SPORTSLINE.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts in thousands except share and per share data)
(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
SportsLine.com, Inc. (“SportsLine.com” or the “Company”) publishes one of the most comprehensive collections of multimedia sports news and information available on the Internet and offers consumers a broad assortment of merchandise and subscription and premium services, including fantasy leagues and contests. The Company’s flagship Internet sports service (http://cbs.sportsline.com) was renamed CBS SportsLine.com in March 1997 as part of an exclusive promotional and content agreement with CBS Broadcasting Inc. (“CBS”). The Company has strategic relationships with CBS, Westwood One, the National Football League (the “NFL”), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (the “NCAA”) and the PGA TOUR. The Company distributes a broad range of up-to-date news, scores, player and team statistics and standings, photos and audio and video clips obtained from CBS and other leading sports news organizations; produces and offers fantasy league products, contests and other games; and produces and distributes entertaining, interactive and original programming such as editorials and analyses from its in-house staff and freelance journalists.
On February 26, 2003 the Company announced its intention to dispose of its gaming operations, consisting of VegasInsider.com and Las Vegas Sports Consultants. On June 23, 2003 the Company completed the sale of its VegasInsider.com subsidiary to Sports Information Ltd., a United Kingdom company. The operating results of VegasInsider.com through the date of sale have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities of VegasInsider.com as of December 31, 2002 are reflected as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The operating results of Las Vegas Sports Consultants are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities of Las Vegas Sports Consultants operations are reflected as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. On October 29, 2003, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of Las Vegas Sports Consultants, subject to a number of closing conditions, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Although as of the filing of this report management expects to complete the disposition by year-end, there is no assurance that this will occur.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent period or the full year ending December 31, 2003. Historically, the first and fourth quarters of each year have been the strongest for the Company due to the timing of major sporting events and sports seasons, such as the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship and the National Football League season. In addition, the effect of such seasonal fluctuations could be enhanced or offset by revenue associated with major sports events, such as the Olympics and the Ryder Cup, which do not occur every year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.
(2) RESTATEMENT:
Following the recommendation of management and the concurrence of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Company made a determination to restate its previously filed financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, June 30, 2002 and 2003 and September 30, 2002. All of the information contained in this report for the foregoing periods, as applicable, reflects such restatement. The restatements are being made primarily to correct an error in the way the Company had previously accounted for employee stock option grants and certain other grants of equity instruments and to make other adjustments which were identified by the Company’s current auditors during the course of their re-audit of 2001. The restated transactions relating to the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2002 that the Company believes are the more significant are described in detail below and have been grouped under headings for convenience only:

| • | The Company historically has accounted for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method of accounting as outlined in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Accordingly no compensation expense was recorded for stock option grants pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25 because the Company believed it had granted the stock options to its employees with an exercise price equal to the market price on the measurement date of each grant. The Company has since determined that it made an error in determining the measurement dates of employee stock option grants, which had an effect on the intrinsic value of such grants. The Company has recorded expense related to those grants of $906 and $2,250 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. |
Revenue
| • | Revenue has been increased by $570 in the restated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as a result of the reversal of credits given during 2002 to certain advertising clients relating to revenue recognized during 2001 and the deferral of certain revenue until 2002 which had previously been recognized during 2001. No adjustment was made for the three months ended September 30, 2002. |
Expenses
| • | During 2001, the Company over-accrued for certain tax, insurance, bad debt and cost of revenue expenses and under-accrued for certain tax and other miscellaneous expenses. The net effect of these adjustments was $546, resulting in a decrease in general and administrative expense of $501 and a decrease in cost of revenue of $45 in 2001. General and administrative expense and cost of revenue were increased by corresponding amounts in the restated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. No adjustment was made for the three months ended September 30, 2002. |
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding
| • | The number of weighted average shares outstanding has been adjusted to exclude shares of restricted stock that had not yet vested and remain subject to forfeiture. |

(amounts in thousands except share and per share data) —(Continued)
(3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Per Share Amounts
Earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion of all of the Company’s convertible subordinated notes (“Convertible Subordinated Notes”) (using the if-converted method) and shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). There were 256,091 shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes at September 30, 2003 and there were 5,104,930 options and warrants outstanding in the aggregate at September 30, 2003 that could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future. Such shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes and upon exercise of the options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for all periods presented because to do so would have been antidilutive.
