Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LiveDeal, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “LiveDeal”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). The Company primarily provides online marketing internet directory service for small businesses. Through its wholly owned subsidiary Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc., LiveDeal offers an affordable way for businesses to extend their marketing reach to local, relevant customers and to manage their online presence.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011, which has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, this interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending September 30, 2012. The accompanying note disclosures related to the interim financial information included herein are also unaudited. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of September 30, 2011 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011.

 

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 made by management throughout the preparation of the condensed 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, evaluating the merits of pending litigation, estimating forfeitures of stock-based compensation and evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

While the Company believes that its existing cash on hand is sufficient to finance our operations for the next twelve months, there can be no assurance that we will generate profitability or positive operating cash flows in the near future. To the extent that we cannot achieve profitability or positive operating cash flows, our business will be materially and adversely affected. Further, our business is likely to experience significant volatility in its revenues, operating losses, personnel involved, products or services for sale, and other business parameters, as management implements its strategies and responds to operating results.

 

Effective August 10, 2011, the Company implemented a 20-for-19 forward stock split with respect to issued and outstanding shares of its common stock via a stock dividend.  All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated for the effects of this stock split.

   $876,392   $1,026,294 

 

Our accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers of our directory services business.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company discovered it was incorrectly netting certain allowance accounts against gross receivables. From this review and for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company concluded that it should gross up its receivables by approximately $350,000 with an equal offset and increase to its allowance for doubtful accounts from the methodology formerly used by the Company. The net accounts receivable balances were not impacted for this period or any prior period.

 

Components of allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:

Note 3: Restructuring Activities

 

On November 30, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a reduction in force that resulted in the termination of 36 employees, or approximately 60% of it’s workforce, effective December 1, 2010. The reduction in force was related to the Company’s ongoing restructuring and cost reduction efforts and strategy of focusing its resources on the development and expansion of its core InstantProfile product, the successor to the Company’s LEC-billed directory product. All terminated employees were involved in the marketing and sale of the Company’s InstantPromote product by LiveDeal’s subsidiary, Local Marketing Experts, Inc.

 

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred expenses of $0 and $99,319, respectively, in connection with the reduction in force, of which $37,500 were incurred for one-time employee termination benefits payable in cash.  The remaining expenses related to salaries and wages payable in cash to the affected employees. The Company did not incur any expenses in the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 in connection with any restructuring activities.

 

Note 4: Discontinued Operations

 

As part of the Company’s strategy to evaluate each of its business segments as separate entities, management noted that the direct sales business segment had incurred operating losses and declining revenues and did not fit with the Company’s change in strategic direction. Accordingly, in March 2011, the Company made the strategic decision to discontinue its direct sales business and product offerings. Prior financial statements have been restated to present the direct sales business segment as a discontinued operation.

 

The direct sales business segment accounted for no net revenues for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and $513,751 and $1,236,137 of net revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. These revenues are included as part of income from discontinued operations, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Note 5: Stock-based Compensation

 

From time to time, the Company grants restricted stock awards and stock options to officers, directors, employees and consultants. These awards are valued based on the grant date fair value of the instruments, net of estimated forfeitures. The value of each award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company recognized compensation expense of $1,894 and $3,788 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, and $0 and $23,499 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, related to stock option awards granted to certain employees and executives based on the grant date fair value of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company used the estimated forfeiture rate of awards of 50% based on actual forfeiture experience and other factors.

 

The following represents a summary of stock option activity for the six months ended March 31, 2012:

 

8
 

 

       Weighted   Weighted     
       Average   Average   Aggregate 
   Number of   Exercise   Remaining   Intrinsic 
   Shares   Price   Contractual Life   Value 
Outstanding at September 30, 2011   24,013   $3.64    9      
Granted at market price   -                
Exercised   -                
Forfeited   (13,487)  $3.53           
Outstanding at March 31, 2012   10,526   $3.77    9.1   $- 
Exercisable   5,921   $3.77    9.1   $- 

 

On January 13, 2012, the Company terminated the employment of its President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms of his employment with the Company, the termination resulted in the forfeiture of all 13,487 of his unvested stock options.

