INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Proficient Systems, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Proficient Systems, Inc. as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
On June 22, 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders entered into a plan of merger with LivePerson, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The merger was accomplished in July 2006. Under this plan, the outstanding equity of the Company was exchanged for equity in LivePerson, Inc. Readers of these financial statements should refer to the merger agreement for a more complete description of the transaction.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Proficient Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “Proficient”) was incorporated in the state of Georgia on November 2, 2000. The Company was reorganized effective February 10, 2005, as further described in Note 5. Proficient develops software that will be the infrastructure for connecting a network of accredited, experienced and product-knowledgeable sales personnel with opportunities to sell complex goods and services more effectively in a variety of consultative, online transactional environments. The Company has chosen to initially develop an enterprise software solution connecting its customers’ salespeople to their web sales sites and giving them the tools to interact with their customers. Proficient has targeted specific industries that sell products online that would benefit from interactive sales assistance.
On June 22, 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders entered into a plan of merger with LivePerson, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The merger was accomplished in July 2006. Under this plan, the outstanding equity of the Company was exchanged for equity in LivePerson, Inc. Readers of these financial statements should refer to the merger agreement for a more complete description of the transaction.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
As of February 1, 2006, the Company formed a subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) based in the United Kingdom. On the same date, this subsidiary acquired a majority interest in a UK company that is dedicated to selling and servicing the Company's products for customers in Europe. In the event of certain circumstances involving a change of control of the Company, the minority shareholders of this UK subsidiary have certain rights to receive a portion of the proceeds that otherwise would go to selling shareholders. The accounts of this subsidiary have been consolidated into these financial statements; all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers short-term investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. On occasion, the Company maintains balances at federally insured depositories in excess of insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of the financial institutions and believes its exposure to loss is minimal.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents are held primarily with one financial institution. The Company has recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts against the accounts receivable balances. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against accounts receivable balances based on review of the current status of existing receivables, historical collection experience, and management’s evaluation of the effect of existing economic conditions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Receivables are charged to the allowance account when deemed to be uncollectible.
See independent accountants’ review report.
Proficient Systems, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, five customers collectively accounted for approximately 53% of revenue. Included in accounts receivable at June 30, 2006 was approximately $314,612 related to these customers.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of debt approximates its fair value since the debt bears interest at market rates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, which includes assets held under capital leases, are stated at cost. Computer equipment is depreciated using the double-declining balance method over three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining life of the tenant lease. All other property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, ranging from 3 to 7 years.
If facts and circumstances indicate that the remaining property and equipment or other assets may be impaired, an evaluation of continuing value would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets would be compared to their carrying amount to determine if a write down to fair value or discounted cash flow value is required.
Marketing and Advertising Costs
Marketing and advertising costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. The Company incurred such costs totaling $238,414 and $161,609 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the liability method, the Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the book basis for financial reporting and the tax basis of an asset or liability.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue consists primarily of fees from subscription agreements for providing hosted software and services. The Company also derives revenue from the licensing of software; fees from consulting, implementation and training services (collectively, “professional services”), plus customer support services and software enhancement.
See independent accountants’ review report.
Proficient Systems, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Fees from subscription agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.
The Company recognizes software license revenue under Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions (“SOP 98-9”), specifically when the following criteria are met: (1) a signed contract is obtained; (2) delivery of the product has occurred; (3) the license fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is probable. SOP 98-9 requires recognition of revenue using the “residual method” when (1) there is vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair values of all undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement that is not accounted for using long-term contract accounting; (2) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement; and (3) all revenue-recognition criteria in SOP 97-2, other than the requirement for vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of each delivered element of the arrangement are satisfied. For those contracts that contain significant customization or modifications, license revenue would be recognized under the percentage of completion method. Software enhancement subscriptions, which consist of fees for the license of the Company’s software and maintenance of the software and related hardware, are generally paid monthly and recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement.
Fees from professional services performed by the Company are generally billed on an hourly basis, and revenue is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue related to fixed-fee based contracts is recognized on a percent complete basis based on the hours incurred. Project losses are provided for in their entirety in the period in which they become known. Revenue related to customer support services and hosting services are generally paid in advance and recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, typically 12 months.
Deferred revenue represents amounts billed or collected in advance of the applicable subscription period or prior to complete performance of professional services, customer support services or other significant obligations that remain under license agreements.
Software Development Costs
Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Proficient defines establishment of technological feasibility as the completion of a working model. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility through the period of general market availability of the products are capitalized, if material, after consideration of various factors, including net realizable value. To date, software development costs that are eligible for capitalization have not been material and have been expensed. Total software development costs expensed were $497,000 and $601,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
See independent accountants’ review report.
