Item 1. Description of Business
This section and other parts of this Form 10-SB contain forward-looking statements that
involve risk and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results
discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include,
but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled Risk Factors commencing on page 9.
Overview
We are an interactive agency specializing in the provision of private label online social
networks and community services for companies, many of which are in the Fortune 1000, to engage and
build loyalty with, provide support to and gather intelligence from their customers. We develop
and operate online social networks and communities for our clients. These communities are designed
to build lasting relationships with and among our clients customers and other constituencies it
is the difference between simply operating community applications and creating solutions that meet
our clients fundamental business goals.
We create value by enabling and managing dialogue based relationships on the Internet. This
in turn addresses the burgeoning market for Internet based relationship marketing, customer support
and business intelligence services. Although online communities have existed for over 20 years,
only in the past few years has the genre come in to its own, and we believe it will become one of
the dominant venues by which brands market to and manage relationships with their customers. We
provide not only the technology and infrastructure to create an online community and the moderation
services to oversee it, but also expertise to consult with our clients on the best way to integrate
their community with their brand. Our community management and moderation services help to define
the environment, provide leadership, and direct the content of the community to reflect that of the
clients focus. Our features and tools enable members of the community to express themselves and
interact with each other, and our client. Our reporting tools, combined with our insight, reveal
to the client what is happening and what it means, factors critical to community management, as
well as to our clients to help them achieve their business objectives.
We build, operate (application hosting) and moderate private label online social network and
community services for clients who use these services to generate dialogue and relationships with
and among their customers and other constituencies. Clients use these services for loyalty
relationship marketing, customer support and business intelligence. Our services consist of the
following products delivered on a complete end-to-end or modular basis:
Professional Services: Professional Services includes development and set-up of standard
systems; customization of the standard system (features, design, data feeds, integrated

management.

their basic social networking/community brand definition, their overall site design with an
emphasis on the community architecture, development and setup of the social network/community site,
ongoing application hosting operations, moderation, community management and reporting.
For other clients, we provide only the specific modules they request. For example, we may
provide moderation services deployed on a clients in-house or third party platform or
alternatively we may simply provide application hosting with the client using our tools to moderate
the service themselves. For some clients we only provide message forums and for others we only
provide support for live events (interactive webcasts).
We were incorporated in California on April 10, 1996 as LiveWorld Productions and
reincorporated in Delaware in July 1999. In April 1999 we changed our name from LiveWorld
Productions to Talk City, Inc. On May 8, 2001,when we sold our Talk City consumer site, we changed
our name from Talk City, Inc. to LiveWorld, Inc. Our principal office is located at 4340 Stevens
Creek Blvd., Suite 101, San Jose, California, 95129. Our telephone number is (408) 871-5200. Our
Internet address is http://www.liveworld.com. No information on our website is deemed to be
incorporated into this registration statement.
We intend to furnish our stockholders with annual reports containing audited financial
statements and an opinion thereon expressed by independent certified public accountants and with
quarterly reports for the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year containing unaudited
interim financial information.
Industry Background
Online communities first appeared during the 1980s when companies and governments set up
proprietary networks that enabled their constituencies to communicate with and build relationships
with each other. Notable examples from the mid-1980s include Apple Computers AppleLink, France
Telecoms MiniTel, and small consumer services such as The Well. In the late 1980s and early
1990s, a series of proprietary consumer online services became popular. Examples include Apples
eWorld, America Online, CompuServe, Genie and Prodigy in the United State and NiftyServe in Japan.
In the mid to late 1990s, as the Internet developed into a popular consumer, business and
education venue, the volume of online users and the economy around them grew substantially. Online
community usage grew as a major area of Internet usage. In the years 2000 through 2003, the economy
experienced national recession and the Internet industry experienced a downturn in which many
Internet companies went out of business. In the last few years online social networks have grown
in popularity. We believe the primary factors contributing to this growth are:
|
|
|
General recovery of the economy and the business sector in particular resumed
growth. As businesses have recovered from the economic downturn, they have begun
looking for more efficient ways to market and support their products, as well as to
better understand their customers, which has created interest in the high leverage
afforded by marketing through consumers such as via social networks and online
communities. |
|
|
|
|
The Internet resumed its growth. As the economy recovered in years 2004 to 2006,
growth of the Internet and Internet online communities resumed in the United States
and markets |

worldwide. The number of Internet users in North America reached 232 million by the
end of 2006, representing a 69.4% market penetration. Worldwide the total number of
Internet users reached over one billion people. (source:
www.internetworldstats.com,
January 11, 2007) |

Generation C (Connected Community) has become an economic force. During the last
few years a new generation, dubbed Generation C, has come of age. Generation C is
characterized by high level of social networking, via cell phone text messaging, and
online community venues such as profiles, message forums, blogs, and
instant messaging.
We believe this generation uses social networks and online community as a central point of
activity, for the formation of impressions and purchase decisions in every aspect of
their lives and will continue to do so as they grow older. As this generation has matured and their purchasing
power has grown, marketers are turning to social networks and online communities as the
venue to reach them. MySpace tripled its volume from 17 million unique monthly
visitors in 2005 to more than 54 million in July 2006 (source: Business Week, July 25,
2006, quoting comScore Media Metrix). By the end of 2006, users on YouTube were
uploading 65,000 new videos each day. At the end of 2005, YouTube users watched 10
million videos a day. At the end of 2006 they watched 100 million videos a day
(source: Time Magazine, December 25, 2006). |
|
|
|
|
Mobile phone usage grew and market penetration increased.
As mobile phone technology has
been adopted people are becoming more used to and more eager to communicate on the go
via voice, text messaging, and Internet applications. We believe this pattern is
similar to, overlaps with and makes use of Internet social networking thus bringing
more people into the market and growing it further. The global mobile phone population
grew from approximately 200 million people in year 1998 to over 1.8 billion people in
year 2005 with hundreds of millions of these devices used to access the Internet.
Approximately, 600 million mobile phones are sold every year.

Acquisition of MySpace, a leading consumer destination social network, by Rupert
Murdochs NewsCorp in July 2005. This single acquisition caused many companies across
the media and marketing industries to consider the implications of social networking
and begin designing marketing strategies with online communities in mind. We believe
this dynamic has intensified as Google announced its acquisition of YouTube, a user
video site in October 2006. |
|
|
|
|
Successful online marketing has intensified interest in the sector. As some
companies have been successful marketing through online community venues we believe
others have become more interested in following. Successful examples of online
community marketing from our own client list include: The Campbell Soup Company, the
Dove Campaign For Real Beauty, eBay, HBO, MINI Cooper USA and TV Guide, among others. |
Our Vision
We create value for clients and their customers through online dialogue venues managed to
enable, grow, and cultivate relationships with and among people.
Our Mission
To be the #1 provider of online social network and community marketing services helping
companies build better relationships through services that reduce costs, increase revenue and build
customer loyalty.

Our Business Goals
We adopted the following goals at our start in 1996, and since that time up to the present, we
have held to these same goals:
|
1) |
|
To make a lot of money for everyone, i.e. generate a positive returns on
investment for our clients, employees and shareholders; |
|
|
2) |
|
Having a blast, i.e. maintain a fun, positive working environment where
employees morale is high; |
|
|
3) |
|
While creating and managing quality online community venues. |
|
|
We are a highly ethical company and we care about the people we work
with and for. |
Our History
From the time of our initial public offering in July 1999 through 2000, we experienced
substantial revenue growth. Starting in the first quarter of 2000 our revenue growth began to slow
and later declined due to declines in the general economic conditions, the collapse of the Internet
market and the economic impact of the 9/11 terrorist attack.
We took a number of steps to address the reduction in revenues. First, we shifted our primary
focus to fee-based private label online social networks and community services, and away from
advertising-based consumer site services. As a result the private label business grew to be a
majority of our revenues in 2000. In May 2001, we sold the assets of the business associated with
the consumer site, Talk City, and from that point in time to the present date we have concentrated
all of our efforts on the private label online social networks and community services.
We also restructured and downsized the business
to survive the severe decline of companies
relying upon the Internet, as well as the general economic downturn. These actions involved cutting
our expenditures dramatically including phasing out lines of business such as our consumer site,
www.talkcity.com, reducing our employee headcount from approximately 235 people to 15 people,
reducing salaries across the board in the range of approximately 25% to 80%, negotiating the end of
our former long-term 65,000 square foot lease, closing multiple offices, downsizing our board of
directors and eliminating our directors and officers insurance.
In May 2001,
our common stock was delisted from the Nasdaq National Market because
it was trading at below $1.00 per share for an extended period. In
December 2002, we elected to deregister our common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We took this action as a means to further reduce our expenses, including eliminating the cost of preparing periodic reports and suspending external financial auditing.
As a result of these actions, we survived and became cash flow positive from operations.
Our Core Strengths
Our focus is to consistently deliver the various combinations of online social networking and
community services that enable our clients to build better relationships with and among their
customers and other constituencies such as their employees and business partners. We believe that
certain core strengths have been, and will continue to be, key to our success. These core
strengths include the following:
|
|
|
Strategic community model that maps the culture of the community to the ethos of the
clients brand; |
|
|
|
|
Complete solution approach with a return-on-investment focus; |
|
|
|
|
Wide range of user functionality; |
|
|
|
|
Proprietary moderation tools; |
|
|
|
|
Seamless integration into our clients systems; |
-5-
|
|
|
Customization of systems; |
|
|
|
|
Portfolio of moderation services and proprietary moderation tools; |
|
|
|
|
Network of trained community leaders and moderators; |
|
|
|
|
Global-local services and experience having deployed in over 30 country/language
combinations; |
|
|
|
|
Technology, including platform, features and flexible implementation; |
|
|
|
|
24x7 mission-critical and scalable infrastructure; |
|
|
|
|
|
Experience of the team, which includes senior executives each with over 20 years of
online social network and community experience; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Marquee clients who are the leaders in their market segments. |
In addition to considering our strengths, investors
are cautioned to consider the significant risks we face. For example, our revenues are highly concentrated with two clients, AOL LLC and eBay Inc., which account for approximately 67% of our revenues in fiscal year 2006. Additionally, we have seen an erosion of our revenues from AOL LLC from a high of 51% of total revenues for fiscal year 2005 down to 25% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We are also highly dependent upon our management team,
many members of which have served us since our inception in 1996.
Investors are encouraged to carefully consider all the risks and
weakness identified in this document, including those risks appearing
under Risk Factors below, as well as the transactions
described under Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
Our Strategy
We intend to expand upon our core strengths to further enhance our ability to provide high
quality private label online social networks and community services for companies quickly and
efficiently. Our strategy also includes the following key elements:
|
|
|
Extend the range of methods by which online social network and community services
can be deployed for relationship marketing, customer support and business intelligence
for major brands, and monetization for Internet sites; |
|
|
|
|
Expand scope of services including end-user features, feature and design
customizability, moderation services, and reporting services; |
|
|
|
|
Leverage our relationship with marketing agencies, including
our WPP Group plc relationship,
to close new business with programs that are deeply integrated into our clients main
marketing strategies and programs; and |
|
|
|
|
Expand internationally in Europe and Asia. |

With
the exception of AOL LLC (AOL or AOL US) and eBay, none of our clients accounted for more than 4% of
our revenue in fiscal year 2006. AOL US represented 36% for fiscal year 2006, 51% for fiscal year
2005 and 42% for fiscal 2004. eBay represented 31% for fiscal year 2006, 26% for fiscal year 2005
and 38% for fiscal year 2004.
AOL US represented 25% of revenue
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 49% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
eBay represented 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 29% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Both AOL US and eBay are market leaders and valued clients. Our current contract with AOL US
can not be cancelled without incurring a penalty through March 31, 2008. We have recently signed a three-year renewal
contract with eBay that runs to the end of 2009. While the term of the contract is three years,
different parts of the contract can, with six months notice, be cancelled by eBay after one year,
and/or cancelled with cancellation penalties.
We are increasingly working with our clients advertising and marketing agencies to form
relationship marketing strategies and create social network and community solutions integrated into
the overall marketing strategy. We have delivered programs with agencies such as, AKQA
(Coca-Cola), AOL Media (Dove, Target, media clients), Beamland (MINI), Digit (media client), Euro
RSCG (Campbells, MINI), Hill Holiday, Connors & Cosmopolis (financial services client), Ogilvy &
Mather (Dove), and Wunderman UK (Land Rover).
In
July 2006, we entered into a non-exclusive joint venture with
WPP Group plc (through its
subsidiary, J. Walter Thompson U.S.A., Inc., or WPP). Pursuant to the joint venture we formed an
LLC, LiveWorld-WPP, L.L.C., to market and sell our products and
services to WPP Group plc. WPP Group plc is one of the worlds leading marketing and communications firms and
includes in its company portfolio JWT, Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, Y&R, The Voluntarily United
Group, Grey Worldwide, MindShare, MediaCom, Mediaedge:cia, Millward Brown, Research International,
KMR Group, OgilvyOne Worldwide, Wunderman, 141 Worldwide, Hill & Knowlton, Ogilvy Public Relations
Worldwide, Burson-Marsteller, Cohn & Wolfe, CommonHealth, Sudler & Hennessey, Ogilvy Healthworld,
Enterprise IG, Landor and Fitch among others. Please see Item
7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
for more information on our relationship with WPP.
Competition
The market for private label online social networking and community services is new, rapidly
evolving, highly competitive, and is characterized by typical market pressures such as pricing, new
capabilities and time to market.
We believe the primary competitive factors are:
|
|
|
Quality of the community offering a positive user experience, an effective and
lasting brand impression, and the ability to create and manage the communitys culture
such that it maps to and from the clients brand; |
|
|
|
|
Solutions approach and quality of client service with a return-on-investment focus; |
-7-
|
|
|
Brand recognition with corporate clients; |
|
|
|
|
User affinity and loyalty; |
|
|
|
|
Full range of value-added service including moderation, reporting, design and
customization, as well as application hosting; |
|
|
|
|
Global and local capabilities; |
|
|
|
|
Quality, reliability and scalability of the systems; and |
|
|
|
|
Functionality, technology and system infrastructure. |
We compete
with established online community services companies including:
|
|
|
Lithium Systems; and |
|
|
|
|
Prospero. |
We also compete with numerous new
entrants from a wide range of sectors, including marketing
services, software technology and Internet services. In addition to third party providers, we also
compete with companies potential in-house capabilities.
We believe we distinguish ourselves from our competitors by:
|
|
|
Our position as a full solution interactive agency rather than the more narrow focus
of being only an application service provider or only a moderation services provider; |
|
|
|
|
Fully integrated solutions in which the components interoperate and the overall
system is integrated with the clients system; |
|
|
|
|
Structured community environments that engage and build loyalty with our
clients constituencies; |
|
|
|
|
Large scale infrastructure, and proprietary technology including applications,
moderation tools and reporting tools; |
|
|
|
|
Leadership in the moderation space and community management space; |
|
|
|
|
Global capabilities with years of experience providing solutions in dozens of

