 under the Restated 1996 Flexible Stock Incentive Program (the “1996 Plan”) vest over a period of up to four years, with either 100%, 50%, 33 1/3%, or 25% vesting one year from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a semi-annual basis, and expire seven years from the date of grant. Options granted prior to 2006 under the 1996 Plan typically vest over four years, either 25% one year from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a monthly basis or 25% one year from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a semi-annual basis, and expire seven or ten years from the date of grant. Shares underlying options available under the 1996 Plan increase annually on the first day of January by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) five percent of the Company’s outstanding shares at the end of the Company’s preceding fiscal year, or (B) a lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors. The 1996 Plan limits the number of shares of common stock that may be granted to any one individual pursuant to stock options in any fiscal year of the Company to 800,000 shares, plus an additional 800,000 shares in connection with his or her initial employment with the Company, which grant shall not count against the limit. If an option is surrendered or for any other reason ceases to be exercisable in whole or in part, the shares which were subject to the option but on which the option has not been exercised shall continue to be available under the 1996 Plan.

 

2001 Plan:    In February 2001, the Company implemented the 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”), under which nonqualified stock options to purchase common stock or shares of restricted stock may be granted to employees. Under the 2001 Plan, 2.5 million shares of common stock are authorized for grant of options or issuance of restricted stock. Options granted in 2006 under the 2001 Plan expire seven years from the date of the grant and vest over three years, with 33% vesting one year from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a semi-annual basis. Options granted prior to 2006 under the 2001 Plan expire ten years from the date of the grant and vest over two years, with 50% vesting ratably on a monthly basis for the first 24 months and the remaining 50% balance vesting at the end of the two-year period.

 

Plans assumed through acquisition:    In addition to the plans described above, the Company has five option plans assumed through acquisitions. Options granted under these plans typically vest over a four-year period, 25% one year from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a quarterly basis and expire six years from the date of grant.

Tandem Plan:     On April 17, 2000, the Company initiated the Tandem Plan, a tandem plan under which incentive options and nonqualified stock options to purchase common stock may be granted to employees of Saraide, Inc. (“Saraide”), a subsidiary of the Company. Under the Tandem Plan, Saraide employees receiving the grant received an option to purchase Saraide stock or stock of the Company. At the time of exercise, the employee chooses the option to exercise the Saraide option or the InfoSpace option. Upon exercise of one option,

Warrants:     The Company issued warrants in connection with the Company’s 1998 private placement offerings and agreements to provide white pages directory and classified information services. In May 2007, 1,150,761 shares were issued due to the exercise of warrants. Of these shares, 749,720 shares were issued for an aggregate price of $3.8 million, an average exercise price of $5.05 per share and 401,041 shares were issued pursuant to the net exercise provision of 641,678 warrants. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2006, no warrants were exercised and the remaining warrants expired in 2008.

 

Other Plans:

 

1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan:     The Company adopted the ESPP in August 1998. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code and permits eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their compensation. Under the ESPP, no employee may purchase common stock worth more than $25,000 in any calendar year, valued as of the first day of each offering period. In addition, owners of 5% or more of the Company’s or one of its subsidiary’s common stock may not participate in the ESPP. An aggregate of 1,360,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP was implemented with six-month offering periods that begin on each February 1 and August 1. The price of common stock purchased under the ESPP is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value on the first day of an offering period and 85% of the fair market value on the last day of an offering period. The ESPP does not have a fixed expiration date, but may be terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time. There were 54,311, 76,772, and 94,404 shares issued for the ESPP periods that ended in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2008, financing cash generated for the purchase of shares through the ESPP amounted to $437,000. The Company issues new shares upon purchase through the ESPP.

 

Stock Repurchase Plan:     On June 16, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock over the succeeding twelve months. On June 8, 2007 and May 30, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan whereby the Company may purchase up to $100 million of its common stock in open-market transactions during the succeeding twelve month periods. Any repurchased shares will be retired and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Under the repurchase plan, during 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company did not repurchase any shares.

Dividends:

 

On May 2, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash distribution by means of a dividend on the Company’s common stock of $6.30 per share. The special dividend was paid on May 28, 2007 with respect to all shares of common stock outstanding at the close of business on May 18, 2007. On May 18, 2007, there were 33.1 million shares outstanding and, based on those shares, the total amount of the cash distribution was $208.2 million.

 

On November 14, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash distribution by means of a dividend on the Company’s common stock of $9.00 per share. The special dividend was paid on January 8, 2008 with respect to all shares of common stock outstanding at the close of business on December 10, 2007. On December 10, 2007, there were 33.3 million shares outstanding. Based on those shares, the total amount of the cash distribution was $299.3 million.

 

Additionally, on May 2, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to compensate employees and directors that held in-the-money options to purchase shares of common stock and RSUs for the reduction in value of these awards due to any special cash distribution. The compensation was a combination of $18.9 million in cash and issuance of an additional 368,000 RSUs for employees of continuing operations and the amount was based on, among other factors, the average trading price of the Company’s stock before and after the ex-dividend date and the in-the-money amount for options to purchase shares of common stock. The vesting schedules for RSUs granted under this plan are the same as the existing awards for which they are granted.

 

Additionally, on November 14, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to compensate employees and directors that held in-the-money options to purchase shares of common stock and RSUs for the reduction in value of these awards due to any special cash distribution. The compensation was a combination of cash and issuance of additional RSUs and the amount was based on, among other factors, the average trading price of the Company’s stock before and after the ex-dividend date and the in-the-money amount for options to purchase shares of common stock. The vesting schedules for RSUs granted under this plan are the same as the existing awards for which they are granted. The compensation to employees of continuing operations was paid in January 2008, and consisted of $37.4 million in cash payments and 622,000 RSUs.

