BROADCASTER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the records of Broadcaster, Inc., a California corporation, and Subsidiaries (“Broadcaster”, “we” or the “Company”) without audit. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2006 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, have been made. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessa rily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

Use of Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our condensed consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications have been made to the amounts reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to conform to the current quarter’s presentation. The amounts reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 present results of operations of the Software segment as discontinued operations due to the sale of Precision Design on June 9, 2006.

STOCK BASED AWARDS

On July 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense in the statement of operations for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R). Using the modified prospective transition method of adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company began recognizing compensation expense for stock-based awards granted or modified after June 30, 2006 and awards that were granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) but were still unvested at June 30, 2006. Under this method of implementation, no restatement of prior periods is required or has been made.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 related to stock options was $507,000. The estimated fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards, less expected forfeitures, is amortized over the awards’ vesting period on a straight-line basis. As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company’s loss before income taxes and net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were increased by $507,000. The implementation of SFAS 123(R) reduced basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.01 for the three months ended



7





September 30, 2006. The implementation of SFAS 123(R) did not have an impact on cash flows from operations during the three months ended September 30, 2006.

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statements of operations. Prior to July 1, 2006, the Company measured compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under APB 25 and related interpretations. For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, in accordance with APB 25, the Company recognized expense of $1,000 in its statements of operations for stock options granted to employees and directors that had an exercise price equal to the quoted market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of June 30, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Effective July 1, 2006, as new grants occur, our stock-based compensation expense will also include compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to June 30, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to ve st, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3 “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” This FSP provides a practical transition election related to the accounting for the tax effects of share-based payment awards to employees, as an alternative to the transition guidance for the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) in paragraph 81 of SFAS 123(R). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the APIC pool related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and statements of cash flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). The guidance in this FSP is effective after November 10, 2005. The Compan y may take up to one year from the later of adoption of SFAS 123(R) or the effective date of this FSP to evaluate its available transition alternatives and make its one-time election. The Company is currently evaluating the transition alternatives.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Sale of Precision Design

In June, 2006, we sold Precision Design, our legacy software business as part of our overall strategy to position the Company solely as an on-line business. We received a combination of $6.5 million in cash of which $0.5 million was deposited in an escrow to back our representations and warranties in the sale Agreement, and an interest free note of $1.5 million which was paid in full on July 3, 2006. Included in the assets sold were the TurboCad and DesignCAD product lines as well as other design and personal productivity titles.

Sale of Allume

On July 1, 2005, we sold 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Allume to Smith Micro Software, Inc. for $11 million cash and 397,547 unregistered shares of its common stock, having a market value (based on a 10 day trading average covering $4.40) of $1.75 million. A portion of the purchase price, including $1.25 million cash and shares of common stock having a closing date market value of $750,000 was deposited in an indemnity escrow to secure certain representations and warranties included in the stock purchase agreement. The loss on sale of Allume for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was approximately $843,000 .This amount does not include the cash or value of the Smith Micro common stock held in escrow at September 30, 2005 and released in subsequent periods. At September 30, 2006, an amount of $312,000 was still held in the indemnity escrow account. This amount is expected to be released by December  ;31, 2006. The gain on sale of Allume from the date of closing to September 30, 2006 was approximately $302,000, all of which was recognized in fiscal 2006.

2,499,000 has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually.

The following attributes of the combination of the WHL and Houseplans businesses were considered significant factors to the establishment of the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of goodwill:

WHL is the operator of the #2 Google ranked globalHouseplans.com website as well as the Canadian focused Weinmaster.com. WHL, one of the leading marketers of stock house plans in Canada, has operated its plans business in the United States and Canada for more than 25 years, and is one of the leading innovators in the market. In addition to more than 14,800 plans available to customers, which includes over 500 proprietary Weinmaster plans, WHL has an impressive array of content and tools to help homeowners and their builders economically build their dream homes. Potential operating synergies are anticipated to arise and are more likely to include sales growth from joint marketing programs, utilization of best practices developed in each organization, shared content and  reduced common product development costs and limited reductions in administrative costs.

AccessMedia Acquisition

On December 16, 2005, Broadcaster and AccessMedia entered into a definitive agreement whereby Broadcaster agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of AccessMedia. The acquisition was completed on June 1, 2006. Broadcaster accounted for the business combination as a purchase.

