ITEM 1. Business


Our Company

LiveDeal, Inc., a Nevada corporation (thewhich, together with its subsidiaries, we refer to as the “Company”, “LiveDeal”, “we”, “us” or “our”) ,providesspecialized online marketing solutions to small-to-medium sized local businesses, or SMBs, that boost customer acquisition servicesawareness and merchant visibility. We offer affordable tools for small businesses. LiveDeal, through our two primary wholly-owned subsidiaries (Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc. and Local Marketing Experts, Inc.), offers an affordable way for businessesSMBs to extend their marketing reach to local, relevant prospective customers via the Internet. 

internet. We also provide SMBs promotional marketing with the ability to offer special deals and activities through LiveDeal.com and our online publishing partners.

Our principal offices are located at 6240 McLeod Drive, Suite 120, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120, our telephone number is (702) 939-0231, and our corporate website (which does not form part of this report) is located at www.livedeal.com. Our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “LIVE”.

Summary Business Description

LiveDeal first started in the

We provide specialized online marketing solutions that boost customer awareness and merchant visibility on the internet. In September 2013, we launched LiveDeal.com, which redefinedthe Company’s strategy and direction, centering its focus on the new LiveDeal.com platform and growing the base of restaurants utilizing the LiveDeal platform to attract new customers.LiveDeal.com is a unique, real-time “deal engine” connecting merchants with consumers. The Company believes that it has developed the first-of-its-kind web/mobile platform providing restaurants with full control and flexibility to instantly publish customized offers whenever they wish to attract customers.

We also recently launched two new business lines under new management after a period of re-evaluating our sales program, products, distribution methods and vendor programs. In August 2012, we commenced sourcing local deal and activities to strategic publishing partners under our LiveDeal®brand, which we refer to as promotional marketing. In November 2012, we commenced the sale of marketing tools that help local businesses manage their online presence under our Velocity Localbrand, which we refer to as online presence marketing.

3

We continue to actively develop, revise and evaluate these products and services and our marketing strategies and procedures. We continue to generate a significant portion of our revenue from servicing our existing customers under our legacy product offerings, primarily our InstantProfile® line of products and services. Because of the change in our business strategy and product lines, we no longer accept new customers under our legacy product offerings.

Products and Services

LiveDeal.com.

LiveDeal.com is a unique, real-time “deal engine” connecting merchants with consumers. We believe that the Company has developed the first-of-its-kind web/mobile platform providing restaurants with full control and flexibility to instantly publish customized offers whenever they wish to attract customers. Highlights of the new LiveDeal.com include:

a user-friendly interface enabling restaurants to create limited-time offers and publish them immediately, or on a preset schedule that is fully customizable;
state-of-the-art scheduling technology giving restaurants the freedom to choose the days, times and duration of the offers, enabling them to create offers that entice consumers to visit their establishment during their slower periods;
advanced publishing options allowing restaurants to manage traffic by limiting the number of available vouchers to consumers;
superior geo-location technology allowing multi-location restaurants to segment offers by location, attracting customers to slower locations while eliminating potential over-crowding at busier sites; and
a user-friendly mobile and desktop web interface allowing consumers to easily browse, download, and instantly redeem “live” offers found on LiveDeal.com based on their location.

Restaurants can sign up to use the LiveDeal platform at our website (www.livedeal.com).

We believe one of the primary challenges facing the dining industry is the inefficient and limited number of ways restaurants are able to market offers and promotions to their potential customers. Daily deal companies typically dictate offer terms, such as YP.com. At the time, YP.com wasdiscount amount and redemption details. This not only erodes potential profits for restaurant owners but could also drive traffic during already-busy periods for the first companyrestaurants. LiveDeal’s model benefits both the restaurant and the consumer because it provides the restaurant the opportunity to bringcreate any offer they choose, limit the number of potential claimants of their promotion, publish the offer on days and at times of their choosing, and provides customers with relevant offers they can easily and quickly redeem while creating a cost-effective model for LiveDeal to grow and easily scale its operations. We expect to initially derive revenues through premium placement on the site, and we are also exploring various options for monetizing the website.

The Company, best known for migrating print yellow pages to the Internet in 1994. From there1994, began to develop the model for LiveDeal.com after having worked closely with well-known publishers in the daily deal market. In mid-2013, we movedtested the beta platform in a number of cities, and the model has been well received by restaurants, consumers, and various restaurant associations. We launched LiveDeal.com in the San Diego and Los Angeles, California markets in September 2013 and December 2013, respectively. The Company believes it can cost-effectively expand into other cities due to the scalability of the LiveDeal.com platform, as restaurants can curate deals through our account managers or create specials on their own. In addition, individual customers transact directly with the restaurant, eliminating the need for the Company to act as an intermediary in the sale.

Velocity Local Online Presence Marketing.

We are continually developing and marketing a suite of products and services designed to meet the online classifieds business whenmarketing needs of SMBs at affordable prices. Our target customers for our Velocity Localand our LiveDeal®brands are SMB owners who work long hours to deliver real value to their customers in their own communities that do not have the time or expertise to develop the powerful, multi-faceted, online marketing and advertising programs necessary for successful online marketing. Our offerings draw on a decade of experience servicing SMBs in the internet technology environment.

We offer our SMB customers packages of services to create and maintain an online presence. Products and services we merged with LiveDeal in 2007.

offer include template and custom website design, either optimized for desktop or mobile devices, social media marketing, or SMM, and content marketing, or CM. In combination, these products offer a comprehensive online marketing strategy for SMBs at affordable rates. We believe that our online presence marketing products are useful to a large share of SMBs because they enable potential customers to gain awareness of and locate an SMB and to learn about and purchase its products and services.

Mobile Web Apps. We believe that SMBs which take advantage of emerging mobile internet capabilities, will have greater success in acquiring customers, and that SMB owners are recognizing that mastering marketing to mobile internet users is essential for success in today’s technological environment. Accordingly we offer our customers websites targeted to work with the most popular mobile devices, such as iPhones and Android-powered smartphones, that take on the look and feel of a mobile app, without the inconvenience and delay associated with finding, downloading and installing a mobile app.

We can base these “mobile web apps” on our proprietary templates at affordable prices, or design customized mobile web apps for customers with larger budgets. Our website design professionals can incorporate text and graphics they create to our customer’s specifications, or utilize text and graphics provided by our customer (such as from its traditional website or its other marketing materials). We endeavor to make these mobile web apps clean, trendy and easily usable on the smaller display area available on smart phones. Our mobile web apps can integrate key features such as click-to-call, Google Maps (providing directions and street view), service or product offerings (such as menus), and live Twitter feeds. We continue to develop and refine our templates to add common options, to serve the special needs of specific industries, and to respond to customer demand and market changes.

Traditional Website Design. We also offer custom website design services for websites targeted at traditional desktop and laptop internet users. Our website design team is composed of experienced web design and creation professionals and graphic designers who create customized websites tailored to the needs and goals of our customers. Our design team can assist with layout as well as content creation (text and images).
Content Marketing (CM). Simply having a website, even one optimized for viewing on mobile devices, does not mean potential customers will actually know about or visit the website. We provide content marketing services, including blog postings (relevant to our customer specifically or to its industry generally) and commenting, updating our client’s websites, blog commenting, social bookmarking, social media directory listing, and profile submission to the major search engines.
Social Media Marketing (SMM). We enable our customers to create an online presence which builds their customer base and enables them to keep in touch with their customers, supporters, and other businesses using popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. We employ dedicated research groups to find relevant information about our clients and writes posts, tweets, and comments which can be posted on relevant social networks to increase visibility to and interaction with their followers and potential customers. These activities can also serve to improve our customer’s search engine rankings.

Promotional Marketing

We also source local special deals and activities for SMBs. With the growth of special deal promotions, many SMBs are experimenting with special offers to drive new customers to their locations. We offer our clients a solution that utilizes our business channels to market our clients’ products and services to potential customers. To use this service, an SMB will generally offer a discount for select products or services, or create a specially priced bundle. Our salespeople assist and guide the SMBs to create enticing and marketable deals. We then find an appropriate channel to publish the deal to relevant potential customers.

Potential customers can gain awareness of our clients’ businesses through these deal publications, and transact business with our SMB clients by purchasing a deal. Our SMB clients benefit from their increased visibility, additional business and the opportunity to gain loyal customers.

Prior to our launch of LiveDeal.com, our business strategy includes partnering established strategic publishing partners to publish and sell our client’s deals in exchange for a share of the revenue. We have entered into sourcing agreements with several reputable publishers who have large user bases, including Travelzoo, Google Local, and Amazon, and act as an intermediary to connect SMBs to our publishing partners. Our business thus relies in part on the ability of our partners to display our clients’ deals to a large, relevant audience and to sell the offers. With the launch of LiveDeal.com, we intend to focus our promotional marketing efforts and offer a substantial portion of those products and services through our own proprietary platform.

InstantProfile® (Legacy)

In addition to our current product offerings, we continue to service customers acquired under our legacy product offerings, primarily our InstantProfile® line of products and services. These services primarily consist of directory listing services. Although we currently generate a significant amount of revenue from these legacy product offerings, we are no longer acquiring customers for them.

Marketing

General. We rely on telemarketing and online lead generation to drive customer acquisition. We have created our own telemarketing sales team which works with highly automated technology and specializes in creating, deploying and managing telemarketing campaigns quickly and efficiently. We believe that our telemarketing structure enables us to build and scale sales programs quickly.

We have long-standing relationships with data and lead providers, which enable us to source high quality leads and to focus our telemarketing efforts toward the demographics we believe most likely to result in long-term customers. We primarily market our products and services to SMBs in lists we acquire from third party data companies.

Online Presence Marketing. Our current strategy is to market our online presence marketing services to small office, home office and local businesses that can take advantageacross the country. Our target customers include retail SMBs, such as restaurants, home repair and services companies, as well as professional firms providing legal, accounting and medical services, which share the common challenges of emerging Internet capabilities will be ablemanaging and optimizing their online presence to acquire and retain customers.

Our Market

More than 27 million SMBs operate in the United States today. While a majority of SMBs have a website, most of them are not optimized for mobile devices and therefore do not effectively generate business for the SMB. SMB owners frequently lack the time, expertise or resources necessary to make their website a relevant, effective part of their marketing efforts, or to exploit the additional internet marketing channels needed for successful online marketing. Our target customers with efficiency never-before-possibleare SMBs which normally do not market their products and that those that cannot will suffer in comparison. So, it is becoming widely recognized among small business owners that masteringservices nationally, but wish to utilize local marketing opportunities, including local search, to promote their products and services.

Effective online marketing requires the Internet arts is essential.


But there is a gap. These new Internet services are inherently technological. They require a deep dedication of time, the marshaling of resources, and the development of technological, skills, language, and presentation expertise and other masteriesskills and expertise that few small business operatorsSMB owners have, or have the intention of acquiring.or realistic ability to acquire. We recognize that, to succeed, a small business person needs tomany SMB owners must remain intensely focused on the fundamentals of his/hertheir business. Small

At the same time, we believe that many SMB owners realize that an effective internet presence – including engaging with online and social tools – is essential to their marketing efforts, and SMBs are shifting their marketing budgets from traditional media to online channels. According to BIA/Kelsey forecasts, traditional media business segments such as print advertising, Yellow Pages and newspapers are experiencing large declines in advertising revenues, whereas social media advertising revenues will grow from $5.1 billion in 2010 to $8.2 billion in 2015, representing a compound annual growth rate of 10%. According to internet research firm ComScore, online ad spending increased to just over $30 billion in the U.S. in 2011, a 20.2% increase over 2010.

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Interactive Advertising Bureau, or PWC and IAB, local online/digital advertising revenues in the United States rose 14% in the first half of 2012 and continued to rise steeply through the end of 2012. Searches for products, services or businesses thereforeconstrained by geographical search parameters, such as municipality or zip code, which we refer to as local searches, are an increasingly significant segment of the online marketing industry. According to a May 2011 study, The Kelsey Group estimates that the local search market in the United States will grow from $5.7 billion in 2011 to $10.2 billion in 2016.PWC and IAB also report that revenue from search is 47% of the total internet advertising revenue.

Accordingly, many SMBs need a partner with the necessary expertise and understanding to manage emerging Internetevolving internet audience acquisition services on their behalf. They needservices. We believe that this partner to operate quickly, proactivelycreates a large market opportunity for nimble, reliable and reputable service providers that help companies leverage these new channels efficiently and at affordable prices.

The continued rise in smart phones, which now outsell traditional mobile phones, has changed the lowest possible cost.


Toground rules for online marketing, with the consumption of online advertising rapidly moving to mobile devices. As of mid-2012, eMarketer anticipated that end, we have strategically createdoverall spending on mobile advertising in the United States, including display, search and deliveredmessaging-based ads served to mobile phones and tablets, would rise to $4 billion in 2012 (a 180% increase over 2011), $7.19 billion in 2013, and nearly $21 billion by 2016. Borrell Associates’ August 2011 Mobile Report projected that the amount spent on mobile advertising will double every year for the next five years. If borne out, in 2016, mobile advertising would exceed the amount spent on local search advertising in 2011.

We see SMBs quickly adapting to the local and mobile marketing opportunities because of the great potential to retain existing and draw in new customers at affordable prices. We anticipate that soon most online searches will be conducted using a suitemobile phone, which greatly increases the effectiveness of mobile marketing.

Competition

Promotional Marketing. Our promotional marketing business (including our new LiveDeal.com platform) competes for local deals with several large competitors, such as Groupon and LivingSocial, and many smaller competitors. This business is part of a new market which has operated at a substantial scale for only a limited period of time. We expect competition in this market to continue to increase because no significant barriers to entry exist. Contracts with deal publishers typically contain exclusivity provisions which restrict SMBs from offering deals through other outlets.

We seek desirable local products and services designedwhich we can provide to deliver agency quality productsour publishing partners. We believe that we are in a position to compete in this market successfully due to the unique features of our LiveDeal.com platform (as described above), our experienced sales managers, our experience at an affordable cost. This new suitesourcing, selling and servicing large numbers of products delivers high end agencysmall business accounts, the comprehensiveness of our database, the effectiveness of our marketing programs, and the diversity of our publisher distribution network. Our distribution partnerships allow our clients to reach large audiences and promote their products and services without the costs typically associated with a high end, online, agency firm. The suite of services has a variety of online products and various price points. These products allow LiveDeal to become the small business audience acquisition partner.

LiveDeal customers are small business owners who work 24/7 to deliver real value to their customers in their own communities with little time left over to craft the powerful, multi-faceted, online marketing and advertising programs that today’s world demands. LiveDeal has stepped up to this challenge, drawing from a decade of experience as a directory provider.
Today, we have adapted and adjusted our company goals to reflect the latest online trends with the aim of reaching as many small and medium-sized businesses as possible.  In March 2010 we adopted the strategy of developing successor products to our directory business and rebuilding our customer base through mass market sales using LEC billing channels and moving away from the higher-end direct sales products offered through Local Marketing Experts, Inc (which focused on search engine marketing and website creation services together with additional add-on advertising products.).   Since July 2010, the line of business historically known as our yellow page directory service was rebranded and upgraded to the InstantProfile ® product and marketed under our subsidiary Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc.  This new product, which is part of the InstantAgency suite of products,  provides online subscription tools and services to broadcast information about a business to the top (based on popularity) Internet directories, search engines results, social media networks, and Points-of-Interest (POI) databases embedded on the leading navigational devices. This ensures that our customers are distributed to sites such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, Facebook, Twitter and others through our distribution network. Additionally, customers receive a communication suite that allows both conference call hosting and electronic fax services.  This strategy has culminated in the cessation of all new sales under the Local Marketing Experts, Inc. subsidiary on December 1, 2010.  Based on the fact that sales of the InstantProfile product have exceeded our expectations, we are focusing our efforts on increasing our sales under Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc. and expanding the range of products offered to the market through this sales outlet.
Products and Services

InstantProfile. As described above, our Internet Advertising Product (“IAP”) package was discontinued this year with the launch of the InstantProfile product. All IAP customers were moved to InstantProfile to take advantage of the new product and features.  Under this package, the advertiser pays for exposure utilizing our InstantProfile product. The advertiser enjoys the benefit of having its business distributed to top Internet destinations (based on popularity), including the search engines, top directories, and social media networks. This gives the advertiser the ability to manage its business information in one location and maximize its reach to many locations, as a consumer may search broadly for local business services. InstantProfile customers also enjoy additional benefits with tools to communicate directly with their customers and employees. The InstantProfile platform includes:

innovative ways.

§One location to manage business contact information through the syndication network to the top search engines, directories, and social media networks.6
 §Broadcasting messages to the top social media networks.
§Conference call solution.
§Electronic faxing solution.

InstantProfile Pricing. We generally price our InstantProfile product between $27.50 and $49.00 per month, which includes all of the service benefits previously described. We believe that these prices are comparable to the prices of our competitors, and we believe that our product provides superior value to our advertisers when considering the many benefits that they receive, including the ease of use, broad internet distribution and communication tools.

Billing.

Online Presence. Our billing process allows us to deliver high levels of service to our customers through convenient and timely billing and payment options.  We currently bill our advertisers through (i) their local exchange carrier (“LEC”), (ii) Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) billing, (iii) their credit card or (iv) direct bill invoices.


Similar to the local Regional Bell Operating Companies, we are approved to bill our products and services directly on some of our advertisers’ local telephone bill through their LEC, commonly referred to as their local telephone company.  We believe that this is an efficient and cost-effective billing method as compared to direct billing methods.  

In order to bill our advertisers through their LECs, we are required to use one or more billing service aggregators. These aggregators have been approved by various LECs to provide billing, collection, and related services through the LECs. Under these agreements, our service aggregators bill and collect our charges to our advertisers through LEC billing and remit to us the proceeds, net of fees, bad debt reserves, customer returns, and unbillable accounts, typically within 90 days of submission.

We also use billing service providers to process billings via recurring direct bank account withdrawal options through ACH billings.  These service providers process direct bank withdrawals through an Automated Clearing House and remit the proceeds, net of fees and refunds to advertisers that cancel their service, typically within 15 days of settlement.

Under our contractual agreements with our LEC billing service aggregators, these third parties are entitled to withhold certain amounts from our net proceeds to serve as a security deposit or “holdbacks” or “reserves.”  Such amounts are generally remitted to us over a 12-18 month period, depending on the terms of the respective agreements.  An ACH processor maintains a fixed security deposit as a reserve.

