THEGLOBE.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF THEGLOBE.COM

theglobe.com, inc. (the "Company" or "theglobe") was incorporated on May 1, 1995 (inception) and commenced operations on that date. Originally, theglobe.com was an online community with registered members and users in the United States and abroad. However, due to the deterioration of the online advertising market, the Company was forced to restructure and ceased the operations of its online community on August 15, 2001. The Company then sold most of its remaining online and offline properties. The Company continued to operate its Computer Games print magazine and the associated CGOnline website ( www.cgonline.com ), as well as the e-commerce games distribution business of Chips & Bits, Inc. ( www.chipsbits.com ). On November 14, 2002, the Company entered into the Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) business by acquiring certain VoIP assets. On June 1, 2002, Chairman Michael S. Egan and Director Edward A. Cespedes became Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, respectively.

On May 9, 2005, the Company exercised an option to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Tralliance Corporation (“Tralliance”), an entity which had been designated as the registry for the “.travel” top-level domain through an agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”). The purchase price consisted of the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of theglobe’s Common Stock, warrants to acquire 475,000 shares of theglobe’s Common Stock and $40,000 in cash.

As more fully discussed in Note 4, “Discontinued Operations,” in March 2007, management and the Board of Directors of the Company made the decision to cease all activities related to its computer games businesses, including discontinuing the operations of its magazine publications, games distribution business and related websites.   In addition, in March 2007, management and the Board of Directors of the Company decided to discontinue the operating, research and development activities of its VoIP telephony services business and terminate all of the remaining employees of that business.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company managed a single line of business consisting of Tralliance. See Note 3, “Proposed Tralliance Transaction,” regarding a proposed transaction whereby the Company would sell its Tralliance business and issue approximately 269,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to a company controlled by Michael S. Egan, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries from their respective dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 included herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations and cash flows for such periods are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year or for any future period.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions relate to estimates of collectibility of accounts receivable, the valuations of fair values of options and warrants, the impairment of long-lived assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other factors. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, a significant portion of our net liabilities of discontinued operations relate to charges that have been disputed by the Company and for which estimates have been required. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based upon available information and experience. Because of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

5



CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and highly liquid short-term investments with qualified financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Comprehensive income (loss) generally represents all changes in stockholders' equity during the year except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, stockholders. The Company's comprehensive loss was approximately $549 thousand and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which approximated the Company's reported net loss.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions and invests its funds among a diverse group of issuers and instruments. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, historical trends and other information.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company’s revenue from continuing operations consists principally of registration fees for Internet domain registrations, which generally have terms of one year, but may be up to ten years. Such registration fees are reported net of transaction fees paid to an unrelated third party which serves as the registry operator for the Company. Payments of registration fees are deferred when initially received and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the registrations’ terms.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Effective with the March 2007 decision by management and the Board of Directors of the Company to cease all activities related to its computer games and VoIP telephony services businesses, the Company is now involved in one operating segment, the Internet services business.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

The Company reports net loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Computation of Earnings Per Share." In accordance with SFAS 128 and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC’) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98, basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes (using the if-converted method), if any, and the shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive or if a loss from continuing operations is reported.
 

Due to the Company's net losses from continuing operations, the effect of potentially dilutive securities or common stock equivalents that could be issued was excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculation due to the anti-dilutive effect. Such potentially dilutive securities and common stock equivalents consisted of the following for the periods ended March 31:
 
   
 
2008
 
  2007
 
Options to purchase common stock  
   
15,601,000

Total

103,834,000
 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”) which requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R requires, among other things, that in a business combination achieved through stages (sometimes referred to as a “step acquisition”) that the acquirer recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with this Statement).

6


SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual, which in most types of business combinations will result in measuring goodwill as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). This Statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented. SFAS 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. Currently, net income attributable to the non-controlling interest generally is reported as an expense or other deduction in arriving at consolidated net income. It also is often presented in combination with other financial statement amounts. SFAS 160 results in more transparent reporting of the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 expands the scope of what entities may carry at fair value by offering an irrevocable option to record many types of financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Changes in fair value would be recorded in an entity’s income statement. This accounting standard also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements that are intended to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting standards that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
  
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 permits existing public companies to initially apply its provisions either by (i) restating prior financial statements as if the “dual approach” had always been used or (ii) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the “dual approach” as adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Use of the “cumulative effect” transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which clarifies accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
(2) GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. However, for the reasons described below, Company management does not believe that cash on hand and cash flow generated internally by the Company will be adequate to fund the operation of its businesses beyond a short period of time. These reasons raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the year ended December 31, 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, the Company was able to continue operating as a going concern due principally to funding of $1,250,000 received from the sale of secured convertible demand promissory notes to an entity controlled by Michael Egan, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, in December 2007, additional funding of $380,000 was provided from the sale of all of the Company’s rights related to its www.search.travel domain name and website to an entity also controlled by Mr. Egan. At March 31, 2008, the Company had a net working capital deficit of approximately $9,888,000, inclusive of a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $336,000. Such working capital deficit included an aggregate of $4,650,000 in secured convertible demand debt, related accrued interest of approximately $1,071,000 and accounts payable totaling approximately $644,000 due to entities controlled by Mr. Egan (See Note 7, “Related Party Transactions” for further details). Additionally, such working capital deficit included approximately $1,878,000 of net liabilities of discontinued operations, with a significant portion of such liabilities related to charges which have been disputed by the Company.

