PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

        This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider in making your investment decision. You should read this summary together with the more detailed information, including our financial statements and the related notes, elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully review and consider, among other things, the matters discussed in "Risk Factors" before making an investment decision.

Our Business

        We are an online real estate company that offers innovative services to home buyers and sellers. We share with each buyer 75% of the commission we receive from the seller or listing broker. This gives buyers a large financial incentive to use our services, while we earn significant net revenue per transaction. Our primary target is the 64% of all home buyers who find homes themselves. We also offer home buyers online tools to manage their purchase transactions from search to close. Currently, we generate revenue from our buy-side services and expect to expand into other fee-generating areas, including agent referral, mortgage brokerage, title and online advertising.

        Our client acquisition strategy is unique. To capture consumers early in the transaction process, we provide sellers with free MLS listing services and the ability to post homes on our website for no charge. These services drive traffic to our fee-generating operations. Since the launch of our integrated services in March 2007, users have published more than 9,300 properties on our website with a total list price of over $3.3 billion, and used our free MLS listing service for more than 4,000 properties with a total list price of over $1.4 billion.

        Buy-side real estate services

        We currently offer online buyer's agent services in six states, representing approximately 26% of the U.S. existing home market. Our model leverages the efficiencies of the Internet and our proprietary software to provide cost-effective services to self-directed buyers. Buyers can search our database of over 600,000 MLS listings, schedule home visits, make offers and monitor each step of the offer/counteroffer process, all online. When we represent buyers, we share with them 75% of our buyer broker commission, which we receive from the seller or listing broker. We believe that this is an industry-leading financial incentive.

        To date, our average closed buy-side transaction exceeded $550,000, from which we earned an average gross commission of over $15,000. From this, on average, we paid buyers over $11,000 per transaction and earned net revenue per transaction exceeding $3,500. During the period from our launch of our buy-side operations in April 2006 to October 3, 2007, we closed 215 buy-side transactions. Since our inception, we have derived all of our real estate brokerage revenues from our buy-side operations, and these revenues represented 65% of our total revenues through June 30, 2007.

        Sell-side real estate services

        We believe that we are the only company providing free MLS listings to home sellers, thereby giving them access to a critical market channel without having to pay a significant listing fee. MLS listings typically appear on major websites, including Realtor.com, exposing the home to the majority of buyers who search for homes on the Internet. We currently provide our free MLS listing service in 20 states, representing about 64% of the U.S. existing home market. We also enable sellers and their agents in all 50 states to list and self-publish exceptionally rich content about sellers' homes on our website without charge. We do not specifically derive any revenue from offering our customers these sell-side services. However, we recognize that home sellers are often home buyers, and we cross-market our revenue-generating services to them.

1



Our Market Opportunity

        According to the National Association of Realtors, or NAR, 6.5 million existing homes were sold in the U.S. in 2006. According to REAL Trends, a company that provides news, research and consulting services to real estate industry participants, the total residential real estate brokerage commissions for the U.S. were approximately $59.7 billion in 2006.

        The Internet is reshaping the way real estate brokerage is conducted by empowering buyers to independently search for homes. Use of the Internet by home buyers has grown dramatically in recent years. According to NAR, the percentage of buyers using the Internet to search for homes increased from 41% in 2001 to 80% in 2006. Similarly, the Internet now enables home sellers to readily access information that previously was available only to traditional real estate agents, including home valuations, comparable home prices and other market research. According to the California Association of Realtors, the percentage of California sellers using the Internet in the home sale process has increased from 9% in 2002 to 62% in 2006.

        We believe that many consumers are dissatisfied with traditional real estate agents. Buyers are doing more of the work, yet traditional agents typically still earn a full commission and do not share any of it with the home buyer. According to NAR, 64% of all home buyers find their homes themselves, including on the Internet.

Our Solution

        We believe that we are uniquely positioned with differentiated services for both home buyers and sellers.

        Offer a compelling consumer value proposition.    Our use of the Internet and proprietary technologies allows us to offer a significant financial incentive to our buyers and reduced commissions to our sellers.

        Use the Internet to empower consumers.    Through our websites, we empower buyers to search MLS listings, compare homes and gather information on neighborhoods. We also enable them to schedule home visits, make offers and obtain loan pre-approvals. We empower sellers with free MLS listings and self-publishing tools.

        Deliver high-quality service to self-directed consumers.    We build our business around the self-directed consumer, not the agent. Our online service offerings give consumers the ability to direct transactions at the pace and in the manner they desire. We compensate our buy-side agents based upon how well they serve our customers, not the size of the transactions or whether the transactions close.

        Provide a full suite of real estate related services to our customers.    We expect to provide "one-stop" shopping for the real estate consumer. We intend to expand our suite of services to include agent referral services, in which we refer consumers to real estate agents, mortgage brokerage services, flat-fee real estate brokerage services and title services.

Our Growth Strategy

        Our objective is to become the leader in comprehensive online brokerage services for buyers and sellers of U.S. residential real estate. To achieve this objective, we are pursuing the following strategy:

        Expand our services nationwide through scalable model.    Our scalable business model facilitates the expansion of our geographic footprint. Following this offering, we believe that we can rapidly expand the volume and geographic reach of our operations because much of our business is conducted through our websites.

2



        Rollout additional services.    We began beta testing our mortgage brokerage services in California in May 2007. We expect to provide mortgage brokerage services in at least 21 states by the end of 2008. We expect that, by the end of 2007, we will launch our real estate agent referral service in at least 35 states. Also, by the end of 2007, we plan to launch our flat-fee brokerage service in the same states as are then covered by our buy-side services.

        Invest in our technology platform.    We believe our technology platform and the Internet will provide us with the opportunity to develop additional services for consumers looking to buy or sell a home. We plan to incorporate new technologies as they become available to help us provide enhanced functionality and increase overall ease-of-use of our websites.

        Pursue strategic relationships.    We expect that our large geographic footprint, with our ability to rapidly expand throughout the U.S., will be attractive to potential strategic partners. We intend to aggressively pursue partnerships with home builders, home supply stores, real estate web portals and other related businesses.

        Focus on branding.    Following this offering, we intend to build our brands with an advertising campaign that uses a mix of media, including the Internet, television, print, radio, direct-mail and outdoor signage. We will also conduct a publicity campaign with the objective of generating more news coverage about our services. In addition, we believe we can enhance our brand through word-of-mouth by continuing to provide a high level of service.

Risks Related to Our Business

        Since our inception in 2005, we have a limited operating history and a history of losses from our start-up operations. As of June 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $9.4 million. We face a number of challenges and risks in our business, which are described in further detail in "Risk Factors" beginning on page 7 of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

        Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should read and carefully consider the following factors, as well as other information contained in this prospectus, before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. The occurrence of any of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In that case, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. In assessing the risks described below, you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making an investment decision.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We have a limited operating history and our business model is unproven and evolving.

        We first began offering real estate brokerage services to home buyers in April 2006 and to home sellers in March 2007. We first began offering mortgage brokerage services in May 2007. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and our future prospects.

        Our business model is relatively new and unproven. It differs significantly from that of a traditional real estate brokerage firm in several ways, including our substantial payments to buyers, free MLS listings for sellers, our salaried agents, and our heavy reliance on the Internet and technology. During the period from our launch in April 2006 to October 3, 2007, we closed 215 buy-side transactions. The success of our business model depends on our ability to efficiently acquire a significant number of customers. Our ability to efficiently acquire significant numbers of customers depends, in part, on how attractive our value proposition is to potential customers, the effectiveness with which our free sell-side listing services attract customers to our revenue-generating services and our ability to leverage the efficiencies of the Internet and other technology to boost our agents' productivity. We may not be able to acquire an adequate number of customers with sufficient efficiency to operate profitably, and our business model may prove to be unsuccessful.

        Further, our business model is still evolving. For example, we expect to expand our services in the near future to include flat-fee real estate brokerage services and agent referral services. The evolving nature of our business makes it difficult to assess our future prospects.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which means that we may not be able to continue operations unless we obtain additional funding.

        In the audit report on our financial statements for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, our auditors included a going-concern qualification indicating that our recurring operating losses and working capital deficit cause substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. By issuing an opinion stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, our auditors have indicated that they are uncertain as to whether we have the capability to continue our operations without additional funding.

        Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon our ability to consummate this initial public offering or otherwise obtain debt or equity financing to meet our cash requirements. No assurance can be given that such debt or equity financing will be available. Concern about our ability to continue as a going concern may place additional constraints on operations and make it more difficult for us to meet our obligations or adversely affect the terms of possible funding.

Our failure to raise additional capital or generate the cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in our service offerings could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.

        We may need to raise additional funds, and we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our stockholders may

7



experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of our common stock could decline. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:

    develop and enhance our services;

    develop our brand and acquire new customers;

    continue to expand our technology development, sales and marketing organizations;

    acquire complementary technologies, products or businesses;

    expand operations into other state and local markets;

    hire, train and retain employees; or

    respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.

        Our inability to do any of the foregoing could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.

We are an early stage company and have a history of operating losses.

        We have only recently begun to implement our integrated business strategy and service offerings. We have had losses for each quarterly and annual period since our inception in April 2005. We experienced gross losses in each period since our inception, resulting in net losses of $1,166,731 for the period from April 11, 2005 (our inception) to December 31, 2005, $5,135,668 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $3,145,735 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $9,448,134. We have experienced operating losses since inception as a result of the significant technology development, licensing, sales and marketing and administrative expenses we have incurred in developing our business. We may continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or sustain profitability.

We may be unable to generate sufficient net revenue in the future to achieve or sustain profitability.

        We expect to make significant future expenditures related to the continued development and expansion of our business. Furthermore, as a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. As a result of these factors, to achieve profitability we will need to, among other matters, increase our customer base and the number of our revenue-generating transactions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our revenue in this manner or otherwise and achieve and maintain profitability. As we expect to continue to invest in the development of our business, this investment could outpace growth in our revenue, and thereby impair our ability to achieve and maintain profitability.

We have encountered and will encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by developing companies in highly competitive industries. If we do not address these risks successfully, our business will be harmed.

        We are a developing company with a limited operating history and relatively new business model. We have encountered, and will continue to encounter, risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early-stage companies in competitive industries. Some of these risks relate to our ability to effectively: develop our brand and attract new customers; develop, upgrade and expand our suite of service offerings; respond quickly and effectively to competitive pressures; manage our expanding operations; diversify our sources of revenue; and identify, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We may not be able to successfully address these risks.

The success of our business will depend on our ability to effectively market our services.

        The growth and success of our business will depend, in large part, upon the number and quality of customers we are able to generate for our buy-side brokerage and other revenue-generating services. To attract new customers, we plan to invest substantial time and resources into marketing activities, including online and traditional advertising and sponsoring or attending industry events. We have engaged in a limited amount of such activities to date and do not know if they will effectively acquire customers.

Expanding our services into new areas may be difficult and expensive, and if we are unable to expand our service area as planned, our business and prospects will be adversely affected.

        Currently, we offer our buy-side real estate brokerage services in only six states and our mortgage brokerage services in only one state. To achieve our expected sales growth, we need to offer these services in other locations. We may not be able to expand our service areas as quickly as we plan because of legal regulations, an inability to attract qualified employees or local consumer preferences. A number of states, including New Jersey and New York, prohibit the sharing of commissions with customers who are not licensed real estate agents, or may require us to modify the way in which we structure payments to customers. These restrictions on sharing commissions may make it more difficult for us to expand into these states.

        We currently offer our sell-side services in 20 states. To the extent that jurisdictions have adopted, or may in the future adopt, laws that may increase the cost of providing listings in these jurisdictions, including "minimum service" laws that require brokers to provide certain services in some circumstances, our ability to expand into, or generate significant revenue from operations in, these jurisdictions may be limited. Our failure to expand our service area would adversely affect our business and prospects.

If we are unable to develop new services, our revenue will not grow as expected.

        Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue will depend in large part on our ability to introduce new services and enhance our existing services to meet changing customer demands. The success of any new service depends on several factors, including the timely introduction, quality performance and market need for and acceptance of the service. Any new service we provide may not be introduced in a timely manner, performed to customers' satisfaction, meet a market need or achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. In addition, there will be significant expenses associated with introducing any new services. Even if a new service generates revenue, we may not be able to offer service on a profitable basis. We may not be able to successfully develop new services and enhance our existing services.

Our business and future prospects depend on the willingness of consumers to use online services in connection with residential real estate purchase and sale transactions.

        We rely substantially on our websites and web-based marketing for our client acquisition. As the residential real estate business has traditionally been characterized by personal, face-to-face relationships between buyers and sellers and their agents, our success will depend on the willingness of consumers to increase their use of online services in the real estate sales and purchasing process. Popular use of the Internet to search for residential real estate does not necessarily mean that people will use the Internet for the types of services we provide. In addition, our success depends on potential customers visiting our websites early in the transaction process so that we can interface with them before they have engaged another real estate agent. If we are unable to attract visitors to our websites at the proper time to transact business with us, we will have fewer opportunities to represent customers.

Our industry is highly competitive and our business could be adversely affected by our inability to compete effectively.

        We have numerous competitors, many of which have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, larger client bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Our competitors' capabilities in these areas could allow them to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, make more attractive offers to potential customers and employees and respond more quickly to changes in consumer behavior or technology than we can. Additionally, the National Association of Realtors, or NAR, and other residential real estate trade organizations have in the past, and may in the future, sponsor promotional and advertising efforts on behalf of, or in conjunction with, traditional brokerage firms that compete directly with us.

        Furthermore, the barriers to entry are low in the real estate and mortgage brokerage industries. New competitors may emerge, or existing competitors may modify their business model to more directly compete with us. We may not be able to compete successfully for customers, and increased competition could result in price reductions and reduced margins, as well as adversely affect our efforts to increase our market share.

Declining real estate commissions may harm our business.

        We believe that the average percentage commission charged in the real estate brokerage industry has declined in recent years. Because we pay a portion of our commission to our buyer customers, our business is dependent on the size of the commission percentage a listing broker or seller offers us when we represent a home buyer. A decline in the average commission we receive would decrease the average payment that we make to home buyers, thereby making our services less attractive. It would also reduce the net commissions we retain after paying our customers, thus reducing our revenues. Indeed, in some transactions, listing brokers (including discount listing brokers) offer commissions to buyer brokers that are only nominal or are otherwise so low that it would be impracticable for us, as a buyer broker, to handle the transaction. Moreover, due to the cost to us of providing our services, to date, we have not provided buy-side services for home purchases of less than $200,000.

        In addition, we expect to offer real estate agent referral services in the future. In many cases, we expect to charge real estate brokers to whom we make referrals a percentage of the commissions they earn on the transaction. If real estate brokers' commissions decline, then our referral fees could be lower than we currently expect.

If we are unable to access the information currently available from MLS feeds, our services may be less attractive to potential customers and our business could suffer.

        On our website, customers can search MLS listings in many markets free of charge. We obtain our data for listings on our website through MLS feeds. If our access to the information currently available on MLS feeds is reduced for any reason, then the percentage of available listings that our customers could search would be reduced, which would make our search feature less attractive to potential customers and cause our business to suffer. Although our access to MLS feeds has not been restricted in any market to date, we cannot be certain that it will not be in the future.

        Because participation in an MLS is voluntary, a group of brokers may decline to post their listings on an existing MLS and instead create a new proprietary real estate listing service. If a group of brokers created a separate real estate listing database, we may be unable to obtain access to that private listing service on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Moreover, MLSs, which are often affiliated with local realtor associations, may adopt rules that reduce our access to MLS feeds. As a result, the percentage of available real estate listings that our customers would be able to search on our website could be reduced. Although we are not aware of any market where a group of brokers has declined to post their listings on an MLS, however denominated, and instead created a private listing service to which we do not have access, we cannot be certain that this will not occur in the future.

Resistance from the real estate brokerage industry may influence the attractiveness of our services to potential customers and impair our ability to grow.

        Traditional real estate brokerage firms may in the future take actions (or cause industry associations or MLSs to adopt rules or policies) to try to protect themselves against competition from us. We have experienced resistance from some traditional agents and brokers who have refused to cooperate with us or to pay to us part or all of our commission. We have also encountered instances in which listing agents have refused to show a home to our buyers, buyers' agents have not informed their buyers about homes listed by our free listing service, and agents have made derogatory statements about us to our customers. In some cases, the listing agent has a misunderstanding about our business model or applicable laws or MLS rules. For example, an agent may mistakenly believe that we cannot pay a rebate in a state where it is legal to do so, or a listing agent may mistakenly believe that our buy-side agents will not provide any services in connection with the transaction. In some cases, we attempt to clarify our services and resolve the misunderstanding. Sometimes, we contact the seller and explain that the listing agent is not cooperating. In other cases, the buyer contacts the seller on their own or simply decides to look at other homes. Resistance from other real estate agents may influence the attractiveness of our services to potential customers and impair our ability to grow.

If we fail to recruit and retain qualified agents, we may be unable to service our customers and our growth could be impaired.

        Our business requires us to hire employees who are licensed real estate agents in the states in which we operate, and our strategy is dependent upon our ability to rapidly grow our team of agents. In certain states with relatively small numbers of licensed real estate agents, we may experience difficulties in recruiting and retaining high quality licensed agents because, among other things, agents may be unfamiliar with our non-traditional model, which relies heavily on computers and technology. Some agents may also be uncomfortable with working in a centralized office setting, as opposed to working as an independent contractor with freedom to set their own hours. In addition, our salary model may be unattractive to some higher performing agents, who may be able to earn more from traditional commissions. If we are unable to recruit and retain a sufficient number of licensed real estate agents in the states in which we operate, we may be unable to service our customers properly and grow our business. Similarly, many states require that mortgage loan officers be licensed or registered. Our ability to expand our mortgage operations will depend in part on our ability to hire and retain licensed or registered loan officers.

Our operating results may be subject to seasonality and may vary significantly among quarters during each calendar year, which may impact our future growth.

        The residential real estate market traditionally has experienced seasonality, with a peak in the spring and summer seasons and a decrease in activity during the fall and winter seasons. We expect revenues in each quarter to be significantly affected by activity during the prior quarter, given the time lag between contract execution and closing. This seasonality may cause our operating results to be poorer in the first and fourth quarters and better in the second and third quarters of each year.

Our revenue and operating results could be affected by general economic conditions or by changes in residential real estate markets.

        The success of our business depends in part on the residential real estate market, which traditionally has been subject to cyclical and other economic swings and unpredictable trends. The purchase of residential real estate is a significant transaction for most consumers, and one which can be delayed or terminated based on the availability of discretionary income. Economic slowdown or recession, adverse tax policies, lower availability of credit, increased unemployment, lower consumer confidence, lower wage and salary levels, war or terrorist attacks, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could adversely affect the demand for residential real estate. Also, if interest

11



rates increase significantly, homeowners' ability to purchase new or higher priced homes may be reduced because higher monthly mortgage payments would make housing less affordable. It has been widely reported that existing home sales in the U.S. market have softened, in part due to an increase in interest rates and the adoption by lenders of more restrictive mortgage underwriting criteria. For example, there have been recent declines in average existing home sale prices. In the event of adverse changes affecting residential real estate markets, our transaction volume and commission revenues could fail to grow as anticipated, or even decline. Because we currently operate our buy-side services in only six states, we could experience a more pronounced negative impact from adverse market conditions than we would experience if our operations were more geographically diversified.

Consumer access to mortgage financing has been affordable and widely available by historic standards and any tightening in the availability of credit will have the potential to negatively impact our operating results.