Direct Sales, now known as Local Marketing Experts, Inc. In February 2008, we added a new line ofonline presence business that utilizes, but is not entirely dependent on, our directory websites and billing services. This line of business is based on using telesales and sophisticated Internet audience acquisition technologies to deliver a suite of audience acquisition services to small businesses. This line of business became known as Local Marketing Experts, Inc. in April 2010.  As described above, on December 1, 2010 we ceased all new sales under this line of business to focus more of the company’s resources and capital on expansion and further development of the InstantProfile product and its companion products.  We will continue to support, fulfill and maintain all customers acquired under this line of business as long as it is economically beneficial to do so.

Local Marketing Experts, Inc. customers signed up for a one year contract paid equally over twelve months. Products and services ranged in price from $4,500 per year to $10,000 a year paid via credit card in 12 monthly installments.

The Internet Yellow Pages Advertising Market
According to The Kelsey Group (a leading consultant in the local advertising market) it is expected that by 2014, the U.S. local media advertising will reach $145.2 billion. Overall, the interactive advertising market is showing a strong rebound from economic challenges.
The Kelsey Group is forecasting that the percentage of local searches will surge from 12.7% in 2009 to 17% in 2010. In fact, Google executives have openly commented that they are observing 20% of searches to be local. Given the overall search engine mix, The Kelsey Group is estimating the percentage across all U.S. search engines to be 17%. Additionally the number of searches per person per month will grow substantially from 90 in 2009 to 110 in 2010. ComScore tracking shows similar per searcher results at midyear 2010, increasing overall confidence.

§Total Local advertising spend is forecast at $133.33 billion in 2010, rising to $137.3 billion in 2012 and to $145.2 billion in 2014.
§The local advertising market is currently dominated by traditional media, however, there is a steady increase in online spending from $19.6 billion in 2010 to $35.2 billion projected in 2014.
§By comparison, classifieds and verticals ended 2009 at $3.9 billion, down $1 billion from 2008.  Classified performance last year declined substantially, down 30% in the second quarter, year over year, and down 21% for the full year. Classifieds as a format continues to struggle.

We believe the following factors will cause our Online Marketing Spend to continue to grow:

§Online advertising reaches more users as search queries continue to increase as local newspapers, printed directories and other local printed mediums continue to reduce circulation (and, in turn, their impact and reach) due to high cost and in turn their reach.
§Online users are becoming trained to use the Internet as a whole and not only their computer largely due to the broad accessibility via computers and hand-held devices, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistant.
§Features such as mapping, direct calling to the advertiser, and e-mail at the click of a button have become more prevalent.

Additionally, online advertising generally delivers trackable returns on investment.  For every marketing dollar spent, there is the ability to access and modify displays and advertisements, which allows for opportunistic or targeted specials or discounts; something the consumer has been trained to expect.

Search engines are a common method by which users navigate the Internet.  We expect to expand our distribution network to allow our advertisers to benefit from this growth by seeking prominent placement for them in search engine results.

Marketing

Today, we utilize various online marketing methods to drive users and advertisers to our website properties. In fact, we utilize the very products and services we offer to the small businesses to market ourselves.  These services include our corporate and product websites, Search Engine Marketing, website videos, and Display Advertising. In addition to online marketing, we generate leads for our telemarketing group through industry specific trade show event participation, referral partnerships with vertical specific trade associations, referral bounties from existing customers and traditional list purchases.

Each subsidiary (Local Marketing Experts, Inc and Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc.) has its own website, brand and overall product target message while the LiveDeal.com corporate website defines our company story and also promotes the overall line of products and services.

We do not currently sell our products via e-commerce. We believe that our products and services are best suited for the telesales process. We offer a consultative sales process that interviews the customer regarding their needs and their goals. We recommend products and services that are customized to achieve the small business’ goals. We have a strategic line up of products and services that cover an array of online needs.

Technology and Infrastructure

We believe best of breed technology partnerships enable the company to continually evaluate and align ourselves with the best technology solutions available. In today’s high technology world, applications and tools can be outdated in weeks let alone months. Costs associated with technology development at the risk of being outdated have encouraged us to research and attain the best product available in each of our product categories.

§Eliminated homegrown systems in favor of open, best-of-breed solutions
-Lower cost approach
-No future development costs
-Better back-up and reliability

§Able to partner with any vendor or platform
-Plug and play approach
-Greatly improved speed to market
-Increased flexibility

§We have gone to cloud computing options to replace and maintain outdated hardware

The cloud technology we have chosen to embrace combines the power and flexibility of infrastructure-as-a-service with the security and availability that organizations with mission-critical computing needs demand of their infrastructure.  Because it is based on resources, not large and inflexible server units, cloud technology allows for precise and dynamic allocation of computing resources when and where they are needed.

The environment leverages technology from world-class infrastructure partners such as VMware, Cisco, HP and IBM to achieve unmatched flexibility and control. The clustered grid architecture provides complete physical redundancy to eliminate downtime due to hardware failure. In fact, the system can even move applications across physical devices live and with no service interruption. And automated resource balancing provides continuous monitoring and optimization to ensure peak performance.  Storage is delivered on a redundant, high-performance Fibre-attached SAN architecture.  This allows for the addition of disks to virtual servers in increments of 1GB to 512GB when needed from the storage pool.

Security in the cloud is also an issue that is addressed through the provision of a highly secure foundation for our business applications, with an architecture designed to help meet today’s critical compliance and certification requirements, including SAS 70 Type II, PCIDSS and Safe Harbor.

End user software is web-based.  The deployment of this software allows us the maximum level of flexibility to implement strategic product and marketing partners.  Using premier SaaS (software as a service) vendors, we are able to deploy products and initiatives in a fast and efficient manner.

We have deployed sales force automation and customer relationship management software including SalesForce.com to organize, collaborate and synchronize business processes related to customer acquisition and support.  We use this technology to manage all aspects of the sales and customer lifecycle including prospect management, the sale, product provisioning and post-sale support.

Billing is completed through specialized subscription management software.  We are able to automate and manage subscription billing via credit card, checking/ACH or LEC (local exchange carrier) billing.  We are able to bill any type of recurring subscription as well as rate usage charges giving us full pricing and package flexibility.

Our technology provides a strong but flexible framework for our operation that allows us to grow and adapt with the Market.

Competition

We operateoperates in the highly competitive, and rapidly expanding and evolving business-to-business Internet services market.market for internet marketing for SMBs. Our largest competitors are LECs,local exchange carriers, which are generallywidely known as localregional telephone companies,operators, and national search engines such as Yahoo! and Google, that have recently expandedare actively expanding their presence in the local search market. We compete with other onlinewebsite designers and operators, Yellow Pages services, website operators, advertising networks and outlets, and search engine optimization, CM and SMM service providers, as well as traditional offline media, such as traditional Yellow Pages directory publishers and television, radio, and print share advertising. Our services also compete with many directory website production businesses and Internetinternet information service providers. Our audience acquisition services compete with advertising agencies and other businesses providing somewhat similar services.

The principal competitive factors in the markets in which we competethis market include personalization of service, ease of use, quality of directories, quality and responsiveness of search results,services, availability of quality content, value-added products and services, and access to end-users.  consumers, effectiveness at driving business to our clients, and price.

Many boutique firms offer services similar to our online presence marketing products. Generally these small firms cannot provide all the comprehensive services we do. However, these small firms provide many options for web design, social media marketing, internet marketing, and search engine optimization.

Because of efficiencies stemming from our proprietary software and business structure, we are generally able to provide these services at a lower recurring cost and with lower upfront charges to commence a complete marketing campaign and build a client’s mobile-optimized website.

We also compete for advertising listings with the suppliersagainst larger companies which offer a similar or more expanded set of Internet navigational and informational services, high-traffic websites, Internet access providers, and other media.  This competition could result in significantlyproducts. Our principal competitive advantages over these companies are our lower prices for advertising and reductions in advertising revenues.  Increased competition could havethe better quality and service of our website design, particularly our web app platform. We believe our combination of outstanding service and low cost will enable us to provide a material adverse effect onsuite of attractive packages to our business.

These capital resources could allowenable our competitors to engage in advertising and other promotional activities that will enhance their brand name recognition at levels we cannot match.  The LECs and national search engines also have advantages in terms of brand name recognition.

We believe, that we are in a position to successfully compete in these markets due to our experience at sourcing, selling and servicing large numbers of small business accounts, the comprehensiveness of our database, and the effectiveness of our marketing programs and our distribution network.  We also believehowever, that our products provide a simple and affordable way of creatingfor our clients to create a web presence and marketingto market their products and services to local audiences.

Corporate History

We were originally incorporated in Nevada in 1996 as Renaissance Center, Inc. We started in the online marketing industry with YP.com, which had introduced the print yellow pages to the internet. We moved into the online classifieds business when we acquired LiveDeal, Inc., a California corporation, in June 2007, and changed our corporate name to LiveDeal, Inc. in August 2007.

On July 10, 2007, we acquired a Manila, Philippines-based call center to provide telemarketing services to support our directory services business. In February 2008, we commenced sales of higher-end direct sales products which focused on search engine marketing, website creation services and add-on advertising products. We sold the YP.com domain in March 2009, and in June 2009 discontinued our classifieds business and the operations at our Philippines-based call center.

In March 2010, we began mass market sales of a suite of internet-based, local search driven, customer acquisition services for small businesses using local exchange carrier, or LEC, billing channels, and curtailed sales of our employeeshigher-end direct sales products. In July 2010, we rebranded our traditional yellow page directory service as InstantProfile® and upgraded our services to provide online subscription tools and services to broadcast information about a business to the most popular internet directories, search engines, social media networks, and Points-of-Interest (POI) databases embedded on the leading navigational devices, as well as a communication suite that enabled both conference call hosting and electronic fax services. On December 1, 2010, we ceased all new sales of our higher-end direct sales products, and in May 2011 we assigned all remaining customers in that business segment to ReachLocal, Inc. On July 15, 2011, we discontinued all new sales of our InstantProfile® product while we evaluated our sales program, products, distribution methods and vendor programs, but we continue to service existing customers.

In August 2012 we acquired substantially all of the assets of LiveOpenly, Inc., which sourced, published and sold discounted goods and services offered by SMBs.

In addition to our renewed marketing efforts for LiveDeal.com and our other online presence and promotional marketing product lines described above, in the past fiscal year we have continued our efforts to reduce our and streamline our operations. We also intend to seek additional investment and working capital that will enable us to continue to expand and improve our product offerings and grow our revenues.

We will pay Chardan a commission equal to up to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the common stock sold through Chardan pursuant to the Engagement Agreement and reimburse Chardan up to $15,000 in expenses. We have also provided Chardan with customary indemnification rights. No assurance can be given that we will sell any shares under the Engagement Agreement, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of shares that we will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place.

The foregoing description of the Engagement Agreement contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Engagement Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference. This Annual Report on Form 10-K also incorporates by reference the Engagement Agreement into our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-187397) previously filed with the SEC, pursuant to which any shares that are issued under the Engagement Agreement will be sold.

Convertible Note Transaction ($5 Million Line of Credit)

On January 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Kingston Diversified Holdings LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to purchase for cash up to $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes (“Notes”). The Purchase Agreement and the Notes, which are unsecured, provide that all amounts payable by the Company to the Investor under the Notes will be due and payable on the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Maturity Date”).

The Purchase Agreement and the Notes provide that:

Either the Company or the Investor will have the right to cause the sale and issuance of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided that NASDAQ’s approval of the Purchase Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby is a condition precedent to each party’s right to cause any borrowings to occur under the Purchase Agreement.
Each Note must be in a principal amount of at least $100,000.
The Notes are issuable at a 5% discount and will accrue interest at an annual interest rate equal to 8%. All interest will be payable on the Maturity Date or upon the conversion of the applicable Note.
The Company has the option to prepay each Note, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty.
Either the Company or the Investor may elect at any time on or before the Maturity Date to convert the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due under any Note into shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price applicable to any such conversion will be an amount equal to 70% of the lesser of: (i) the closing bid price of the common stock on the date of the Purchase Agreement (i.e., $9.35 per share); or (ii) the 10-day volume weighted average closing bid price for the common stock, as listed on NASDAQ for the 10 business days immediately preceding the date of conversion (the “Average Price”); provided, however, that in no event will the Average Price per share be less than $1.00. For example, if the Average Price is $0.50 per share, then for purposes of calculating the conversion price, the Average Price per share would be $1.00 per share instead of $0.50 per share.
If either party elects to convert all or any portion of any Note, the Company must issue to the Investor on the date of the conversion a warrant (“Contingent Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion. This number of shares is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, certainpro rata distributions, and certain fundamental transactions. Each Contingent Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years following the date of its issuance at an exercise price equal to 110% of the conversion price of the applicable Note (with the exercise price being subject to adjustment under the same conditions as the number of shares for which the warrant is exercisable.) The Contingent Warrants provide that they may be exercised in whole or in part and include a cashless exercise feature.
The Notes provide that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts payable to the Investor will become immediately due and payable without any demand or notice. The events of default (“Events of Default”) which trigger the acceleration of the Notes include (among other things): (i) the Company’s failure to make any payment required under the Notes when due (subject to a three-day cure period), (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with its covenants and agreements under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and any other transaction documents, and (iii) the occurrence of a change of control with respect to the Company.

9

The Company (i) is required to provide certain financial and other information to the Investor from time to time, (ii) must maintain its corporate existence, business, assets, properties, insurance and records in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, (iii) with certain exceptions, must not incur or suffer to exist any liens or other encumbrances with respect to the Company’s property or assets, (iv) must not make certain loans or investments except in compliance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and (v) must not enter into certain types of transactions, including dispositions of its assets or business.
The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable, any approvals of the Company’s stockholders required under applicable law or NASDAQ Listing Rules in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Unless and until any such stockholder approvals are obtained, in no event will the Investor be entitled to convert any Notes and/or exercise any Contingent Warrants to the extent that any such conversion or exercise would result in the Investor acquiring in such transactions a number of shares of the Company’s common stock exceeding 19.99% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company’s entry into the Purchase Agreement.
The Investor will be entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable conversion price for any Note(s) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If any such dilutive issuance occurs prior to the conversion of one or more Notes, the conversion price for such Note(s) will be adjusted downward pursuant to its terms (subject to a floor of $0.70 per share). If any such dilutive issuance occurs after the conversion of one or more Notes, the Investor will be entitled to be issued additional shares of common stock for no consideration, and to an adjustment of the exercise price payable under the applicable Contingent Warrant(s). With respect to each Note actually issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Investor’s anti-dilution rights will expire two (2) years following the date of issuance.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Contingent Warrants contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such documents, copies of which are attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibits 10.10, 10.11 and 10.12, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference

2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

On January 7, 2014, our Board of Directors adopted the 2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of distribution equivalent rights, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, performance stock, performance units, restricted ordinary shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, tandem stock appreciation rights and unrestricted ordinary shares to our officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors. The Company has reserved up to 600,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2014 Plan. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c), the Company intends to seek stockholder approval of the 2014 Plan at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors


An investment in our common stock involves a substantial degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should give careful consideration to the following risk factors in addition to the other risks and information containeddescribed in this report. The following risk factors, however, may not reflect all of the risks associated with our business or an investment in our common stock. The trading price of our common stock could decline significantly due to any of these risks and investors may lose all or part of their investments. In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year that ended on September 30, 20102012 and related notes.


Risks Related to Our Business

Our management, personnel, strategic partners, and products and services are relatively new.

Our management team, many of our business and strategic partners, and a large majority of our personnel are relatively new to our company. On July 15, 2011, we discontinued all sales of our prior principal product line, InstantProfile, while we commenced an evaluation of our sales program, products, distribution methods and vendor programs. In December 2011, we sold a controlling interest in our company to an unaffiliated group of new investors. In January 2012, our board appointed Jon Isaac, who is the owner of one of the December 2011 investors, as President and CEO. Since that time, the company has hired a new management team, implemented a new company strategy, designed new products and services around that strategy, hired new personnel and formed new business relationships to implement that strategy.

The products and services we are currently offering, as well as our current marketing practices, are new and are still being developed and tested for market acceptance, which cannot be assured. Our management team is in the process of actively evaluating and attempting to improve our marketing efforts and our product and service offerings, as well as contracting with new partners and hiring and training personnel for management, sales and fulfillment. Any new product offering is subject to certain risks, including customer acceptance, competition, product differentiation, challenges relating to economies of scale and the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including management and designers. Many of our contracts with third party vendors, including our strategic partnerships, permit our partners to terminate the contract, with short or no prior notice, for convenience, as well as in the event we default under the terms of the contract for failing to meet our contractual obligations.

10

The development of new products involves considerable costs and any new product may not generate sufficient consumer interest and sales to become a profitable brand or to cover the costs of its development and subsequent promotions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and grow our current offerings, or any other new offerings, to a point where they will become profitable, or generate positive cash flow. We may modify or terminate our current product and services offerings if our management determines that they are not yielding or will not yield desired results.

Our product introductions and improvements, along with our other marketplace initiatives, are designed to capitalize on customer demands and trends. In order to be successful, we must anticipate and react to changes in these demands and trends, and to modify existing products or develop new products or processes to address them.

Uncertainty in the market for our products and services.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010,2013, we incurred substantial operating losses as we transitionedcontinued to transition our business toward our new strategic focus. We will continue to incur operating losses as we develop our new business segment,products which will be financed through existing cash on hand.hand plus potential additional debt or equity financings. While we believe our existing cash on hand, together with additional cash generated from operations or obtained from other sources, such other sources of cash possibly includingas stock issuances, loans and advances from our existing LEC clearing houses through their current advance programs or other forms of financing, secured by or leveraged off our increasing accounts receivable based on existing programs in place that are being offered to companies similar to ours; is sufficient to finance our operations (including working capital and needed capital expenditures) for the next twelve months, there can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability or positive operating cash flows.

We had a net loss of our changing business strategy, we sold our primary URL, www.yp.com, as well as a portion of our customer list.  Further, certain fulfillment contracts were terminated during$5.7 million for the fiscal year 2009.

While we have significantly reduced our operating expenses by reviewing all expenses and improving operating efficiencies, we may not be able to resultreduce or maintain our expenses in response to any decrease in our revenues, which may impact our ability to implement our new business strategies and would adversely affect our financial condition.

We are losing our LEC billing channels.  

We have historically billed a significant lossamount of future revenueour legacy business revenues through LEC billing channels. The largest LEC billing companies ceased billing for third parties in 2012. We anticipate that the three remaining LEC billing companies will also cease processing for third parties as of the end of 2012. If we are not able to obtain alternative billing methods for these customers, the number of customers and our revenues will decline, which could materially and adversely impactaffect our operating results and financial conditioncondition.

If we fail to maintain the number of customers purchasing our monthly subscription products, our revenue and results of operations.


our business could be harmed.

Our monthly subscription customers do not have long-term obligations to purchase our products or services and many cancel their subscriptions each month. As a result of customer churn, we must continually add new monthly subscription customers to replace customers who cancelled and to grow our business beyond our current customer base.