The calculation is based on the issuance of 29,000,000 shares of Broadcaster common stock to the shareholders of AccessMedia measured as of the date of the definitive merger agreement using a five-trading-day average price of Broadcaster’s common stock. We also issued 2,450,000 shares of our common stock to Baytree Capital Associates, LLC, which is controlled by a former AccessMedia shareholder. Baytree received 1,450,000 of the shares as a financial advisory fee and 1,000,000 shares for consulting services. The definitive merger agreement was announced on December 16, 2005.

The value of AccessMedia’s net tangible and intangible assets is based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of the completion of the business combination. The estimated fair value is independent of the preliminary values historically recorded on the books and records of AccessMedia.

$15,680,000 has been allocated to amortizable intangible assets with useful lives ranging from 10 to 30 years as follows: software – 10 years, domain names and content – 30 years.

The residual purchase price of $25,901,000 has been recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The agreement provides that 35 million additional shares may be earned and awarded to the current stockholders of AccessMedia. Any additional shares earned would be a future addition to goodwill.

AccessMedia’s acquired technology includes certain additional products with market opportunities. These opportunities were significant contributing factors to the establishment of the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of a significant amount of goodwill. In addition, the acquisition provides an experienced workforce, development of certain technology assets permitting the company to deliver content to consumers over the Internet, existing business knowledge and practice supporting the proposed products and services, marketing programs and a base level of customers.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and debt approximates carrying value due to the short maturity of such instruments.

6.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Software Development Costs and License Fees

Costs incurred in the initial design phase of software development are expensed as incurred in research and development. Once the point of technological feasibility is reached, direct production costs are capitalized in compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. We cease capitalizing computer software costs when the product is available for general release to customers. Costs associated with acquired completed software are capitalized.

We amortize capitalized software development costs and visual content license fees on a product-by-product basis. The amortization for each product is the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio of current gross revenues to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for the product or (b) 18, 36, or 60 months, depending on the product. We evaluate the net realizable value of each software product at each balance sheet date and record write-downs to net realizable value for any products for which the carrying value is in excess of the estimated net realizable value.



12





Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets other than goodwill represent Internet domain names, acquired customer lists and contracts, distribution rights and relationships, proprietary plans, trade names and trademarks. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, generally five to fifteen years.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We assess these assets for impairment based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows from these assets. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, a loss is recorded for the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the fair value. We did not recognize any impairment loss for long-lived assets for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

Goodwill

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, goodwill is assessed for impairment annually (in our first fiscal quarter) or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment. We had goodwill in the amount of $30.2 million and $30.2 million as of September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively, mainly related to the acquisition of AccessMedia. We have not recognized any impairment related to goodwill for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

EARNINGS PER SHARE – POTENTIALLY DILUTIVE SECURITIES

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon on exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the weighted average shares outstanding:

STOCK BASED AWARDS

The Company has two stock option plans, The 2004 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2004 Plan”) adopted during fiscal 2004 and the 1993 Incentive Option Plan adopted on June 30, 1993 (the “1993 Plan”). The purpose of the 2004 and the 1993 Plans was to further the growth and general prosperity of Broadcaster by enabling our employees to acquire our common stock, increasing their personal involvement in the Company and thereby enabling Broadcaster to attract and retain our employees.

Under existing federal tax laws, certain benefits are not applicable to stock options granted under plans adopted more than 10 years prior. In particular, options granted more than 10 years after adoption of the 1993 Plan are not eligible for incentive stock option treatment within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Broadcaster believes that the ability to grant incentive stock options to its employees is critically important. We hope to offer incentive compensation to such employees on par with those provided by our competition and others in the high-tech industry. In addition, tax laws and incentive compensation policies have changed since adoption of the 1993 Plan. As a result, our Board of Directors has adopted and our shareholders approved the 2004 Plan to permit Broadcaster to offer a wide range of incentives, including incentive and non-statutory stock options and stock purchase rights.

Stock options are granted at an exercise price equivalent to the closing fair market value on the date of grant. All options are granted at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and have a term of not greater than 10 years from the date of grant. Options are exercisable when vested. Vesting requires continuous employment up to the vesting date and the vesting schedule is determined by the Board of Directors at the time of each option grant.

The 2004 Plan

The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,500,000 common shares to employees, directors and other service providers of Broadcaster. Any options that expire prior to exercise will become available for new grants from the “pool” of ungranted options. Options that are granted under the 2004 Plan may be either options that qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code (“Incentive Options”), or those that do not qualify as such incentive stock options (“Non-Qualified Options”).

