(*) - Percent of total revenue.
Domestic local search revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $5.0 million, or 104.0%, compared to the same period in 2007. Domestic local search revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased $14.1 million, or 109.2%, compared to the same period in 2007. The increases in revenue were primarily due to increased monetization as our revenue per thousand visitors (RKV) increased to $278 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $168 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and increased to $253 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $157. The increase in RKV was a result of additional ad units per page, optimization of search results to improve page yields, greater revenue share received from our advertising partners and improved search engine marketing.
International local search revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008
increased $40,000, or 21.3%, compared to the same period in 2007. International
local search revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased
$228,000, or 72.8%, compared to the same period in 2007. The increases in
revenue were primarily due to an increase in revenue-generating click-throughs
from an increase in traffic to our uk.local.com web site.
National revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 decreased
$453,000, or 72.8%, compared to the same period in 2007. National revenue for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased $1.2 million, or 51.4%,
compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease in revenue was primarily due
to a decrease in revenue- generating click-throughs as we have transitioned away
from national search to focus our business efforts on local search.
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased
$4.6 million, or 81.6%, compared to the same period in 2007. Total revenue for

Search serving
Search serving expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased
$215,000, or 19.3%, compared to the same period in 2007. Search serving expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased $1.2 million, or 42.3%,
compared to the same period in 2007. The increases were primarily due to an
increase in payments to our private label partners associated with the business
we acquired from PremierGuide, Inc. We expect search serving expense to increase
slightly as a result of an increase in business with our private label partners.
Search serving expenses were 13.0% and 19.9% of total revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Search serving expenses
were 14.3% and 18.5% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008
increased $3.2 million, or 59.6%, compared to the same period in 2007. Sales and
marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased
$9.3 million, or 63.3%, compared to the same period in 2007. The increases were
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 and marketing efforts for our Local.com web site.
Sales and marketing expenses were 82.9% and 94.4% of total revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Sales and marketing
expenses were 83.6% and 94.3% of total revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2008 increased $128,000, or 11.2%, compared to the same period in 2007. General
and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
increased $459,000, or 12.6%, compared to the same period in 2007. The increase
was primarily due to an increase payroll and non-cash stock based compensation
expense. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase slightly due
to fees for LEC processing of our telesales orders.
General and administrative expenses were 12.5% and 20.3% of total revenue for
the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. General and
administrative expenses were 14.3% and 23.4% of total revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Research and development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008
increased $104,000, or 16.7%, compared to the same period in 2007. Research and
development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased
$487,000, or 26.0%, compared to the same period in 2007. The increases were
primarily due to a decrease in capitalized research and development expenses and
an increase in amortized web site development expense. We expect research and
development expenses to increase due to consulting fees for additional resources
to support our initiatives. During the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008, we capitalized an additional $130,000 for web site development and we
amortized $123,000 and $263,000 during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, respectively. During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007, we capitalized an additional $90,000 and $311,000,
respectively, for web site development and we amortized $49,000 and $134,000
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
Research and development expenses were 7.1% and 16.7% of total revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Research and
development expenses were 8.2% and 12.0% of total revenue for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Amortization of
intangibles expense was $798,000 and $796,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This includes the amortization of
developed technology and non-compete agreements associated with the Inspire
acquisition, the amortization of purchased technology associated with the
Atlocal asset purchase and the amortization of non-compete agreement.
Amortization of intangibles also includes the amortization of customer-related
intangibles and non-compete agreement associated with the PremierGuide
acquisition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Interest and other income (expense) was $72,000 and $(6.4 million) for the three
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase
of $6.5 million. Interest and other income (expense) was $290,000 and
$(7.2 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, representing an increase of $7.5 million. The increases were due
to higher interest income as a result of more cash to invest and the elimination
of interest expense related to the senior secured convertible notes which were
converted into equity in 2007.
Provision for income taxes
There was no provision for income taxes during the three months ended
September 30, 2008 or 2007. Provision for income taxes was $1,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. This amount represents
the minimum amounts required for state income taxes.

We have funded our business, to date, primarily from issuances of equity and
debt securities. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were
$12.9 million as of September 30, 2008 and $16.3 million as of December 31,
2007. We had working capital of $12.2 million as of September 30, 2008 and
$15.0 million as of December 31, 2007.
Net cash used in operations was $3.6 million and $6.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in cash
used in operations was due to a lower operating loss and an increase in accounts
payable partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable as a result of
higher revenue.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $1.7 million and
$(2.5 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Investing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
consisted of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $2.0 million, a
decrease in restricted cash of $30,000 and capital expenditures of $315,000.
Investing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included capital
expenditures of $495,000, a decrease in restricted cash of $41,000 and
$2.0 million related to the acquisition of PremierGuide, Inc.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $563,000 and $21.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, we raised gross proceeds of $397,000 from the
exercise of stock options, $188,000 from the exercise of warrants and $3,000
from swing-sale profits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we
raised gross proceeds of $8.0 million from the issuance of senior secured
convertible notes, $13.0 million from the issuance of common stock in a private
placement, $324,000 from the exercise of stock options, $1.3 million from the
exercise of warrants and $5,000 from swing-sale profits.
Management believes, based upon projected operating needs, that our working
capital is sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
Stock repurchase program
On October 8, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program
of up to $2 million dollars of our common stock. The share repurchase program
authorizes us to repurchase shares over the next 18 months, from time to time,
through open market or privately negotiated transactions. A Rule 10b5-1
repurchase plan will allow the company to purchase its shares at times when it
ordinarily would not be in the market because of self-imposed trading blackout
periods. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of the purchases
will be based on market conditions, share price and other factors. The stock
repurchase program does not require us to repurchase any specific dollar value
or number of shares and may be modified, extended or terminated by the Board of
Directors at any time.
Stockholder rights plan
On October 14, 2008, our Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan
(Rights Plan). Under the Rights Plan, a right to purchase 1/1000th of a share of
our Series A Participating Preferred Stock, at an exercise price of $10.00, will
be distributed for each share of common stock held of record as of the close of
business on October 22, 2008. The rights will automatically trade with our
underlying common stock and no separate preferred stock purchase rights
certificates will be distributed. The right to acquire preferred stock is not
immediately exercisable and will become exercisable only if a person or group
acquires 15 percent or more of our common stock or announces a tender offer, the
consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or group of 15
percent or more of the common stock. If any person becomes a 15 percent or more
stockholder of the Company, each right (subject to certain limitations) will
entitle its holder to purchase, at the rights' then-current exercise price, a
number of our common shares or of the acquirer having a market value at the time
of twice the right's per share exercise price. If the exercise price is not
adjusted, such holders would be able to purchase $20 worth of common stock for
$10.
The Board of Directors may redeem the rights for $0.01 per right at any time on
or before the fifth day following the acquisition by a person becoming a
15 percent stockholder. Unless the rights are redeemed, exchanged or terminated
earlier, they will expire on October 15, 2018.
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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As of September 30, 2008, we have no exposure to market risk relating to
interest rate changes or foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices,
equity prices, or other changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain 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) 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 was required to apply its judgment
in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and
principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management
and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of
its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of September 30, 2008. In making this assessment, our management
used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon
its assessment, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2008, our
internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended) during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