Notwithstanding previous cost reduction actions taken by the Company and its decision to shutdown its unprofitable computer games and VoIP telephony services businesses in March 2007 (see Note 4, “Discontinued Operations” for further details), the Company continues to incur substantial consolidated net losses, although reduced in comparison with prior periods, and management believes that the Company will continue to be unprofitable in the foreseeable future. Based upon the Company’s current financial condition, as discussed above, and without the infusion of additional capital, management does not believe that the Company will be able to fund its operations beyond the end of May 2008.

As more fully discussed in Note 3, “Proposed Tralliance Transaction”, on February 1, 2008, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to sell substantially all of the business and net assets of its Tralliance Corporation subsidiary and to issue approximately 269,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to an entity controlled by Mr. Egan (the “Proposed Tralliance Transaction”). In the event that this Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated, all of the Company’s remaining secured and unsecured debt owed to entities controlled by Mr. Egan (which was approximately $5,721,000 and $644,000 at March 31, 2008, respectively) will be exchanged or cancelled. Additionally, the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction would also result in significant reductions in the Company’s cost structure, based upon the elimination of Tralliance’s operating expenses. Although substantially all of Tralliance’s revenue would also be eliminated, approximately 10% of Tralliance’s future net revenue through May 5, 2015 would be essentially retained through the contemplated net revenue earn-out provisions of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction. Additionally, the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction would increase Mr. Egan’s ownership in the Company to approximately 84% (assuming exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants) and would significantly dilute all other existing shareholders. The foregoing description is preliminary in nature and there may be significant changes between such preliminary terms and the terms of any final definitive purchase agreement.

MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

Management expects that the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction will significantly reduce the amount of net losses currently being sustained by the Company. However, management does not believe that the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction will, in itself, allow the Company to become profitable and generate operating cash flows sufficient to fund its operations and pay its existing current liabilities (including those liabilities related to its discontinued operations) in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, assuming that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated, management believes that additional capital infusions (although reduced in comparison with the amounts of capital required during the Company’s recent past) will continue to be needed in order for the Company to continue to operate as a going concern.

In the event that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is not consummated, management expects that significantly more capital will need to be invested in the Company in the near term than would be required in the event that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated. Also, inasmuch as substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries secure the convertible demand debt owed to entities controlled by Mr. Egan, in connection with any resulting proceeding to collect this debt, such entities could seize and sell the assets of the Company and it subsidiaries, any or all of which would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and future operations of the Company, including the potential bankruptcy or cessation of business of the Company.

It is our preference to avoid filing for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. However, in order to continue operating as a going concern for any length of time beyond May 2008, we believe that we must quickly raise capital. Although there is no commitment to do so, any such funds would most likely come from Michael Egan or affiliates of Mr. Egan or the Company as the Company currently has no access to credit facilities with traditional third parties and has historically relied upon borrowings from related parties to meet short-term liquidity needs. Any such capital raised would not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and would not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration requirements. Further, any securities issued (or issuable) in connection with any such capital raise will likely result in very substantial dilution of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

The amount of capital required to be raised by the Company will be dependent upon a number of factors, including (i) whether or not the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated; (ii) our ability to increase Tralliance net revenue levels; (iii) our ability to control and reduce operating expenses; and (iv) our ability to successfully settle disputed and other outstanding liabilities related to our discontinued operations. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction will be consummated nor that the Company will be successful in raising a sufficient amount of capital, executing any of its current or future business plans or in continuing to operate as a going concern on a long-term basis. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(3)  PROPOSED TRALLIANCE TRANSACTION

On February 1, 2008 the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to sell substantially all of the business and net assets of its Tralliance Corporation subsidiary and to issue approximately 269,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, to The Registry Management Company, LLC, a privately held entity controlled by Michael S. Egan, theglobe.com’s Chairman, CEO and controlling investor (the “Proposed Tralliance Transaction”).

As part of the purchase consideration for the Proposed Tralliance Transaction, Mr. Egan and certain of his affiliates will exchange and surrender all of their right, title and interest to certain secured demand convertible notes (the “2005 Convertible Notes and 2007 Convertible Notes”), accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as well as accrued and unpaid rent and miscellaneous fees that are due and outstanding as of the date of the closing of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction. At March 31, 2008, amounts due under the 2005 Convertible Notes and 2007 Convertible Notes, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and accrued and unpaid rent and miscellaneous fees totaled approximately $4,650,000, $1,071,000 and $644,000, respectively, which amounts collectively equal $6,365,000 (see Note 7, “Related Party Transactions” for additional details).

As additional consideration, The Registry Management Company will pay an earn-out to theglobe equal to 10% (subject to certain minimums) of The Registry Management Company’s net revenue derived from “.travel” names registered by The Registry Management Company through May 5, 2015. The total net present value of the minimum guaranteed earn-out payments is estimated to be approximately $1,300,000, bringing the total purchase consideration for the Proposed Tralliance Transaction to approximately $7,665,000 (based upon March 31, 2008 liability balances as discussed above).