The 2004 Incentive Options may not be granted at a purchase price less than the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of the grant (or, for an option granted to a person holding more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock, at less than 110% of fair market value) and Non-Qualified Options may not be granted at a purchase price less than 85% of fair market value on the date of grant.



15





The term of each option, under the 2004 Plan, which is fixed at the date of grant, may not exceed 10 years from the date the option is granted (by law, an Incentive Option granted to a person holding more than 10% of the Company’s voting stock may be exercisable only for five years). At June 30, 2006, 6,500,000 options were available for future grants under the 2004 Plan. The 6,500,000 shares were approved by Broadcaster shareholders at the Annual Meeting held in May 2006.

The 1993 Plan

The 1993 Plan, as amended, permitted us to grant options to purchase up to 2,925,000 shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants at prices not less than the fair market value at date of grant for incentive stock options and not less than 85% of fair market value for non-statutory stock options. These options generally expire 10 years from the date of grant and become exercisable ratably over a three to five-year period. The Plan expired on June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2006, no shares were available for future grants under the 1993 Plan.

Prior to July 1, 2006, the Company had adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS 123. Had compensation cost for the stock-based compensation plans been determined based upon the fair value at grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS 123, net loss would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below. The pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the related historical information and is not necessarily indicative of actual results.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-QSB.

Overview

We historically operated as a software company. Prior to the acquisition of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. (“AccessMedia”) on June 1, 2006, we operated in two business segments: (i) computer aided design and precision engineering (“Precision Design”) and (ii) house plans and architectural drawings (“Houseplans”). As discussed below, we subsequently disposed of Precision Design and, as a result, we now operate in two business segments, AccessMedia and Houseplans.

In 2004, we began exploring various ways to enhance shareholder value, including the further migration of Broadcaster from a traditional or packaged software company to offering downloadable media and content over the Internet. We believe that the growth and reach of the Internet coupled with the predictability of recurring revenues should lead to enhanced Broadcaster shareholder value. As such, during 2005 we began discussions with AccessMedia, a developer of a platform for delivering real-time and interactive media over the Internet through its unique “virtual set-top box” technology. Concurrent with the completion of the acquisition of AccessMedia, we changed our name to Broadcaster, Inc.

Highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 consisted of:

·

The first full quarter of contribution from AccessMedia with revenues of $2,936,000;

·

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”), effective July 1, 2006, resulting in a non-cash expense of $507,000;

·

On September 29, 2006, we acquired the assets of America’s Biggest, Inc in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of Broadcaster stock and $500,000 in cash, and

·

Despite a downturn in the housing market and increased interest rates, revenues at our Houseplans segment remained stable.

We are now a global Internet entertainment network providing consumers with access to online entertainment that is fast, easy, safe, fun, and of great value. We offer a wide variety of on-demand programming including movies, music, television shows, viral videos, mobile media, games, news, sports, and other entertainment focused content, in one place that can be viewed or downloaded at anytime and on any device.  Our proprietary virtual set-top box technology available at www.accessmedia.tv puts Internet users in control of their entertainment experience allowing users to choose what, when and on which device they want to view media and content.

We provide users with delivery of both short and long form digital entertainment content − giving them the power to download content to their desktop computer, laptop, PSP, iPod or preferred mobile entertainment device. We enable consumers to easily find, organize, download and enjoy the growing volumes of high quality content available online. Our capabilities span our proprietary media library, media under license, and media readily available on the Internet. We are also in discussions with major studios, cable and television networks, music labels, and game producers to become a gateway for the direct delivery of first run movies, popular television shows, music and online games.

Our multi-channel Internet entertainment network redefines the user experience on the Web, putting more control into the hands of the user with the most advanced technologies including a Download Manager, Entertainment Meta Search, Content Manager, Mobile Transfer Capabilities, Peer-to-Peer Technology, Social Networking Tools and Parental Lock functionality, among others. In addition, our entertainment meta search is one of the most advanced available on the Web and is optimized for rich media content allowing for advanced identification and indexing of media and content.



19





In addition to our Internet entertainment network, we are also a leading on-line distributor of stock architechtural house plans. We have an extensive library of over 25,000 unique architectural house plans and have more than 150,000 registered members. Our house plans are sold to developers, builders, architects and individuals allowing our customers to substantially reduce upfront planning and building costs.