        The affordability and availability of mortgage financing is influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates, lender underwriting criteria, loan product availability and the performance of mortgage backed securities in the secondary market. It has widely been reported that, since the fall of 2005, the residential real estate market has been softening as interest rates have been increasing. In addition, public reports indicate that lender underwriting criteria have become more restrictive since 2006 and may become even more restrictive in the future. When interest rates rise and underwriting criteria become more restrictive, housing becomes less affordable because, at a given income level, people cannot qualify to borrow as much principal, and some cannot qualify at all, or, given a fixed principal amount, they must make higher monthly payments. Less affordable housing results in fewer real estate transactions or reduced home prices, both of which could negatively impact our operating results.

Existing laws may impede our ability to expand some of our services into certain states.

        A key part of our value proposition to potential customers is a cash payment to home buyers. A number of states, including states with large housing markets such as New Jersey and New York, prohibit the sharing of commissions with customers who are not licensed real estate agents or require us to modify the way in which we structure payments to customers. These restrictions on sharing arrangements may make it more difficult for us to expand into these states. If we are unable to enter into these markets, or cannot successfully attract customers in these markets, our business could be harmed.

        In addition, a number of states, including states with large housing markets such as Florida and Illinois, have adopted minimum service laws that require brokers to provide specified services in certain circumstances. These laws could increase the cost of our operations or create a disincentive to expand our operations into a particular jurisdiction.

If we fail to comply with real estate brokerage laws and regulations, we may incur significant financial penalties or lose our licenses to operate.

        The real estate industry is subject to extensive regulation. Due to the geographic scope of our operations and the nature of the brokerage services we perform, we are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations. For example, we are required to maintain real estate brokerage licenses in each state in which we operate and to designate individual licensed brokers of record. If we fail to maintain our licenses, lose the services of our designated broker of record or conduct brokerage activities without a license, we may be required to pay fines or return commissions received, our licenses may be suspended or revoked, or we may be subject to other civil and criminal penalties. As we expand into new markets, we will need to obtain and maintain the required brokerage licenses and comply with the applicable laws and regulations of these markets, which may be different from those to which we are accustomed, and will increase our compliance costs. Likewise, most states require a license to operate as a mortgage broker and require loan officer licenses or registrations. Our failure to

12



comply with applicable laws and regulations, the possible loss of licenses or the initiation of legal proceedings by government agencies or affected customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, and may limit our ability to expand into new markets.

Changes in federal and state real estate laws and regulations, and rules of industry organizations such as NAR could adversely affect our business.

        Governmental entities, industry participants or regulatory organizations could enact legislation, regulatory or other policies related to the residential real estate brokerage industry in the future, which could restrict our activities or significantly increase our compliance costs. Moreover, the provision of real estate services over the Internet is a new and evolving business, and legislators, regulators and industry participants may advocate additional legislative or regulatory initiatives governing the conduct of our business. If existing laws or regulations are amended or new laws or regulations are adopted, we may need to comply with additional legal requirements and incur significant compliance costs, or we could be precluded from certain activities. Because we operate through our websites, state and local governments other than where property we are trying to sell is located may attempt to regulate our activities, which could significantly increase our compliance costs and limit certain of our activities. In addition, industry organizations, such as NAR and other state and local organizations, can impose standards or other rules affecting the manner in which we conduct our business, and have engaged, and can be expected to continue to engage, in significant lobbying efforts to change laws in ways that could adversely affect our operations. If we feel required to engage in significant lobbying or related activities to respond to initiatives that may harm our business, our operating costs could increase.

We may be subject to claims from our customers in connection with our real estate brokerage activities.

        In the ordinary course of business, our customers may sue us or our employees for alleged negligence or violations of contractual or statutory duties. In addition, we may be required, or elect, to indemnify our employees who become subject to such litigation. Any adverse outcome in any such litigation could negatively impact our reputation and harm our business.

We collect personally identifiable information from prospective customers, which could result in additional costs or claims.

        We rely on the collection and use of personally identifiable information from customers to conduct our business. We disclose our information collection and dissemination practices in a published privacy statement on our websites, which we may modify from time to time. We may be subject to legal claims, government action and damage to our reputation if we act or are perceived to be acting inconsistently with the terms of our privacy statement, customer expectations or the law. In addition, concern among potential home buyers or sellers about our privacy practices could keep them from using our services or require us to incur significant expense to alter our business practices or educate them about how we use personally identifiable information.

Our reputation and financial condition may be harmed by system failures and computer viruses.

        The performance and reliability of our technology is critical to our reputation and ability to attract and retain customers. Our server infrastructure is maintained by a third-party hosting service provider. Damage to the provider's facility, or an outage or other failure at that facility, could result in a loss of service. Also, any system error or failure, or a sudden and significant increase in traffic, may significantly delay response times or even cause our system to fail, resulting in the unavailability of our Internet platform. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to interruption or malfunction due to certain events beyond our control, including natural disasters, such as earthquakes, fire and flood, power loss, telecommunication failures, break-ins, sabotage, computer viruses, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events. We may not be able to expand our server infrastructure, either on our own or through use of third party hosting systems or service providers, on a timely basis sufficient to

13



meet demand. Any interruption, delay or system failure could result in financial losses, customer claims or litigation, and damage our reputation.

Our intellectual property rights are valuable and our failure to protect those rights could adversely affect our business.

        Our intellectual property rights, including existing and future trademarks, trade secrets and copyrights, are and will continue to be valuable and important assets of our business. We believe that our proprietary technology, as well as our other technologies and business practices, are competitive advantages and that any duplication by competitors would harm our business. We have taken measures to protect our intellectual property, but these measures may not be sufficient or effective. For example, we seek to avoid disclosure of our intellectual property by requiring employees and consultants with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements. Intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions may not prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property or deter others from developing similar technologies. In addition, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology. Our failure to protect, or any significant impairment to the value of, our intellectual property rights could harm our business.

We may in the future be subject to intellectual property rights disputes, which could reduce our ability to compete effectively and harm our business and results of operations.

        Other companies may own, develop or acquire intellectual property rights that could prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to provide our products and services. One or more of these companies, which could include our competitors, could make claims against us alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and could significantly divert management resources and attention from our business.

        If we were unable to successfully defend against claims against us alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, we may be required to pay monetary damages, stop using the technology, pay a license fee to use the technology, or develop alternative non-infringing technology. If we have to obtain a license for the infringing technology, it may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. Developing alternative non-infringing technology could require significant effort and expense. If we cannot license or develop alternative technology for the infringing aspects of our business, we may be forced to limit our product and service offerings. Any of these results could reduce our ability to compete effectively and harm our business and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors' views of us.

        Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. We will be required to document, review and improve our internal controls and procedures for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management and independent registered public accounting firm assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls. Both we and our independent registered public accounting firm will be first testing our internal controls for compliance with Section 404 in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008. We will need to retain additional finance and accounting personnel with the skill sets that we will need as a public reporting company.

        Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may distract our officers and employees, entail substantial costs and take significant time to complete. These changes may not, however, be effective in achieving and maintaining adequate internal controls, and any failure to

14



achieve or maintain that adequacy, could result in our being unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis. In addition, investors' perceptions that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis or any actual failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our stock price and make it more difficult for us to effectively market and sell our services to new and existing customers.

The loss of one or more key members of our senior management, on whom we heavily rely, or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could harm our business.

        Our success and future growth depends to a significant degree on the skills and continued services of our management team, especially Joseph Fox, Avi Fox and Joseph Barr, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and President, respectively. We have not purchased "key man" life insurance policies on these executives. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, sales, marketing and service and support personnel, including, additional members of our management team. Competition for sales, marketing and technology development personnel is particularly intense in the software and technology industries. As a result, we may be unable to successfully attract or retain qualified personnel.

Acquisitions we may undertake may be unsuccessful and may divert our management's attention and consume significant resources.

        We may selectively acquire other businesses, product lines or technologies. The successful execution of an acquisition strategy will depend on our ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate suitable acquisitions and, if necessary, to obtain satisfactory debt or equity financing. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following: difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, and products of the acquired companies; diversion of management's attention from normal daily operations of the business; inability to maintain the key business relationships and the reputations of acquired businesses; entry into markets in which we have limited or no prior experience and in which competitors have stronger market positions; dependence on unfamiliar affiliates and partners; insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions; reduction or replacement of the sales of existing services by sales of products or services from acquired lines of business; responsibility for the liabilities of acquired businesses; inability to maintain our internal standards, controls, procedures and policies; and potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies.

        In addition, if we finance or otherwise complete acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders may be diluted. Mergers and acquisitions are inherently risky, and we cannot assure you that our acquisitions will be successful. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquired businesses could harm our business.

Risks Related to This Offering

Our common stock has no prior public market, and our stock price may decline after this offering.

        Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after this offering. The initial public offering price for our common stock will be determined by negotiations between the representatives of the underwriters and us. The initial public offering price may not correspond to the price at which our common stock will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering, and the price of our common stock in the public market may not reflect our actual financial performance.

        The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations after this offering. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

    the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in this prospectus;

15


    the prospects of the industry in which we operate;

    variations in our operating results;

    changes in the legal or regulatory environment affecting our business;

    changes in our earnings estimates or expectations as to our future financial performance, as well as financial estimates by securities analysts and investors, and our ability to meet or exceed those estimates or expectations;

    the contents of published reports about us or our industry or the failure of securities analysts to cover our common stock after this offering;

    changes in market valuations of similar companies;

    strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as sales promotions, acquisitions or restructurings;

    additions or departures of key management personnel;

    actions by institutional and other stockholders;

    speculation or reports by the press or investment community with respect to us or our industry in general; and

    general economic, market and political conditions.

        The stock markets in general have recently experienced volatility that has sometimes been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been brought against that company. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation of this type may be expensive to defend and may divert our management's attention and resources from the operation of our business.

Our current principal stockholders will continue to have significant influence over us after this offering, and they could delay, deter or prevent a change of control or other business combination or otherwise cause us to take action with which you may disagree.

        Upon the closing of this offering, AFJ Investments, LLC and AFJ Capital LLC, which are entities owned and controlled by Joseph Fox and Avi Fox, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, respectively, will each beneficially own approximately 26.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, Joseph Fox and Avi Fox, through their ownership of AFJ Investments, LLC and AFJ Capital, LLC, will have significant influence over our decision to enter into any corporate transaction and may have the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of stockholders regardless of whether or not other stockholders believe that the transaction is in their own best interests. This concentration of voting power could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.

Following this offering, a substantial number of our shares of common stock will become available for sale in the public market, which may cause the market price of our stock to decline.

        Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Upon completion of this offering, we will have 8,334,503 outstanding shares of common stock based on shares outstanding as of October 3, 2007, assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option and no exercise of outstanding

16



options after October 3, 2007. Of these shares, the 3,000,000 shares sold through the underwriters in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction, assuming they are not held by our affiliates.

        We expect that the lock-up agreements pertaining to this offering will expire 180 days from the date of this prospectus (subject to extension upon the occurrence of specified events) or, in the case of our executive officers, 360 days from the date of this prospectus. After the lock-up agreements expire, up to an additional 5,229,503 shares of common stock will be eligible for sale in the public market, 3,793,533 of which shares are held by our directors, executive officers and other affiliates. In addition, shares of our common stock that are subject to outstanding options or warrants or reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans will become eligible for sale in the public market. If these additional shares of common stock are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Our management has broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

        As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty the amounts we will spend on particular uses from the net proceeds we will receive from this offering. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could adversely affect our ability to continue to maintain and expand our business.

Anti-takeover provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that you may consider favorable or prevent the removal of our current board of directors and management.

        Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could delay, defer or prevent a third party from acquiring us, despite the possible benefit to our stockholders, or otherwise adversely affect the price of our common stock and your rights as a holder of our common stock. For example, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will (1) permit our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock with rights and preferences designated by our board, (2) stagger the terms of our board of directors into three classes and (3) impose advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations of directors to be considered at stockholders' meetings. These provisions may discourage potential takeover attempts, discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over market price or adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of, our common stock. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors other than the candidates nominated by our board. We will also be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any "interested" stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an "interested" stockholder and which may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This prospectus includes forward-looking statements that reflect our expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospectus and opportunities. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have tried to identify forward-looking statements by using words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "project," "should," "will," "will be," "would" and similar expressions. Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those described above under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Before you invest in our common stock, you should read this prospectus completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

        Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. Except as expressly required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not have any intention, and do not undertake, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this prospectus, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this prospectus or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by us, or on our behalf. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of shares by us in this offering will be approximately $14,215,000, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $5.50 per share, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We estimate that, if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, we will receive net proceeds of approximately $16,467,250.

        Our principal reasons for conducting this offering at this time are to raise capital to expand our operations into existing and new markets, to further develop our brand through increased advertising and marketing programs, and to invest further resources into developing our technology infrastructure and systems. Although we have not allocated specific amounts from the net proceeds of this offering to these particular uses, we anticipate using the net proceeds of this offering to satisfy our existing current liabilities (approximately $1.8 million at June 30, 2007) and satisfy our operating lease commitments (approximately $0.3 million in the next 12 months). In addition, although we are currently not committed to do so, we expect to spend approximately $3.0 to $3.5 million in the next 12 months to further develop our brand through new advertising and marketing programs, and approximately $2.0 to $2.5 million to develop our technology infrastructure. We are also conducting this offering to create a public market for our common stock, to facilitate our access to the public equity markets and to obtain additional capital.

        In addition, we have two working capital lines of credit with Cole Taylor Bank, N.A., one for $800,000 and the other for $100,000. These lines are personally guaranteed by Avi Fox and Joseph Barr, respectively. Avi Fox is our Chairman and Joseph Barr is our President and Chief Financial Officer. Both lines of credit earn interest at the bank's prime rate, payable monthly, which rate was 7.75% as of October 3, 2007, and expire on July 14, 2008. As of October 3, 2007, there was $700,000 principal amount outstanding on these lines of credit. The amounts outstanding under these lines of credit may fluctuate. If there is any outstanding indebtedness under these lines of credit at the closing of this offering, we intend to repay these amounts with proceeds of this offering.

        In July 2007, we issued and sold a $1.0 million convertible bridge note and warrants to one investor. We expect to exchange that convertible bridge note and warrants for a $1.0 million nonconvertible bridge note prior to the consummation of this offering. We expect that interest under the nonconvertible bridge note will accrue at a rate of 15% per annum computed on the actual number of days outstanding, compounded annually. All outstanding principal and accrued interest under the nonconvertible bridge note will be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (a) July 30, 2009, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or the closing of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, stock sale or other transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which stockholders of our company prior to such acquisition own less than 50% of the surviving or resulting entity. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to satisfy all principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the nonconvertible bridge note upon the closing of this offering.

        If the opportunity arises, we may use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering designated for expansion of operations to acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies that are complementary to our own. We are not currently a party to any agreements or commitments and we have no current understandings with respect to any acquisitions.

        We cannot specify with certainty the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon completion of this offering and, at the date hereof, cannot accurately predict the amounts that we may spend for any particular purpose. The amounts of our actual expenditures will be influenced by several factors, including the timing and extent of our expansion opportunities, the amount of cash used by our operations and the occurrence of unforeseen opportunities and events. Our management team will have broad discretion in determining the uses of the net proceeds of this offering. Pending the use of the net proceeds, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

19



DIVIDEND POLICY

        We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our capital stock. We plan to retain future earnings to support our operations and to finance the development and growth of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.

20



CAPITALIZATION

        The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of June 30, 2007:

    on an actual basis;

    on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into an aggregate of 535,000 shares of common stock, and the sale and issuance of 163,817 shares of our common stock in July 2007, as if each had occurred on June 30, 2007; and

    on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect the pro forma adjustments described above and the receipt by us of the net proceeds from the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $5.50 per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses.

21



DILUTION

        If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma as adjusted negative net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.

        Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2007 was approximately $315,412, or $0.06 per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding, after giving effect to the conversion of all of our outstanding preferred stock into an aggregate of 535,000 shares of our common stock, and the sale and issuance of 163,817 shares of our common stock in July 2007, as if each had occurred on June 30, 2007. After giving effect to the issuance and sale by us of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $5.50 per share, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2007 would have been approximately $14,530,412, or $1.79 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.73 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $3.71 per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

Assumed initial public offering price per share             $ 5.50
  Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2007       $ 0.06      
  Increase per share attributable to new investors       $ 1.73      
       
     
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering             $ 1.79
             
Dilution per share to new investors             $ 3.71
             

        If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, there will be an increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value to $1.95 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $3.55 per share to new investors in this offering.

        The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2007, on a pro forma as adjusted basis, the differences between: (1) the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid, in each case by existing stockholders, and (2) the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid, in each case by investors purchasing shares in this offering, based on the assumed initial public offering price of $5.50 per share and before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses:

 
  Shares Purchased
  Total Consideration
   
 
  Average Price
Per Share

 
  Number
  Percent
  Amount
  Percent
Existing stockholders   5,134,503   63.1 % $ 9,230,792   35.87 % $ 1.80
New investors   3,000,000   36.9 % $ 16,500,000   64.13 % $ 5.50
Total   8,134,503   100 % $ 25,730,792   100 %    

22


        The table and calculations above are based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of October 3, 2007, and exclude:

    an aggregate of 99,423 shares issuable upon the exercise of then outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $5.43 per share;

    an aggregate of 536,015 shares issuable upon the exercise of then outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $5.49 per share;

    an aggregate of 11,327 shares then available for future issuance under our equity incentive plans;

    warrants to purchase 10% of the number of shares of common stock sold in the offering, to be issued to the underwriters with an exercise price equal to 110% of the initial public offering price; and

    an aggregate of 200,000 restricted shares of common stock issued on October 3, 2007 to two of our executive officers pursuant to our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.

        To the extent these options or warrants are exercised, and to the extent we issue new options or rights under any stock compensation plans or issue additional shares of common stock in the future, new investors may experience further dilution.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed in, or anticipated by, these forward-looking statements due to various factors discussed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Overview

        General

        We are an online real estate company that offers innovative services to home buyers and sellers. We share with each buyer 75% of the commission we receive from the seller or listing broker. This gives buyers a large financial incentive to use our services, while we earn significant net revenue per transaction. Our primary target is the 64% of all home buyers who find homes themselves. We also offer home buyers online tools to manage their purchase transactions from search to close. Currently, we generate revenue from our buy-side services and expect to expand into other fee-generating areas, including agent referral, mortgage brokerage, title and online advertising.

        Our client acquisition strategy is unique. To capture consumers early in the transaction process, we provide sellers with free MLS listing services and the ability to post homes on our site for no charge. These services drive traffic to our fee-generating operations. Since the launch of our integrated services in March 2007, users have published more than 9,300 properties on our website with a total list price of over $3.3 billion, and used our free MLS listing service for more than 4,000 properties with a total list price of over $1.4 billion.

        We currently offer online buyer's agent services in six states, representing approximately 26% of the U.S. existing home market. When we represent buyers, we share with them 75% of our buyer broker commission, which we receive from the seller or listing broker. To date, our average closed buy-side transaction exceeded $550,000, from which we earned an average gross commission of over $15,000. From this, on average, we paid buyers over $11,000 per transaction and earned net revenue per transaction exceeding $3,500. The amount of the commission that we receive on a transaction depends on the price of the home and percentage commission offered to the buyer's broker by the seller or listing broker. As of October 3, 2007, we had received, on average, a buyer's broker commission equal to 2.63% of the home sale price on a total of 215 closed transactions since our launch. Generally speaking, when choosing a percentage commission to offer to buyer brokers, a seller or listing broker may consider factors such as the general state of the local housing market, how long the home has been on the market and how much the seller or listing broker values the services of buyer's brokers.