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense related to stock options and RSUs of $14.3 million, $34.1 million, and $11.3 million, respectively. To estimate the compensation cost that was recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for equity awards granted:

The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term. The Company paid a special dividend in 2007 and declared another dividend that was paid in January 2008, and may pay special dividends in the future, but does not expect to pay recurring dividends. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock for the related expected life of the option. The expected life of the equity award is based on historical experience.

 

As of December 31, 2008, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options and unvested RSUs associated with continuing operations was $10.9 million. The balance at December 31, 2008 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 16 months. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $2.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 17 months. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested RSU grants was $8.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 16 months.

 

The Company has included the following amounts for stock-based compensation cost, including the cost related to the ESPP, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

No financing cash flow was generated by tax benefits from stock-based award activity in 2008 nor was any tax expense recognized related to stock-based compensation. Financing cash flow generated by tax benefits from stock-based award activity in 2007 was $23.7 million and no tax expense was recognized related to stock-based compensation. The total tax expense recognized related to stock-based compensation for 2006 was $139,000 and no Financing cash flow was generated.

and (2) compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair values estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 123(R), respectively. The Company has historically disclosed and currently recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period for each separately vesting portion of a share-based award as if they were, in substance, a multiple share-based award. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has historically estimated and continues to estimate the fair value of share-based awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.

 

The weighted average fair value for options granted in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $3.31, $8.34, and $10.40 per share, respectively. The Company issues new shares upon exercise of options to purchase common stock and vesting of restricted stock units.

 

Total intrinsic value of options exercised to purchase common stock in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $19,000, $5.2 million, and $6.7 million, respectively. Awards outstanding at December 31, 2008 have the following total intrinsic value and weighted average remaining contractual terms:

Options outstanding at December 31, 2008 and expected to vest in the future, based on the Company’s estimate of its pre-vesting forfeiture rate, have an intrinsic value of $12,000 and weighted average remaining contractual term of 3.7 years. RSUs expected to vest after December 31, 2008, based on the Company’s estimate of its pre-vesting forfeiture rate, have an intrinsic value of $7.9 million and weighted average remaining contractual term of 1.0 years. Cash generated from the exercise of stock options amounted to $16,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company has pledged $5.1 million as collateral for standby letters of credit and bank guaranties for certain of its property leases, which is included in Other long-term assets.

 

Contingencies

 

In the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded expense from settlements and estimated liabilities from loss contingencies of $550,000 and $2.7 million, respectively, in Loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Additionally, as of December 31, 2008, it is reasonably possible that additional losses from contingencies may be incurred, although the Company cannot reasonably estimate any additional possible losses.

 

Litigation

 

On December 17, 2008, Anne D. Manos filed a lawsuit against current officers and directors of the company, as well as nominal defendant InfoSpace, in the Superior Court of the State of Washington in and for King County (“Court”). Plaintiff purports to bring the lawsuit derivatively on behalf of the Company, seeking to invalidate and recover payments made to the defendant officers and directors pursuant to a compensation program established by the Company’s board of directors. Specifically, plaintiff alleges that the defendant officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties and duties of loyalty by approving such compensation program, which was designed to offset the diminution in value to InfoSpace employee and board members’ options that occurred as a result of the cash distributions to shareholders. On February 11, 2009, Ms. Manos filed a First Amended Complaint that is substantively identical to her original complaint, adding only James N. Mercer as co-plaintiff. On or before March 6, 2009, InfoSpace anticipates filing a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint based on plaintiffs’ failure to make the requisite pre-filing demand on the Company’s board of directors. The parties have agreed to stay discovery pending resolution by the Court of InfoSpace’s anticipated motion to dismiss. The trial date is currently set for June 7, 2010. The complaint is derivative in nature and does not seek monetary damages from the Company. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business with its officers and directors and may be obligated throughout the pendency of this action to advance payment of legal fees and costs incurred by the defendant current and former officers and directors pursuant to the Company’s obligations under the indemnification agreements and applicable Delaware law.

 

The Company operated its ringtone business under licensing agreements with various music publishers, including Warner/Chappell Music, Inc. Following the Company’s sale of its ringtone business, Warner/Chappell Music and two related entities, WB Music Corp. and Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp., asserted claims against the Company for supposedly improper use of their copyrighted musical compositions. In January 2009, WB Music Corp. and Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. filed a Complaint for Copyright Infringement against the Company and two of the Company’s alleged subsidiaries in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The Complaint, which the plaintiffs have not yet served, seeks unspecified actual and/or statutory damages for the supposed unauthorized use of 26 compositions. The Company is currently investigating the allegations. To date, the Company believes that the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and that it has viable defenses to them. In addition, in April 2008, Warner Chappell Music filed a Complaint for Breach of Contract against the Company and two of the Company’s alleged subsidiaries in which it claims that the Company owes it not less than $750,000 under the parties’ agreements. The Company believes this action likewise lacks merit and that the Company has defenses to the claims asserted. The Company has filed counterclaims against Warner Chappell Music and filed cross-claims against the auditor hired by Warner Chappell Music. The parties have discussed the possibility of mediating their disputes and may do so in the next few months. There is no guarantee that a mediation will be successful in resolving the disputes between the parties. Moreover, because litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company may

not prevail if these matters are fully litigated, and there can be no assurance that there will not be material adverse financial consequences for the Company resulting from these matters.

 

From time to time the Company is subject to various legal proceedings or claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that the disposition of these ordinary course matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Other

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, partners and other parties. The Company has agreed to hold certain parties harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or other claims made against certain parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount for which the Company could be held liable under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability related to such indemnification provisions.

 

The Company periodically enters into agreements that require minimum performance commitments. The Company’s management believes that the likelihood is remote that any such arrangements will have a significant adverse effect on its financial position or liquidity. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability related to these contingencies.

