NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LiveDeal, Inc. (formerly YP Corp.), a Nevada Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). The Company is an Internet-based provider of yellow page directories and online local classified ads on or through www.YP.com, www.YP.net, www.Yellow-Page.net, and www.livedeal.com. No material or information contained on these websites is a part of these notes or this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The footnote disclosures related to the interim financial information included herein are also unaudited. Such financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of September 30, 2007 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions have been used by management throughout the preparation of the consolidated financial statements including in conjunction with establishing allowances for customer refunds, non-paying customers, dilution and fees, analyzing the recoverability of the carrying amount of intangible assets, estimating forfeitures of restricted stock and evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

During fiscal 2007, the Company revisited its consolidated financial statement presentation. As such, it has determined it is preferable to make changes to certain classifications within its financial statements. The following changes were made to the Company’s statements of operations.

Dilution and charge backs have been reclassified from cost of services to a reduction in net revenues in the consolidated statement of operations.

Monitoring fees related to our LEC billing channel have been reclassified from general and administrative expenses to cost of services.

Depreciation and amortization expenses that were previously separately stated are now included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Litigation and related expenses that were previously included in other income and expense are now separately stated as a component of operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

These changes had no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity. The following tables set forth the impact of these restatements on the Company’s statement of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2006:

3.	PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements include the results of LiveDeal, Inc. and OnCall Subscriber Management Inc. from June 6, 2007 and July 10, 2007, their respective dates of acquisition. The following table provides pro forma results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2006 as if LiveDeal had been acquired as of the beginning of the period. The pro forma results include certain purchase accounting adjustments such as the estimated changes in amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, increased compensation expense resulting from the contractual obligation for Mr. Navar’s salary and the elimination of interest expense on borrowings that were satisfied through the acquisition. However, pro formal results do not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the integration of LiveDeal. Accordingly, such amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated or that may result in the future.

4.	TREASURY STOCK

On May 25, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated its pre-existing stock repurchase plan and replaced it with a new plan authorizing repurchases of up to $1,000,000 of common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company acquired 76,725 shares of its common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2007 at an aggregate cost of $293,832. Of the 76,725 shares acquired, 67,775 shares were retired prior to December 31, 2007. The Company retired an aggregate of 396,341 shares of treasury stock during the three months ended December 31, 2007.

5.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At December 31, 2007, future minimum annual payments under operating lease agreements and non-cancelable service contracts for fiscal years ending September 30 are as follows:

	Payments Due by Fiscal Year
	Total		2008		2009		2010		2011		2012		Thereafter
Operating lease commitments	$	3,002,419	$	693,917	$	858,310	$	567,594	$	465,194	$	338,819	$	78,585

Litigation

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. Management believes that the outcome of pending legal proceedings will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

6.	INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes based on the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which, among other things, requires that recognition of deferred income taxes be measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws in effect at the date of the financial statements. The Company records, among other items, deferred tax assets related to book-tax differences in the recognition of restricted stock awards to officers, directors, employees and consultants. During the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, a portion of our restricted stock awards had vested and, due to declines in our stock price from grant date to vest date, the tax effects of the vesting of these awards were less than the carrying value of our related deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company incurred an additional $2,000 and $23,000 of income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the write-off of these deferred tax assets.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont)

7.	NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Basic weighted average common shares outstanding do not include shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested, although such shares are included as outstanding shares in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable from restricted shares and convertible preferred stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding restricted shares is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Convertible preferred stock is reflected on an if-converted basis. Preferred stock dividends are subtracted from net income to determine the amount available to common stockholders.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2007			2006

Net income	$	326,092		$	485,198
Less: preferred stock dividends		(480	)		-
Income applicable to common stock	$	325,612		$	485,198


Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		6,230,395			4,552,826
Add incremental shares for:
Unvested restricted stock		193,612			117,098
Series E convertible preferred stock		971			6,196
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		6,424,978			4,676,120

Net income per share:
Basic	$	0.05		$	0.11
Diluted	$	0.05		$	0.10

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effects were antidilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2007		2006

Shares of non-vested restricted stock		54,493		82,900
		54,493		82,900

8.	CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances at major nationwide institutions in Arizona and Nevada. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.