The Acquisition  of AccessMedia

We completed the merger with AccessMedia (the “Merger”) on June 1, 2006 pursuant to which we issued 29,000,000 shares of our common stock and agreed to issue up to an additional 35,000,000 shares of our common stock upon achievement of certain revenue milestones to the former shareholders of AccessMedia. An additional 2,450,000 shares of Broadcaster common stock were issued in payment of merger related fees.

AccessMedia is led by seasoned Internet entrepreneurs. This team has been one of the foremost innovators of technologies, marketing, and advertising strategies for Internet-based consumer media offerings, and until now this team has operated in a private company environment. Additionally, this team has been a leader in providing web site development, traffic, database management, and hosting for many of the largest worldwide media companies.

We believe that the Merger offers us a unique opportunity to enter into the highly scalable Internet media industry. The underlying growth in the Internet media industry, coupled with high margin product offerings, innovative marketing strategies, and our exceptional management team, should combine to provide us with substantial growth and profit opportunities, creating significant shareholder value. We expect this substantial revenue growth and positive cash flow to begin almost immediately.

Sale of Precision Design

In June 2006, we sold Precision Design, our legacy software business as part of our overall strategy to position the company solely as an on-line business. We received a combination of $6.5 million in cash and an interest free note of $1.5 million, which was paid in full on July 3, 2006. $0.5 million of the purchase price is deposited in an indemnity escrow to secure certain representations and warranties included in the asset purchase agreement. Included in the assets sold were the TurboCad and DesignCAD product lines as well as other design and personal productivity titles.

The sale of Precision Design will reduce our operating expenses for fiscal year 2007 by approximately $5 million. Additionally, our increased cash positions us to grow our Internet entertainment business and to take advantage of future opportunities.

Strategy and Growth

We believe that consistent growth of both the revenues and operating earnings can be achieved through internally developed products and services, and through acquisitions. Management believes that good value target companies are present in the marketplace and that business combinations with these entities would help us achieve our growth potential in addition to providing synergies that would improve profitability.

Critical Accounting Policies

Those material accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed below.

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The policies discussed immediately below, are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, With Respect to Certain Transactions. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (generally a purchase order), product or service has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting account is probable.



20





·

For software and content delivered via the Internet, revenue is recorded when the customer downloads the software, activates the subscription account or is shipped the content. For online media revenue  when payment is collected

·

Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.

·

Revenue related to the display of advertisements on its Internet properties as impressions (the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users) are delivered, as long as no significant obligations remain at the end of the period. To the extent that significant obligations remain at the end of the period, the Company defers recognition of the corresponding revenue until the remaining guaranteed amounts are achieved.

·

Revenue from the display of text-based links to the websites of its advertisers is recognized as the click-throughs (the number of times a user clicks on an advertiser’s listing) occur.

·

Revenue related to the sale of Houseplans is recognized when the plan is shipped to the customer.

Impairment

Property, equipment, intangible and certain other long-lived assets are amortized over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management’s estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenues. We account for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with SFAS 144, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, goodwill is being assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment. The Company’s assessment of goodwill at September 30, 2006 indicated that no impairment exists at that date.

Stock Based Awards

On July 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense in the statement of operations for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”.

All of the numbers which follow are approximate and have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

Revenues by Business Segment

We have two business segments: AccessMedia and Houseplans.

AccessMedia: Although it was only recently commercially launched, AccessMedia generated revenue of $2,936,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Revenue includes software sales, internet media advertising sales and the sale of text-based internet links. Sales of downloaded products are recognized ratably over the term of the license sold. Sales of advertisements are recognized upon the delivery of the impressions guaranteed. Sales of click-throughs are recognized upon delivery of the click-throughs guaranteed.



22





Houseplans: We acquired Houseplans Inc (formerly Planworks LLC) in November 2003, Abbisoft House Plans, Inc in September 2004 and Weinmaster Homes, Ltd in July 2005. We have grown this business to be the leading online seller of stock house plans, targeting general contractors, consumers and designers. Our websites include houseplans.com, homeplanfinder.com, houseplanguys.com, globalhouseplans.com and weinmaster.com.

Revenues generated by this segment declined slightly during the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year from $1,717,000 to $1,699,000 a 1.0% decrease. Excluding the acquisition of Weinmaster, revenue grew from $1,117,000 to $1,204,000 a 7.8% increase.