The income tax expense from continuing operations reflects an increase in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2008 of $5.4 million, while the Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect a decrease in the valuation allowance of $2.7 million. The $8.0 million difference between the decrease in the valuation allowance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the increase in the valuation allowance reflected in the income tax provision is primarily attributable to a $6.2 million decrease in the valuation allowance in connection with the reversal of deferred tax assets pertaining to settlement of compensation cost, where the compensation cost was in excess of the tax benefit.

not more likely than not. Many factors are considered when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, the carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, trends in the industry and the current macroeconomic environment, and other relevant factors. At December 31, 2008, the Company reassessed the realizability of its remaining net deferred tax assets and concluded that, based on available evidence, that realizability was not more likely than not. Accordingly, the Company provided a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. In the last quarter of 2007, the Company divested a significant portion of its business operations. At December 31, 2007, the Company reassessed the realizability of its remaining net deferred tax assets and concluded that, based on available evidence, that realizability was not more likely than not. Accordingly, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets and recognized an income tax expense of $16.0 million. At December 31, 2006, the Company concluded, based on available evidence, that it was more likely than not that a portion of the operating assets would be realizable in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company reduced its valuation allowance and recognized an income tax benefit of $28.6 million in 2006. The net changes in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are shown below (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward for income tax purposes was approximately $800 million, all of which relates to tax deductions for stock-based compensation. When the net operating loss carryforwards related to excess stock-based compensation are recognized, the income tax benefit of those losses is accounted for as a credit to stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets rather than the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

 

If not utilized, the Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire between 2020 and 2024. Additionally, changes in ownership, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, may limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards used in any one year.

 

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 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 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption, the Company did not recognize a change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

There were no changes to unrecognized tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized was $634,000 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The remaining $18.2 million, if recognized, would create a deferred tax asset subject to a valuation allowance. If the Company released the valuation allowance, the amount would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

 

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005, although net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards from any year are subject to examination and adjustment for at least three years following the year in which they are fully utilized. As of December 31, 2008, no significant adjustments have been proposed relative to the Company’s tax positions.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense and general and administrative expenses, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had $144,000 and $84,000 of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions, respectively, which is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Note 9:     Restructuring

 

Restructuring charges were $17,000, $9.6 million, and $62.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

 

In 2007, the Company sold its directory and mobile services businesses and, as a result, committed to a plan to make operational changes to its business, which included a reduction in its workforce and, as part of the workforce reduction, consolidation of its facilities. The Company recorded $7.4 million of expense related to that plan in 2007, and $2.2 million of adjustments and additions in 2007 relating to the restructuring plan committed to in 2006, as described below.

 

In 2006, as a result of being informed by one of its carrier partners that it intended to develop direct relationships for mobile ringtone content with the major record labels beginning in 2007, the Company committed to a plan to substantially reduce its mobile content offerings and make operational changes to its business, which included a reduction in its workforce and, as part of the workforce reduction, consolidation of its facilities.

Note 10:    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). In SFAS No. 141(R), the FASB retained the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141 to account for all business combinations using the acquisition method and for an acquiring entity to be identified in all business combinations. However, the revised standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to immediately expense costs related to the acquisition. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when effective will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions completed after the effective date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

 

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157 to determine what effect its adoption on January 1, 2009 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities will have on its financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

 

On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. FSP No. 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP No. 157-3 became effective immediately, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Therefore, the Company adopted the provisions of FSP No. 157-3 in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of the Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

InfoSpace, Inc.

Bellevue, Washington

 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of InfoSpace, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 of the Company and our report dated March 2, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

The indemnification obligations hereunder shall exist only if the indemnified party: (i) promptly notifies the indemnifying party of such claim, (ii) provides the indemnifying party with reasonable information, assistance and cooperation in defending the lawsuit or proceeding (which information, assistance and cooperation shall be provided at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, and (iii) gives the indemnifying party full control and sole authority over the defense and settlement of such claim. The indemnified party may join in defense with counsel of its choice at its own expense. After the indemnifying party assumes responsibility for an indemnified claim hereunder, the indemnifying party shall only indemnify the indemnified party for expenses incurred by the indemnified party upon the indemnifying party’s request or with the indemnifying party’s prior written approval. Failure to give timely notice will not preclude indemnification except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the indemnifying party.

 

6. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR [*], (A) NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING PRODUCTS LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY AND NEGLIGENCE), AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY WAS OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OR ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY STATED HEREIN and (B) (i) IN NO EVENT SHALL GOOGLE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT (WHEN AGGREGATED WITH GOOGLE’S LIABILITY FOR ALL OTHER CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT) EXCEED THE NET AMOUNT GOOGLE HAS ACTUALLY RECEIVED AND RETAINED (AFTER ACCOUNTING FOR ALL DEDUCTIONS, PAYMENTS TO CUSTOMER AND OTHER OFFSETS PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE AGREEMENT) [*], and (ii) IN NO EVENT SHALL CUSTOMER’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT (WHEN AGGREGATED WITH CUSTOMER’S LIABILITY FOR ALL OTHER CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT) EXCEED THE NET AMOUNT CUSTOMER HAS RECEIVED FROM GOOGLE [*]. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS SECTION 6 TO THE CONTRARY, WITH RESPECT TO GOOGLE’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS [*]. The parties agree that (i) the mutual agreements made in this section reflect a reasonable allocation or risk, and (ii) that each party would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations on liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, none of the foregoing limitations set forth in this Section shall apply to Customer’s liability arising out of a breach of this Agreement by a Syndicated Site.