Revenue by Type
Revenue by type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:
| | Three Months Ended September 30,
| | Nine Months Ended September 30,

Barter transactions, in which the Company received advertising or other services or goods in exchange for content or advertising on its Web sites, accounted for 0% and approximately 5% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Barter transactions accounted for 0% and approximately 12% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Barter transactions are recorded based upon, and to the extent of, similar recent cash transactions of the Company pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 99-17,Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions.
Restructuring Charge
In April 2001, the Company began implementing several cost-saving initiatives, which continued into 2002. Cost reductions were accomplished through a variety of steps, most significantly in the areas of discretionary marketing and a substantial reduction in the Company’s workforce. Severance and rent payments relating to this cost restructuring plan were approximately $18 and $26 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and were approximately $55 and $114 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, with a remaining accrual balance at September 30, 2003 of $6.
In April 2002, the Company announced the resignation of its chief technology officer and the expansion of responsibilities of its president of product development. As part of this change in personnel, the Company further integrated its fantasy sports operations into its other operations and technology departments. In August 2002, the Company announced the resignation of its president of corporate and business development and integrated its business development and legal affairs departments into the sales and finance departments, respectively. As a result of these resignations and the reorganization, the Company eliminated approximately twenty-seven redundant positions.

(3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:—(Continued)
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is comprised of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to amounts that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net loss because these transactions or events were attributed to changes from non-owner sources. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 was a gain of $7 and a gain of $72, respectively, and was comprised of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company’s comprehensive loss was $12,137 and $35,192, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company’s comprehensive loss was equal to the Company’s net loss.
Stock-Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation allows either adoption of a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options and similar equity instruments or continuation of the measurement of compensation cost relating to such plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method.
Pro forma information is required by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the fair value method. The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

(3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:—(Continued)
The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002:
| | Three Months Ended September 30,

Weighted average fair value per option | | $ | 1.15 | | | $ | 0.69 | | | $ | 1.24 | | | $ | 1.61 | |
Restricted stock is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock. Such value is recognized as an expense ratably over the corresponding vesting period. Stock based compensation associated with the issuance of restricted stock was $273 and $555 during the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Stock based compensation associated with the issuance of restricted stock was $818 and $1,345 during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
(4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
On February 26, 2003, the Company announced its intention to sell its gaming information operations, consisting of VegasInsider.com and Las Vegas Sports Consultants. On June 23, 2003 the Company completed the sale of its VegasInsider.com subsidiary to Sports Information Ltd., a United Kingdom company. On October 29, 2003, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of Las Vegas Sports Consultants, subject to a number of closing conditions, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company expects to complete the disposition of Las Vegas Sports Consultants by the end of 2003, although there can be no assurance that this will occur.
VegasInsider.com generated revenue from advertising and the sale of premium subscription products while Las Vegas Sports Consultants generates revenue from sales of statistical content data. Advertising and subscription products revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable contract period while statistical data revenue is recognized on a monthly basis.
The results of VegasInsider.com and Las Vegas Sports Consultants have been shown separately as discontinued operations, and prior periods presented have been restated. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been classified separately in the September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 consolidated balance sheets.

(5) GOODWILL AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS:
The Company acquired Daedalus World Wide Corporation in December 1999. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase resulted in goodwill of $31,880. The Company recognized a goodwill write-down during the year ended December 31, 2001 of $17,000 related to the reduced estimate of the value of its investment in Daedalus World Wide Corporation. The Company’s assessment of its goodwill impairment was based on historical operations, undiscounted future cash flows and the market values of similar entities. The Company performed the annual impairment test required under SFAS No. 142 to test impairment as of October 1, 2002. As a result, the Company found no further impairment of its goodwill. At September 30, 2003, the Company had goodwill of $16,194 recorded for Daedalus World Wide Corporation.
