1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||||||||||||||
Nature of Business | ||||||||||||||
LookSmart, Ltd. (“LookSmart” or the “Company”) is a digital advertising solutions company that provides relevant solutions for search and display advertising customers. LookSmart was organized in 1996 and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. | ||||||||||||||
LookSmart operates in a large online advertising ecosystem serving ads that target user queries on partner sites. | ||||||||||||||
LookSmart offers search advertising customers targeted search via a monitored search advertising distribution network using the Company’s “AdCenter” platform technology. The Company’s search advertising network includes publishers and search advertising customers, including intermediaries and direct advertising customers and their agencies, as well as self-service customers in the United States and certain other countries. | ||||||||||||||
LookSmart also offers advertisers the ability to buy graphical display advertising. LookSmart’s trading desk personnel utilize DSP technology and licensed data from third party providers to buy targeted advertising on a real-time bidded basis. By leveraging our extensive historical search marketing network data along with performance data from a conversion pixel, LookSmart constructs models of the highest performing audiences, and targets them via exchange inventory. LookSmart offers its trading desk as a managed service. | ||||||||||||||
On September 3, 2013, Looksmart purchased the assets of Syncapse, Inc., for $3.0 million. For this consideration, the Company acquired a social media platform that allows enterprise customers the ability to publish, monitor and analyze their social media presence on paid, owned and earned media. The Company has begun to work with large international brands to assist them in creating, maintaining and analyzing their social media presence online. As a result of this asset purchase, the Company is expanding its offerings to our current customer base. This expanded offering allows LookSmart’s traditional customers the ability to manage ad spend in both search and social. The company intends to partner with social media companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube, as well as others, to allow customers the ability to maximize their ad spend in all relevant ad categories. | ||||||||||||||
Our largest category of customers is Intermediaries, the majority of which sell into the affiliate networks of the large search engine providers. Another category of customers is Direct Advertisers and their agencies whose objective is to obtain conversions or sales from the clicks, while others want unique page views. The last category of customers is Self-Service advertisers that sign-up online and pay by credit card. | ||||||||||||||
Subsequent to the quarter end, the company acquired a 10,000 square foot Data Center Facility in Phoenix, Arizona. This facility will allow the company to consolidate its data needs in a company-owned data center, as well as expand its cloud based offerings to our customers. | ||||||||||||||
In addition, LookSmart offers publishers licensed private-label search advertiser network solutions based on its AdCenter platform technology (“Publisher Solutions”). Publisher Solutions consist of hosted auction-based ad serving with an ad backfill capability that allows publishers and portals to manage their advertiser relationships, distribution channels and accounts. | ||||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | ||||||||||||||
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||||||||
Unaudited Interim Financial Information | ||||||||||||||
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, reflect all adjustments that are normal and recurring in nature and, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair representation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2013 and the results of operations for the periods shown. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“Annual Report”). The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2013 is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. | ||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates and Assumptions | ||||||||||||||
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue, expenses, and contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on various factors and information which may include, but are not limited to, history and prior experience, experience of other enterprises in the same industry, new related events, and current economic conditions and information from third party professionals that is believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented. | ||||||||||||||
Investments | ||||||||||||||
The Company invests its excess cash primarily in debt instruments of high-quality corporate and government issuers. All highly liquid instruments with maturities at the date of purchase greater than ninety days are considered investments. Such securities are classified as short-term investments. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value. | ||||||||||||||
Changes in the value of these investments are primarily related to changes in interest rates and are considered to be temporary in nature. Except for declines in fair value that are not considered temporary, net unrealized gains or losses on these investments are reported as a component of Other Comprehensive Loss in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company recognizes realized gains and losses upon sale of investments using the specific identification method. | ||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||||
The Company’s estimate of fair value for assets and liabilities is based on a framework that establishes a hierarchy of the inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect our significant market assumptions. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access. | |||||||||||||
Level 2: | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, default rates, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data. | |||||||||||||
Level 3: | Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use. | |||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||||||||||
Our online search advertising revenue is composed of per-click fees that we charge customers and profit sharing arrangements we enter with Intermediaries. The per-click fee charged for keyword-targeted listings is calculated based on the results of online bidding for keywords or page content, up to a maximum cost per keyword or page content set by the customer. The Company has profit-sharing agreements with several customers that call for the sharing of profits and losses. Profit sharing arrangements are governed by contractual agreements. Revenue from these profit-sharing agreements is reported net of the customer’s share of profit. | ||||||||||||||
Revenue also includes revenue share from licensing of private-labeled versions of our AdCenter Platform. | ||||||||||||||