 

7. Confidentiality. Use and disclosure of proprietary information disclosed under this Agreement, including the existence and content of this Agreement and any reports provided hereunder, shall be governed by the terms of the Google Standard Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”), the date of which is provided in the Order Form, which has been provided to Customer and executed prior to or concurrently with this Agreement, and which is incorporated herein by reference. Defined terms used in this Section 7 shall have the meanings given in the NDA. In addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the NDA, the following additional terms shall apply:

7.2 Metrics Provided by Google. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer agrees and acknowledges that any metric provided by Google to Customer relating to the Services (including without limitation any information obtained through the Google Admin Console): [*]. Customer also agrees and acknowledges that, except as provided below, under no circumstances shall any Google Confidential Information be disclosed to any third party without Google’s prior written approval, including without limitation, to [*]. Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall prohibit Customer from providing each [*] with the following information relevant to [*] (but not for [*]): [*]. For purposes of illustration only, Customer shall be permitted to disclose [*].

 

7.3 Performance Information. Google acknowledges and agrees that [*] (together the “Performance Information”), whether or not marked as such, shall be Confidential Information and shall be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement and shall [*]. For purposes of clarification, Google is prohibited from disclosing any or all of the Performance Information to a third party.

8.2 Suspension and Termination.

8.2.1 Mutual Rights. Either party may suspend performance and/or terminate this Agreement: (a) if the other party materially breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach [*] after receiving written notice thereof; (b) if the other party becomes insolvent or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar transfer evidencing insolvency, or suffers or permits the commencement of any form of insolvency or receivership

For purposes of clarification, the breaches that trigger the termination rights set forth in the preceding sentence are those material breaches by Customer other than those triggered by actions or inactions of a third party, including [*]. In addition, if Customer has breached the Agreement as a result of [*], Google may immediately terminate all of Customer’s rights to provide access to the Services to [*]. Google may also suspend and/or terminate this Agreement if Google reasonably determines that [*].

8.2.3 Customer Rights. Customer may suspend use of the Services, suspend the display of WebSearch Results and/or Advertising Results on the Site or terminate this Agreement [*] upon [*] notice if Google [*] breaches [*] set forth under this Agreement. Further, Customer may, upon written notice to Google, [*]. If, following a period of suspension of not less than [*], Customer reasonably determines [*], Customer may, upon [*] notice to Google, permanently terminate use of the Services in such geographic region only.

 

8.3 Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason (i) all license rights granted herein shall terminate; (ii) Customer shall [*] pay to Google all amounts due as of the date of such termination and Google shall [*] pay to Customer all amounts due as of the date of such termination; (iii) each party shall return to the other party, or destroy and certify the destruction of, all Confidential Information of the other party; and (iv) Customer will promptly remove from the Site(s): the AdWords Link, the Attribution Graphic and all Google Brand Features and (v) all Syndicated Sites’ and Customer Client Applications’ access and use of the Services shall terminate.

 

9. Tax and Audit.

 

9.1 Taxes and Other Charges. All payments under the Agreement are exclusive of taxes imposed by any governmental entity. Customer shall pay any applicable taxes, including sales, use, personal property, value-added, excise, customs fees, import duties or stamp duties or other taxes and duties imposed by governmental entities of whatever kind and imposed with respect to the transactions for services provided under the Agreement, including penalties and interest, but specifically excluding taxes based upon Google’s net income. When Google has the legal obligation to collect any applicable taxes, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer [*] from the date of invoice or other notification. Customer shall promptly provide Google with such documentation as may be required by the applicable governmental entity in order for Google to process payments hereunder (including, without limitation, a valid certificate of Customer’s exemption from obligation to pay taxes as authorized by the appropriate governmental entity), and Google may withhold any payments required to be made hereunder until Customer has provided such documentation. Customer shall promptly provide Google with original or certified copies of all tax payments or other sufficient evidence of tax payments at the time such payments are made by Customer pursuant to the Agreement.

 

9.2 Audit Right. In the event that Customer believes a discrepancy exists in the fees due under this Agreement, Customer will notify Google in writing and Google and Customer shall work together in good faith to resolve such discrepancy, if any. If Customer is not satisfied with such informal resolution, Customer, at its own expense, may retain a mutually acceptable nationally recognized independent auditor to review and audit Google’s relevant records to confirm the fees due under this Agreement upon [*] notice. Such audit shall: (a) be subject to Google’s reasonable security and confidentiality requirements; (b) occur no more than [*] every calendar year and not during [*]; and (c) transpire during Google’s normal business hours. If the audit results in an adjustment greater than or equal to [*] of the fees due for the audited period (but excluding situations where Google has overpaid Customer), then Google shall pay for the reasonable costs associated with such audit.

 

10. Miscellaneous.

 

10.1 Notices. All notices shall be in writing sent to the addresses identified on the Order Form or to such other address provided in writing for such notice purposes. Notice shall be deemed given (i) upon receipt when delivered personally, (ii) upon written verification of receipt from overnight courier, or (iii) upon verification of receipt of registered or certified mail.
10.2 Assignment. [*] may assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder without [*] prior written consent, except to the surviving entity in a merger or consolidation or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets, provided that such surviving entity or purchaser shall expressly agree in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and provided further that such entity or purchaser is not a restricted entity as set forth on Exhibit C hereto, as such Exhibit C may be updated by Google from time to time but no more frequently than once per quarter (each listed entity a “Restricted Entity”). In the event of a Change of Control Transaction involving Customer or InfoSpace in which this Agreement is not assigned to the third party involved in such Change of Control Transaction (such third party a “Combining Entity”), irrespective of the structure of such Change of Control Transaction, Google shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.2.1(c) if the Combining Entity is either of [*] (including any affiliates thereof and/or any successors or assigns). Further, in the event that Customer or InfoSpace enters into a Change of Control Transaction with a Combining Entity that is a Restricted Entity other than [*], such Combining Entity may in no way avail itself of any of the Services or benefits provided to Customer by Google pursuant to this Agreement, without Google’s prior written approval. For the avoidance of doubt, following a Change of Control Transaction with a Restricted Entity (other than [*], irrespective of the structure of such Change in Control Transaction, Google shall continue to provide Services pursuant to this Agreement only to the Site and those Syndicated Sites and Non-Hosted Syndicated Sites receiving

the Services immediately prior to such Change in Control Transaction. Google agrees that it shall not update Exhibit C to include any entity with which Customer has previously publicly announced its intention to enter into a Change of Control Transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control Transaction” shall be defined as (a) the public announcement of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a party or (b) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13(d)(3) promulgated under such Act) of more than [*] of either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of such party; or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such party entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

 

10.3 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to benefit, nor shall it be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party.