Net Revenues

Net revenues increased to $4,635,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $1,717,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 or an increase of approximately 170%. The increase is due to the acquisition of AccessMedia.

Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit increased from $1,043,000 to $2,802,000 or 168.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006 respectively. Gross margin decreased from 60.7% to 60.4%.

AccessMedia’s cost of revenue consists of costs related to the products and services AccessMedia provides to customers. These costs include materials, salaries and related expenses for product support personnel, depreciation and maintenance of equipment used in providing services to customers and facilities expenses. The cost of revenue increased as a function of increasing activity over the periods and as result of amortization of assets acquired during 2005. Alchemy Communications, Inc, a company controlled by Mr. Nolan Quan, our principal shareholder, provides us with services including Internet connectivity, hosting services, programming services and equipment and office facilities. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, cost of sales included $130,000 related to these services.

AccessMedia also expects its product offerings to expand and the mixture of sales to change. Because of its limited operating history, changes in revenue mix, recent exit from the development stage and evolving business model, AccessMedia believes that analysis of historical cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues is not meaningful.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased from $646,000 to $2,135,000, or 230.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006 respectively. This increase was principally due to the merger with AccessMedia.

Sales and marketing expense for AccessMedia consists primarily of salaries and related expenses for sales, support and marketing personnel, commissions, costs and expenses for customer acquisition programs and referrals, a portion of facilities expenses and depreciation and amortization of equipment. AccessMedia’s expense levels have increased because of staffing and costs involved in testing and prototyping programs for selling its software, advertising and text-based links. AccessMedia anticipates that sales and marketing expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars as AccessMedia adds sales and marketing personnel and increases its customer acquisition activities.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and related expenses for administrative, finance, legal, human resources and executive personnel, fees for professional services and costs of accounting and internal control systems to support its operations. Expenses have increased primarily due to the addition of headcount in management and administration to support the increasing activity levels and as a result of amortization of assets acquired during 2006. Additionally, the adoption of SFAS 123 (R) resulted in an expense of $507,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. We expect we will incur approximately $2,729,000 of non cash stock option expense over the next six quarters related to the fair value of options unvested at September 30, 2006.



23





We anticipate that general and administrative expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars as AccessMedia builds its management team and hires additional administrative personnel and incurs increased costs such as professional fees. AccessMedia expects to secure a number of services from a related party at a market rate.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, general and administrative expenses included $55,000 related to services provided by Alchemy Communications.

Research and Development

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for research and development employees and payments to independent contractors, mainly our third party contract development teams. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, research and development costs included $48,000 related to services provided by Alchemy Communications.

Interest and Other, Net

Interest and other, net, changed from a net expense of $3,000 to a net gain of $98,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006 respectively. The change was principally due to an increase in cash balances and a reduction in debt obligations resulting from the deployment of proceeds from the sale of Precision Design.

Provision for State and Federal Income Taxes

We recorded income tax benefit of $142,000 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2006 primarily represented the release of deferred tax provision on amortization of intangible assets offset by accrued Canadian income taxes.

We have not recorded a tax benefit for domestic tax losses because of the uncertainty of realization. We adhere to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Consistent with our past practice, we have recorded a full valuation allowance at September 30, 2006 as the realizeability of our net operating loss carry-forwards is not determinable.

The value of the common stock was based on the date of closing.

On November 2, 2005, we replaced the shares of Smith Micro common stock in escrow with cash, as permitted by the escrow agreement.

On November 10, 2005, we sold 100% of our holdings of Smith Micro shares at a gain of $923,000 which was shown in Other Income as Realized Gain on Securities in the December quarter.

Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, Smith Micro released $500,000 plus interest of $7,000 and $750,000 plus interest of $26,000 of the escrowed cash to us in December 2005 and March 2006, respectively. These amounts, when released, added to our calculation of gain or loss on the sale.

As a result of this sale we recorded a loss on the sale of discontinued operations of $843,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2005. This loss calculation does not consider the remaining cash held in escrow of approximately $0.3 million and is subject to change in future reporting periods depending upon the future release of cash from escrow.

Sale of Precision Design

On June 9, 2006 Broadcaster, Inc. (formerly, International Microcomputer Software, Inc.) sold substantially all of the assets used in the operation of the segment of our business referred to as the Precision Design Software Business. The assets were sold to IMSI Design, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Purchaser”) which was newly formed for the purpose of the acquisition.