|
|
Sales and marketing relationships, including our joint venture with WPP. |
Employees
As
of March 31, 2007, we had a total of 63 corporate employees, all of whom were located in
the United States. Of the total, 28 were engaged in product development and systems deployment, 24
in producing and managing the services, 2 in sales and marketing, and
9 in general and
administrative. In addition, we had 210 moderator employees along
with 13 international contract moderators. These moderators are paid on an
hourly basis. The number of moderators can vary substantially depending on the volume and scope of
our moderation services business.
None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We have never experienced any work
stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
-8-
We believe that stock options are an important element of our employee compensation that is
needed to be competitive in hiring new employees or retaining existing employees. As such we
intend to continue to use equity compensation to motivate employees.
In June 2007, our stockholders approved a new stock option plan (the
2007 Option Plan) that reserve 10,000,000 shares of
common stock for future issuance, plus any shares that remained
ungranted under our prior plan or that are forfeited after the
adoption of the 2007 Option Plan. The 2007 Option Plan does not
include an annual evergreen increase, so any future
increase of options available under the plan would require approval of
our Board of Directors and stockholders.
Intellectual Property, Proprietary Rights And Domain Names
We regard our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets, proprietary technology and
similar intellectual property as critical to our success and we rely on trademark and copyright
law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and license agreements with our employees,
clients, independent contractors, network participants and others to protect our proprietary
rights. We strategically pursue the registration of trademarks and service marks in the United
States, and have applied for and obtained registration in the United States for LiveWorld.
Effective trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in
every country in which we offer our services.
As part of our operating contracts with clients, we cross-license proprietary rights, such as
trademarks, or copyrighted material and intellectual property for the purpose of use in the
deployment of the contracted services. Although we attempt to ensure that the quality of our brand
and our other proprietary rights are maintained in these deployments, the steps we take to protect
these proprietary rights may not be adequate and third parties may infringe or misappropriate our
copyrights, trademarks and similar proprietary rights. In addition, other parties may assert
claims of infringement of intellectual property or other proprietary rights against us.
RISK FACTORS
We
operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves numerous
uncertainties and risks. The risks and uncertainties that may have
a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition
or results of operations are listed below. You should consider these
risks and uncertainties carefully, together with all of the other
information included or incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement on Form 10-SB before you decide whether to
purchase any of our securities. If any of the risks or uncertainties
we face were to occur, the trading price of our securities could
decline, and you may lose all of part of your investment.
Fluctuations in quarterly operating results may cause our stock price
to decline.
Our
operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and in the event our operating
results in one or more future quarters were to be below the expectations of our investors the price
of our common stock would likely decline. We expect that our
quarterly operating results may continue to
fluctuate significantly. For example, our net revenues
might fluctuate in the event we were to win or lose a major client,
or if one of our major clients increased or decreased its business
with us. Our operating results may be affected by many other factors, the more important of which include:
|
|
|
Our dependence on increased online community services
revenues; |
-9-
|
|
|
General economic conditions; |
|
|
|
|
The length of our sales cycle; |
|
|
|
|
Our ability to increase our base of clients; |
|
|
|
|
Our management of any growth; |
|
|
|
|
Potential technical difficulties or system down time affecting the Internet
generally or our company specifically; and |
|
|
|
|
The success of our strategy to invest in growth, product development and sales and
marketing efforts. |
These factors are described in more detail in the risk factors described below. Many of these
factors are beyond our control.
Our revenue is highly concentrated in two clients, the loss of part or all this business could
severely damage our company and cause our stock price to decline.
Our revenues are concentrated between our two largest clients, AOL US and eBay. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 revenue from AOL US comprised approximately 25% of our revenue and eBay accounted for approximately 30% or our revenue, or combined these two clients accounted for 55% of the revenue for the period. For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, revenue from AOL US comprised approximately 36% of our revenue
and eBay accounted for approximately 31% of our revenue, or combined
these two clients accounted for 67% of the revenue for 2006. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, AOL US revenues accounted for 51% and 42% of our revenues and eBay revenues accounted for 26%
and 38% of our revenues or combined these two clients accounted for
77% of the revenue for 2005 and 80% of the revenue for 2004. Our revenue from these clients can change rapidly with little notice, and
our revenue from AOL US has declined in recent years and is expected to continue to decline in
fiscal year 2007. For example, we expect our revenue from AOL US to decline from approximately
$3.6 million in fiscal year 2006 to approximately $1.5 million in fiscal year 2007 as a result of
changes in AOL USs business, which has reduced the volume of services AOL US intends to purchase
from us.
Because our largest clients account
for a substantial portion of our revenue, and because they have significant leverage in the markets
in which we compete, we may determine to waive or amend provisions of our agreements, or enter
into new agreements on terms less favorable than would otherwise prevail. The continued
concentration of revenue among these clients may create additional volatility in our stock price.
The loss of a significant portion of business from either of these clients would materially harm
our operating results, and could result in a significant decline in our stock price.
We are highly dependent upon the services of our key personnel, and if we were unable to
timely replace any key employee, our business would be severely harmed.
Our future success will depend, to a significant extent, on the continued services of Peter
Friedman, our Chairman and, Chief Executive Officer, Jenna Woodul, our EVP and Chief Community
Officer and Chris Christensen, our EVP of Engineering and Operations. Mr. Friedman has been our
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since the start of the company in 1996 and also served as our
Chief Financial Officer from 2002 to 2006, and Mr. Friedman, Ms. Woodul and Mr. Christensen have
been the primary members of our executive team since our inception in 1996. Although the loss of
any key employee can be damaging, the loss
-10-
of the services of Mr. Friedman, Ms. Woodul, or Mr.
Christensen could be especially damaging to us because of their extended history of service and the
concentration of management responsibility among these executives. The loss of any one of these
executives, or any other key employee could cause us to incur increased operating expenses and
divert other senior management time in searching for their replacements. The loss of their
services could also harm our reputation with clients. We do not have long-term employment
agreements with Mr. Friedman, Ms. Woodul, Mr. Christensen or any other employee. We maintain a $5
million key person life insurance policy on Mr. Friedman but do not have any such insurance on any
other personnel.
The market in which we compete is highly competitive, and if we are unable to compete
effectively, our business will not succeed and our stock price will decline.
The market in which we compete is highly competitive and is characterized by pressure to
reduce prices, rapidly incorporate new technologies, frequently
introduce new products and services,
and accelerate community venue launches. Historically, the competitive landscape in which we
compete has been fragmented, with a variety of small companies competing with us. There are
relatively low barriers to entry into our business and we expect to face additional competition in
the future. Also, many companies attempt to implement services similar to those we provide
internally, requiring us to compete with these in-house implementations.
There can be no assurance that existing or future competitors will not develop or offer
services that provide significant advantages over those services offered by us, which could have a
material adverse affect on the business, financial condition, and operating results. Increases in
the number of companies competing for the attention and spending of businesses could result in
price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could decrease our revenues
and contribute to our not achieving our objectives.
We may need to raise capital in the future, and we may not be able to do so on attractive
terms, or at all.
We may desire or be required to raise additional capital in the future to operate or grow our
business including to:
|
|
|
Fund ongoing operations including adding personnel and equipment; |
|
|
|
|
Increase our client base; |
|
|
|
|
Increase our sales activities; |
|
|
|
|
Adequately inform the market about our product positioning and new products. |
If we do not have resources to achieve these objectives, our stock price could decline. If we
are required to raise capital, but are unable to do so on attractive terms, our existing investors
ownership could be significantly diluted and if we are unable to raise capital to continue
operations, our common stock would have no value.
Our sales cycle varies and at times is difficult to predict, which may result in greater
variation in quarterly results than would otherwise prevail.
Our sales cycle varies in length of time. During the sales cycle, we may expend substantial
funds and management resources without generating corresponding revenues. The time between our
initial contact with
-11-
a potential client and the execution of a contract with that client typically
ranges from a few weeks to several months. The sales cycle is also subject to delays as a result
of factors over which we have little or no control, including the following:
|
|
|
Client budgetary constraints; |
|
|
|
|
Client internal acceptance reviews; |
|
|
|
|
The success and continued internal support of clients own development efforts; and |
|
|
|
|
The possibility of cancellation or delay of projects by business clients. |
The length and uncertainty of the sales cycle also may harm our billing and collection
efforts. The length of the sales cycle might prevent us from rendering services on a more
accelerated basis, which slows cash flow and reduces our ability to
fund our expenditures during
the sales cycle. Companies with unpredictable revenue and sale cycles may experience higher
volatility in stock price than companies with more predictable operating results.
Private label online social network and community services are relatively new and our future
success is dependent upon the growth of this market.
We have derived, and expect to continue to derive, our revenues from the sale of private label
online social network and community services. The market for private label online social network
and community services has only recently begun to see substantial growth, is rapidly evolving and
is characterized by an increasing number of market entrants who have introduced or developed
products or services for the online community services market. Demand and market acceptance for
recently introduced services are subject to a high level of uncertainty. There can be no assurance
the market for online community development will continue to grow. Our growth and future success
will depend on our ability to increase the number of clients, expand our service offerings,
effectively implement these services and increase the average revenue per contract and per client.
Our ability to generate significant revenues will also be dependent, in part, on our ability to
create new online social network and community service offerings without diluting the value of our
existing programs. Increasing these services may also prove to be more expensive and time
consuming than anticipated and therefore having a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and operating results.
Our success will be limited if we are unable to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled
personnel.
Our future success also will depend on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly
skilled engineering, community management, sales, and other key personnel. Competition for such
personnel is, at times, intense in the Internet industry, and we may be unable to successfully attract,
integrate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. In addition, our ability to generate
revenues relates directly to our personnel both in terms of numbers and expertise of the personnel
we have available to work on the projects. Recent changes in the law, including recent regulations
regarding stock options, including the accounting treatment of stock options, may hinder our
ability to grant stock options and in turn hinder our ability to attract and retain personnel.
Moreover, competition for qualified employees may require us to increase our cash or equity
compensation, which may have an adverse effect on earnings.
-12-
We depend on our network of trained community leaders and moderators for our services, to
deploy and moderate our services. In addition, our ability to generate revenues relates directly
to the availability of these moderators and community leaders to keep up with the work associated
with the communities we develop and run for our clients. As a result any failure to retain
existing moderators and community leaders, or hire new moderators and community leaders when
necessary could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and operating
results.
Many companies are facing increasing globalization cost pressures in the labor market ranging
from service jobs similar to our moderation workforce to high technology jobs similar to our
engineering workforce. If we find ourselves competing with companies that have lower cost service
or engineering personnel, we may see a reduction in our operating profits and/or the need to
offshore such service and engineering jobs.
We are parties to a joint venture agreement that may result in warrants to acquire a
substantial portion of our capital stock being issued, which would dilute our existing investors.
We have entered into a complex joint venture relationship to provide our products and
services to the clients of WPP Group plc (or WPP Group plcs affiliates). Pursuant to the terms of the joint
venture and associated agreements, we have issued warrants to purchase our common stock to WPP and
may be required to issue additional warrant based on the future performance of the joint venture.
In the event the joint venture were to be successful, the number of warrants issued could be
substantial. The ability of WPP to receive the right to purchase a substantial portion of our
capital stock could discourage third parties from attempting to acquire us, which could depress our
stock price. In addition, in the event the dilution caused to our stockholders by this
relationship is not outweighed by the addition of LiveWorld revenue resulting from the joint
venture our stock price could fall. Finally, the maximum total number
of warrants that may be required to be issued under this relationship
is 53% of the fully diluted share count of the company in 2010. However, the exact number of warrants that may be issued over the
term of the agreement cannot currently be calculated, as it depends on a number of factors,
including the amount of LiveWorld revenue resulting from the joint
venture, and the number of shares of
our capital stock that are issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of options, warrants
or convertibles securities over the next four years. Specifically, the number of warrants WPP would earn would increase if the percentage
of our overall net revenue attributable to our joint venture increases or if the number of our shares outstanding (or issuable upon
exercise or conversion of our convertible securities) increases. As an example if the percentage of our net revenue contributed by the
joint venture remained constant, but the number of shares of our
common stock issued or issuable increased by 10% the number of warrants WPP could
be entitled to would increase by approximately 6.7%. The inability to determine with certainty the
exact number of warrants to be issued in the future may make it more difficult for investors to
determine the value our common stock.
Peter Friedman is currently our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and sole director, and if he
were to be unable or unwilling to continue in these roles, we would need to find a replacement,
which could be difficult, costly and distracting to our business.
Peter Friedman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, also serves as our sole board
member. We do not have plans to expand our board of directors. Because we have no independent
directors, we do not have an independent audit, compensation or corporate governance committee. We
are not required to have independent committees under applicable law or the listing requirements of
the market on which our stock trades or on the OTC Bulletin Board, where we intend to apply to have
our shares listed in the future. In the event Mr. Friedman were to be unable or unwilling to continue to
serve as a director, which could occur with little or no advanced warning, we would need to find a
replacement, which could cause a material disruption to our business. In addition, certain
investors may be unwilling to invest in us because we do not have independent board members or
independent committees, which could depress the price of our common stock.
-13-
A significant portion of our capital stock or rights to acquire capital stock are held by a
small group of people and entities whose interests may be different than other investors.
A significant portion of our capital stock and rights to acquire capital stock are held by a
small group of people and entities. For example, as of March 31,
2007, Peter Friedman, our
Chief Executive Officer, Jenna Woodul, our EVP Chief Community Officer and Chris Christensen, our
EVP of Engineering and Operations together owned or had rights to acquire in excess of 25% of our
outstanding capital stock, while Jay Friedman owned or had rights to
acquire 7.3% of our outstanding capital stock. Funds affiliated with Allegis Capital owned approximately 7.7% of our
outstanding stock and Jeffrey Easton owned approximately 10.1%.
The significant ownership of the people and entities may allow them to exert significant
influence over many, if not all, of the Companys major decisions for the foreseeable future. In
addition, the possibility that WPP might acquire substantial warrants and in turn possibly
substantial stock in LiveWorld may discourage third parties from attempting to acquire significant
ownership stakes. This may have the effect of depressing the price of our equity securities.
We may make strategic acquisitions or investments, which involves numerous risks, including
the risk that we might pay too much for an acquisition or investment, that any transaction could
distract management and that the failure to successfully integrated an acquired business could harm
us and our stock price.
As part of our strategy to expand our services and revenues, we may acquire or make
investments in businesses, joint ventures, technologies, services or products we view as
complementary. Identifying suitable acquisition or investment candidates at reasonable prices or
on reasonable terms may be difficult, and the failure to do so could harm our growth strategy. If
we do acquire a company or make other types of acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating
the acquired services, personnel or technologies. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing
business, distract our management and employees, and increase our expenses. As a result the
failure to consummate potential acquisitions or investments, or to integrate them into the business
properly could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating
results.
Any system failure or slow down could significantly harm our reputation and damage our
business.
System failures would harm our reputation and reduce our attractiveness to clients. Our
ability to attract potential clients will depend significantly on the performance of our network
infrastructure. In addition, a key element of our strategy is to effectively perform services for
clients in order to increase their usage of our services. Usage of our online services could
strain the capacity of our infrastructure, resulting in a slowing or outage of services and reduced
traffic to clients web sites. We may be unable to improve our technical infrastructure in
relation to increased usage of our services. In addition, the users of the systems we
deploy for our clients depend on Internet service providers, online service providers and
other web site operators for access to our web sites. Many of these providers and operators have
also experienced significant outages in the past, and they could experience outages, delays and
other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems. We provide our clients with a
service level agreement guarantees which, in some cases, if not met result in financial penalties
that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating
results.
-14-
We depend on third-party software to deliver specified aspects of our services.
Our
flagship product the LiveWorld Community Center, as well as, the Live Forum product have a significant reliance on third party software. If software purchased from third parties to perform aspects of our services does not function
properly or is not updated, or the contractual relationships were to end, we would need to purchase
new software from other third-party providers or develop replacement software on our own. Even
though the third-party software we currently use would likely be replaceable through other
third-party providers or developed internally, doing so would likely require increases in operating
expenses and could cause a disruption in our business. This could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
If our business becomes more highly regulated, we may not be able to pursue our business model
and our business could be substantially harmed.
Although few laws or regulations exist that specifically regulate communications on the
Internet, the government might implement laws that result in more significant or different types of
regulation. Any new legislation or regulations or the application of existing laws and regulations
to the Internet could limit user volume and increase operating expenses. In addition, the
application of existing laws to the Internet is uncertain and may take years to resolve and could
expose us to substantial liability for which we might not be indemnified by the content providers
or other third parties. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and operating results. Existing laws and regulations currently, and new laws and
regulations are likely to address a variety of issues, including the following:
|
|
|
User privacy and expression; |
|
|
|
|
The rights and safety of children; |
|
|
|
|
Information security; |
|
|
|
|
The convergence of traditional channels with Internet commerce; and |
|
|
|
|
Taxation and pricing. |
If Internet growth slows due to proposals to regulate Internet service providers in a way
similar to long distance telephone carriers, the demand for our services could decline. The use of
the Internet has burdened the existing telecommunications infrastructure and led to interruptions
in phone service in areas with high Internet use. Several telecommunications companies and local
telephone carriers have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate Internet
service providers and online service providers in a manner similar to long distance telephone
carriers and to impose access fees. If this were to occur, the costs of communicating on the
Internet could increase substantially, potentially slowing the growth in use of the Internet.
We may be exposed to liability for publishing or distributing content over the Internet.
We may be subject to claims relating to content that is published on or downloaded from our
web site or the web sites we operate for our clients. We also could be subject to liability for
content that is accessible from our web site through links to other web sites. Although we carry
general liability, multimedia liability and errors and omissions insurance, our insurance may not
cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to cover all costs incurred in defense
of potential claims or to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed. In addition, any
claims like this, with or without merit, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and operating results.
-15-
The disclosure or misuse of data we collect could harm our business.
If third parties were able to penetrate our network security or otherwise misappropriate our
users personal information, we might be subject to liability. These could include claims for
impersonation or other similar fraud claims.
In addition, we currently use personal information we collect about the users of the services
we provide to clients for internal information and to share with those clients to determine how to
improve our services, applications and features, and to provide clients with feedback. These
practices are limited by each clients privacy policies. We could be subject to liability claims
by clients users for misuses of personal information by the clients, such as for unauthorized
marketing purposes. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission has previously investigated various
Internet companies regarding their use of personal information. We could incur additional expenses
if new regulations regarding the use of personal information are
introduced or if our privacy
practices are investigated. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and operating results.
We may be subject to litigation over intellectual property rights, and any such litigation
could be costly, involve significant distraction of management, and have an uncertain outcome.
Other parties may assert claims of infringement of intellectual property or other proprietary
rights against us. These claims, even if
without merit, could require us to expend significant financial and managerial resources.
Furthermore, if claims like this were successful, we might be required to change our trademarks,
alter our content or pay financial damages, any of which could substantially increase our operating
expenses. We also may be required to obtain licenses from others to refine, develop, market and
deliver new services. We may be unable to obtain any needed license on commercially reasonable
terms or at all, and rights granted under any licenses may not be valid and enforceable. In the
future we could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course
of our business, including claims of alleged infringement of trademarks and other intellectual
property rights of third parties by us and our licensees. Any such claims could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Overview
We
build, operate (application hosting), and moderate private label online social network and
community services for clients who use these services to generate dialogue and relationships with
and among their customers and other constituencies. Clients use these services for loyalty
relationship marketing, customer support and business intelligence. Our services consist of the
following products delivered on a complete end-to-end or modular basis:
Professional Services: Professional Services include development and set-up of standard
systems; customization of the standard system and internationalization and localization.
Professional Services also include consulting and design services that provide expertise in
developing social networking/community brand definition, web site design focusing on community
architecture, and online community management.
Application Hosting: Application Hosting includes operating applications on our system
infrastructure on behalf of our clients. These applications include:
|
|
|
The LiveWorld Community Center, which is an integrated social network/online
community that includes expressive profiles (user name, photo, interests, blog, user
video, photo albums, guestbooks, and friends lists), message forums, polls, community
galleries, and community calendars. |
|
|
|
|
Standalone services such as blogs, user videos, message forums, groups, chats and
live events (interactive webcasts). |
Community
Management Services: Community Management Services include
creative and client management services to help design,
organize, manage, oversee and evolve the feature, content, and user participation aspects of an
online community.
Moderation Services: Moderation Services include standard policing, topical and editorial
moderation. Moderators are trained personnel that read and view user content for adherence to web
site guidelines, and take appropriate action when content violates those guidelines. Such action
might include permitting, hiding (or deleting), or escalating such content to a supervisor.
Moderation can also involve trained personnel leading topical discussions, or selecting or editing
site content for featured display.
Reporting Services: Reporting Services provide clients with metrics and analysis of the
online community.
-17-
For a majority of our clients we provide our services through our flagship product, the
LiveWorld Community Center, which combines a full range of social networking and community services
into an integrated branded community (For a detailed description of
this product please see the Section Application Hosting
mentioned above). Our services include working with our clients to develop
their basic social networking/community brand definition, their overall site design with an
emphasis on the community architecture, development and setup of the social network/community site,
ongoing application hosting operations, moderation, community management and reporting.
For other clients, we provide only the specific modules they request. For example, we may
provide moderation services deployed on a clients in-house or third party platform or
alternatively we may simply provide application hosting with the client using our tools to moderate
the service themselves. For some clients we only provide message forums and for others we only
provide support for live events such as online interactive webcasts.
We
offer our services to end user clients as well as advertising agencies. We recently
entered into a non-exclusive joint venture with WPP pursuant to which
we formed Live World-WPP, L.L.C. we also entered into a sales
representative agreement in connection with the joint venture to market our products and services to WPP
clients. Pursuant to this joint venture, WPP has the opportunity to earn warrants to purchase our
capital stock based on the joint ventures contribution to our total revenue. Although WPP is
under no contractual obligation to introduce us to WPP clients, we believe our relationship with
WPP provides us access to companies that need and embrace online social networks and community
services. We further believe that this relationship enhances our overall market visibility and
credibility.
From July of 1999 through May 2001, our common stock was listed on
the Nasdaq national market. In December 2002, we elected to
deregister our common stock with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The decision to de-list our common stock was primarily
based on our attempts to reduce costs during the unfavorable economic
climate at the time.
Total Revenues
Our business is primarily based on building recurring revenue streams through the operations
of private label online social network and communities for our clients. Our revenues are derived
principally from two sources (i) service development and set-up revenues and (ii) operations
revenues.
We
define service development and set-up work as follows: Service development revenues are fees
we charge for customizing the standard service we provide to our
clients. Set-up
revenues are fees charged for setting up the services based on our standard menu of services
provided; and add-ons, or enhancements fees we charges for any additional customized work the
client requests after we have begun to provide the services to our client. Development and set-up
revenues are paid upfront but recognized ratably as the operational service is provided.
We define operation fees as follows: Application hosting revenues are fees we charge
for hosting their community on our servers and these fees are generally based on pageviews
per month; community management revenues are fees derived from services provided to the client on a
monthly basis to manage the community and the community needs of the
customer, generally involving a
monthly minimum fee for a specified minimum volume of hours with any additional time being charged
on an hourly rate; and moderation revenues are fees we charge our clients for moderating their
community. These revenues are recognized monthly as the services are delivered.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues is comprised of direct costs associated with the sales of online social
network and community services to clients; the expense associated with the development, set-up and
operation of communities, including expenses associated with server costs for hosting the
communities, license fees for specified aspects of our platform used to develop the standard set-up
for clients, as well expenses associated
-18-
with any custom development the client may desire; and the
cost of providing moderators and any enhancements the client may request after the community has
been set up. These expenses consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes, benefits and related
expenditures for development, set-up, additional add-ons enhancements or upgrades, as well as,
software license fees, hardware costs, and salary and related moderation expenses.
Operating Expenses
Product Development. Product development expenses consist primarily of salaries, payroll
taxes, benefits and related expenditures for technology, software development, project management
and support personnel. Costs related to the development of new products and enhancements to
existing products are charged to operations as incurred.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, payroll
taxes, benefits and related expenditures for sales and marketing, as well as the community
management, which are costs associated with account management and client services.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses are the consolidated expenses
of the operations, facilities, finance, human resources, legal and other administrative functions.
The expenses associated with these functions consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes,
benefits, professional fees, and related expenditures for our overall management and
administration.
Stock Based Compensation. Stock based compensation expenses include amounts related to the
grant of options and warrants to employees and non-employee service providers.
Warrant
Expense. We entered into a warrant purchase agreement with WPP on July 7,
2006. We and WPP have entered into a non-exclusive joint venture
relationship that is
being conducted through a limited liability company pursuant to a limited liability company
operating agreement, effective July 7, 2006. We have issued WPP a warrant to
purchase one million shares of our common stock at a per
share exercise price of $1.00 and a warrant to purchase one million shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $1.10. The fair value of the warrants was deemed to
be approximately $761,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These warrants were fully
vested at issuance, and as such were expensed in the period.
Additionally, we have agreed to issue warrants to WPP for 2007
through 2010, subject to the performance of the joint venture and we
intend to expense those warrants as necessary.
Other Income (Expense). Other income consists primarily of interest earned on cash and cash
equivalent balances, net of interest expense, the gain or loss on the sale of equipment, and any
settlement income.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was approximately (1.6%), 1.5%, and (5.3%) for fiscal year 2004, fiscal year 2005, and
fiscal year 2006. The provision for income taxes reflects the credit for the net operating loss
in 2004, the minimal state income taxes on earnings in 2005, and the income taxes due to states
where we did not have any operating loss carryforwards available in 2006. We are able to reduce
our current federal tax liability with net operating loss carryforwards. Due to uncertainties
surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards in the
future, we have established a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.
-19-
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on
our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities.
On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our revenue
recognition. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that
we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We have identified the accounting policies below as the policies critical to our business
operations and the understanding of our results of operations. We believe the following critical
accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements:
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS
No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123(R)
supersedes APB 25, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123(R)
generally requires share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options and other equity awards, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on
their fair values. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) requires the benefits of tax deductions in
excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather
than as an operating cash flow as prescribed under previous accounting rules. Our financial
statements as of and for fiscal year end December 31, 2006, reflect the impact of adopting
FAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective method, the financial statements
for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of FAS
123(R).
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of
the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations during for the fiscal year end
December 31, 2006 included compensation expense for stock-based payment awards granted
subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimate in accordance
with FAS 123(R). As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of
operations for the fiscal year end December 31, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to
vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. FAS 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 pro forma information
required under FAS 123 for the periods prior to 2006, we accounted for forfeitures as they
occurred. When estimating forfeitures, we consider historic voluntary termination behaviors
as well as trends of actual option forfeitures. In anticipation of the impact of adopting FAS
123(R), we accelerated the vesting of all outstanding stock options in December 2005 resulting
in a total of 19,181,827 options outstanding and fully vested. The primary purpose of the
acceleration of vesting was to minimize the amount of compensation expense recognized in
relation to the options in future periods following the adoption by the Company of FAS 123(R).
Since we accelerated these shares, the impact of adopting FAS 123(R) included approximately
$110,000 for the fiscal year end December 31, 2006, and
approximately $67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect the adoption of FAS 123 (R) will
have a material impact on the Companys results of operations for the foreseeable future.
Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R) on January 1, 2006 the Company accounted for its
stock-based compensation arrangements with employees using the intrinsic-value method pursuant
to
-20-
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. As such, compensation expense is initially measured on the date of grant to the
extent the fair value of the underlying common stock exceeds the exercise price for stock
options or the purchase price for the issuance or sales of common stock. Pursuant to SFAS No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation the Company discloses the pro forma effects of
using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R). Certain options
are subject to variable award accounting and, as such, compensation expense is re-measured at
each balance sheet date based on the change in fair value of the common stock.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to employee and
non-employee options of approximately $770,000 and $513,000 during the years ended December
31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB No. 104). Under SAB No. 104, we recognize revenue when
the following criteria have been met:
|
|
|
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
|
|
|
|
the fees are fixed or determinable; |
|
|
|
|
no obligations remain; and |
|
|
|
|
collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. |
We
define service development and set-up revenues as follows: service development revenues
are fees we charge for customizing the standard service we provide to our clients.
Set-up revenues are fees charged for setting up the services based on our standard menu of
services; and add-ons or enhancement revenues are fees we charges for any additional customized
work the client requests after we have begun to provide the service to our client. Development
and set-up revenues are paid upfront but recognized ratably as the
operational service is provided.
We define operation revenues as follows: Application hosting revenues are fees we charge
for hosting their community on our servers and these fees are generally based on
pageviews per month; community management revenues are fees derived from services provided to
the client on a monthly basis to manage the community and the
community needs of the customer,
generally involving a monthly minimum fee for a specified minimum volume of hours with any
additional time being charged on an hourly rate; and moderation revenues are fees we charge our
clients for moderating their community. These revenues are recognized monthly as the services
are delivered.