Table of Contents

LIVEDEAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont)

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily trade accounts receivable. The trade accounts receivable are due primarily from business customers over widespread geographical locations within the LEC billing areas across the United States. The Company historically has experienced significant dilution and customer credits due to billing difficulties and uncollectible trade accounts receivable. The Company estimates and provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. The handling and processing of cash receipts pertaining to trade accounts receivable is maintained primarily by four third-party billing companies. The net receivable due from three of these billing service providers individually exceeded 10% and represented 33%, 20% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s total net accounts receivable (excluding non-specific reserves) at December 31, 2007. The net receivable due from such billing service providers represented 31%, 23% and 16%, respectively, of the Company’s total net accounts receivable at September 30, 2007.

9.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”) (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a return. Guidance is also provided on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Upon adoption, the Company did not identify any positions that required the recognition of any additional tax liabilities.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. The SAB requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 does not change the guidance in SAB 99, “Materiality”, when evaluating the materiality of misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting procedures and expands disclosures on fair value measurements. This statement applies under previously established valuation pronouncements and does not require the changing of any fair value measurements, though it may cause some valuation procedures to change. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value is established by the price that would be received to sell the item or the amount to be paid to transfer the liability of the asset as opposed to the price to be paid for the asset or received to transfer the liability. Further, it defines fair value as a market specific valuation as opposed to an entity specific valuation, though the statement does recognize that there may be instances when the low amount of market activity for a particular item or liability may challenge an entity’s ability to establish a market amount. In the instances that the item is restricted, this pronouncement states that the owner of the asset or liability should take into consideration what affects the restriction would have if viewed from the perspective of the buyer or assumer of the liability. This statement is effective for all assets valued in financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its financial position and result of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”), which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption allowed. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, that adopting this standard might have on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”) and No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are products of a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board. The revised standards continue the movement toward the greater use of fair values in financial reporting. SFAS No. 141(R) will significantly change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. These changes include the expensing of acquisition related costs and restructuring costs when incurred, the recognition of all assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests at fair value during a step-acquisition, and the recognition of contingent consideration as of the acquisition date if it is more likely than not to be incurred. SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (October 1, 2009 for the Company). SFAS No. 141(R) will be applied prospectively. SFAS No. 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS No. 160 shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of these pronouncements on its financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For a description of our significant accounting policies and an understanding of the significant factors that influenced our performance during the three months ended December 31, 2007, this “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (hereafter referred to as “MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes, appearing in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007.

Forward-Looking Statements

This portion of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, includes statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements are often characterized by the terms “may,” “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” or “anticipates,” and do not reflect historical facts. Specific forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to our (i) expectation that continued investment in online advertising to bring increased traffic to our websites will drive increased revenues and (iii) belief that our existing cash on hand will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs for the next twelve months.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 under Item 1A “Risk Factors”, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future.

In addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of operations, and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Executive Overview

This section presents a discussion of recent developments and summary information regarding our industry and operating trends only. For further information regarding the events summarized herein, you should read this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in its entirety.

We maintain a combined local online classifieds and Yellow Pages marketplace with millions of goods and services listed for sale, in nearly every city and zip code across the U.S. By combining the benefits of classifieds, business listings, mobile services, advertising/distribution networks and e-commerce into a single online solution, we offer businesses and consumers an affordable and effective solution for creating a web presence and marketing their products and services locally. Through our online properties YP.com and LiveDeal.com, we enable buyers and sellers to find and list business services, merchandise, real estate, automobiles, pets and more in their local communities. Using LiveDeal’s marketplace, consumers can search or browse for items in a particular city, state or zip code, or reach out on a national or global scope if they so choose.

Listing on NASDAQ Capital Market

On February 1, 2008, we began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Concurrent with this change, our ticker symbol was changed from LVDL.OB to LIVE.

Acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc.

On June 6, 2007, we completed the acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc. (“LiveDeal”). LiveDeal developed and operates an online local classifieds marketplace, www.livedeal.com, which lists millions of goods and services for sale in almost every city and zip code across the U.S. The technology acquired in the acquisition offers such classifieds functionality as fraud protection, identity protection, e-commerce, listing enhancements, photos, community-building, package pricing, premium stores, featured Yellow Page business listings and advanced local search capabilities.

