NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, included herein, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair presentation. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to current period’s presentation. Accrued royalties of $19,000 as of December 31, 2006, is included in other accrued liabilities.
2. Significant accounting policies
Principles of consolidation
Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Local.com Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Interchange Europe Holding Corporation, Interchange Internet Search GmbH, Inspire Infrastructure 2i AB, and Inspire Infrastructure (UK) Limited, along with its majority owned subsidiary Inspire Infrastructure Espana SL. Subsequent to January 1, 2007, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Local.com Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Interchange Europe Holding Corporation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Intangible assets
Developed technology arising from acquisitions is recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2007 was $930,417.
Non-compete agreements arising from acquisitions are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2007 was $180,150.
Purchased technology arising from acquisitions is recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over three years. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2007 was $746,785.
Goodwill
Goodwill representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets arising from acquisitions and purchased domain name are recorded at cost. Intangible assets, such as goodwill and domain name, which are determined to have an indefinite life, are not amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company performs annual impairment reviews during the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or earlier, if indicators of potential impairment exist. The Company performed its annual impairment analysis as of December 31, 2006 and determined that no impairment existed. Future impairment reviews may result in charges against earnings to write-down the value of non-amortized assets.
Web site development costs and computer software developed for internal use
Statement of Position 98-1,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use(SOP 98-1), requires that costs incurred in the preliminary project and post-implementation stages of an internal use software project be expensed as incurred and that certain costs incurred in the application development stage of a project be capitalized. Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-02Accounting for Web Site Development Costs(EITF 00-02), requires that costs incurred in the preliminary project and operating stage of web site development be expensed as incurred and that certain costs incurred in the development stage of web site development be capitalized
7
and amortized over its useful life. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company capitalized an additional $67,000 related to the web site development with a useful life of three years. Amortization of capitalized web site costs was $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Capitalized web site costs are included in property and equipment, net.
Stock-based compensation
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R,Share-Based Paymenton January 1, 2006, the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2006, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under the modified-prospective transition method prior periods of the Company’s financial statements are not restated for comparison purposes. In addition, the measurement, recognition and attribution provisions of SFAS No. 123R apply to new grants and grants outstanding on the adoption date. Estimated compensation expense for outstanding grants at the adoption date will be recognized over the remaining vesting period using the compensation expense calculated for the pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amount):
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended | | | Three months ended | |
| | March 31, 2007 | | | March 31, 2006 | |
Sales and marketing | | $ | 120 | | | $ | 172 | |

Total stock-based compensation expense | | $ | 491 | | | $ | 915 | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Basic and diluted net compensation expense per share | | $ | 0.05 | | | $ | 0.10 | |
| | | | | | |
The fair values of these options were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended | | Three months ended |
| | March 31, 2007 | | March 31, 2006 |
| | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.55 | % | | | 4.63 | % |
Expected lives (in years) | | | 7.0 | | | | 6.0 | |
Expected dividend yield | | None | | None |
Expected volatility | | | 100.0 | % | | | 125.0 | % |
Net loss per share
SFAS No. 128,Earnings per Share, establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. Basic net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, using the as-if converted method for senior secured convertible notes, and the treasury stock method for options and warrants.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, potentially dilutive securities, which consist of options to purchase 1,909,061 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.40 to $16.59 per share, warrants to purchase 2,777,263 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $3.00 to $25.53 per share and senior secured convertible notes that could convert into 1,990,050 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because such inclusion would be antidilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, potentially dilutive securities, which consist of options to purchase 1,519,841 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.40 to $16.59 per share and warrants to purchase 1,228,184 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $2.00 to $25.53 per share were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because such inclusion would be antidilutive.

Income taxes
In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN48), which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. A tax position that meet the “more-likely-than-not” criterion shall be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN48 applies to all tax positions accounted for under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
The Company adopted FIN48 as of January 1, 2007, the beginning of its current fiscal year. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis, the Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position including its effective tax rate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48 and the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48. In addition, the Company has not recorded any accrued interest and penalties related to income tax. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties related to income tax as income taxes in its financial statements.
The following tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are as follows:
Federal – 2003, 2004 and 2005; and
California (State) – 2004 and 2005.
New accounting pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(SFAS 159), which creates an alternative measurement method for certain financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 permits fair value to be used for both the initial and subsequent measurements on a contract-by-contract election, with changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings as those changes occur. This election is referred to as the “fair value option.” SFAS 159 also requires additional disclosures to compensate for the lack of comparability that will arise from the use of the fair value option. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year, provided the company has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