In consideration for the transfer of the assets, the Purchaser paid $6,500,000 in cash, of which $500,000 was deposited in an escrow to back our representations and warranties in the sale Agreement, and the Purchaser delivered its promissory note, due July 3, 2006, in the principal amount of $1,500,000. In addition, the Purchaser assumed certain liabilities, and agreed to perform a number of contracts that were associated with the Precision Design Software Business.

As a result of this sale, we have categorized the assets, liabilities and operations of the Precision Design as discontinued operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006.

Loss from discontinued operations totaling $708,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 represents the net loss of Precision Design Segment.

Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its applicatio n. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1,005,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 in contrast to $7,469,000 for the same quarter of 2005. A principal factor for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 consisted of $1,500,000 received from the sale of Precision Design.

Related-Party Transactions

When we acquired AccessMedia on June 1, 2006, we acquired its demand note payable of $1,725,000 payable to Mr. Nolan Quan, who became our principal shareholder in conjunction with the AccessMedia acquisition. The note pays below market interest of 4% per annum. Mr. Quan controls Alchemy Communications which provides us with services described under “Results of Operations”, above. Additionally, beyond four limited liability companies controlled by Mr. Quan, the remaining shareholder of AccessMedia was Mr. Michael Gardner. Mr. Gardner as the sole member of Baytree Capital Associates, LLC received 2,450,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the merger, 1,450,000 shares as a financial advisory fee in connection with the merger and 1,000,000 shares as a consulting fee. Baytree Capital continues to provide consulting services to us at no additional cost. These services consist primarily of managerial advice, strate gic advice, capital markets advice and working with our lawyers in connection with, among other things, our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including our growth and profit opportunities, the timing of our substantial revenue growth and positive cash flow, our completion of acquisitions, the favorable impact from the Weinmaster acquisition and our liquidity. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this report, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans, and objectives, are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this report are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these plans, intentions, or expectations will be achieved. Actual results may differ materially from those stated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors including acceptance by consumers of our current and future products, our ability to complete development of new products, our ability to reach agreements with third parties relating to acquisitions, our ability to integrate Weinmaster and the risk factors contained in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006.

ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of September 30, 2006, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) We have evaluated our accounting procedures and control processes in place as of September 30, 2006 related to material transactions to ensure they are recorded timely and accurately in the financial statements. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referenced in paragraph (a) above.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Our subsidiary, AccessMedia, was named as one of a number of co-defendants in a suit filed by the FTC on August 8, 2006 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging a violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act arising from products known as Movieland.com, Moviepass.tv, and Popcorn.net. The complaint challenges the validity of the use of pop-up payment reminders for software licenses in conjunction with a free trial offer for the Movieland.com, Moviepass.tv and Popcorn.net products. A copy of the complaint may be viewed online at http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/0623008/060808movielandcmplt.pdf. A United States District Court judge denied the FTC’s request to issue a temporary restraining order. The parties have entered into an interim consent order t hat allows the pop-up payment reminders to continue to issue at least until time of trial and on a reduced frequency per day. Trial on the merits of the case will be scheduled for a later time. Our management believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously. While our management believes there is no legal basis for liability, due to the uncertainty surrounding the litigation process, no reasonable estimate of loss is available. In addition, AccessMedia was also named as one of a number of co-defendants in a suit filed by the Washington State Attorney General on or about August 8, 2006 in King County Superior Court, alleging violations of the Washington Spyware Act and Consumer Protection Act and arising from products known as Movieland.com, Moviepass.tv, and Popcorn.net. A copy of the Washington complaint can be viewed online at http://www.atg.wa.gov/releases/2006/Documents/MovielandComplaint8-14-06.pdf. AccessMedia intends to vigorously defend the allegations. W hile management believes there is no legal basis for liability, due to the uncertainty surrounding the litigation process, no reasonable estimate of loss is available.

32






(b)

The representations and warranties of Seller contained in Sections 4.1 (Organization and Good Standing) and 4.2 (Authority and Enforceability), shall survive the Closing indefinitely.  The representations and warranties of Seller contained in Sections 4.5 (Taxes) and 4.16 (Employee Benefits) shall survive the Closing until 60 days after the expira­tion of the applicable statute of limitations period (after giving effect to any waivers and extensions thereof).  The representations and warranties of Seller contained in Section 4.18 (Environmental) shall survive the Closing for a period of 3 years following the Closing Date.