        Our revenues are comprised primarily of commissions earned as agents for buyers in residential real estate transactions. We record revenues net of any commissions paid or offered to our customers. These brokerage commissions earned on buy-side transactions represented 65% of our total revenues from inception through June 30, 2007. We were in the development stage from our incorporation on April 11, 2005 until the launch of our buy-side service operations in California, Florida and Illinois on April 5, 2006. We began to recognize real estate commission revenues in April 2006. We expanded our operations into Georgia in June 2006, Virginia in July 2006 and Washington in June 2007. For the period from our inception through June 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $9,448,134. Our net revenues are principally driven by the number of transactions we close and the average net revenue per transaction. Average net revenue per transaction is a function of the home purchase price and

26



percentage commission we receive on each transaction. There is typically a lag of approximately 60 to 90 days between the time an individual learns about our services and the time we recognize real estate commission revenue from a real estate purchase transaction completed by that individual.

        We also received revenues from a marketing arrangement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (Chase), which was in effect from March 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007. Under this agreement, we promoted Chase on the mortgage center pages of our website. Under the terms of that agreement, we received a flat monthly marketing fee from Chase that was renegotiated in October 2006. Through the termination date of that agreement, $306,398 of marketing fee revenue, representing 34% of our total revenues since inception, was recognized related to this agreement with Chase. We terminated this agreement in March 2007 in order to begin operating our own mortgage brokerage services in California in May 2007 through our www.BuySideMortgage.com website. No revenues were recognized under this Chase agreement in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. We expect to begin earning commission revenues as a residential mortgage broker late in the third quarter of 2007 and plan to expand our buy-side real estate operations into one additional state by the end of 2007.

Recent Financing

        From July 1, 2007 through July 30, 2007, we raised a total of $1,145,753 through the sale of shares of our common stock.

        In July 2007, we raised an additional $1,000,000 through the sale of a convertible bridge note and warrants. Pursuant to its terms, all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the convertible bridge note will be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (a) July 30, 2009, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or the closing of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, stock sale or other transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which stockholders of our company prior to such acquisition own less than 50% of the surviving or resulting entity. Prior to the consummation of this offering, we will exchange the convertible bridge note and warrants for a $1.0 million principal amount nonconvertible bridge note. We expect that interest under the nonconvertible bridge note will accrue at a rate of 15% per annum, compounded annually. We further anticipate that all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the nonconvertible bridge note will be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (a) July 30, 2009, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or the closing of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, stock sale or other transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which stockholders of our company prior to such acquisition own less than 50% of the surviving or resulting entity. The nonconvertible bridge note will be unsecured and rank senior to all of our other unsecured indebtedness. We intend to pay the full amount of principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the nonconvertible bridge note with a portion of the proceeds of this offering.

        The shares of Series A convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock upon the closing of this offering.

    Trends in our business

        Our business has experienced consistent growth since our launch of buy-side operations, primarily as a result of increased transaction volume and increased average home purchase prices. We generated $69,030 in total revenues from our buy-side operations, with eight closed transactions, in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 (our first quarter of buy-side operations), $124,975, with 25 closed transactions, in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, $215,969, with 32 closed transactions, in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and $224,631, with 29 closed transactions in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, and $250,766, with 65 closed transactions, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Our average net revenue per transaction was $2,929 in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, $3,175 in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, $3,624 in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, $4,298 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, and $3,730 in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. These increases in average revenue per transaction resulted

27


primarily from an increase in the average home purchase price from $414,000 to $558,000 between these periods. Through June 30, 2007, we recognized $8,346 of product sales revenue, primarily from yard sign sales, but have not yet begun to generate real estate commission or any other revenue from our sell-side services.

        We had not earned any revenues as a mortgage broker as of June 30, 2007, but we expect to begin earning mortgage commission revenues late in the third quarter of 2007. We expect that there will be an approximately 90-day lag between the time that a customer learns about our mortgage services and the time that we recognize commission revenue as a mortgage broker in connection with a home purchase transaction.

        We believe that the growth in our transaction volume has, to date, been primarily driven by press and media coverage generated by our public relations activities and word-of-mouth as we have yet to spend significant amounts marketing our business. Going forward, we anticipate that our business will grow at an accelerated rate as we increase our spending on marketing and advertising and acquire clients who are attracted to us after using or learning about the free sell-side listing services we now offer. We have yet to achieve profitability in any quarter since we began operations. We have focused on building out our scalable, technology-driven business model and the technology, licensing and operational processes required to support a more rapid geographical expansion after the completion of this initial public offering.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our management bases these estimates and assumptions on available information, historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The following policies require subjective and complex judgments and actual results could differ from these estimates. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we have identified the following as our most critical accounting policies:

        Revenue recognition

        We currently derive a majority of our revenues from real estate commissions earned as agents for buyers in residential real estate transactions. We recognize real estate commission revenues upon the closing of a transaction, net of any commission discount, or transaction fee adjustment, as evidenced by the closure of the escrow or similar account and the transfer of these funds to all appropriate parties. We recognize marketing fee revenues from our other business relationships as the fees are earned from the other party, typically on a monthly fee basis. We recognize product sales revenues as the products are shipped to customers. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, revenues are recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and the transaction has been completed.

    Income taxes

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under current tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount

28


expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

        As of December 31, 2006, we had a net deferred tax asset of $2,513,263. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets because we are not currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased.

    Stock-based compensation

        We maintain an equity incentive plan pursuant to which we have granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to our employees, officers, directors and consultants (non-employees). On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires that compensation expense be measured and recognized at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments granted under compensation arrangements. This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25). Prior to fiscal year 2006, we had applied the intrinsic value method as prescribed in APB No. 25, and related interpretations, in accounting for stock options granted under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation cost was recognized if the exercise price of our employee stock options was equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations prior to 2006 on stock options granted to employees, since all options granted under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan had an exercise price equal to, or greater than, the estimated market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Under SFAS No. 123R, for stock-based awards granted after January 1, 2006, we recognize compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Black-Scholes is used to determine the fair value for options issued to both employees and non-employees. We also apply the guidelines of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, for equity instruments issued to non-employees.

        The determination of the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment in developing assumptions, which involve a number of variables. Black-Scholes variables include the expected volatility of the stock price, the expected term of the option, expected dividends, forfeitures and risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate takes into account the time value of money. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at time of grant. We estimated forfeitures based on historical pre-vesting forfeitures and will revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.

        The fair value of the common stock for options granted during the period from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007 was based on the price per share at which we sold shares of stock to third parties in arm's-length capital raising transactions. We used this method of valuation, as opposed to retaining an independent valuation specialist, because we believed that our frequent sales of capital

29



stock to third parties in these transactions provided the best and most reliable measure of the then-current fair market value of our common stock. As disclosed more fully in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, we granted stock options with exercise prices of $3.75 to $10.00 during the 12 months ended June 30, 2007, reflecting the increase in the fair value of our common stock in that period.

        There were a number of factors that contributed to the difference between the range of $3.75 to $10.00 per share and an estimated initial public offering price of $5.50 per share in this offering. For example, during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we increased our number of closed buy-side transactions by 124% over the previous quarter ended March 31, 2007, and we experienced significant traction with our sell-side services, with over $600 million in MLS listing requests. We also launched our BuySide Mortgage operations in California, and began the process of filing for our initial public offering.

        Based on the assumed initial public offering price of $5.50, the intrinsic value of the options outstanding at June 30, 2007, was $425,913, of which $239,410 related to vested options and $186,503 related to unvested options. Although it is reasonable to expect that the completion of this offering will add value to the shares because they will have increased liquidity and marketability, the amount of additional value can be measured with neither precision nor certainty.

        Internal-use software and website development costs

        We account for internal-use software and website development costs in accordance with the guidance set forth in AICPA Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Uses, and FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-02, Accounting for WebSite Development Costs. We capitalize certain external costs and certain payroll and direct payroll-related costs of employees who devote time to the development of internal-use software. We amortize these costs over their estimated useful lives, which is generally two years. Our judgment is required in determining the point at which various projects enter the stages at which costs may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs, and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized. The estimated life is based on management's judgment as to the product life cycle.

    Key financial statement components

        Total revenues consists of: (1) gross real estate commission revenue earned upon the closing of a transaction, net of any commission shared with our buyer client, commission discount or transaction fee adjustment, (2) marketing fee revenue from other business relationships (all from our arrangement with Chase through June 30, 2007) recognized as the fees are earned from the other party, typically on a monthly basis and (3) product revenue from sales of yard signs and related merchandise recognized as products are shipped to customers. Gross real estate commissions are typically based on the size of the purchase price of the property and the rate of commission paid to us as the buyer agent.

        Cost of services consists primarily of wages and bonuses, related payroll taxes and benefits paid to our salaried real estate brokers, service agents and customer service representatives, licensing fees and MLS and association dues we pay on behalf of our licensed personnel, data processing costs and the cost to make or purchase and ship products.

        Technology development expenses include our information technology costs, primarily compensation and benefits for our technology development and technology operations personnel, costs paid to external consultants for technology development, amortization of previously capitalized website development costs, operating costs relating to the hosting and maintenance of our websites, software licensing fees paid to third parties primarily for website content, and certain communications expenses, net of any such costs that are required to be capitalized related to internally developed software.

31



        Marketing and advertising expenses consist of costs paid to third parties relating to our customer acquisition activities.

        General and administrative expenses consist of compensation and benefits costs of our corporate employees, occupancy costs, depreciation, insurance, legal and accounting fees and other general operating support costs.

Total revenues   $ 84,230   $ 475,397   $ 391,167   464 %

        We incorporated in April 2005 but did not begin revenue-generating real estate operations until April 2006. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, we received gross real estate commissions of $93,720 and $1,478,040, less commissions shared with buyers of $70,290 and $1,110,988, resulting in net real estate commission revenue of $23,430 and $367,052, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we earned commission revenue in connection with eight real estate purchase transactions with a total transaction value of $3.3 million, as compared to 94 transactions with a total value of $55.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the average net commission per transaction was $2,929, with an average gross rate of 2.83% per transaction, as compared to $3,905 and 2.65%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007. In both periods, we paid 75% of the gross commissions received to our customers, which payments were deducted in deriving net real estate commission revenue recognized.

        We began earning monthly marketing fees from our arrangement with Chase in March 2006. These fees were our only revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. In October 2006, we renegotiated the terms of this agreement and began receiving a higher monthly fee through March 31, 2007. Under this agreement, we earned total marketing fees of $60,800 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $99,999 during the six months ended June 30, 2007. We terminated this agreement as of March 31, 2007 to enable us in the future to begin offering our own mortgage brokerage services.

        We began recognizing revenues from the sale of yard signs and related merchandise to home sellers in April 2007 in connection with the launch of our sell-side services. These revenues amounted to $8,346 in the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Cost of services   $ 597,562   $ 795,248   $ 197,686   33 %

        We hired our initial licensed and unlicensed customer service personnel during the first quarter of 2006 in advance of the April 2006 launch of our buy-side real estate brokerage operations in California, Florida and Illinois, and began incurring cost of services primarily in the second half of that quarter as we completed our initial employee training. Cost of services increased in the first six months of 2007 versus the comparable 2006 period because we incurred a full six months of compensation and related benefits, MLS fees and licensing costs related to these buy-side service personnel in the 2007 period and due to the March 2007 launch of our sell-side services.

        We reduced the number of licensed and unlicensed real estate operations personnel between June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007 by 24% as we increased the efficiency of our technology systems and operational processes for facilitating buy-side real estate transactions.

        Although we expect to hire additional licensed and unlicensed service personnel as we expand our real estate and mortgage operations, our existing real estate service personnel have the capacity to facilitate additional transactions as we expand our customer acquisition activities and add new services.

        Although we nearly doubled the size of our technology staff from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007, employee compensation increased by only $35,287 and external consultant costs included in technology development expense decreased by $127,180 from the first six months of 2006 to the comparable 2007 period as we capitalized $267,468 of website development costs in the 2007 period versus $0 in 2006. This decrease was offset by a $67,641 increase in website hosting and communication costs between periods due to the April 2006 and March 2007 launches of our buy-side and sell-side services, respectively. We also recognized $33,433 of amortization expense in the six months ended June 30, 2007 related to previously capitalized website development costs.

        Prior to the launch of our buy-side services in April 2006, marketing and advertising costs were limited to consulting fees paid for our initial advertising and media relations activities. Beginning in April 2006, we commenced marketing our services through a steady but limited amount of Internet, television and newspaper advertising in the markets in which we operate, while continuing to promote our services through ongoing media relations activities.

        We expect our marketing and advertising expenses to increase significantly in 2008 as we plan to hire additional marketing personnel and increase spending related to branding and client acquisition activities with the proceeds from this offering.

        The increase in general and administrative expenses from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 was primarily due to a $173,604 increase in compensation and benefits costs for our corporate personnel, a $150,643 increase in stock-based compensation paid to non-employees for consulting services and a $90,390 increase in our occupancy costs as we continued to build our business.

        We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in the remainder of 2007 and future periods as we expand our operations and add personnel to support the expected growth in our business and incur additional costs related to being a public reporting company, including legal, accounting, insurance, directors fees, higher management compensation and compensation expense for additional administrative personnel.

        We earn interest income by investing available cash in short-term interest bearing accounts. Interest income has not been significant to date because of our low cash balances. Interest expense increased by $120,333 from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 related to the senior convertible bridge notes we issued beginning in May 2006. The bridge notes bear interest at a rate of 10%, which is being accrued monthly from the date of issuance until they are redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. The estimated fair value of warrants issued in connection with the bridge notes is also being accrued as interest expense over the term of the bridge notes and totaled $111,904 during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Interest expense also increased by $33,229 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to our lines of credit established in July 2006 with a commercial bank.

        We did not begin revenue-generating real estate operations until April 2006. From April through December 2006, we earned commission revenue in connection with 65 real estate purchase transactions with a total transaction value of $33 million. From these transactions, we earned $881,653 in gross real estate commissions and shared commissions with buyers totaling $662,878, resulting in net real estate commission revenue to us of $218,775. For the year ended December 31, 2006, our average net commission per transaction was $3,366, with an average gross rate of 2.67% per transaction.

        We began earning monthly marketing fees from our arrangement with Chase in March 2006.

        The increase in technology development expenses from the period ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 was due to technology development, website hosting and maintenance and communication costs related to the launch of our BuySide Realty website in April 2006 and our efforts to support the growth of our business since that date. We also incurred expenses in the second half of 2006 related to the development of our sell-side listing operations and the related website, which launched in beta form on March 22, 2007. The increase in technology development expenses in the year ended December 31, 2006 from the period ended December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of a $435,445 increase in technology salary and benefits costs, a $359,973 increase in costs related to website hosting and maintenance and a $115,781 increase in costs paid to consultants for website development. Our costs in 2006 also included $39,450 of stock-based compensation costs related to technology personnel hired beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

        The increase in general and administrative expenses from the period ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 was primarily due to a $531,158 increase in compensation and benefits costs for our corporate personnel, a $533,827 increase in our occupancy costs and a $121,286 increase in travel costs. General and administrative expenses in 2005 primarily consisted of start-up activities related to the development of our business model and operational processes, licensing, association memberships, recruiting, occupancy, travel and fund-raising activities. Aside from our executive officers, most of the corporate staff was hired during the last quarter of 2005 and our employee health and other insurance programs were also established during that quarter. We relocated in October 2005 to a significantly larger corporate office to accommodate future growth and entered into new leases for our San Diego and Miami offices in December 2005 and January 2006, respectively, in advance of the April 2006 launch of our buy-side real estate brokerage operations.

        We have experienced losses in every quarter since our inception in April 2005 as we have invested in developing our websites and proprietary technology systems, our licensing, our offices and our operational capabilities to support our innovative, technology-driven business model across multiple states.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        From our inception through June 30, 2007, we incurred net operating losses aggregating $9,448,000 to fund technology development, marketing and advertising, licensing, business development and other activities. We funded these operations primarily through cash of $4,640,000 received from sales of our common stock, $2,368,000 received from sales of our preferred stock and $575,000 received from sales of senior convertible bridge notes.

        Since June 30, 2007, we have raised additional capital through the sale of common stock and a convertible bridge note. See "—Recent Financing" above. We expect to exchange the convertible bridge note for a $1.0 million principal amount nonconvertible bridge note prior to the consummation of this offering. We expect that interest under the nonconvertible bridge note will accrue at a rate of 15% per annum, compounded annually, and that the note will be unsecured and rank senior to all of our other outstanding unsecured indebtedness. We further anticipate that all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the nonconvertible bridge note will be due and payable on the earlier to occur of (a) July 30, 2009, or (b) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets or the closing of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, stock sale or other transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which stockholders of our company prior to such acquisition own less than 50% of the surviving or resulting entity. We expect to use a portion of the proceeds of this offering to pay all principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the nonconvertible bridge note upon the consummation of this offering.

        We also had borrowed $700,000 as of June 30, 2007 under two short-term lines of credit totaling $900,000 with a commercial bank. These lines of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate, payable monthly, which rate was 8.25% at June 30, 2007. In June 2007, these lines were renewed with similar terms except both now expire on July 14, 2008. There was also $700,000 outstanding under these lines as of October 3, 2007.

        In addition, AFJ Capital, which is owned and controlled by Joseph Fox and Avi Fox, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, respectively, has periodically made loans to us for short-term working capital, which loans are payable on demand. There was $729,000 in such loans outstanding from AFJ Capital as of December 31, 2006. As of June 30, 2007, we had repaid all such amounts previously borrowed and there is currently $0 owed by us to AFJ Capital.

        We used $7,651,000 of the total proceeds from our capital raising activities to fund our operating activities and $669,000 for investing purposes, primarily the cost of internally developed software and purchase of property and equipment, through June 30, 2007.

        We had $16,000 of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2007, and $136,000 as of October 3, 2007.

        Operating activities

        Our operating activities used cash in the amount of $1,003,867, $3,756,234 and $2,891,116 in the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Uses of cash were primarily to fund net losses and changes in working capital. Our primary source of operating cash flow is the collection of our commission income from escrow companies or similar intermediaries in the real estate transaction closing process. Due to the structure of our commission arrangements, our accounts receivable are readily converted to cash and, accordingly, our accounts receivable balances at period end have historically been significantly less than one month's net revenues. Our operating cash flows will be impacted in the future by the timing of payments to our vendors for accounts payable. Our cash outflows are also impacted by the timing of the payment of compensation costs and client acquisition costs. A number of non-cash items have been charged to expense and increased our net loss. These items include depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, non-cash interest expense relating to our debt arrangements and stock-based compensation charges. To the extent these non-cash items increase or decrease in amount and increase or decrease our future operating results, there will be no corresponding impact on our cash flows.

37



        Investing activities

        Our investing activities used cash in the amount of $184,832, $152,364 and $332,212 in the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Uses of cash for investing activities were primarily related to purchases of property and equipment and in the first quarter of 2007 for the development of the Iggys House website. We primarily invest our excess cash in money market funds and other highly liquid securities with maturities of less than 90 days.

        Financing activities

        Our financing activities provided cash in the amount of $1,704,593, $3,408,329 and $3,223,904 in the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Sources of cash from financing activities primarily represented proceeds from the issuance of our common and preferred stock and notes convertible into our common stock.