Proficient Systems, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Stock Based Compensation
The Company adopted FAS 123R Share-Based Payment on January 1, 2006. This requires the Company to expense the estimated fair value of options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006.
The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: weighted average risk-free interest rate of 4.4%; volatility of 60%; a dividend yield of 0%; and weighted-average expected life of the options of 10 years.
The resulting compensation cost related to options was not significant.
3. Financing Arrangements
Equipment Loan
On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a note agreement with a bank providing for borrowings of $750,000. Interest accrues on borrowings at the bank’s prime rate plus 2%. The arrangement provides for payments of interest only through December 31, 2005, at which time the unpaid principal is due monthly in an amount equal to 1/24 of the principal balance at December 31, 2005, together with interest on the remaining unpaid principal and any additional borrowings. The note is secured by an interest in corporate assets. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, borrowings totaled $402,666 and $162,081, respectively.
Bridge Financing
On December 30, 2005, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with certain parties, all of which are stockholders or affiliates of stockholders, to fund working capital requirements. The agreement provided for maximum borrowing of $2,500,000, funded over a series of closings, the first of which occurred in December 2005. The agreement requires the Company to issue the lender warrants to purchase shares of Series B Preferred stock in an amount equal to 20% of the value of the funding, divided by $4.49, at each closing. When entering into this agreement, the Company also restated its Articles of Incorporation to provide certain anti-dilution and preemptive rights protections to existing shareholders.
The first funding, which occurred on December 30, 2005, was for $900,000. The notes provide for interest at an annual rate of 12%, paid annually; and a security interest in corporate assets (subordinate to the equipment note described above). All unpaid principal and accrued interest are due March 31, 2008. Warrants for the purchase of 40,087 shares of Series B Preferred shares at a strike price of $4.49 per share were issued as a part of the financing.
The second funding, which occurred on February 3, 2006, was for $1,600,000. The notes provide for interest at an annual rate of 12%, paid annually; and a security interest in corporate assets (subordinate to the equipment note described above). All unpaid principal and accrued interest are due March 31, 2008. Warrants for the purchase of 71,267 shares of Series B Preferred shares at a strike price of $4.49 per share were issued as a part of the financing.
See independent accountants’ review report.
Proficient Systems, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In addition, on June 22, 2006, the Company entered into a new financing arrangement with certain parties, all of which are stockholders or affiliates of stockholders, to fund working capital requirements. The agreement provided for maximum borrowing of $500,000, which was funded on June 30, 2006. Interest accrues on borrowings at an annual rate equal to 12%, calculated quarterly. The remaining unpaid principal, together with any unpaid accrued interest, is due to be repaid on March 31, 2008.
4. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2006 are as follows:
| | | |
Deferred income tax assets: | | | |
Net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 9,050,000 | |
Depreciation | | | 63,000 | |
Less valuation allowance | | | (9,113,000 | ) |
Net deferred income taxes | | $ | - | |
For federal income tax purposes at June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $23.8 million and $19.1 million that begin expiring in 2020. A full valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset given the uncertainty regarding the realization of the net deferred tax asset. The amount of net operating losses available to offset future taxable income may be limited due to changes in ownership.
See independent accountants’ review report.

5. Stockholders’ Equity
Parent Company (Proficient Systems, Inc.)
On February 10, 2005 the Parent Company’s capital structure was reorganized. Shareholders of record on that date received new shares under a conversion formula that is more fully described in the underlying recapitalization agreement. Readers of these financial statements should refer to that document for a more complete understanding of the reorganization.
Capital stock is authorized at 30,000,000 shares, of which 20,000,000 shares are $0.01 par common and 10,000,000 are $0.01 par preferred. Of the preferred stock, 1,597,671 shares are designated Series A Preferred, and 1,057,907 are designated Series B Preferred.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company issued 27,840 and 27,840 shares, respectively, of Series B Preferred shares under a compensation arrangement with a key executive.
At June 30, 2006 shares issued and outstanding were as follows:
Equity Issue | | Issued and Outstanding |
| | |
Common | | 230,395 |
Series A Preferred | | 1,589,639 |
Series B Preferred | | 992,485 |
Dividends
If declared, dividends are first paid on Series B Preferred shares at a rate of 8% per share, per year, noncumulative. After Series B Preferred dividends are fully paid, Series A Preferred shares are entitled to dividends at 8% per share, per year, noncumulative. Any remaining dividends are allocated ratably among Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, and common shares.
Liquidation Preference