 

At March 31, 2012, the Company had $4,828 of unrecognized compensation expense (net of estimated forfeitures) associated with stock option awards which the Company expects will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

The Company has previously granted shares of restricted stock to certain individuals. The following table sets forth changes in compensation-related restricted stock awards during the six months ended March 31, 2012:

 

Outstanding (unvested) at September 30, 2011   1,342 
Granted   - 
Forfeited   (26)
Vested   (1,053)
Outstanding (unvested) at March 31, 2012   263 

 

Because the number of shares of the Company’s outstanding unvested restricted stock became immaterial, the Company recognized all remaining expense associated with these unvested awards (net of estimated forfeitures) during the three months ended December 31, 2010.

 

Stock Awards Granted to Directors

 

In September 2011, in an effort to preserve cash, our Board, after consultation with the Compensation Committee, determined to compensate members of the Board for their monthly retainer and other services as directors and/or members of the Board’s various standing committees through the award of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Plan (the “2003 Stock Plan”). Under the terms of this arrangement, each non-employee director receives a monthly award of a number of fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock equal to their monthly board of director fees divided by the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Company granted an aggregate of 8,965 and 40,341 shares of common stock and recognized expense of $37,100 and $83,100 related to this agreement during the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. No such grants were made and no such expense was recognized during the three and six months ended March 31, 2011.

At the 2012 annual meeting of the Company’s Stockholders, the stockholders approved a proposal to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Plan from 140,000 to 340,000.

 

Note 7: Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the additional common shares issuable in respect of restricted share awards, stock options and convertible preferred stock. Preferred stock dividends are subtracted from net loss to determine the amount available to common stockholders.

 

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

 

 

   Three Months Ended March 31,   Six Months Ended March 31, 
   2012   2011   2012   2011 
                 
Loss from continuing operations  $(259,222)  $(2,029,493)  $(454,440)  $(3,914,047)
Less: preferred stock dividends   (479)   (479)   (958)   (958)
Loss from continuing operations applicable to common stock   (259,701)   (2,029,972)   (455,398)   (3,915,005)
Income (loss) from discontinued operations   229    (285,207)   3,809    (131,047)
Net loss applicable to common stock  $(259,472)  $(2,315,179)  $(451,589)  $(4,046,052)
                     
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted   2,345,253    658,928    1,692,374    647,757 
                     
Earnings per share - basic and diluted:                    
Loss from continuing operations  $(0.11)  $(3.08)  $(0.27)  $(6.04)
Discontinued operations   0.00    (0.43)   0.00    (0.20)
Net loss  $(0.11)  $(3.51)  $(0.27)  $(6.24)

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effects were anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method and because the Company incurred net losses during the period:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31,   Six Months Ended March 31, 
   2012   2011   2012   2011 
                 
Options to purchase shares of common stock   24,014    12,813    24,014    12,813 
Series E convertible preferred stock   127,840    127,840    127,840    127,840 
Shares of non-vested restricted stock   1,342    2,283    1,342    2,283 
    153,196    142,936    153,196    142,936 

 

Note 8: Income Taxes

 

At March 31, 2012, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company determined this valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient profits from its new business model.

 

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, the Company did not incur any income tax benefit associated with its net loss due to the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets generated during the period.

Litigation

 

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings from time to time incidental to the conduct of its business. These proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. The nature of legal proceedings is such that we cannot assure the outcome of any particular matter, and an unfavorable ruling or development could have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the period in which a ruling or settlement occurs. However, based on information available to the Company’s management to date and other than as noted below, the Company’s management does not expect that the outcome of any matter pending against us is likely to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2012, our annual results of operations or cash flows, or our liquidity.

 

The Company has not recorded any accruals pertaining to any legal proceedings as of March 31, 2012, as they did not meet the criteria for accrual under FASB ASC 450.

 

Global Education Services, Inc. v. LiveDeal, Inc.