        Future capital requirements

        In the audit report on our financial statements for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, our auditors included a going-concern qualification indicating that our recurring operating losses and net capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. By issuing an opinion stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, our auditors have indicated that they are uncertain as to whether we have the capability to continue our operations without additional funding. We believe, however, that our cash and cash equivalents following this offering will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months and until such time that we begin to generate positive cash flow from operations, although we may attempt to seek additional financing in the future to accelerate our growth or take advantage of other expansion opportunities that may arise.

        In the 12 months following the completion of this offering, we anticipate using the net proceeds of this offering to satisfy our existing current liabilities (approximately $1.8 million at June 30, 2007), repay the principal and accrued interest on the $1.0 million bridge note placed in July 2007, and satisfy our operating lease commitments (approximately $0.3 million in the next 12 months). In addition, although we are currently not committed to do so, we expect to spend approximately $3.0 to $3.5 million in the next 12 months to further develop our brand through new advertising and marketing programs, and approximately $2.0 to $2.5 million to develop our technology infrastructure, websites and systems.

        Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of growth into new geographic markets, our level of investment in technology and customer acquisition initiatives. Although we are currently not a party to any agreement or letter of intent with respect to investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, products or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Our ability to secure short-term and long-term financing in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including our future profitability, the quality of our short-term and long-term assets, our relative levels of debt and equity and the overall condition of the credit markets. In the event that additional financing is required, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when necessary or desired, our business, operations and results will likely suffer.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

        We lease office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through November 2010. The following table provides summary information concerning our future contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2006:


Payments Due By Periods

 
  Less than
1 year

  1 to 3 years
  3 to 5 years
  More than
5 years

  Total
Operating lease commitments   $ 297,750   $ 431,999   $ 146,267   $   $ 876,016
Commercial bank lines of credit(1)   $ 77,756   $ 940,219   $   $   $ 1,017,975

(1)
Total payments due under the commercial lines of credit were calculated on the basis of the amount drawn under these lines as of December 31, 2006 and an expiration and principal repayment date of July 14, 2008, as amended in June 2007, and using the 8.25% interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2007. As of October 3, 2007, there was $700,000 in principal amount outstanding under these lines of credit.

        Off-balance sheet arrangements

        We do not have any off balance-sheet arrangements, investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. Additionally, we are not a party to any derivative contracts or synthetic leases.

        Recent accounting pronouncements

        In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements. FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in our financial statements. It also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. We adopted FIN 48 in 2007. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing whether adoption of SFAS 157 will have any material impact on our financial statements.

        In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitiesincluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        Interest rate sensitivity

        The principal objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity and maximize income consistent with minimizing risk of material loss. The recorded carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the U.S., particularly since our investments are short-term in nature. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we have concluded that we do not have material market risk exposure.

        At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the principal amount of our variable rate debt outstanding was $900,000 and $700,000, respectively. The interest rate on this debt adjusts periodically based on the prime rate. If this interest rate had increased by 10% in 2006, our interest expense would not have been materially affected.

OUR BUSINESS

Overview

        We are an online real estate company that offers innovative services to home buyers and sellers. We share with each buyer 75% of the commission we receive from the seller or listing broker. This gives buyers a large financial incentive to use our services, while we earn significant net revenue per transaction. Our primary target is the 64% of home buyers who find homes themselves. We also offer home buyers online tools to manage their purchase transactions from search to close. Currently, we generate revenue from our buy-side services and expect to expand into other fee-generating areas, including agent referral, mortgage brokerage, title and online advertising.

        Our client acquisition strategy is unique. To capture consumers early in the transaction process, we provide sellers with free MLS listing services and the ability to post homes on our website for no charge. These services drive traffic to our fee-generating operations. Since the launch of our integrated services in March 2007, users have published more than 9,300 properties on our website with a total list price of over $3.3 billion, and used our free MLS listing service for more than 4,000 properties with a total list price of over $1.4 billion.

        Buy-side real estate services

        We currently offer online buyer's agent services in six states, representing approximately 26% of the U.S. existing home market. Our model leverages the efficiencies of the Internet and our proprietary software to provide cost-effective services to self-directed buyers. Buyers can search our database of over 600,000 MLS listings, schedule home visits, make offers and monitor each step of the offer/counteroffer process, all online. When we represent buyers, we share with them 75% of our buyer broker commission, which we receive from the seller or listing broker. We believe that this is an industry-leading financial incentive.

        To date, our average closed buy-side transaction exceeded $550,000, from which we earned an average gross commission of over $15,000. From this, on average, we paid buyers over $11,000 per transaction and earned net revenue per transaction exceeding $3,500. During the period from our launch of our buy-side operations in April 2006 to October 3, 2007, we closed 215 buy-side transactions in six states. From inception through June 30, 2007, brokerage commissions earned on buy-side transactions represented 65% of our total revenues.

        Sell-side real estate services

        We believe that we are the only company providing free MLS listings to home sellers, thereby giving them access to a critical market channel without having to pay a significant listing fee. MLS listings typically appear on major websites, including Realtor.com, exposing the home to the majority of buyers who search for homes on the Internet. We currently provide our free MLS listing service in 20 states, representing about 64% of the U.S. existing home market. We also enable sellers and their agents in all 50 states to list and self-publish exceptionally rich content about sellers' homes on our website without charge. We do not specifically derive any revenue from offering our customers these sell-side services. However, we recognize that home sellers are often home buyers, and we cross-market our revenue-generating services to them.

        Development of our business

        We were formed on April 11, 2005. For the first 12 months after our formation, we focused on building the infrastructure for our buy-side operations, including developing a website and software, acquiring real estate brokerage licenses, opening offices in Chicago, Miami and San Diego and hiring real estate licensees. We launched our buy-side services in April 2006 in three states, California, Florida and Illinois. We added buy-side operations in Georgia in June 2006, Virginia in July 2006 and Washington in June 2007. In March 2007, we launched our sell-side services in 20 states. In May 2007,

41


we launched mortgage brokerage operations in California. Our principal subsidiaries are BuySide Realty, Inc., through which we operate our buy-side service, Iggys House Realty, Inc. through which we operate our free MLS listing service, and BuySide Mortgage Corp., through which we operate our mortgage brokerage service.

Our Market

        Market size

        According to NAR, 6.5 million existing homes were sold in the U.S. in 2006. According to REAL Trends, in 2006 the total residential real estate brokerage commissions for the U.S. were approximately $59.7 billion.

        The U.S. residential real estate brokerage industry is highly fragmented. We believe, based on industry data, that in 2006 the ten largest firms accounted for 8% of total brokered transactions in this market, and the largest firm accounted for less than 4% of these total transactions. Some brokerage firms are affiliated with national franchisors, such as Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Prudential and RE/MAX. There are over 1.3 million members of the National Association of Realtors, or NAR.

        Traditional residential real estate brokers and commissions

        In a traditional transaction, the home buyer does not pay the real estate brokerage commission. Instead, the seller agrees to pay a commission, often 5-6% of the home price. The listing broker then lists the home on an MLS, an entity that enables its members to share home listing data. Through the MLS, the listing broker offers to share a portion of the total commission with other brokers if the other broker brings the buyer. Often, the listing broker and buyer's broker split the total commission 50/50. There are hundreds of multiple listing services in the U.S.

        Traditional listing brokers have been able to charge high fees partly because brokers act as gatekeepers to the MLS listing marketplace. Only real estate brokers are eligible to join and list homes on an MLS. Thus, if sellers want to list their properties on an MLS, they must hire a broker who is a member of that MLS.

        Impact of the Internet

        The Internet is reshaping the way in which real estate brokerage is conducted.

        Empowering the buyer.    The Internet empowers buyers with significant market information. Buyers can search for homes with customized criteria, view photos and videos and review community information. According to NAR, the percentage of buyers using the Internet to search for homes increased from 41% in 2001 to 80% in 2006.

        Empowering the seller.    Sellers can use the Internet to check home valuations, track the housing market and research comparable sales information. According to the California Association of Realtors, the percentage of California sellers using the Internet in the home sale process has increased from 9% in 2002 to 62% in 2006.

        Efficiency.    The Internet enables transactions to be performed far more efficiently than in the traditional model, which relies heavily on face-to-face interaction and paper documents. It facilitates automated business processes where information is electronically conveyed and stored, and documents electronically signed and reviewed. It also enables the use of templated electronic messages in many circumstances. All of these features serve to reduce the amount of time it takes to process a real estate transaction.

        Economies of scale.    The Internet facilitates centralized operations that can handle a large volume of transactions with highly automated processing.

42



        Lead generation.    The Internet can be used as a lead generation tool for real estate agents. This makes it possible for licensed agents to focus more time on the actual processing of transactions and less time on marketing.

        Lower commissions.    As efficiency increases due to the Internet, marginal costs per transaction decline. This creates the potential for significantly lower commissions. That potential has been realized in the stock and travel brokerage industries, and we believe that the real estate brokerage industry is poised for a similar change.

        Disadvantages of the traditional model for home buyers and sellers

        We believe that many consumers are dissatisfied with traditional real estate agents. Some contributing factors include:

        Buyers are doing more of the work, but not receiving a financial benefit.    Buyers are doing more of the work, yet traditional agents typically still earn a full commission and do not share any of it with the home buyer. According to NAR, 64% of all home buyers find their homes themselves, including on the Internet. These self-directed buyers who find their homes themselves and use agents are performing the most time-consuming and important work in connection with the transaction—finding the home. Yet these buyers do not receive a financial benefit for doing so.

        High transaction fees impact both buyers and sellers of real estate.    Traditional commissions vary from market to market, but generally range from 5-6% of the total sales price of the home. We believe that although the average total commission percentage has slowly declined in recent years, the gross dollar amount of the commission per transaction has increased as home prices have risen. For example, on a $500,000 home, assuming a 6% total commission with a 50/50 split, the seller's agent would receive a total commission of $30,000, of which $15,000 would be shared with the buyer's agent—and none would be shared with the buyer. These high transaction fees directly impact the price at which buyers and sellers are willing to complete transactions.

        The agent incentive structure creates conflicting priorities between agents and their clients.    Traditionally, real estate agents are paid commissions based on the sales price, rather than a salary, and do not receive their commissions unless the transaction closes. As a result, their interests are not aligned with the consumer. We believe that traditional agents view closing transactions as most important and view changes in listing prices as less important, because such changes only marginally impact their commissions. Thus, we believe that traditional agents may often encourage their clients to accept offers even when it is in the client's best interest to hold out for a better price.

        Traditional agents do not effectively capitalize on the benefits of the Internet and technology.    Traditionally, real estate agents work as independent contractors, with limited budgets for technology. They typically do not take full advantage of the Internet and technology. As a result, the real estate transaction process becomes more expensive and time-consuming.

Our Solution

        We believe we are uniquely positioned with differentiated services for both home buyers and sellers.

        We offer a compelling consumer value proposition.    Our use of the Internet and proprietary technologies allows us to offer a significant financial incentive to our buyers and reduced commissions to our sellers. We presently pay our home buyers an amount equal to 75% of our commission. We offer our home sellers free MLS listings and online self-publishing. We believe that, as interest rates rise, buyers will be more inclined to use our service to help increase their buying power.

43



        We use the Internet to empower consumers.    Through our website, we empower our users with the ability to search MLS listings, compare homes and gather information on neighborhoods. We also provide valuable services to potential home buyers through our website, such as the ability to schedule home visits, make offers and obtain loan pre-approvals.

        We focus on delivering high-quality service to self-directed consumers.    We build our business around the self-directed consumer, not the agent. Our online service offerings are designed to give consumers the ability to direct transactions at the pace and in the manner they desire. With our compensation model, we hold our agents accountable for consistently delivering a high level of client service. Our buy-side agents are salaried and receive substantial bonuses tied solely to how well they serve our customers, not the size of the transactions or whether the transactions close.

        We intend to provide a full suite of real estate related services to our customers.    We expect to provide "one-stop" shopping for the real estate consumer. We intend for our suite of services to include:

    our current buy-side real estate brokerage operations;

    our current sell-side services, consisting of MLS listings for sellers and a website where sellers can self-publish exceptionally rich content about their homes;

    agent referral services, in which we refer consumers to real estate agents;

    mortgage brokerage services;

    flat-fee real estate brokerage services, such as a la carte agent services for sellers and buyers; and

    title services.

Our Growth Strategy

        Our objective is to become the leader in comprehensive online brokerage services for buyers and sellers of U.S. residential real estate. To achieve this objective, we are pursuing the following strategy:

        Expand our services nationwide through scalable model.    Our scalable business model facilitates the expansion of our geographic footprint. Following this offering, we believe that we can rapidly expand the volume and geographic reach of our operations because much of our business is conducted through our websites. Our services are also highly automated, including sophisticated phone routing software, back-end technology that enables us to monitor and assign queues of tasks to various employees and software for preparing real estate documents. We currently offer our buy-side services in six states (California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Virginia and Washington). By the end of 2007, we expect to expand these buy-side services into a seventh state. These seven states represent approximately 35% of the U.S. existing home market. Our objective is to provide our integrated services in 21 states, representing about 71% of the U.S. existing home market, by December 31, 2008.

        Rollout additional services.    We began beta testing our mortgage brokerage services in California in May 2007. We expect to provide mortgage brokerage services in at least 21 states by the end of 2008. We expect that, by the end of 2007, we will launch our real estate agent referral service in at least 35 states. Also, by the end of 2007, we plan to launch our flat-fee brokerage service in the same states as are then covered by our buy-side services.

        Invest in our technology platform.    We believe our technology platform and the Internet will provide us with the opportunity to develop additional services for consumers looking to buy or sell a home. We plan to incorporate new technologies as they become available to help us provide enhanced functionality and increase overall ease-of-use of our websites. We believe that continuing to incorporate enhanced functionality will be a key element in increasing traffic and use of our services.

        Pursue strategic relationships.    We expect that our large geographic footprint, with our ability to rapidly expand throughout the U.S., will be attractive to potential strategic partners. We intend to

44



aggressively pursue partnerships with home builders, home supply stores, real estate web portals and other related businesses.

        Focus on branding.    Following this offering, we intend to build our brands with an advertising campaign that uses a mix of media, including the Internet, television, print, radio, direct-mail and outdoor signage. We will also conduct a publicity campaign with the objective of generating more news coverage about our services. In addition, we believe we can enhance our brand through word-of-mouth by continuing to provide a high level of service.

Our Services

        Buy-side services

        When we represent buyers, we provide them with a broad range of services. Through our website, home buyers can search our database of MLS listings, schedule home visits, make offers and monitor each step of the offer/counteroffer process. For those buyers who prefer more human interaction, we provide 24/7 phone support from our regional offices. In addition, our licensed real estate agents, working from these regional offices, assist buyers by preparing offers, counteroffers and other real estate documents, negotiating purchase contracts and preparing for closings.

        Searching for homes.    Our clients can search for homes on our website. For the six states where we currently operate our buy-side services, we provide a total of more than 600,000 MLS listings. The search results show the homes that meet the user's search criteria and for each listing display the amount of our commission that we will share with the buyer.

        Arranging financing.    Our California buyers can obtain loan pre-approvals for no fee through our website. We plan to expand these services to all states in which we operate our buy-side services.

        Visiting homes.    On our website, home buyers can view open house schedules and schedule home showings. Before we schedule a home showing for a buyer, we require the buyer to be pre-approved for a loan. We feel that the pre-approval demonstrates the financial strength of our buyer, which encourages the listing agent to show the home.

        Purchase offers.    When our buyer is ready to make a purchase offer, he or she submits the terms of the offer through our website. Our agent calls the buyer to discuss the offer and prepares the offer documents. Our agent presents the buyer's offer to the listing agent and a series of negotiations and counteroffers often ensues. Our agents support the buyer at each step of this negotiating process, until the contract is signed. Our software tracks the offer history for the property.

        Earnest money.    Our buyers generally authorize us to print an earnest money check drawn from their bank account. In some cases, they prefer to send us the earnest money check by another means, such as overnight courier. We do not hold the earnest money, except where local practice or law requires us to do so. After the contract is accepted by the seller, we forward the check to whoever is acting as escrow holder.

        Countdown to Closing.    Typically, after the contract is accepted, our licensed agents work closely with the buyer through the contingency period, when the buyer has a home inspection and arranges home financing. In addition, our buyers can use the Countdown to Closing feature of our website to keep track of key dates and contact information, view transaction documents and find helpful information as they approach closing.

        Payment of client.    We pay our clients by check within 14 days after closing. Or, if the buyer prefers, we pay them in the form of a credit at closing. The choice is up to the buyer, unless state law or the lender requires that one of these approaches be used.

45



        Customer support.    When we represent buyers, we provide them 24/7 phone support by customer service representatives. In addition, we assign a licensed agent to each buyer that we represent, who assist our buyers by phone from our regional offices.

        Sell-side services

        We serve sell-side real estate consumers by providing free MLS listing services, granting home sellers with access to a critical marketing channel that would otherwise require them to pay a significant listing fee. We also enable sellers and agents to self-publish their homes on our website for no charge. We use these free services as a client acquisition and branding tool.

        Multiple listing service.    We provide a free MLS listing service. This service enables sellers to list their homes through an automated, online process in which they input the data needed for listing, upload photos and review and electronically sign listing documents. The data that we gather is customized for each MLS, in addition to the documents that the seller signs and reviews. We provide free MLS listings for sellers on a total of 27 MLSs in 20 states as of October 3, 2007. In some states, such as California and Florida, we are a member of several MLSs. We expect in the future to join more in the states where we are already a member of an MLS. We believe that an MLS listing is the most powerful channel for marketing a home. An MLS listing exposes the property to real estate brokers and agents who use the MLS, and indirectly to buyers who are their clients. In most MLSs, an MLS listing also causes the home to be displayed on numerous real estate search sites, including Realtor.com, MSN.com, WSJ.com and websites of brokers who are MLS participants.

        Free personalized website for sellers and agents.    We enable sellers and agents in all 50 states to self-publish homes on our website. Using this free publishing tool, sellers and agents can post exceptionally rich content about homes, including unlimited photos and videos and detailed descriptions. Sellers and agents can leverage the exposure on our websites by also posting the home on sites such as Craigslist.com and linking back to the photos and other rich content about the home on our website. Sellers can also leverage that exposure by using our free MLS listing, which causes the home to appear on Realtor.com, with links back to the home posting on our website.

        Additional services

        We intend to launch our agent referral service and flat-fee real estate brokerage services by the end of 2007. The agent referral service will refer customers to real estate brokers, in return for a fee paid to us by the broker. Our flat-fee brokerage service will offer a la carte real estate brokerage services to home sellers and buyers, in return for an upfront fee. We also expect to roll-out our mortgage brokerage operations, which we started in California in May 2007. In addition, we expect to provide title services in the future.

Marketing and Publicity

        Our marketing strategy employs a mix of media, including the Internet, television, print, radio, direct-mail and outdoor signage. Our advertising directs interested prospects to our websites for more information. To date, we have received extensive media coverage including television, radio, newspaper and magazine articles and reports.

        We have been featured in articles in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, CNNMoney.com, SmartMoney magazine and Money magazine, as well as reports on ABC World News Tonight and Fox News. We believe that this media coverage helps educate consumers about our services and reduces our client acquisition costs. We will continue to aggressively pursue public relations opportunities at both the national and local levels to build brand awareness. We believe it is important to educate consumers about our services, and that media stories are an effective, credible and inexpensive way to accomplish this. We believe the main reason that the press is interested in our story is the unique value proposition that we offer to consumers.