The Proposed Tralliance Transaction is subject to the negotiation and closing of a definitive purchase agreement, receipt of an independent fairness opinion, and shareholder approval. The Proposed Tralliance Transaction is expected to close no earlier that the second quarter of 2008. The foregoing description is preliminary in nature and there may be significant changes between such preliminary terms and the terms of any final definitive purchase agreement. As of May 9, 2008, the Company and The Registry Management Company continue to work toward finalizing a definitive agreement, however as of such date, no definitive agreement has been entered into.

(4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In March 2007, management and the Board of Directors of the Company made the decision to cease all activities related to its Computer Games businesses, including discontinuing the operations of its magazine publications, games distribution business and related websites. The Company’s decision to shutdown its computer games businesses was based primarily on the historical losses sustained by these businesses during the recent past and management’s expectations of continued future losses. As of March 31, 2008, all significant elements of its computer games business shutdown plan have been completed by the Company, except for the collection and payment of remaining outstanding accounts receivables and payables.

In addition, in March 2007, management and the Board of Directors of the Company decided to discontinue the operating, research and development activities of its VoIP telephony services business and terminate all of the remaining employees of the business.   The Company’s decision to discontinue the operations of its VoIP telephony services business was based primarily on the historical losses sustained by the business during the past several years, management’s expectations of continued losses for the foreseeable future and estimates of the amount of capital required to attempt to successfully monetize its business. On April 2, 2007, theglobe agreed to transfer to Michael Egan all of its VoIP intellectual property in consideration for his agreement to provide the Security in connection with the MySpace litigation Settlement Agreement (See Note 6, “Litigation,” for further discussion). The Company had previously written off the value of the VoIP intellectual property as a result of its evaluation of the VoIP telephony services business’ long-lived assets in connection with the preparation of the Company’s 2004 year-end consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2008, all significant elements of its VoIP telephony services business shutdown plan have been completed by the Company, except for the resolution of certain vendor disputes and the payment of remaining outstanding vendor payables.

Results of operations for the Computer Games and VoIP telephony services businesses have been reported separately as “Discontinued Operations” in the accompanying condensed consolidate statements of operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the computer games and VoIP telephony services businesses have been included in the captions, “Assets of Discontinued Operations” and “Liabilities of Discontinued Operations” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations of the computer games and VoIP telephony services businesses as included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. A significant portion of the net liabilities of discontinued operations at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 relate to charges that have been disputed by the Company and for which estimates have been required.

(5) STOCK OPTION PLANS

We have several stock option plans under which nonqualified stock options may be granted to officers, directors, other employees, consultants and advisors of the Company. In general, options granted under the Company’s stock option plans expire after a ten-year period and generally vest no later than three years from the date of grant. Incentive options granted to stockholders who own greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company must be issued at 110% of the fair market value of the stock on the date the options are granted. As of March 31, 2008, there were approximately 7,383,000 shares available for grant under the Company’s stock option plans.

No stock options were granted by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2008. A total of 100,000 stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007, with a weighted-average fair value of $0.07. There were no stock option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
 Stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was as follows:

$

The weighted-average remaining contractual terms of stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable at March 31, 2008 were 6.0 years and 5.9 years, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of both options outstanding and stock options exercisable at March 31, 2008 was $0.

Stock compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Stock compensation expense totaling $8,551 was charged to continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008, including $426 of expense resulting from the vesting of non-employee stock options. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, stock compensation expense of $104,656 charged to continuing operations included $3,136 of expense related to the vesting of non-employee stock options and $34,423 from the accelerated vesting of stock options issued to terminated employees.

11


At March 31, 2008, there was approximately $38,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: no dividend yield; a risk free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant; an expected option life based on historical and expected exercise behavior; and expected volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price, over a time period that is consistent with the expected life of the option.

(6) LITIGATION

On June 1, 2006, MySpace, Inc. (“MySpace”), a Delaware corporation, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against theglobe.com, inc. (the “Company”). We were served with the lawsuit on June 6, 2006. MySpace alleged that the Company sent at least 100,000 unsolicited and unauthorized commercial email messages to MySpace members using MySpace user accounts improperly established by the Company, that the user accounts were used in a false and misleading fashion and that the Company's alleged activities constituted violations of the CAN-SPAM Act, the Lanham Act and California Business & Professions Code § 17529.5 (the “California Act”), as well as trademark infringement, false advertising, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unfair competition. MySpace sought monetary penalties, damages and injunctive relief for these alleged violations. It asserted entitlement to recover "a minimum of" $62.3 million of damages, in addition to three times the amount of MySpace's actual damages and/or disgorgement of the Company's purported profits from alleged violations of the Lanham Act, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees. Subsequent discovery in the case disclosed that the total number of unsolicited messages was approximately 400,000.

On February 28, 2007, the Court entered an order (the “Order”) granting in part MySpace’s motion for summary judgment, finding that the Company was liable for violation of the CAN-SPAM Act and the California Business & Professions Code, and for breach of contract (as embodied in MySpace’s “Terms of Service” contract). The Order also upheld as valid that portion of MySpace’s Terms of Service contract which provides for liquidated damages of $50 per email message sent after March 17, 2006 in violation of such Terms. The Company estimated that approximately 110,000 of the emails in question were sent after such date, which could have resulted in damages of approximately $5.5 million. In addition, the CAN-SPAM Act provided for statutory damages of between $100 and $300 per email sent in violation of the statute. Total damages under CAN-SPAM could therefore have ranged between about $40 million to about $120 million. In addition, under the California Act, statutory damages of $1,000,000 “per incident” could have been assessed.