 

10.4 Equitable Relief. Either party may seek equitable relief, including temporary restraining order(s) or injunction, in addition to all other remedies, for breach or threatened breach of Section 2 (Ownership; License Grant) or Section 7 (Confidentiality).

 

10.5 Consultation. Before either party initiates legal action against the other arising from this Agreement (other than to seek injunctive or other equitable relief), the matter in controversy will first be referred to an officer of each party, who shall make reasonable efforts to resolve the matter [*] of the date of referral.

 

10.6 Governing Law. The laws of [*], excluding [*] choice of law rules, and applicable federal U.S. laws shall govern this Agreement. The parties specifically exclude from application to this Agreement the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act.

 

10.7 Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors. Neither party shall be deemed to be an employee, agent, partner or legal representative of the other nor shall either have any right or authority to create any obligation on behalf of the other.

 

10.8 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for failing or delaying performance of its obligations (except for the payment of money) resulting from any condition beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to governmental action or acts of terrorism, earthquake or other acts of God, labor conditions, and power failures. [*].

 

10.9 Compliance with Laws. Each party shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, if any, required in performing its obligations hereunder.

 

10.10  No Waiver. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect a party’s right to require performance at any time thereafter; nor shall waiver of a breach of any provision constitute a waiver of the provision itself.

 

10.11  Severability. If any provision is held by a court to be contrary to law, such provision shall be interpreted so as to best accomplish its objectives and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

 

10.12  Survival. In the event of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Sections 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.1, 10, the NDA and all terms and conditions of any Order Form(s) shall survive termination. Neither party shall be liable to the other for damages resulting solely from terminating this Agreement as provided herein.

 

10.13  Entire Agreement. This GSA and related Order Form(s), and any exhibits thereto, constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and any related purchase order(s) shall be null and void.

 

10.14  Counterparts, Drafting, Amendments. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. To expedite the process of entering into this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that executed copies of the Agreement that are reproduced or transmitted via facsimile will be equivalent to original documents until such time as original, executed documents are completely executed and delivered. This Agreement supersedes any other prior or collateral agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Exhibit B

Form of Client Application Guidelines

Policy Guidelines for Access of Google Services Through Client Applications

Effective Date: October 1, 2005

Google has observed a significant increase in the number of reports of software that is engaging in deceptive, malicious and other annoying practices that significantly diminish user perception and enjoyment of the internet. These practices include but are not limited to installing software on computers without obtaining informed end user consent (the so-called “drive-by download”), inundating end users with advertisements without adequate attribution or labeling, exposing users to pornographic material without obtaining informed end user consent, obtaining or transmitting personal information about an end user without obtaining informed end user consent, and interfering with an end user’s ability to easily uninstall applications the end user does not wish to be on his or her computer.

Google does not wish to be associated with these types of practices. Accordingly, Google has developed the Guidelines set forth below to prevent its trademark, other intellectual property, and services from being used in connection with these practices. Google believes that these Guidelines are necessary to protect Google from any allegation that it has contributed to practices that might be viewed as unlawful or actionable; to preserve the reputation of Google as a provider of trusted software and services in a manner that is beneficial and fair to users and other constituents; and to stem the rising incidence of practices that harm users and diminish the perceived value and reliability of the internet, which are essential to Google’s business.

With this objective in mind, Google has established the following Guidelines to apply to customer Applications that are used to access our search and/or advertising syndication services. Except to the extent Google has otherwise specifically agreed in writing, Google does not grant permission to, and you will not, access Google services using one or more of your Applications unless you ensure that those Applications comply with these Guidelines. Examples of accessing Google services in this context include Applications that send end user queries or other information to Google to generate search or ad results, or Applications that alter browser or other application settings to permit error traffic to be sent to Google to generate search or ad results.

For the avoidance of doubt, by these Guidelines Google does not intend to, and does not, impose any restrictions on what you may do with any Application that is not used to access, or is not bundled with any Application that is used to access, Google services; you remain free to sell any Application you wish (whether or not it complies with these Guidelines) so long as it is not used to access Google services.

In these Guidelines: (a) “you” and “your” refer to the legal entity(ies) that has entered into the contract with Google into which these Guidelines are incorporated, as well as any person or entity acting on your behalf; and (b) “Application” means any application, plug-in, helper, component or other executable code that runs on a user’s computer, examples of which include those that provide browser helper objects, instant messaging, chat, email, data, file viewing, media playing, file sharing, games, internet navigation, search and other services.

Google welcomes input about these Guidelines from you and from other interested parties, and is always willing to consider revisions as appropriate to encourage innovation while protecting against deceptive, unfair and harmful practices. Accordingly, Google may update these Guidelines, including the Exhibits, from time to time as provided in Section 10 below.

If you have any questions about these Guidelines, please do not hesitate to discuss them with your Google account manager.

 

1. General.

1.1. Approval and Ongoing Compliance. [*]. In such instance, you must ensure that your Application both (1) has been approved by Google for the purpose of accessing Google services in writing in advance, and (2) complies at all times with the requirements outlined herein. To obtain Google’s approval for any Applications not expressly approved in your agreement, you must submit a written request.