Revenues associated with online advertising products, including Advertiser Networks, are generally recognized once collectability is established, delivery of services has occurred, all performance obligations have been satisfied, and no refund obligations exist. We pay distribution network partners based on clicks on the advertiser’s ad that are displayed on the websites of these distribution network partners. These payments are called TAC and are included in cost of revenue. The revenue derived from these arrangements that involve traffic supplied by distribution network partners is reported gross of the payment to the distribution network partners. This revenue is reported gross due to the fact that we are the primary obligors to the advertisers who are the customers of the advertising service. | ||||||||||||||
We also enter into agreements to provide private-labeled versions of our products, including licenses to the AdCenter platform technology. These license arrangements may include some or all of the following elements: revenue-sharing based on the publisher’s customer’s monthly revenue generated through the AdCenter application; upfront fees; minimum monthly fees; and other license fees. We recognize upfront fees over the term of the arrangement or the expected period of performance, other license fees over the term of the license, and revenue-sharing portions over the period in which such revenue is earned. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. | ||||||||||||||
We provide a provision against revenue for estimated reductions resulting from billing adjustments and customer refunds. The amounts of these provisions are evaluated periodically based upon customer experience and historical trends. The allowance included in trade receivables, net is insignificant at both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Deferred revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of performance in underlying agreements. Customer deposits are recorded when customers make prepayments for online advertising. | ||||||||||||||
The Company evaluates individual arrangements with customers to make a determination under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-45 Revenue Recognition. We test and record revenue accordingly. | ||||||||||||||
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ||||||||||||||
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers failing to make required payments. This valuation allowance is reviewed on a periodic basis. The review is based on factors including the application of historical collection rates to current receivables and economic conditions. Additional allowances for doubtful accounts are considered and recorded if there is deterioration in past due balances, if economic conditions are less favorable than the Company anticipated or for customer-specific circumstances, such as bankruptcy. The allowance for doubtful accounts included in trade accounts receivable, net is $0.9 and $0.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Bad debt expense included in general and administrative expense was not significant and $0.2 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Bad debt expense included in general and administrative expense was not significant and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Concentrations, Credit Risk and Credit Risk Evaluation | ||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ||||||||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company placed its cash equivalents and investments primarily through one financial institution, City National Bank (“CNB”), and mitigated the concentration of credit risk by placing percentage limits on the maximum portion of the investment portfolio, which may be invested in any one investment instrument. These amounts exceed federally insured limits at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company has not experienced any credit losses on these cash equivalents and investment accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on these funds. The fair value of these accounts is subject to fluctuation based on market prices. | ||||||||||||||
Credit Risk, Customer and Vendor Evaluation | ||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from sales to customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for estimated credit losses. The Company applies judgment as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables based primarily on management’s evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and past collection history and records a specific allowance. In addition, the Company records an allowance based on the length of time the receivables are past due. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations. | ||||||||||||||

_________________________________________________________ | ||||||||||||||
** Less than 10% | ||||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | ||||||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at cost, except when an impairment analysis requires the use of fair value, and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: | ||||||||||||||
Computer equipment | 3 to 4 years | |||||||||||||
Furniture and fixtures | 5 to 7 years | |||||||||||||
Software | 2 to 3 years | |||||||||||||
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. | ||||||||||||||
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from their respective accounts, and any gain or loss on such sale or disposal is reflected in operating expenses. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that substantially increase an asset’s useful life are capitalized. | ||||||||||||||
At December 31, 2012, the Company determined that continuing losses associated with the use of long-lived assets and a projection of associated future cash flows required the adjustment of long-lived assets to fair value at December 31, 2012. Accordingly, long-lived assets including capitalized software, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, software and leasehold improvements with a recorded net value of $2.7 million were reduced to fair value of $0.4 million at December 31, 2012. These assets are being depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated remaining useful lives, which is 19 months. | ||||||||||||||
In August 2013, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for a building in Arizona and closed escrow on November 1, 2013. | ||||||||||||||
Internal-Use Software Development Costs | ||||||||||||||
The Company capitalizes external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing and obtaining internal-use computer software and the payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to developing the internal-use computer software. These costs are capitalized after certain milestones have been achieved and generally amortized over a three-year period once the project is placed in service. | ||||||||||||||