7. Private Placement
On February 22, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with two investors. Pursuant to this agreement, the investors purchased an aggregate of $8.0 million of 9% senior secured convertible notes and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The senior secured convertible notes are secured by the Company’s assets and are due on February 23, 2009. Each senior secured convertible note holder has the right, at any time, to convert their note into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each $4.02 of principal amount of their note. The Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 796,020 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.82 per share that expire five years from the date of issuance and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 796,020 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.63 per share that expire five years from the date of issuance. The relative fair value of these warrants, using the Black-Scholes model at the date of grant, was $3.1 million and was recorded as convertible debt discount and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model were as follows: no dividend yield; 4.67% interest rate; five years contractual life; and volatility of 100%.
In connection with the issuance of the senior secured convertible notes, the Company paid $530,000 in cash for placement agent fees of which $205,000 was paid to a director of the Company. These fees are recorded in prepaid expenses and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes. The Company also issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase an aggregate of 71,642 shares of common stock, of which 27, 711 were issued to a director of the Company, at an exercise price of $4.82 per share that expire five years from the date of issuance and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 71,642 shares of common stock, of which 27,711 were issued to a director of the Company, at an exercise price of $5.63 per share that expire five years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants, using the Black-Scholes model at the date of grant, was $458,000 and was recorded in prepaid expenses and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.
On March 29, 2007, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Agreement whereby the exercise date of the warrants issued to the investors was amended to be the six month anniversary of the closing date (February 23, 2007) of the Purchase Agreement.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the attached condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, and with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of December 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2007.
Overview
We provide paid-search services that enable businesses to reach consumers through targeted online advertising. Our services enable businesses to advertise their products and services by listing them in our distributed Internet search results. We supply these sponsored listings to our Distribution Network in response to targeted keyword searches performed by Internet users. Sponsored listings are generally compiled according to the advertiser’s bid price for a click-through in connection with a specific keyword search.
We generate revenue each time an Internet user initiates a search on our Local.com web site, or on our Distribution Network, and clicks-through on a sponsored listing from our Advertiser Network. We also generate revenue each time we display a banner advertisement on our Local.com web site. If applicable, we share this revenue with the Distribution Network partner that provided the related search. We only recognize as revenue the portion of advertisers’ bid prices that the applicable Advertiser Network partner pays us for providing a click-through to its advertisers, as compared to the entire amount of advertisers’ bid prices from our direct advertisers. As a result, we typically generate higher revenue per click-through from our direct advertisers than from the indirect advertisers of other paid-search engines. However, due to the broad range of advertisers and related sponsored listings from our Advertiser Network partners, we tend to receive a greater volume of click-throughs on such listings. As we add additional Advertiser Network partners, we increase our opportunity to generate incremental revenue with little additional cost or effort.
Stock-based compensation
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R,Share-Based Payment,on January 1, 2006, the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2006, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under the modified-prospective transition method prior periods of our financial statements are not restated for comparison purposes. In addition, the measurement, recognition and attribution provisions of SFAS No. 123R apply to new grants and grants outstanding on the adoption date. Estimated compensation expense for outstanding grants at the adoption date will be recognized over the remaining vesting period using the compensation expense calculated for the pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

Income taxes
In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN48), which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. A tax position that meet the “more-likely-than-not” criterion shall be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN48 applies to all tax positions accounted for under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
We adopted FIN48 as of January 1, 2007, the beginning of our current fiscal year. Based on our preliminary analysis, we believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position including our effective tax rate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48 and we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48. In addition, we have not recorded any accrued interest and penalties related to income tax. It is our policy to classify interest and penalties related to income tax as income taxes in our financial statements.
The following tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are as follows:
Federal – 2003, 2004 and 2005
California (State) – 2004 and 2005