The acquisition represents a major strategic event in our history and is expected to result in significant efficiencies as well as future growth opportunities. With the acquisition of LiveDeal, we are now able to supplement our telemarketing campaigns with online marketing efforts. Our online traffic acquisition strategy includes activities in e-mail marketing, search engine marketing (“SEM”) search engine optimization (“SEO”) partnerships with major online marketing companies, and the generation of word of mouth advertising. We anticipate continued investment in online advertising to bring increased traffic to our websites that should result in increased value to the local business advertising community thereby driving increased revenues.

We have consolidated the results of LiveDeal in our financial statements beginning June 6, 2007, the date of acquisition. The following table provides pro forma results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2006 as if LiveDeal had been acquired as of the beginning of the period. The pro forma results include certain purchase accounting adjustments such as the estimated changes in amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, increased compensation expense resulting from the contractual obligation for Mr. Navar’s salary and the elimination of interest expense on borrowings that were satisfied through the acquisition. However, pro formal results do not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the integration of LiveDeal. Accordingly, such amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated or that may result in the future.

Acquisition of OnCall Subscriber Management Inc.

On July 10, 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of OnCall Subscriber Management Inc. (a Manila, Philippines-based company), which OnCall purchased recently under option from 24 by 7 Contact Solutions, Inc. This acquisition allowed us to bring our entire telemarketing operations in-house through the addition of 170 Philippines-based employees to our workforce. We have consolidated the results of this entity in our financial statements beginning July 10, 2007, the date of acquisition.

Restatements

During fiscal 2007, we revisited our consolidated financial statement presentation. As such, we have determined that it is preferable to make changes to certain classifications within our financial statements. The following changes were made to our statements of operations:

Dilution and charge backs have been reclassified from cost of services to a reduction in net revenues in the consolidated statement of operations.

Monitoring fees related to our LEC billing channel have been reclassified from general and administrative expenses to cost of services.

Depreciation and amortization expenses that were previously separately stated are now included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Litigation and related expenses that were previously included in other income and expense are now separately stated as a component of operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

All prior periods have been restated to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for a summary of the impacts of these restatements.

Recent Operating Results

The following represents a summary of recent financial results (certain amounts have been restated to conform to the current period presentation as described in Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements):

		Q1 2008		Q4 2007		Q3 2007		Q2 2007		Q1 2007

Net Revenues	$	7,068,888	$	7,120,697	$	5,989,437	$	6,106,544	$	7,123,683

Gross margin	$	6,063,339	$	5,860,893	$	5,113,544	$	5,148,835	$	6,012,813

Operating expenses	$	5,580,857	$	4,956,356	$	4,537,182	$	4,043,109	$	5,272,758

Operating income	$	482,482	$	904,537	$	576,362	$	1,105,726	$	740,055

Net income	$	326,092	$	376,053	$	266,405	$	626,262	$	485,198

Net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were roughly flat when compared to the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2007. While our revenues were negatively impacted during 2007 as a result of the Attorneys’ General settlement, we have since stabilized our revenue base and are seeking new growth opportunities through our combined online and classified marketplace.

We experienced a decrease in our operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 as a reduction in cost of services expenses were more than offset by higher operating expenses as we invest to grow the business:

Cost of services decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily due to a non-recurring charge of approximately $377,000 to bad debt expense.

General and administrative expenses were approximately $400,000 higher in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 largely as the result of the reversal of approximately $431,000 of accrued bonuses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 which were not paid as pre-determined financial goals were not met in fiscal 2007; and

Table of Contents

Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately $200,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily due to increased telemarketing costs as we tested various marketing programs and increased telemarketing seats.

Results of Operations

Net Revenues

Three Months Ended December 31,
2007		2006		Change			Percent

$	7,068,888	$	7,123,683	$	(54,795	)		(1	)%

Net revenues slightly decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007 as we were precluded from billing wholesale accounts in certain LEC areas and adding additional accounts in other LEC areas as the LEC’s tightened their thresholds. While our net revenues were negatively affected in fiscal 2007 by the Attorneys’ General Settlement, increased telemarketing and online advertising efforts have returned our revenues to stable levels over the last two quarters.

Although we have concentrations of risk with our billing aggregators (as described in Note 8 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report) these aggregators bill via many underlying LECs, thereby reducing our risk associated with credit concentrations. However, there are a few LECs that service a significant number of our customers. To the extent that future changes in their billing practices cause a disruption in our ability to bill through these channels, our revenues could be adversely affected.