Management exercises judgment in determining when costs related to a project may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs, and in determining the amortization period for the capitalized costs, which is generally three years. The Company expects to continue to invest in internally developed software and to capitalize such costs in the future, although no such costs were incurred or capitalized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. | ||||||||||||||
Restructuring Charges | ||||||||||||||
In August 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease its office space in San Francisco under terms generally equivalent to its existing commitment. Restructuring costs associated with the sub-lease of the San Francisco, totaling $0.1 million at September30, 2013, are being amortized over the remaining term of the underlying lease. | ||||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||||||||||||||
The Company reviews long-lived assets held or used in operations, including property and equipment and internally developed software, for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10 “Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. | ||||||||||||||
The Company reviews assets for evidence of impairment annually at year-end and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. The impairment review requires the Company to make significant estimates about its future performance and cash flows, as well as other assumptions. These estimates can be affected by numerous factors, including changes in economic, industry or market conditions, changes in business operations and changes in competition. At December 31, 2012, the Company determined that continuing losses associated with the use of long-lived assets and a projection of associated future cash flows required the adjustment of long-lived assets to fair market value at December 31, 2012. The lower projected operating results reflect changes in assumptions related to revenue growth rates, market trends, business mix, cost structure, and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results. Accordingly, long-lived assets including capitalized software, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, software and leasehold improvements with a recorded net book value of $2.7 million were reduced to fair market value of $0.4 million at December 31, 2012. | ||||||||||||||
The fair value of the long-lived assets was derived based on Level 3 inputs, which are based on significant inputs that are not observable. The fair value of the capitalized software long-lived assets was determined using an income approach, based on expected future cash flows and market considerations. The fair value of the computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, software and leasehold improvements long-lived assets was determined using a market approach, based on comparable fair values of similar assets. | ||||||||||||||
Traffic Acquisition Costs | ||||||||||||||
The Company enters into agreements of varying durations with its distribution network partners that display the Company’s listings ads on their sites in return for a percentage of the revenue-per-click that the Company receives when the ads are clicked on those partners’ sites. | ||||||||||||||
The Company also enters into agreements of varying durations with third party affiliates. These affiliate agreements provide for variable payments based on a percentage of the Company’s revenue or based on a certain metric, such as number of searches or paid clicks. | ||||||||||||||
TAC expense is recorded in cost of revenue. | ||||||||||||||
Share-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes share-based compensation costs for all share-based payment transactions with employees, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock awards, and employee stock purchases related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, over the requisite service period based on their relative fair values. We estimate the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Our assumptions about stock-price volatility are based on the actual volatility of our publically traded stock. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. We estimate the expected term based upon the historical exercise activity. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations over the requisite service periods. Share-based compensation expense, related to stock option grants and employee stock purchases, recognized for both the three and nine months ended September30, 2013 was not significant. Share-based compensation expense recognized for the three and nine months ended September30, 2012, was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. The forfeiture rate is determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, based on historical rates. | ||||||||||||||
The Company elected to adopt the alternative transition method for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee share-based compensation awards. | ||||||||||||||
Advertising Costs | ||||||||||||||
Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expenses as incurred and were insignificant in both the three and nine months ended September30, 2013 as well as both the three and nine months ended September30, 2012. | ||||||||||||||
Product Development Costs | ||||||||||||||
Research of new product ideas and enhancements to existing products are charged to expense as incurred. | ||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | ||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company records liabilities, where appropriate, for all uncertain income tax positions. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax expense. | ||||||||||||||
Comprehensive Loss | ||||||||||||||
Other comprehensive loss as of September30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, consists of unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities categorized as available-for-sale and foreign currency translation adjustments. | ||||||||||||||
Net Loss per Common Share | ||||||||||||||
Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, excluding treasury stock. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, excluding treasury stock, during the period, using the treasury stock method for stock options. As a result of the Company’s net loss position at both September30, 2013 and 2012, there is no dilution. | ||||||||||||||
Segment Information | ||||||||||||||
The Company has one operating segment, online advertising. While the Company operates under one operating segment, management reviews revenue under two product offerings—Advertiser Networks and Publisher Solutions. | ||||||||||||||
As of September30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s accounts receivable and deferred revenue are primarily related to the online advertising segment. All long-lived assets are located in the United States. | ||||||||||||||
Adoption of New Accounting Standards | ||||||||||||||
On January 1, 2013, we adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”, which amends the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment guidance, providing an option for companies to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment if certain conditions are met. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