 

On June 6, 2008, Global Education Services, Inc. (“GES“) filed a consumer fraud class action lawsuit against the Company in King County (Washington) Superior Court alleging that the Company’s use of activator checks violated the Washington Consumer Protection Act.  GES sought injunctive relief against the Company’s use of activator checks, as well as damages in an amount equal to three times the damages allegedly sustained by the putative members of the class. LiveDeal denied the allegations and defended the litigation.  The Company is currently negotiating a settlement and expects to file motions with the court jointly with the class representative and class counsel for preliminary and final approval once the settlement documents have been finalized.

 

Note 10: Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains cash balances at major banking institutions in California and Nevada. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per bank, and bank balances periodically exceed the FDIC limit. At times, the Company’s balances may exceed federally insured limits.

 

The Company has concentrations of receivables with respect to certain wholesale accounts and remaining holdbacks with Local Exchange Carrier (“LEC”) service providers. Three such entities accounted for 37%, 28% and 15% of gross receivables at March 31, 2012 and 31%, 25%, and 20% of gross receivables at September 30, 2011, respectively.

 

Note 11: Segment Reporting

 

The Company has historically had two reportable operating segments: Directory Services and Direct Sales - Customer Acquisition Services. During fiscal 2011, the Company discontinued its direct sales operations as described in Note 4 above. Accordingly, the Company’s continuing operations consist of only one business segment.

 

All of the Company’s revenues are derived from sales to external customers, from operations in the United States, and no single customer accounts for more than 10% of the Company’s revenues.

 

Note 12: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2011-04”) in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFSR”). Under ASU 2011-04, the guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in GAAP and IFRS and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same. ASU 2011-04 is effective for public entities during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Since ASU 2011-05 only amends the disclosure requirements concerning comprehensive income, the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Note 13: Subsequent Events

 

On April 3, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Isaac Capital Group LLC (“ICG”), pursuant to which ICG agreed to purchase for cash up to $2,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s unsecured Subordinated Convertible Notes (“Notes”). ICG is owned by Jon Isaac, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a director on our Board, and prior to this transaction owned 403,225 shares, or 16.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company issued an initial Note in the principal amount of $250,000 to ICG on the Closing Date. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the initial Note for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

The Purchase Agreement and the Notes, which are unsecured, provide that all amounts payable by LiveDeal to ICG under the Notes will be due and payable on April 3, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”), provided that LiveDeal has the option in its discretion to extend the Maturity Date by up to one (1) year if no Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, and LiveDeal is in material compliance with its agreements and covenants under the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, as of the Maturity Date.

 

The Purchase Agreement and the Notes provide that:

 

·The Notes will accrue interest at an annual interest rate equal to 8%. All interest will be payable on the Maturity Date or upon the conversion of the applicable Note.

 

·The Company has the option to prepay each Note, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty.

 

·Either the Company or ICG may elect at any time to convert all or any portion of any Note (including all principal and accrued interest) into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the dollar amount being converted divided by the conversion price. Subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations, share reclassifications, certain fundamental transactions and share issuances, the conversion price will be equal to 60% of the lesser of (i) $3.96, which was the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the Closing Date and (ii) the 10-day weighted average closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 business days immediately preceding the date of the applicable notice of conversion. In connection with the conversion of any Note, we will also issue to ICG a warrant to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion. This number of shares is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, certain stock issuances, certain fundamental transactions, and the like. Each warrant will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years following the date of its issuance at an exercise price equal to 120% of the conversion price of the applicable Note (with the exercise being subject to adjustment under the same conditions as the number of shares for which the warrant is exercisable.) The warrants provide that they may be exercised in whole or in part and include a cashless exercise feature.

 

·The Notes provide that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts payable to ICG will become immediately due and payable without any demand of or notice.

 

·The Company may issue additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,750,000 to ICG from time to time upon notice to ICG prior to April 3, 2013, provided that each Note must be in a principal amount of at least $100,000.

 

·The Company (i) is required to provide certain financial and other information to ICG from time to time, (ii) must maintain its corporate existence, business, assets, properties, insurance and records in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, (iii) with certain exceptions, must not incur or suffer to exist any liens or other encumbrances with respect to the Company’s property or assets, (iv) must not make certain loans or investments except in compliance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and (v) must not enter into certain types of transactions, including dispositions of it’s assets or business.