In April 2000, the Company, through its then wholly owned subsidiary VegasInsider.com, Inc., purchased the DBC Sports division of Data Broadcasting Corporation (“DBC Sports”). The purchase resulted in goodwill of $12,323. In 2001, the Company recorded a goodwill write-down of $4,600, to reflect a reduction in the estimated value of its investment in DBC Sports. The assessment of goodwill was based on historical operating results, undiscounted future cash flows and the market values of similar entities. The Company performed the annual impairment test required under SFAS No. 142 to test impairment as of October 1, 2002. As a result, the Company recorded an additional goodwill write-down of $2,650 to adjust the value of its investment in DBC Sports to its estimated fair value. At December 31, 2002, the Company had goodwill of $2,017 recorded for DBC Sports, which is included in assets held for sale at such date.
In January 2001, the Company acquired, at a cost of $6,000, certain assets of MVP.com, Inc. (“MVP”), which had ceased business operations, including the domain names, trademarks and certain other assets associated with the Web sites mvp.com, planetoutdoors.com, igogolf.com, golfclubtrader.com and tennisdirect.com. The cost of these assets was being amortized using the straight-line method over five years. The Company recorded a write-down in the third quarter 2003 of the remaining carrying value of such assets, totaling $2,800, to reflect a reduction in the estimated value of the e-commerce assets it acquired from MVP.com.
(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
CBS. In February 1999, the Company amended and extended its agreement with CBS. The agreement provides that the Company shall issue to CBS a number of shares of its common stock having a fair market value of $20,000 each year for five years commencing on January 1, 2002, based on the average of the closing prices of the common stock on the Nasdaq National Market for each five day period ending on the day prior to the applicable issue dates. Pursuant to this agreement, in January 2002 the Company issued 6,882,312 shares of common stock valued at $20,000 to CBS. On March 5, 2003, the CBS agreement was amended to modify the annual schedule of stock issuances to CBS as follows:
April 2003 Payment. On April 1, 2003, SportsLine issued to CBS 5,454,428 shares of common stock valued at $5,399, that resulted in CBS and its affiliates’ aggregate beneficial ownership interest in SportsLine’s outstanding common stock increasing to 39.9%. The remainder of the Company’s 2003 obligation of approximately $14,601 will be deferred until July 1, 2004.
July 2004 Payment.On July 1, 2004, SportsLine is obligated to issue to CBS the lesser of (1) a number of shares of common stock having a fair market value on July 1, 2004 equal to (x) $20,000 plus (y) the deferred amount of $14,601; or (2) a number of shares of common stock that will result in CBS and its affiliates’ aggregate beneficial ownership interest in SportsLine’s outstanding common stock not exceeding 49.9%. If the number of shares of common stock that would result in CBS and its affiliates’ aggregate beneficial ownership interest in SportsLine’s outstanding common stock not exceeding 49.9% has a fair market value on July 1, 2004 less than the amount of SportsLine’s total obligation on July 1, 2004 (i.e., $20,000 plus the deferred portion of the April 2003 payment), then SportsLine must satisfy up to $5,000 of such obligation in cash. SportsLine has the option to satisfy any additional remaining obligation on July 1, 2004 in cash and/or stock at its option. If SportsLine elects to satisfy any portion of that remaining obligation, if any, in stock and the issuance of such stock would cause the ownership interest of CBS and its affiliates to exceed 49.9% on July 1, 2004, then CBS may elect to defer that portion of the issuance until October 1, 2005.