On January 1, 2013, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB, ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements”, which clarifies or corrects unintended application of guidance and includes amendments identifying when the use of fair value should be linked to the definition of fair value in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
On January 1, 2013, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB, ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which requires companies to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
On January 1, 2013, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB, ASU 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters – Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, on releasing Cumulative Translation Adjustments when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ||||||||||||||
In December 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to an existing accounting standard which indefinitely defers the requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. | ||||||||||||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Liabilities – Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date”, an amendment providing guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The Company is required to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2014. Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. | ||||||||||||||
Subsequent Events | ||||||||||||||
On November 6, 2013, the Company effected a 1:3 reverse stock split. | ||||||||||||||

Realized gains and losses were not significant for either of the three and nine months ended September30, 2013 and 2012. As of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, there were no significant unrealized gains or losses on investments. The cost of all securities sold is based on the specific identification method. | ||||||||
The contractual maturities of cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, were less than one year. The contractual maturity of the long-term investments is one year as of September 30, 2013. There were no long-term investments at December 31, 2012. | ||||||||
The Company typically invests in highly rated securities and its policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews such factors as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges on outstanding investments. As of September 30, 2013, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. | ||||||||

City National Bank | ||||||||
In April 2007, the Company entered into a master equipment lease agreement with City National Bank (“CNB”) for an original amount of up to $5.0 million for the purchase of computer equipment. The lease expired on April 30, 2010, at which time the Company had drawn down approximately $4.9 million of the available lease line of credit. Interest on the capital leases was calculated using interest rates ranging from 4.32% to 7.95% per annum. In 2011, the master equipment lease agreement was amended to modify two financial covenants, with which the Company was in compliance as of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012. | ||||||||
The agreements with CNB, consisting of an outstanding standby letter of credit (“SBLC”) and a master equipment lease agreement, contain cross-default provisions, whereby a default under one is deemed a default for the other, and are secured by a general lien on all assets of the Company. As of September30, 2013, all remaining equipment leases were paid in full and the Company was not in default on the SBLC. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was not in default on either agreement with CNB. For further discussion see Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies. | ||||||||

Guarantees and Indemnities | |||||
During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain guarantees, indemnities and commitments under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include intellectual property and other indemnities to the Company’s customers and distribution network partners in connection with the sales of its products, and indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease. | |||||
Officer and Director Indemnification | |||||
The Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving, at the Company’s request, in such capacity, to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company maintains directors and officers insurance coverage that may contribute, up to certain limits, a portion of any future amounts paid, for indemnification of directors and officers. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is minimal. Historically, the Company has not incurred any losses or recorded any liabilities related to performance under these types of indemnities. | |||||
Legal Proceedings | |||||
On September 4, 2013, Cowen and Company, LLC filed a complaint against LookSmart with the Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco. According to the complaint, Cowen claims that LookSmart is required by an engagement letter dated August 14, 2009 to pay Cowen a $1,000,000 "Sale Transaction Fee" as a result of the third-party tender offer consummated by PEEK Investments LLC on January 14, 2013. LookSmart believes the claims are meritless and intends to vigorously defend the matter. | |||||
The Company is involved, from time to time, in various other legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect resolution of these matters to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position unless stated otherwise. However, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could, depending on its amount and timing, materially affect its results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a future period. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. | |||||

In December 1997, the Company approved the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”). In June 2007, the stockholders approved the LookSmart 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Under the 2007 Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and stock rights to employees, directors and consultants. Share-based incentive awards are provided under the terms of these two plans (collectively, the “Plans”). | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the Company’s Plans. Awards under the Plans principally include at-the-money options and fully vested restricted stock. Outstanding stock options generally become exercisable over a four-year period from the grant date and have a term of seven years. Grants can only be made under the 2007 Plan. The 1998 Plan is closed to further share issuance and all options have expired or been forfeited as of September30, 2013. The number of shares issued or reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan was 3.7 million shares of common stock as of September30, 2013. The number of shares issued or reserved for issuance under both Plans was 4.1 million shares of common stock as of December 31, 2012.