On March 15, 2007, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with MySpace whereby it agreed to pay MySpace $2,550,000 on or before April 5, 2007 in exchange for a mutual release of all claims against one another, including any claims against the Company’s directors and officers. As part of the settlement, Michael Egan, the Company’s CEO, who is also an affiliate of the Company, agreed to enter into an agreement with MySpace on or before April 5th pursuant to which he would, among other things, provide a letter of credit, cash or other equivalent security (collectively, “Security”) in form and substance satisfactory to MySpace. Such Security was to expire and be released (and in fact did expire and was released) on the 100th day following the Company’s payment of the foregoing $2,550,000 so long as no bankruptcy petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors or like liquidation, reorganization or insolvency proceeding was instituted or filed related to the Company during such 100-day period. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” the $2,550,000 payment required by the Settlement Agreement was accrued and has been included in current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 and has been reflected as an expense of discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.

On April 2, 2007, theglobe agreed to transfer to Michael Egan all of its VoIP intellectual property in consideration for his agreement to provide the Security in connection with the Settlement Agreement. On April 13, 2007, Michael Egan and an entity wholly-owned by Michael Egan, and MySpace entered into a Security Agreement, an Indemnity Agreement and an Escrow Agreement (the “Security Agreements”) providing for the Security. On April 18, 2007, theglobe paid MySpace $2,550,000 in cash as settlement of the claims. MySpace and theglobe filed a consent judgment and stipulated permanent injunction with the Court on April 19, 2007, which among other things, dismissed all claims alleged in the lawsuit with prejudice.

On and after August 3, 2001 six putative shareholder class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, certain of its current and former officers and directors (the “Individual Defendants”), and several investment banks that were the underwriters of the Company's initial public offering and secondary offering. The lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A Consolidated Amended Complaint, which is now the operative complaint, was filed in the Southern District of New York on April 19, 2002.

The lawsuit purports to be a class action filed on behalf of purchasers of the stock of the Company during the period from November 12, 1998 through December 6, 2000. The purported class action alleges violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and Sections 10(b), Rule 10b-5 and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). Plaintiffs allege that the underwriter defendants agreed to allocate stock in the Company's initial public offering and its secondary offering to certain investors in exchange for excessive and undisclosed commissions and agreements by those investors to make additional purchases of stock in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices. Plaintiffs allege that the Prospectuses for the Company's initial public offering and its secondary offering were false and misleading and in violation of the securities laws because it did not disclose these arrangements. The action seeks damages in an unspecified amount. On October 9, 2002, the Court dismissed the Individual Defendants from the case without prejudice. This dismissal disposed of the Section 15 and 20(a) control person claims without prejudice. On December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit vacated a decision by the district court granting class certification in six of the coordinated cases, which are intended to serve as test, or “focus,” cases. The plaintiffs selected these six cases, which do not include the Company. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied a petition for rehearing filed by the plaintiffs, but noted that the plaintiffs could ask the district court to certify more narrow classes than those that were rejected.

12


On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six focus cases. The amended complaints include a number of changes, such as changes to the definition of the purported class of investors, and the elimination of the individual defendants as defendants. On September 27, 2007, the plaintiffs moved to certify a class in the six focus cases. On November 14, 2007, the issuers and the underwriters named as defendants in the six focus cases filed motions to dismiss the amended complaints against them. On March 26, 2008, the District Court dismissed the Section 11 claims of those members of the putative classes in the focus cases who sold their securities for a price in excess of the initial offering price and those who purchased outside the previously certified class period. With respect to all other claims, the motions to dismiss were denied. We are awaiting a decision from the Court on the class certification motion.

Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of the matter. We cannot predict whether we will be able to renegotiate a settlement that complies with the Second Circuit’s mandate.   If the Company is found liable, we are unable to estimate or predict the potential damages that might be awarded, whether such damages would be greater than the Company’s insurance coverage, and whether such damages would have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition in any future period.

The Company is currently a party to certain other claims and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, including certain disputes related to vendor charges incurred primarily as the result of the failure and subsequent shutdown of its discontinued VoIP telephony services business. The Company believes that it has recorded adequate accruals on its balance sheet to cover such disputed charges and is seeking to resolve and settle such disputed charges for amounts substantially less than recorded amounts. An adverse outcome in any of these matters, however, could materially and adversely effect our financial position, utilize a significant portion of our cash resources and adversely affect our ability our ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 4, “Discontinued Operations”).

(7) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During fiscal 2005 and 2007, the Company entered into convertible note purchase agreements (the “Agreements”) with certain entities controlled by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. At March 31, 2008, outstanding principal and accrued interest owed under the Agreements totaled $4,650,000 and $1,070,726, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, interest expense related to the Agreements of $115,932 and $83,836, respectively, was recorded.

Several entities controlled by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer have provided services to the Company, including: the lease of office space; and the outsourcing of customer services, human resources and payroll processing functions. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, $142,214 and $128,416 of expense related to these services was recorded, respectively. A total of $643,846 incurred during 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 related to these services remains unpaid and is included within current liabilities at March 31, 2008.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, a total of $7,886 in rent expense related to office space in New York City, which was subleased from Tralliance’s former President, was recorded. This sub-lease was terminated in June 2007.