1.2. Implementation. The incorporation of Google services into your Application must conform to the implementation requirements set forth in your agreement with Google. For example, in the case of Applications that access Google’s WebSearch and/or AdSense for Search Services, end user queries initiated from your Application must resolve to a Google-approved Web page on a permitted Web site as provided in your agreement with Google (refer to your agreement for a complete description of the scope of approved Web pages and sites). In any event, unless your agreement with Google expressly authorizes otherwise, Google results may only appear on the Web pages expressly approved by Google for such display, and, except for the display of those pages in the main content area of a Web browser, Google results may not appear anywhere in your Applications (e.g., Google results may not appear in the “chrome” of your Application unless your agreement expressly contemplates otherwise).

1.3. No Google Branding or Attribution. Your Application, and any related collateral material (including any Web pages promoting your Application or from which your Application is made available), must not contain any Google branding, trademarks or attribution unless (and then only to the extent) Google expressly consents otherwise in writing. In addition, queries entered into Applications may not resolve to a results page that contains any Google branding, trademarks or attribution unless (and then only to the extent) Google expressly consents otherwise in writing.

 

2. Prohibited Content. You may not access Google services from an Application that: (a) contains any viruses, worms, trojan horses, or the like; and (b) is distributed primarily for the purpose of (i) distributing pornographic, obscene, excessively profane, gambling-

10

Google Confidential


Amended and Restated Google Inc. Services Agreement

related, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal content, or (ii) distributing content related to “hacking” or “cracking.”

 

3. Prohibited Behavior. You may not access Google services from an Application that engages in deceptive, unfair, harassing or otherwise annoying practices. For example, the Application may not:

 

  (a) use, or permit an unaffiliated person to use, an end user’s computer system for any purpose not understood and affirmatively consented to by the end user (including, without limitation, for purposes of consuming bandwidth or computer resources, sending email messages, launching denial of service attacks, accruing toll charges through a dialer or obtaining personal information from an end user’s computer such as login, password, account or other information personal to the end user);

 

  (b) intentionally create or exploit any security vulnerabilities in end user computers;

 

  (c) trigger pop-ups, pop-unders, exit windows, or similar obstructive or intrusive functionality, that materially interfere with an end user’s Web navigation or browsing or the use of his or her computer;

 

  (d) repeatedly ask an end user to take, or try to deceive an end user into taking, an action that the end user has previously declined to take (such as repeatedly asking an end user to change his or her home page or some other setting or configuration);

 

  (e) redirect browser traffic away from valid DNS entries (except that your Application may direct unresolved URLs to an alternative URL designated by you, provided that the page to which the end user resolves adequately informs the end user that you and your Application are the source of that page);

 

  (f) interfere with the browser default search functionality (except that your Application may permit an end user to change his or her default search engine with proper disclosure, consent and attribution as provided below); or

 

  (g) engage in activity that violates any applicable law or regulation.

 

4. Disclosure and Consent.

4.1. Disclosure and Consent before Installation. You may not access Google services from Any Application unless you and your distribution and bundling partners design the installation of your Application in a manner that ensures that it is installed by end users in a knowing and willful manner – e.g., no “drive-by” downloads or installs. By “distribution partner” we mean any third party who distributes your Application and by “bundling partner” we mean any third party who installs your Application in combination with or alongside one or more other Applications. At a minimum, compliance with this provision requires that, prior to installing your Application, you and any third party distributing or bundling your Application:

 

  (a) first, fully, accurately, clearly and conspicuously disclose to end users:

 

  (i) that they are installing an application,

 

  (ii) the name of the Application, identifying you as the entity responsible for it, and

 

  (iii) the principal and significant features and functionality of the Application; and

 

  (b) then, obtain the end user’s affirmative consent to install the Application.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the disclosure and consent requirements of this Section 4.1 will not apply to those of your Applications that are installed on computers prior to sale.

4.2. Disclosure and Consent for Collection and Transmission of Personally Identifiable Information. You may not access Google services from any Application that (1) collects or transmits to any entity other than the end user personally identifiable information, or (2) collects or transmits information related to a user’s computer or Internet usage or activity in a manner that could collect or transmit such user’s personally identifiable information (such as through keystroke logging), unless prior to the first occurrence of any such collection or transmission you:

 

  (a) first, fully, accurately, clearly and conspicuously disclose:

 

  (i) the type of information collected (described with specificity in the case of personally identifiable information),

 

  (ii) the method of collection (e.g., by registration, etc.), and

 

  (iii) the location of (i.e., a link to) the privacy policy that governs the collection, use and disclosure of the information; and

 

  (b) then, obtain the end user’s affirmative consent to such collection and/or transmission.

4.3. Disclosure and Consent for Setting Changes. You may not access Google services from any Application that makes a change to any operating system or Application data setting which will impact the user experience of other Applications (e.g., changing the browser default home page or changing the default application for a file type, such as the default email, browser or media player application), unless prior to making such change you:

 

  (a) first, fully, accurately, clearly and conspicuously disclose the change in a manner that will explain the practical effect of such change; and

 

  (b) then, obtain the end user’s affirmative consent to make such change.

11

Google Confidential


Amended and Restated Google Inc. Services Agreement

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no disclosure and consent need be made for changes to operating system or Application data settings that have only a minor impact on user experience, such as adding a small number of bookmarks to the browser menu or adding an item to a start menu, and (ii) the disclosure and consent requirements of this Section 4.3 will not apply to those setting changes that may be made prior to sale to the end user.

4.4. Method of Disclosure and Consent. In order to satisfy the requirements above, the disclosure of the items specified above (a) must be provided in both (1) the End User License Agreement (EULA) or privacy policy (to the extent required by law or otherwise by industry custom) and (2) separately from the EULA and/or privacy policy (e.g., in installation screens or message boxes, as the case may be), and (b) must be designed so that it will be read by, adequately inform and evidence the consent of a typical Internet user. See Exhibit A for sample disclosure and consent implementations that would satisfy certain of the requirements above.