Fiscal
Years Ended December 31, 2004, 2005, and 2006 and the Three
Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2007
Total Revenues
Our revenues increased from approximately $5.2 million in fiscal year 2004 to $9.6 million in
fiscal year 2005, representing an increase of 84%. Revenues increased primarily as a result of
increased sales of our product offerings, including new clients, larger projects, increased prices,
and more revenue per client.
Our revenues increased from approximately $9.6 million in fiscal year 2005 to $9.8 million in
fiscal year 2006, representing an increase of 2%. Revenues increased primarily as a result of
increased sales of services to our non- AOL US clients, which represented growth of 32%
year-over-year, which was offset in part by the decrease in AOL US revenues which dropped 27%
year-over-year. Of our two major projects for AOL US the first project represented approximately
$3.0 million in revenues in fiscal 2005, approximately $1.0 million in revenue in fiscal 2006 and
will represent zero revenue in fiscal 2007. Additionally, the second
AOL US project represented approximately $2.6 million in revenues for fiscal 2006 and we
expect that project to decline to approximately $1.5 million in fiscal year 2007. We expect our
total revenues from AOL US to decline from approximately $3.6 million in fiscal year 2006 to
approximately $1.5 million in fiscal year 2007, and to
approximately $900,000 in fiscal year 2008 as a result of changes in AOL US needs for our
services. We anticipate that the loss of this revenue will be offset in part or in full by additional
revenues from new contracts and projects with our existing clients or new clients, and will not
have a material impact on our operations.
Revenues from clients excluding AOL US and eBay increased 74% in fiscal year 2005 compared to
fiscal year 2004, and increased 45% in fiscal 2006 from fiscal 2005.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, revenues from AOL US comprised approximately 36%
of our total revenues and eBay accounted for approximately 31% of our total revenues, or combined
these two clients account for 67% of the total revenues for 2006 while all other clients
represented 33% of our total revenues.
Our revenues increased from approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006 to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 representing an increase of 5%
period-over-period. The growth of our revenues was driven by the increase in non AOL US revenues
which grew 55% period-over-period, or approximately $685,000 from $1.2 million to $1.9 million,
which was offset in part by the decrease in AOL US revenues, which dropped 47% period-over-period.
AOL US was approximately $1.2 million, or 49% of total revenues for the three months ended March
31, 2006 and reduced to approximately $647,000, or 25% of total revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 2007. We expect our total revenues from AOL US to decline in both absolute dollars and as
a percentage of revenues for fiscal 2007 and 2008. eBay was approximately $706,000, or 29% of
total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and increased 10% to approximately
$780,000 or 30% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 Revenues from clients excluding AOL US and eBay
increased 112% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 or approximately $611,000 from
$545,000 to $1.2 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, revenues from AOL US accounted for approximately
25% of our total revenues and eBay represented approximately 30% of our total revenues, while all
other clients represented 45% of our total revenues for the period.
-22-
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was approximately $1.9 million, or 36% of total revenues in 2004, and $4.2
million, or 43% of total revenues in 2005. This represents an increase of 124%. The increase in
absolute dollars was primarily a result of an increase in revenues, as well as increases in direct
costs including costs associated with delivering more custom work per client, and increases in
moderator payroll and systems infrastructure associated with the delivery of services.
Our cost of revenues decreased from approximately $4.2 million in fiscal 2005 to $3.9 million
in fiscal 2006, representing a decrease of 5%. The decrease was primarily the result of our
reductions in costs associated with the end of the above described first project for AOL US. We
anticipate that costs of revenues will change approximately in proportion to changes in our
revenues.
Cost of revenues was approximately $1.0 million, or 42% of total revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 2006, and $1.0 million, 41% of total revenues for the three month ended March 31,
2007. This expense remained relatively flat period-over-period as moderation expense decreased and
was offset by increased expenses for custom work for clients.
Operating Expenses
Product
Development. Product development costs were approximately $784,000, or 15% of
total revenues in 2004, and $1.4 million, or 14% of total revenues in 2005, representing an
increase of 74%. Product development expenses were approximately $1.8 million in 2006, or
18% of total revenues, which represented an increase of approximately 29% year-over-year.
In fiscal years 2005 and 2006, spending related to our development efforts increased
primarily as a result of continued improvements to our product offerings. The majority of
these costs were personnel related, including salary costs, as we have hired employees in
connection with the ongoing development and enhancement of our products and services. We
are committed to our product development efforts and expect product development expense
will continue to increase in future periods. Such efforts may not result in additional new
products and any new products may not generate sufficient revenue, if any, to offset the
expense.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 product development costs were approximately
$340,000, or 14% of total revenues, and $596,000, or 23% of total revenues, which represented an
increase of 75%. The majority of these costs were personnel related, including salary costs, as we
have hired employees in connection with the ongoing development and enhancement of our products and
services.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing costs were approximately $975,000, or 19% of
total revenues in fiscal year 2004, and $1.5 million, or 15% of total revenues in fiscal
year 2005, representing an increase of approximately 50%. In fiscal year 2005, these sales
and marketing expenses increased as a result of our efforts to provide additional services
(and associated community management services) to existing and new clients, as well as
increased sales and marketing program efforts to develop new revenues with existing and new
clients.
Sales and marketing expenses were approximately $1.8 million in fiscal year 2006, or
19% of total revenues, which represented an increase of approximately 26% year-over-year.
In fiscal year 2006, these sales and marketing expenses increased primarily as a result of
additional community management headcount, as well as, increased marketing expenses to
develop relationships with new clients.
The substantial majority of these expenses in fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006 were
associated with our ongoing community management services, which are the costs associated
with the servicing of existing clients, as opposed to those costs derived from new business
development. Expenses in sales activity and marketing activities to attract new clients
were minimal. We expect sales and marketing costs to increase as we further develop our
sales efforts of private label online social network and community services to new clients.
In addition, if our product development efforts are successful and new products or
services are created, we may incur increased sales and marketing expense to promote these
products or services to new and existing clients.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 sales and marketing costs were approximately
$520,000, or 21% of total revenues, and $589,000, or 23% of total revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 2007, which represented an increase of 13%. The majority of these costs were
personnel related, mostly relating to client service management, including salary costs, as well
as, increased marketing expenses associated with new client development.
-23-
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were approximately
$1.3 million, or 26% of total revenues in fiscal year 2004, and $1.7 million, or 17% of
total revenues in fiscal year 2005, representing an increase of approximately 26%.
In 2005, general and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of
increased headcount, and salaries, and depreciation expense associated with expanding our
infrastructure. In 2006, general and administrative expenses were approximately $2.6
million, or 26% of total revenues, representing an increase of approximately 52%
year-over-year.
The increase was primarily a result of additional expenses associated with new hires
and salary increases, depreciation expenses associated with infrastructure expansion, costs
for outside consultants reviewing our stock option plan and increased legal and audit fees.
We expect in the near future for the general and administrative expenses to increase in
absolute dollar terms. We anticipate an increase in general and administrative expenses as
a result of the addition of new personnel in administrative departments, the legal and
accounting fees required for the preparation of the filings to begin trading on the over
the count market, fees to prepare the quarterly and annual reports required to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, we believe that meeting the
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will add additional overhead expenses and result in
increases in our general and administrative expense of both in terms of absolute dollars
and as a percentage of total revenues, resulting in reduced earnings in future periods.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 general and administrative expenses were
approximately $501,000, or 20 % of total revenues, and $908,000, or 35% of total revenues for the
three months ended March 31,2007, which represented an increase of 81%. The majority of the
increased general and administrative expenses are related to increases in personnel costs, and the
legal and auditing fees associated with the preparation of the filings to begin trading on the over
the counter market.
Stock Based Compensation. Stock based compensation expenses were approximately
$770,000, or 15% of total revenues in fiscal year 2004, and $513,000, or 5% of total
revenues in fiscal year 2005. This expense was a result of issuing options in prior years
to employees that had an exercise price below the fair market value on the grant date,
which resulted in variable expense accounting treatment.
The stock based compensation expenses were approximately $110,000 for fiscal year
2006, or 1% of total revenues, which represented a decrease of 79% year-over-year. This
was the result of having the vesting on all outstanding stock options accelerated such that
all options were fully vested as of December 31, 2005. This action was taken in
anticipation of the accounting rule changes that took effect on January 1, 2006. The
action was taken to simplify the accounting for the related stock options and to simplify
the accounting of stock option expense as of January 1, 2006 and forward.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 the stock based compensation expenses were approximately
$500 and approximately $67,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in the
stock based compensation expense is a result of our accelerating all stock options issued prior to
December 31, 2005 thereby reducing our stock based compensation expense to zero. As we issued new
options the resulting expense has grown over time to its current level. We are currently looking to
have a new stock plan approved by shareholders and if it is approved we anticipate the continued
increase in stock based compensation.
We plan to continue offering stock options to our employees generally priced at the
fair market price on the grant date. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised), Share-Based
Payouts (FAS123R), to account for stock-based compensation this is expected to increase
our operating expenses and consequently reduce earnings in future periods.
Warrant
Expense. We issued WPP a warrant to purchase one
million shares of our common stock, in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2006, at a
per share exercise price of $1.00 and a warrant to purchase one million shares
of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $1.10. The fair value of the warrants was
deemed to be approximately $761,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These
warrants were fully vested at issuance, and as such were expensed in the third quarter of
fiscal 2006. Additionally we have agreed to issue warrants to WPP for 2007 through
2010, subject to the performance of the joint venture, and we intend to expense those
warrants as necessary.
-24-
Other Income (Expense)
In fiscal year 2004, other income consisted primarily of net interest income of
approximately $12,000. In fiscal year 2005, other income consisted primarily of net
interest income of approximately $46,000, settlement income of $203,000, which was the
settlement with the Sparks Group less the associated legal fees and other expenses
resulting from the settlement, and a loss on the sale of computer equipment of
approximately $62,000. In fiscal year 2006, the other income consisted primarily of net
interest income of approximately $138,000, and miscellaneous income of approximately
$67,700 resulting from the settlement of the TalkCity estate.
In
December 1999, we executed
two agreements with an online dating service company
called SocialNet Incorporated. The first agreement called for LiveWorld to invest $3,000,000 in
SocialNet, and the second agreement was an operating agreement under which SocialNet would purchase
$500,000 per year of our services over a three year period. Subsequently SocialNet was
acquired MatchNet PLC, which later changed its name to Spark Networks. After the
acquisition, we had a dispute over the amount of money
owed to us under the operating agreement. In July of 2001
we filed an action against SocialNet and MatchNet PLC as a result of the disputed monies
owed to us. In February of 2005 we entered into a settlement
agreement where by we were paid $400,000 to settle our complaint with the Spark Group.
Additionally, we expensed approximately $218,000 for legal fees and other expenses
incurred with the settlement.
In
May, 2001 we sold our assets associated with its talkcity.com site to MyEsp, which
subsequently renamed itself Talk City, Inc. At this time we changed
our name back to
our. The agreements included an operating contract under which MyEsp (Talk City) would pay
us $900,000 per year to operate the talkcity.com site. In late 2001 MyESP (Talk City)
defaulted on its payments to us and in January 2002, MyESP (Talk City) filed for bankruptcy.
During the MyESP (Talk City) bankruptcy proceedings and under the supervision of the court,
we were required to continue to provide services to MyESP (Talk City) and in turn to incur
substantial operating expenses to provide services to MyESP (Talk City), as well as legal fees to
manage its role in the case. We incurred approximately $500,000 in operational costs and
$600,000 in legal fees in this matter. Ultimately the court ruled
that we should be
reimbursed for a portion of these costs, but the MyESP (Talk City) estate liquidated without having
sufficient funds to make any payments to us. We were was able to reclaim most of the
computer equipment we had sold to MyEsp and in 2006 received approximately $67,000 payment as its
share of the estates liquidation. As the $67,000 was payment for money owed LiveWorld for services
provided it was recorded as miscellaneous income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 other income consisted of net interest income of
approximately $46,000.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was approximately (1.6%) for fiscal year 2004, 1.5% for fiscal
year 2005, and (5.3%) for fiscal year 2006. The provision for income taxes reflects the
credit for the net operating loss in 2004, the minimal state income taxes on earnings in
fiscal year 2005 and the income taxes due in states where we did not have any operating
loss carryforwards available in 2006. We are able to reduce our current federal tax
liability with net operating loss carryforwards. Due to uncertainties surrounding the
timing of realizing the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards in the future, we
have established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 our effective tax rate was approximately 13% and
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 our effective tax rate was approximately (2%). The
provision for income taxes reflects the credit for the net operating losses, the minimal state
income taxes on earnings in fiscal year 2006 and the income taxes due in states where we did not
have any operating loss carryforwards available in 2006. We are able to reduce our current federal
tax liability with net
operating loss carryforwards. Due to uncertainties surrounding the timing of realizing the
benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards in the future, we have established a full
valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total assets were approximately $2.1 million at December 31, 2004, $3.2 million at
December 31, 2005 and $5.9 million at December 31, 2006. This represented an increase of $1.1
million, or 54% in fiscal year 2005 and an increase of $2.7 million, or 87% in fiscal year 2006.
This increase was primarily the result of the generation of cash, the increase in the accounts
receivable from the business and the use of part of that for the purchase of system infrastructure, which we use to provide our services.
Our total assets were approximately $5.9 million at December 31, 2006 and $5.4 million at
March 31, 2007. This represented a decrease of approximately $461,000, or 8% from December 31,
2006. This decrease was primarily the result of our reducing the accounts receivable balance which
was slightly offset by our generating cash during the period.
Our accounts receivable balance was approximately $589,000 for fiscal year 2004, $817,000 for
fiscal year 2005, and $1.2 million for fiscal year 2006, representing an increase of approximately
$228,000, or 39% in 2005, and $405,000, or 50% in fiscal year 2006. This increase was primarily a
result of an increase in revenue from 2004 to 2005, and the increase in the days sales outstanding
in 2006. The days sales outstanding, or DSO, was 41 days as of December 31, 2004; 31 days as of
December 31, 2005; and 45 days as of December 31, 2006. For the majority of our revenue
(operations services) we invoice on the first of the month for the coming months services, with
net 30 days payable terms. Our clients historically have typically paid on time and we rarely have
had a client not pay the full amount due.
For the three March 31,2007 our accounts receivable balance was approximately $729,000 which
decreased by approximately $492,000 from the ended December 31, 2006, or a decrease of
approximately 40% period-over-period. This decrease was a direct result of the reduction in our DSO
for the period. The DSO as of December 31, 2006 was 45 days and this decreased to 25 days for the
period ending March 31, 2007, or a decrease of approximately 44%. We do not anticipate
maintaining our DSO at this level in the future as we would expect to see our accounts receivable
levels increase as we increase our client base.
Our total current liabilities were approximately $726,000 as of December 31, 2004 and $684,000
as of 2005, representing a decrease of 6%. This decrease consists primarily of a decrease in
accounts payable. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily due to suppliers requiring aggressive payment
terms. Our total current liabilities were approximately $1.4 million as of December 31, 2006,
representing an increase of 105% year-over-year. This increase was due primarily to the increase
in accounts payable from approximately $61,000 in 2005 to $343,000 in 2006, or an increase of 462%;
the increase in deferred revenue from approximately $242,000 in 2005 to $527,000 in 2006, or an
increase of 118%; and we used capital leasing in 2006 for the first time establishing the current
portion of the capital lease for approximately $53,000 in 2006.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 our total current liabilities were approximately $ 1.5
million which increased by approximately $108,000 from the period ending December 31, 2006,
representing an increase of approximately 8% period-over-period. This increase was due primarily
to the increase in accounts payable from approximately $343,000 for the period ending December 31,
2006 to $534,000 for the period ending Marching 31, 2007, or an increase of 56%. This was slightly
offset by decreases in the accrued salaries from approximately $91,000 to $27,000.
At
March 31, 2007 we had $3.3 million in cash. We believe that our existing cash
balances combined with cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our
operating and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.