(c)

The covenants and agreements which by their terms do not contemplate performance after the Closing shall survive the Closing for a period of 3 years.  The covenants and agreements which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date shall survive the Closing indefinitely.

(d)

The period for which a representation or warranty, covenant or agreement survives the Closing is referred to herein as the "Applicable Survival Period."  In the event notice of claim for indemnification under Section 9.2 is given within the Applicable Survival Period, the representation or warranty, covenant or agreement that is the subject of such indemnification claim (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim) shall survive with respect to such claim until such claim is finally resolved. The Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee for all Losses (subject to the limitations set forth herein, if applicable) that the Indemnitee may incur in respect of such claim, regardless of when incurred.

9.2

Indemnification by Seller and the Stockholders

(a)

Seller and the Stockholders shall jointly and severally indemnify and defend Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the "Buyer Indemnitees") against, and shall hold them harmless from, any and all losses, damages, claims (including third party claims), charges, interest, penalties, Taxes, diminution in value, costs and expenses (including legal, consultant, accounting and other professional fees, costs of sampling, testing, investigation, removal, treatment and remediation of contamination and fees and costs incurred in enforcing rights under this Section 9.2) (collectively, "Losses") resulting from, arising out of, or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee in connection with, or otherwise with respect to:

(i)

the failure of any representation and warranty or other statement by Seller contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Seller Disclosure Schedule or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date;

(ii)

any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Seller Disclosure Schedule or



33






any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements;

(iii)

any Excluded Liability, regardless of whether or not the Seller Disclosure Schedule discloses any such Excluded Liability, and including any Liability arising from Bulk Sales Laws; and

(iv)

any fees, expenses or other payments incurred or owed by Seller to any agent, broker, investment banker or other firm or person retained or employed by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Any and all Losses hereunder shall bear interest from the date incurred until paid at the rate of 6% per annum.

(b)

Seller and the Stockholders shall not be liable for any Loss or Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) ("Buyer Warranty Losses") (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Buyer Warranty Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees exceeds $25,000 (the "Indemnification Threshold"), in which event Seller and the Stockholders shall be liable for all Buyer Warranty Losses from the first dollar, and (ii) to the extent that Buyer Warranty Losses exceed $300,000 in the aggregate; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 9.2(b) shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies which Buyer has, or might have, at Law, in equity or otherwise, based on fraud or a willful misrepresentation or willful breach of warranty hereunder.

9.3

Escrow Fund

(a)

As soon as practicable after the Closing, Buyer shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent a certificate or certificates representing the Escrow Shares. The term "Escrow Shares" means an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Buyer Common Stock plus any shares as may be issued upon any stock split, stock dividend or similar recapitalization with respect to such shares.  The Escrow Shares shall be referred to hereinafter as the "Escrow Fund."  The Escrow Fund shall be available to compensate the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Indemnitors. In addition to any other remedies Buyer may have for Losses described in Section 9.2 hereof, Buyer may make a claim against the Escrow Fund for the amount of such Losses by sending a Notice of Claim described in Section 9.4 or 9.5 to the Escrow Agent. Buyer's recourse to the Escrow Fund shall be w ithout prejudice to any and all other remedies Buyer may have pursuant to this Article IX or otherwise. Buyer's remedies for Losses shall not be limited to the assets comprising the Escrow Fund.  

(b)

The Escrow Fund shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.  Subject to and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, once the Indemnification Threshold has been reached, the full amount of all Losses (aggregating all of the claims against the Indemnitors) shall be subject to indemnification from the first dollar and a number of Escrow Shares shall be released to



34






Buyer from the Escrow Fund that have an aggregate value equal to the amount of all such Losses.  The value of the Escrow Shares shall be computed, with respect to Losses attributable to each respective claim, on the basis of the closing price of Buyer Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing (the "Indemnity Stock Price").

9.4

Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims

(a)

In the event that an Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Action by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought under the provisions of this Article IX ("Third Party Claim"), the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnitor in writing of such Third Party Claim ("Notice of Claim").  Failure or delay in notifying the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any Liability it may have to the Indemnitee, except and only to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Indemnitor with respect to such Third Party Claim.  The Notice of Claim shall set forth the amount, if known, or, if not known, an estimate of the foreseeable maximum amount of claimed Losses (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Losses) and a description of the basis for such Third Party C laim.