Technology

        Our operations are designed to leverage the efficiencies and scalability of the Internet and other technology. Our comprehensive use of technology enables our agents to support significantly more transactions than traditional competitors. We have developed software that enables buyers to search for homes online and handle many aspects of the purchase transaction online and enables us to efficiently handle requests for MLS listings.

        Software for buy-side services    

        MLS search feature and database.    On our website, buyers search our database of over 600,000 MLS listings and more than two million MLS photos. We are able to achieve this scale by aggregating data from many MLS databases and mapping the different feeds, enabling users to search the data in a standardized manner.

        Visiting homes.    Through our software, home buyers view open house schedules and schedule home showings.

        Offers.    Our software includes a "Make an Offer" sequence that enables buyers to enter the key terms on the offer online. The sequence is tailored on a state-by-state basis. In addition, buyers use our online Offer Management feature. This feature displays the history of offers and counteroffers on a property, showing the price, time and date made, with links to documents for offers and counteroffers. It also displays the current status of the offer process.

        Countdown to Closing.    Our buyers use our online Countdown to Closing feature to keep track of key dates and contact information, view transaction documents and find helpful information as they approach closing.

        Software for MLS listings for home sellers

        MLS listing data for home sellers.    Our software enables sellers to provide us listing data online. This application is tailored on an MLS-by-MLS basis. For each MLS, we gather different data from the seller and provide different online help text. Our online process is far more efficient than the traditional approach, in which the agent meets with the customer, verbally asks questions and manually records the answers.

        Document management.    We enable home sellers who request an MLS listing to review and sign documents online. The types of form and content of the forms vary on a state-by-state and MLS-by-MLS basis. When the seller signs a form online, our software automatically stores an electronic copy and provides it to the seller by email. The seller can also view the signed documents online. Our online signature and document storage process is far more efficient that the traditional method of gathering the seller's manual signature and storing and delivering hard copies of documents.

        Software for self-publishing

        Our website is differentiated by the exceptionally rich content that users can publish about their homes, as well as the flexibility that the website offers to users. Our software empowers sellers and agents to input unlimited photos and videos, as well as detailed descriptions about their homes. Sellers and agents create and manage a marketing platform for the home and provide its content. In addition, agents who post homes can market themselves on our site, by including their name, photo and a link to their own site in their home postings.

        Additional technology

        We have developed customer relationship management software to manage interactions between our consumers and our employees. Among other things, this software enables us to monitor queues of

47


tasks that require action, assign tasks to employees, track the progress of real estate transactions and inform the client of the status of various matters.

Intellectual Property

        Our success depends upon our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on a combination of intellectual property rights, including trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks, as well as customary contractual protections. We have three registered trademarks, including BuySide Rebate, Countdown to Closing and Where It Pays To Find Your Own Home. We also have pending trademark applications. We do not have any patents or applications for patents. Nor do we have any registered copyrights. Our trade secrets consist primarily of the proprietary software that we have developed for our buy-side services, MLS listing services and self-publishing services, as described in more detail in "Our Business—Technology." Our trade secrets also include operational knowledge of how to provide free MLS listing services in the MLSs where we currently operate.

Competition

        The residential real estate market is highly fragmented, and we have numerous competitors, many of which have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, larger client bases, and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do.

        Some of our competitors in the residential real estate brokerage market are traditional brokerage firms, including large national brokerage firms or franchisors, such as Prudential Financial, Inc., RE/MAX International Inc. and Realogy Corporation. Realogy owns the Century 21, Coldwell Banker and ERA franchise brands. Realogy also owns NRT Incorporated, which owns and operates brokerages that are typically affiliated with one of the franchise brands owned by Realogy. We compete with these traditional brokers primarily on price and service. Although our commissions are generally lower than these traditional brokers, consumers may be attracted to traditional brokers because they offer or are perceived to offer higher levels of service.

        We also compete with non-traditional real estate brokerage firms including ZipRealty, Inc., iNest Realty, Inc. (a subsidiary of IAC/Interactive Corp) and Redfin Corporation, each of whom pays cash rebates to clients and relies to a large extent on the efficiencies of the Internet. We compete with these non-traditional brokers primarily on price and service. Our commissions are generally lower than these non-traditional brokers. For example, ZipRealty and Redfin rebate about 20% and 66%, respectively, of their commission to home buyers, whereas we share 75% of our commission with buyers. iNest rebates 1% of the home sale price to buyers. In contrast, as of September 12, 2007, the amount we that have shared with buyers on closed transactions since our launch has been, on average, about 1.98% of the home sale price. Consumers may be attracted to some non-traditional brokers, such as ZipRealty, because they offer or are perceived to offer higher levels of service.

        In addition, we compete with discount real estate listing services, such as ForSaleByOwner.com and BuyOwner.com. We compete with these discount service providers primarily on price and service. We do not charge anything for our MLS listing service. In contrast, discount service providers typically charge their customers hundreds or thousands of dollars to list a home on an MLS. However, consumers may be attracted to some discount listers because they offer or are perceived to offer higher levels of service.

        We compete or may in the future compete with various online services, including Move, Inc., Zillow.com, HouseValues, Inc., HomeGain.com, Yahoo!, Inc., Google Inc. and Trulia, Inc., that also look to attract and monetize home buyers and sellers using the Internet. Move, Inc. operates the Realtor.com website. Move is affiliated with NAR, the National Association of Home Builders, the Manufactured Housing Institute and hundreds of MLSs, which may provide Move, Inc. with preferred access to listing information and other competitive advantages. We compete with these service

48



providers primarily on the information available on our websites, including listings of homes for sale, home valuation and community data. We do not provide home valuation data, and some other sites such as Realtor.com, have more listings and more data about the community.

        We will face significant competition in the home mortgage brokerage industry. Wholesale Access, an industry research and consulting firm, reports that in 2004 there were 53,000 mortgage brokerages operating in the United States with the ten largest accounting for 37.3% of total loan originations. Aside from other mortgage brokerage firms, our competitors include consumer finance companies and commercial banks. We expect to compete in the mortgage industry primarily on price and service. Although we offer competitive mortgage interest rates, consumers may be attracted to other mortgage brokers or lenders because they offer or are perceived to offer a higher level of service.

Regulatory Environment

        Our industry is highly regulated. In the conduct of our business, we must monitor and comply with a wide variety of applicable laws and regulations of both the government and private organizations.

        Government regulation

        We are subject to extensive regulation at the federal, state and local levels.

        Federal regulation.    Federal laws and regulations govern the real estate brokerage business. These include the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, or RESPA, and federal fair housing laws. RESPA requires disclosures to home buyers and sellers of settlement costs and restricts the payment of kickback or referral fees for settlement services. RESPA does not prohibit referral fees paid by one real estate broker to another broker. Federal fair housing laws generally make it illegal to discriminate against protected classes of individuals in housing or brokerage services. Other federal regulations protect the privacy rights of consumers and affect our opportunities to solicit new clients. Like real estate brokerage, mortgage brokerage is subject to RESPA and federal fair housing laws. Mortgage brokerage is also regulated by other federal laws such as the Truth in Lending Act, Regulation Z and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Title insurance is also highly regulated.

        State regulation.    Real estate licensing laws vary from state to state, but generally all individuals and entities acting as real estate brokers or salespersons must be licensed in the state in which they conduct business. A person licensed as a broker may either work independently or may work for another broker in the role of an associate broker, conducting business on behalf of the sponsoring broker. A person licensed as a salesperson must be affiliated with a broker in order to engage in licensed real estate brokerage activities. Generally, a corporation engaged in the real estate brokerage business must obtain a corporate real estate broker license. In order to obtain this license, most jurisdictions require that an officer of the corporation be licensed individually as a real estate broker in that jurisdiction. If applicable, this officer-broker is responsible for supervising the licensees and the corporation's real estate brokerage activities within the state. Real estate licensees, whether they are brokers, salespersons, individuals or entities, must follow the state's real estate licensing laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally prescribe minimum duties and obligations of these licensees to their clients and the public, as well as standards for the conduct of business, including contract and disclosure requirements, record keeping requirements, requirements for local offices, trust fund handling, agency representation, advertising regulations and fair housing requirements. Although payment of rebates or credits to real estate purchasers of the type we offer are permitted in most states, some states either do not permit these rebates or credits or do not permit them in the form that we currently provide them. In each of the states where we currently have operations, we have designated one of our employees as the individually licensed lead broker and we hold a corporate real estate broker's license where required by law. In addition to state laws regarding real estate brokerage, we must comply with state laws regarding mortgage brokerage, including laws that regulate the timing and content of disclosures.

49



        Local regulation.    Local regulations also govern the conduct of our business. Local regulations generally require additional disclosures by the parties to a real estate transaction or their agents, or the receipt of reports or certifications, often from the local governmental authority, prior to the closing or settlement of a real estate transaction.

        Trade regulation

        In addition to governmental regulations, we are subject to rules and regulations established by private real estate trade organizations, including, among others, local MLSs, NAR, state Associations of Realtors and local Associations of Realtors. The rules and regulations of the various MLSs to which we belong vary, and specify, among other things, how we as a broker member can use MLS listing data, including the use and display of this data on our website.

        The United States Department of Justice, or DOJ, has filed a lawsuit against NAR, that involves access to MLS listings. The DOJ filed the lawsuit in 2005, alleging that NAR had adopted certain MLS policies that illegally restrained competition. Two of these NAR policies were "opt-out" provisions. One created a selective opt-out, which enabled a broker in an MLS to selectively prohibit certain participants in the MLS from displaying the broker's MLS listings on their website. The other created a blanket opt-out, which enabled a broker in an MLS to prohibit all other participants in the MLS from displaying the broker's MLS listings on their websites, even though traditional brokers could easily display these listings in another manner. The lawsuit is still pending. NAR has already repealed the selective opt-out provision. If the DOJ's lawsuit against NAR is decided or settled in a manner that permits selective or blanket "opt-outs," then our access to MLS listings could be restricted, thereby reducing the number of listings that our clients could search on our website. Although this would not affect our ability to share commissions with buyers, it could negatively affect this search feature on our website and thereby make it less attractive to potential home buyers.

        NAR, as well as the state and local Associations of Realtors, also have codes of ethics, rules and regulations governing the actions of members in dealings with other members, clients and the public. We are required to comply with these codes of ethics, rules and regulations by virtue of our membership in these organizations.

Property

        We lease our headquarters office in Chicago, Illinois under a lease ending November 2008. We have a three-year lease for our Miami, Florida office that ends February 2009. We lease our office in San Diego, California under a five-year lease ending November 2010. We recently signed a three-year lease for our San Francisco, California office, which ends June 2010. Our Chicago, Miami, San Diego and San Francisco offices consist of about 13,125, 3,500, 4,400 and 1,168 rentable square feet, respectively. We also lease or use small offices in other cities to comply with licensing requirements. We do not own any real estate. We believe that our leased facilities are adequate to meet our current needs and that additional facilities will be available for lease to meet our future needs.

Employees

        At October 3, 2007, we had a total of 50 employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees.

Legal Proceedings

        We are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Board of Directors

        Upon the closing of this offering, our certificate of incorporation will authorize a board of directors consisting of at least five, but no more than eleven, members, with the number of directors to be fixed from time to time by a resolution of the board. Our board of directors currently consists of three directors and, upon the closing of this offering, will consist of seven directors.

        Upon the closing of this offering, our certificate of incorporation will be amended to divide our board of directors into three staggered classes of directors of the same or nearly the same number. At each annual meeting of stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring. As a result, a portion of our board of directors will be elected each year. The expected terms of these three classes and the expected directors in each class are as follows:

    the Class I directors' initial term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2008 (our initial Class I directors will be Joseph Barr, Lawrence Wert and David Dresdner);

    the Class II directors' initial term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2009 (our initial Class II directors will be Avi Fox and Kurt Werth); and

        The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control.

        We believe that, immediately after the closing of this offer, all of our directors, except Joseph Fox, Avi Fox and Joseph Barr, will be independent under the requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC's rules and regulations.

Committees of the Board of Directors

        Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, our board of directors will establish an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board may establish other committees from time to time to facilitate the management of our company.

        Audit committee.    Our audit committee will oversee a broad range of issues surrounding our accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our financial statements, including by (1) assisting our board in monitoring the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, our independent auditor's qualifications and independence and the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors, (2) appointing, compensating, retaining and overseeing the work of any independent registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of performing any audits, reviews or attest services, and (3) preparing the audit committee report that the SEC rules require be included in our annual proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K. We will have at least three directors on our audit committee, each of whom will be independent under the requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC. We expect that the initial members of our audit committee will be James Roseland, Kurt Werth and David Dresdner. We expect that James Roseland will be our audit committee chair and will be our audit committee financial expert as defined by the SEC rules

53



implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The audit committee will operate pursuant to a written charter, the full text of which will be posted on our website at www.IggysHouse.com.

        Compensation committee.    Our compensation committee will review and recommend our policies relating to compensation and benefits for our executive officers and other significant employees, including reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, evaluating the performance of our executive officers relative to goals and objectives, determining compensation for these executive officers based on these evaluations and overseeing the administration of our incentive compensation plans. The compensation committee will also prepare the compensation committee report that the SEC requires to be included in our annual proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K. We will have at least two directors on our compensation committee, each of whom will be independent under the requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. We expect that the initial members of our compensation committee will be Lawrence Wert and David Dresdner. We expect that David Dresdner will be our compensation committee chair. The compensation committee will operate pursuant to a written charter, the full text of which will be posted on our website at www.IggysHouse.com.

        Nominating and corporate governance committee.    Our nominating and corporate governance committee will (1) identify, review and recommend nominees for election as directors, (2) advise our board of directors with respect to board composition, procedures and committees, (3) recommend directors to serve on each committee, (4) oversee the evaluation of our board of directors and our management, and (5) develop, review and recommend corporate governance guidelines and policies. We will have at least two directors on our nominating and corporate governance committee, each of whom will be independent under the requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market. We expect that the initial members of our nominating and corporate governance committee will be David Dresdner and Kurt Werth. We expect that Kurt Werth will be our nominating and corporate governance committee chair. The nominating and corporate governance committee will operate pursuant to a written charter, the full text of which will be posted on our website at www.IggysHouse.com.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        Our board of directors did not have a compensation committee in 2006. During 2006, all of our executive compensation decisions were made by Joseph Fox, Avi Fox and Joseph Barr, as our board of directors. Each of them is an executive officer of our company.

Code of Ethics

        Prior to the closing of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a code of ethics for our principal executive and senior financial officers. This code of ethics will apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, and persons performing similar functions. Upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the full text of this code will be posted on our website at www.IggysHouse.com. We intend to disclose future amendments to provisions of our code of ethics, or waivers of such provisions, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, as required by law or regulation.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

        Philosophy and objectives

        The primary objective of our compensation policies and programs with respect to executive compensation is to serve our stockholders by attracting, retaining and motivating talented and qualified individuals to manage and lead our business. We focus on providing a competitive compensation package that provides significant short and long-term incentives for the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance objectives. Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, we will establish a compensation committee and future decisions regarding executive compensation will be the responsibility of that committee. In 2006, we paid our executive officers a mix of base salary and bonus compensation, with all compensation decisions being made by Joseph Fox, our Chief Executive Officer. As a private company, our compensation plans were developed informally by Joseph Fox on an individual basis.

        Elements of executive compensation

        Base salary.    We seek to provide our senior management with a level of base salary in the form of cash compensation appropriate to their roles and responsibilities. Base salaries for our executives have been established based on the executive's qualifications, experience, scope of responsibilities, future potential and past performance and cash available to pay executive compensation. Base salaries are reviewed annually and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. In 2006, we considered four factors in determining the base salaries of our named executive officers. These four factors were, in order of significance, (1) creating an incentive to achieve corporate goals, (2) individual performance, (3) cash available to pay compensation, and (4) the total compensation each executive officer previously received while employed with us.

        Joseph Fox measured the first two factors (incentive and performance) subjectively, and the third and fourth factors (cash available and total previous compensation) objectively. With respect to the first two factors, Joseph Fox structured our executive officers' total compensation packages, which initially included a $100,000 annual base salary in 2006 for each officer, in a manner that he believed would reward our officers for their personal performance and incentivize them to achieve our primary corporate goals for that year, which goals included the launch of our buy-side website and buy-side real estate brokerage operations in California, Florida and Illinois, the expansion of our buy-side operations into Georgia and Virginia, and the development of our sell-side operations. Notwithstanding his initial compensation determination, in May 2006 and at various points during the year thereafter, Mr. Fox largely based his ongoing compensation decisions on our cash position (the third factor), and determined that our limited cash resources should be used for other corporate purposes. Upon Mr. Fox's request, our executive officers agreed to forego their base salaries from May 2006 through December 2006. In January 2007, Mr. Fox determined that sufficient cash was then available to resume paying base salaries to our executive officers, and we resumed doing so at that time.

        In establishing executive officer compensation for 2006, Mr. Fox evaluated the fourth factor, our officers' total compensation since our inception, on an ongoing basis. Among other things, Mr. Fox considered the substantial periods of time in 2005 and 2006 during which our executive officers agreed to work without any cash compensation, including during the period from our formation in April 2005 through August 2005 and from May 2006 through December 2006 as discussed above. Mr. Fox concluded that this fourth factor militated strongly in favor of paying our executive officers higher base salaries than what was actually paid to them, but ultimately determined that our limited cash resources and development resource requirements throughout the year precluded him from doing so.

        Incentive cash bonuses.    Our practice is to award incentive cash bonuses to our executive officers based upon their individual performance, as well as our overall business and strategic objectives. In January 2007, we paid each of Joseph Fox and Avi Fox a bonus for 2006 of $100,000. We expect that our compensation committee will adopt formal processes for incentive cash bonuses beginning in 2008 and will utilize incentive cash bonuses to reward executives for achieving corporate financial and operational goals and for achieving individual performance objectives. In determining the amount of cash bonuses paid to our named executive officers for 2006, we considered the same four factors (and used the same weighting and method of measurement) as in determining base salary. Joseph Fox determined that each of he and Avi Fox should be paid a cash bonus for 2006 of $100,000, which we paid in January 2007 when our cash resources enabled us to do so. We paid these bonuses to Joseph Fox and Avi Fox as a reward for their unique strategic contributions to our business, including the development of the concept for, and leading the implementation of, our sell-side strategy.

        Long-term equity compensation.    We believe that successful long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term performance by our executive officers through the use of stock and stock-based awards. We have established equity incentive plans to provide our employees, including our named executive officers, with incentives to help align those employees' interests with the interests of our stockholders. Our incentive plans permit the grant of stock options, restricted shares and other stock awards to our executive officers, employees, consultants and non-employee board members. When we hire executive officers in the future, we expect to grant them stock-based awards that will generally vest over a four-year period. We believe that stock-based awards provide an incentive for these officers to continue their employment with us, provide our executive officers with an opportunity to obtain an ownership interest in our company and encourage them to focus on our long-term profitable growth. We believe that the use of stock-based awards will promote our overall executive compensation objectives and expect that equity incentives will continue to be a significant source of compensation for our executives. In determining amounts awarded to our named executive officers in 2006 under our incentive plans, we considered the same four factors (and used the same method of measurement) as in determining base salary. The third factor (cash available) had an indirect effect when determining long-term equity compensation. Specifically, to the extent that this factor caused us not to pay base salary or cash bonuses, we determined that it would be appropriate to provide compensation through long-term equity compensation in lieu of such cash compensation.