In addition, as the cessation of billingresult of the accounts subjectdiscontinuation of LEC billing services in o2012 noted above, we anticipate that we will lose a material number of subscribers. If we do not add sufficient new subscribers to compensate for these sales or terminationslost subscribers, our operating results and our financial performance may be materially and adversely affected.

In particular, our most senior management is relatively inexperienced in marketing services provided to directory business customers. Further, the LEC processors continue to deduct their expenses from these reserves. We have made reasonable estimates of these potential expenses over the expected period of collection of these reserve amounts held-back by the LEC processors. However, it is possible that the actual expenses billed by the LEC processorsSMBs and in the future could vary significantlyproviding online marketing services, and our products and services, marketing strategy, operating environment and regulatory limitations differ markedly from the estimates made byother businesses which our senior management has managed and operated.

The discontinuance of our classifieds and Direct Sales businesses could adversely impact our financial condition.

In fiscal year 2009 we made the strategic decision to discontinue our classifieds business and product offerings which have historically generated agreat majority of our revenuespersonnel, including our management, has been hired relatively recently, and there can be no assurance that they will be able to work together effectively or provide the necessary level of services to succeed in December 2010 we made the strategic decision to discontinueimplementing our Direct Sales business.  These discontinuances will continue to reduce our revenues that were generated from these product lines, particularly with respect to those customers who sought an integrated Yellow Pages and classifieds product.

Additionally, major InternetMajor internet companies, including Google, Microsoft, Verizon, AT&T and Yahoo!, currently market Internetinternet Yellow Pages, local search services and other products that directly compete with our legacy business as well as our new product offerings.  offerings and major deal companies, like Groupon and Living Social, currently market daily deals that directly compete with our promotional marketing business. Other existing and potential competitors include website design and development service and software companies; internet service providers and application service providers; internet search engine providers; domain registrars; website hosting providers; local business directory providers; and ecommerce platform and service providers.

We may not compete effectively with existing and potential competitors for several reasons, including the following:


 §·some competitors have longer operating histories, larger and more established subscriber bases, and greater financial and other resources than we have and are in better financial condition than we are;are, enabling them to engage in more extensive research and development, more aggressive pricing policies, and more advertising and other promotional activities that will enhance their brand name recognition and increase their market share;

 §·some competitors may release free tools, including open source tools, which perform some or many of the services we offer to our customers;

·some competitors have better name recognition or reputations, as well as larger, more established, and more extensive marketing, customer service, and customer support capabilities than we have;

 §some competitors may supply a broader range of services, enabling them to serve more or all of their customers’ needs;

§·some competitors may be able to better adapt to changing market conditions and customer demand; and

 §·barriers to entry are not significant.  As a result, other companies that are not currently involved in the online marketing businesssignificant, and new competitors may enter the marketour markets or develop technologytechnologies that reduces the need for our services.

Increased competitive pressure could lead to reduced market share, as well as lower prices and reduced margins, for our services.

As a result of an anticipated increase in competition in our markets, and the likelihood that some of this competition will come from companies with more established brands and resources than us, we believe brand name recognition and reputation will become increasingly important. If we experience reductionsare not successful in quickly building brand awareness, we could be placed at a competitive disadvantage to companies whose brands are more recognizable than ours.

Our business is subject to an uncertain and developing regulatory environment.

While relatively few laws and regulations apply specifically to internet businesses, the application of other laws and regulations to internet businesses, including ours, is unclear in many instances. There remains significant legal uncertainty in a variety of areas, including intellectual property, user privacy, the positioning of sponsored listings on search results pages, defamation, taxation, product liability, and the regulation of content in various jurisdictions.

Compliance with federal laws relating to the internet and internet businesses may impose upon us significant costs and risks, or may subject us to liability if we do not successfully comply with their requirements, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Specific federal laws that impact our business include The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, The Communications Decency Act of 1996, The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (including related Federal Trade Commission regulations), The Protect Our Children Act of 2008, and The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, among others. For example, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which is in part intended to reduce the liability of online service providers for listing or linking to third-party websites that include materials that infringe the rights of others, was adopted by Congress in 1998. If we violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act we could be exposed to costly and time-consuming copyright litigation.

Our utilization of ACH billing exposes us to review by the National Automated Clearing House Association. Future actions from these and other regulatory agencies could expose us to substantial liability in the future, including fines and criminal penalties, preclusion from offering certain products or services, and the prevention or limitation of certain marketing practices.

Existing laws and regulations and any future regulation may have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, we believe that our direct marketing programs meet existing requirements of the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC. Any changes to FTC requirements or changes in our direct or other marketing practices, however, could result in our marketing practices failing to comply with FTC regulations, or could require us to change our marketing strategies or practices, which could adversely impact our ability to acquire new clients.

The application of certain laws and regulations to our promotional marketing business, as a new product category, is uncertain. These include federal and state laws governing considered gift cards, gift certificates, stored value cards or prepaid cards, such as the federal Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, or the CARD Act, and unclaimed and abandoned property laws. Numerous class action lawsuits that have been filed in federal and state court claiming that vouchers used in promotional marketing are subject to the CARD Act and various state laws governing gift cards and that the defendants have violated these laws by issuing vouchers with expiration dates and other restrictions. If we are required to alter our promotional marketing business practices as a result of any laws and regulations, our revenue forcould decrease, our costs could increase and our business could otherwise be harmed. In addition, the costs and expenses associated with defending any reason,actions related to such additional laws and regulations and any payments of related penalties, judgments or settlements could adversely impact our margins may continue to decline, which would adversely affect ourfinancial condition and results of operations.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in the future.


Our success depends upon our ability to establish and maintain relationships with our advertisers.


customers.

Our ability to generate revenue depends upon our ability to maintain relationships with our existing advertisers,customers, to attract new advertiserscustomers to sign up for revenue-generating products and services, and to generate traffic to our advertisers’customers’ websites. We primarily use telemarketing efforts to attract new advertisers.customers. These telemarketing efforts may not produce satisfactory results in the future. We attempt to maintain relationships with our advertiserscustomers through customer service and delivery of traffic to their businesses. An inability to either attract additional advertiserscustomers to use our service or to maintain relationships with our advertiserscustomers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.


If we do not introduce new or enhanced offerings to our advertisers and users,customers, we may be unable to attract and retain those advertisers and users,customers, which would significantly impede our ability to generate revenue.


We willmay need to introduce new or enhanced products and services in order to attract and retain advertisers and userscustomers and to remain competitive. Our industry hasindustries have been characterized by rapid technological change, changes in advertiser and user requirements and preferences, and frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies.technologies and business logic. These changes could render our technology, systems, and website obsolete.services obsolete or uncompetitive. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent us from introducing new or enhanced products and services. If we do not periodically enhance our existing products and services, develop new technologies that address our advertisers’customers’ and users’ needs and preferences, or respond to emerging technological advances and industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis, our products and services may not be attractive to advertisers andcustomers or their users, which would significantly impede our revenue growth. In addition, our reputation and our brand could be damaged if any new or enhanced product or service introduction is not favorably received.


Our results of operations could fluctuate due to factors outside of our control.


Our operating results have historically fluctuated significantly, and we have experienced recent declines in net revenues and operating profits.  We could continue to experience fluctuations or continuedrevert to declining operating results due to factors that may or may not be within our control. Such factors include the following:

8

 §·fluctuating demand for our services, which may depend on a number of factors including:

 -§changes in economic conditions and our advertisers’customers’ profitability,

 -§advertiserchanges in technologies favored by consumers,

§customer refunds or cancellations, and

 -§our ability to continue to bill through existing means;

 §·market acceptance of new or enhanced versions of our services or products;

 §·price competition or pricing changes by us or our competitors;


13
 

§·new product offerings or other actions by our competitors;

 §·the ability of our check processing service providers to continue to process and provide billing information regarding our solicitation checks;information;

 §·the amount and timing of expenditures for expansion of our operations, including the hiring of new employees, capital expenditures, and related costs;

 §·technical difficulties or failures affecting our systems or the Internetinternet in general;

 §·a decline in Internetinternet traffic at our website; and

 §·the fixed nature of a significant amount of our operating expenses.

The loss of our ability to bill advertiserscustomers through our ACH billing channel would adversely impact our results of operations.


We bill a significant number of our Directory Services advertisersclients through our ACH billing channel. ACH transactions are closely regulated by NACHA – The Electronic Paymentsthe National Automated Clearing House Association, which develops operating rules and business practices for the ACH network and for electronic payments in the areas of Internetinternet commerce and other electronic payment means. Changes in these rules and business practices could compromise our ability to bill a significant number of our advertiserscustomers through ACH billing, and we would have to transition these advertiserscustomers to other billing channels. Such changes would be disruptive and could result in lost clients and revenue.


We are subject to a number of risks related to credit card payments.

We bill a large portion of our clients using credit and debit cards. For credit and debit card payments, we pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise our operating expenses and adversely affect our net income. We are also subject to payment card association operating rules, certification requirements and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. We believe we are compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, which incorporates Visa’s Cardholder Information Security Program and MasterCard’s Site Data Protection standard. However, there is no guarantee that we will maintain such compliance or that compliance will prevent illegal or improper use of our payment system. If we fail to comply with these rules or requirements, we may be subject to fines and higher transaction fees and lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments from our clients. A failure to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions would result in significantly higher credit card-related costs and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We depend upon our executive officers and key personnel.


personnel.

Our performance depends substantially on the performance of our executive officers and other key personnel. The success of our business in the future will depend on our ability to attract, train, retain, and motivate high quality personnel, especially highly qualified sales, technical and managerial personnel. The loss of services of any executive officers or key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.


We do not have term employment agreements with, or key man life insurance covering, any of our executive officers.

Competition for talented personnel is intense, and there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to attract, train, retain or motivate other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future. In addition, market conditions may require us to pay higher compensation to qualified management and technical personnel than we currently anticipate. Any inability to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.


We depend upon third parties to provide certain services and software, and our business may suffer if the relationships upon which we depend fail to produce the expected benefits or are terminated.


We depend upon third-party software to operate certain of our services. The failure of this software to perform as expected wouldcould have a material adverse effect on our business. Additionally, although we believe that several alternative sources for this software are available, any failure to obtain and maintain the rights to use such software wouldcould have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. We also depend upon third parties who provide the cloud computing services which host our customers’ websites, including the mobile web apps, to be sufficiently reliable and provide services that allow us to connect to the Internet with sufficient capacity and bandwidth so that our business can function properly and our customers’ websites can handleare responsive to current and anticipated traffic. Any restrictions or interruption in ourthose providers’ services or connection to the Internet wouldinternet could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. If we are forced to switch hosting facilities, we may not be successful in finding an alternative service provider on acceptable terms or in hosting the required computer servers and implementing the required technology ourselves. We may also be limited in our remedies against these providers in the event of a failure of service.

We expect that our anticipated future growth, including through potential acquisitions, may strain our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure, which could adversely affect our business.

We anticipate that significant expansion of our present operations will be required to compensate for the loss of clients related to the cessation of LEC billing and to capitalize on potential growth in market opportunities, and that this expansion will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. We expect to add a significant number of additional key personnel in the future, including key managerial, sales and technical employees who will have to be fully integrated into our operations. In order to manage our growth, we will be required to continue to implement and improve our operational, marketing and financial systems, to expand existing operations, to attract and retain superior management and personnel, and to train, manage and expand our employee base. We may not be able to expand our operations effectively, our systems, procedures and controls may be inadequate to support our expanded operations, and our management may fail to implement our business plan successfully.

We may not be able to secure additional capital to expand our operations.


Although we currently have no material long-term needs for capital expenditures, we will likely be required to make increased capital expenditures to fund our anticipated growth of operations, infrastructure, and personnel. We currently anticipate that our cash on hand as of September 30, 2010, together with cash flows from operations or obtained from other sources, such other sources of cash possibly including stock issuances, loans and advances from our existing LEC clearing houses through their current advance programs or other forms of financing secured by or leveraged off our increasing accounts receivable based on existing programs in place that are being offered to companies similar to ours will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for working capital and capital expenditures over the next 12 months.  In the future, however, we may need to seek additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity, depending upon our results of operations, market conditions or unforeseen needs or opportunities. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the following:


including:

 §·the pace of expansion of our operations;

 §·our need to respond to competitive pressures; and

 §·future acquisitions of complementary products, technologies or businesses.

Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could vary materially as a result of the factors described above.  As we require additional capital resources, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities.  Debt financing must be repaid at maturity, regardless of whether or not we have sufficient cash resources available at that time to repay the debt.  

The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to existing stockholders. We cannot provide assurance that any financing arrangements will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.


Our business is subject to a strict regulatory environment.

Existing laws and regulations and any future regulation may have a material adverse effect on our business.  For example, we believe that our direct marketing programs meet existing requirements of the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”).  Any changes to FTC requirements or changes in our direct or other marketing practices, however, could result in our marketing practices failing to comply with FTC regulations.

On December 14, 2006, we voluntarily entered into a settlement with thirty-four states’ attorneys general to address their concerns regarding our promotional activities, including the use of our check mailer for customer acquisition.  
There can be no absolute assurance that the other states or other parties, which were not part of the above-mentioned state consortium, would not attempt to file similar claims against us in the future.  However, we believe this risk is somewhat mitigated by the fact that those states did not join the states in filing complaints against us and the fact that we are discontinuing the use of our check activators.  Finally, our utilization of ACH billing has exposed us to greater scrutiny by the National Automated Clearing House Association, or NACHA.  Future actions from these and other regulatory agencies could expose us to substantial liability in the future, including fines and criminal penalties, preclusion from offering certain products or services, and the prevention or limitation of certain marketing practices.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights.


Our success depends both on our internally developed technology and ourlicensed third party technology. We rely on a variety of trademarks, service marks, and designs to promote our brand names and identity. We also rely on a combination of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures, and trademark, copyright, trade secrecy, unfair competition, and other intellectual property laws to protect the proprietary aspects of our products and services. Legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of the protection of certain intellectual property rights in Internet-relatedinternet-related industries are uncertain and still evolving. The steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to protect our intellectual property and may not prevent our competitors from gaining access to our intellectual property and proprietary information. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that courts will always uphold our intellectual property rights or enforce the contractual arrangements that we have entered into to obtain and protect our proprietary technology.


Third parties, including our partners, contractors or employees, may infringe or misappropriate our copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, and other proprietary rights. Any such infringement or misappropriation could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights, which may result in the dilution of the brand identity of our services.


10

We may decide to initiate litigation in order to enforce our intellectual property rights to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights. Any such litigation could result in substantial expense, may reduce our profits, and may not adequately protect our intellectual property rights. In addition, we may be exposed to future litigation by third parties based on claims that our products or services infringe or misappropriate their intellectual property rights. Any such claim or litigation against us, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and harm our reputation. In addition, such claims or litigation could force us to do one or more of the following:


 §·cease selling or using any of our products and services that incorporate the challengedsubject intellectual property, which would adversely affect our revenue;

 §·attempt to obtain a license from the holder of the intellectual property right alleged to have been infringed or misappropriated, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all;terms; and

 §·attempt to redesign or, in the case of trademark claims, rename our products or services to avoid infringing or misappropriating the intellectual property rights of third parties, which may not be possible and in any event could be costly and time-consuming.

15

Even if we were to prevail, such claims or litigation could be time-consuming and expensive to prosecute or defend, and could result in the diversion of our management’s time and attention. These expenses and diversion of managerial resources could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.


Capacity constraints

We may be subject to intellectual property claims that create uncertainty about ownership or use of technology essential to our business and divert our managerial and other resources.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to operate without infringing the intellectual property rights of others. Third parties may, in the future, claim our current or future services, products, trademarks, technologies, business methods or processes infringe their intellectual property rights, or challenge the validity of our intellectual property rights. We may be subject to patent infringement claims or other intellectual property infringement claims that would be costly to defend and could limit our ability to use certain critical technologies or business methods. We may also become subject to interference proceedings conducted in the patent and trademark offices of various countries to determine the priority of inventions.

The defense and prosecution, if necessary, of intellectual property suits, interference proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings can become very costly and may divert our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. We may not prevail in any of these suits or proceedings. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could require us to pay substantial compensatory and exemplary damages, could restrain us from using critical technologies, business methods or processes, and could result in us losing, or not gaining, valuable intellectual property rights.

Furthermore, due to the voluminous amount of discovery frequently conducted in connection with intellectual property litigation, some of our confidential information could be disclosed to competitors during this type of litigation. In addition, public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation could be perceived negatively by investors, and thus have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.

We may be required to expand or upgrade our infrastructure and advertiser support capabilities.


infrastructure.

Our ability to provide high-quality services largely depends upon the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications systems. We (or our third party service providers) may be required to expand or upgrade our (or their) technology, infrastructure, andfulfillment capabilities, or customer support capabilities in order to accommodate any significant growth in customers.customers or to replace aging or faulty equipment or technologies. We (or they) may not be able to project accurately the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of our services or expand and upgrade our (or their) systems and infrastructure to accommodate these increases in a timely manner.

Any expansion of our (or our third party service providers’) infrastructure may require us (or them) to make significant upfront expenditures for servers, routers, computer equipment, and additional internet and intranet equipment, as well as to increase bandwidth for internet connectivity. Any such expansion or enhancement may cause system disruptions.

Our (or our third party service providers’) inability to expand or upgrade and expand our technology, infrastructure, andfulfillment capabilities, customer support capabilities or equipment as required or without disruptions could impair the reputation of our brand and our services and diminish the attractiveness of our service offerings to our advertisers.


Any expansion of our infrastructure may require us to make significant upfront expenditures for servers, routers, computer equipment, and additional Internet and intranet equipment, as well as to increase bandwidth for Internet connectivity.  Any such expansion or enhancement will need to be completed and integrated without system disruptions.  An inability to expand our infrastructure or customer service capabilities either internally or through third parties, if and when necessary, would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current economic conditions may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.

The U.S. and global economy is currently undergoing a gradual and extended recovery from a prolonged recession and a period of unprecedented volatility.  It is unclear how prolonged this recovery will be and how it will affect our industry in particular. Many believe that the general future economic environment may continue to be less favorable than that of recent years.  If the challenging economic conditions in the U.S. and other key countries persist or worsen, our customers may delay or reduce spending.  This could result in reductions in sales of our products and services, longer sales cycles and increased price competition.  Any of these events would likely harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
clients.

We may have an adverse resolution of litigation that may harm our operating results or financial condition.


At times, we are a party to lawsuits in the normal course of our business.lawsuits. Litigation can be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution of a particular lawsuit could require us to pay substantial damages or to comply with court orders that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition.