Three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
Revenue
Revenue was $4.9 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $1.7 million or 54.9%. The increase in our total revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of revenue generating click-throughs from our local business partially offset by a decrease in the number click-throughs from our national business. We expect revenue from our local business to continue to increase and revenue from our national business to decline.
Revenue from our local business was $4.1 million or 83.8% of our total revenue, revenue from our local international business was $8,000 or 0.2% and revenue from our national business was $780,000 or 16.0% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Revenue from our local business was $1.1 million or 34.4% of our total revenue, revenue from our local international business was $59,000 or 1.9% of our total revenue and revenue from our national business was $2.0 million or 63.7% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
We derived 10.1% of our revenue from direct advertisers and 89.9% of our revenue from our Advertiser Network partners during the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to 28.4% of our revenue from direct advertisers and 71.6% from Advertiser Network partners during the three months ended March 31, 2006. Our national Advertiser Network partner, LookSmart, represented 2.7% and 24.7% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, our local Advertising Network partner, Yahoo, represented 47.8% and 27.8% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and our local Advertising Network partner, Idearc, represented 15.6% and 0% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
16
Search serving
Search serving expenses were $807,000 and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing a decrease of $773,000 or 48.9%. As a percentage of revenue, search serving expenses were 16.5% and 50.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in absolute dollars was due to decreased payments to our Distribution Network partners associated with our lower national business revenue in the current period. The decrease in percentage was due to a greater portion of our revenue being generated from our local search business which has minimal search serving expenses associated with it. We expect search serving expense to continue to decrease as our revenue from our national business continues to decrease.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses were $4.7 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $2.2 million or 90.5%. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 96.3% and 78.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to an increase in advertising and traffic acquisition costs (TAC) for our Local.com web site. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase as we increase our TAC for our Local.com web site.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses were $1.3 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing a decrease of $471,000 or 26.17%. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 27.3% and 57.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in absolute dollars was primarily due to lower non-cash stock based compensation expense. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease slightly due to lower non-cash stock based compensation expense.
Research and development
Research and development expenses were $699,000 and $950,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing a decrease of $251,000 or 26.4%. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses were 14.3% and 30.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease in absolute dollars was primarily due to lower consulting expenses that were incurred in the first quarter of 2006 related to our national business and an increase in the capitalization of web site development costs. We capitalized an additional $67,000 of research and development expenses for web site development and amortized $42,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007. We did not capitalize any research and development expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and we amortized $20,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Amortization of intangibles
Amortization of intangibles expense was $237,000 for both of the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. This includes the amortization of developed technology and non-compete agreements associated with the Inspire acquisition, along with the amortization of purchased technology associated with the Atlocal asset purchase.
Interest and other income (expense)
Interest and other income (expense) was $(192,000) and $105,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing a decrease of $297,000. This decrease was due to lower interest income as a result of less cash to invest and an increase in interest expense related to the senior secured convertible notes issued in February 2007.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes was $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. This amount represents the minimum amounts required for state income taxes.
Net loss
We had a net loss of $3.1 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have funded our business, to date, primarily from issuances of equity and debt securities. Cash and cash equivalents were $8.4 million as of March 31, 2007 and $3.3 million as of December 31, 2006. Marketable securities were $2.0 million as of March 31, 2007 and as of December 31, 2006. We had working capital of $9.8 million as of March 31, 2007 and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2006.
Net cash used in operations was $2.8 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in cash used in operations was due to an increase accounts receivable as a result of higher revenue and an increase in prepaid expenses as a result of prepaid financing costs partially offset by a decrease in net loss, a decrease in non-cash stock option expense and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was $(100,000) and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Investing activity for the three months ended March 31, 2007 consisted of capital expenditures, including $67,000 of capitalized research and development for web site development. We expect capital expenditure to continue at the same level. Investing activity for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $3.0 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.0 million and $177,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we raised gross proceeds of $8.0 million from the issuance of senior secured convertible notes, $4,000 from the exercise of stock options and $4,000 from the exercise of warrants.
Management believes, based upon projected operating needs, that our working capital is sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(SFAS 159), which creates an alternative measurement method for certain financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 permits fair value to be used for both the initial and subsequent measurements on a contract-by-contract election, with changes in fair value to be recognized in earnings as those changes occur. This election is referred to as the “fair value option.” SFAS 159 also requires additional disclosures to compensate for the lack of comparability that will arise from the use of the fair value option. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year, provided the company has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our financial position and results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risk relating to interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate changes relates to our marketable securities. We invest our excess cash in debt instruments of the United States government.
Investments in fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 1.00% (100 basis-point) increase in interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair values of our marketable securities of approximately $2.4 million and $3.2 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and that our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Report. Based upon the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in reaching a level of reasonable assurance in achieving our desired control objectives.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