We have incurred long term debt of approximately $121,000 for capital equipment as of
December 31, 2006. Net cash from operating activities was approximately $395,000 for the
fiscal year 2004, $1.1 million for fiscal year 2005 and $641,000 for the fiscal year 2006.
These net cash from operating activities differ materially from the operating income or
(loss) of approximately ($487,000) for fiscal year 2004, $447,000 for fiscal year 2005, and
($1,144,000) for fiscal year 2006. The differences are due primarily to the stock-based
compensation expense, warrant expense, the depreciation expense, and the various changes in
our operating assets and liabilities. We anticipate that we will continue to issue stock
options to our employees and issue warrants to WPP, which we anticipate will continue to
have material impacts on our earnings.
Our long term debt for capital equipment has
decreased from approximately $121,000 at December
31, 2006 to approximately $108,000 at March 31, 2007. Net cash from operating activities was
approximately $347,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and was approximately $204,000 for
the three months ended March, 31, 2007. The net cash from operating activities differs materially
from the operating income or (loss) of approximately $70,000 and
($625,000) for the respective
periods. The differences are due primarily to the stock-based compensation expense, warrant
expense, the depreciation expense, and the various changes in our operating assets and liabilities.
Our primary use of cash is operating expenses related to the delivery of the private
label online social network and community services. We anticipate hiring additional staff
to develop additional sales channels, to support the delivery of services to clients, and
maintain our general and administrative needs. These expenses included but are not limited
to salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, related expenditures and professional fees.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was approximately ($350,000) in fiscal
year 2004, ($682,000) in fiscal year 2005 and ($819,000) in fiscal year 2006. This represented an
increase of our investment activity of approximately $332,000, or 95% from 2004, to 2005 and
$137,000 or 20% from 2005 to 2006. Our investing activities in 2004, 2005, and 2006 consisted
primarily of the purchase and sale computer hardware and software to be used in our ongoing
operations. We anticipate increasing our investment in hardware and related equipment to be
approximately $500,000 in fiscal year 2007.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 the net cash used in investing activities was
approximately ($128,000) and was ($342,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Our
investing activities consisted primarily of the purchase of computer hardware and software for the
use in our ongoing operations.
Our operating leases for rent of facilities are up to 36 month obligations, but are not
material expenses. In October of 2006 the Company entered into a master lease agreement for
equipment for operations with Bank of America. The total available line is $800,000. As of December
31, 20006, we have committed to approximately $174,000 of equipment on the lease agreement with
payments of approximately $5,000 per month for thirty-six months. We believe the cash
generated by operations will be more than sufficient to make the payments on the capital lease. The
following table provides the contractual obligations the company has committed to as of December
31, 2006:

In the future, we may strategically seek to take advantage of opportunities in the equity and
capital markets to raise additional funds in order to take advantage of opportunities that may
become available to us, including expansion of operating activities and acquisition of businesses,
products or technologies, or otherwise to respond to competitive pressures. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all.

Our
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization
stock based compensation, and warrant expenses (Adjusted EBITDA),
were approximately
$401,000, or 8% of total revenues, $1.3 million, or 14% of total
revenues, and $255,000, or 3% of
total revenues, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The increase in
fiscal year 2005 Adjusted EBITDA as compared to fiscal 2004 was a result of the increase in revenues. The
reduction in fiscal 2006 Adjusted EBITDA as compared to fiscal year 2005 was a result of an increased spending
for product development and general and administrative cost.
Our Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $169,000, or 7% of total revenues, for the three month
period ending March 31, 2006 and was ($437,000), or (16%) of total revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 2007. This reduction in Adjusted EBITDA is
related to increases in personnel costs.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or
loss with an add-back for depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense,
non-cash based warrant expense, interest income net, other income and income taxes. The following
table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the reported net income or loss:

Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for managements discretionary use and is not
intended to represent cash flow from operations. Adjusted EBITDA has
limitations and should not be construed as a substitute for
net loss or as a better measure of liquidity than cash flow from operating activities, which are
determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) and therefore Adjusted EBITDA should be
used as supplemental information.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes components that are significant in understanding and assessing our results of
operations and cash flows. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined by GAAP and as a result our
measure of Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
However, Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate, assess and benchmark our
performance as a service provider, net of any expenses or income not
related to the delivery of our services. We believe understanding the
costs directly related to the delivery of our services is beneficial
to the management of the company. Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful information, which is often reported and
widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties as a
measurement of the delivery of a product or service. Accordingly, we
are disclosing this information to permit a more comprehensive analysis of our operating
performance, to provide an additional measure of performance and liquidity and to provide
additional information with respect to our ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditure
and working capital requirements.
Our Adjusted EBITDA financial information is also comparable to net cash provided by operating
activities. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP disclosure of net cash provided by (used
in) operating activities:

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.
Item 3. Description of Property
Our principal offices are located in a single facility in San Jose, California of
approximately 2,400 square feet held under a multi-year lease expiring in 2009. We believe that
our facilities are generally in good condition and sufficient to meet our present needs and that
additional space will be available as needed.
We do not have a formal written investment policy, however, historically we have not invested
in real estate, real estate mortgages or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in
real estate activities and have no current intention to do so in the future.
Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of
our common stock as of April 27, 2007, for: each person known by us to beneficially own more than
5% of our
common stock; each of our named executive officers; our director; and all of our executive
officers and directors as a group.
As used in this table, beneficial ownership means the sole or shared power to vote, or to
direct the voting of, a security, or the sole or shared investment power with respect to a security
(i.e., the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, a security). The percentage shown
is based on 30,682,810 shares of common stock issued and outstanding
as of April 27, 2007. In computing the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by a person, shares of common
stock subject to options and/or warrants currently exercisable, or
exercisable within 60 days of April 27, 2007,
are counted as outstanding, but these shares are not counted as outstanding for computing the
percentage ownership of any other person.

Assumptions made in the valuation pursuant to FAS 123R are discussed in note 3 to the
financial statements. |
Our 1996 Stock Option Plan provides for stock options to be granted to employees,
independent contractors, officers, and directors. The 1996 Stock Option Plan has expired, and no additional grants may be made under it. We generally
grant options at an exercise
price equal to the stocks fair market value at the date of grant, as determined by our Board of
Directors. All options are granted at the discretion of the our Board of Directors and have a term
not greater than ten years from the date of grant. Options issued generally, vest ratably over four
years, 25% one year after the grant date and the remainder at a rate
of 1/36 per month thereafter. In June 2007, our stockholders approved
our 2007 Stock Plan, and any future stock options are expected to be
made pursuant to the 2007 Stock Plan.
Each of the option grants set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above have a term of ten
years and were granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our stock on the
day of the grant.
In
February 2007, we conducted a company-wide salary review that included compensation
changes for multiple employees. In connection with this review our management team including Messrs. Friedman, Christensen, and
Houston and Ms. Woodul reviewed compensation paid to executives
at comparable companies (Aquantive and Liveperson) along with
our historical financial performance. As a result of this review, we changed Mr. Friedmans salary to $350,000, Ms. Wooduls salary
was changed to $225,000 and Mr. Christensens salary was changed to $225,000.
We do not have long-term employment agreements with any of our executive team or any employee.

The outstanding options reported in this table are subject to the following vesting
schedule: 25 % of the options vest twelve months after the vesting commencement date and
1/48th of the options vest each month thereafter, unless a specific vesting
schedule is described in the related footnote, and provided that the named executive
officer remains a service provider. |