We may fail to retain existing merchants, or add new merchants, in our promotional marketing business.

Our promotional marketing business depends in part on our strategic partners to publish discounted products and services we source from our SMB clients. We depend on our ability to attract and retain SMBs that are prepared to offer products or services on compelling terms through our strategic partners. We are a recent entrant to this market and we do not have long-term arrangements to guarantee the availability of deals that offer attractive quality, value and variety to consumers or favorable payment terms to us. We must continue to attract and retain merchants in various geographical areas to our promotional marketing business in order to increase revenue and achieve profitability. If new merchants do not find our marketing and promotional services effective, or if existing merchants do not believe that utilizing our products provides them with a long-term increase in customers, revenues or profits, they may stop making offers through us. In addition, we may experience attrition in our merchants in the ordinary course of business resulting from several factors, including losses to competitors and merchant closures or bankruptcies. If we are unable to attract new merchants in numbers sufficient to grow our promotional marketing business, or if too many merchants are unwilling to offer products or services with compelling terms through our strategic partners, or to offer favorable payment terms to us, we may sell fewer daily deals and our operating results will be adversely affected.

16

Our promotional marketing business depends heavily on our strategic partners.

Our promotional marketing business is highly dependent upon our ability to sell discounted products and services offered by our SMB clients through our strategic partners. Unlike many of our established competitors, we currently lack a significant subscriber base for selling these offers to potential customers of these SMB clients. Instead, we rely on our strategic partners, some of whom have extremely large user bases, to publish these offers to reach these potential customers. We do not have long-term relationships with these strategic partners. Our agreements with these strategic partners generally permit our partners to terminate the agreement with short or no prior notice, for convenience, and/or do not require our partners to publish the offers we source from our SMB clients.

Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes, fires, floods and other natural catastrophic events and to interruption by man-made problems such as computer viruses or terrorism.

Our service systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, fires, floods, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, acts of war, human errors, break-ins and similar events. For example, a significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire or flood, could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition, and our insurance coverage will likely be insufficient to compensate us for losses that may occur. Our servers may also be vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems, which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of critical data or the unauthorized disclosure of confidential intellectual property or client data. We may not have sufficient protection or recovery plans in certain circumstances, such as natural disasters affecting the Las Vegas or San Diego area, and our business interruption insurance may be insufficient to compensate us for losses that may occur. As we rely heavily on our servers, computer and communications systems and the internet to conduct our business and provide high quality customer service, such disruptions could negatively impact our ability to operate our business, which could have a material and adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

We have made strategic acquisitions and divestitures in the past few years and may complete similar transactions in the future and cannot assure you that any future transactions will be successful.


We

As part of our business strategy, we have acquired a number of businesses and assets, including our recent acquisition of LiveOpenly, Inc., and we regularly look for opportunities to support our new business strategy through appropriate acquisitions, divestitures and/orand strategic alliances. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying appropriate transaction partners or integrating the results of any such transactionsacquired businesses into our operations in a way that ultimately supports our business strategy.  Any such transactions could also involvestrategy or revenues. We may enter into additional acquisitions, business combinations or strategic alliances in the future. Acquisitions may result in dilutive issuanceissuances of equity securities, and/or theuse of our cash resources, incurrence of debt.debt and amortization of expenses related to intangible assets acquired. In addition, future strategic transactionsthe process of integrating an acquired company, business or technology, which requires a substantial commitment of resources and management’s attention, may involve numerous othercreate unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The acquisition of a company or business is accompanied by a number of risks, including but not limited to:


including:

 §·exposure to unanticipated liabilities of an acquired company (or acquired assets);

 §·difficulties integrating or developing acquired technology into our services or acquired products or services into our operations, and unanticipated expenses or disruptions related to such integration;

·the potential loss of key customerspartners or key personnel in connection with, or as the result of, a transaction;
11

 §·the impairment of relationships with clients of the acquired business, or our own clients, partners or employees, as a result of any integration of operations or the expansion of our offerings;

·the recording of goodwill and intangible assets that will be subject to impairment testing on a regular basis and potential periodic impairment charges;

 §·the diversion of the attention of our management team from other business concerns, including the day-to-day management of our Company and/businesses or the internal growth strategies that theywe are currently implementing; and

 §·the risk of entering into markets or producing products where we have limited or no experience, including the integration or removal of the purchasedacquired or disposed technologies and products with or from our existing technologies and products.products; and

·the inability properly to implement or remediate internal controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company at businesses that prior to our acquisition were not subject to federal securities laws and may have lacked appropriate controls, procedures and policies.

17

Risks Related to the Internet

We may not be able to adapt as the Internetinternet, mobile technologies and advertisercustomer demands continue to evolve.


The internet, e-commerce, the online marketing industry and mobile devices are characterized by:

·rapid technological change;

·changes in customer and user requirements and preferences;

·frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies and business logic; and

·the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our existing service offerings, technology, and hardware and software infrastructure obsolete.

In order to compete successfully in the future, we must:

·enhance our existing services and develop new services and technology that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our prospective or current customers;

·license, develop or acquire technologies useful in our business on a timely basis; and

·respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.

Our failure to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or client requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The Internet, e-commerce,

Our business could be negatively impacted if the security of our or our partners’ equipment becomes compromised.

To the extent that our activities involve the storage and the online marketing industry are characterized by:


§rapid technological change;

§changes in advertiser and user requirements and preferences;

§frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies; and

§the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our existing service offerings, technology, and hardware and software infrastructure obsolete.
In ordertransmission of proprietary information about our customers or users, security breaches could damage our reputation and expose us to compete successfully in the future, we must:
§enhance our existing services and develop new services and technology that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our prospective or current advertisers;

§license, develop or acquire technologies useful in our business on a timely basis; and

§respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.
a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to minimize problems caused by security breaches. Our (or our third party service providers’) security measures may not prevent security breaches. The failure to prevent these security breaches or a misappropriation of proprietary information may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we are not able to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial results, which could cause our stock price to fall or result in our stock being delisted.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable and accurate financial reports. We will need to devote significant resources and time to comply with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley with respect to internal control over financial reporting. In addition, Section 404 under Sarbanes-Oxley requires that we assess the design and operating effectiveness of our controls over financial reporting. Our ability to comply with the annual internal control report requirement will depend on the effectiveness of our financial reporting and data systems and controls across our company and our operating subsidiaries. We expect these systems and controls to become increasingly complex to the extent that we integrate acquisitions and our business grows. To effectively manage this complexity, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial, and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation or operation of these controls, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations, which could adversely affect our business and jeopardize our listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, either of which would harm our stock price.

Risks Related to the Internet

We may be unable to keep pace with rapid technological change in the Internetinternet industry.


In order to remain competitive, we will be required continually to enhance and improve the functionality and features of our existing products and services, which could require us to invest significant capital.capital or make substantial changes to our personnel, technologies or equipment. If our competitors introduce new products and services embodying new technologies or if new industry standards and practices emerge, our existing services, technologies, and systems may become obsolete.obsolete or uncompetitive. We may not have the funds or technical know-howknowledge to upgrade our services, technology, andtechnologies, or systems. If we face material delays in introducing new services,or enhanced products and enhancements,services, our advertiserscustomers and users may forego the use of our services and select those of our competitors, in which event our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

18

Regulation of the Internetinternet may adversely affect our business.


The laws governing the internet remain largely unsettled, even in areas where legislation has been enacted. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws, such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, defamation, product liability, and taxation apply to the internet and internet services. Unfavorable resolution of these issues may substantially harm our business and operating results.

Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internetinternet and online services such as online Yellow Pages, federal, state, local, and foreign governments may adopt laws and regulations, or amend existing laws and regulations, with respect to the Internetinternet and other online services. These laws and regulations may affect issues such as user privacy, pricing, content, taxation, copyrights, distribution, product liability and quality of products and services.  The laws governing the Internet remain largely unsettled, even in areas where legislation has been enacted.  It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws, such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel, and taxation apply to the Internet and Internet advertising and directory services. In addition, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, both in the United States and abroad, that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business over the Internet.internet, including those covering user privacy, data protection, spyware, “do not email” lists, “do not call” lists, access to high speed and broadband service. Other laws and regulations that have been adopted, or may be adopted in the future, that may affect our business include pricing, taxation (including sales, value-added and other transactional taxes), tariffs, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, export of encryption technology, electronic contracting, click-fraud, acceptable content, search terms, lead generation, behavioral targeting, consumer protection, and quality of products and services. Any new legislation could hinder the growth in use of the Internetinternet generally or in our industry and could impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online, which could, in turn, decrease the demand for our products and services, increase our cost of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may not be able to obtain Internetinternet domain names that we would like to have.


We believe that our existing Internetinternet domain names are an extremely important part of our business. We may desire, or it may be necessary in the future, to use these or other domain names in the United States and abroad.internationally. Various Internetinternet regulatory bodies regulate the acquisition and maintenance of domain names in the United States and other countries. These regulations are subject to change. Governing bodies may establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we may be unable to acquire or maintain relevant domain names in all countries in which we plan to conduct business in the future.


The extent to which laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights will be extended to protect domain names currently is not clear. We therefore may be unable to prevent competitors from acquiring domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our domain names, trademarks, trade names, and other proprietary rights. We cannot provide assurance that potential users and advertiserscustomers will not confuse our domain names, trademarks, and trade names with other similar names and marks. If that confusion occurs, we may lose business to a competitor and some advertiserscustomers and users may have negative experiences with other companies that those advertiserscustomers and users erroneously associate with us.  The inability to acquire and maintain domain names that we desire to use in our business, and the use of confusingly similar domain names by our competitors, could have a material adverse affect on our business, prospects, financial conditions, and results of operations in the future.


Our business could be negatively impacted if the security of the Internet becomes compromised.

To the extent that our activities involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information about our advertisers or users, security breaches could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability.  We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to minimize problems caused by security breaches.  Our security measures may not prevent security breaches. Our failure to prevent these security breaches or a misappropriation of proprietary information may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our technical systems could be vulnerable to online security risks, service interruptions or damage to our systems.


Our (or our third party service providers’) systems and operations may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, sabotage, computer viruses, penetration of our network by unauthorized computer users or “hackers,” natural disaster, and similar events. Preventing, alleviating, or eliminating computer viruses and other service-related or security problems may require interruptions, delays or cessation of service. We may need to expend significant resources protecting against the threat of security breaches or alleviating potential or actual service interruptions. The occurrence of such unanticipated problems or security breaches could cause material interruptions or delays in our business, loss of data, or misappropriation of proprietary or IAP advertiser-related information or could render us unable to provide services to our advertiserscustomers for an indeterminate length of time. The occurrence of any or all of these events could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.


If we are sued for content distributed through, or linked to by, our website or those of our advertisers,customers, we may be required to spend substantial resources to defend ourselves and could be required to pay monetary damages.


We aggregate and distribute third-party data and other content over the Internet.internet. In addition, third-party websites are accessible through our website or those of our advertisers.customers. As a result, we could be subject to legal claims for defamation, negligence, intellectual property infringement, and product or service liability.liability or other torts. Other claims may be based on errors or false or misleading information provided on or through our website or websites of our directory licensees.  Other claims may be basedcustomers, or on links to sexually explicit or gambling websites and sexually explicit advertisements. We may need to expend substantial resources to investigate and defend these claims, regardless of whether we successfully defend against them. While we carry general business insurance, the amount of coverage we maintain may not be adequate. In addition, implementing measures to reduce our exposure to this liability may require us to spend substantial resources and limit the attractiveness of our contentproducts or services to users.

19

If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to a client’s data, our service may be perceived as not being secure and clients may curtail or stop using our service.

Our service may involve the storage and transmission of clients’ proprietary information, such as credit card and bank account numbers, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information, litigation and possible liability. Our payment services may be susceptible to credit card and other payment fraud schemes, including unauthorized use of credit cards, debit cards or bank account information, identity theft or merchant fraud.

If our security measures are breached in the future as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to our clients’ data, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liabilities. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and frequently are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and we could lose sales and clients.

Our revenue may be negatively affected if we are required to charge sales tax or other transaction taxes on all or a portion of our past and future sales to customers located in jurisdictions where we are currently not collecting and reporting tax.

We generally do not charge, collect or have imposed upon us sales, value added (VAT) or other transaction taxes related to the products and services we sell, except for certain corporate level taxes and transaction level taxes outside of the United States. However, the federal, state, and local governments or one or more foreign countries may seek to impose sales or other transaction tax obligations on us in the future. A successful assertion by any tax jurisdiction in which we do business that we should be collecting sales or other transaction taxes on the sale of our products or services, or the adoption of new laws to require us to collect such taxes, could result in substantial tax liabilities related to past sales, create increased administrative burdens or costs, discourage customers from purchasing or continuing to purchase products or services from us, decrease our ability to compete or otherwise substantially harm our business and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Securities


We have experienced difficulties maintaining compliance with applicable requirements for the continued listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and any future failure to comply with such requirements could result in the delisting of common stock from that trading market.

During our 2011 fiscal year, we fell out of compliance with certain requirements for the continued listing of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market, including the requirements that we maintain (i) at least 500,000 “publicly held” shares of common stock (i.e., shares not held by directors, officers or 10% stockholders), (ii) at least $2.5 million of stockholders’ equity, and (iii) a market value of our “publicly held” shares of at least $1.0 million. While we obtained a notice from NASDAQ on August 23, 2012 that we regained compliance with the applicable listing rules, and on November 30, 2012 that we were removed from further compliance monitoring, we can provide no assurance that we will remain in compliance with NASDAQ’s listing requirements, or that our common stock will continue to be traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market or any other market.

Stock prices of technology companies have declined precipitously at times in the past and the trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile over the past few years and investors could experience losses in response to factors including the following, many of which are beyond our control:

 §·decreased demand in the Internetinternet services sector;

 §·variations in our operating results;
13

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

 §·changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;

 §·our failure to meet analysts’ expectations;

 §·changes in operating and stock price performance of other technology companies similar to us;

20
 

§·conditions or trends in the technology industry, the online marketing industry or the mobile device industry;

 §·additions or departures of key personnel;personnel or strategic partners; and

 §·future sales of our debt or equity securities, including common stock.

Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with securities trading in those markets. These fluctuations, as well as political events, terrorist attacks, threatened or actual war, and general economic conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock. In the past, securities holders of other companies often have initiated securities class action litigation against those companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies’ securities. If the market price of our stock fluctuates and our stockholders initiate this type of litigation, we could incur substantial costs and experience a diversion of our management’s attention and resources, regardless of the outcome. This could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our stock price may be volatile, and the value of an investment in our common stock may decline.

An active, liquid and orderly market for our common stock may not be developed or sustained, which could depress the trading price of our common stock.

The trading price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

·our operating performance and the operating performance of similar companies;

·the overall performance of the equity markets;

·the number of shares of our common stock publicly owned and available for trading;

·threatened or actual litigation;

·changes in laws or regulations relating to our solutions;

·any major change in our Board of Directors or management;

·publication of research reports about us or our industry or changes in recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts;

·large volumes of sales of our shares of common stock by existing stockholders; and

·general political and economic conditions.

Due to our concentrated stock ownership, public stockholders may have no effective voice in our management and the trading price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

Three stockholders beneficially own approximately 60.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock, and one of them, our CEO, is the beneficial owner of approximately 39.6% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Each of these three stockholders also has a contractual right to nominate one member of our Board of Directors. These stockholders, collectively, have the ability to determine the outcome of the election of directors at our annual meetings and to determine the outcome of many significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations, dissolutions or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, many of which only require the approval of a majority of our voting power. These stockholders may have interests that differ from other stockholders and may vote in a way with which other stockholders disagree and which may be adverse to other stockholders’ interests. Moreover, such a concentration of voting power could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring us at a premium. This significant concentration of share ownership may also adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with concentrated stock ownership.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future due to our limited funds for operations. Therefore, any return on your investment would likely come only from an increase in the market value of our common stock.

21

Certain provisions of Nevada law, in our organizational documents and in our chartercontracts to which we are party may prevent or delay a change of control of our company.


company.

We are subject to the Nevada anti-takeover laws regulating corporate takeovers. These anti-takeover laws prevent Nevada corporations from engaging in a merger, consolidation, sales of its stock or assets, and certain other transactions with any stockholder, including all affiliates and associates of the stockholder, who owns 10% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock, for three years following the date that the stockholder acquired 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, except in certain situations. In addition, our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws include a number of provisions that may deter or impede hostile takeovers or changes of control or management. These provisions include the following:


 §·the authority of our boardBoard of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences, and privileges of these shares, without stockholder approval;

 §·stockholders must comply with advance notice requirements to transact any business at the annual meeting;

·all stockholder actions must be effected at a duly called meeting of stockholders and not by written consent, unless such action or proposal is first approved by our boardBoard of directors;Directors;

 §·special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the President of our company; and

 §·a director may be removed from office only for cause by the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power entitled to vote at an election of directors;

·our Board of Directors is expressly authorized to alter, amend or repeal our bylaws;

·newly-created directorships and vacancies on our Board of Directors may only be filled by a majority of remaining directors, and not by our stockholders; and

·cumulative voting is not allowed in the election of our directors.

These provisions of Nevada law and our articles and bylaws could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change of control of our company and may discourage attempts by other companies to acquire us, even if such a transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders.

In addition, provisions in a Securities Purchase Agreement we entered into in December 2011 grant each of three of our stockholders the right to nominate one member of our Board of Directors.

Our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act.


Act of 1934.

In the event that no exclusion from the definition of “penny stock” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is available, then any broker engaging in a transaction in our common stock will be required to provide its customers with a risk disclosure document, disclosure of market quotations, if any, disclosure of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market values of our securities held in the customer’s accounts. The bid and offer quotation and compensation information must be provided prior to effecting the transaction and must be contained on the customer’s confirmation of sale. Certain brokers are less willing to engage in transactions involving “penny stocks” as a result of the additional disclosure requirements described above, which may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to dispose of their shares.


14

Our stock price may result in our failure to maintain compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rules related to minimum stock price requirements, which could result in NASDAQ delisting our common stock.

