LIVEWORLD, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We prepared the unaudited condensed financial statements following the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. The unaudited condensed
interim financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state our
financial position, results from operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented
and to make such information presented not misleading. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to SEC
rules and regulations; nevertheless, we believe that the disclosures herein are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. Operating results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2007. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 was derived from
the audited financial statements as of that date. These condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006
contained in Amendment No. 2 to our Form 10-SB filed with the SEC on July 13, 2007.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 157 (FAS 157), Fair Value Measurements,
which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures regarding fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting
pronouncements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier
adoption is permitted, provided we have not yet issued financial statements, including for
interim periods, for that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of FAS 157, but do
not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to have a material impact on our financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (FAS 159), The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items
for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in
earnings. FAS 159 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of
adopting FAS 159.
In
July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in
the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including
a decision on whether or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The provisions of FIN 48
are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax
positions that meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be
recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of
applying the provisions of FIN 48 is reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings. FIN 48 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006; therefore,
we have adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. We expect the adoption of this
accounting standard will increase the level of disclosure that we provide regarding
our tax positions. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a
material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including it Emerging Issues
Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) and the SEC did not
or are nor believed by management to have a material impact on our present or future financial
statements.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenues We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, when the following criteria have been met:
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable, no obligations
remain, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.
We have certain contracts which are multiple element arrangements and provide for several
deliverables to the customer that may include service development, community set-up, on-line
community hosting, on-line community management, moderation services, and consulting.
Accordingly, these contracts are accounted for in accordance with EITF No. 00-21, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. EITF No. 00-21 requires that we assess whether the
different elements qualify for separate accounting. Because we do not
6
believe that service development and community set-up activities have value to the customer
on a standalone basis, this element does not qualify for separate accounting. Accordingly, fees
received from service development and set-up activities are combined with the amounts allocable
to the relevant undelivered item(s) within the contract. All other elements qualify for separate
accounting and have objective and reliable evidence of fair value.
Revenues from service development and community set-up activities are deferred and are
recognized ratably over the related service portion of the contract. Revenues from on-line
community hosting, on-line community management, moderation services, and consulting are
recognized as the services are provided.
Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue is the amount associated with the initial service
development and set-up of the community for our clients. These service development and set-up
revenues are paid upfront but recognized ratably as the operational service contract is
recognized.
Earnings
Per Share Basic income or loss per share is computed using the net income or
loss and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
income per share is computed using the net income and the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive
common shares include, for some or all of the periods presented, outstanding stock options and
warrants. The computation of diluted income per share does not assume conversion or exercise of
securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. The dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method. In the
period ended June 30, 2006, there were 21,636,827 outstanding options to purchase shares of our
common stock; in the period ended June 30, 2007, there were 23,624,277 outstanding options and
warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The outstanding
options of 21,636,827 for the period ended June 30, 2006 and the
options and warrants of 23,624,277 for the period ended June 30,
2007 were excluded from the determination of diluted net
loss per share for both the six and three month period ended
June 30, 2006 and 2007 as their effect was
anti-dilutive, or immaterial.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for
estimated losses that may arise if any of its customers are unable to make required payments.
Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience,
customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payments terms when making estimates of the
uncollectibility of our accounts receivable balances. If we determine that the financial
conditions of any of its customers deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general
economic issues, an increase in the allowance will be made. Accounts receivable are written off
when all collection attempts have failed.
4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123(R) (FAS No. 123(R)), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123.
SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB 25, Accounting for Compensation Arrangements and amends SFAS
No. 95, Statement of Cash Flow. SFAS No. 123(R) generally requires share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options and other equity awards, to be recognized
in the statement of operations based on their fair values. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) requires
the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a
financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as prescribed under previous
accounting rules. Our financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2007 reflect
the impact of adopting FAS 123(R).
Determining Fair Value
Valuation Method We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model and a single option award approach.
Expected Term The expected term represents the period our stock-based awards are expected
to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience with similar awards, giving
consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and
expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of its
stock-based awards.
Expected Volatility A volatility of 100% was used as an estimate of the expected future
volatility of our stock price. Because trading of the stock is so thin, calculating the
volatility based on daily market trades was not considered to be representative of future price
movements when the stock is listed. We looked at the volatility of other companies which we
judge to be similar based on industry. These companies had volatility ranging from 89 to 135. A
factor of 1.0 was chosen based on historical data and on the similar companies.
Risk-Free Interest Rate The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation
method is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury securities with an
equivalent remaining term.