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Except as disclosed below, none of our directors or executive officers, nor any proposed
nominee for election as a director, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly,
shares carrying more that 5% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding shares, nor
any member of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) of
any of the foregoing persons has any material
interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction over the last two years or in any presently
proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us.
On January 28, 1998 we
entered into an early exercise agreement and a note receivable with Mr. Dembecki, our Vice President of
Moderation Services. This agreement allowed for exercise of a total of 20,000 unvested options, and the loan
was secured by those shares. As of December 31, 2006 he was indebted to the Company under the note totaling
$5,400 due January 28, 2008, plus accrued interest of $3,555. The note bears an interest rate of 6.04%
compounded semi-annually. Since the substance of the loan is an option and granting an option does not
give rise to an asset, we have not recorded the issuance of stock and the receipt of a loan.
On January 28, 1998
we entered into an early exercise agreement and a note receivable with Ms. Dembecki, our Director of Client
Services. This agreement allowed for exercise of a total of 5,000 unvested options, and the loan was secured
by those shares. As of December 31, 2006 she was indebted to the Company under the note totaling $1,400 due
January 28, 2008, plus accrued interest of $922. The note bears an interest rate of 6.04% compounded
semi-annually. Since the substance of the loan is an option and granting an option does not give rise to an
asset, we have not recorded the issuance of stock and the receipt of a loan.
On
May 10, 2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with
DragonBridge Capital LLC, an entity affiliated with Barry Weinman.
Mr. Weinman is affiliated with Allegis Capital, one of our major
stockholders. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, we agreed to pay
retainer of $60,000, to be paid at $5,000 per month. The agreement
terminates in May 2007. Pursuant to the agreement, DragonBridge would
be entitled to certain additional fees in the event a joint venture
was established and funded in China. We do not anticipate these
additional fees will be earned under the agreement.
In
July 2006, we entered into a joint venture with WPP. Pursuant to the
joint venture we formed an LLC, LiveWorld-WPP, L.L.C., to market and
sell our products and services to WPP Group plc clients. WPP Group plc is one of the worlds leading
marketing and communications firms and includes in its company
portfolio JWT, Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, Y&R, The
Voluntarily United Group, Grey Worldwide, MindShare, MediaCom,
Mediaedge:cia, Millward Brown, Research International, KMR Group,
OgilvyOne Worldwide, Wunderman, 141 Worldwide, Hill & Knowlton,
Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, Burson-Marsteller, Cohn &
Wolfe, CommonHealth, Sudler & Hennessey,
Ogilvy Healthworld, Enterprise IG, Landor and Fitch among
others.
LiveWorld
and WPP each contributed $250,000 to fund the joint ventures
operations. We also entered into a sales representative agreement
pursuant to which the joint venture will market and sell our
products and services. In addition, to paying commissions to the joint venture
on sales it makes, we also entered into an agreement that provides
for the granting of a substantial number of warrants to WPP to
purchase our common stock. Specifically, at the formation of the
joint venture we granted a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
our Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.00 and an
additional warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock
at a per share exercise price of $1.10. The warrants
are exercisable for a period of ten years.
We
further granted WPP the opportunity to earn a substantial number
additional warrants based on the performance of the joint venture in
generating revenue for LiveWorld for each of the years 2007, 2008,
2009, and 2010. Under these terms, WPP might earn additional warrants
based on the percentage of LiveWorlds revenue that is
attributable to the joint venture and the number of shares of capital
stock outstanding or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of
other securities.
-34-
The formula for
determining the number of warrants we will issue is complex. In summary, the number of warrants issued is
determined by multiplying the percentage of our net revenue that is attributable to the joint venture by
66 2/3% and multiplying the resulting percentage by the number of our shares that are then outstanding,
assuming the exercise of all options and warrants and the conversion of all convertible securities.
However, the number of warrants issuable is further subject to the following limitations:
For 2007, the aggregate number
of warrants issued to date to WPP cannot exceed 10% of the number
of shares of LiveWorld stock that is then outstanding or issuable upon the exercise of
all outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of all convertible securities; for 2008,
that limit increases to 20%, and for 2009 the limit is 30%. In 2010, the
maximum total number of warrants that may be required to be issued
under this relationship is 53% of the fully diluted share count of
the company.
The exercise price of the warrants to be
issued in the future varies and the price at which our stock
has traded during a thirty day period prior to the warrants issuance. The exercise prices are, however,
subject to the following minimum exercise prices: the greater of either (i) 55% of the then
market price or (ii) for each of the following years: $1.10 for the 2007 warrant; $1.20 for the 2008
warrant; $1.30 for the 2009 warrant and $1.40 for the 2010
warrant.
The agreements with WPP are complex, and the above descriptions are
summary in nature. We strongly urge that these agreements be read in their entirety to understand the terms of our relationship with WPP.
Although we believe these agreements with WPP may prove to be highly beneficially to LiveWorld and our stockholders, they can also result in
the issuance of warrants to purchase a substantial portion of our capital stock.
As a result, the ownership of our existing stockholder might be severely diluted in the event the joint venture is highly successful in selling
our products and services to WPP and its affiliates.
In June 2000, we loaned $100,000 to
Ms. Woodul, the Executive Vice President and Chief Community Officer and a LiveWorld co-founder to assist
her in buying a home. The interest rate on the loan was four percent (4%), compounded
annually, and the loan could be extended indefinitely
for
periods of three years. The loan was collateralized by the shares of
common stock owned by Ms. Woodul. As of December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2005, the outstanding
balance on the loan, including accrued interest, was $97,066, and $89,031 respectively. Effective
December 11, 2006, Ms. Woodul sold 190,599 shares of LiveWorld stock to the Company at a then market
price of $0.536 per share and used the proceeds to pay off the outstanding loan amount of $75,598 and thereby retire the loan in its entirety.
In June 2000, we loaned Mr. Bernstein, our Vice President of Engineering and Chief
Scientist, and a LiveWorld co-founder, $250,000 in order to assist him in buying a home. The
interest rate on the loan was six point five percent (6.5%), compounded annually. The loan is
collateralized by the shares of common stock owned by Mr. Bernstein. As of December 31, 2006, the
outstanding principal balance on the loan has been paid in full and the accrued interest was $12,061. This
remaining interest balance is being paid off by Mr. Bernstein via monthly payroll deductions.
On November 13, 2006, we repurchased 190,000 shares of our Common Stock from Mr. Christensen, our Executive Vice President of Engineering and Operations at $0.535 per share.
This transaction was undertaken to enable Mr. Christensen to pay off a loan from the company
associated with his 1996 early exercise of stock options (for the 190,000 shares) which was due
in full in November, 2006. Mr. Christensen used the proceeds of the sale to pay off this
loan.
On September 11, 2006, we sold an aggregate of 3,676,470 shares of our common stock to several
purchasers in a private placement transaction. These purchasers also obtained the right to include
those shares in certain registrations that we may, at our option, undertake in the future. In this
sale WPP purchased 2,435,666 of shares. In addition, on December 22, 2006, WPP purchased an
additional 190,000 shares of our common stock at $0.535 per share. In addition, the following
individuals, each of whom is affiliated with Allegis Capital or affiliates of Allegis Capital, also
purchased our common stock in this transaction:

Item 8. Description of Securities
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2007, there
were 30,682,811 shares of our common stock outstanding, held
by approximately 201 holders of record and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share of each share held of record on
all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to
any preferred stock that may be issued in the future, holders of our common stock are entitled to
receive ratably such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out
of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, the folders of our common stock are
entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to
prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.
-35-
Holders of our common stock have no cumulative voting rights, preemptive or conversion rights
or other subscription rights. There are no redemption of sinking fund provisions applicable to our
common stock. The rights, references and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to,
and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the folders of shares of any series of preferred
stock, which we may designate and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors may fix by resolution the designations, powers, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of each class of shares of the preferred stock, including the voting rights, dividend
rate, conversion rights, redemption price, liquidation preference, and the number of shares of any
such series. Our board of directors may increase or decrease the number of shares of any such
series (but not below the number of shares of such series then issued). In case the number of
shares of any such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease will resume
the status which they had prior to the resolution or resolutions originally fixing the number of
shares of such series. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing our change of control. We have present plans to issue any shares of
preferred stock.
Anti-takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Delaware Law
Pursuant to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the business combination
statute, we are prohibited, as a public company, from engaging in a business combination with an
interested stockholder (defined as any person who acquires 15% or more of our common stock) for a
three-year period following the date that such person became an interested stockholder, unless, (i)
prior to the date the person became a interested stockholder, our board of directors approved
either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder; or (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the persons
becoming an interested stockholder, that person on owned 85% of our voting stock, excluding certain
shares owned by corporate insiders and shares issued after the transaction commenced; or (iii) at
or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by our board of directors and
authorized by the affirmative vote of holders of 66% of our outstanding voting stock that is not
owned by the interested stockholder. Section 203 defines business combinations to include the
following; any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
any sale transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation
involving the interested stockholder; subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results n
the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested
stockholder; any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the
proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by
the interested stockholder; or the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any
loans, advances, guarantees, pledge or other financial benefits provided by or through the
corporation.
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially
owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person
affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any of these entities or persons. A Delaware
corporation may opt out of this provision either with an express provision in its original
certificate of incorporation or in an amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws
approved by its stockholders. However, we have not opted out, and do
not currently intend to opt out of this provision. The statute could prohibit or delay
mergers or other takeover, or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts
to acquire us.
-36-
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors may issue up to five
million shares of one or more series of preferred stock for such corporate purposes as the board of
directors may determine, without any further action by our stockholders. Our certificate of
incorporation also provides that our board of directors has the power to adopt, amend or repeal our
bylaws. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in
control of our company.
Our bylaws provide that only our board of directors may call a special meeting of
stockholders. In addition, our bylaws contain advance notice procedures with respect to business
to be transacted at annual meetings of stockholders. Advance notice must not only be timely
received, but must be in proper written form, as set forth in our bylaws. Pursuant to our
certificate of incorporation, eight of our initial directors cannot be removed from the board
without cause during their initial two-year term of office.
These provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have an anti-takeover
effect and may delay, defer, or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt by another party.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
American Stock Transfer & Trust company is the transfer agent and registrar for our common
stock.

We intend to make application to the NASD for our shares to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board. The application to the NASD will be made during the comment period for this Form 10-SB. Our
application to the NASD will consist of current corporate information, financial statements and
other documents required by Rule 15c211 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Inclusion on the OTC Bulletin Board permits price quotation of our shares to be published by such
service.
Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in penny stocks. Penny stock are generally equity securities with a market price of
less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or
quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange of system. The penny stock rules
require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level
of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains
a description of the brokers or dealers duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies
available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the
securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including
bid and ask prices for
penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a
toll-free telephone number for inquiries of disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in
the disclosure
-38-
document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks: and (f) contains such other
information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require
by rule of regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the
customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the
broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid
and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the
market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny
stock held in the customers account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that
the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written
acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to
transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability
statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our
common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately 201 holders of record of our common stock and
additional stockholders hold shares in street name.
Dividends
We have never declared or paid dividends on its common stock. We intend to retain earnings,
if any, for the operation and expansion of our business, and therefore do not anticipate paying
cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
The following table provides information as of March 31, 2007 about our common stock that
may be issued upon the exercise of options granted to employees, consultants or our board of
directors under all existing equity compensation plans including the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the
1999 Director Option Plan.

The issuance of
securities described above were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance
on Rule 701 of the Securities Act. Rule 701 limits the amount of securities that may be sold in reliance
upon the exemption. Specifically, Rule 701 provides that the aggregate sales price of securities sold in
reliance upon Rule 701 must not exceed the greatest of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$1,000,000; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15% of the total assets of the issuer; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15% of the outstanding amount of the class of securities being offered
and sold in reliance on Rule 701,
measured at the issuers most recent balance sheet date. |
|
During each
consecutive 12-month period from July 9, 2004 until April 25, 2006, the aggregate sales price being
offered and sold in reliance of Rule 701 was less than $1,000,000. During each subsequent period,
the aggregate sales price of securities during each consecutive 12-month period was less than 15% of
LiveWorlds outstanding common stock.
The issuance of the
following securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on
Regulation D, promulgated pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On July 7, 2006, we issued a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our

Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our bylaws include provisions permitted under Delaware General Corporation Law relating to the
liability and indemnification of our directors and officers. Under these provisions, we will
indemnify any director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action by reason of the fact that the person was or is one of our
directors or officers against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action,
provided that the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she believed
to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of LiveWorld, Inc., and with respect to any criminal
action, had no reasonable cause to believe the persons conduct was unlawful. These provisions
provide that we may indemnify any of our associates or agents to the same extent that we are
required to indemnify our directors and officers.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers and
certain of our officers and employees. These agreements provide, among other things, that we will
indemnify our directors, executive officers and certain officers and employees for certain expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director,
executive officer, officer or employee who has entered into an indemnification agreement in any
action or proceeding arising out of such persons services as one of our directors, executive
officers, or officers or employees, as the case may be, or any of our subsidiaries or any other
company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these
indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as our directors
and executive officers and as officers and employee. The SEC has noted, however, that in the
opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we maintain directors
and officers liability insurance coverage.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
Board of
Directors and Stockholders
LiveWorld, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of LiveWorld, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005, and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LiveWorld, Inc. as of December 31, 2004,
2005, and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005, and 2006 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As
discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, in 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payments.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
unaudited interim financial information furnished herein reflects all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the
opinion of management are necessary to fairly state LiveWorlds
financial position, the results the Companys operations and its
cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such
information presented not misleading. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to SEC
rules and regulations; nevertheless, management of the Company
believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006
contained in this Form 10-SB. The results of operations for the
period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for any other interim period of the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2007.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenues
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)
No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements when the following criteria have
been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or
determinable, no obligations remain, and collection of the related receivable is
reasonably assured.
The Company has certain contracts which are multiple element arrangements and
provide for several deliverables to the customer that may include service development,
community set-up, on-line community hosting, on-line community management, moderation
services, and consulting. Accordingly, these contracts are accounted for in accordance
with EITF No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF No. 00-21
requires that the Company assess whether the different elements qualify for separate
accounting. Because the Company does not believe that service development and community
set-up activities have value to the customer on a standalone basis,
this element does not qualify for separate accounting. Accordingly,
fees received from service development and
set-up activities are combined with the amounts allocable to the relevant
undelivered item(s) within the contract. All other elements qualify for separate
accounting and have objective and reliable evidence of fair value.
Revenues from service development and community set-up activities are deferred and
are recognized ratably over the related service portion of the contract. Revenues from
on-line community hosting, on-line community management, moderation services, and
consulting are recognized as the services are provided.
Cost of Revenues -Cost of revenues is comprised of direct costs associated with the
sales of online social network and community services to clients; the expense associated
with the development, set-up and operation of communities, including expenses associated
with server costs for hosting the communities, license fees for specified aspects of our
platform used to develop the standard set-up for clients, as well expenses associated
with any custom development the client may desire; and the cost of providing moderators
and any enhancements the client may
request after the community has been set up. These expenses consist primarily of
salaries, payroll taxes, benefits and related expenditures for development, set-up,
additional add-ons enhancements or upgrades, as well as, software license fees, hardware
costs, and salary and related moderation expenses.
Cash and cash equivalents Investment securities with a maturity of ninety days or
less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents.
F-7
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and
do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net
cash provided by operating activities in the statements of cash flows.
Accrued
Development and Set-up - Accrued development and set-up is the
work in process asset associated with the contracts for
setting up a community for our clients.
Accrued Liabilities Accrued liabilities are recorded for salaries, wages,
vacation time earned but not taken, taxes, and commission for employees, as well as,
accrued legal fees, audit fees, fees due to officers, and other general accrued expenses
for the Company.
Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue is the amount associated with the initial
service development and set-up of the community for our clients. These service
development and set-up revenues are paid upfront but recognized ratably as the
operational service contract is recognized.
Property
and Equipment Property, furniture, equipment, and
leasehold improvements are stated at
historical cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which the company currently believes is
three years.
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No.
109, Accounting fro Income Taxes which utilizes the liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Companys balance sheet includes the
following financial instruments: cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
accrued liabilities. The Company considers the carrying amount of working capital items
to approximate the fair value for these financial instruments because of the relatively
short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected
realization.
Product Development Product development expenses consist primarily of salaries,
payroll taxes, benefits and related expenditures for technology, software development,
project management and support personnel. Costs related to the development of new
products and enhancements to existing products are charged to operations as incurred.
Software development costs are required to be capitalized when a products technological
feasibility has been established by completion of a working model of the product. To
date, completion of a working
model of the Companys products and general release have substantially coincided.
As a result, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs because such
costs have not been significant.
Sales and Marketing -Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries,
payroll taxes, benefits and related expenditures for sales and marketing, as well as the
community management which are costs associated with account management and client
services.
General and Administrative General and administrative expenses are the
consolidated expenses of the operations, facilities, finance, human resources, legal and
other administrative functions. The expenses associated with these functions consist
primarily of salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, professional fees, and related
expenditures for our overall management and administration.
Earnings Per Share Basic income or loss per share is computed using the net
income or loss and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted income per share is computed using the net income and the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive potential
F-8
common shares outstanding during
the period. Potential dilutive common shares include, for some or all of the periods
presented, outstanding stock options and warrants. The computation of diluted income per
share does not assume conversion, or exercise of securities that would have an
anti-dilutive effect on earnings. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and
warrants is computed using the treasury stock method. In 2004 there were 18,558,494
outstanding options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock; in 2005 there were
19,181,827 outstanding options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock; in
2006 there were 23,576,777 outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of the
Companys common stock; and for the three months ended March 31,
2007 there were 23,401,777 outstanding options and warrants to
purchase shares of the Companys common stock.
Additionally the 23,401,777 options and warrants issued as of March
31, 2007 were excluded from the determination of diluted net loss per
share as their effect is anti-dilutive.