NASDAQ Listing Rules require us to maintain a closing bid price of $1.00 per share for our common stock.  In the event that our common stock closing bid price falls below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we would likely receive notice from NASDAQ that we are not in compliance with Listing Rules, which could ultimately lead to the delisting of our common stock from NASDAQ if we were unable to maintain the requisite minimum stock price during the subsequent probationary period.  In the event that we were delisted from NASDAQ, our common stock would become significantly less liquid, which would adversely affect its value.  Although our common stock would likely be traded over-the-counter or on pink sheets, these types of listings involve more risk and trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities traded on NASDAQ.  On April 8, 2010, LiveDeal received a letter from NASDAQ’s Listing Qualifications Department informing the Company of its failure to comply with NASDAQ’s minimum bid price requirement.  At the time, the Company was given a 180-day grace period (until October 5, 2010) to regain compliance, during which time the Company’s common stock continued to be traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market.  Effective on September 7, 2010, LiveDeal implemented a 1-for-10 reverse stock split as a strategy to increase its minimum bid price and regain compliance with NASDAQ rules.  On September 21, 2010, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ confirming that it had regained compliance with the applicable rules, and that the matter was closed.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will maintain compliance with applicable NASDAQ listing rules in the future, or that our common stock will continue to be traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market (or any other securities exchange or market).

Joe Cunningham v. LiveDeal, Inc. et al.

On July 16, 2008, Joseph Cunningham, who was at the time a memberexpenditure of LiveDeal’s Board of Directors, filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safetysignificant financial and Health Administration (“OSHA”) alleging that the Companymanagerial resources and certain members of its Board of Directors had engaged in discriminatory employment practices in violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002’s statutory protections for corporate whistleblowers when the Board of Directors removed him as Chairman on May 22, 2008.  In his complaint, Mr. Cunningham asked OSHA to order his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company or, in the alternative, to order his reinstatement as Chairman of the Board.  Mr. Cunningham also sought back pay, special damagescould adversely affect our net income and litigation costs.
On July 16, 2010, Mr. Cunningham attempted to amend his OSHA complaint to include an additional adverse action allegation.  On September 20, 2010, OSHA issued a letter informing Mr. Cunningham that as a former board member and alleged prospective interim CEO, he is not considered an “employee” under the relevant statute, which is a required element for his claims.  Accordingly, OSHA dismissed Mr. Cunningham’s complaint.
On October 20, 2010, Mr. Cunningham filed objections to OSHA’s findings.  Mr. Cunningham's appeal of OSHA’s ruling is currently pending.

State of Washington v. LiveDeal, Inc. et al.

On December 16, 2006, the State of Washington Attorney General’s office entered into a Consent Decree with LiveDeal, Inc. (known at the time as YP Corp.) and its subsidiary, Telco Billing, Inc.  Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the Company agreed to provide certain confidential, trade secret information to the Attorney General’s office as part of the settlement of a regulatory dispute between the State of Washington and the Company.

On July 14, 2009, the Attorney General’s office contacted the Company to request certain confidential, trade secret information to which it was entitled under the Consent Decree.  The Company acknowledged its obligation to provide the requested information but asked the Attorney General’s office to verify that it would not provide such information to third parties.  When the Company was informed by opposing legal counsel in a private litigation matter that the Attorney General’s office intended to provide its confidential, trade secret information to such counsel’s client and other third parties immediately upon receipt, the Company began taking certain steps to protect the sensitive information while complying with its obligations under the Consent Decree.

Following unsuccessful settlement discussions in which the Attorney General’s office refused to enter into any agreement not to share the confidential information with third parties (including the Company’s opponents in pending private litigation), the Company sought a protective order in the State of Washington’s King County Superior Court (Case No. 06-2-39213-2 SEA) on September 8, 2009, which was denied on November 16, 2009.  The Company appealed in State of Washington’s Court of Appeals (Division I, Case No. 64539-1) and moved to stay the effect of the November 16, 2009 ruling.  The appeal was denied.  After denial of the appeal, the Company and the Attorney General's office cooperatively resolved their dispute.  The matter is considered closed.

Changes in Business Strategy; New Products and Services

Change in Business Strategy. We have been engaged in a significant re-evaluation of and adjustment to our business informationstrategy over the last several years. The focus of these efforts has been two-fold: first, to make our product offerings more appealing in one location and maximize their reach to the many destinations a consumer may searchevolving market for local business services.


InstantProfile’s social media platform, InstantBUZZ, not only creates a presence for the advertiser in select social media networks, it also allows them to use one location to broadcast their messages across their entire social media network. By leveraging this automation the advertiser eliminates the need to manage multiple logins for individual websites and duplicate submissions and decreases the time required to broadcast their messages from hours to one click of a button.

For those starting with the more customized products and services, InstantAgency® can continue to drive more online visitors, callers and in turn customers based on the customer budget.  Our strategic advantage is the ability to service the small business customer regardless of their budget or online knowledge.

Recent Events & Transactions

Financial Performance

We have embarked on a significant change in business strategy to re-emphasize our legacy business (directory services offering) and update it to meet current market requirements and move ahead of our competitors in this market segment. In connection with this re-evaluation, we terminated all new sales under our direct sales business line on December 1, 2010, and on July 15, 2011, we discontinued all new sales of our InstantProfile® product. As a result we haveof the cessation of our marketing efforts to acquire new customers, and the attrition of existing customers, our net revenues continued to experience a decline, from $4.1 million in revenuesfiscal 2011 to $3.1 million in fiscal 2012 and gross profit over the last several quarters, but have also reduced our ongoing costs$2.4 million in fiscal 2013.

Promotional Marketing and expenses and reduced ongoing losses. While we have yet to achieve sufficient sales in our new InstantProfile business to allow us to achieve operating profitability, we began to achieve growth in revenues in this business segment during fiscal 2010 with sales officially launching in July 2010.

Change in Business Strategy
In and around March 2010, we evaluated our business and adopted aOnline Presence Marketing (Velocity Local). We recently launched two new business lines under new management after a period of re-evaluating our sales program, products, distribution methods and vendor programs.

In August 2012, we commenced sourcing local deal and activities to strategic publishing partners under our LiveDeal®brand, which we refer to as promotional marketing. In November 2012, we commenced the sale of marketing tools that help local businesses manage their online presence under our Velocity Localbrand, which we refer to as online presence marketing.

We offer our SMB customers packages of services to create and maintain an online presence. Products and services we offer include template and custom website design, either optimized for desktop or mobile devices, social media marketing, or SMM, and content marketing, or CM. In combination, these products offer a comprehensive online marketing strategy for SMBs at affordable rates. We believe that addressed eachour online presence marketing products are useful to a large share of our business segments as separate entitiesSMBs because they enable potential customers to gain awareness of and re-launchedlocate an SMB and restructured our legacy line of business. This evaluation was necessitated by the challenges facing our Direct Sales - Customer Acquisition Services business lines that provide Internet-based customer acquisition strategies for small business, as well as declining revenues from our traditional business line (i.e. directory services).  Additionally, current economicto learn about and regulatory forces, both generalpurchase its products and specific to our industry, impacted our consideration of our existing business model and strategy.  Some of these factors include the following:

services.

§The current effects of the recovery from the recent recession and general economic downturn;25
 

LiveDeal.com. In September 2013, we launched LiveDeal.com, which redefined the Company’s strategy and direction, centering its focus on the new LiveDeal.com platform and growing the base of restaurants utilizing the LiveDeal platform to attract new customers. LiveDeal.com is a unique, real-time “deal engine” connecting merchants with consumers. The Company believes that it has developed the first-of-its-kind web/mobile platform providing restaurants with full control and flexibility to instantly publish customized offers whenever they wish to attract customers.

Highlights of the new LiveDeal.com include:

§Our perceptiona user-friendly interface enabling restaurants to create limited-time offers and publish them immediately, or on a preset schedule that is fully customizable;
state-of-the-art scheduling technology giving restaurants the general economic downturn could lead our businessfreedom to choose the days, times and duration of the offers, enabling them to create offers that entice consumers to visit their establishment during their slower periods;
advanced publishing options allowing restaurants to manage traffic by limiting the number of available vouchers to consumers;
superior geo-location technology allowing multi-location restaurants to segment offers by location, attracting customers to seek lower-cost customer acquisition methods, primarilyslower locations while eliminating potential over-crowding at busier sites; and
a user-friendly mobile and desktop web interface allowing consumers to easily browse, download, and instantly redeem “live” offers found on LiveDeal.com based on their location.

Restaurants can sign up to use the LiveDeal platform at our website (www.livedeal.com).

We believe one of the primary challenges facing the dining industry is the inefficient and limited number of ways restaurants are able to market offers and promotions to their potential customers. Daily deal companies typically dictate offer terms, such as the discount amount and redemption details. This not only erodes potential profits for restaurant owners but could also drive traffic during already-busy periods for the restaurants. LiveDeal’s model benefits both the restaurant and the consumer because it provides the restaurant the opportunity to create any offer they choose, limit the number of potential claimants of their promotion, publish the offer on days and at times of their choosing, and provides customers with relevant offers they can easily and quickly redeem while creating a cost-effective model for LiveDeal to grow and easily scale its operations. We expect to initially derive revenues through premium placement on the site, and we are also exploring various options for monetizing the website.

The Company, best known for migrating print yellow pages to the Internet in 1994, began to develop the model for LiveDeal.com after having worked closely with well-known publishers in the daily deal market. In mid-2013, we tested the beta platform in a number of cities, and the model has been well received by restaurants, consumers, and various restaurant associations. We launched LiveDeal.com in the San Diego and Los Angeles, California markets in September 2013 and December 2013, respectively. The Company believes it can cost-effectively expand into other cities due to the scalability of the LiveDeal.com platform, as restaurants can curate deals through our account managers or create specials on their own. In addition, individual customers transact directly with the restaurant, eliminating the need for the Company to act as an intermediary in the sale.

Trends in Revenues. We continue to actively develop, revise and evaluate these products and services and our marketing strategies and procedures. We continue to generate a significant portion of our revenue from servicing our existing customers under our legacy product offerings, primarily our InstantProfile® line of products and services. Because of the change in our business strategy and product lines, we no longer accept new customers under our legacy product offerings.

Because of the infancy of our new lines of business, we have yet to generate significant revenue from our online presence marketing or our promotional marketing lines of business. Given that we have not been accepting new customers for our legacy product offerings since July 2011 and that we did not launch our new product offerings until August 2012, our revenues declined for fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 as we continued to build a foundation for our new products and services and position the Company for future growth through our LiveDeal.com and Velocity Local offerings.

Employment Agreement with President and CEO

On January 13, 2012, our Board of Directors appointed Jon Isaac to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. At the time, the Company did not enter into a written Employment Agreement with Mr. Isaac, but he was paid an annual salary of $1 for his services and was eligible to receive bonuses in such forms and amounts as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee.

On February 14, 2013, the Company entered into a written Employment Agreement with Jon Isaac, pursuant to which he will continue serving as our President and Chief Executive Officer for the period from January 1, 2013 to January 1, 2016.  The material terms of the Employment Agreement are as follows:

·$200,000 annual base salary throughout the Internet;term of the Employment Agreement.

·Eligibility to receive performance-based bonuses in the sole discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee.

 §·The terminationA one-time discretionary bonus of certain significant directory business contracts related$150,000 for services performed as President and Chief Executive Officer for the previous 12 months, to be paid in cash on or before March 31, 2013.  This bonus was approved by the traditional business; andCompany’s Compensation Committee.

 §·Continuing losses in our Direct Sales business.Reimbursement for reasonable housing expenses.
As a result, we made significant changes to our business strategy during the second quarter of fiscal 2010.  We decided to move our strategic focus towards our directory services business and bring it up to current market standards and regulatory requirements and away from our Direct Sales business line.   This strategy culminated in the termination of all new sales under the Direct Sales business line on December 1, 2010.
Our new strategic focus is on delivering a suite of Internet-based, local search driven, customer acquisition services for small businesses, sold via telemarketing using LEC billing channels and targeting all segments of the SMB market through our Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc. subsidiary.

Management Changes

On November 23, 2009, we and Richard F.

Previously, the Employment Agreement provided that Mr. Sommer was entitled to a success fee payable in cash equal to 2% of the excess above $9,000,000 of any cash distributed to or received by our stockholders in the form of a dividend, in the event of liquidation or upon a change of control.  Pursuant to this amendment, that provision was deleted and replaced with the option grant described above.  Other than as described above, the original terms of Mr. Sommer’s Employment Agreement remained in full force and effect.

Effective January 2, 2010, Rajeev Seshadri resigned as our Chief Financial Officer and was replaced by Lawrence W. Tomsic.  Mr. Tomsic recently served as Controller for Alliance Residential Company, an apartment complex with 3,221 units and $90 million in annual sales.  Previously, he was a Controller and Chief Financial Officer for various clients of JKL Consulting (including a planned unit development and a concrete contractor) from 2006-2008 and Chief Financial Officer of John R.

Restructuring Activities
On January 4, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a reduction in force that resulted in the termination of approximately 33% of the Company's workforce, effective January 7, 2010.  On February 23, 2010, our Board of Directors approved an additional reduction in force that resulted in the termination of approximately 20% of our workforce, effective March 4, 2010.  These reductions in force were related to our ongoing restructuring and cost reduction efforts as the Board of Directors explores a variety of strategic alternatives, including the potential sale of the Company or certain of its assets and/or the acquisition of other entities or businesses.
We incurred charges of $143,000 in connection with the reductions in force, consisting of one-time employee termination benefits.  All amounts were paid as of June 30, 2010.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make certainmany estimates and assumptions that may materially affect theboth our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, such as reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  As such, in accordance withperiod, and the usecomparability of accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statesinformation presented over different reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions are based on management's experience and other information available prior to the issuance of America, our financial statements. Our actual realized results may differ materially from management’s initial estimates as reported. Summaries of our significant accounting policies are detailed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which are an integral component of this filing.


The discussion in this section of "critical" accounting estimates and assumptions is according to the disclosure guidelines of the SEC, wherein:

·the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and

·the impact of the estimates and assumptions on our  financial condition or operating performance is material.

Besides those meeting these "critical" criteria, we make many other accounting estimates and assumptions in preparing our financial statements and related disclosures. Although not associated with “highly uncertain matters,” these estimates and assumptions are also subject to revision as circumstances warrant, and materially different results may sometimes occur.

The following summarizes critical“critical” estimates and assumptions made by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition


Local Marketing Experts, Inc. (former Direct Sales – Customer Acquisition Services).  Our direct sales contracts typically involve upfront billing for an initial payment followed by monthly billings over the contractual period.  

We recognize revenue on a straight line basis over the contractual period.  Billings in excess of recognized revenue are included as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


Previously, we recognized the valuefor our services when all of the noncancelable portion of the Direct Sales’ customer contract as a receivablefollowing criteria are satisfied:

·persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

·services have been performed;

·the selling price is fixed or determinable; and

·collectability is reasonably assured.

Through September 30, 2013, we have not generated significant revenue from our two new product offerings: online presence marketing and billed the customer for the amount of the contract over the period of the contract. We only recognized a portion of the contract value as revenue each month, approximately pro-rating the contract to a monthly amount, with the remainder of the noncancelable portion of the contract maintained as a deferred revenue liability. In the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we corrected our balance sheet presentation relatedpromotional marketing.

With respect to our direct sales contracts to include in accounts receivable only those amounts that are still outstanding receivables after having been billed in accordance with the terms of the contract.


Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc. (formerly Directory Services). Welegacy businesses, we generate revenue from customer subscriptions for directory and advertising services. We recognize revenues as services are rendered. In some instances, we receive payments in advance of rendering services, whereupon such revenues are deferred until the related services are rendered. Our billing and collection procedures include significant involvement of outside parties, referred to as aggregators for LEC billing and service providers for ACH billing. We provide allowances for customer refunds, non-paying customers and fees which are estimated at the time of billing.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


We estimate allowances for doubtful accounts for accounts that are billed directly by us as well as those serviced by third party aggregators and service providers (Processors)(processors).


21

We reflect the

Included in accounts receivable are amounts held in reserve by LEC aggregators as reserves for future refunds, billing adjustments, service fees, etc.  As we have ceased billing activities with many of these service providers, there is some uncertainty as to the Processors as accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the period that we received settlements from our billings through these LEC channels, the level of the reserves held by the Processors changed accordingly and the Processors often calculated the holdback amounts from the settlements due to us as ‘rolling reserves’ that we believe are actuarially estimated by them based on the level of business, the expectation of future billings from which to replenish such reserves, and other factors. The costs and expenses related to such settlements and reserve holdback amounts were recorded as expenses during the period that the settlements were received. With the cessationcollectability of such settlements, the costsreceivables and expenses are now related to the maintenance of the reserves held by the Processors. The reserves now held are not changing due to the cessation of billing activities by us, and accordingly, we have now made estimates of the costs and expenses that we are likely to incur to collect the holdback amounts held as reserves. These estimates lead to an accrual of expected costs over the expected length of the collection period of theincreased our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and, therefore, to an increase in the allowances, instead of recording such expenses as period costs as they are actually incurred as would have been the case if we continued to have regular billings through the Processors.


The allowance at September 30, 2010 included a reserve allowance of $703,732 resulting from the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing of one of our LEC aggregators, representing a reduction in the estimated collectability of our entire pre-petition outstanding receivable balance of $777,755. accordingly. 

The aggregate of accounts receivable balances from the LEC operations that do not have billing activity was $229,270 and $956,524 as of September 30, 2010 was $2,370,029,2013 and 2012, respectively, and the aggregate of corresponding allowances was $1,848,526.$140,085 and $853,452, respectively. These aggregate amounts include the accounts receivable balances and allowances for the accounts held by the Chapter 11 trustee.

bankruptcy filing of one of our LEC aggregators. At September 30, 2013 and 2012 we had $0 and $777,755 of accounts receivable and reserve allowance, respectively, associated with this LEC aggregator. This was settled on April 2, 2013 and $85,550 was received for settlement.

Carrying Value of Intangible Assets


Our intangible assets consist of licenses for the use of Internetinternet domain names or Universal Resource Locators,universal resource locators, or URLs, capitalized website development costs and software, other information technology licenses and marketing and technology relatedtechnology-related intangibles acquired through the acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc.acquisitions. All suchthese assets are capitalized at their original cost (or at fair value for assets acquired through business combinations) and amortized over their estimated useful lives. We capitalize internally generated software and website development costs in accordance with the provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”.


We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of intangible assets at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. In the event of such changes, impairment would be assessed if the expected undiscounted net cash flows derived for the asset are less than its carrying amount.


Goodwill

We evaluate our goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, which requires that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit containing our goodwill with the related carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the reporting unit’s goodwill is not considered to be impaired andDuring the second step is unnecessary. As a resultquarter of this analysis,fiscal 2011, $367,588 in net intangible assets were written off which were previously used in the discontinued direct sales business. A further evaluation was conducted in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 due to continued operating losses; however, it was determined that the entire goodwill balance attributableno further impairment existed at that time. In 2012, due to the Company’s acquisitions of OnCall Subscriber Management and LiveDeal, Inc.improved financial results, there were impaired and were written off during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.