Tralliance is a party to a Bulk Registration Co-Marketing Agreement (the “Co-Marketing Agreement”) entered into in December 2007 with Labigroup Holdings, LLC (“Labigroup”), a private entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our remaining directors also own a minority interest in Labigroup. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, Labigroup registered 4,285 “.travel” domain names and was charged $17,140 in fees and costs by Tralliance under the Co-Marketing Agreement. A total of $12,724 of such fees and costs remain unpaid at March 31, 2008. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, Labigroup paid in full the $412,050 balance of fees and costs owed to Tralliance as of December 31, 2007.

As more fully discussed in Note 3, “Proposed Tralliance Transaction” in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on February 1, 2008 the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to sell substantially all of the business and net assets of its Tralliance Corporation subsidiary and to issue approximately 269 million shares of its common stock to The Registry Management Company, LLC, a privately held entity controlled by Michael S. Egan, theglobe.com’s Chairman, CEO and controlling investor (the “Proposed Tralliance Transaction”).

As part of the purchase consideration for the Proposed Tralliance Transaction, Mr. Egan and certain of his affiliates will exchange and surrender all of their right, title and interest to secured convertible demand promissory notes, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as well as outstanding rent and miscellaneous fees that are due and outstanding as of the Closing Date of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction. Such liabilities totaled approximately $6.4 million at March 31, 2008.

14


The Proposed Tralliance Transaction is subject to the negotiation and closing of a definitive purchase agreement, receipt of an independent fairness opinion, and shareholder approval. The foregoing description is preliminary in nature and there may be significant changes between such preliminary terms and the terms of any final definitive purchase agreement. The Proposed Tralliance Transaction is expected to close no earlier than the second quarter of 2008.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We received a report from our independent accountants, relating to our December 31, 2007 audited financial statements, containing a paragraph stating that our recurring losses from operations and our accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to incur substantial consolidated net losses and management believes the Company will continue to be unprofitable and use cash in its operations for the foreseeable future. Based upon our current cash resources and without the infusion of additional capital, management does not believe the Company can operate as a going concern beyond the end of May 2008. See “Future and Critical Need for Capital” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further details.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

NET REVENUE. Net revenue totaled $544 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $432 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $112 thousand, or 26%, from the prior year period.   Net revenue attributable to domain name registrations is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the registrations. Total domain names registered as of the end of the first quarter of 2008 was 199,510, of which 168,993 were registered under our bulk purchase program established in December 2007 and 30,517 names registered under our standard program. As of March 31, 2007, there were 25,240 .travel names registered.
  
COST OF REVENUE. Cost of revenue totaled $32 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decline of $70 thousand, or 69%, from the $102 thousand reported for the three months ended March 31, 2007.   Cost of revenue consists primarily of fees paid to third party service providers which furnish outsourced services, including verification of registration eligibility, maintenance of the “.travel” directory of consumer-oriented registrant travel data, as well as other services. Fees for some of these services vary based on transaction levels or transaction types. Fees for outsourced services are generally deferred and amortized to cost of revenue over the term of the related domain name registration. Cost of revenue as a percent of net revenue was approximately 6% for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to 24% for the same period of 2007. The decline in cost of revenue as compared to the 2007 first quarter was due primarily to Tralliance’s continued emphasis on performing verification of registration eligibility in-house rather than utilizing third party providers, as well as the termination of an agreement to outsource this process. Additionally, Tralliance brought the hosting of the .travel directory in-house in October 2007 generating a savings of approximately $29 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007.

SALES AND MARKETING. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses of sales and marketing personnel, commissions, consulting, advertising and marketing costs, public relations expenses and promotional activities. Sales and marketing expenses totaled $128 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 versus $640 thousand for the same period in 2007. Beginning in the third quarter of 2006 and continuing through 2007, Tralliance engaged several outside parties to promote our registry operations and the www.search.travel website internationally. These engagements were either terminated or renegotiated by the end of 2007 which resulted in a decrease in sales and marketing costs of approximately $241 thousand as compared to the first quarter of 2007. Additional decreases in public relations, $99 thousand, and advertising, $75 thousand, contributed to the overall decline in sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007. We sold our rights to the www.search.travel website in December 2007 and as a result incurred no sales or marketing expenses related to such website in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel costs related to management, finance and accounting functions, facilities, outside legal and professional fees, information-technology consulting, directors and officers insurance, and general corporate overhead costs. General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $618 thousand in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to approximately $1.1 million for the same quarter of the prior year, a decline of $470 thousand, or approximately 43%. During the second quarter of 2007 the Company reduced its administrative headcount resulting in a decrease in personnel costs of approximately $384 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the prior year. Travel and entertainment expense also declined by $124 thousand in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007.

15


RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. Related party transactions expense consist of rent for the Company’s office space and the fees associated with the outsourcing of the customer service, human resource and payroll processing functions to entities controlled by theglobe’s management. Related party transactions expense totaled approximately $153 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a $17 thousand increase from the $136 thousand recognized in the same period in 2007. In November 2007, the Company increased the scope of customer services provided by an entity controlled by our Chairman, which resulted in a $93 thousand increase in related party transactions expense in the three months ended March 31, 2008 versus the three months ended March 31, 2007. Partially offsetting this increase was a $69 thousand reduction in related party rent expense in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same period the previous year.
 