Expected Dividend No dividends are expected to be paid.
7
Estimated Forfeitures When estimating forfeitures, we consider voluntary termination
behavior as well as analysis of actual option forfeitures.
In
the period ended June 30, 2007 we issued a total of 362,500 options with an approximate
value of $148,000 for the option grants, and total expense for the period was approximately
$16,000. For additional information see Part II Item 2.
We estimated the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model, by using the following assumptions for the options granted for the period ended June 30,
2007:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the
exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock for the options
that were in-the-money as of June 30, 2007. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and
2007, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under our stock option plans was $1,500
and $27,000, respectively, determined as of the date of option exercise.
The 1996 Stock Option Plan (1996 Plan) provides for stock options to be granted to
employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors. Prior to 2004, options were
generally granted at an exercise price which approximates eighty-five percent (85%) to one
hundred percent (100%) of the estimated fair market value per share at the date of grant, as
determined by our Board of Directors. Since 2004, options have generally been granted at one
hundred percent (100%) of their estimated fair market value per share at the date of grant, as
determined by our Board of Directors. All options issued under the 1996 Plan and the 2007 Stock
Option Plan (2007 Plan) have a term of ten (10) years, and generally have a vesting schedule
such that they vest ratably over four (4) years, twenty-five percent (25%) one (1) year after
the grant date and the remainder at a rate of 1/36 per month thereafter. As of December 31,
2005, all outstanding stock options were exercisable. The 1996 Plan expired in October of 2006
and was replaced by our 2007 Plan. Under the 2007 Plan, the number of shares authorized for
grant is 10,696,768. As of June 30, 2007 there were a total of
21,624,277 outstanding options
under the 1996 Plan and the 2007 Plan. As of June 30, 2007, there was approximately $869,000 of
total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock based compensation
arrangements granted under the 1996 Plan and the 2007 Plan, as well as, stand alone option
grants. The cost is expected to be recognized over the next 4 years.

Overview
We are an interactive agency specializing in the provision of private label online social
networks and community services for companies, many of which are in the Fortune 1000, to engage
and build loyalty with, provide support to and gather intelligence from their customers. We
develop and operate online social networks and communities for our clients. These communities
are designed to build lasting relationships with and among our clients customers and other
constituencies.
We create value by enabling and managing dialogue based relationships on the Internet. This
in turn addresses the burgeoning market for Internet based relationship marketing, customer
support and business intelligence services. Although online communities have existed for over 20
years, only in the past few years has the genre come into its own, and we believe it will become
one of the dominant venues by which brands market to and manage relationships with their
customers. We provide not only the technology and infrastructure to create an online community
and the moderation services to oversee it, but also expertise to consult with our clients on the
best way to integrate their community with their brand. Our community management and moderation
services help to define the environment, provide leadership, and direct the content of the
community to reflect that of the clients focus. Our features and tools enable members of the
community to express themselves and interact with each other, and our client. Our reporting
tools, combined with our insight, reveal to the client what is happening and what it means,
factors critical to community management, as well as to our clients to help them achieve their
business objectives. Our services consist of the following products delivered on a complete
end-to-end or modular basis:
Professional Services: Professional Services include development and set-up of standard
systems; customization of the standard system and internationalization and localization.
Professional Services also include consulting and design services that provide expertise in
developing social networking/community brand definition, web site design focusing on community
architecture, and online community management.
Application Hosting: Application Hosting includes operating applications on our system
infrastructure on behalf of our clients. These applications include:
|
|
|
The LiveWorld Community Center, which is an integrated social
network/online community that includes expressive profiles (user name, photo,
interests, blog, user video, photo albums, guestbooks, and friends lists), message
forums, polls, community galleries, and community calendars. |
|
|
|
|
Standalone services such as blogs, user videos, message forums, groups, chats and
live events (interactive webcasts). |
9
Community Management Services: Community Management Services include creative and client
management services to help design, organize, manage, oversee and evolve the feature, content,
and user participation aspects of an online community.
Moderation Services: Moderation Services include standard policing, topical and editorial
moderation. Moderators are trained personnel that read and view user content for adherence to
web site guidelines, and take appropriate action when content violates those guidelines. Such
action might include permitting, hiding (or deleting), or escalating such content to a
supervisor. Moderation can also involve trained personnel leading topical discussions, or
selecting or editing site content for featured display.
Reporting Services: Reporting Services provide clients with metrics and analysis of the
online community.
Backlog
We maintain a positive outlook for 2007, and our current backlog for the remainder of the fiscal
year is approximately $4.8 million.