Customer Acquisition Costs

We acquire customers primarily through outbound call campaigns whereby we incur costsno changes in events or circumstances which include the acquisition of calling lists, personnel costs, etc.  Customers subscribe to the services by affirmatively responding to those campaigns, which serve as the contract for the subscription.  Calling campaign costs are expensed as incurred.  We historically have also incurred costs to acquire customers in connection with certain fulfillment contracts.  Such costs were capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the related revenue stream.  All suchwould indicate carrying amounts have been fully amortized as of September 30, 2010.

would not be recoverable.

Income Taxes


Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance would be provided for those deferred tax assets for which if it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized.


We have estimated net deferred income tax assets (net of valuation allowances) of $0 at September 30, 20102013 and 2009.2012. A full valuation allowance has been established against all net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 20102013 and 20092012 based on estimates of recoverability. While we have optimistic plans for our new business strategy, we determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to our ability to generate sufficient profits from our new business model.lines. Therefore, we established a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets in excess of those expected to be realizable through the application of operating loss carrybacks.


22

We performed an analysis of uncertain tax positions and we did not identify any significant uncertainties that would affect the carrying value of our deferred tax assets and liabilities atas of September 30, 2010.2013 and 2012.

From time to time, we grant restricted stock awards and options to employees, directors, executives, and consultants.  Such awards are valued based on the grant date fair-value of the instruments, net of estimated forfeitures. The value of each award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  The impacts of changes in such estimates on unamortized deferred compensation cost are recorded as an adjustment to compensation expense in the period in which such estimates are revised.

During fiscal 2009, we were transitioning away from directory services toward our customer acquisition services, whose billings experience shorter collection times.  Accordingly we were able to reduce our collection times and our outstanding accounts receivable balances.  As of September 30, 2010, no single customer2013, three such entities accounted for greater than 10%44%, 25% and 18% of gross accounts receivable.
With respect to our customer acquisition services, we generally receive upfront payments averaging approximately one-sixth of the gross contract amount.  Subsequent payments are received on an installment basis after the application of the initial payment amounts and are billed ratably over the remaining life of the contract. Most customers purchasing these services elect to use their credit cards to effect payments, and therefore our collections are usually made within a few days of the installment due date.

Future Sources of Cash; New Products and Services

While our existing cash on hand is insufficient to sustain our current operating activities, we had a significant decline in cash flows provided by investing activities.

On May 25, 2007, the Company’s Boardbelieve that we will be able to secure additional resources to fund our operations. Other sources of Directors terminated its pre-existingfinancing may include stock repurchase planissuances (for example, pursuant to our Engagement Agreement with Chardan Capital Markets LLC, under which we may issue and replaced it with a new plan authorizing repurchases ofsell up to $1,000,000a maximum aggregate amount of 660,000 shares of our common stock from time to time through Chardan as our sales agent, using our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-187397) previously filed with the open market orSEC); additional loans (for example, through our sale and issuance of convertible notes pursuant to the $5 million line of credit that we entered into in privately negotiated transactions.  The repurchase plan was increased by another $500,000 on October 23, 2008.  During the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company acquired an aggregate of 1,341 and 34,611 shares of common stock for an aggregate repurchase price of $25,882 and $532,521, respectively.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk


As of September 30, 2010,2013, we did not participate in any market risk-sensitive commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required. We believe that we are not subject in any material way to other forms of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk or foreign customer purchases (of which there were none in fiscal 20102013 or 2009)2012) or commodity price risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of


and Stockholders

LiveDeal, Inc. and Subsidiaries


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LiveDeal, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 20102013 and 2009,2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended September 30, 2010.2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 20102013 and 2009,2012, and the results of theirits operations and theirits cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended September 30, 2010,2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles generally acceptedapplicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the United Statesnormal course of America.


business. The Company had a net loss of $5,747,014 for the year ended September 30, 2013 and had an accumulated deficit of $27,333,647 as of September 30, 2013. These factors, as discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to the matter are also described in Note 3. The statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LiveDeal, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1:Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LiveDeal, Inc. (formerly YP Corp.), a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). The Company delivers local customer acquisition services for small and medium-sized businesses combined with online listing services to deliver an affordable way for businesses to extend their marketing reach to local, relevant customers via the Internet.

The Company’s new strategic focus is on deliveringdeveloping and marketing a suite of Internet-based, local search driven, customer acquisitionaffordable products and services fordesigned to meet the online marketing needs of small and medium-sized businesses soldby boosting customer awareness and merchant visibility on the internet. The Company primarily sells this suite of products and services via telemarketing and supported by its websites and internally developed software.


telemarketing.

The following sets forth historical transactions with respect to the Company’s organizational development:


 ·Telco Billing, Inc. was formed in April 1998 to provide advertising and directory listings for businesses on its Internet website in a “Yellow Pages” format. Telco provides those services to its subscribers for a monthly fee. These services are provided primarily to businesses throughout the United States. Telco became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company after the June 1999 acquisition.

 ·At the time that the transaction was agreed to, the Company had 12,567,770 common shares issued and outstanding. As a result of the merger transaction with Telco, there were 29,567,770 common shares outstanding, and the former Telco stockholders held approximately 57% of the Company’s voting stock. For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was a reverse acquisition of the Company by Telco, under the purchase method of accounting, and was treated as a recapitalization with Telco as the acquirer. Consistent with reverse acquisition accounting, (i) all of Telco’s assets, liabilities, and accumulated deficit were reflected at their combined historical cost (as the accounting acquirer) and (ii) the preexisting outstanding shares of the Company (the accounting acquiree) were reflected at their net asset value as if issued on June 16, 1999.

 ·On June 6, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc. (“LiveDeal”), a California corporation. LiveDeal operated an online local classifieds marketplace, www.livedeal.com, which listed millions of goods and services for sale across the United States. The technology acquired in the acquisition offered such classifieds functionality as fraud protection, identity protection, e-commerce, listing enhancements, photos, community-building, package pricing, premium stores, featured Yellow Page business listings and advanced local search capabilities. This business has since been discontinued – seediscontinued. See Note 5.4.

 ·On July 10, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of OnCall Subscriber Management Inc., a Manila, Philippines-based company that provided telemarketing services. The acquisition took place through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, 247 Marketing LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, which remains in existence but is inactive.

 ·On August 10, 2007, the Company filed amended and restated articles of incorporation with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which the Company’s name was changed to LiveDeal, Inc., effective August 15, 2007. The name change was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to discretion granted to it by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting on August 2, 2007.

·During 2009, the Company made strategic changes that impacted the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the following manner:

oImpairment charges of $16,111,494 were recorded related to the write-down of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets as discussed in Note 4;
oThe Company commenced a plan to discontinue its classifieds business and initiated shutdown activities, as discussed in Note 5, and has reflected the operating results of this line of business as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations;
oThe Company sold a portion of its customer list associated with its directory services business and recorded a gain of $3,040,952, as discussed in Note 14; and
oThe Company established a valuation allowance of $10,586,854 related to its deferred tax assets, as described in Note 10.

 ·During 2010, the Company formedevaluated its business and adopted a new business strategy that addressed each of the wholly-owned subsidiaries Local Marketing Experts, Inc.Company’s business segments as separate entities and Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc.re-launched and restructured the Company’s legacy line of business. This evaluation was necessitated by the challenges facing the Company’s Direct Sales business lines that provide Internet-based customer acquisition strategies for small business, as well as declining revenues from the Company’s traditional business line (i.e. directory services).

·During 2011, as part of the Company’s strategy to evaluate each of the Company’s business segments as separate entities, management noted that the Direct Sales business segment had incurred operating losses and declining revenues and did not fit with the Company’s change in strategic direction. Accordingly, in March 2011, the Company made the strategic decision to discontinue our Direct Sales business and product offerings. Prior year financial statements have been restated to present the Direct Sales business segment as a discontinued operation.

·On August 16, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of LiveOpenly, Inc., a California corporation (“LiveOpenly”), which sourced, published and sold discounted offers for goods and services through local retail merchants, in exchange for the issuance of 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $420,000 of net assets, consisting entirely of intangible assets. No goodwill was recognized as the purchase price equaled the net assets received.

·During 2012, the Company also launched two new business lines under new management after a period of re-evaluating our sales program, products, distribution methods and vendor programs. First, we commenced the sale of marketing tools that help local businesses manage their online presence under our Velocity Localbrand, which we refer to as online presence marketing, in November 2012. Second, we commenced sourcing local deal and activities to strategic publishing partners under our LiveDeal® brand, which we refer to as promotional marketing, in August 2012. We continue to actively develop, revise and evaluate these products and services.

·During 2013, the Company launched LiveDeal.com, which redefined the Company’s strategy and direction, centering its focus on the new LiveDeal.com platform and growing the base of restaurants utilizing the LiveDeal platform to attract new customers.  LiveDeal.com is a unique, real-time “deal engine” connecting merchants with consumers. The Company believes that it has developed the first-of-its-kind web/mobile platform providing restaurants with full control and flexibility to instantly publish customized offers whenever they wish to attract customers.

The Company had a net loss of $5.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2013 and $1.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2012. The Company had an operating cash outflow of approximately $(1.8) million for the year ended September 30, 2013 and operating cash inflow of approximately $29,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012. The Company had cash of $761,458 as of September 30, 2013. Management believes the Company’s cash on hand and additional cash generated from operations together with potential sources of cash such through the issuance of debt or equity will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimate of dilution and fees associated with LEC billings, the estimated reserve for doubtful accounts receivable, estimated forfeiture rates for stock-based compensation, fair values in connection with the analysis of goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment, valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and estimated useful lives for intangible assets and property and equipment.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advances to affiliates and obligations under accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:  

This includes all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. At times, cash deposits may exceed government-insuredFDIC-insured limits.

40

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, LiveDeal,, Local Marketing Experts, Inc., Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc., 247 Marketing, Telco Billing, Inc. and Telco of Canada, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Property and Equipment:  

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Depreciation expense was $240,798$29,357 and $432,897$132,899 for the years ended September 30, 20102013 and 2009,2012, respectively.


Revenue Recognition:


Direct Sales – Customer Acquisition Services.

The Company’s direct sales contracts typically involve upfront billing for an initial payment followed by monthly billings over the contractual period.  The Company recognizes revenue on a straight line basis over the contractual period.  Billings in excess of recognized revenue are included as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Previously, the Company recognized the value of the noncancelable portion of the Direct Sales’ customer contract as a receivable and billed the customer for the amount of the contract over the period of the contract. The Company only recognized a portion of the contract value as revenue each month, approximately pro-rating the contract to a monthly amount, with the remainder of the noncancelable portion of the contract maintained as a deferred revenue liability.  In the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company corrected its balance sheet presentation related to its direct sales contracts to include in accounts receivable only those amounts that are outstanding receivables after having been billed in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Directory Services


Revenue is billed and recognized monthly for services subscribed in that specific month. The Company has historically utilized outside billing companies to perform billing services through two primary channels:


•      direct ACH withdrawals; and
•      inclusion on the customer’s local telephone bill provided by their Local Exchange Carriers, or LECs.

·direct ACH withdrawals; and
·inclusion on the customer’s local telephone bill provided by their Local Exchange Carriers, or LECs.

For billings via ACH withdrawals, revenue is recognized when such billings are accepted. For billings via LECs, the Company recognizes revenue based on net billings accepted by the LECs. Due to the periods of time for which adjustments may be reported by the LECs and the billing companies, the Company estimates and accrues for dilution and fees reported subsequent to year-end for initial billings related to services provided for periods within the fiscal year. Such dilution and fees are reported in cost of services in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Customer refunds are recorded as an offset to gross revenue.


During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company sold its then existing customer list pertaining to its direct customers billed through LECs.  The Company continues to service some wholesale accounts through LEC billing channels and is rebuilding its customer base billed through LECs through its Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc. subsidiary.

Revenue for billings to certain customers that are billed directly by the Company and not through the outside billing companies is recognized based on estimated future collections. The Company continuously reviews this estimate for reasonableness based on its collection experience.


Deals Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue from its sales through its strategic publishing partners of discounted goods and services offered by its merchant clients (“Deals”) when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the selling price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are met when the number of customers who purchase the daily deal exceeds the predetermined threshold, where, if applicable, the Deal has been electronically delivered to the purchaser and a listing of Deals sold has been made available to the merchant. At that time, the Company's obligations to the merchant, for which it is serving as an agent, are substantially complete. The Company's remaining obligations, which are limited to remitting payment to the merchant, are inconsequential or perfunctory. The Company records as revenue an amount equal to the net amount it retains from the sale of Deals after paying an agreed upon percentage of the purchase price to the featured merchant excluding any applicable taxes. Revenue is recorded on a net basis because the Company is acting as an agent of the merchant in the transaction.

Deferred Revenues


Revenue

In some instances, the Company receives payments in advance of rendering services, whereupon such revenues are deferred until the related services are rendered. Deferred revenue was $87,574$2,829 and $148,916$2,310 at September 30, 20102013 and 2009,2012, respectively.


35

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:  

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which includes allowances for customer refunds, dilution and fees from LEC billing aggregators and other uncollectible accounts. The Company has increased its allowances for doubtful accounts to 63.5%82.8% of gross accounts receivable at September 30, 20102013 as compared to 52.8%65.7% of gross accounts receivable at September 30, 2009.  This increase2012. The determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts is attributable todependent on many factors, including regulatory activity, which has increased the amount of refunds, increasing fees fromchanges in fee schedules by LEC service providers and recent historical trends.

As of September 30, 2013, approximately 57% of the Company’s changeallowance for doubtful accounts is an allowance against an outstanding receivable balance that is in business strategy,dispute. After excluding these reserves from the related accounts receivable balances the allowance for doubtful accounts as ongoing revenue submissions and settlements with respecta percentage of gross accounts receivable increases to 68%. As of September 30, 2012, approximately 93% of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is an allowance against accounts receivable balances and reserves held by a LEC customers have ceasedthat is in bankruptcy and bad debts, allowances and feesan allowance against an outstanding receivable balance that is in dispute.

Legal Costs

The Company expenses legal costs associated with loss contingencies as they are deducted from existing holdback amounts.


incurred.

Income Taxes:

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance would be provided for those deferred tax assets for which if it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized. The Company classifies tax-related penalties and interest as a component of income tax expense for financial statement presentation.


Stock-Based Compensation

The Company from time to time grants restricted stock awards and options to employees and executives. Such awards are valued based on the grant date fair-value of the instruments, net of estimated forfeitures. The value of each award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Net Income (Loss)Loss Per Share:

Net income (loss)loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Under ASC 260 basic net income (loss)loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period except that it does not include unvested restricted stock subject to cancellation. Diluted net income (loss)loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, restricted shares and convertible preferred stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding restricted shares and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Convertible preferred stock is reflected on an if-converted basis.


Foreign Currency Translation:  The Company has determined that the United States Dollar is the functional currency for its foreign operations.  Accordingly, gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency amounts to functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur.  In fiscal 2009, the Company ceased activities with respect to its foreign operations which has eliminated any significant foreign currency exposure.

Financial Instruments: Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advances to affiliates and obligations under accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable.  The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

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

Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimate of dilution and fees associated with LEC billings, the estimated reserve for doubtful accounts receivable, estimated customer retention period used for the amortization of customer acquisition costs, estimated forfeiture rates for stock-based compensation, fair values in connection with the analysis of goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment, valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and estimated useful lives for intangible assets and property and equipment.  Due to the effects of the Company’s change in business strategy, it made significant changes in estimates as it pertains to allowances for accounts receivable, valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets, intangible assets and goodwill as described elsewhere in these notes.

Stock-Based Compensation:  The Company from time to time grants restricted stock awards and options to employees and executives.  Such awards are valued based on the grant date fair-value of the instruments, net of estimated forfeitures. The value of each award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and FASB ASC 505, “Equity”, and accordingly, stock awards to non-employees are accounted for at fair value at their respective measurement date.

Internally Developed Software and Website Development Costs:  

The Company incurs internal and external costs to develop software and websites to support its core business functions. The Company capitalizes internally generated software and website development costs in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”.


36

Impairment of Long-lived Assets:

The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. A long-lived asset (asset group)(or group of assets) shall be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the asset and its estimated fair value. For purposes of these tests, long-lived assets must be grouped with other assets and liabilities for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

42

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the FASB determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be impaired duringeffective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 has not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements, (“ASU 2012-04”).” This update includes source literature amendments, guidance clarification, reference corrections and relocated guidance affecting a variety of topics in the Codification. The update also includes conforming amendments to the Codification to reflect ASC 820’s fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update that will not have transition guidance are effective upon issuance. The amendments in this update that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Our adoption of ASU 2011-11 on January 1, 2013, did not have a material impact our financial statement.

Note 3:Going Concern

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company had a net loss of $5,747,014 for the year ended September 30, 2009 (See Note 4).


Goodwill:  2013 and had an accumulated deficit of $27,333,647 as of September 30, 2013

Because of the infancy of the Company’s new lines of business, the Company has yet to generate significant revenue from its online presence marketing or promotional marketing lines of business. Given that the Company has not been accepting new customers for its legacy product offerings since July 2011 and that it did not launch its new product offerings until August 2012, the Company’s revenues declined for fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 as the Company continued to build a foundation for its new products and services and position the Company for future growth through its LiveDeal.com and Velocity Local offerings.

The Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairmentwill require additional capital to finance its planned business operations as it continues to build and market its LiveDeal.com and Velocity Localofferings and develop other new products. In addition, the Company may require additional capital to finance acquisitions or other strategic investments in its business. Other sources of financing may include stock issuances (for example, pursuant to our Engagement Agreement with Chardan Capital Markets LLC, under which we may issue and sell up to a maximum aggregate amount of 660,000 shares of our common stock from time to time through Chardan as our sales agent, using our shelf registration statement on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred in accordanceForm S-3 (File No. 333-187397) previously filed with the provisionsSEC); additional loans (for example, through our sale and issuance of FASB ASC 350 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” which requiresconvertible notes pursuant to the $5 million line of credit that goodwill be tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first stepwe entered into in January 2014); or other forms of financing. Any financing obtained may further dilute or otherwise impair the ownership interest of the goodwill impairment test, usedCompany’s existing stockholders. If the Company is unable to identify potential impairment, comparesgenerate positive cash flows or raise additional capital in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, the estimated fair valueCompany may (i) not be able to make acquisitions or other strategic investments in its business, (ii) modify, delay or abandon some or all of its business plans, and/or (iii) be forced to cease operations.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4:Discontinued Operations

As part of the reporting unit containingCompany’s strategy to evaluate each of its business segments as separate entities, management noted that the goodwillDirect Sales business segment had incurred operating losses and declining revenues and did not fit with the related carrying amount. IfCompany’s change in strategic direction. Accordingly, in March 2011, the estimated fair value ofCompany made the reporting unit exceedsstrategic decision to discontinue its carrying amount,Direct Sales business and product offerings. Prior year financial statements have been restated to present the reporting unit’s goodwill is not considered to be impairedDirect Sales business segment as a discontinued operation.