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $50 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $59 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007, or a decline of $9 thousand.

RELATED PARTY INTEREST EXPENSE. Related party interest expense for the first quarter of 2008 was $116 thousand as compared to $84 thousand for the same quarter of 2007, reflecting increased borrowings made by the Company during the second and third quarters of 2007.

INTEREST INCOME. Interest income of $3 thousand was reported for the first quarter of 2008 compared to interest income of $50 thousand reported for the first quarter of the prior year. As a result of the Company’s net loss incurred during 2007, the Company had a lower level of funds available for investment during the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year.
 
INCOME TAXES. No tax benefit was recorded for the losses incurred during the first quarter of 2008 or the first quarter of 2007 as we recorded a 100% valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing or ultimate realization of the benefits of our net operating loss carryforwards in future periods. As of December 31, 2007, we had net operating loss carryforwards which may be potentially available for U.S. tax purposes of approximately $167 million. These carryforwards expire through 2026. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 imposes substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of an "ownership change" of a corporation. Due to various significant changes in our ownership interests, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we have substantially limited the availability of our net operating loss carryforwards. These net operating loss carryforwards may be further adversely impacted if the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated. There can be no assurance that we will be able to utilize any net operating loss carryforwards in the future.
 
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes totaled $965 in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to a net loss of approximately $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2007 and is summarized as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOW ITEMS

As of March 31, 2008, we had approximately $336 thousand in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $631,000 as of December 31, 2007. Net cash flows used in operating activities of continuing operations totaled approximately $281 thousand and $1.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, or a decrease of approximately $1.0 million. Such decrease was attributable primarily to a lower net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007.

A total of $22 thousand in net cash flows were used in the operating activities of discontinued operations during the first quarter of 2008 as compared to a use of approximately $497 thousand of cash in operating activities of discontinued operations during the same period of the prior year. Such decrease was attributable to the shutdown of the Company’s computer games and VoIP telephony services businesses in March 31, 2007

FUTURE AND CRITICAL NEED FOR CAPITAL

For the reasons described below, Company management does not believe that cash on hand and cash flow generated internally by the Company will be adequate to fund the operation of its businesses beyond a short period of time. Additionally, we have received a report from our independent registered public accountants, relating to our December 31, 2007 audited financial statements, containing an explanatory paragraph stating that our recurring losses from operations and our accumulated deficit raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the year ended December 31, 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, the Company was able to continue operating as a going concern due principally to funding of $1.25 million received from the sale of secured convertible demand promissory notes to an entity controlled by Michael Egan, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, in December 2007, funding of $380 thousand was provided from the sale of all of the Company’s rights related to its www.search.travel domain name and website to an entity controlled by Mr. Egan. At March 31, 2008, the Company had a net working capital deficit of approximately $9.9 million, inclusive of a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $336 thousand. Such working capital deficit included an aggregate of $4.65 million in secured convertible demand debt, related accrued interest of approximately $1.1 million and accounts payable totaling approximately $644 thousand due to entities controlled by Mr. Egan (See Note 7, “Related Party Transactions” in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details). Additionally, such working capital deficit included approximately $1.9 million of net liabilities of discontinued operations, with a significant portion of such liabilities related to charges which are disputed by the Company.

Notwithstanding previous cost reduction actions taken by the Company and its decision to shutdown its unprofitable computer games and VoIP telephony services businesses in March 2007 (see Note 4, “Discontinued Operations” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company continues to incur substantial consolidated net losses, although reduced in comparison with prior periods, and management believes that the Company will continue to be unprofitable in the foreseeable future. Based upon the Company’s current financial condition, as discussed above, and without the infusion of additional capital, management does not believe that the Company will be able to fund its operations beyond the end of May 2008.

As more fully discussed in Note 3, “Proposed Tralliance Transaction” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on February 1, 2008, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to sell substantially all of the business and net assets of its Tralliance Corporation subsidiary and to issue approximately 269 million shares of its common stock to an entity controlled by Mr. Egan (the “Proposed Tralliance Transaction”). In the event that this Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated, all of the Company’s remaining secured and unsecured debt owed to entities controlled by Mr. Egan (which was approximately $5.7 million and $644 thousand at March 31, 2008, respectively) will be exchanged or cancelled. Additionally, the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction would result in significant reductions in the Company’s cost structure, based upon the elimination of Tralliance’s operating expenses. Although substantially all of Tralliance’s revenue would also be eliminated, approximately 10% of Tralliance’s future net revenue through May 5, 2015 would essentially be retained through the contemplated net revenue earn-out provisions of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction. Additionally, the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction would increase Mr. Egan’s ownership in the Company to approximately 84% (assuming exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants) and would significantly dilute all other existing shareholders. The foregoing description is preliminary in nature and there may be significant changes between such preliminary terms and the terms of any final definitive purchase agreement.

Management expects that the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction will significantly reduce the amount of net losses currently being sustained by the Company. However, management does not believe that the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction will, in itself, allow the Company to become profitable and generate operating cash flows sufficient to fund its operations and pay its existing current liabilities (including those liabilities related to its discontinued operations) in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, assuming that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated, management believes that additional capital infusions (although reduced in comparison with the amounts of capital required during the Company’s recent past) will continue to be needed in order for the Company to continue to operate as a going concern.