(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:—(Continued)
October 2005 and January 2007 Payments.On October 1, 2005, SportsLine will remain obligated to issue to CBS common stock with a fair market value equal to (x) $20,000 plus (y) the portion of the payment due in July 2004, if any, that CBS may have elected to defer. SportsLine remains obligated to issue common stock with a fair market value of $20,000 to CBS on January 1, 2007.
NFL.com.In July 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with the NFL, CBS and AOL (the “NFL Agreement”). The Company is responsible for a portion of the rights fee payments required to be made to the NFL under the NFL Agreement. Under the terms of the multi-year agreement, $8,050 has been paid as of September 30, 2003, and the Company is obligated to make additional payments totaling $16,000 as follows: $3,000 for the remainder of the third year ending July 2004; $6,000 for the fourth year ending July 2005; and $7,000 for the fifth year ending July 2006. In addition, the Company issued to the NFL 1,049,869 shares of the Company’s common stock in May 2003, valued at $1,333, and 350,000 shares in July 2001, valued at $633. The Company is obligated to make an additional payment in cash or stock, at the Company’s option, equal to $2,667 in 2004. The Company is amortizing its total cost of the rights fee to sales and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the five-year term of the NFL Agreement.
AOL. In July 2001, the Company extended its agreement with AOL (the “AOL Extension”). Under the terms of the multi-year promotional agreement, the Company paid AOL $1,000 in cash upon execution of the AOL Extension and in July 2002 issued 1,945,525 shares of common stock to AOL with a value equal to $2,000. The Company was obligated to make an additional payment in cash and/or stock, at the Company’s option, equal to $1,000 in 2003. In September 2003, the Company modified its relationship with AOL by terminating its existing agreement and entering into a new agreement. In connection with the termination of the existing agreement, AOL refunded to the Company approximately 1,700,000 shares of common stock in October 2003 which have been retired and cancelled. In addition, the Company was relieved from its obligation in 2003 to pay an additional $1,000 in cash and/or stock to AOL.
Contingencies
On January 28, 2003, SportsTicker Enterprises, L.P., (“SportsTicker”) a vendor of electronic sports data, filed a lawsuit against the Company in New York State Supreme Court, alleging that the Company improperly terminated its subscription agreement with SportsTicker. SportsTicker’s complaint seeks approximately $2,150 in damages. On March 24, 2003, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all claims on the ground that the Company’s termination was expressly authorized by the contract as a result of interruptions in SportsTicker’s service. On April 15, 2003, SportsTicker filed an opposition to the Company’s motion to dismiss and filed a motion for summary judgment in SportsTicker’s favor. The motions have not yet been decided. The Company believes the claim by SportsTicker is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this action.
In October 2003, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in several securities class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. These actions, which were filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the period May 15, 2001 to September 25, 2003, generally allege that, during the class period, the defendants made misstatements to the investing public about the Company’s financial condition and prospects. The complaints seek unspecified damages. The Company believes the plaintiffs’ claims lack merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuits.
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not expect that the outcome in any of these legal proceedings, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(7) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue 00-21,“Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, addressing how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (1) the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; (2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (3) delivery of any undelivered item is probable. Arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, with the amount allocated to the delivered item being limited to the amount that is not contingent on the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions. The final consensus is applicable to agreements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF 00-21 effective July 1, 2003 and, as a result, when the Company enters into advertising agreements with multiple products and services and is unable to determine the objective fair value of one or more elements, the Company generally recognizes the advertising revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) which requires an enterprise to assess whether consolidation of an entity is appropriate based upon its interests in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is an entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The initial determination of whether an entity is a VIE shall be made on the date at which an enterprise becomes involved with the entity. An enterprise shall consolidate a VIE if it has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the VIEs expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both. FIN 46 is effective immediately for new VIEs established or purchased subsequent to January 31, 2003. For VIEs entered into prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is effective for interim periods ending after December 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations with respect to consolidation of VIEs as there are no VIEs identified which require consolidation. FIN 46 further requires the disclosure of certain information related to VIEs in which the Company holds a significant variable interest.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.This statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, and to certain preexisting contracts. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 150 will now be required to be classified as a liability. This statement also requires enhanced disclosures regarding alternative methods of settling the instruments and the capital structure of entities. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward–looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, among others, competitive pressures, the growth rate of the Internet, constantly changing technology and market acceptance of the Company’s products and services. Investors are also directed to consider the other risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including those discussed under the caption “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2002. In addition to these risks, the Company’s business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by the outcome of the class action securities litigation described in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements, which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The following discussion also should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.