Six and Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2007
Total Revenues
Our revenues increased from approximately $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30,
2006 to $5.1million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, representing an increase of 10%
period-over-period. Revenues increased primarily as a result of increased sales of our
professional services and application hosting offerings to new clients. We have focused on
developing new client relationships and marketing our Community Center and its services to
these clients. Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007 for non-AOL LLC clients
increased 60%, which was offset in part by the decrease in AOL LLC (AOL US) revenues which
dropped 54% for the same period. AOL US represented approximately $2.0 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2006 and $900,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007.
New clients in the six months ended June 30, 2007 that launched services included the
following:
|
|
|
AOL Europe |
|
|
|
|
Digitas American Express |
|
|
|
|
MindShare |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Hillary Clinton Presidential
Campaign |
|
|
|
|
Mattel |
|
|
|
|
Wildfire Glaxo-Smith Klein |
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, revenues from AOL US comprised approximately 44%
of our total revenues and eBay Inc. (eBay) accounted for approximately 32% of our total
revenues. Combined these two clients account for 76% of the total revenues while all other
clients represented 24% of our total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues
from AOL US comprised approximately 18% of our total revenues and eBay accounted for
approximately 32% of our total revenues. Combined these two clients account for 50% of the
total revenues while all other clients represented 50% of our total revenues.
Our revenues increased from approximately $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006
to $2.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 representing an increase of 17%
period-over-period. The growth of our revenues was driven by the increase in non AOL US revenues
which grew 66% period-over-period, or approximately $879,000 from $1.3 million to $2.2 million,
which was offset in part by the decrease in AOL US revenues which dropped 66% period-over-period.
AOL US was approximately $790,000, or 37% of total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2006
and reduced to approximately $270,000, or 11% of total revenues in the three months ended June 30,
2007. We expect our total revenues from AOL US to decline in both absolute dollars and as a
percentage of revenues for fiscal 2007 and 2008 as a result of changes in AOL USs business, which
has reduced the volume of services AOL US intends to purchase from us. We anticipate that the loss
of this revenue will be offset in part or in full by additional revenues from new contracts and
projects with our existing clients or new clients, and will not have a material impact on our
operations.
In the three months ended June 30, 2007, revenues from AOL US accounted for approximately 11%
and eBay represented approximately 34% of our total revenues, while all other clients represented
55% of our total revenues for the period.
No
client other than eBay and AOL US represented more than 9% of our total revenues in a
given period.
Operating Expenses
Product Development Product development costs were approximately $752,000, or 16% of total
revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006, and $1.3 million, or 25% of total revenues in the
six months ended June 30, 2007, representing an increase of 67%. In the three months ended June
30, 2006, product development costs were approximately $412,000, or 19% of total revenues, and
$660,000, or 27% of total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2007, which represented an
increase of 60% period-over-period.
The period-over-period spending increases are related to our continued development efforts and
improvements to our product offerings. The majority of these costs were personnel related,
including salary costs, as we have hired employees in connection with the ongoing development and
enhancement of our products and services. We are committed to our product development efforts and
expect product development costs will continue to increase in future periods. Such efforts may not
result in additional new products and any new products may not generate sufficient revenues, if
any, to offset the cost.
Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing costs were approximately $912,000, or 20% of total
revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006, and $1.2 million, or 24% of total revenues in the
six months ended June 30, 2007, representing an increase of 31%. In the three months ended June
30, 2006, sales and marketing costs were approximately $393,000, or 18% of total revenues, and
$605,000, or 24% of total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2007, which represented an
increase of 54% period-over-period.
The substantial majority of these costs are associated with our ongoing community management
services, which are the costs associated with the servicing of existing clients, as opposed to
those costs derived from new business development. Expenses in sales activity and marketing
activities to attract new clients are minimal. We expect sales and marketing costs to increase as
we further develop our sales efforts of private label online social network and community services
to new clients. In addition, if our product development efforts are successful and new products or
services are created, we may incur increased sales and marketing expense to promote these products
or services to new and existing clients.
General and Administrative - General and administrative costs were approximately $1.1 million,
or 25% of total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006, and $1.8 million, or 36% of total
revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007, representing an increase of 59%. In the three
months ended June 30, 2006, general and administrative costs were approximately $636,000, or 30% of
total revenues, and $906,000, or 36% of total revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2007,
which represented an increase of 42% period-over-period.