The majority of our IAP customers pay between $27.50 and $39.95 per month.

Included in net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were $662,648 of revenues stemming from our classified and online marketplace as a result of the acquisition of LiveDeal.

Cost of Services

Three Months Ended December 31,
2007		2006		Change			Percent

$	1,005,549	$	1,110,870	$	(105,321	)		(9	)%

Cost of services decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 due to cost reduction efforts and a reduction in LEC monitoring and Internet service fees. We have increased our LEC billings as a percent of net revenues from 54% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to 68% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. While LEC billings typically have higher costs than other billing channels, we have reduced our costs per customer by renegotiating vendor service contracts and improving our quality assurance procedures.

Gross Profit

Three Months Ended December 31,
2007		2006		Change		Percent

$	6,063,339	$	6,012,813	$	50,526		1	%

Gross profit slightly increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Gross margins were 85.8% and 84.4% of net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

Three Months Ended December 31,
2007		2006		Change		Percent

$	3,394,971	$	3,186,725	$	208,246		7	%

General and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily due to the following:

An increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $142,000 stemming from the effects of the LiveDeal acquisition which added $2.2 million of depreciable and amortizable long-lived and intangible assets;

An increase in compensation expense of approximately $55,000 stemming from the results of the LiveDeal acquisition, which added 13 additional employees, partially offset by corporate headcount reductions;

An increase in other general and administrative expenses of approximately $131,000 primarily due to increased facility, office and other corporate expenses associated with the LiveDeal acquisition; and partially offset by

A decrease in professional and consulting fees of approximately $113,000 as we incurred significant expenses in the first quarter of 2007 to develop our strategic direction following the effects of the Attorneys’ General settlement.

Our general and administrative expenses consist largely of fixed and semi-fixed expenses such as compensation, rent, and utilities. Therefore, we do not consider short-term trends of general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues to be meaningful indicators for evaluating operational performance.

The following table sets forth our recent operating performance for general and administrative expenses:

		Q1 2008		Q4 2007		Q3 2007		Q2 2007		Q1 2007
Compensation for employees, leased employees, officers and directors	$	1,928,272	$	1,535,115	$	1,760,439	$	1,877,103	$	1,873,582
Professional fees		281,418		184,507		529,139		319,948		394,028
Reconfirmation, mailing, billing and other customer-related costs		17,601		33,662		24,269		34,042		23,715
Depreciation and amortization		478,433		460,554		396,759		364,724		336,887
Other general and administrative costs		689,247		757,136		522,583		531,915		558,513
	$	3,394,971	$	2,970,974	$	3,233,189	$	3,127,732	$	3,186,725

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Three Months Ended December 31,
2007		2006		Change		Percent

$	2,185,886	$	2,086,033	$	99,853		5	%

Sales and marketing expenses increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 due to expanded marketing efforts in telemarketing and online advertising, partially offset by a reduction of approximately $1 million in direct response advertising costs as we have discontinued our direct mail campaigns. Online advertising has increased from zero in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to approximately $592,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as we seek to increase customers’ awareness and use of our online marketplace.

Table of Contents

Included in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 is depreciation expense of $18,408 related to our subsidiary in the Philippines that exclusively provides telemarketing services.

Operating Income

Three Months Ended December 31,
2007		2006		Change			Percent

$	482,482	$	740,055	$	(257,573	)		(35	)%

The decrease in operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 is primarily due to increased operating expenses partially offset by increased gross margins, each of which is described above.

Other Income (Expense)

Three Months Ended December 31,
2007		2006		Change			Percent

$	34,911	$	93,299	$	(58,388	)		(63	)%

Other income (expense), consisting primarily of interest income, decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 due primarily to a reduction of our cash and short-term investment balances, which decreased as a result of investments in acquired businesses and the effects of the Attorneys’ General settlement.

Income Tax Provision

Three Months Ended December 31,
2007			2006			Change		Percent

$	(191,301	)	$	(348,156	)	$	156,855		(45	)%

The change in our income tax provision in each of the above periods is due primarily to changes in our pre-tax income. However, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, we incurred additional income tax expense of $2,000 and $23,000 due to book-tax differences in the recognition of restricted stock awards. During these periods, a portion of our restricted stock awards had vested and, due to declines in our stock price from grant date to vest date, the tax effects of the vesting of these awards were less than the carrying value of the related deferred tax assets.