        We issued stock options to Joseph Barr, our President and Chief Financial Officer, and Stephen Otis, our General Counsel. These stock options had a maximum term of ten years. Additionally, we granted restricted stock awards to these two officers when they started working for us in 2005. The stock options and restricted stock awards for these two officers generally vested as to 25% of the shares underlying the grant on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. The stock options and restricted stock awards for these two officers also generally vest in full upon a change of control.

        On October 3, 2007, we issued to each of Mr. Barr and Mr. Otis a restricted stock award for 100,000 shares of common stock. These restricted stock awards for Mr. Barr and Mr. Otis vest over three years, with one third vesting on March 15, 2009, March 15, 2010 and March 15, 2011, except that they vest in full upon a change of control. Joseph Fox determined that this issuance of restricted stock awards for Mr. Barr and Mr. Otis was desirable because a substantial portion of their compensation during the years that they have worked for us has been in the form of stock options, and the five-for-one reverse stock split contemplated to occur immediately before this offering will cause many of these options to have an exercise price per share that is greater than the estimated initial public offering price of our common stock. Mr. Fox determined that this issuance of restricted stock awards to Mr. Barr and Mr. Otis was appropriate in order to incentivize them to achieve corporate goals (which, as of the date of the determination, included the anticipated launch of our agent referral and flat fee real estate brokerage services) and to reward them for individual performance and service to our company. Mr. Fox also determined that the restricted stock awards, all of which were unvested upon grant, create an incentive for Mr. Barr and Mr. Otis to remain with us in the future.

        Other compensation.    Our executive officers are eligible to receive the same benefits, including non-cash group life and health benefits, that are available to all employees. In January 2006, we began offering a 401(k) plan to our employees, including our named executive officers. This plan permits employees to make contributions up to a statutory maximum and permits us to make matching or profit-sharing contributions. To date, we have not made or committed to make any matching or profit-sharing contributions under this plan.

        Policies related to compensation

        Guidelines for equity awards.    We have not formalized a policy as to the amount or timing of equity grants to our executive officers. We expect, however, that the compensation committee will approve and adopt guidelines for equity awards. Among other things, we expect that the guidelines will specify procedures for equity awards to be made under various circumstances, address the timing of equity awards in relation to the availability of information about us and provide procedures for grant information to be communicated to and tracked by our finance department. We anticipate that the guidelines will require that any stock options or stock appreciation rights have an exercise or strike price not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant.

        Stock ownership guidelines.    As of the date of this prospectus, we have not established ownership guidelines for our executive officers or directors.

        Compliance with Sections 162(m) and 409A of the Internal Revenue Code

        Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers, unless such compensation qualifies as performance-based compensation. Among other things, in order to be deemed performance-based compensation for Section 162(m) purposes, the compensation must be based on the achievement of pre-established, objective performance criteria and must be pursuant to a plan that has been approved by our stockholders. At least for the next several years, we expect the cash compensation paid to our executive officers to be below the threshold for non-deductibility provided in Section 162(m), and our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan will afford our compensation committee with the flexibility to make a variety of types of equity awards to our executive officers that will qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). However, as our compensation committee, which is only now being formed, will fashion our future equity compensation awards, we do not now know whether any such awards will satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m).

        We also currently intend for our executive compensation program to satisfy the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, which addresses the tax treatment of certain nonqualified deferred compensation benefits.

These amounts were calculated utilizing the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies—Stock-Based Compensation" for information regarding the assumptions used in the valuation of equity awards.

        From January through May 2006, we paid each of Joseph Fox, Avi Fox, Joseph Barr and Stephen Otis a salary at the rate of $100,000 per year. However, in May 2006, we discontinued paying salaries to these executive officers in order to make cash available for other corporate needs. From May 2006 to December 2006, we paid no salary to these executive officers. Thus, the total salary that we paid to each of them in 2006 was $30,769.

        In 2006, we did not grant any new stock options or stock awards to these officers. However, in August 2006, Joseph Barr personally guaranteed a $100,000 line of credit for us, and in return, among other things, we accelerated the vesting of all of his then outstanding stock options to purchase    shares of our common stock.

        From our April 11, 2005 inception to December 31, 2006, each of Joseph Fox and Avi Fox received total compensation of $61,154, which consisted entirely of salary. In January 2007, we paid each of Joseph Fox and Avi Fox a bonus of $100,000. These bonuses were determined based upon our available cash at the time, their service to our company and the amount of salary paid to them in 2005 and 2006.

Employment Agreements

        We expect to enter into employment agreements with Joseph Fox, Avi Fox, Joseph Barr and Stephen Otis. Each of the employment agreements will be effective on the closing of this offering, has a three-year term and automatically extends in one-year increments unless we notify the executive in that year that his employment agreement will not be extended.

        Before entering into these employment agreements, the 2007 base salary was $160,000 each for Avi Fox and Joseph Fox and $137,500 each for Joseph Barr and Stephen Otis. The employment agreements

58



provide for annual base salaries at the following initial rates: $175,000 each for Joseph Fox and Avi Fox and $150,000 each for Joseph Barr and Stephen Otis. The annual base salaries will be reviewed each year by the compensation committee, but cannot be decreased from the amount in effect in the previous year. The employment agreements also make each executive eligible for annual bonuses determined by the compensation committee; provided, that beginning in 2008 the annual bonus shall be at least 25% of base salary and paid throughout the year in equal quarterly installments beginning in the first quarter of 2008, and except that a bonus for 2007 equal to at least 25% of the base annual salary rate in effect at the end of 2007 shall be paid no later than January 2008. The employment agreements also provide that these officers are eligible to participate in our equity incentive plans and other employee benefit programs.

        Our decision to enter into these new employment agreements, each of which provides for a salary increase above current compensation levels, was made by Joseph Fox, our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Fox based his decision to increase the salaries of our named executive officers on several factors including, in order of significance, his desire to create an incentive for them to remain employed with us, which we consider important to our ability to achieve corporate goals, and the performance of each individual. Mr. Fox measured these two factors (incentive and performance) subjectively.

        The employment agreements impose on each employee post-termination non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality obligations. Under the agreements, each officer will agree not to compete with our business in the United States, subject to certain limited exceptions, for a period of two years after termination of his employment (provided that the agreements are terminated other than for good reason by the officers or without cause by us). Each officer will further agree, for a period of three years after termination of his employment, to refrain from inducing, or attempting to induce, any of our customers or employees to curtail or terminate their relationship or employment with us, as applicable. Each officer will also agree to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information of our company, and assign any inventions to us that he acquired or developed during his relationship with us.

        The employment agreements provide for payments and benefits upon termination of employment in addition to those previously accrued. If the executive is terminated due to death or disability, the executive will receive:

    instead of a bonus for that year, a lump sum cash payment equal to the average annual bonus paid to him in the three previous years, prorated to reflect the part of the year completed before termination; and

    in case of disability, continued participation in our employee benefit plans until age 65.

        If we terminate the executive's employment other than for cause, including after a change in control, or if the executive terminates employment for good reason, the executive will receive:

    a lump sum cash payment equal to (1) the sum of his then-current annual salary plus an amount equal to the average annual bonus paid to him for the three previous years multiplied by (2) 2.9, in the case of each of Joseph Fox and Avi Fox, and 2.5 in the case of each of Joseph Barr and Stephen Otis;

    instead of a bonus for that year, a lump sum cash payment equal to his average annual bonus for the previous three years, which, unless the termination occurs within the period beginning 60 days before a change in control and ending two years after a change in control, will be prorated to reflect the part of the year completed before termination;

    continued health, medical and life insurance coverage for one year; and

    if payments under the employment agreement are subject to the golden parachute excise tax, an additional gross-up amount so that his after-tax benefits are the same as if no excise tax had applied.

59


        In addition, if we terminate Joseph Fox or Avi Fox without cause or either of them terminates his employment for good reason, then during the period starting 30 days after a change in control and ending two years after a change in control, we will use our reasonable best efforts to register the offer and sale of shares of our common stock that Joseph Fox or Avi Fox, as the case may be, beneficially owns.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

        As of December 31, 2006, there were no potential payments or benefits payable to our named executive officers upon their termination or in connection with a change in control. See "Employment Agreements" above for a description of the provisions under the employment agreements we expect to enter into with our named executive officers regarding payments and benefits to them upon termination of their employment.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2006

        We did not grant any plan-based awards to our named executive officers in 2006.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested in 2006

        None of our named executive officers exercised any options, nor did any unvested stock granted to our named executive officers vest, during fiscal year 2006.

2007 Equity Incentive Plan

        Prior to the closing of this offering, we expect to adopt our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The purposes of the plan are to attract and retain qualified persons upon whom our sustained progress, growth and profitability depend, to motivate these persons to achieve long-term company goals and to more closely align these persons' interests with those of our other stockholders by providing them with a proprietary interest in our growth and performance. Our executive officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the plan. Upon adoption, there will be 1,500,000 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.

        Administration of plan.    The plan is administered by our compensation committee which interprets the plan and has broad discretion to select the eligible persons to whom awards will be granted, as well as the type, size and terms and conditions of each award, including the exercise price of stock options, the number of shares subject to awards and the expiration date of, and the vesting schedule or other restrictions applicable to, awards. The committee may establish, amend, suspend or waive any rules relating to the plan, and make any other determination or take any other action that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the plan. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the plan, all

60



determinations, designations, interpretations and other decisions of the committee are final, conclusive and binding. All determinations of the committee will be made by a majority of its members.

        Awards.    The plan allows us to grant the following types of awards:

    stock options (non-qualified and incentive stock options);

    stock appreciation rights, or SARs;

    restricted and unrestricted stock;

    restricted stock units;

    performance units; and

    other stock-based awards.

        In any calendar year, no person may be granted awards that are determined by reference to the value of shares of our common stock or appreciation in the value of these shares representing, in the aggregate, more than 400,000 shares of our common stock.

        Stock options.    Options may be granted by our compensation committee and may be either non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options. Options are subject to the terms and conditions, including vesting conditions, set by the committee (and incentive stock options are subject to further statutory restrictions). The exercise price for all stock options granted under the plan will be determined by the committee, except that no stock options can be granted with an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Further, stockholders who own greater than 10% of our voting stock will not be granted incentive stock options that have an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of all stock options granted under the plan will be determined by the committee, but may not exceed ten years (five years for incentive stock options granted to stockholders who own greater than 10% of our voting stock). No incentive stock option may be granted to an optionee, which, when combined with all other incentive stock options becoming exercisable in any calendar year that are held by that optionee, would have an aggregate fair market value in excess of $100,000. In the event an optionee is awarded $100,000 in incentive stock options in any calendar year, any incentive stock options in excess of $100,000 granted during the same year will be treated as non-qualified stock options. Each option will be exercisable at such time and pursuant to such terms and conditions as determined by the committee in the applicable stock option agreement. Each option gives the grantee the right to receive a number of shares of our common stock upon exercise of the option and payment of the exercise price. The exercise price may be paid by cash or, if approved by the committee, shares of our common stock or restricted common stock.

        SARs.    All SARs must be granted on a stand-alone basis (i.e., not in conjunction with stock options granted under the plan). A SAR granted under the plan entitles its holder to receive, at the time of exercise, an amount per share equal to the excess of the fair market value at the date of exercise of a share of our common stock over a specified price, known as the strike price, fixed by the committee, which will not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date of the SAR. Payment may be made in cash, shares of our common stock or other property, in any combination as determined by the committee.

        Restricted stock and restricted stock units.    Restricted stock is our common stock that is forfeitable until the restrictions lapse. Restricted stock units are rights granted as an award to receive shares of our common stock, conditioned upon the satisfaction of restrictions imposed by the committee. The committee will determine the restrictions for each award and the purchase price in the case of restricted stock, if any. Restrictions on the restricted stock and restricted stock units may include time-based restrictions, the achievement of specific performance goals or, in the case of restricted stock units, the occurrence of a specific event. Vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units is

61



conditioned upon the grantee's continued employment. If the performance goals are not achieved or the restrictions do not lapse within the time period provided in the award agreement, the grantee will forfeit his or her restricted stock and/or restricted stock units.

        Performance units.    Performance units are any grant of (1) a bonus consisting of cash or other property the amount and value of which, and/or the receipt of which, is conditioned upon the achievement of certain performance goals specified by the committee, or (2) a unit valued by reference to a designated amount of property. Performance units may be paid in cash, shares of common stock or restricted stock units. The committee will determine the number and terms of all performance units, including the performance goals and performance period during which the goals must be met. If the performance goals are not attained during the performance period specified in the award agreement, the grantee will forfeit all of his or her performance units.

        Performance-based compensation.    The objective performance criteria for awards (other than stock options and SARs) granted under the plan that are designed to qualify for the performance-based exception from the tax deductibility limitations of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code are to be based on one or more of the following measures:

    net income or loss (either in the aggregate or on a per share basis);

    operating profit;

    EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA;

    growth or rate of growth in cash flow;

    cash flow provided by operations (either in the aggregate or on a per share basis);

    gross revenues;

    return measures (including return on assets, equity or sales);

    growth or rate of growth in return measures;

    share price (including growth measures and total stockholder return or attainment by the shares of a specified value for a specified period of time); or

    strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue, market share, market penetration, geographic business expansion goals, goals relating to the introduction of any new products or services, objectively identified project milestones and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures.

        Change in control.    Except as otherwise set forth in an award agreement, in the event of a change in control (as defined in the plan) of our company, all awards will become vested and all restrictions will lapse, as applicable, except to the extent that the acquiring or surviving entity assumes the outstanding awards. Furthermore, no payment of an award shall be accelerated to the extent that the payment would violate Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The committee may, in order to maintain a grantee's rights in the event of any change in control, (1) make any adjustments to an outstanding award to reflect the change in control or (2) cause the acquiring or surviving entity to assume or substitute rights with respect to an outstanding award. Furthermore, the committee may cancel any outstanding unexercised options or SARs (whether or not vested) that have an exercise price or strike price, as applicable, that is greater than the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of the change in control. Under the plan, the committee will also have the ability to cash out any options or SARs (whether or not vested) that have an exercise price or strike price, as applicable, that is less than the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of the change in control.

        Termination of employment.    With respect to stock options and SARs granted pursuant to an award agreement, in the event of a grantee's termination of employment or service for any reason other than

62



cause, retirement, disability or death, grantee's stock options or SARs (to the extent exercisable at the time of termination) generally will remain exercisable until 60 days after termination and thereafter will be cancelled and forfeited to us. In the event of a grantee's termination of employment or service due to retirement, disability or death, grantee's stock options or SARs (to the extent exercisable at the time of termination) generally will remain exercisable until one year after termination and thereafter will be cancelled and forfeited to us. In the event of a grantee's termination of employment or service for cause, the grantee's outstanding stock options or SARs will immediately be cancelled and forfeited to us.

        Unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise, (1) with respect to restricted stock, in the event of a grantee's termination of employment or service for any reason other than death or disability, all unvested shares will be forfeited to us, (2) upon termination because of death or disability, all unvested shares of restricted stock will immediately vest and (3) all performance units and unvested restricted stock units will be forfeited upon termination for any reason.

        Amendment and termination.    Unless the plan is earlier terminated by our board of directors, the plan will automatically terminate on            . Awards granted before the termination of the plan may extend beyond that date in accordance with their terms. The committee is permitted to amend the plan or the terms and conditions of outstanding awards, including to extend the exercise period and accelerate the vesting schedule of the awards, but no action may adversely affect the rights of any participant with respect to outstanding awards without the applicable grantee's written consent and no action or amendment may violate rules under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the form and timing of payment of deferred compensation. Stockholder approval of any amendment will be obtained if required to comply with applicable law or the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

        Transferability.    Unless otherwise determined by the committee, awards granted under the plan are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The committee will have sole discretion to permit the transfer of an award to certain family members specified in the plan.

        Adjustments.    In the event a stock dividend, stock split, reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or other similar event affects shares such that the committee determines an adjustment to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the plan, the committee will (among other actions and subject to certain exceptions) adjust the number and type of shares available under the plan, the number and type of shares subject to outstanding awards and the exercise price of outstanding stock options and other awards.

        Registration.    We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the plan.

2005 Equity Incentive Plan

        On April 12, 2005, we adopted our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. As of October 3, 2007, there were outstanding under the plan: (1) stock awards for 551,486 shares of our common stock and (2) options to purchase a total of 487,186 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $5.56 per share. As of October 3, 2007, there were 11,327 shares of our common stock reserved for future grant or issuance under the 2005 plan. We do not intend to issue any more securities under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, other than shares of common stock upon exercise of outstanding options.

        The stock options that are outstanding under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan generally provide for vesting over four years, with 25% of the shares underlying the options vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the vesting commencement date. The vesting commencement date is generally on or shortly before the grant date of the option. However, in some cases the options are fully vested at grant. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the plan), all outstanding awards under the plan will immediately vest and all restrictions will lapse, except to the extent that the successor

63



company assumes the outstanding awards. Furthermore, upon a change of control, our board of directors will have the authority to cancel any outstanding stock option awards, in which case the option holder would be entitled to receive the amount, if any, by which the acquisition price of our common stock multiplied by the number of shares of common stock subject to the holder's option exceeds the aggregate exercise price for the option. Pursuant to their grant agreements, the stock options granted to Messrs. Barr and Otis under the plan, to the extent they are still unvested, will vest in full immediately upon a change of control.

        The restricted stock awards that are outstanding under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan are vested, except that 52,500 shares of a stock award to Mr. Otis are unvested. Half of these unvested shares will vest on April 12, 2008 and the other half will vest on April 12, 2009, unless earlier upon a change of control. In addition, on October 3, 2007, we issued to each of Mr. Barr, our President and Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Otis, our Executive Vice President and General Counsel, a restricted stock award for 100,000 shares of our common stock under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. These restricted stock awards vest over three years, with one-third of the shares vesting on March 15, 2009, March 15, 2010 and March 15, 2011, except that all shares subject to these awards will vest in full upon a change in control.

Compensation of Directors

        During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and through the date of this prospectus, our only directors were Joseph Fox, Avi Fox and Joseph Barr, all of whom are officers and employees. We have never made any equity or non-equity awards or paid any other compensation to any of these directors, except for the equity awards and other compensation provided to them as our officers and employees.

        We intend to issue stock options exercisable for 5,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to the initial public offering price, to each of our non-employee directors under our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. These options will vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant and expire in ten years.

        Effective upon consummation of this offering, each non-employee director will be paid an annual retainer of $18,000 for his or her services as a director, and $300 for each board meeting attended. In addition, the chairperson of our audit committee upon designation as chairperson will receive an additional option to purchase 1,000 shares of our common stock. Thereafter, upon each anniversary of his or her designation as chairperson of the audit committee, the chairperson will receive an option to purchase 1,000 shares of our common stock; provided, that the chairperson attended a minimum of 75% of the audit committee meetings held in the prior year. We intend to grant to each non-employee director nonqualified stock options exercisable for 5,000 shares of common stock, on the date of each annual stockholders' meeting if such director is elected at such meeting to serve as a non-employee director or continues to serve as a non-employee director. Each non-employee director appointed other than at the annual stockholders' meeting will be granted a pro rata amount of such equity awards. The restricted stock and/or nonqualified stock options granted to non-employee directors will vest in four annual installments commencing on the first anniversary date. All options granted to non-employee directors will terminate ten years after the grant date. All directors will also be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending board and board committee meetings and associated with board or board committee responsibilities. Our director compensation program is subject to change by our board of directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Loan from AFJ Capital

        At December 31, 2006, we had outstanding indebtedness of $729,008 to AFJ Capital, our majority stockholder. This indebtedness was related to an unsecured, noninterest bearing loan to us from AFJ Capital, which is owned and controlled by Joseph Fox, our Chief Executive Officer, and Avi Fox, our Chairman. The accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes $9,508 of imputed interest expense on this loan, based on the 8.25% rate of interest paid on our bank lines of credit in 2006. This same amount was credited to stockholders' equity as a capital contribution from AFJ Capital. We repaid $529,008 of the principal outstanding under this loan as of March 31, 2007 and repaid the remaining $200,000 in May 2007.