Restatement
As discussed in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1, the Company has restated its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, June 30, 2002 and 2003 and September 30, 2002. All applicable financial information presented in the following discussion and analysis regarding the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 has been restated to take into account the effects of the restatements described in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent Developments
On September 30, 2003 the Company modified its relationship with America Online, Inc. (“AOL”) by terminating its existing agreement with AOL and entering into a new agreement. Under the terms of the new agreement, the Company will no longer receive promotion from AOL, but will continue to provide certain programming services for the AOL Sports Channel for up to the next 13 months. In connection with the termination of the existing agreement, America Online refunded to the Company approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock which were retired and cancelled. In addition, the Company has been relieved from its obligation in 2003 to pay an additional $1,000,000 in cash and/or stock to AOL.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, restructuring costs, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:
| • | The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. |
21
| • | The Company reviews its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If the Company’s analysis indicates a possible impairment exists based on undiscounted future cash flows, it is required to then measure impairment based on the estimated fair value of the assets determined either by third party appraisal or projected discounted future cash flows. |
| • | Effective January 1, 2002, the Company is required at least annually to test for impairment of goodwill. Management believes its estimates and judgments have been reasonable in determining whether the Company’s goodwill has been impaired. If, however, there were a material change in the conditions or circumstances influencing fair value, the Company could be required to recognize an impairment charge. |
| • | Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation allows either adoption of a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options and similar equity instruments or continuation of the measurement of compensation cost relating to such plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value based method in accounting for employee stock-based compensation and complies with the pro-forma disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148. |
| • | Advertising and marketing services revenue encompasses advertising and sponsorship sales as well as the Company’s revenue from its direct marketing services and promotion of e-commerce Web sites such as mvp.com and the NFL.com shop. Revenue is primarily derived from the sale of advertising on the Company’s Web sites as well as the sale of advertising on Web sites operated by the Company. Advertising includes, among other forms, banner advertisements and sponsorships. Advertising and marketing services revenue is recognized in the period the advertisement is displayed or services rendered, provided that no significant Company obligations remain and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” when the Company enters into advertising agreements with multiple products and services the Company evaluates whether it has objective fair value evidence for each element of the agreement. If the Company does, then it accounts for each element of the agreement independently as it is being delivered based on the relevant revenue recognition policies. If the Company is unable to determine objective fair value of one or more elements of the agreement, the Company generally recognizes the advertising revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. |
Results of Operations
Revenue
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $14,032,000 compared to $13,369,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $34,886,000 compared to $36,230,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Advertising and marketing services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $10,011,000 compared to $10,150,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Advertising and marketing services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $28,806,000 compared to $31,361,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Advertising and marketing services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 represented 71% and 76%, respectively, of total revenue. Advertising and marketing services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 represented 83% and 87%, respectively, of total revenue. The decrease in advertising and marketing services revenue was primarily due to a decrease in barter advertising revenue, resulting from management’s decision to limit barter transactions. While the Company may enter into barter arrangements from
22
time to time, the Company does not expect to recognize barter advertising revenue, nor the offsetting marketing expense, in future periods. Excluding barter revenue from the prior year, advertising and marketing services revenue increased 5% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This increase was due principally to increased revenue generated from advertising and sponsorship revenue related to NFL.com and fantasy football websites.