4.5. EULA and Privacy Policy. You may not access Google services from any Application unless it conforms, and is distributed pursuant to a EULA that conforms, with all applicable laws and regulations. In addition, you and your Application must comply with the agreements and representations you make with your end users in your EULA and privacy policy. Your privacy policy must be accessible from your Application in an easily found location. If your Application collects or transmits any other information related to the user’s use of his or her computer, but not required to be disclosed and consented to pursuant to Section 4.2, then the collection and use of such other information must be disclosed in your privacy policy.

 

5. Transparency. Neither you nor any of your third party distribution or bundling partners may mislead end users or create end user confusion with regard to the source or owner of an Application or any portion of its purpose, functionality or features. For example, all elements of your Application that are visible to the end user must clearly identify their source through its branding and attribution, and that identification, whatever form it takes, must correspond to the identification of your application in the menu that permits end users to remove programs. You must clearly label advertisements provided by your Application (if any) as such and clearly identify your Application as the source of those advertisements. In addition, if your Application modifies the operation or display of other applications or Web sites (other than Web sites that you own), then in each instance you must clearly and conspicuously attribute the source of that modification to your Application (as distinct from the application or Web site modified) in a manner that will inform a typical Internet user; provided that this requirement will not apply to modifications for which you obtain disclosure and consent pursuant to Section 4.3. See Exhibit A for examples of modifications that are clearly and conspicuously disclosed to end users.

 

6. Deactivation. You may not access Google services from any Application that impairs an end user’s ability to change any preferences or settings set by the Application in accordance with the way that such preferences or settings ordinarily may be changed by the applicable Application. Once disabled by an end user, your Application may not be re-enabled without an affirmative action by the end user to explicitly re-enable your application. Accordingly, no use, update, installation or re-enablement of a separate Application, and no code downloaded as a result of browsing a Web site, may operate to re-enable your Application. Your Application must permit end users to uninstall it (in the customary place the applicable operating system has designated for adding or removing programs, e.g., Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows) in a straightforward manner, without undue effort or skill. In addition, your Application, when running, must provide (in an easily found location) clear and concise instructions on how it may be uninstalled. Once uninstalled, your Application must not leave behind any functionality or design elements, and all setting changes made by the application, but not explicitly agreed to by the end user, should be reversed to the extent practicable.

 

7. Bundling of Applications.

7.1. Bundling. Your Application may be distributed through bundling arrangements (referring to the distribution of your Application in a “bundle” that installs your Application with one or more other Applications). However, in such case, you may not access Google services from any such Application unless each of the following requirements is satisfied:

 

  (a) the end user is made aware of all of the Applications included in the bundle prior to any installation;

 

  (b) all such Applications included in the bundle or download comply with the provisions of Section 2 through 6 of these Application Guidelines;

 

  (c) if Applications in a bundle in which you are participating are supported in part by revenue generated by advertising displayed in another independent Application included in that bundle and the continued use of the Application is conditioned on such other independent Application remaining installed and active on the end user’s computer, the end user must be made aware of that relationship; and

 

  (d) either (1) the bundle must provide for a master uninstaller that will enable the end user to uninstall every Application in the bundle without undue effort or skill, or (2) if no master uninstaller is provided, the de-installation of any Application may not be dependent or conditioned upon the de-installation of any other Application included in the bundle.

7.3. No Google Branding. [*]

7.4. General. When entering into any bundling arrangements, it is your responsibility to ensure that your direct and indirect distribution or bundling partners (and any applications included in any bundle with your Application to the extent required herein) comply with the applicable requirements of these Guidelines.

 

8. Information and Assistance. Subject to any confidentiality obligations owed to third parties, you must provide Google with such information as Google may reasonably request about the distribution of those of your Applications that are used to access Google services. For example, we may ask you to share with us: (a) the means by and/or the locations from which your Applications are distributed; or (b) the identity of any applications included in any of your bundling relationships (and the entities responsible for such applications). In addition, you must provide such assistance as Google may reasonably request to investigate and stop potential violations of these Guidelines that may be connected to your Application, including by way of using such number of identifiers and other tracking parameters as Google may reasonably request. This would include providing Google with “golden masters” of any bundle or other distribution that includes your Application, or working with Google to stop any entities that may be financially benefiting from your Application from engaging in any of these proscribed practices. You understand, however, that Google has no obligation to provide support to end users of your Application. For the avoidance of doubt, these information and assistance rights do not extend to any of your Applications that are not used to access Google services.

 

9. Legal. You must maintain ownership and control of your Application at all times to the extent required to practically and legally enforce the requirements of these guidelines. If you are seeking to permit a third party Application to incorporate or access our services, then you must also obtain Google’s written approval of that third party Application (in addition to the approval required for your Application). If Google approves the third party Application, you are responsible for ensuring that such third party Application also complies with these Guidelines. You agree to be responsible and liable for your Application’s access of Google’s results. Special indemnity and other suspension and/or termination provisions may apply. These are addressed in your agreement with Google.

 

10. Updates.

10.1. General. As mentioned above, Google may update these Guidelines, including the Exhibits, from time to time; provided, however, that no updates will be effective until Google provides you with [*] written notice thereof. Once you receive that notice, you will be required to bring your Application into compliance within [*].