ESPP contributions are limited to a maximum of 15 percent of an employee’s eligible compensation, and ESPP participants are limited to purchasing a maximum of 5,000 shares per purchase period. Share-based compensation expense for the 2009 ESPP was insignificant in 2013 and 2012. As of September 30, 2013, 84 thousand shares have been issued under the 2009 Plan. Following the February 15, 2013 purchase, the ESPP was suspended pending a review by the Company’s Board of Directors of all equity incentive arrangements. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Share-Based Compensation Valuation Assumptions | |||||||||||||||||||||
We estimate the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Our assumptions about stock-price volatility are based on the actual volatility of our publically traded stock. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. We estimate the expected term based upon the historical exercise activity. | |||||||||||||||||||||
No options have been granted in 2013. The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the weighted average grant date fair value per share for employee stock options granted in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||
Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||
2013 | 2012 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||||||||||
Volatility | n/a | 62.6 | % | n/a | 62.6 | % | |||||||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | n/a | 0.61 | % | n/a | 0.74 | % | |||||||||||||||

Expected dividend yield | n/a | - | n/a | - | |||||||||||||||||
Weighted average grant date fair value | n/a | $ | 0.45 | n/a | $ | 0.51 | |||||||||||||||
Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Exercise of Employee and Director Stock Options and Purchase Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||
There were no options exercised in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and no options and 2 thousand options exercised in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised and the total cash received as a result of exercises under all share-based compensation arrangements was insignificant for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options. No income tax benefits have been realized from exercised stock options. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Repurchase of Equity Securities by the Company | |||||||||||||||||||||
In May 2012, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 million of the Company's common shares. Under the program, the Company may purchase its common shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Approximately 30 thousand shares were purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 at approximately $0.66 per share under the program and recorded as Treasury Stock at cost totaling approximately $18 thousand dollars. Approximately 56 thousand shares were purchased at approximately $0.85 per share under the program in the year ended December 31, 2012, and recorded as Treasury Stock at cost totaling approximately $48 thousand dollars. | |||||||||||||||||||||

The Company held no Level 3 investments at December 31, 2012. | ||||||||||||||
At December 31, 2012, the Company used Level 3 inputs to value certain long-lived assets. See Note 1, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, for detail. | ||||||||||||||
Investments | ||||||||||||||
For investments that have quoted market prices in active markets, the Company uses the quoted market prices as fair value and includes these prices in the amounts disclosed in Level 1 of the hierarchy. The Company receives the quoted market prices from a third party, nationally recognized pricing service (“pricing service”). When quoted market prices are unavailable, the Company utilizes a pricing service to determine a single estimate of fair value, which is mainly for its fixed maturity investments. The fair value estimates provided from this pricing service are included in the amount disclosed in Level 2 of the hierarchy. The Company bases all of its estimates of fair value for assets on the bid price as it represents what a third party market participant would be willing to pay in an arm’s length transaction. | ||||||||||||||
The Company validates the prices received from the pricing service using various methods including, applicability of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other national government insurance or guarantees, comparison of proceeds received on individual investments subsequent to reporting date, prices received from publicly available sources, and review of transaction volume data to confirm the presence of active markets. The Company does not adjust the prices received from the pricing service unless such prices are determined to be inconsistent. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company did not adjust prices received from the pricing service. | ||||||||||||||
On June 1, 2013 the Company invested approximately $2.0 million in a fully collateralized fund with a maturity date of September 30, 2014. The investment generally entitles the Company to monthly payments of principal and interest, subject to certain restrictions. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has received payments of $0.2 million in principal and $0.1 million in interest. The investment is recorded at amortized cost, reduced for non-temporary losses charged to earnings. No non-temporary losses were recognized by the Company as of and for the periods since the date of investment. As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate fair value of the investment is approximately $1.8 million. | ||||||||||||||
Trade accounts receivable, net: The carrying value reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value and is net of allowances for doubtful accounts and returns which estimate customer non-performance risk. | ||||||||||||||
Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying value reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items approximates their fair value, which is the likely amount that the liability with short settlement periods would be transferred to a market participant with a similar credit standing as the Company. | ||||||||||||||

Nature of Business | ||||||||||||||
LookSmart, Ltd. (“LookSmart” or the “Company”) is a digital advertising solutions company that provides relevant solutions for search and display advertising customers. LookSmart was organized in 1996 and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. | ||||||||||||||
LookSmart operates in a large online advertising ecosystem serving ads that target user queries on partner sites. | ||||||||||||||
LookSmart offers search advertising customers targeted search via a monitored search advertising distribution network using the Company’s “AdCenter” platform technology. The Company’s search advertising network includes publishers and search advertising customers, including intermediaries and direct advertising customers and their agencies, as well as self-service customers in the United States and certain other countries. | ||||||||||||||