Subscription and premium products revenue increased by $802,000 and $1,211,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002. The increase in subscription and premium products revenue in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 was due primarily to an increase in fantasy football revenue. Fantasy football subscription billings in 2003 grew to approximately $12,000,000 from $8,800,000 generated in 2002. More than 80,000 paid leagues, consisting of approximately 800,000 teams, were sold from all the Company’s fantasy football products this year, an increase of approximately 25% over total paid leagues in 2002. The average price per unit for the league management service increased to approximately $133 in 2003, representing an increase of 6% over the average price in 2002. The increase in subscription and premium products revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 also reflects an increase in fantasy revenue from baseball, basketball and hockey and additional revenue generated from the creation of games and contests for America Online (“AOL”). Increases in subscription and premium products revenue during the current periods were partially offset by a decrease in revenue received from the loyalty program “SportsLine Rewards.” This program was discontinued as of April 3, 2003 and will no longer generate revenue in future periods.
As of September 30, 2003, the Company had deferred revenue of $13,619,000 relating to cash and receivables for which services had not yet been provided, including $9,204,000 relating to paid fantasy football products (which will be recorded as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2003).
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $5,587,000 and $6,178,000, respectively. Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $14,288,000 and $15,395,000, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased by $584,000 and $1,104,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The decrease in cost of revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 was due mainly to a change in the terms of one of the Company’s agreements for the production of a third party website which resulted in lower revenue share payments to the third party. Also, telecommunications expenses related to the support and delivery of the Company’s services decreased due to lower negotiated rates charged by carriers. These decreases were offset by higher revenue share payments to the NFL for fantasy, increased revenue share payments to CBS as a result of higher cash advertising, and higher expenses related to cash prizes and credit card fees due to increased fantasy participation. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased to 40% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from 46% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. In addition, as a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue decreased to 41% from 42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Operating Expenses
Amortization of equity issued to Viacom for promotion. Amortization of equity issued to Viacom for promotion expense consists of the amortization expense primarily for the Company’s agreement with CBS, a subsidiary of Viacom, and, to a lesser extent, the Company’s agreement with Westwood One, pursuant to which the Company issued equity instruments in exchange for advertising and promotion. For the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, amortization of equity issued to Viacom for promotion was $5,571,000 and $5,821,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, amortization of equity issued to Viacom for promotion was $16,714,000 and $18,464,000, respectively. The decrease in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002 is due to the Company’s extension of its agreement with Westwood One; the extended agreement did not require the issuance of additional equity or other financial consideration. As a percentage of revenue, amortization of equity issued to Viacom for promotion decreased to 40% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from 44% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and decreased to 48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 51% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
23
Sales and Marketing - Other. For the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, sales and marketing - other expense was $5,960,000 and $5,843,000, respectively. Sales and marketing – other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $16,345,000 and $20,388,000, respectively. The increase in sales and marketing - - other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002 was primarily due to increased advertising expense related to the promotion of the Company’s fantasy football products and increased sales commissions paid because of higher cash advertising. This increase was offset by the absence of barter expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, which resulted from the Company not recording any barter revenue for these periods. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was due primarily to the absence of barter expense during the 2003 period. Barter transactions accounted for 0% and approximately 11% of sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Barter transactions accounted for 0% and approximately 22% of sales and marketing – other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing - other expense decreased to 42% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from 44% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing - other expense decreased to 47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $5,152,000 and $6,259,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, general and administrative expense was $15,605,000 and $19,666,000, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expense in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 was attributable primarily to reduced payroll expense as a result of the Company’s cost restructuring program and decreased stock based compensation expense. Additionally, the Company had reduced bad debt expense during these periods. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 37% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from 47% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from 54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1,040,000 and $2,509,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense was $3,607,000 and $6,969,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 compared to 2002 was due primarily to the expiration of certain consulting agreements and the full amortization of the related equity issuances. Software and equipment depreciation was lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 due to fewer recent purchases and equipment becoming fully depreciated.
Write-down of e-commerce assets. The Company wrote-down its e-commerce assets by $2,800,000 in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 to reflect the reduction in the estimated value of the assets acquired from MVP.com in January 2001.