17


In the event that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is not consummated, management expects that significantly more capital will need to be invested in the Company in the near term than would be required in the event that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated. Also, inasmuch as substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries secure the convertible demand debt owed to entities controlled by Mr. Egan, in connection with any resulting proceeding to collect this debt, such entities could seize and sell the assets of the Company and it subsidiaries, any or all of which would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and future operations of the Company, including the potential bankruptcy or cessation of business of the Company.

It is our preference to avoid filing for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. However, in order to continue operating as a going concern for any length of time beyond May 2008, we believe that we must quickly raise capital. Although there is no commitment to do so, any such funds would most likely come from Michael Egan or affiliates of Mr. Egan or the Company as the Company currently has no access to credit facilities with traditional third parties and has historically relied upon borrowings from related parties to meet short-term liquidity needs. Any such capital raised would not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and would not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration requirements. Further, any securities issued (or issuable) in connection with any such capital raise will likely result in very substantial dilution of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

The amount of capital required to be raised by the Company will be dependent upon a number of factors, including (i) whether or not the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated; (ii) our ability to increase Tralliance net revenue levels; (iii) our ability to control and reduce operating expenses; and (iv) our ability to successfully settle disputed and other outstanding liabilities related to our discontinued operations. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction will be consummated nor that the Company will be successful in raising a sufficient amount of capital, executing any of its current or future business plans or in continuing to operate as a going concern on a long-term basis.

The shares of our Common Stock were delisted from the NASDAQ national market in April 2001 and are now traded in the over-the-counter market on what is commonly referred to as the electronic bulletin board or “OTCBB.” Since the trading price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00 per share and our net tangible assets are less than $2.0 million, trading in our Common Stock is also subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act.. Under Rule 15g-9, brokers who recommend penny stocks to persons who are not established customers and accredited investors, as defined in the Exchange Act, must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including requirements that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser; and receive the purchaser's written consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also requires additional disclosures in connection with any trades involving a penny stock, including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with that market. Such requirements may severely limit the market liquidity of our Common Stock and the ability of purchasers of our equity securities to sell their securities in the secondary market. We may also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws if we sell equity due to our delisting.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

Due to relatively low levels of inflation in 2008 and 2007, inflation has not had a significant effect on our results of operations since inception.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, a significant portion of our net liabilities of discontinued operations relate to charges that have been disputed by the Company and for which estimates have been required. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. These include revenue recognition, valuation of receivables, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets and capitalization of computer software costs. Our accounting policies and procedures related to these areas are summarized below.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company’s revenue from continuing operations consists principally of registration fees for Internet domain registrations, which generally have terms of one year, but may be up to ten years. Such registration fees are reported net of transaction fees paid to an unrelated third party which serves as the registry operator for the Company. Net registration fee revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the registrations' terms.

18


VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Provisions for the allowance for doubtful accounts are made based on historical loss experience adjusted for specific credit risks. Measurement of such losses requires consideration of the Company's historical loss experience, judgments about customer credit risk, subsequent period collection activity and the need to adjust for current economic conditions.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company's long-lived assets primarily consist of property and equipment, capitalized costs of internal-use software, and values attributable to covenants not to compete.

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company and intangible assets with determinable lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." We evaluate recoverability of assets to be held and used by comparing the carrying amount of the assets, or the appropriate grouping of assets, to an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by the assets, or asset group. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair values are based on quoted market values, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value may be based on the discounted value of the estimated future cash flows attributable to the assets, or other valuation techniques deemed reasonable in the circumstances.

CAPITALIZATION OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE COSTS

The Company capitalizes the cost of internal-use software which has a useful life in excess of one year in accordance with Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." Subsequent additions, modifications, or upgrades to internal-use software are capitalized only to the extent that they allow the software to perform a task it previously did not perform. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Capitalized computer software costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected useful life, or three years.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”) which requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R requires, among other things, that in a business combination achieved through stages (sometimes referred to as a “step acquisition”) that the acquirer recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with this Statement).

SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual, which in most types of business combinations will result in measuring goodwill as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). This Statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented. SFAS 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. Currently, net income attributable to the non-controlling interest generally is reported as an expense or other deduction in arriving at consolidated net income. It also is often presented in combination with other financial statement amounts. SFAS 160 results in more transparent reporting of the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 expands the scope of what entities may carry at fair value by offering an irrevocable option to record many types of financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Changes in fair value would be recorded in an entity’s income statement. This accounting standard also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements that are intended to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

19


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting standards that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
  
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 permits existing public companies to initially apply its provisions either by (i) restating prior financial statements as if the “dual approach” had always been used or (ii) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the “dual approach” as adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Use of the “cumulative effect” transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which clarifies accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Tthe adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure (1) that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms, and (2) that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information regarding us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be included in our periodic reports to the SEC.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, and have determined there to be no reportable changes.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 6, "Litigation," of the Financial Statements included in this Report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information in this report and the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, the following factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business and prospects.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS GENERALLY

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

We have received a report from our independent accountants, relating to our December 31, 2007 audited financial statements containing an explanatory paragraph stating that our recurring losses from operations and our accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the reasons described below, Company management does not believe that cash on hand and cash flow generated internally by the Company will be adequate to fund the operation of its businesses beyond a short period of time. These reasons raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