LookSmart also offers advertisers the ability to buy graphical display advertising. LookSmart’s trading desk personnel utilize DSP technology and licensed data from third party providers to buy targeted advertising on a real-time bidded basis. By leveraging our extensive historical search marketing network data along with performance data from a conversion pixel, LookSmart constructs models of the highest performing audiences, and targets them via exchange inventory. LookSmart offers its trading desk as a managed service. | ||||||||||||||
On September 3, 2013, Looksmart purchased the assets of Syncapse, Inc., for $3.0 million. For this consideration, the Company acquired a social media platform that allows enterprise customers the ability to publish, monitor and analyze their social media presence on paid, owned and earned media. The Company has begun to work with large international brands to assist them in creating, maintaining and analyzing their social media presence online. As a result of this asset purchase, the Company is expanding its offerings to our current customer base. This expanded offering allows LookSmart’s traditional customers the ability to manage ad spend in both search and social. The company intends to partner with social media companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube, as well as others, to allow customers the ability to maximize their ad spend in all relevant ad categories. | ||||||||||||||
Our largest category of customers is Intermediaries, the majority of which sell into the affiliate networks of the large search engine providers. Another category of customers is Direct Advertisers and their agencies whose objective is to obtain conversions or sales from the clicks, while others want unique page views. The last category of customers is Self-Service advertisers that sign-up online and pay by credit card. | ||||||||||||||
Subsequent to the quarter end, the company acquired a 10,000 square foot Data Center Facility in Phoenix, Arizona. This facility will allow the company to consolidate its data needs in a company-owned data center, as well as expand its cloud based offerings to our customers. | ||||||||||||||
In addition, LookSmart offers publishers licensed private-label search advertiser network solutions based on its AdCenter platform technology (“Publisher Solutions”). Publisher Solutions consist of hosted auction-based ad serving with an ad backfill capability that allows publishers and portals to manage their advertiser relationships, distribution channels and accounts. | ||||||||||||||
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | ||||||||||||||
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||||||||
Unaudited Interim Financial Information [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Unaudited Interim Financial Information | ||||||||||||||
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, reflect all adjustments that are normal and recurring in nature and, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair representation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2013 and the results of operations for the periods shown. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“Annual Report”). The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2013 is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. | ||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Use of Estimates and Assumptions | ||||||||||||||
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue, expenses, and contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on various factors and information which may include, but are not limited to, history and prior experience, experience of other enterprises in the same industry, new related events, and current economic conditions and information from third party professionals that is believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented. | ||||||||||||||
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Investments | ||||||||||||||
The Company invests its excess cash primarily in debt instruments of high-quality corporate and government issuers. All highly liquid instruments with maturities at the date of purchase greater than ninety days are considered investments. Such securities are classified as short-term investments. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value. | ||||||||||||||
Changes in the value of these investments are primarily related to changes in interest rates and are considered to be temporary in nature. Except for declines in fair value that are not considered temporary, net unrealized gains or losses on these investments are reported as a component of Other Comprehensive Loss in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The Company recognizes realized gains and losses upon sale of investments using the specific identification method. | ||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||||
The Company’s estimate of fair value for assets and liabilities is based on a framework that establishes a hierarchy of the inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect our significant market assumptions. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access. | |||||||||||||
Level 2: | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, default rates, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data. | |||||||||||||
Level 3: | Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use. | |||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||||||||||
Our online search advertising revenue is composed of per-click fees that we charge customers and profit sharing arrangements we enter with Intermediaries. The per-click fee charged for keyword-targeted listings is calculated based on the results of online bidding for keywords or page content, up to a maximum cost per keyword or page content set by the customer. The Company has profit-sharing agreements with several customers that call for the sharing of profits and losses. Profit sharing arrangements are governed by contractual agreements. Revenue from these profit-sharing agreements is reported net of the customer’s share of profit. | ||||||||||||||
Revenue also includes revenue share from licensing of private-labeled versions of our AdCenter Platform. | ||||||||||||||
Revenues associated with online advertising products, including Advertiser Networks, are generally recognized once collectability is established, delivery of services has occurred, all performance obligations have been satisfied, and no refund obligations exist. We pay distribution network partners based on clicks on the advertiser’s ad that are displayed on the websites of these distribution network partners. These payments are called TAC and are included in cost of revenue. The revenue derived from these arrangements that involve traffic supplied by distribution network partners is reported gross of the payment to the distribution network partners. This revenue is reported gross due to the fact that we are the primary obligors to the advertisers who are the customers of the advertising service. | ||||||||||||||
We also enter into agreements to provide private-labeled versions of our products, including licenses to the AdCenter platform technology. These license arrangements may include some or all of the following elements: revenue-sharing based on the publisher’s customer’s monthly revenue generated through the AdCenter application; upfront fees; minimum monthly fees; and other license fees. We recognize upfront fees over the term of the arrangement or the expected period of performance, other license fees over the term of the license, and revenue-sharing portions over the period in which such revenue is earned. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. | ||||||||||||||