Net Income

Three Months Ended December 31,
2007		2006		Change			Percent

$	326,092	$	485,198	$	(159,106	)		(33	)%

Changes in net income are primarily attributable to changes in operating income and changes in income tax expense. As these respective quarters yielded different operating results stemming from the impacts of the Attorneys’ General settlement, changes in the use of billing channels, changes in marketing strategies and other operating changes, see the respective financial statement line item narratives included herein for a detailed analysis of changes in our results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $980,756, or 352%, to $702,148 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to net cash used of $278,608 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in cash generated from operations is primarily due to the payment of over $2 million related to the attorney’s general settlement in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and other changes in working capital.

Table of Contents

Our primary source of cash inflows is net remittances from our billing channels, including ACH billings and LEC billings. For ACH billings, we generally receive the net proceeds through our billing service processors within 15 days of submission. For LEC billings, we receive collections on accounts receivable through the billing service aggregators under contracts to administer this billing and collection process. The billing service aggregators generally do not remit funds until they are collected. Generally, cash is collected and remitted to us (net of dilution and other fees and expenses) over a 60- to 120-day period subsequent to the billing dates. Additionally, for each monthly billing cycle, the billing aggregators and LECs withhold certain amounts, or “holdback reserves,” to cover potential future dilution and bad debt expense. These holdback reserves lengthen our cash conversion cycle as they are remitted to us over a 12- to 18-month period of time. We classify these holdback reserves as current or long-term receivables on our consolidated balance sheet, depending on when they are scheduled to be remitted to us. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 66.6% of our gross accounts receivable are due from three aggregators.

Our most significant cash outflows include payments for marketing expenses and general operating expenses. General operating cash outflows consist of payroll costs, income taxes, and general and administrative expenses that typically occur within close proximity of expense recognition.

Net cash used for investing activities totaled $231,357 during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and consisted of $7,000 of additional closing costs related to the acquisition of LiveDeal, Inc, $16,243 of additional closing costs related to the acquisition of OnCall Subscriber Management Inc., $163,384 of expenditures for software and intangible assets and $44,730 of purchases of equipment. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $367,983 during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and consisted of expenditures for software and intangible assets and purchases of equipment, partially offset by the liquidation of certificates of deposit and other investments.

Net cash used for financing activities was $294,312 during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, consisting primarily of treasury stock repurchases as described below. There were no financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

We had working capital of $12,298,189 as of December 31, 2007, compared to $11,632,301 as of September 30, 2007, with current assets increasing by approximately $399,000 and current liabilities decreasing approximately $267,000 from September 30, 2007 to December 31, 2007. Our cash position increased to $5,851,012 at December 31, 2007 compared to $5,674,533 at September 30, 2007 due to the effects of our results of operations, partially offset by purchases of software, intangible assets, and equipment and purchases of treasury stock.

On May 25, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated our pre-existing stock repurchase plan and replaced it with a new plan authorizing repurchases of up to $1,000,000 of common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We acquired 76,725 shares of our common stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 at an aggregate cost of $293,832. Of the 76,725 shares acquired, 67,775 shares were retired prior to December 31, 2007. We retired an aggregate of 396,341 shares of treasury stock during the three months ended December 31, 2007.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at December 31, 2007 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our future liquidity and cash flows

	Payments Due by Fiscal Year
	Total		2008		2009		2010		2011		2012		Thereafter
Operating lease commitments	$	3,002,419	$	693,917	$	858,310	$	567,594	$	465,194	$	338,819	$	78,585

We believe that our existing cash on hand and additional cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs for the next 12 months.

At December 31, 2007, we had no other off-balance sheet arrangements, commitments or guarantees that require additional disclosure or measurement.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of December 31, 2007, we did not participate in any market risk-sensitive commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107. We believe that we are not subject in any material way to other forms of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk or foreign customer purchases (of which there were none in the periods set forth in this report) or commodity price risk.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with an objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls are also designed with an objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in order to allow timely consideration regarding required disclosures.

The evaluation of our disclosure controls by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Quarterly Report. Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, projections of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on their review and evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, and subject to the inherent limitations as described above, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. They are not aware of any significant changes in our disclosure controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