Restructuring Charge. The Company recognized a charge related to severance pay and termination of leases of $1,101,000 and $2,499,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The restructuring charge was related to the integration of the Company’s fantasy sports operations staff into its other operations and technology departments and the elimination of redundant positions.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $227,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $228,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Interest expense was $711,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $683,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Interest expense is related primarily to the Company’s outstanding Convertible Subordinated Notes.
Interest and Other Income, Net. Interest and other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $186,000 compared to $177,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Interest and other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $438,000 compared to $571,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Interest and Other Income, net is related primarily to interest earned on the Company’s invested cash balances.
24
Discontinued operations.The Company had a net loss from discontinued operations of $25,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to net income from discontinued operations of $1,384,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002.The Company had a net loss from discontinued operations of $234,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and net income from discontinued operations of $4,371,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The significant decreases in results from discontinued operations were attributable primarily to decreases in advertising revenue of the discontinued operations while operating expenses remained relatively constant. On February 26, 2003, the Company announced its intention to sell its gaming information operations, consisting of VegasInsider.com and Las Vegas Sports Consultants. On June 23, 2003, the Company completed the sale of its VegasInsider.com subsidiary to Sports Information Ltd., a United Kingdom company. On October 29, 2003, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of Las Vegas Sports Consultants, subject to a number of closing conditions, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Although as of the filing of this report management expects to complete the disposition by year-end, there is no assurance that this will occur.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2003, the Company’s primary source of liquidity consisted of $17,675,000 in cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2003, the Company also had $3,593,000 in current marketable securities, which had an average maturity of between three and twelve months,and $16,432,000 in noncurrent marketable securities, which had an average maturity of between twelve and eighteen months. The Company believes that its current cash and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, the Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses on a consolidated basis for at least the next twelve months. To the extent the Company requires additional funds to support its operations or the expansion of its business, the Company may sell additional equity, issue debt or convertible securities or obtain credit facilities through financial institutions. The sale of additional equity or convertible securities would likely result in additional dilution to the Company’s shareholders. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available to the Company in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company.
As of September 30, 2003, deferred advertising and content costs related to the CBS agreement totaled $7,428,000. These costs represent the value of common stock warrants issued in 1999 in consideration for the extension of the CBS agreement. Accrued liabilities totaled $7,504,000 as of September 30, 2003, a decrease of $1,625,000 from December 31, 2002, primarily due to decreases in accruals for costs related to the fantasy revenue share due the NFL, restructuring charges, and fees paid to content providers and players associations. Long-term liabilities at September 30, 2003 (excluding the outstanding Convertible Subordinated Notes) were $10,256,000 compared to $6,883,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $3,373,000, mainly due to the Company’s obligation to CBS pursuant to the amended CBS agreement.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $446,000 and net cash used in operating activities was $876,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The principal uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was to fund the Company’s net loss of $35,264,000, offset by adjustments to net loss not affecting cash flow of $25,638,000 and by changes in working capital of $10,072,000. The principal uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were to fund the Company’s net loss of $42,172,000, offset by adjustments to net loss not affecting cash flow of $28,951,000 and changes in working capital of $12,345,000. The adjustments to net loss to determine cash flow in both periods include depreciation and amortization, amortization of equity issued to Viacom for promotion, and other non-cash items.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $353,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and net cash used in investing activities was $2,223,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 consisted primarily of the net proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations, offset by purchases of property and equipment. Investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 consisted primarily of net purchases of marketable securities.
25
Net cash used in financing activities was $507,000 and $179,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.The Company repurchased approximately 475,000 shares of Common Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 at an average price of $1.10 per share. Through September 30, 2003 the cumulative number of shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company under its previously authorized stock repurchase program was approximately 500,000 at an average price of $1.07 per share.