The outstanding options of 18,558,494 and options and warrants of 23,576,777 for
2004 and 2006 respectively are excluded from the determination of diluted net loss per
share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the
Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalent balances consist of deposits and money
market funds held with a local commercial bank. Deposits in the United States may
exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions
that hold the Companys investments are financially credit worthy and, accordingly,
minimal credit risk exists with respect to those investments.
The Companys accounts receivable are derived primarily from customers who have
signed contracts with the Company, for the Company to provide Community venues for the
customer. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, does not
require collateral and does maintain allowances for potential credit losses when deemed
necessary. In 2004 AOL US and eBay accounted for 42% and 38% of total revenues
respectively; in 2005 AOL US and eBay accounted for 51% and 26% of total revenues
respectively; in 2006 AOL US and eBay accounted for 36% and 31% of total revenues
respectively, and no other client represented greater than 10% of total revenues for the
Company in any year. For the
three months ended March 31, 2007, AOL US represented approximately
25% of total revenues and eBay represented 30% of total revenues and
no other client represented greater than 10% of total revenues for
the period.
Comprehensive Income or Loss- The Company has no significant components of other
comprehensive income or loss, and accordingly, the comprehensive income or loss is the
same as the net income or loss for all periods.
Allowances
for Doubtful Accounts -The Companys allowance for accounts uncollectible
have been approximately $24,000 and $8,000, and $0 in 2004, 2005, and
2006 respectively. For the
three months ended March 31, 2007 the allowance for accounts
uncollectible was $0.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may
arise if any of its customers are unable to make required payments. Management
specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience,
customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payments terms when making estimates
of the uncollectibility of the Companys accounts receivable balances. If the Company
determines that the
F-9
financial conditions of any of its customers deteriorated, whether
due to customer specific or general economic issues, an increase in the allowance will
be made. Accounts receivable are written off when all collection attempts have failed.
Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting The Company has one operating segment because it is not
organized by multiple segments for purposes of making operating decisions or assessing
performance. The chief operating decision maker evaluates performance, makes operating
decisions, and allocates resources based on financial data consistent with the
presentation in the accompanying financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, which supplements Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the confidence level
that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial
statements. FIN 48 requires the tax effect of a position to be recognized only
if it is more-likely-than-not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits
as of the reporting date. If a tax position is not considered more-likely-than-not
to be sustained based solely on its technical merits, no benefits of
the position are recognized. If the tax position is
considered more likely than not to be sustained, the amount to record
is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is grater than 50%
likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
This is a different standard for recognition than was previously required. The more-likely-than-not
threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period to
support continued recognition of a benefit. At adoption, companies must
adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be
sustained as of the adoption date. Any necessary adjustment is recorded
directly to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption and reported as a change in accounting principle. We adopted the
provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN
48, we reduced our deferred tax assets reported as of December 31,
2006 by $714,000. The reduction was fully offset by a valuation
allowance and therefore an adjustment to the beginning balance of
retained earnings was not recorded.
Our policy is that we recognize interest and penalties
accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of
income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48,
we did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor
was any interest expense recognized during the quarter. Our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory
rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses and is offset somewhat
by state tax credits.
In September 2006, the
Securities and Exchange Commission published Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). The
interpretations in SAB 108 are being issued to address diversity in practice in
quantifying financial statement misstatements and the potential under current practice
to build up improper amounts on the balance sheet. This guidance
applies to fiscal
years ending after November 15, 2006 and early application in interim periods is
encouraged. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157
(FAS 157), Fair Value Measurements, which
defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements.
FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but
rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior
accounting pronouncements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. We
are currently evaluating the impact of FAS 157, but do not
expect the adoption of FAS 157 to have a material impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at
fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair
value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. We are currently
evaluating the impact of adopting this Statement.
4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which
establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges
its equity instruments for employee services. A key provision of this statement is the
requirement of a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments (including stock options) based ion the
grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during
which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (i.e., the
requisite service period of vesting period). The statement requires companies to assess
the most appropriate model to calculate the value of the options. The Company currently
uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value options which is consistent with
the valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures
required under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation, as amended by
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure. The
use of a different model to value options may result in a different fair value than the
use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In addition, there are a number of other
requirements under the new standard that would result in different accounting treatment
than currently required. These differences include, but are not limited to, the
accounting for the tax benefit on employee stock options and the presentation of these
tax benefits within the consolidated statement of cash flows. In addition to the
appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the Company
will also be required to determine the transition method to be used at date of adoption.
The allowed transition methods are the prospective and retroactive adoption
alternatives. The prospective method requires
F-10
that compensation expense be recorded for
all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of
adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive method requires companies to record
compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with
the first disclosed period restated. The Company adopted FAS 123(R)
using the modified prospective method.
With respect to the Company, which is a small business issuer, this statement became
effective on January 1, 2006.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No.
123. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB 25, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash
Flow. SFAS No. 123(R) generally requires share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options and other equity awards, to be recognized in the
statement of operations based on their fair values. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R)
requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess
of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather
than as an operating cash flow as prescribed under previous accounting rules. The
Companys financial statements as of and for fiscal year end December 31, 2006 reflect
the impact of adopting FAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective method,
the financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not
include, the impact of FAS 123(R).
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value
of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations during the
fiscal year end December 31, 2006 included compensation expense for stock-based payment
awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value
estimate in accordance with FAS 123(R). As stock-based compensation expense recognized
in the statement of operations for the fiscal year end December 31, 2006 is based on
awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. FAS
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 pro forma information required under FAS 123 for the periods prior to 2006, the
Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. When estimating forfeitures, the
Company considers historic voluntary termination behaviors as well as trends of actual
option forfeitures. In anticipation of the impact of adopting FAS 123(R), the Company
accelerated the vesting of all outstanding stock options in December 2005 resulting in a
total of 19,181,827 options outstanding and fully vested. The primary purpose of the
acceleration of vesting was to minimize the amount of compensation expense to be
recognized in relation to the options in future periods following the adoption by the
Company of FAS 123(R). The impact of adopting FAS 123(R) includes approximately
$110,000 and $67,000 of stock option expense for options granted in fiscal 2006, for the fiscal year
end December 31, 2006 and for the three months ended March 3, 2007. The Company expects the adoption of FAS 123 (R) will have a
material impact on the Companys results of operations for the foreseeable future.
Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R) on January 1, 2006 the Company accounted for
its stock-based compensation arrangements with employees using the intrinsic-value
method pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees. As such, compensation expense is initially measured on the
date of grant to the extent the fair value of the underlying common stock exceeds the
exercise price for stock options or the purchase price for the issuance or sales of
common stock. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation the
Company discloses the pro forma effects of using the fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005,
prior to adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R). Certain options are subject to variable award
accounting and, as such, compensation expense is re-measured at each balance sheet date
based on the change in fair value of the common stock.
The Companys 1996 Stock Option Plan provides for stock options to be granted to
employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors. Prior to Year 2004, options
were generally granted at an exercise price which approximates eighty-five percent (85%)
to one hundred percent (100%) of the estimated fair market value per share at the date
of grant, as determined by the Companys Board of Directors. Since 2004 options have
generally been granted at one hundred percent (100%) of their estimated fair market
value per share at the date of grant, as determined by the Companys Board of Directors.
All options are granted at the discretion of the Companys Board of Directors and have a
term not greater than ten (10) years from the
F-11
date of grant. Options granted in 2001,
2002 and 2003 generally vest monthly and evenly over twenty-four (24) months from the
date of grant or, in some cases, immediately upon grant. Options issued after 2003,
generally had a vesting schedule such that they vested ratably
over four (4) years, twenty-five (25%) one (1) year after the grant date and the
remainder at a rate of 1/36 per month thereafter. The Company follows the straightline method of accounting to record
the expense for options that have graded vesting.
The shareholders approved, on May 19, 2000, the Companys Amended and Restated 1996
Stock Option Plan which changed the annual evergreen increase by a number of shares
equal to the lesser of (i) 2,000,000 shares, (ii) seven percent (7%) of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Board.
The Board of Directors approved, on April 23, 1999, a 1999 Director Option Plan
reserving 250,000 shares of common stock for issuance and an amendment and restatement
to the 1996 Plan increasing the shares of common stock reserved for issuance by 750,000.
In January 2002, the Board of directors granted new stock options and re-priced
stock options under the 1996 Stock Option Plan. The fair value of the common stock on
the date granted was $0.04. The options were made to existing employees, members of the
Board of Directors and advisors and amounted to 5,297,500 options with an exercise price
of $0.034 per share. Of these, 735,000 vested immediately and the remainder vested
ratably over approximately twenty (20) to twenty-four (24) months. Concurrently with the
granting of these shares, 4,827,500 options with a weighted average exercise price of
$0.08 were cancelled. Granting of the new re-priced options required the holders of
existing options to cancel their current options in order to receive the new options
with a lower exercise price. For the options reissued, the Company used variable award
accounting.
Additionally in January 2002, the Company granted options under the Stand-Alone
Agreement to purchase 4,975,000 shares at $0.01 per share to senior executives, advisors
and members of the Board of Directors. These options were granted outside of the 1996
and 1999 stock options plans and vested over 24 months. During the year ended 2002, an
additional 1,812,084 option shares were cancelled.
In December 2005, the Board of Directors revised upwards the price of most stock
options issued in 2004 and 2005 that were originally issued at a price below fair market
value, to be equal to the fair market value of the options on the date of grant. This
action was taken in response to the government passage of Rule 409a and was taken
following IRS guidance.
Determining Fair Value
Valuation Method - The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model and a single option award approach.
Expected Term - The expected term represents the period the Companys stock-based awards
are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience with similar
awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting
schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of
its stock-based awards.
Expected Volatility a volatility of 100% was used as an estimate of the expected future
volatility of the Company. Because trading of the stock is so thin, calculating the volatility
based on daily market trades was not considered to be representative of future price movements
when the stock is listed. The Company looked at the volatility of
other companies which the
Company judges to be similar based on industry. These companies had
volatility ranging from 89 to 135. A factor of 1.0 was chosen based
on historical data and on the similar companies.
Risk-Free Interest Rate - The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation
method is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury securities with an
equivalent remaining term.
F-12
Expected Dividend - No dividends are expected to be paid.
Estimated Forfeitures - When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary
termination behavior as well as analysis of actual option forfeitures.
The Company estimated the fair value of its stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model, by using the following assumptions for the options granted during the fiscal year ended

Stock Options - The
Companys 1996 Stock Option Plan provides for stock options to be
granted to employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors. Options are generally
granted at an exercise price equal to the stocks fair market value at the date of grant, as
determined by the Companys Board of Directors. All options are granted at the discretion of the
Companys Board of Directors and have a term not greater than ten years from the date of grant.
Options issued generally vest ratably over four years, 25% one year after the grant date and
the remainder at a rate of 1/36 per month thereafter.