Stockholder Agreements

        We have entered into stockholder agreements with Joseph Barr, Stephen Otis, Ari Blumofe, and Gregg Shanberg and Ellen Shanberg. To our knowledge, these stockholders beneficially own 401,500, 319,225, 430,000 and 378,000 shares of our common stock, respectively.

        Each of these stockholder agreements applies to all shares of our common stock owned at any time by these stockholders or their transferees. They include restrictions on transfer that continue to apply after an initial public offering. For Messrs. Barr and Otis, during the period starting on our initial public offering and ending on the first anniversary of the initial public offering, they (and their transferees) may not sell a percentage of their respective shares of common stock that is more than twice the percentage of our common stock sold by AFJ Capital, LLC during that period. During the period starting on the day after the first anniversary of our initial public offering and ending on the second anniversary of the initial public offering, they (and their transferees) may not sell a percentage of their respective shares of common stock that is more than three times the percentage of our common stock sold by AFJ Capital during that period. During the period starting on the day after the second anniversary of our initial public offering and ending 30 months after the initial public offering, they (and their transferees) may not sell a percentage of their respective shares of common stock that is more than four times the percentage of our common stock sold by AFJ Capital during that period. Ari Blumofe and Gregg and Ellen Shanberg (including each of their respective transferees), during the period beginning on our initial public offering and ending on the fifth anniversary with respect to Ari Blumofe, and the fourth anniversary with respect to Gregg and Ellen Shanberg, of such offering, may not sell a percentage of their respective shares of our common stock that is greater than the percentage of our common stock sold by AFJ Capital during such period.

Warrant to AFJ Capital

        On January 26, 2007, AFJ Capital purchased 20 shares of the Series A senior convertible preferred stock for $500,000. On this same date, we issued to AFJ Capital, for $50 cash consideration, a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock for a total exercise price of $50,000. This warrant was offered to any investor who purchased at least $300,000 of the Series A senior convertible preferred stock and allowed the investor to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 10% of the number of such shares into which the Series A senior convertible preferred stock purchased are initially convertible. AFJ Capital was the only investor who purchased at least $300,000 of our Series A senior convertible preferred stock in this offering.

Guarantees of Indebtedness

        We have two working capital lines of credit with Cole Taylor Bank, N.A., one for $800,000 and the other for $100,000. These lines are personally guaranteed by Avi Fox and Joseph Barr, respectively. Avi Fox is our Chairman and Joseph Barr is our President and Chief Financial Officer. Both lines of credit

67



earn interest at the bank's prime rate, payable monthly, which rate was 8.25% as of June 30, 2007, and expire on July 14, 2008. As of October 3, 2007, the outstanding principal under these lines was $625,000 and $75,000, respectively.

Bridge Note Offering and Exchange

        In July 2007, we issued and sold a $1.0 million principal amount convertible bridge note and warrants to Glen Taylor, who owns more than 5% of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock which votes on an as converted basis with our common stock and will convert into shares of common stock prior to the consummation of this offering. We anticipate that the convertible bridge note and warrants held by Mr. Taylor will be exchanged for a $1.0 million principal amount nonconvertible bridge note prior to the consummation of this offering.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

        Prior to the closing of this offering, we will adopt a written policy that requires any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or stockholders owning at least 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any of their immediate family members or any entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed or is a general partner or principal had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, to be submitted to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. In the event that a proposed transaction with a related person involves an amount that is less than $120,000, the transaction will be subject to the review and approval of our General Counsel (or our Chief Financial Officer in the event our General Counsel, an immediate family member of the General Counsel, or an entity in which our General Counsel or a member of his immediate family is employed or is a general partner or principal is a party to such transaction). If the transaction is approved by our General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer, such officer will report the material terms of the transaction to our audit committee at its next meeting. The policy will provide for periodic monitoring of pending and ongoing transactions. In approving or rejecting the proposed transaction, our audit committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available to it, including, (1) the impact on a director's independence if the related person is a director or his or her family member or related entity, (2) the material terms of the proposed transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of the transaction, (3) the benefits to us, (4) the availability of other sources for comparable services or products (if applicable), and (5) an assessment of whether the proposed transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to an unrelated third party or to our employees generally. Our audit committee will approve only those transactions that the committee determines to be, in light of known circumstances, in, or not inconsistent with, our best interests and the best interest of our stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General Matters

        As of October 3, 2007, our authorized capital stock consisted of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 200 shares were designated as Series A senior convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001. As of October 3, 2007, we had outstanding 4,799,503 shares of common stock and 107 shares of Series A senior convertible preferred stock. As of October 3, 2007, we had 167 stockholders of record.

        Upon the closing of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 8,334,503 of which will be outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, none of which will be outstanding.

        The following summary describes the material provisions of our capital stock. We urge you to read our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which are included as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. When this prospectus refers to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, it is referring to them as they will be amended upon the closing of this offering.

        Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the board of directors and which may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change in control of our company unless the takeover or change in control is approved by our board of directors.

        These provisions include elimination of stockholder action by written consents, elimination of the ability of stockholders to call special meetings and advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals.

Common Stock

    Voting rights.

        Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election.

    Dividends.

        The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

    Other rights.

        In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference, if any, of any then outstanding preferred stock. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights and have no subscription, redemption or conversion privileges. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and all shares of common stock issued by us in the offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which our board of directors may designate and that we issue in the future.

69


Preferred Stock

        Our board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series, with such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as determined by our board of directors, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. We believe that the board of directors' authority to set the terms of, and our ability to issue, preferred stock will provide flexibility in connection with possible financing transactions in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, however, could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments or payments upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company.

Registration Rights

        During the period from January 26, 2007 to April 10, 2007, we issued to Northland Securities, Inc. warrants to purchase an aggregate of 51,500 shares of our common stock for a total exercise price of $257,500. These warrants were part of the placement fee for the private placement of our Series A senior convertible preferred stock. Also, on January 29, 2007, we issued to AFJ Capital, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chairman, a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 10,000 shares of our common stock for a total exercise price of $50,000. Each of these warrants includes a piggyback registration right, which provides that, if at any time during the nine-year period after the date of the respective warrants, we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, or qualify for a public distribution under Regulation A under the Securities Act, other than for an initial public offering, then the holders of these warrants are entitled to include in the registration or distribution shares acquired upon exercise of the warrants. However, if the registration or distribution is underwritten and in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriter the number of shares requested to be included in the registration or distribution is greater than can be accommodated without adversely affecting the offering, then the number of such shares may be reduced proportionally, including to zero.

        Prior to the closing of this offering, we expect that Joseph Fox will enter into an employment agreement with us. This agreement provides that if, during the period starting 30 days after a change of control and ending two years after a change of control, his employment is terminated by us without cause or by him for good reason, then we will use our reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC within 30 days after such termination a registration statement for all shares beneficially owned by him at the time of such termination. The agreement also provides that we will use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration to become effective and to maintain the continuous effectiveness of such registration statement until 90 days after he is no longer, in the opinion of our counsel, an affiliate of us for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We expect that, prior to the closing of this offering, Avi Fox will also enter into an employment agreement with us, which includes the same registration right.

        In July 2007, we sold a convertible bridge note with a principal amount of $1,000,000 in a private placement. We issued to Northland Securities a warrant for serving as the placement agent for the private placement. Each of the note and warrant includes piggyback registration rights, which provide that, if we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, other than for an initial public offering or certain other registrations, then the holders of the note and warrant are entitled to include in the registration or distribution shares acquired upon exercise of the warrant or conversion of the note. This registration right terminates upon the earlier of July 25, 2016 or the time at which all registrable securities held by a holder can be sold in any three-month period in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act. We expect that the convertible bridge note and warrants will be forfeited and exchanged for a $1.0 million nonconvertible bridge note prior to the consummation of this offering.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation, Our Bylaws and Delaware Law

    Authorized but unissued shares.

        The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and our preferred stock will be available for future issuance without any further vote or action by our stockholders. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans.

        The existence of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and our preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control over us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer or merger, or otherwise.

    Stockholder action; advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals.

        Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that, following the first date on which Joseph Fox, Avi Fox, Joseph Barr, Stephen Otis, Ari Blumofe, Marshall Fox, Joel Abrams, Greg and Ellen Shanberg and related trusts and other entities have voting control over less than 40% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders will have to be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by a consent in writing. Our certificate of incorporation also requires that special meetings of stockholders be called only by our board of directors, our Chairman, our Chief Executive Officer or our President. In addition, our bylaws generally provide that candidates for director may be nominated and other business brought before an annual meeting only by the board of directors or by a stockholder who gives written notice, including certain information, to us no later than 90 days and not earlier than 150 days, prior to the first anniversary of the date on which we first mailed our proxy materials for the preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders. These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control of our management, which could depress the market price of our common stock.

    Number, election and removal of the board of directors.

        Upon the closing of the offering, our board of directors will consist of seven directors. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes a board of directors consisting of at least five, but no more than eleven, members, with the number of directors to be fixed from time to time by our board of directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class shall consist of one-third of the directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring. As a result, a portion of our board of directors will be elected each year. The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control of our company. Between stockholder meetings, directors may be removed by our stockholders only for cause, and the board of directors may appoint new directors to fill vacancies or newly created directorships. These provisions may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent directors and from simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. Consequently, the existence of these provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers.

    Delaware anti-takeover law.

        Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover provision, will apply to us. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless the "business combination" or the transaction in which the

71


person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of our voting stock.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

        Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws generally eliminate the personal liability of our directors for breaches of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions and for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation requires us to indemnify our directors, and allows us to indemnify our officers, employees and agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

        We intend to enter into indemnity agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, which will provide for mandatory indemnification of an executive officer or a director made party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was an executive officer or a director of ours, if the executive officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner the executive officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, the executive officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. These agreements will also obligate us to advance expenses to an executive officer or a director who may have a right to be indemnified by us; provided, that the executive officer or director will repay advanced expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. Our executive officers and directors will also be entitled to indemnification and indemnification for expenses incurred as a result of acting at our request as a director, an officer or an agent of an employee benefit plan or other partnership, corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise owned or controlled by us.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the above statutory provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

        The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and its telephone number is (212) 509-4000.

Listing

        We intend to list our common stock on our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "IGGY."

72



SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

        The sale of a substantial amount of our common stock in the public market after this offering could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock. Furthermore, because the shares of our common stock outstanding prior to the consummation of this offering will be subject to the contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below, a substantial amount of common stock could be sold in the public market after these restrictions lapse, which could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

        Upon completion of this offering, we expect to have outstanding an aggregate of 8,334,503 shares of our common stock, assuming no exercise of outstanding options and warrants. Of these shares, all of the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the shares are purchased by "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Any shares purchased by an affiliate may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, including an exemption under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The remaining shares of common stock held by existing stockholders are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act. These rules are summarized below.

        Upon the expiration of the lock-up agreements described below 180 days after the date of this prospectus, and subject to the provisions of Rule 144, 5,229,503 restricted shares will be available for sale in the public market. The sale of these restricted securities is subject, in the case of shares held by affiliates, to the volume restrictions contained in Rule 144.

Lock-Up Agreements

        We, our directors and certain of our principal stockholders are subject to lock-up agreements with the underwriters. Under these agreements, subject to limited exceptions, we and each of our directors and certain of our principal stockholders have agreed to certain restrictions on our ability to sell 2,334,270 shares of our common stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. We have agreed not to directly or indirectly offer for sale, sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise issue or dispose of, any shares of common stock, options or warrants to acquire shares of common stock, or any related security or instrument, without the prior written consent of Northland Securities, Inc. These agreements provide exceptions for (i) sales to underwriters pursuant to the underwriting agreement, (ii) our sales in connection with the exercise of options granted and the granting of options to purchase shares of our common stock under our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and (iii) certain other exceptions.

        Our executive officers are subject to lock-up agreements with the underwriters. Under these agreements, they have agreed to certain restrictions on their ability to sell 2,895,233 shares of our common stock for a period of 360 days after the date of this prospectus. These agreements provide for exceptions for, among other things, sales of shares of common stock made (i) with the prior written consent of either of the managing underwriters, or (ii) after 180 days from the date of this prospectus, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock.

Rule 144

        In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year from the later of the date those shares of common stock were originally acquired in a private transaction

73



from us or from an affiliate of ours would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

    one percent of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately 83,345 shares of common stock immediately after this offering; or

    the average weekly trading volume of the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale of any shares of common stock.

        Sales of shares of common stock under Rule 144 may also be subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and will be subject to the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 144(k)

        Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years from the later of the date those shares of common stock were originally acquired in a private transaction from us or from an affiliate of ours, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell those shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Therefore, unless otherwise restricted pursuant to the lock-up agreements or otherwise, those shares may be sold immediately upon the completion of this offering.

Rule 701

        In general, under Rule 701 as currently in effect, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who purchased shares from us in connection with a qualified compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the effective date of this offering is eligible to resell such shares 90 days after the effective date of this offering in reliance on Rule 144. Securities issued in reliance on Rule 701 may, subject to the contractual restrictions described above, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, be sold by persons other than "affiliates," as defined in Rule 144, subject only to the manner of sale provisions of Rule 144, and by "affiliates" under Rule 144 without compliance with its minimum holding requirement.

Proposed Amendments to Rule 144

        The SEC has recently proposed a number of amendments to Rule 144 which, if adopted, would generally shorten from one year to six months the holding period for restricted securities and substantially reduce the restrictions (including the volume limitations) on the resale of securities by non-affiliates. These amendments would also shorten the Rule 144(k) holding period to one year. To the extent these proposed amendments are adopted by the SEC in the near future, a substantial amount of our common stock would be available for sale in the public market earlier than as currently permitted, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Equity Incentive Plans

        We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act covering 2,538,672 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options under our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and reserved for issuance under our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. This registration statement is expected to be filed as soon as practicable after the date of this prospectus. Shares issued upon the exercise of stock options after the effective date of this registration statement will be eligible for resale in the public market without restriction, subject to Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates and the lock-up agreements described above.

Registration Rights

        Following this offering, some of our stockholders will, under some circumstances, have the right to require us to register their shares for future sale. See "Description of Capital Stock—Registration Rights."

UNDERWRITING

        The underwriters named below have agreed to buy, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, the number of shares listed opposite their names below. The underwriters are committed to purchase and pay for all of the shares if any are purchased.

Underwriters
  Number of Shares
Northland Securities, Inc.    
Bathgate Capital Partners, LLC    
        
   
  Total   3,000,000

        The underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the shares being offered, if any are taken, other than the shares covered by the over-allotment described below unless and until that option is exercised.

        The underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer the shares to the public at $5.50 per share. The underwriters propose to offer the shares to certain dealers at the same price less a concession of not more than $                  per share. The underwriters may allow and the dealers may reallow a concession of not more than $                  per share on sales to certain other brokers and dealers. After the offering, these figures may be changed by the underwriters.

        We have granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional                   shares of common stock from us at the same price to the public, and with the same underwriting discount, as set forth in the paragraph above. The underwriters may exercise this option any time during the 45-day period after the date of this prospectus, but only to cover over-allotments, if any. To the extent the underwriters exercise the option, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of the additional shares as it was obligated to purchase initially under the underwriting agreement.

        The following table shows the underwriting fees to be paid to the underwriters in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the over-allotment option.

 
  No Exercise
  Full Exercise
Per share   $     $  
Total   $     $  

        We have also agreed to pay the underwriters a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross proceeds of this offering. As additional compensation, we have agreed to issue to the underwriters warrants to purchase up to 10% of the shares of our common stock sold in this offering. The underwriters' warrants are not exercisable during the first      days after the date of the final prospectus and thereafter are exercisable at a price per share equal to $                  (110% of the offering price) for up to five years from the closing of the offering. The underwriters' warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions and certain registration rights that require us to register (not in connection with this offering) the shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of the warrants. The underwriters' warrants also include a cashless exercise provision entitling the holder to convert the underwriters' warrants into shares of our common stock without the payment in cash of the exercise price. The underwriters' warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated for a period of one year from the date of the final prospectus, except to officers or partners of the underwriters and members of the selling group or their officers or partners.

75



        We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

        We and each of our directors, executive officers and certain principal stockholders have agreed to certain restrictions on our ability to sell additional shares of our common stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. We have agreed not to directly or indirectly offer for sale, sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise issue or dispose of, any shares of common stock, options or warrants to acquire shares of common stock, or any related security or instrument, without the prior written consent of Northland Securities, Inc. The agreements provide exceptions for (i) sales to underwriters pursuant to the underwriting agreement, (ii) our sales in connection with the exercise of options granted and the granting of options to purchase shares of our common stock under our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and (iii) certain other transfers.

        In accordance with NASD rules, all of our equity securities acquired by the underwriters and persons related to the underwriters during the 180-day period prior to the initial filing of our registration statement with the SEC in connection with this offering, or acquired after that date and deemed to be underwriting compensation by NASD rules, may not be sold during this offering, and no interest in those securities may be transferred or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of those securities for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date or commencement of sales of this offering. These restrictions are subject to certain exceptions, including for transfers by operation of law, transfers to the underwriters and their officers and transfers that remain subject to the restrictions described above for the remainder of the 180-day period (provided the aggregate amount of our securities held by the underwriter and persons related to the underwriter do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered). For a description of securities acquired by the underwriters and persons related to the underwriters during the 180-day period prior to the initial filing of our registration statement with the SEC, see "Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities" in the registration statement on Form S-1 filed with SEC.

        Prior to the offering, there has been no established trading market for the common stock. The initial public offering price for the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus was negotiated by us and the underwriters. The factors considered in determining the initial public offering price include the history of and the prospects for the industry in which we compete, our past and present operations, our historical results of operations, our prospects for future earnings, the recent market prices of securities of generally comparable companies and the general condition of the securities markets at the time of the offering and other relevant factors. There can be no assurance that the initial public offering price of the common stock will correspond to the price at which the common stock will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active public market for the common stock will develop and continue after this offering.

        To facilitate the offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock during and after the offering. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot or otherwise create a short position in the common stock for their own account by selling more shares of common stock than have been sold to them by us. The underwriters may elect to cover any such short position by purchasing shares of common stock in the open market or by exercising the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. In addition, the underwriters may stabilize or maintain the price of the common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares of common stock in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers participating in the offering are reclaimed if shares of common stock previously distributed in the offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise

76



prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also effect the price of the common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of the common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on the NASDAQ Capital Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

        In connection with this offering, some underwriters (and selling group members) may also engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the NASDAQ Capital Market limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC limits the amount of net purchases that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

        From time to time, the underwriters have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking, and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us for which they have received, and expect to receive, fees and commissions. Northland Securities served as placement agent in a private placement of our Series A senior convertible preferred stock and warrants from November 2006 to April 2007, for which it received customary compensation and warrants to purchase 51,500 shares of our common stock with an aggregate exercise price of $257,500. Northland Securities served as placement agent in a private placement of our common stock from June 2007 to July 2007, for which it received customary compensation and warrants to purchase 4,440 shares of our common stock with an aggregate exercise price of $33,300. In each instance, the exercise price of the warrants is the same as the exercise price of the warrants sold in that offering or the price of the common stock sold in that offering. Northland Securities also served as placement agent with respect to an additional financing transaction in July 2007, for which it received customary cash compensation.