We provide a provision against revenue for estimated reductions resulting from billing adjustments and customer refunds. The amounts of these provisions are evaluated periodically based upon customer experience and historical trends. The allowance included in trade receivables, net is insignificant at both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Deferred revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of performance in underlying agreements. Customer deposits are recorded when customers make prepayments for online advertising. | ||||||||||||||
The Company evaluates individual arrangements with customers to make a determination under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-45 Revenue Recognition. We test and record revenue accordingly. | ||||||||||||||
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ||||||||||||||
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers failing to make required payments. This valuation allowance is reviewed on a periodic basis. The review is based on factors including the application of historical collection rates to current receivables and economic conditions. Additional allowances for doubtful accounts are considered and recorded if there is deterioration in past due balances, if economic conditions are less favorable than the Company anticipated or for customer-specific circumstances, such as bankruptcy. The allowance for doubtful accounts included in trade accounts receivable, net is $0.9 and $0.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Bad debt expense included in general and administrative expense was not significant and $0.2 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Bad debt expense included in general and administrative expense was not significant and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Concentrations, Credit Risk and Credit Risk Evaluation | ||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ||||||||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company placed its cash equivalents and investments primarily through one financial institution, City National Bank (“CNB”), and mitigated the concentration of credit risk by placing percentage limits on the maximum portion of the investment portfolio, which may be invested in any one investment instrument. These amounts exceed federally insured limits at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company has not experienced any credit losses on these cash equivalents and investment accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on these funds. The fair value of these accounts is subject to fluctuation based on market prices. | ||||||||||||||
Credit Risk, Customer and Vendor Evaluation | ||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from sales to customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for estimated credit losses. The Company applies judgment as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables based primarily on management’s evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and past collection history and records a specific allowance. In addition, the Company records an allowance based on the length of time the receivables are past due. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations. | ||||||||||||||

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | ||||||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at cost, except when an impairment analysis requires the use of fair value, and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: | ||||||||||||||
Computer equipment | 3 to 4 years | |||||||||||||
Furniture and fixtures | 5 to 7 years | |||||||||||||
Software | 2 to 3 years | |||||||||||||
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. | ||||||||||||||
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from their respective accounts, and any gain or loss on such sale or disposal is reflected in operating expenses. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that substantially increase an asset’s useful life are capitalized. | ||||||||||||||
At December 31, 2012, the Company determined that continuing losses associated with the use of long-lived assets and a projection of associated future cash flows required the adjustment of long-lived assets to fair value at December 31, 2012. Accordingly, long-lived assets including capitalized software, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, software and leasehold improvements with a recorded net value of $2.7 million were reduced to fair value of $0.4 million at December 31, 2012. These assets are being depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated remaining useful lives, which is 19 months. | ||||||||||||||
In August 2013, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for a building in Arizona and closed escrow on November 1, 2013. | ||||||||||||||
Internal Use Software, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Internal-Use Software Development Costs | ||||||||||||||
The Company capitalizes external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing and obtaining internal-use computer software and the payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to developing the internal-use computer software. These costs are capitalized after certain milestones have been achieved and generally amortized over a three-year period once the project is placed in service. | ||||||||||||||
Management exercises judgment in determining when costs related to a project may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs, and in determining the amortization period for the capitalized costs, which is generally three years. The Company expects to continue to invest in internally developed software and to capitalize such costs in the future, although no such costs were incurred or capitalized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. | ||||||||||||||
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities or Restructurings, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Restructuring Charges | ||||||||||||||
In August 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease its office space in San Francisco under terms generally equivalent to its existing commitment. Restructuring costs associated with the sub-lease of the San Francisco, totaling $0.1 million at September30, 2013, are being amortized over the remaining term of the underlying lease. | ||||||||||||||
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||||||||||||||
The Company reviews long-lived assets held or used in operations, including property and equipment and internally developed software, for impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10 “Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. | ||||||||||||||