As a result of this analysis, first describedDirect Sales business segment in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q forMay 2011. In conjunction with the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009 and described elsewherediscontinued operations, the Company recorded the following charges in this Form 10-K, it was determined that the entire goodwill balance attributable to the acquisitions of OnCall Subscriber Management and LiveDeal, Inc. was impaired. There was a goodwill write off during the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  There was no goodwill written off during the year ended September 30, 2010.


Legal Costs:2011:

·Non cash impairment charges of $367,588 consisting of the write-off of net intangible assets.

The direct sales business segment accounted for $0 net revenues for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Net revenues from this business segment are now included as part of income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Net income for the year ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 consisted of a recovery on a bad debt from a previous period.

Note 5:Business Combination

On August 16, 2012 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of LiveOpenly, Inc., a California corporation (“LiveOpenly”), which sourced, published and sold discounted offers for goods and services through local retail merchants.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2007, the FASB amended ASC 805, Business Combinations and FASB ASC 810 “Consolidations”. FASB ASC 805 and FASB ASC 810 are products of a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board.  The revised standards continue the movement toward the greater use of fair values in financial reporting. FASB ASC 805 will significantly change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. These changes include the expensing of acquisition related costs and restructuring costs when incurred, the recognition of all assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests at fair value during a step-acquisition, and the recognition of contingent consideration asterms of the acquisition, date if it is more likely than notthe Company acquired LiveOpenly’s sourcing contracts, software, customer lists, trademarks, domain names, and related assets in exchange for the issuance of 75,000 shares of our common stock. The purchase price for the assets of LiveOpenly was determined by using the value of the stock on the Acquisition Date, which was $420,000. The purchase price was allocated to be incurred.  FASB ASC 810 will change the accountinga customer list and reporting for minority interests, whichmarketing related intangibles of $252,000 and $168,000, respectively. The intangibles will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity.  The changes to FASB ASC 805 and 810 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009 for companies with calendar year-ends). FASB ASC 805 will be applied prospectively. FASB ASC 810 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of FASB ASC 810 shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is prohibited for both these amendments.  The adoption of this amendment did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB amended ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.  FASB ASC 815 modifies existing requirements to include qualitative disclosures regarding the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The pronouncement also requires the cross-referencing of derivative disclosures within the financial statements and notes thereto. The requirements of FASB ASC 815 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and was effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2009-13”), which provides guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. ASU 2009-13 requires an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price. ASU 2009-13 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted provided that the revised guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. ASU 2009-13 is effective for the Company on October 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will have on our financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.

Note 7:Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of licenses for the use of Internet domain names, Universal Resource Locators, or URLs, capitalized website development costs, other information technology licenses and marketing and technology related intangibles acquired through the acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc. All such assets are capitalized at their original cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to 20 years.

In January 2009,

Based in connection with the strategic changes described in Note 1, the Company’s management, at the directionpart on a third party appraisal of the Company’s Audit Committee, commenced an interim reporting period review of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets for impairment.  As described in Note 2, the Company evaluates goodwill and other long-lived assets, for impairment on an annual basis or whenever facts and circumstances indicate that impairment may exist.  Current economic and regulatory forces, both general and specific to the Company’s industry, caused management to consider the Company’s existing business model and strategy.  In light of the changes in the Company’s business strategy, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurredno impairment of its long-lived intangible assets existed at September 30, 2013 and initiated an impairment analysis.

2012.

39

In conducting this analysis, the Company used a discounted cash flow approach in estimating fair value as market values could not be readily determined given the unique nature of the respective assets.  For the assets identified as being impaired, the cash flows associated with the underlying assets did not support a value greater than zero given the shutdown of the classifieds business and the Philippines call-center operation, the impacts of the sale of a portion of the Company’s customer list and www.yp.com domain name, and other operational changes as a result of the Company’s change in business strategy.
Based upon the analysis, management determined that the following items were impaired:
45
 1.The goodwill acquired by the Company in its acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc., the business focus of which was online classified advertising which was originally intended to be merged with the Company’s existing directory services business;
2.The goodwill acquired by the Company in its acquisition of a Philippines call-center, OnCall Subscriber Management, the business focus of which was providing telemarketing services to acquire customers for its directory services business;
3.Assets related to the Company’s call-center operations and non-compete agreements that were effectively made obsolete due to the sale of a portion of the Company’s customer list associated with its directory services business, as described in Note 14; and
4.Intangible assets related to the Company’s directory services business, including URLs, internally developed software, and other miscellaneous intangible assets.
The following is a summary of these impaired assets and their net book values, which were fully written off in the second quarter of fiscal 2009:

5.Note 8:DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSLong-Term Debt

As part

Everest Group Loan

On May 13, 2011, the Company, certain of the Company’s strategywholly owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), and Everest Group LLC (“Lender”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to evaluatewhich the Lender agreed to loan the Borrowers an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000 (the “Loan”). The Loan was funded to the Borrowers on May 16, 2011. The Borrowers used the proceeds of the Loan for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Loan Agreement provided for a one-year term, unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms or extended upon the mutual agreement of all parties. The Borrowers paid an annual interest rate equal to 18% on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan. Interest will be payable monthly in arrears commencing on June 1, 2011. Commencing on November 1, 2011, and on the first day of each subsequent calendar month, the Borrowers were required to make $50,000 monthly installment payments of its business segments as separate entities, management notedprincipal on the Loan, with the unpaid principal balance was due and payable on the termination date of the Loan. The Loan was paid off in May 2012.

ICG Convertible Note Transaction

On April 3, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “ICG Purchase Agreement”) with Isaac Capital Group, LLC (“ICG”), which is a related party, pursuant to which ICG agreed to purchase for cash up to $2,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s unsecured Subordinated Convertible Notes (“Notes”). ICG is owned by Jon Isaac, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a director on the Company’s Board. Prior to this transaction, Mr. Isaac owned 403,225 shares, or 16.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Purchase Agreement and the Notes, which are unsecured, provide that all amounts payable by the Company to ICG under the Notes will be due and payable on April 3, 2013 (“Maturity Date”), provided that the classifieds businessCompany has incurred significant operating lossesthe option in its discretion to extend the Maturity Date by up to one (1) year if no Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has occurred and determined that it did not fitis continuing, and the Company is in material compliance with its agreements and covenants under the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, as of the Maturity Date.

On January 14, 2013, the Company and ICG amended the Purchase Agreement to clarify ambiguities and correct inadvertent mistakes related to the warrant issuance timing and the conversion price of a Note, and to amend various anti-dilution features. These changes were consistent with the intent of the parties at the time they entered into the Purchase Agreement and are consistent with the Company’s past practices related to the Notes and warrants. In particular, the amendment clarifies that the warrants will be issued upon conversion (rather than upon issuance) of the Notes and provides that the conversion price of a Note shall be based upon a floor price of $1.00 per share, regardless if the Company’s stock is trading below that amount at the time ICG elects to convert a Note.

The Purchase Agreement and the Notes, as amended, provide that:

·The Notes will accrue interest at an annual interest rate equal to 8%. All interest will be payable on the Maturity Date or upon the conversion of the applicable Note.

·The Company has the option to prepay each Note, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty.

·If ICG elects to convert all or any portion of any Note, the Company must issue to ICG on the date of the conversion a warrant (“Contingent Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion. This number of shares is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, certain pro rata distributions, and certain fundamental transactions. Each Contingent Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years following the date of its issuance at an exercise price equal to 120% of the conversion price of the applicable Note (with the exercise price being subject to adjustment under the same conditions as the number of shares for which the warrant is exercisable.) The Contingent Warrants provide that they may be exercised in whole or in part and include a cashless exercise feature.

46

·The Notes provide that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts payable to ICG will become immediately due and payable without any demand or notice.

·The Company may issue additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,750,000 to ICG from time to time upon notice to ICG prior to April 3, 2013, provided that each Note must be in a principal amount of at least $100,000.

·The Company (i) is required to provide certain financial and other information to ICG from time to time, (ii) must maintain its corporate existence, business, assets, properties, insurance and records in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, (iii) with certain exceptions, must not incur or suffer to exist any liens or other encumbrances with respect to the Company’s property or assets, (iv) must not make certain loans or investments except in compliance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and (v) must not enter into certain types of transactions, including dispositions of its assets or business.

The events of default (“Events of Default”) which trigger the acceleration of the Notes include (among other things): (i) the Company’s failure to make any payment required under the Notes when due (subject to a three-day cure period), (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with its covenants and agreements under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and any other transaction documents, and (iii) the occurrence of a change of control with respect to the Company.

The Company issued an initial Note in strategic direction.  Accordingly,the principal amount of $250,000 to ICG on the Closing Date. Because the conversion price of $2.53 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature valued at $166,667. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital. The discount to the Note is being amortized to interest expense until maturity or its earlier repayment or conversion.

On September 10, 2012, ICG elected to convert a Note with a conversion price of $2.38 per share, resulting in the issuance of 109,139 shares. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, warrants to acquire 109,139 shares were issued upon conversion with an exercise price of ($2.38 x 120%) $2.85 per share. Upon conversion of the convertible debt instrument, the remaining debt discount of $97,222 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debt conversion was $322,927 and around February 2009,was immediately recognized as interest expense.

On December 11, 2012, the Company madeissued a second Note to ICG in the strategic decision to discontinue its classifieds business and product offerings. The Company initiated shutdown activities in March 2009 and concluded such activities in June 2009, including the shutdownprincipal amount of the website previously used for classified activities.  Accordingly, the Company does not expect any future revenues from this business segment.

The Company determined that the classified business met the definition of a component as it has separately identifiable operations and cash flows through at least revenues and cost of sales. Costs and expenses related to general and administrative expenses have not been allocated since these expenses cannot be separated due$250,000, pursuant to the prior effortsPurchase Agreement. On December 17, 2012, ICG elected to integrate this businessconvert that Note with the other business linesa conversion price of the Company.  Accordingly, the results of the classifieds business are reflected as discontinued operations$2.02 per share, resulting in the accompanying statementsissuance of operations to the extent that these operations are separately identifiable.

In conjunction with the discontinued operations, the Company recorded charges of $27,328 during the year ended September, 30, 2009 for certain exit costs relating to the shutdown of these operations which is reflected as part of income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2009.

The classifieds business accounted for $227,575 of net revenues for year ended September 30, 2009, which are now included as part of loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

A net profit of $12,525 from discontinued operations was recognized for the year ended September 30, 2010, reflecting the adjustment of certain accruals associated with the wind-down123,829 shares of the Company’s classifieds operations.
common stock and a warrant to acquire 123,829 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.43 per share. Upon conversion of the convertible debt instrument, the remaining debt discount was immediately recognized as interest expense so that the original amount related to the beneficial conversion feature of 200,738 was fully expensed.

On March 22, 2013 and March 25, 2013, the Company issued a third and fourth Note to ICG in the principal amount of $500,000 and $250,000 respectively, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Because the conversion price of $1.38 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to beneficial conversion features valued at $401,386. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital on March 25, 2013. On March 27, 2013, ICG elected to convert these Notes, resulting in the issuance of 543,962 shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to acquire 543,962 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.66 per share. Upon conversion of such Notes, the remaining debt discount of $396,977 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the conversion of these Notes was $1,299,884 and was immediately recognized as interest expense.

On March 28, 2013, the Company issued a fifth Note to ICG in the principal amount of $250,000 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Because the conversion price of $1.40 was less than the stock price, this gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature valued at $250,000. The Company recognized this beneficial conversion feature as a debt discount and additional paid in capital on March 28, 2013. On March 28, 2013, ICG elected to convert the Note, resulting in the issuance of 178,572 additional shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to acquire 178,572 shares at an exercise price of $1.68 per share. Upon conversion of such Note, the debt discount of $250,000 was immediately recognized as interest expense. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the conversion of the Note was $589,442 and was immediately recognized as interest expense.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of all Notes issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

At the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved a proposal to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Plan from 140,000 to 340,000 shares.

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock


During the year ended September 30, 2002, pursuant to an existing tender offer, holders of 13,184 shares of the Company’s common stock exchanged said shares for 131,840 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, at the then $0.85 market value of the common stock. The shares carry a $0.30 per share liquidation preference and accrue dividends at the rate of 5% per annum on the liquidation preference per share, payable quarterly from legally available funds. If such funds are not available, dividends shall continue to accumulate until they can be paid from legally available funds. Holders of the preferred shares are entitled, after two years from issuance, to convert them into common shares on a hundred-to-one basis together with payment of $0.45 per converted share.


Treasury Stock

The Company’s treasury stock consists of shares repurchased on the open market or shares received through various agreements with third parties.  The value of such shares is determined based on cash paid or quoted market prices.

On May 25, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated its pre-existing stock repurchase plan and replaced it with a new plan authorizing repurchases of up to $1,000,000 of common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  The repurchase plan was increased by another $500,000 on October 23, 2008.  During the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company acquired an aggregate of 1,341 and 34,611 shares of common stock for an aggregate repurchase price of $25,882 and $532,521, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company previously maintained the 2003 Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Plan (“2003 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders, for the issuance of stock-based compensation awards. As amended, the Company was permitted to issue an aggregate of 340,000 shares of common stock under the 2003 Plan. All Company personnel and contractors are eligible to participate in the 2003 Plan. By its terms, the 2003 Plan expired on July 21, 2013 (which was the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the 2003 Plan), and no new awards were made thereafter. The Company anticipates implementing a new equity incentive plan to replace the 2003 Plan.

In September 2011, in an effort to preserve cash, the Board, after consultation with the Compensation Committee, entered into an agreement to compensate the members of the Board for their monthly retainer and other services as directors and/or members of the Board’s various standing committees through the award of shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2003 Plan. Since inception an aggregate of 83,495 shares were issued to members of the Board of Directors. During the year ended September 30, 2013, 26,484 shares were issued to the Board of Directors.

As of September 30, 2013, there were 134,816 shares authorized under the 2003 Plan that were granted and remain outstanding and fully vested.

The following table sets forth the activity with respect to unvested restricted stock grants (results reported in post-split amounts):

Stock Option Awards

From time to time, the Company grants stock option awards to officers and employees. Such awards are valued based on the grant date fair value of the instruments, net of estimated forfeitures, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

  Year Ended  Year Ended 
  September 30, 2013  September 30, 2012 
       
Volatility  124%-127%    
Risk-free interest rate  .08%-.66%    
Expected term  1-3.77 years    
Forfeiture rate  10%    
Dividend yield rate  0%    

The volatility used was based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, which management considers to be the best indicator of expected future volatility. The risk free interest rate was determined based on treasury securities with maturities equal to the expected term of the underlying award. The expected term was determined based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.

Stock option awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. During the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized expense of $173,073 and $16,942, respectively, associated with stock option awards. At September 30, 2013, all stock compensation expense associated with issued awards has been recognized.

Note 12:Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Basic weighted average common shares outstanding do not include shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested, although such shares are included as outstanding shares in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable from restricted shares, stock options, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. Preferred stock dividends are subtracted from net loss to determine the amount available to common stockholders.


The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:

Note 13:Restructuring Activities

In May 2011 the Company ceased the Direct Sales business and migrated the remaining customers to Reach Local in exchange for 10% and 5% of gross revenues derived from such customers during the first and second year, respectively. The Company recorded $816 and $6,053 in revenues for this agreement during the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In connection with the discontinued Direct Sales business, seven employees were terminated. See Note 4.

Note 14:Related Party Transactions

Convertible Notes with ICG

As described in Note 8, during 2012 and 2013 the Company entered into a series of convertible note purchase agreements with ICG, an entity owned by Jon Isaac, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a director on the Company’s Board group. Under these agreements, the Company received gross proceeds of $1,250,000 and $250,000 during the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Under the terms of these agreements, ICG executed its conversion option on all then-outstanding notes during the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. In exchange for the conversion of $1,250,000 of convertible notes during the year ended September 30, 2013, ICG received an aggregate of 846,363 of shares of common stock and, upon conversion, ICG also received warrants to acquire an additional 846,363 shares of common stock. In exchange for the conversion of $250,000 of convertible notes during the year ended September 30, 2012, ICG received an aggregate of 109,139 of shares of common stock and, upon conversion, ICG also received warrants to acquire an additional 109,139 shares of common stock.

Because the conversion price under ICG’s notes was less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of issuance, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature which was treated as a debt discount and amortized on a straight line basis as interest expense until the date of conversion, at which time all remaining debt discount was recognized as interest expense. Additionally, the fair value of the warrants that were contingently issuable to ICG upon conversion were recognized as additional interest expense.

During the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized total interest expense of $3,291,466 and $489,594 associated with the ICG notes.

Issuance of Common Stock with ICG

As described in Note 9, during the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued 403,225 shares of common stock to ICG in exchange for gross proceeds of $500,000.

In exchange for the payments described above, Mr. Seshadri provided a full release of claims arising out of, or relating to, his employment with the Company, his termination from the position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and/or his resignation.  The Separation Agreement also contained customary provisions with respect to confidentiality and non-solicitation, as well as mutual covenants on the part of Mr. Seshadri and the Company regarding public statements and non-disparagement.  As of September 30, 2010, all amounts pertaining to this separation have been paid.

Also on November 19, 2009, the Company appointed Lawrence W.

Hall was appointed as our interim Chief Operating Officer (COO).

On May 20, 2010, the Board of Directors of LiveDeal appointed Kevin A. Hall as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.  Mr. Hall’s compensation and benefits were not affected by his appointment as President of the Company.

Litigation


The Company is party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. Management believes that the outcome of pending legal proceedings will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, and results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.


Except as described below, as of September 30, 2010,2013, the Company was not a party to any pending material legal proceedings other than claims that arise in the normal conduct of its business. While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome of these routine proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s net income in the period in which a ruling occurs. The Company’s estimate of the potential impact of the following legal proceedings on its financial position and its results of operation could change in the future.

Joe Cunningham v. LiveDeal, Inc. et al.