(b)

Subject to the further provisions of this Section 9.4, the Indemnitor will have 10 days (or less if the nature of the Third Party Claim requires) from the date on which the Indemnitor received the Notice of Claim to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a "Third Party Defense").  If the Indemnitor assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Indemnitor shall be conclusively deemed to have acknowledged that the Third Party Claim is within the scope of its indemnity obligation hereunder and shall hold the Indemnitee harmless from and against the full amount of any Losses resulting therefrom (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement).  Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Third Party Defense and to participate therein, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnitor unless (A) the Indemnitor shall have failed, within the time after having been notified by the Indemnitee of the exist­ence of the Third Party Claim as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph (b), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, or (B) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnitor, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)

The Indemnitor will not be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense if:

(i)

the Third Party Claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief (except where non-monetary relief is merely incidental to a primary claim or claims for monetary damages);



35






(ii)

the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceed­ing, action, indictment, allegation or investigation;

(iii)

the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any Environmental Action;

(iv)

under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue exists between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor in respect of the Third Party Claim;

(v)

the Third Party Claim involves a material customer or supplier of the Business;

(vi)

the Indemnitee reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnitee's reputation or future business prospects;

(vii)

the Indemnitor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim; or

(viii)

the Indemnitor fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of its financial capacity to prosecute the Third Party Defense and provide indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; or

(ix)

the Third Party Claim would give rise to Losses which are more than the amount indemnifiable by the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article X.  

(d)

If by reason of the Third Party Claim a Lien, attachment, garnishment or execution is placed upon any of the property or assets of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor, if it desires to exercise its right to assume such Third Party Defense, must furnish a satisfactory indemnity bond to obtain the prompt release of such Lien, attachment, garnishment or execution.

(e)

If the Indemnitor assumes a Third Party Defense, it will take all steps necessary in the defense, prosecution, or settlement of such claim or litigation and will hold all Indemnitees harmless from and against all Losses caused by or arising out of such Third Party Claim (subject to the last sentence of Section 9.4(b)).  The Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement except with the written consent of the Indemnitee to which the Indemnitor is obligated to furnish indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the consent of the Indemnitee shall not be required if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the terms of the judgment or proposed settlement include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Indemnitees by the third party of a release of the Indemnitees from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnitees (or any Affiliate thereof), (B) any violation of the rights of any Person and (C) no effect on any other Action or claims of a similar nature that may be made against the Indemnitees (or any Affiliate thereof), and (iii) the sole form of relief is monetary damages which are paid in full by the Indemnitor. The



36






Indemnitor shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and the Indemnitee will provide reasonable cooperation in the defense of the Third Party Claim.  So long as the Indemnitor is reasonably conducting the Third Party Defense in good faith, the Indemnitee will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to pay or settle any such Third Party Claim; provided that, in such event, subject to the following sentence, it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnitor for such claim unless the Indemnitor shall have consented to such payment or settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If the Indemn itor is not reasonably conducting the Third Party Defense in good faith, the Indemnitee shall have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnitee promptly for all Losses incurred in connection with such judgment or settlement.

(f)

In the event that (i) an Indemnitee gives Notice of Claim to the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor fails or elects not to assume a Third Party Defense which the Indemnitor had the right to assume under this Section 9.4 or (ii) the Indemnitor is not entitled to assume the Third Party Defense pursuant to this Section 9.4, the Indemnitee shall have the right, with counsel of its choice, to defend, conduct and control the Third Party Defense, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor.  In each case, the Indemnitee shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently, and the Indemnitor will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense.  The Indemnitee shall have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that the amount of an y settlement made or entry of any judgment consented to by the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitor shall not be determinative of the validity of the claim, except with the consent of the Indemnitor (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding Section 10.6 hereof, in connection with any Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnitee for purposes of any claim that the Indemnitee may have under this Article IX with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on the Indemnitor with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world. If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume a Third Party Defense which it has the right to assume hereunder, the Indemnitee shall have no obligation to do so.   

(g)

Each party to this Agreement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and to cause its employees to cooperate with and assist the Indemnitee or the Indemnitor, as the case may be, in connection with any Third Party Defense, including attending conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals and furnishing records, information and testimony, as may reasonably be requested; provided that each party shall use its best efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim of which it has assumed the defense, to preserve the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges.