 

13
 

 

·The Notes provide that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all amounts payable to ICG will become immediately due and payable without any demand of or notice.

 

The events of default (“Events of Default”) which trigger the acceleration of the Notes include (among other things): (i) the Company’s failure to make any payment required under the Notes when due (subject to a three-day cure period), (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with its covenants and agreements under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and any other transaction documents, and (iii) the occurrence of a change of control with respect to the Company.

 

 

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 and six months ended March 31, 2012, this “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 condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

 

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,” “intends,” “expects,” or “anticipates,” and do not reflect historical facts. Specific forward-looking statements contained in this portion of the Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to (i) our expectation that continued growth in business demand for online advertising and websites will drive increased revenues; (ii) expectation that cost of sales will continue to be directly correlated to our use of our internal fulfillment of customers costs, (iii) belief that our existing cash on hand, together with additional cash generated from operations or obtained from other sources, such sources of cash possibly including stock issuances and loans will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs for the next 12 months and (iv) belief that our gross profit margin and selling, general and administrative costs will support the Company’s business plans and opportunities.

 

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, 2011 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 generally affect our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements were made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Our Company

 

LiveDeal, Inc. primarily provides local internet marketing services for small businesses. LiveDeal, through our wholly owned subsidiary (Velocity Marketing Concepts, Inc.), offers an affordable way for small businesses to extend their marketing reach to local, relevant customers via the Internet. 

 

We use the latest technologies to deliver best-in-breed online marketing solutions to our small business customers.  We have online advertising solutions to help small businesses grow their company and realize online success. 

 

Summary Business Description

 

We deliver affordable acquisition services to the small business segment through the InstantAgency® Suite of products and services. These products are currently sold through Velocity Marketing Concepts which targets complimentary aspects of the small business market.

 

The InstantAgency products include:

 

InstantProfile distributes a small business’ key contact and service information to the top Internet destinations (based on popularity), including search engines, internet directories, and social media networks. This gives the advertiser the ability to manage their business information in one location and maximize their reach to the many destinations a consumer may search for local business services.

 

InstantProfile’s social media platform, InstantBUZZ, not only creates a presence for the advertiser in select social media networks, it also allows the advertiser to use one location to broadcast their messages across their entire social media network. By leveraging this automation, our customers avoid the need to manage multiple logins for individual websites and duplicate submissions, thereby decreasing the time required to broadcast their messages through multiple social media channels.

 

Additionally, InstantProfile customers enjoy a suite of communication tools that assist them in communicating directly with their customers and employees. These communication tools include a conferencing solution to host calls with up to 10 participants and an online electronic fax solution with unlimited faxes included.

 

The key attribute the InstantAgency® products and services all have in common is high value, low cost marketing options that service the many needs of the small business customer. The suite of products and services was strategically chosen to be entry level products and services that can grow with a small business as it grows. For those starting with the more customized products and services, InstantAgency® can continue to drive more online visitors and callers and in turn customers based on the customer budget.  Our strategic advantage is the ability to service the small business customer regardless of their budget or online knowledge.

 

Recent Developments

 

Financial Performance

 

We have embarked on a significant change in business strategy to maintain our legacy business (directory services offering) and update it to meet current market requirements and move ahead of our competitors in this market segment.  We have continued to experience a decline in revenues due to the stop in new sales in July 2011. However, we have also reduced our costs of sales, primarily due to fulfillment cost reductions, ongoing costs and expenses and reduced ongoing operating losses. Our losses have decreased from $2,314,700 and $4,045,094, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 to $258,993 and $450,631 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 respectively.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

As part of our strategy to evaluate each of our business segments as separate entities, management noted that the direct sales business segment has incurred operating losses and declining revenues and did not fit with our change in strategic direction. Accordingly, in March 2011, we made the strategic decision to discontinue our direct sales business and product offerings. Prior financial statements have been restated to present the direct sales business segment as a discontinued operation.