The increase was primarily a result of additional costs associated with new hires and salary
increases, depreciation expenses associated with infrastructure expansion, and increased legal and
audit fees. We expect in the near future for the general and administrative expenses to increase in
absolute dollar terms. We anticipate an increase in general and administrative expenses as a result
of the addition of new personnel
11
in administrative departments, and the legal and accounting fees to prepare the quarterly and
annual reports required to be filed with the SEC. Additionally, we believe that meeting the
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will add additional overhead expenses and result in
increases in our general and administrative expense in terms of both absolute dollars and as a
percentage of total revenues, resulting in reduced earnings in future periods.
12
Stock
Based Compensation Stock based compensation costs were approximately $15,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 2006, and $143,000, or 3% of total revenues in the six months ended June
30, 2007, representing an increase of 853%. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, stock based
compensation costs were approximately $14,000, or 1% of total revenues, and 76,000, or 3% of total
revenues in the three months ended June 30, 2007, which represented an increase of 443%
period-over-period.
As we issued new options the resulting expense has grown over time to its current level. In
June 2007, our stockholders approved a new stock plan providing 10,696,768 shares issuable to
employees, independent contractors, officers, and directors. We plan to continue offering stock
options to our employees priced at the fair market price on the grant date. In December 2004, the
FASB issued FAS 123(R) to account for stock-based compensation this is
expected to increase our operating expenses and consequently reduce earnings in future periods.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Our total assets were approximately $6.7 million at December 31, 2006, and $5.9 million at
June 30, 2007. This represented a decrease of approximately $750,000 or 11% of total assets. Our
cash decreased by approximately $97,000 to $3.1 million at June 30, 2007 from $3.2 million at
December 31, 2006. This decrease is a result of our continued personnel expansion over the past
six months. Additionally, the reduction in accounts receivable from approximately $1.2 million at
December 31, 2006 to $777,000 at June 30, 2007 was a significant reason for the reduction in our
total assets. This represented a decrease of approximately $445,000 or 36% period to period and
was as a result of the reduction in our Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).
The DSO for the period ended
December 31, 2006 was 45 days, and for the period ended June 30, 2007 the DSO was 28 days, or a
reduction of our DSO of approximately 38% period to period. We do not anticipate maintaining our
DSO at this level in the future as we would expect to see our accounts receivable levels increase
and result DSO in the range of 35 to 45 days. Our property and equipment also decreased
approximately $123,000 to $987,000 at June 30, 2007 from $1.1 million at December 31,
2006. We anticipate this reduction to reverse in the second half of 2007 as we anticipate
expanding our datacenter capabilities to support our existing and anticipated new client
requirements. We expect to spend approximately $150,000 in capital for this expansion project, but
this project is subject to ongoing review based on market conditions.

At December 31, 2006 our current liabilities were approximately $1.4 million and $1.7 million
for June 30, 2007. This represents an increase of approximately $349,000 or 25% period-to-period.
This increase was due primarily to the increase in accounts payable from approximately $343,000 for
the period ended December 31, 2006 to $551,000 for the period ended June 30, 2007, or an increase
of $208,000. Additionally, we saw the deferred revenue increase from approximately $527,000 for
the period ended December 31, 2006 to approximately $577,000 for the period ended June 30, 2007, or
an increase of $50,000.
Our net cash provided by operating activities decreased approximately $410,000 to $63,000 in
the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $473,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our
primary use of cash is operating costs related to the delivery of the private label online social
network and community services. We anticipate hiring additional staff to develop additional sales
channels, to support the delivery of services to clients, and maintain our general and
administrative needs. These costs included but are not limited to salaries, payroll taxes,
benefits, related expenditures and professional fees. Our net cash provided by operating
activities differ materially from the loss from operations of approximately $70,000 in the six
months ended June 30, 2006, and $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The differences
are due primarily to stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, and various changes in
our operating assets and liabilities. We anticipate that we will continue to issue stock options to
our employees, which we anticipate will continue to have material impacts on our earnings.
Net cash used by investing activities decreased approximately $351,000 to $182,000 in the six
months ended June 30, 2007 from $533,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2006. We anticipate
increasing our investment in hardware and related equipment an additional $100,000 as a result of
our expansion of our datacenter.
We believe that the combination of cash balances, cash flow from operations, and available
credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy cash needs for the current level of operations and
planned operations for the remainder of 2007.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(a) 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
(the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us
in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC 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 our disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and
procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable
assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures
also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that,
as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material
information relating to us is made known to them by others within that entity, particularly during
the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB was being prepared.
(b) Changes in internal controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the
evaluation described in Item 3(a) above that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