On July 16, 2008, Joseph Cunningham, who was at the time a member of LiveDeal’s Board of Directors, filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) alleging that the Company and certain members of its Board of Directors had engaged in discriminatory employment practices in violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002’s statutory protections for corporate whistleblowers when the Board of Directors removed him as Chairman on May 22, 2008.  In his complaint, Mr. Cunningham asked OSHA to order his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company or, in the alternative, to order his reinstatement as Chairman of the Board.  Mr. Cunningham also sought back pay, special damages and litigation costs.
On July 16, 2010, Mr. Cunningham attempted to amend his OSHA complaint to include an additional adverse action allegation.  On September 20, 2010, OSHA issued a letter informing Mr. Cunningham that as a former board member and alleged prospective interim CEO, he is not considered an “employee” under the relevant statute, which is a required element for his claims.  Accordingly, OSHA dismissed Mr. Cunningham’s complaint.
On October 20, 2010, Mr. Cunningham filed objections to OSHA’s findings.  Mr. Cunningham's appeal of OSHA’s ruling is currently pending.
State of Washington v. LiveDeal, Inc. et al.

On December 16, 2006, the State of Washington Attorney General’s office entered into a Consent Decree with LiveDeal, Inc. (known at the time as YP Corp.) and its subsidiary, Telco Billing, Inc.  Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the Company agreed to provide certain confidential, trade secret information to the Attorney General’s office as part of the settlement of a regulatory dispute between the State of Washington and the Company.

On July 14, 2009, the Attorney General’s office contacted the Company to request certain confidential, trade secret information to which it was entitled under the Consent Decree.  The Company acknowledged its obligation to provide the requested information but asked the Attorney General’s office to verify that it would not provide such information to third parties.  When the Company was informed by opposing legal counsel in a private litigation matter that the Attorney General’s office intended to provide its confidential, trade secret information to such counsel’s client and other third parties immediately upon receipt, the Company began taking certain steps to protect the sensitive information while complying with its obligations under the Consent Decree.

Following unsuccessful settlement discussions in which the Attorney General’s office refused to enter into any agreement not to share the confidential information with third parties (including the Company’s opponents in pending private litigation), the Company sought a protective order in the State of Washington’s King County Superior Court (Case No. 06-2-39213-2 SEA) on September 8, 2009, which was denied on November 16, 2009.  The Company appealed in State of Washington’s Court of Appeals (Division I, Case No. 64539-1) and moved to stay the effect of the November 16, 2009 ruling.  The appeal was denied.  After denial of the appeal, the Company and the Attorney General's office cooperatively resolved their dispute.  The matter is considered closed.

LEC Billings

The Company has historically billed a Final Judgmentsignificant amount of our legacy business revenues through LEC billing channels. The largest LEC billing companies ceased billing for third parties in 2012. .If we are not able to obtain alternative billing methods for these customers, the number of legacy subscribers and Consent Decree (the “Consent Decree”) providingour revenues will decline, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. The Company had approximately $73,000 of revenues billed through LEC billing channels for the settlement ofyear ended September 30, 2013. LEC billing channel costs related to those revenues equaled approximately $171,000 for the Company’s ongoing litigation withyear ended September 30, 2013.

Except as referenced above, the Illinois Attorney General was filed by the Circuit Court of the Seventh Judicial Circuit of the State of Illinois (Sangamon County).  The Consent Decree was previously executed by the Company and the Illinois Attorney General.


As set forth in the Consent Decree, the terms of the settlement require the Company to make a $10,000 contribution to the Illinois Attorney General Court Ordered and Voluntary Compliance Payment Projects Fund for Consumer Enforcement and Education.  Illinois consumers who entered into an Internet yellow pages contract on or after January 1, 2007, and who have not already cancelled such listing and received a full refund, are also entitled to a full refund from the Company (provided that they did not actually and knowingly agree to purchase the Company’s Internet yellow page listings).  Consumers must provide written notice of their demand for a refund within 60 days after the entry of the Consent Decree, and the Company has up to 120 days after the date of the Consent Decree to challenge any consumer’s right to a refund.  There were no claims made during the claim period.

Among other things, the Consent Decree restricts the Company from soliciting, billing, or knowingly causing Illinois consumers to be billed for Internet yellow page listings for a period of five years.

The Company has not recorded any accruals pertaining to its legal proceedings except as referenced above, as they do not meet the criteria for accrual under FASB ASC 450.

Restructuring Activities
On January 4, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a reduction in force that resulted in the termination of approximately 33% of the Company's workforce, effective January 7, 2010.  On February 23, 2010, our Board of Directors approved an additional reduction in force that resulted in the termination of approximately 20% of our workforce, effective March 4, 2010.  These reductions in force were related to our ongoing restructuring and cost reduction efforts as the Board of Directors explores a variety of strategic alternatives, including the potential sale of the Company or certain of its assets and/or the acquisition of other entities or businesses.
The Company incurred charges of $143,000 in connection with the reductions in force, consisting of one-time employee termination benefits.  All amounts were paid as of September 30, 2010.

On November 30, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a reduction in force that resulted in the termination of 36 employees of the Company, or approximately 60% of the Company’s workforce, effective December 1, 2010.   The reduction in force was related to the Company’s ongoing restructuring and cost reduction efforts and strategy of focusing its resources on the development and expansion of its core InstantProfile product, the successor to the Company’s LEC-billed directory product.  All terminated employees were involved in the marketing and sale of the Company’s InstantPromote product by its subsidiary, Local Marketing Experts, Inc.

The Company incurred expenses of $99,319 in connection with the reduction in force, of which $37,500 was incurred for one-time employee termination benefits payable in cash.  The remaining expenses relate to salaries and wages payable in cash to the affected employees.  Substantially all of these charges will be expensed in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Other Contractual Agreements

On November 30, 2008, each of the following agreements was terminated pursuant to notices of termination delivered to the Company by its respective counterparties:

In exchange for such services, the Wholesalers remitted all related fees collected (less their 10% commission) to the Company. Such fees accounted for approximately $5.3 million, or 18%, of the Company’s net revenues in fiscal 2008.  The agreements accounted for about 12,000 of the Company’s approximately 65,000 customers as of that date.

A full valuation allowance is established against all net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 20102013 and 20092012 based on estimates of recoverability. While the Company has optimistic plans for its new business strategy, it determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to its ability to generate sufficient profits from its new business model.

Because of the impacts of the valuation allowance, there was no income tax expense or benefit for the year ended September 30, 2013.

The Company has recorded as of September 30, 2013 a valuation allowance of $17,224,140, as it believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realize in future years. Management has based its assessment on available historical and projected operating results.

The Company annually conducts an analysis of its tax positions and has concluded that it has no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2010.


2013.

As part of its deferred tax assets, the Company has net operating loss carryforwardscarry-forwards resulting from its acquisition of LiveDeal, IncInc. in fiscal 2007. Such amounts are subject to IRS code section 382 limitations and expire in 2027.

11.Note 17:CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKConcentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances at banks in California Arizona and Nevada. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per institution as of September 30, 2010.


47


2013. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily trade accounts receivable. The trade accounts receivable are due primarily from business customers over widespread geographical locations within the LEC billing areas across the United States. The Company historically has experienced significant dilution and customer credits due to billing difficulties and uncollectible trade accounts receivable. The Company estimates and provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. The handling and processing of cash receipts pertaining to trade accounts receivable is maintained primarily by three third-party billing companies. The Company is dependent upon these billing companies for collection of its accounts receivable. The billing companies and LECs charge fees for their services, which are netted against the gross accounts receivable balance. The billing companies also apply holdbacks to the remittances for potentially uncollectible accounts. These amounts will vary due to numerous factors and the Company may not be certain as to the actual amounts on any specific billing submittal until several months after that submittal. The Company estimates the amount of these charges and holdbacks based on historical experience and subsequent information received from the billing companies. The Company also estimates uncollectible account balances and provides an allowance for such estimates. The billing companies retain certain holdbacks that may not be collected by the Company for a period extending beyond one year. Additionally, certain other billings’ channels consisting of billings submitted to LEC Processors through third parties were discontinued. As such, a significant portion of the receivables at September 30, 20102013 and 20092012 pertaining to LEC service providers represent the holdbacks described above.


The Company has concentrations of receivables with respect to certain wholesale accounts and remaining holdbacks with LEC service providers. Three such entities accounted for 27%44%, 27%25% and 16%18% of gross receivables at September 30, 2010.

12.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Restricted Stock Awards

During the year ended2013 as compared to 35%, 27% and 15% of gross receivables at September 30, 2003,2012.

Note 18:Segment Reporting

After discontinuing the Company’s board of directors and a majority of it stockholders voted to terminate the Company’s 2002 Employees, Officers & Directors Stock Option Plan and approved the Company’s 2003 Stock Plan.  The 30,000 shares of Company common stock previously allocated to the 2002 Plan were re-allocated to the 2003 Plan.  During the year ended September 30, 2004, an additional 20,000 shares were authorized by the board of directors and approved by the Company’s stockholders to be issued under the 2003 Plan.  All Company personnel and contractors are eligible to participateDirect Sales business as described in the plan.


AsNote 4, as of September 30, 2010, there were 52,294 shares authorized under the 2003 Plan that were granted and remain outstanding, of which 47,836 have vested and 4,658 are in the form of restricted stock.  These shares of restricted stock were granted to the Company’s service providers, officers and directors.  Of the 4,658 restricted shares, 3,000 shares vest on a cliff basis three years from the date of grant and 1,658 shares vest on a cliff basis 10 years from the date of grant.  Certain market performance criteria may accelerate the vesting of a portion of these awards if the stock price exceeds $50 per share.  As of September 30, 2010, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards was $160,590.  The weighted average period over which such compensation cost is to be recognized is 0.80 years.  Additionally,2013, the Company has 200 shares of unvested restricted stock awards related to the LiveDeal acquisition that were issued outside of the 2003 Plan which vested in June 2010.

The following table sets forth the activity with respect to compensation-related restricted stock grants:

Outstanding (unvested) at September 30, 200822,743
Granted2,000
Forfeited(8,325)
Vested(5,775)
Outstanding (unvested) at September 30, 200910,643
Granted-
Forfeited(3,700)
Vested(2,285)
Outstanding (unvested) at September 30, 20104,658

The vesting of substantially all shares of restricted stock accelerates upon a change of control, as defined in the 2003 Plan.  Compensation expense is determined at the date of grant, is equal to the stock price at the date of grant, and is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of awards issued during the year ended September 30, 2009 was $15.6 per share.  The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the shares outstanding is $97.1 per share.

During the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 the Company recognized compensation expense of $100,980 and $(198,672), respectively, under the 2003 Plan and other restricted stock issuances.  The net compensation expense reversal in the year ended September 30, 2009 is attributable to a change in estimated forfeiture rate of awards granted to officers, directors and key personnel from 40% to 70% and true-ups to reflect actual forfeiture rates of awards whose vesting period had passed.

48


Stock Option Awards:

From time to time, the Company grants stock option awards to officers and employees.  Such awards are valued based on the grant date fair value of the instruments, net of estimated forfeitures, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

  Year Ended  Year Ended 
  
September 30, 2010
  
September 30, 2009
 
Volatility  97%  97%
Risk-free interest rate  2.2%  1.7%-2.8%
Expected term 6.0 years  6.0 years 
Forfeiture rate  40%  40%
Dividend yield rate  0%  0%

The volatility used was based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, which management considers to be the best indicator of expected future volatility.  The risk free interest rate was determined based on treasury securities with maturities equal to the expected term of the underlying award.  The expected term was determined based on the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.

On November 23, 2009, the Company granted an aggregate of 25,000 options to Richard Sommer, the Company’s then-current Chief Executive Officer. In connection with Mr. Sommer’s resignation on January 4, 2010, all such options were forfeited.  Given this forfeiture, the Company elected not to expense such options because the effects on the financial statements would not have been material.  No other options were granted during the year ended September 30, 2010.

Stock option awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.  During the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized expense of $38,448 and $82,036, respectively. At September 30, 2010, future stock compensation expense (net of estimated forfeitures) not yet recognized was $128,774 and will be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.1 years.  This future expense does not include the options forfeited by Mr. Sommer in January 2010.  The following summarizes stock option activity for the year ended September 30, 2010:

     Weighted  Weighted  Weighted    
     Average  Average  Average  Aggregate 
  Number of  Exercise  Fair  Remaining  Intrinsic 
  Shares  Price  Value  Contractual Life  Value

Outstanding at September 30, 2010  5,000  $14.50       8.1  $- 
Exercisable  2,292  $14.50       8.1  $- 

As noted above, Mr. Sommer’s 25,000 options were forfeited in connection with his resignation on January 4, 2010.  Upon the exercise of stock options, the Company may issue new shares or, if circumstances permit, issue shares held as treasury stock.

13.EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for its employees who are eligible to participate in the plan.  The Company made contributions of $34,336 and $112,040 to the plan for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

14.OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

On November 5, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Internet domain name “www.yp.com” to YellowPages.com for a cash payment of $3,850,000.  Although the Company’s future focus is on the sale of customer acquisition services for small businesses, the Company continues to receive revenues from the sale of Internet Advertising Packages, which targeted users of its www.yp.com property.  The Company has transitioned these customers to advertising on www.yellowpages.livedeal.com

On March 9, 2009, in connection with the Company’s shift in strategic focus away from its classified and directory servicesonly operated one business the Company entered into an agreement to sell a portion of its customer list associated with its directory services business.  This customer list was sold for $3,093,202 of which $2,783,097 was paid by the buyer and received during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, with the remaining amount held back in escrow until December 2009 pending the resolution of potential claims, if any.  Such claims are contractually limited to the amount held in escrow.  Approximately 50% of the escrow amount was received during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 with no deductions for offsetting claims. In December, 2009, the Company received the remainder of the escrow amount with no deduction. Net of certain accruals for transaction costs and transaction-related contingencies, the Company recorded a gain of $3,040,952, which is reflected in other income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

49


The Company analyzed this transaction and determined that it did not meet the definition of a discontinued operation under FASB ASC 360 as the customer list that was sold did not meet the definition of a component of an entity and as the Company expects to have continuing involvement and operations in directory services for the near future.

The Company also amended another directory services contract in consideration of accelerated payments on its outstanding accounts receivables and some anticipated future billings, which resulted in an increase in other income of $642,268 for the year ended September 30, 2009.  Together with the partial customer list sale described above, these customers and contracts accounted for $5,146,073 of revenue in the fiscal 2009.  As a result of these transactions, the Company has no future service obligations to these customers and no longer expects to generate future revenues from these sources.
15.SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable operating segments (excluding the discontinued classifieds business):  Directory Services and Direct Sales - Customer Acquisition Services.  While the product offerings have been changing, the reportable segments have not changed, and management continues to evaluate operating performance of these operating segments.  The Company does not identify and allocate operating costs or impairment charges to its reportable segments below the gross profit level.  Additionally, the reportable segments share many common costs, including, but not limited to, IT support, office and administrative expenses.  Therefore, the following table of operating results does not allocate costs to its reportable segments below the gross profit level:

The Company has yet to allocate its assets to each respective segment.  While some software costs are specific to each business, most of the Company’s fixed assets and software architecture are shared among its segments.  Therefore, the Company is currently unable to provide asset information with respect to each of its reportable segments, except as it pertains to accounts receivable as set forth below:

We have also provided Chardan with customary indemnification rights.

Convertible Note Transaction ($5 Million Line of Credit)

On January 7, 2014, the Company entered into a StockNote Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Kingston Diversified Holdings LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to purchase for the purchase of $200,000 worthcash up to $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes (“Notes”). The Purchase Agreement and the Notes, which are unsecured, provide that all amounts payable by the Company to the Investor under the Notes will be due and payable on the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Maturity Date”).

The Purchase Agreement and the Notes provide that:

Either the Company or the Investor will have the right to cause the sale and issuance of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided that NASDAQ’s approval of the Purchase Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby is a condition precedent to each party’s right to cause any borrowings to occur under the Purchase Agreement.
Each Note must be in a principal amount of at least $100,000.
The Notes are issuable at a 5% discount and will accrue interest at an annual interest rate equal to 8%. All interest will be payable on the Maturity Date or upon the conversion of the applicable Note.
The Company has the option to prepay each Note, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty.
the Company or the Investor may elect at any time on or before the Maturity Date to convert the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due under any Note into shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price applicable to any such conversion will be an amount equal to 70% of the lesser of: (i) the closing bid price of the common stock on the date of the Purchase Agreement (i.e., $9.35 per share); or (ii) the 10-day volume weighted average closing bid price for the common stock, as listed on NASDAQ for the 10 business days immediately preceding the date of conversion (the “Average Price”); provided, however, that in no event will the Average Price per share be less than $1.00. For example, if the Average Price is $0.50 per share, then for purposes of calculating the conversion price, the Average Price per share would be $1.00 per share instead of $0.50 per share.
If either party elects to convert all or any portion of any Note, the Company must issue to the Investor on the date of the conversion a warrant (“Contingent Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion. This number of shares is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, certainpro rata distributions, and certain fundamental transactions. Each Contingent Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years following the date of its issuance at an exercise price equal to 110% of the conversion price of the applicable Note (with the exercise price being subject to adjustment under the same conditions as the number of shares for which the warrant is exercisable.) The Contingent Warrants provide that they may be exercised in whole or in part and include a cashless exercise feature.

56

The Notes provide that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts payable to the Investor will become immediately due and payable without any demand or notice. The events of default (“Events of Default”) which trigger the acceleration of the Notes include (among other things): (i) the Company’s failure to make any payment required under the Notes when due (subject to a three-day cure period), (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with its covenants and agreements under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and any other transaction documents, and (iii) the occurrence of a change of control with respect to the Company.
The Company (i) is required to provide certain financial and other information to the Investor from time to time, (ii) must maintain its corporate existence, business, assets, properties, insurance and records in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, (iii) with certain exceptions, must not incur or suffer to exist any liens or other encumbrances with respect to the Company’s property or assets, (iv) must not make certain loans or investments except in compliance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and (v) must not enter into certain types of transactions, including dispositions of its assets or business.
The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable, any approvals of the Company’s stockholders required under applicable law or NASDAQ Listing Rules in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Unless and until any such stockholder approvals are obtained, in no event will the Investor be entitled to convert any Notes and/or exercise any Contingent Warrants to the extent that any such conversion or exercise would result in the Investor acquiring in such transactions a number of shares of the Company’s common stock exceeding 19.99% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company’s entry into the Purchase Agreement.
The Investor will be entitled to certain anti-dilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable conversion price for any Note(s) issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If any such dilutive issuance occurs prior to the conversion of one or more Notes, the conversion price for such Note(s) will be adjusted downward pursuant to its terms (subject to a floor of $0.70 per share). If any such dilutive issuance occurs after the conversion of one or more Notes, the Investor will be entitled to be issued additional shares of common stock for no consideration, and to an adjustment of the exercise price payable under the applicable Contingent Warrant(s). With respect to each Note actually issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Investor’s anti-dilution rights will expire two (2) years following the date of issuance.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Contingent Warrants contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such documents, copies of which are attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibits 10.10, 10.11 and 10.12, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010.2013. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.