 

15
 

 

The direct sales business segment accounted for no net revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and $513,751 and $1,236,137 of net revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. Net revenues from this business segment are now included as part of income from discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Restructuring Activities

 

On November 30, 2010, the Board approved a reduction in force that resulted in the termination of 36 of our employees or approximately 60% of our workforce, effective December 1, 2010. The reduction in force was related to our ongoing restructuring and cost reduction efforts and strategy of focusing our resources on the development and expansion of our core InstantProfile product, the successor to our LEC-billed directory product. All terminated employees were involved in the marketing and sale of our InstantPromote product by its subsidiary, Local Marketing Experts, Inc.

 

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, we incurred expenses of $0 and $99,319 respectively, in connection with this reduction in force. Of the $99,319 incurred in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, $37,500 were incurred for one-time employee termination benefits payable in cash and the remaining expenses related to salaries and wages payable in cash to the affected employees. No expenses were incurred in the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 in connection with the restructuring activities.

 

Termination and Appointment of Principal Officers

 

On January 13, 2012, we terminated the employment of Kevin A. Hall, our President and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of January 20, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Hall’s employment agreement, if he was terminated without cause, upon his resignation from the Board and execution of a customary release, Mr. Hall would be entitled to receive (among other things) a lump sum severance payment equal to three months of his current base salary, or $56,250. We have not made any severance payments to Mr. Hall because the parties have disputed the circumstances and consequences of his termination.

 

Effective as of January 20, 2012, our Board appointed Jon Isaac to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Isaac was previously appointed to our Board by ICG on December 12, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement described above under the heading “-Recent Developments-Equity Issuance). Mr. Isaac has agreed to be paid an annual salary of $1 for his services as President and Chief Executive Officer, and will be eligible to receive bonuses in the forms and amounts determined by our Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. We do not have a written employment agreement with Mr. Isaac.

 

Changes in Terms of Employment of Our Chief Financial Officer

 

Effective February 27, 2012, the terms of the May 20, 2011 employment agreement between LiveDeal and the Chief Financial Officer, Lawrence W. Tomsic were amended. The revision provides for a salary of $110,000 ( a 50% reduction) for the remainder of the contract and all 10,526 stock options will fully vest on May 20, 2012.

 

Appointments and Resignation to the Board of Directors

 

On January 19, 2012, Sheryle Bolton resigned as a member of the Board. Ms. Bolton formerly served as our Lead Director and was a member of our Audit Committee. Her resignation did not result from any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies, or practices.

 

On January 25, 2012, the Board appointed Dennis Gao as a director to fill the vacancy created by Ms. Bolton’s resignation. Mr. Gao was subsequently elected to our Board at our annual meeting of stockholders held on February 23, 2012. Mr. Gao was also appointed as a member of the Board’s Audit Committee.

 

Formation of Restructuring Committee

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement described in Note 6, the Board also established an ad hoc special committee (the “Restructuring Committee”) to evaluate a potential restructuring of the Company. The Board appointed each of the New Directors, as well as existing directors Sheryle Bolton and Thomas Clarke, to serve on the Restructuring Committee. Ms. Bolton no longer serves on the Restructuring Committee effective immediately upon her resignation from the Board of Directors.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On January 10, 2012, the Company dismissed Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. (“MHM”) and approved the engagement of Kabani & Company, Inc (“Kabani”) to replace MHM as our independent registered public accounting firm. Both actions were approved by our board’s Audit Committee. At the 2012 annual meeting of our stockholders on February 23, 2012, our stockholders ratified the appointment of Kabani as our independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following sets forth a discussion of our financial results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2011. In evaluating our business, management reviews several key performance indicators including new customers, total customers in each line of business, revenues per customer, and customer retention rates. However, given the changing nature of our business strategy, we do not believe that presentation of these metrics would reveal any meaningful trends in our operations that are not otherwise apparent from the discussion of our financial results below.

 

Net Revenues

 

   Net Revenues 
   2012   2011   Change   Percent 
                 
Three Months Ended March 31,  $821,701   $1,118,165   $(296,464)   (27)%
Six Months Ended March 31,  $1,673,114   $2,112,787   $(439,673)   (21)%

 

Net revenues decreased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011 primarily due to the fact that new sales were paused July 15, 2011 when we began exploring new sales programs and improving our marketing and fulfillment services.