Although the Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures, it anticipates purchasing up to approximately $0.5 million of property and equipment during the remainder of 2003, primarily computer equipment related to the growth of the business. The Company intends to continue to pursue acquisitions of or investments in businesses, services and technologies that are complementary to those of the Company.
Seasonality
The Company expects that its revenue will be higher leading up to and during major U.S. sports seasons and lower at other times of the year, particularly during the summer months. In addition, the effect of such seasonal fluctuations in revenue could be enhanced or offset by revenue associated with major sports events, such as the Olympics, the Ryder Cup and the World Cup, although such events do not occur every year. The Company believes that advertising sales in traditional media, such as television, generally are lower in the first and third calendar quarters of each year, and that advertising expenditures fluctuate significantly with economic cycles. Historically, the first and fourth quarters of each year have been the strongest for the Company due to the timing of major U.S. sporting events and sports seasons, such as the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship and the National Football League season. Furthermore, the Company has experienced growth in its revenue from fantasy football products affecting the third and fourth quarter. The foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue 00-21, addressing how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (1) the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; (2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (3) delivery of any undelivered item is probable. Arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, with the amount allocated to the delivered item being limited to the amount that is not contingent on the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions. The final consensus is applicable to agreements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 00-21 effective July 1, 2003 and, as a result, when the Company enters into advertising agreements with multiple products and services and is unable to determine the objective fair value of one or more elements, the Company generally recognizes the advertising revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) which requires an enterprise to assess whether consolidation of an entity is appropriate based upon its interests in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE is an entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The initial determination of whether an entity is a VIE shall be made on the date at which an enterprise becomes involved with the entity. An enterprise shall consolidate a VIE if it has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the VIEs expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both. FIN 46 is effective immediately for new VIEs established or purchased subsequent to January 31, 2003. For VIEs entered into prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is effective for interim periods ending after December 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations with respect to consolidation of VIEs as there are no VIEs identified which require consolidation. FIN 46 further requires the disclosure of certain information related to VIEs in which the Company holds a significant variable interest.
26
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.This statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, and to certain preexisting contracts. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 150 will now be required to be classified as a liability. This statement also requires enhanced disclosures regarding alternative methods of settling the instruments and the capital structure of entities. SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. The Company invests its excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, and in high-quality corporate issuers and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company protects and preserves its invested funds by limiting default, market and reinvestment risk.
Investments in both 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 in part to these factors, the Company’s future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or the Company may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities, which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. In connection with the re-audit of the Company’s financial statements for 2001, the Company’s independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, advised the Audit Committee that a material weakness was identified relative to the Company’s controls over the capture and proper recording of stock based compensation. As previously disclosed, management has concluded that it made an error in determining the measurement dates of employee stock option grants which caused the Company to fail to record the proper expense related to the option grants. Accordingly, the Company has modified its policy for granting employee stock options to prevent this error from occurring in future periods and has restated its previously filed financial statements to, among other things, correct the error. There have not been any other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 28, 2003, SportsTicker Enterprises, L.P. (“SportsTicker”), a vendor of electronic sports data, filed a lawsuit against the Company in New York State Supreme Court, alleging that the Company improperly terminated its subscription agreement with SportsTicker. SportsTicker’s complaint seeks approximately $2.15 million in damages. On March 24, 2003, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all claims on the ground that the Company’s termination was expressly authorized by the contract as a result of interruptions in SportsTicker’s
27
service. On April 15, 2003, SportsTicker filed an opposition to the Company’s motion to dismiss and filed a motion for summary judgment in SportsTicker’s favor. The motions have not yet been decided. The Company believes the claim by SportsTicker is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this action.
In October 2003, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in several securities class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. These actions, which were filed on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the period May 15, 2001 to September 25, 2003, generally allege that, during the class period, the defendants made misstatements to the investing public about the Company’s financial condition and prospects. The complaints seek unspecified damages. The Company believes the plaintiffs’ claims lack merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuits.
From time to time, SportsLine may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any other legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on SportsLine’s financial position or results of operations.