The Company reviews assets for evidence of impairment annually at year-end and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. The impairment review requires the Company to make significant estimates about its future performance and cash flows, as well as other assumptions. These estimates can be affected by numerous factors, including changes in economic, industry or market conditions, changes in business operations and changes in competition. At December 31, 2012, the Company determined that continuing losses associated with the use of long-lived assets and a projection of associated future cash flows required the adjustment of long-lived assets to fair market value at December 31, 2012. The lower projected operating results reflect changes in assumptions related to revenue growth rates, market trends, business mix, cost structure, and other expectations about the anticipated short-term and long-term operating results. Accordingly, long-lived assets including capitalized software, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, software and leasehold improvements with a recorded net book value of $2.7 million were reduced to fair market value of $0.4 million at December 31, 2012. | ||||||||||||||
The fair value of the long-lived assets was derived based on Level 3 inputs, which are based on significant inputs that are not observable. The fair value of the capitalized software long-lived assets was determined using an income approach, based on expected future cash flows and market considerations. The fair value of the computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, software and leasehold improvements long-lived assets was determined using a market approach, based on comparable fair values of similar assets. | ||||||||||||||
Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Traffic Acquisition Costs | ||||||||||||||
The Company enters into agreements of varying durations with its distribution network partners that display the Company’s listings ads on their sites in return for a percentage of the revenue-per-click that the Company receives when the ads are clicked on those partners’ sites. | ||||||||||||||

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Share-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes share-based compensation costs for all share-based payment transactions with employees, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock awards, and employee stock purchases related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, over the requisite service period based on their relative fair values. We estimate the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Our assumptions about stock-price volatility are based on the actual volatility of our publically traded stock. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. We estimate the expected term based upon the historical exercise activity. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations over the requisite service periods. Share-based compensation expense, related to stock option grants and employee stock purchases, recognized for both the three and nine months ended September30, 2013 was not significant. Share-based compensation expense recognized for the three and nine months ended September30, 2012, was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. The forfeiture rate is determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, based on historical rates. | ||||||||||||||
The Company elected to adopt the alternative transition method for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee share-based compensation awards. | ||||||||||||||
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Advertising Costs | ||||||||||||||
Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expenses as incurred and were insignificant in both the three and nine months ended September30, 2013 as well as both the three and nine months ended September30, 2012. | ||||||||||||||

Research of new product ideas and enhancements to existing products are charged to expense as incurred. | ||||||||||||||
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Income Taxes | ||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company records liabilities, where appropriate, for all uncertain income tax positions. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax expense. | ||||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Comprehensive Loss | ||||||||||||||
Other comprehensive loss as of September30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, consists of unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities categorized as available-for-sale and foreign currency translation adjustments. | ||||||||||||||
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Net Loss per Common Share | ||||||||||||||
Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, excluding treasury stock. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, excluding treasury stock, during the period, using the treasury stock method for stock options. As a result of the Company’s net loss position at both September30, 2013 and 2012, there is no dilution. | ||||||||||||||
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Segment Information | ||||||||||||||
The Company has one operating segment, online advertising. While the Company operates under one operating segment, management reviews revenue under two product offerings—Advertiser Networks and Publisher Solutions. | ||||||||||||||
As of September30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s accounts receivable and deferred revenue are primarily related to the online advertising segment. All long-lived assets are located in the United States. | ||||||||||||||
Adoption of New Accounting Standards [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Adoption of New Accounting Standards | ||||||||||||||
On January 1, 2013, we adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”, which amends the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment guidance, providing an option for companies to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment if certain conditions are met. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
On January 1, 2013, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB, ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements”, which clarifies or corrects unintended application of guidance and includes amendments identifying when the use of fair value should be linked to the definition of fair value in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
On January 1, 2013, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB, ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which requires companies to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
On January 1, 2013, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB, ASU 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters – Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, on releasing Cumulative Translation Adjustments when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | |||||||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ||||||||||||||
In December 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to an existing accounting standard which indefinitely defers the requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. | ||||||||||||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Liabilities – Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date”, an amendment providing guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The Company is required to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2014. Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. | ||||||||||||||