        Qualified Independent Underwriter. Because Northland Securities and its associated persons, parent and affiliates in the aggregate beneficially own 10% or more of our preferred equity, this offering is being conducted in compliance with National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Rule 2710(c). In accordance with this rule, the initial public offering price can be no higher than that recommended by a "qualified independent underwriter" meeting certain standards. Bathgate Capital Partners, LLC has assumed the responsibilities of acting as a qualified independent underwriter and has recommended a public offering price for our common stock in compliance with the requirements of the NASD Rules. Bathgate Capital Partners, LLC, in its role as qualified independent underwriter, has performed due diligence investigations and reviewed and participated in the preparation of this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Bathgate Capital Partners, LLC will receive no compensation for acting in this capacity; however, we have agreed to indemnify Bathgate Capital Partners, LLC for acting as a qualified independent underwriter against specified liabilities under the Securities Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

        When the actions referred to in the final paragraph of Note 19 of the notes to consolidated financial statements have been consummated, we will be in a position to render the following report.

/s/ KPMG LLP
Chicago, Illinois
October 5, 2007

The Board of Directors
Iggys House, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Iggys House, Inc. (formerly BuySide, Inc.) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Iggys House, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 18. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

which is as of October      , 2007

IGGYS HOUSE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Organization and Business

        Iggys House, Inc. (formerly BuySide, Inc.) and subsidiaries (the Company) is an Internet-based real estate brokerage firm incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 11, 2005. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the Company conducts business through two wholly owned operating subsidiaries, BuySide Realty, Inc. (incorporated in the state of Illinois on April 14, 2005) and BuySide Realty, Inc. (incorporated in the State of California on May 6, 2005). On March 7, 2007, the Company changed its name from BuySide, Inc. to Iggys House, Inc. Refer to note 19 for a description of the launch of IggysHouse.com and Iggys House Realty, Inc. in March 2007.

        The Company provides consumers access to residential real estate Multiple Listing Services, or MLS, data and online offer management technology through its website, as well as access to licensed real estate agents to assist with home purchase transactions. The Company also pays a significant percentage of its commission to its buyer clients at the close of a transaction.

        In April 2006, the Company commenced operations when it launched its website, www.BuySideRealty.com. At the time of launch, the Company ceased to be a development-stage company.

        The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to growing technology-based companies, including technological change, dependence on principal products, services and technology, the activities of competitors and its limited operating history. See note 18.

        The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Iggys House, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in a company's financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates in one segment.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

    a.
    Interim Financial Data

              The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations as of such date and for such periods. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

    b.
    Use of Estimates

              The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at

F-7


      the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

    c.
    Cash and Cash Equivalents

              The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    d.
    Revenue Recognition

              The Company derives the majority of its revenues from real estate commissions earned as agents for buyers in residential real estate transactions. The Company recognizes real estate commission revenues upon the closing of a transaction, net of any commissions shared with the buyer client, commission discount, or transaction fee adjustment, as evidenced by the closure of the escrow or similar account and the transfer of these funds to all appropriate parties. The Company recognizes marketing fee revenues from its other business relationships as the fees are earned from the other party, typically on a monthly fee basis. The Company recognizes product sale revenues as the products are shipped to the customers. Revenues are recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and the transaction has been completed.

    e.
    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

              In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and capitalized software, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

    f.
    Property and Equipment

              Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from two to five years. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the useful lives of the assets or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

    g.
    Product Development

              The Company accounts for its website and internal use software development costs in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-2, Accounting for Website Development Costs (EITF 00-2), and AICPA Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Accordingly, certain costs to develop the Company's websites and internal use software have been capitalized and are being amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets.

              In connection with the development of the BuySideRealty.com website, during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, and the year ended December 31,

F-8



      2006, the Company incurred costs of $174,389 and $593,819, respectively. Of these amounts, $88,760 and $143,930, respectively, were incurred in the application and infrastructure development stage and were capitalizable in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-2. However, the Company expensed such amounts as incurred as the estimated net cash flows of the asset over the estimated useful life did not support their recoverability, based on impairment testing pursuant to SFAS No. 144.

              In connection with the development of the Iggyshouse.com website, during the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred costs of $174,535. The Company expensed such amounts as incurred as the majority of such costs were incurred in the planning stage and were not capitalizable in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-2.

              In connection with the development of the IggysHouse.com website, during the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred costs of $562,000. Of this amount, $267,468 was incurred in the application and infrastructure development stage and was capitalizable in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-2. The Company capitalized such amounts as the estimated net cash flows of the asset over its estimated useful life supported its recoverability. The capitalized amounts are being amortized over an estimated useful life of two years. Amortization expense is included in technology development expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    h.
    Advertising Costs

              The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $34,986 and $476,316 for the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively, and $285,088 and $465,280 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Such expense is included in marketing and advertising expense.

    i.
    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

              The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and payable to related party and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of senior convertible bridge notes payable and bank lines of credit approximates fair value.

    j.
    Income Taxes

              Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under current enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, as the case may be, for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

F-9


    k.
    Stock-Based Compensation

    (i)
    Employees

                Prior to 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value method as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and related interpretations, in accounting for stock options granted under its 2005 equity incentive plan. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation cost is recognized if the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options was equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations prior to 2006 on stock options granted to employees, since all options granted under the Company's stock option plan had an exercise price equal to, or greater than, the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.

                Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (Statement 123(R)). This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123) and supersedes APB No. 25. Statement 123(R) requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award. This statement was adopted using the prospective method of application, which requires the Company to recognize compensation cost on a prospective basis. Therefore, prior years' financial statements have not been restated. Under this method, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for awards granted, modified or cancelled subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

                Stock-based compensation cost that has been included in the net loss amounted to $235,363 for the year ended December 31, 2006. If the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123(R) during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the stock-based compensation cost would not have been significant.

      (ii)
      Non-employees

                The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.

                Non-employee stock-based compensation cost that has been included in the net loss amounted to $71,200 and $222,363 for the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

                The accounting for and disclosure of employee and non-employee equity compensation instruments, primarily common stock options and common stock warrants, requires judgment by management on a number of assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying instrument, estimated lives of the outstanding instruments, and the instrument's volatility. Changes in key assumptions will impact the valuation of these

F-10



        instruments. Because there has been no public market for the Company's stock, the Company's board of directors determined the fair value of the Company's common and preferred stock based on several factors, including, but not limited to, the Company's operating and financial performance and the price at which the Company's stock was sold in arms-length private sales.

    l.
    Loss Per Share

              The Company calculates basic earnings (loss) per share based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Since the Company recorded a net loss for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

              Had the Company reported net income for any of the periods from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, the weighted average number of shares outstanding would have potentially been diluted by the following common equivalent securities:

        The valuation allowance increased $462,248 during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005 and $2,051,015 during the year ended December 31, 2006.

        The tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 are as follows:

Deferred tax assets:              
Net operating loss   $   $ 1,526,590

        During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred additional net losses which generated additional net operating loss carryforwards. The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has available for federal and state tax purposes, net operating loss carryforwards aggregating approximately $3,230,000 and $570,000, respectively, that begin to expire in 2026 and 2011, respectively.

        In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because it is not currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased.

        On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement

F-14



recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant impact on the Company's accounting for or disclosure of income taxes.

(11) Common and Preferred Stock

    a.
    Initial Capitalization

              On April 11, 2005, BuySide, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware. The Company had 110,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. During 2006, the Company designated 200 shares of preferred stock as Series A senior convertible preferred stock.

    b.
    Stock Dividend

              On October 7, 2005, the Company paid a stock dividend. The dividend was paid at a ratio of 1.5 shares for every 1 share outstanding. All share and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock dividend.

    c.
    Restricted Common Stock

              During the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the Company sold 885,000 restricted shares of common stock for proceeds of $3,450. Also during that period, 450,000 restricted shares of common stock were forfeited and retired. On December 30, 2005, 45,000 restricted shares of common stock were repurchased for $150 and retired. In August 2006, 60,000 shares were repurchased for $200 and retired.

    d.
    Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock

              From January 26, 2007 through June 30, 2007, the Company sold 105 shares of a new Series A senior convertible preferred stock (the Senior Preferred Stock) in a private placement for $2,367,500. In addition, as consideration for $50,000 that would otherwise have been payable to the placement agent as part of its fee, the Company issued two shares of Series A preferred stock to the placement agent and one of its employees. The holders of the Senior Preferred Stock have certain rights and preferences senior to those of the Company's common stockholders, principally in the event of liquidation, wherein holders are entitled to receive an amount equal to the original purchase price plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such stock. All of the Senior Preferred Stock automatically converts to common stock upon an initial public offering of the Company's common stock at a conversion ratio of 5,000 shares of common stock for each share of Senior Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits and the like). In addition, each holder of Senior Preferred Stock has the right at any time to convert the Senior Preferred Stock held by such holder into common stock at a conversion ratio of 5,000 shares of common stock for each share of Senior Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits and the like). Investors who purchased at least $300,000

F-15


      of Series A convertible preferred stock were issued a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 10% of the number of such shares into which the Series A senior convertible preferred stock were convertible into.

(12) Bank Lines of Credit

        The Company maintains two operating lines of credit with a commercial bank. As of December 31, 2006, there was outstanding principal indebtedness of $800,000 and $100,000 under these two lines. The Company's Chairman, Avi Fox, has personally guaranteed the $800,000 line and the Company's President, Joseph Barr, has personally guaranteed the $100,000 line. As of June 30, 2007, the principal balance on these lines were $625,000 and $75,000, respectively. Both lines of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate, payable monthly, which rate was 8.25% at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, the principal under the $800,000 line and the $100,000 line were due on August 14, 2007 and July 14, 2007, respectively. In June 2007, these lines were renewed with similar terms, except that both now expire on July 14, 2008.

(13) Senior Convertible Bridge Notes

        As of December 31, 2006, the Company had issued 10% Senior Convertible Bridge Notes (the Notes) in the total principal amount of $450,000. Notes with a total initial principal amount of $400,000 are payable at the earlier of (i) April 30, 2007 or (ii) 72 hours after the closing (the Closing) of a round of financing for the Company of at least $10 million. The remaining $50,000 principal amount of the Notes is payable at the earlier of (i) September 30, 2007 or (ii) 72 hours after the Closing. The Company has the right to prepay the Notes at any time. In January 2007, the Company issued additional Notes in the principal amount of $125,000, also payable at the earlier of (i) September 30, 2007 or (ii) 72 hours after the closing.

        Each of the Notes converts into shares of common stock at the Closing, unless the holder elects to have the entire Note paid off (such payment is due within 72 hours after the Closing). If a Note converts into common stock at the Closing, it converts into a number of shares of common stock equal to (i) the total amount of principal and interest then outstanding under the Note, divided by (ii) the price (the Institutional Price) per share of common stock indicated by the financing round that is being consummated at the Closing. However, for $50,000 out of the $450,000 principal amount of the Notes issued in 2006, as well as the Notes issued in January 2007, the Institutional Price is subject to a cap of $10.00 per share.

        In addition, the holder of each of these Notes is entitled upon conversion or redemption to receive warrants to purchase common stock (warrant shares) at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The number of warrant shares for each Note is equal to: (i) if the Note converts to common stock at the Closing, 0.1 times the initial principal amount; and (ii) if the Note is paid off, 0.25 times the initial principal amount of the Note. The Company recorded the Notes in the accompanying December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value, which totaled $293,018 at issuance. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued additional warrants in connection with the notes described above. The estimated fair value of such warrants was $43,209. The estimated fair value of the associated warrants is being accreted as interest expense over the term of the Notes and totaled $88,288 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $111,904 for the six months ended June 30,

F-16



2007. In the six months ended June 30, 2007, all of the Notes either converted into common stock or were paid in full, except with respect to $30,000 principal amount which was repaid in July 2007.

(14) Employee Stock-Based Compensation

        In 2005, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the Plan) pursuant to which the Company's Board of Directors may grant stock options to employees. The Plan authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 1,050,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock. Stock options are to be granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than 100% of the estimated fair value of the Company's stock at the date of grant. Stock options granted can have a maximum term of 10 years. Generally, stock options vest over four years whereby 25% of the total options granted vest upon each of the first four 12-month anniversaries of the grant date. Specific terms of each stock option agreement are to be determined by the Board of Directors.

        At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, there were 438,004 and 298,702 additional shares, respectively, available for the Company to grant under the Plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that used the weighted-average assumptions in the following table. The expected volatility is based on consideration of relevant factors such as the volatility assumptions of peer companies. The expected life of options granted during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007 is estimated by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

        The fair value of the stock options granted during the period from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as described above. The fair value of the common stock for options granted during this period was based on the price per share at which the Company sold shares of common stock to third parties in arm's length capital raising transactions.

(15) Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company also issued options and warrants to certain non-employees for services provided during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007.

        The weighted-average grant date fair value of options and warrants granted during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $1.70, $6.85 and $3.40, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options and warrants exercised during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $43,203 and $168,308, respectively. No options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

        The fair value of each option and warrant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 
  2005
  2006
  2007
Valuation assumptions:            
  Expected volatility   50%   50%   50%
  Risk-free interest rate   3.94–4.58%   4.36–5.14%   4.50–5.10%
  Expected life   10 years   10 years   10 years
  Expected dividend yield      

        The expected volatility is based on consideration of relevant factors such as the volatility assumptions of peer companies. The expected life of options granted during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2006 is the contractual term of the option. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

        The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award exercises.

        In addition to the options and warrants above, during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, 2,400 shares of common stock were issued to non-employees for services provided to the Company. The fair value of these shares, totaling $18,000, was expensed during the period from April 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005. During 2006, 6,000 shares of common stock were issued to non-employees for services provided to the Company. The fair value of these shares, totaling $46,000, was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2006.

(16) Employee Benefits

        On January 1, 2006, the Company established a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all of its employees. The participants may contribute up to 100% of their salary, subject to federal limitations. The Company made no contributions to this plan during the year ended December 31, 2006.

(17) Related-Party Transactions

        AFJ Capital, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company wholly owned by the Company's Chairman and its Chief Executive Officer, was the majority owner of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 and as of June 30, 2007. AFJ Capital sold furniture and miscellaneous office equipment to the Company in June 2005. The agreed-upon aggregate purchase price for the property was $30,000, which approximated fair market value at the date of purchase. The purchase price was paid in 10 equal monthly installments of $3,000, starting in June 2005.

F-20



        The Company had outstanding indebtedness of $729,008 to AFJ Capital at December 31, 2006. This loan is unsecured and noninterest bearing. The principal amount of this loan is due on demand. The accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes $9,508 of imputed interest expense on this loan, based on the 8.25% rate of interest paid on the Company's bank lines of credit in 2006. This same amount was credited to stockholders' equity at December 31, 2006 as a capital contribution from AFJ Capital. $529,008 of the loan was repaid to AFJ Capital as of March 31, 2007 and the remaining $200,000 was repaid in May 2007. A short-term receivable from AFJ Capital of $10,000 was included in other current assets at June 30, 2007.

        On January 26, 2007, AFJ Capital purchased 20 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock for $500,000. In connection with the purchase, AFJ Capital was issued a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock for a total exercise price of $50,000.

(18) Liquidity

        Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses to fund technology development, marketing and advertising, licensing, and other activities. The Company has financed its operations through private placements of equity capital, bank lines of credit, and loans from AFJ Capital. In order to continue to meet the projected cash requirements of the business, it will be necessary for the Company to obtain additional debt or equity financing, and management is in the process of seeking such financing, including through an initial public offering.

        The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including its rate of growth into new geographic markets, level of investment in technology, and customer acquisition initiatives. Although it is currently not a party to any agreement or letter of intent with respect to investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, products or technologies, the Company may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could require it to seek additional equity or debt financing. The Company's ability to secure short-term and long-term financing in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including its future profitability, the quality of its short-term and long-term assets, its relative levels of debt and equity and the overall condition of the credit markets. In the event that additional financing is required, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to it, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when necessary or desired, its business, operations and results will likely suffer.

(19) Subsequent Events

        On March 22, 2007, the Company launched a free MLS listing service in 20 states and a free self-publishing website for home sellers throughout the U.S. This service is called Iggys House and the new website is www.IggysHouse.com. On May 18, 2007, the Company launched its mortgage brokerage services to consumers in the state of California under the name BuySide Mortgage. These mortgage services are initially being marketed primarily to the Company's existing real estate customers.

        In July 2007, the Company raised a total of $1,145,753 through the sale of shares of its common stock and raised an additional $1,000,000 through the sale of a convertible bridge note and warrants. In connection with this offering, the Company issued Northland Securities, the placement agent for this offering, a warrant to purchase an aggregate number of shares of its common stock calculated as $100,000 (10% of the principal amount of the note) divided by the lower of $7.50 (subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, reorganization or similar event) or 80% of the initial

F-21



public offering price, at an exercise price equal to the lower of $7.50 (subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, reorganization or similar event) or 80% of the initial public offering price. Prior to the consummation of this offering, the Company will exchange the convertible bridge note and related warrants for a $1.0 million nonconvertible bridge note, and the warrants issued to Northland Securities in the July 2007 placement will be forfeited.

        The shares of Series A convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering.

        On August 9, 2007 the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete an initial public offering of its common stock. As of June 30, 2007, costs related to the offering in the amount of $110,218 were deferred and are included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

        On October 3, 2007, the Company issued to two of its executive officers a restricted stock award for 100,000 shares of common stock each. These restricted stock awards vest over three years, with one third vesting on March 15, 2009, March 15, 2010 and March 15, 2011, except that they vest in full upon a change in control.

        On October     , 2007, concurrent with the effectiveness of the registration statement, the Company effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. All references to share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the split.

The registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification by the registrant of its directors and, at the registrant's election, officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The registrant intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers prior to consummation of this offering. These agreements will require the registrant, among other things, to indemnify such directors and executive officers against certain liabilities that will arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers and to advance expenses to them as they are incurred (provided that they shall repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that they are not entitled to indemnification).

        In addition, the registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the personal liability of directors of the registrant is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for willful or negligent conduct in paying dividends or repurchasing stock out of other than lawfully available funds, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

        The registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to the registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to

II-1



such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

        Under the terms of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters have agreed to indemnify, under certain conditions, the registrant, its directors, certain of its officers and persons who control the registrant within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Item 15.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

        During the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, the registrant has issued the following unregistered securities. The common stock amounts stated below give effect to the 1.5 for 1 forward stock split effected on October 7, 2005, and the 5 for 1 reverse stock split to be effected immediately prior to the closing of this offering.

        On April 11, 2005, the date of its formation, AFJ Capital, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by Joseph Fox, the registrant's Chief Executive Officer, and Avi Fox, the registrant's Chairman ("AFJ Capital"), purchased from the registrant an aggregate of 2,422,500 shares of its common stock for total cash consideration of $8,525.

At the direction of Joseph Fox and Avi Fox, 135,000 of these shares were transferred to certain other founding stockholders, each of whom had a prior long-term business relationship with Joseph Fox and Avi Fox.

        The Exhibits filed herewith are set forth on the Index to Exhibits filed as a part of this Registration Statement beginning on page II-7 hereof.

Item 17.    Undertakings

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer of controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of

II-5



appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1)   For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

        (2)   For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