The Company uses the intrinsic value-based method to account for all its employee
stock based compensation arrangements prior to January 1, 2006. Under this method, an
amount representing the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the
underlying common shares at the date of grant is recorded as deferred compensation in
the period granted. For non-employee options, deferred compensation is recognized at the
date of grant using the estimated fair value of the options granted, calculated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
F-13
The Company recognized stock based compensation expense related to employee and
non-employee options of approximately $770,000 and $513,000 during the years ended
December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

As of December 31, 2006, there was approximately $864,000 of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted
under the 1996 plan and stand alone option grants. This cost is expected to be
recognized over a four year period. The total fair value of shares vested during 2006
was zero. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal year end
December 31, 2004, was approximately $193,000; during the fiscal year end December 31,
2005, was approximately $110,000; and during fiscal year end December 31, 2006, was
approximately $191,000.
The following pro forma information regarding stock-based compensation has been
presented as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair
market value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of employee options was estimated at the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
F-14
model with the following weighted
average assumptions: (i) a dividend yield of zero percent (0%) for all periods; (ii)
expected volatility of one hundred percent (100%) and one hundred percent (100%) for
2004 and 2005 respectively; (iii) risk-free interest rate of four percent (4.0%) and
four point seven (4.7%) for 2005 and 2004 respectively; (iv) an expected life of four
(4) years.
The pro forma information for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 required

6. EQUITY INVESTMENT
In
July 2006, we entered into a non-exclusive joint venture with
WPP Group plc (through
its subsidiary, J. Walter Thompson U.S.A., Inc., or WPP) where each party is a 50%
owner in the joint venture (see Note 9). Pursuant to the joint venture we formed an
LLC, LiveWorld-WPP, L.L.C., to market and sell our products and services to WPP clients
with and/or through WPP agencies. WPP Group plc is one of the worlds leading marketing and
communications firms and includes in its company portfolio JWT, Ogilvy & Mather
Worldwide, Y&R, The Voluntarily United Group, Grey Worldwide, MindShare, MediaCom,
Mediaedge:cia, Millward Brown, Research International, KMR Group, OgilvyOne Worldwide,
Wunderman, 141 Worldwide, Hill & Knowlton, Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide,
Burson-Marsteller, Cohn & Wolfe, CommonHealth, Sudler & Hennessey, Ogilvy Healthworld,
Enterprise IG, Landor and Fitch among others. Upon the setting up of the joint venture
and the hiring of a Chief Executive Officer of the joint venture each partner made a
capital contribution of $250,000 to joint venture.
F-15
The Company has reviewed its operations to determine if the LiveWorld-WPP entity is
required to be consolidated under FIN 46-R. As a result of this review, the Company did
not consolidate its investment in the LiveWorld-WPP, LLC, a joint venture created in
July of 2006, and instead will use the equity method to recognize its investment in the
joint venture.
7. CAPITAL LEASE AGREEMENT
Master Lease Agreement In October of 2006 the Company entered into a master lease
agreement for equipment with Bank of America. The total available line is $800,000. As
of December 31, 2006 the Company has committed to approximately $174,000 of equipment
on the lease agreement with payments of $5,134 per month for thirty-six (36) months.
As of December 31, 2006, the future minimum lease payments under noncancelable

8. CREDIT FACILITY
Line
of Credit In December 2006 the Company entered into a one year credit facility with
Bank of America which provides for borrowing of up to $550,000 at an annual interest
rate equal to the banks prime rate plus one percentage point (1%). The credit facility
is collateralized by the Companys assets and expires in November 2007. The credit
facility contains financial and reporting covenants that require the Company to maintain
certain financial ratios only when the Company has an outstanding balance. There were
no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2007.
9. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Common Stock - The Company had 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and
26,551,222 shares of common stock issued and outstanding for the fiscal year end
December, 31 2004; 26,816,889 shares of common stock issued and outstanding for the
fiscal year end December, 31 2005; and 31,063,410 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding, which included 380,599 of treasury shares, for the fiscal year end
December, 31 2006.
On
September 11, 2006, we sold an aggregate of 3,676,470 shares of our
common stock to several purchasers in a private placement
transaction. These purchasers also obtained the right to include
those shares in certain registrations that we may, at our option,
undertake in the future. In this sale WPP purchased 2,435,666 of shares. In addition, on December 22, 2006, WPP purchased an additional
190,000 shares of our common stock at $0.535 per share. In addition, the following individuals, each of whom is affiliated with Allegis Capital or affiliates of Allegis Capital, also purchased our common stock in this transaction:

Warrants
- In July 2006, we entered into a joint venture with WPP,
creating Live World - WPP L.L.C., where upon each party contributed
$250,000 to fund the joint ventures operations. In addition we
entered in to a sales representative agreement and pursuant to this
agreement, LiveWorld-WPP, L.L.C., was appointed to market and sell our products
and services to WPP clients with and/or through WPP agencies. WPP
group plc is one of the worlds
leading marketing and communications firms and includes in its company portfolio JWT,
Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, Y&R, The Voluntarily United Group, Grey Worldwide, MindShare,
MediaCom, Mediaedge:cia, Millward Brown, Research International, KMR Group, OgilvyOne
Worldwide, Wunderman, 141 Worldwide, Hill & Knowlton, Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide,
Burson-Marsteller, Cohn & Wolfe, CommonHealth, Sudler & Hennessey, Ogilvy Healthworld,
Enterprise IG, Landor and Fitch among others.
In addition, we entered into an agreement that provides for the granting of a
substantial number of warrants to WPP to purchase our common stock. At
the signing of the sales
representative agreement there were no future obligations or
requirements to be met by WPP, and therefore the warrants were
fully vested upon signing the joint venture and sales
representative agreements. We granted a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
our Common Stock at a per share
exercise price of $1.00 and an additional warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
our Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $1.10. The warrants are exercisable
for a period of ten years. The fair value of the warrants was deemed to be approximately
$761,000. The fair value of warrants was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) a dividend yield
of zero percent (0%) for all periods; (ii) expected volatility of one hundred percent
(100%); (iii) risk-free interest rate of five point fourteen percent (5.14%); (iv) an expected life of
ten (10) years. These warrants were fully vested at issuance and
as such were expensed in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
F-16
We further granted WPP the opportunity to earn a substantial number additional
warrants based on the performance of the joint venture in generating revenue for
LiveWorld for each of the years 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. Under these terms, WPP
might earn additional warrants based on the percentage of LiveWorlds revenue that is
attributable to the joint venture and the number of shares of capital stock
outstanding or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of other securities.
For 2007, the aggregate number of warrants issued to date to WPP cannot exceed
10% of the number of shares of LiveWorld stock that is then outstanding or issuable
upon the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of all
convertible securities; for 2008, that limit increases to 20%, and for 2009 the limit is
30%. In 2010, the maximum total number of warrants that may be
required to be issued under this relationship is 53% of the fully
diluted share count of the company.
On March 6, 2007 the Company retired the 380,599
shares it had as treasury stock.
10.
RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings and retirement plan for
substantially all of its employees in the United States. Employees meeting the
eligibility requirements may contribute specified percentages of their salaries to this
plan up to a statutory maximum amount. Under the plan, which is qualified under Section
401(k) of the federal tax laws, the Companys Board of Directors, in its sole
discretion, may make discretionary matching contributions to the plan. To date, the
Company has not made any contributions to the plan.
11. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes was approximately ($8,000) for the fiscal year end
December 31, 2004, $10,000 for the fiscal year end December 31, 2005, and $51,000 for
the fiscal year end December 31, 2006.

The Companys effective tax rate differs from the statutory rates, primarily due to
tax benefits for operating losses. A reconciliation of the expected U.S. Federal tax
expense attributable to income from continuing operations differed from the amounts
computed by applying the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate to pretax gain or loss from
continuing operations as follows:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the
financial statement and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in
taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable
to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce tax assets to the amount expected to
be realized. Significant components of the Companys net deferred tax assets are as
follows at December 31, 2006:

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of
$120,765,940 and $98,420,047 for federal and state net operating loss carryforwards,
available to offset future taxable income which expire in varying amounts beginning in
2016 and 2007, respectively. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the
favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company placed a full valuation
allowance against its net deferred tax assets. The net change in the valuation
allowance was an increase of approximately $113,000 in 2004, an increase of
approximately $629,000 in 2005, and an increase of approximately $33,000 in 2006.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 our effective tax rate was approximately 13%
and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 our effective tax rate was approximately (2%).
The provision for income taxes reflects the credit for the net operating losses, the minimal
state income taxes on earnings in fiscal year 2006 and the income taxes due in states where
we did not have any operating loss carryforwards available in 2006. We are able to reduce our
current federal tax liability with net operating loss carryforwards. Due to uncertainties
surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards in the
future, we have established a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On January 28, 1998 we entered into an early exercise agreement and a note receivable with Mr. Dembecki, our Vice President of Moderation Services. This agreement allowed for exercise of a
total of 20,000 unvested options, and the loan was secured by those
shares. As of March 31, 2007
he was indebted to the Company under the note totaling $5,400 due January 28, 2008, plus accrued
interest of $3,555. The note bears an interest rate of 6.04% compounded semi-annually. Since the substance of the loan is an option
and granting an option does not give rise to an asset, the Company has not recorded the issuance of stock and the receipt of a loan.
On January 28, 1998 we entered into an early exercise agreement and a note receivable with Ms. Dembecki, our Director of Client Services. This agreement allowed for exercise of a total of 5,000
unvested options, and the loan was secured by those shares. She was
indebted to the Company under the note totaling $1,400 due January 28, 2008, plus accrued interest
of $922. The note bears an interest rate of 6.04% compounded semi-annually. Since the substance of the loan is an option
and granting an option does not give rise to an asset, the Company has not recorded the issuance of stock and the receipt of a loan.
In June 2000,
we loaned $100,000 to Ms. Woodul, the Executive Vice
President and Chief Community Officer and a LiveWorld co-founder in order to assist
her in buying a home. The interest rate on the loan was four percent (4%), compounded
annually, and the loan could be extended indefinitely for periods of three years. The
loan was collateralized by the shares of common stock owned by Ms. Woodul. As of
December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2005, the outstanding balance on the loan, including
accrued interest, was $97,066, and $89,031, respectively. Effective December 11, 2006,
Ms. Woodul sold 190,599
F-18
shares of LiveWorld stock to the Company at a then market price
of $0.536 per
share and used the proceeds to pay off the outstanding loan amount of
$75,598 and thereby retire the loan in its entirety.
In June 2000, we
loaned Mr. Bernstein, our Vice President of Engineering
and Chief Scientist, and a LiveWorld co-founder, $250,000 in order to assist him in
buying a home. The interest rate on the loan was six point five percent (6.5%),
compounded annually. The loan is collateralized by the shares of common stock owned by
Mr. Bernstein. As of March 31, 2007 the outstanding principal balance on the loan has been paid in full and
the accrued
interest was $10,561. This remaining interest balance is being paid off by Mr.
Bernstein via monthly payroll deductions.
On May 10, 2006 we
entered into a consulting agreement with DragonBridge
Capital LLC, an entity affiliated with Barry Weinman. Mr. Weinman is affiliated with
Allegis Capital, one of our major stockholders. Pursuant to the consulting agreement,
we agreed to pay retainer of $60,000, to be paid at $5,000 per month. The agreement
terminates in May 2007. Pursuant to the agreement, DragonBridge would be entitled to
certain additional fees in the event a joint venture was established and funded in
China. We do not anticipate these additional fees will be earned under the agreement.
On November 13, 2006,
we repurchased 190,000 shares of our common stock from Mr. Christensen, our Executive Vice President of Engineering and Operations at $0.535 per share.
This transaction was undertaken to enable Mr. Christensen to pay off a loan from the company
associated with his 1996 early exercise of stock options (for the 190,000 shares) which was due
in full in November, 2006. Mr. Christensen used the proceeds of the sale to pay off this
loan.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Master Equipment Lease Agreement In October of 2006 the Company entered into a
master lease agreement for equipment with Bank of America. The total available line is
$800,000. As of December 31, 2006 the Company has committed to approximately $174,000
of equipment on the lease agreement with payments of $5,500 per month for thirty-six
(36) months.
Contingencies The Company is not currently subject to any material legal
proceedings. The Company may from time to time, however, become a party to various legal
proceedings, arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company may also be
indirectly affected by administrative or court proceedings or actions in which the
Company is not involved but which have general applicability to the Internet industry.
Service
Level Agreement - We have various service level agreements wherein a penalty could be assessed
for our failure to meet specified service levels. The penalties incurred to date have not had
a material impact on the operations of the business.

14. SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Settlement with Spark
Networks In December 1999, LiveWorld executed two
agreements with an online dating service company called SocialNet Incorporated. The
first agreement called for LiveWorld to invest $3,000,000 in SocialNet, and the second
agreement was an operating agreement under which SocialNet would purchase $500,000 per
year of LiveWorld services over a three year period. Subsequently SocialNet was
acquired by a Company named MatchNet PLC which later changed its name
to Spark Networks.
After the acquisition, the two companies LiveWorld and Spark Networks had a dispute
over the amount of money owed to LiveWorld under the operating agreement between
SocialNet and the Company. In July of 2001 LiveWorld filed an action against SocialNet
and MatchNet PLC as a result of the disputed monies owed to the Company. In February of
2005 the Company and the Spark Group entered into a settlement agreement where
LiveWorld was paid $400,000 to settle it complaint with the Spark Group. Additionally,
the Company expensed approximately $218,000 for legal fees and other expenses incurred
with the settlement.
Settlement of the Talk
City estate - In May, 2001 the Company sold its assets
associated with its talkcity.com site to MyEsp, which subsequently renamed itself Talk
City, Inc. At this time the Company changed its name back to LiveWorld. The agreements
included an operating contract under which MyEsp (Talk City) would pay LiveWorld
$900,000 per year to operate the talkcity.com site. In late 2001 MyESP (Talk City)
defaulted on its payments to LiveWorld and in January 2002, MyESP (Talk City) filed for
bankruptcy. During the MyESP (Talk City) bankruptcy proceedings and under the
supervision of the court, LiveWorld was required to continue to provide services to
MyESP (Talk City) and in turn to incur substantial operating expenses to provide
services to MyESP (Talk City), as well as legal fees to manage its role in the case.
LiveWorld incurred approximately $500,000 in operational costs and $600,000 in legal
fees in this matter. Ultimately the court ruled that LiveWorld should be reimbursed for
a portion of these costs, but the MyESP (Talk City) estate liquidated without having sufficient funds to make any
payments to LiveWorld. LiveWorld was able to reclaim most of the computer
equipment it had sold to MyEsp and in 2006 received approximately $67,000 payment as its
share of the estates liquidation. As the $67,000 was payment for money owed LiveWorld
for services provided it was recorded as miscellaneous income.