10.2. Extended Compliance Period. If, solely as a result of an updated requirement, one or more of your Applications no longer complies with these Guidelines, as updated, and you are incapable of bringing such Application into compliance prior to the scheduled effective date of such update (the “Update Effective Date”), you agree to provide Google with written notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than the Update Effective Date, identifying the Application and the reasons why it may not be brought into compliance prior to the Update Effective Date, and providing such other detail as Google may reasonably request with respect thereto (consistent in any event with your confidentiality obligations). Thereafter, the parties will consult, and you agree to will work, diligently and in good faith to develop and execute a plan to bring such Application into compliance with these Guidelines, as updated, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within [*] of the Update Notice Date (the “Maximum Compliance Period”). You agree that you will provide Google with such information as Google reasonably requests during this period to keep Google apprised of your progress in bringing your Application into compliance. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to the next sentence), in no event may a new requirement provided for in the update to these Guidelines require you to take any action which would violate the terms of any agreement between you and any unaffiliated third party that is in effect on the date that Google delivers notice of the proposed update. In any event, if you are unable to bring any Application into compliance during the Maximum Compliance Period, Google may elect, by providing at least [*] prior written notice, to cease providing services to either the specific non-conforming Application or to those versions of the Application which are, or are distributed, in violation of the Guidelines, as updated; it being understood that, at such time, you will be entitled to procure services from an alternative source for those Applications (or versions thereof) to which Google elects to cease providing services as provided herein.

The GSA, Order Form and Amendment One are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement”.

WHEREAS, Customer and Google are parties to the Agreement, pursuant to which Google provides Customer with certain Services (as defined in the Agreement); and

1. Definitions. For purposes of this Amendment Two, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings set forth in the Agreement.

2. Amendments to the GSA. Pursuant to Section 1.5 of the GSA, Google hereby approves each URL set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (each a “[*] URL”) as a “Non Hosted Syndicated Site” and further approves the distribution of AFS Services to such [*] URL(s). As of the Amendment Two Effective Date, each [*] URL shall be a Non Hosted Syndicated Site and shall be subject to all terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

ATTACHMENT B – TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The parties agree to the following:

The agreement of the parties consists of the Service Order and all Attachments (“Agreement”).

1. License. During the Term and subject to Publisher’s compliance with this Agreement, Overture grants to Publisher a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable (except as provided in Section 25), non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except as explicitly provided for under this Agreement to Affiliates approved in accordance with the Syndication Attachment), royalty-free worldwide right and license to [*] the Links on and in the Publisher’s Offerings, send queries from Publisher’s Offerings to Overture and to [*] the Results provided by Overture on and through Publisher’s Offerings, solely for purposes contemplated in this Agreement. The above license includes the limited right to use and reproduce the software code and/or URLs that allow Publisher to create Links, send Queries from Publisher’s Offerings to Overture and receive, transmit and display Results.

2. Services. Overture will [*] respond to Queries by delivering Results or a response that no Results are being delivered. [*] Publisher further acknowledges and agrees that, except as provided in this Agreement, Publisher will not be entitled to, nor seek, [*]. By way of example, and without limitation, under the New Platform, Advertisers will have the ability to [*]. Overture reserves the right (a) [*], (b) [*]. Overture shall not [*].

3. Publisher’s Offerings. This Agreement applies to the Publisher’s Offerings as defined in Section 31 below.

4. Future Offerings. Publisher will [*] notify Overture of any additional websites or software applications owned by Publisher for use or distribution to end-users that include (or that Publisher anticipates will include) search functionality or paid listings. The parties may amend the SO to include such additional offerings. [*]

5. Compensation.

(a) [*]

(b) [*]

6. Payment. For each month during the Term, Overture or Overture Related Parties will pay Publisher in accordance with the SO within [*] days after the end of the calendar month in which the relevant Results appeared on Publisher’s Offerings (“Payment Period”). All payments (a) with respect to the U.S. and Canada will be made in US dollars, (b) with respect to the United Kingdom will be made in British pounds, and (c) with respect to all other countries in the Territory will be made in Euros. If Overture or an Overture Related Party’s Advertisers pay Overture or such Overture Related Party in any other currency, Overture will calculate payment using the average exchange rate as published by a nationally recognized source (e.g., Oanda). If the Territory includes countries other than the United States, Publisher acknowledges that payment will only be made after Publisher fulfills Overture’s invoicing requirements. Overture may offset payments by any amounts Publisher owes to Overture, including previous overpayments and any Multimedia Fees earned by Overture during the Payment Period. In the event that Overture refunds amounts to Advertisers in excess of its payment to Publisher and there are no future payments to Publisher to offset against, Publisher will pay Overture for such amounts within [*] days of Overture’s request. Overture may make payments only when Publisher’s balance exceeds US $250.00 (or until termination or expiration of this Agreement). Except as specifically set forth in this Section, Overture will retain all revenues derived from or in connection with its services.

8. Audits. [*] each year during the Term and for [*] after the Term, at the expense of the auditing party, Publisher and Overture may review the other party’s records to confirm compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, if the auditing party has a reasonable belief that the other party is not complying with the terms of this Agreement, then the auditing party shall be entitled to conduct a second audit during such one-year period [*]. All audits under this section must be during normal business hours, must not unduly interfere with the party being audited and must be performed through a reputable, independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the other party (the “audited party”).

Such audit shall occur during business hours upon at least [*] notice and shall be conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, if applicable, and the reviewer may disclose only whether or not the audited party is in compliance, and the degree and amount of any non-compliance, and may not disclose other information (including to the auditing party) without written consent of the audited party.

The parties intend the foregoing to provide the maximum protection for each party’s respective trade secrets. Overture acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the exclusions set forth in the definition of Confidential Information in Section 31 below, any information Publisher provides to Overture hereunder for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining Overture’s approval of an Affiliate or Syndication Site or Application, including without limitation the identity of any potential third-party affiliate or information regarding such third-party, its websites and applications, is Publisher’s Confidential Information subject to the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of this Agreement and is provided to Overture in strict confidence for the sole and limited purpose of obtaining and maintaining Overture’s approval hereunder, and may not be used by Overture for any other purpose, including any sales or marketing efforts.