 

Cost of Services

 

 

   Cost of Services 
   2012   2011   Change   Percent 
                 
Three Months Ended March 31,  $226,608   $1,512,783   $(1,286,175)   (85)%
Six Months Ended March 31,  $462,427   $2,407,360   $(1,944,933)   (81)%

 

Cost of services decreased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011 primarily due to decreased costs associated with the decline in the number of our customers and the provisioning of fulfillment activities are now done by us rather than outside vendors.

 

Gross Profit

 

   Gross Profit 
   2012   2011   Change   Percent 
                 
Three Months Ended March 31,  $595,093   $(394,618)  $989,711    251%
Six Months Ended March 31,  $1,210,687   $(294,573)  $1,505,260    511%

 

Gross profit increased in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2011 primarily due to the decreased cost of fulfillment services as described above.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

   General and Administrative Expenses 
   2012   2011   Change   Percent 
                 
Three Months Ended March 31,  $821,434   $1,611,382   $(789,948)   (49)%
Six Months Ended March 31,  $1,588,242   $3,583,951   $(1,995,709)   (56)%

 

17
 

 

General and administrative expenses decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily due to the following:

 

·Decreased compensation costs of approximately $241,000 reflecting the reduction of employees from 21 at March 31, 2011 to 10 at March 31, 2012;

 

·Other expense decreases of $113,000, including, but not limited to, rent and utilities, services and fees, office and supplies expenses, office closure expenses, travel and entertainment and other corporate expenses associated with our office closures, reductions in force and other cost containment initiatives;

 

·Decreased professional fees of approximately $313,000 related to reductions in IT consulting fees of $88,000, legal fees of $88,000, accounting fees of $1,000, marketing consultant fees of $14,000, outside sales service costs of $85,000 and other miscellaneous consultants costs of $37,000; and

 

·Decreased depreciation and amortization expense of $123,000.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased in the first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2011 primarily due to the following:

 

·Decreased compensation costs of approximately $836,000 reflecting the reduction of employees from 21 at March 31, 2011 to 10 at March 31, 2012;

 

·Other expense decreases of $278,000, including, but not limited to, rent and utilities, services and fees, office and supplies expenses, office closure expenses, travel and entertainment and other corporate expenses associated with our office closures, reductions in force and other cost containment initiatives;

 

·Decreased professional fees of approximately $623,000 related to reduction in IT consulting fees of $144,000, legal fees of $192,000, accounting fees of $14,000, marketing consultant fees of $28,000, outside sales service costs of $181,000 and other miscellaneous consultants costs of $64,000; and

 

·Decreased depreciation and amortization expense of $259,000.

 

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

Operating Loss

 

   Operating Loss 
   2012   2011   Change   Percent 
Three Months Ended March 31,  $(226,860)  $(2,029,183)  $1,802,323    89%
Six Months Ended March 31,  $(378,134)  $(3,915,299)  $3,537,165    90%

 

The reduction in operating loss for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2011 reflect a variety of changes in net revenues, cost of sales, general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing expenses, each of which is described above.

 

Total Other Income (Expense)

 

   Total Other Income (Expense) 
   2012   2011   Change   Percent

Six Months Ended March 31,  $(76,306)  $1,252   $(77,558)   (6195)%

 

For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2012, we paid $41,000 and $85,000 in interest expense, respectively, primarily for the Everest Group loan.

 

Income from Discontinued Operations

 

   Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations 
   2012   2011   Change   Percent 
                 
Three Months Ended March 31,  $229   $(285,207)  $285,436    100%
Six Months Ended March 31,  $3,809   $(131,047)  $134,856    103%

 

In March 2011, we decided to discontinue the direct sales business and closed that business segment in May 2011 and reflected the change for previously reported periods. For more information, see discussions under the heading “Recent Developments-Discontinued Operations” above. The decline in profitability between the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 reflects a decline in revenues as we discontinued that business in May 2011.

