LeadClick Media, Inc.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Nature of Business

 

LeadClick Media, Inc., located in San Francisco, California, is a privately held company founded in 1998 as a provider of performance-based, cost-per-action (“CPA”) internet marketing solutions. The combined financial statements of LeadClick Media, Inc. are comprised of the historical financial statements of LeadClick Media, Inc., eAdvertising, Inc. and Miramar Marketing LLC (collectively, the “Company”). The operations of these companies were combined under LeadClick Media, Inc. during 2005. The Company’s core focus has been in providing online lead generation services to the financial services, automotive and real estate verticals. The Company has three primary service offerings, sales lead generation, list management and affiliate network marketing. The Company’s customers include a wide variety of companies ranging from medium-sized businesses to Fortune 500 companies, including many leading service providers in the sub-prime and personal finance markets.

 

The Company derives the majority of its revenue from the CPA form of performance-based marketing. The Company receives a fee from its clients for each lead provided and, in turn, pays third party suppliers of customer leads a portion of the fee received from its clients.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company entered the automotive sector, providing consumers with free dealer quotes on new vehicles as well as generating auto loan leads for new and used vehicles. The Company sells these leads to automotive lead aggregation companies, who in turn sell leads to automotive dealerships, large dealer groups, automobile manufacturers, and auto lending groups.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim financial data as of September 30, 2005 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in this Form 8-K/A. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.


LeadClick Media, Inc.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)

 

Principles of Combination

 

The combined financial statements include the accounts of each operating entity. The entities operate under common ownership as a single business unit and their financial statements have been combined to provide a more meaningful presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of these entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the statements. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2005 and 2004, which includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers cash equivalents to be cash and all short-term investments that have an original maturity of 90 days or less, or if no stated maturity, can be liquidated in 90 days or less.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are due from companies in a broad range of industries located throughout the United States. Credit is extended based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally, collateral is not required.

 

The allowance for all probable uncollectible receivables is based on a combination of historical data, cash payment trends, specific customer issues, write-off trends, general economic conditions and other factors. These factors are continuously monitored by management to arrive at the estimate for the amount of accounts receivable that may be ultimately uncollectible. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance for doubtful accounts against amount due, to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. Management believes that the allowance at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is reasonably stated.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on data processing equipment, furniture and equipment, and vehicles has been computed using an accelerated deprecation method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Gains or losses on the disposition of property and equipment are computed on the difference between the net book value of the asset and its sale price and are credited or charged to income at time of disposition. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred and major improvements are capitalized.

 

Income taxes

 

Taxes are based on income for financial reporting purposes and include deferred taxes applicable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The tax provision for the Company has been calculated on a separate return basis. The Company’s income tax returns are filed on a separate company basis.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company periodically assesses whether there has been permanent impairment of its long-lived assets held and used by the Company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS No. 144 requires the Company to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company’s long-lived assets were not considered to be impaired.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances were deposited with financial institutions which management has determined to be high credit quality institutions. Accounts receivable represent credit granted to commercial customers for the purchase of leads and lead generation services. The percentage of revenue from the Company’s top customer has decreased from approximately 25% during 2004 to approximately 17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized by the company pursuant to its three primary product offerings, sales lead generation, eAdvertising affiliate network, and list management services. Revenue from the sale of leads is recognized at the time of delivery, as the Company has no ongoing obligation after delivery. Revenue via the eAdvertising network is recognized when transactions are completed as evidenced by qualifying actions by end users of the publishers and/or advertisers on the proprietary eAdvertising network. Revenue as a result of list management services is recognized when transactions are completed as evidenced by qualifying actions of end users. In most instances, the qualifying action that completes the earnings process is the submission of an on-line form that generates a sales lead via the internet.

 

3. Subsequent Event

 

Acquisition of the Company

 

On November 7, 2005, LeadClick Holding Company, LLC (LeadClick Holding), a Delaware limited liability company which is owned 70% by First Advantage Corporation (“First Advantage”) and 30% by The First American Corporation, purchased 75% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company under the terms of a stock purchase agreement. In consideration for the purchase of the stock, LeadClick Holding paid the seller an aggregate purchase price of $150,000,000 in a combination of cash, notes and First Advantage Class A shares.

The Company’s customers include a wide variety of companies ranging from medium-sized businesses to Fortune 500 companies, including many leading service providers in the sub-prime and personal finance markets.

 

The Company derives the majority of its revenue from the CPA form of performance-based marketing. The Company receives a fee from its clients for each lead provided and, in turn, pays third party suppliers of customer leads a portion of the fee received from its clients.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company entered the automotive sector, providing consumers with free dealer quotes on new vehicles as well as generating auto loan leads for new and used vehicles. The Company sells these leads to automotive lead aggregation companies, who in turn sell leads to automotive dealerships, large dealer groups, automobile manufacturers, and auto lending groups.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Combination

 

The combined financial statements include the accounts of each operating entity. The entities operate under common ownership as a single business unit and their financial statements have been combined to provide a more meaningful presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of these entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the statements. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2004, which includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers cash equivalents to be cash and all short-term investments that have an original maturity of 90 days or less, or if no stated maturity, can be liquidated in 90 days or less.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are due from companies in a broad range of industries located throughout the United States. Credit is extended based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally, collateral is not required.

 

The allowance for all probable uncollectible receivables is based on a combination of historical data, cash payment trends, specific customer issues, write-off trends, general economic conditions and other factors. These factors are continuously monitored by management to arrive at the estimate for the amount of accounts receivable that may be ultimately uncollectible. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance for doubtful accounts against amount due, to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. Management believes that the allowance at December 31, 2004 is reasonably stated.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation on data processing equipment, furniture and equipment, and vehicles has been computed using an accelerated deprecation method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Gains or losses on the disposition of property and equipment are computed on the difference between the net book value of the asset and its sale price and are credited or charged to income at time of disposition. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred and major improvements are capitalized.

Income taxes

 

Taxes are based on income for financial reporting purposes and include deferred taxes applicable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The tax provision for the Company has been calculated on a separate return basis. The Company’s income tax returns are filed on a separate company basis.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company periodically assesses whether there has been permanent impairment of its long-lived assets held and used by the Company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS No. 144 requires the Company to review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. At December 31, 2004, the Company’s long-lived assets was not considered to be impaired.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances were deposited with financial institutions which management has determined to be high credit quality institutions. Accounts receivable represent credit granted to commercial customers for the purchase of leads and lead generation services. The Company’s top two customers during 2004 accounted for 37% of the Company’s combined revenues.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized by the Company pursuant to its three primary product offerings, sales lead generation, eAdvertising affiliate network, and list management services. Revenue from the sale of leads is recognized at the time of delivery, as the Company has no ongoing obligation after delivery. Revenue via the eAdvertising network is recognized when transactions are completed as evidenced by qualifying actions by end users of the publishers and/or advertisers on the proprietary eAdvertising network. Revenue as a result of list management services is recognized when transactions are completed as evidenced by qualifying actions of end users. In most instances, the qualifying action that completes the earnings process is the submission of an on-line form that generates a sales lead via the internet.