 

Net Loss

 

   Net Loss 
   2012   2011   Change   Percent

Six Months Ended March 31,  $(450,631)  $(4,045,094)  $3,594,463    89%

 

The reduction in net loss for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2011 are primarily attributable to changes in operating income, other income (expense) and discontinued operations, each of which is described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash generated in operating activities was approximately $6,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $2,805,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2011, an improvement of $2,811,000. A decrease of $3,594,000 in our net loss accounted for the majority of this variance. The cash impacts of the decreased net loss were partially offset by a reduction of non-cash expenses of $965,000 including depreciation expense, stock compensation and bad debt expense. Changes in working capital and other current assets caused an increase in operating cash flows of $199,000 during the first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to an increase in operating cash flows of $17,000 for the first six months of 2011. This working capital variance resulted primarily from the changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable. Our primary source of cash inflows has historically been net remittances from directory services customers processed in the form of ACH billings and LEC billings.

 

We discontinued the direct sales services business in March 2011 as discussed above under the heading “Recent Developments-Discontinued Operations”. We previously received upfront payments averaging approximately one-sixth of the gross contract amount. Subsequent payments were received on an installment basis after the application of the initial payment amounts and were billed ratably over the remaining life of the contract.

 

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

 

In March 2012, we invested $8,000 in intangible assets primarily trade names and software development.

 

During the first six months of fiscal 2012, our cash flows from financing activities consisted of $2,150,000 received from the issuance of stock to investors, partially offset by $32,000 of payments on capital lease obligations and $250,000 of repayments of notes payable. During the first six months of fiscal 2011, our cash flows from financing activities consisted of $250,000 received from the issuance of stock to an investor, partially offset by $31,000 of payments on capital lease obligations.

 

We had working capital of $869,000 as of March 31, 2012 compared to $(1,050,000) as of September 30, 2011 with current assets increasing by $1,696,000 and current liabilities decreasing by $223,000 from September 30, 2011 to March 31, 2012. Increases in working capital are primarily attributable to the proceeds received from the issuance of stock to our investors partially offset by our operating net loss.

 

While we believe that our existing cash on hand is sufficient to finance our operations for the next twelve months, there can be no assurance that we will generate profitability or positive operating cash flows in the near future. To the extent that we cannot achieve profitability or positive operating cash flows, our business will be materially and adversely affected. Further, our business is likely to experience significant volatility in our revenues, operating losses, personnel involved, products or services for sale, and other business parameters, as management implements our new strategies and responds to operating results.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at March 31, 2012 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our future liquidity and cash flows:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and 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.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings from time to time incidental to the conduct of its business. These proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. The nature of legal proceedings is such that we cannot assure the outcome of any particular matter, and an unfavorable ruling or development could have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the period in which a ruling or settlement occurs. However, based on information available to the Company’s management to date and other than as noted below, the Company’s management does not expect that the outcome of any matter pending against us is likely to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2012, our annual results of operations or cash flows, or our liquidity.

 

Global Education Services, Inc. v. LiveDeal, Inc.

 

On June 6, 2008, Global Education Services, Inc. (“GES“) filed a consumer fraud class action lawsuit against the Company in King County (Washington) Superior Court alleging that the Company’s use of activator checks violated the Washington Consumer Protection Act.  GES sought injunctive relief against the Company’s use of activator checks, as well as damages in an amount equal to three times the damages allegedly sustained by the putative members of the class. LiveDeal denied the allegations and defended the litigation.  The Company is currently negotiating a settlement and expects to file motions with the court jointly with the class representative and class council for preliminary and final approval once the settlement documents have been finalized.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We may lose our LEC billing channels

 

The largest LEC billing companies have issued a notice to all clearinghouses that they will cease billing for third parties as of December 28, 2012. We anticipate that the three remaining LEC’s which have not announced that they will terminate their LEC billing contracts will also cease processing for third parties as of the end of this calendar year. We plan to continue to bill our LEC billing customers by switching to alternative billing methods we currently use for our other customers. The change in billing methods may adversely impact our business by increasing cancellation and refund requests from our LEC billing companies.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

On March 30, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with The Filakos Living Trust, an unaffiliated investor, pursuant to which we issued the trust 45,180 shares of our common stock in exchange for $150,000. We offered and sold these shares without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 to an accredited investor in reliance upon the exemption from the registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. The shares may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. An appropriate legend has been placed on the share certificate we issued.