20


During the year ended December 31, 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, the Company was able to continue operating as a going concern due principally to funding of $1.25 million received from the sale of secured convertible demand promissory notes to an entity controlled by Michael Egan, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Also, in December 2007, additional funding of $380 thousand was provided from the sale of all of the Company’s rights related to its www.search.travel domain name and website to an entity also controlled by Mr. Egan. At March 31, 2008, the Company had a net working capital deficit of approximately $9.9 million, inclusive of a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $336 thousand. Such working capital deficit included an aggregate of $4.65 million in secured convertible demand debt and related accrued interest of approximately $1.1 million and accounts payable totaling approximately $644 thousand due to entities controlled by Mr. Egan (See Note 7, “Related Party Transactions” in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details). Additionally, such working capital deficit included approximately $1.9 million of net liabilities of discontinued operations, with a significant portion of such liabilities related to charges which have been disputed by the Company.

Notwithstanding previous cost reduction actions taken by the Company and its decision to shutdown its unprofitable computer games and VoIP telephony services businesses in March 2007 (see Note 4, “Discontinued Operations” in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company continues to incur substantial consolidated net losses, although reduced in comparison with prior periods, and management believes that the Company will continue to be unprofitable in the foreseeable future. Based upon the Company’s current financial condition, as discussed above, and without the infusion of additional capital, management does not believe that the Company will be able to fund its operations beyond the end of May 2008.

As more fully discussed in Note 3, “Proposed Tralliance Transaction” in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on February 1, 2008, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to sell substantially all of the business and net assets of its Tralliance Corporation subsidiary and to issue approximately 269 million shares of its common stock to an entity controlled by Mr. Egan (the “Proposed Tralliance Transaction”). In the event that this Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated, all of the Company’s remaining secured and unsecured debt owed to entities controlled by Mr. Egan (which was approximately $5.7 million and $644 thousand at March 31, 2008, respectively) will be exchanged or cancelled. Additionally, the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction would also result in significant reductions in the Company’s cost structure, based upon the elimination of Tralliance’s operating expenses. Although substantially all of Tralliance’s revenue would also be eliminated, approximately 10% of Tralliance’s future net revenue through May 5, 2015 would essentially be retained through the contemplated net revenue earn-out provisions of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction. Additionally, the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction would increase Mr. Egan’s ownership in the Company to approximately 84% (assuming exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants) and would significantly dilute all other existing shareholders. The foregoing description is preliminary in nature and there may be significant changes between such preliminary terms and the terms of any final definitive purchase agreement.
 
Management expects that the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction will significantly reduce the amount of net losses currently being sustained by the Company. However, management does not believe that the consummation of the Proposed Tralliance Transaction will, in itself, allow the Company to become profitable and generate operating cash flows sufficient to fund its operations and pay its existing current liabilities (including those liabilities related to its discontinued operations) in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, assuming that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated, management believes that additional capital infusions (although reduced in comparison with the amounts of capital required during the Company’s recent past) will continue to be needed in order for the Company to continue to operate as a going concern.

In the event that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is not consummated, management expects that significantly more capital will need to be invested in the Company in the near term than would be required in the event that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated. Also, inasmuch as substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries secure the convertible demand debt owed to entities controlled by Mr. Egan, in connection with any resulting proceeding to collect this debt, such entities could seize and sell the assets of the Company and it subsidiaries, any or all of which would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and future operations of the Company, including the potential bankruptcy or cessation of business of the Company.

It is our preference to avoid filing for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. However, in order to continue operating as a going concern for any length of time beyond May 2008, we believe that we must quickly raise capital. Although there is no commitment to do so, any such funds would most likely come from Michael Egan or affiliates of Mr. Egan or the Company as the Company currently has no access to credit facilities with traditional third parties and has historically relied upon borrowings from related parties to meet short-term liquidity needs. Any such capital raised would not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and would not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration requirements. Further, any securities issued (or issuable) in connection with any such capital raise will likely result in very substantial dilution of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

21


The amount of capital required to be raised by the Company will be dependent upon a number of factors, including (i) whether or not the Proposed Tralliance Transaction is consummated; (ii) our ability to increase Tralliance net revenue levels; (iii) our ability to control and reduce operating expenses; and (iv) our ability to successfully settle disputed and other outstanding liabilities related to our discontinued operations. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Tralliance Transaction will be consummated nor that the Company will be successful in raising a sufficient amount of capital, executing any of its current or future business plans or in continuing to operate as a going concern on a long-term basis.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF NET LOSSES AND EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES.

Since our inception, we have incurred net losses each year and we expect that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We had net losses of approximately $549 thousand, $6.2 million and $17.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The principal causes of our losses are likely to continue to be:

·
costs resulting from the operation of our business;
  
·
failure to generate sufficient revenue; and
 
·
selling, general and administrative expenses.

Although we have restructured our businesses, including the discontinuance of the operations of our computer games and VoIP telephony services businesses, we still expect to continue to incur losses as we attempt to improve the performance and operating results of our Internet services business.

WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN SETTLING DISPUTED VENDOR CHARGES.

Our balance sheet at March 31, 2008 includes certain estimated liabilities related to disputed vendor charges incurred primarily as the result of the failure and subsequent shutdown of our discontinued VoIP telephony services business. The legal and administrative costs of resolving these disputed charges may be expensive and divert management’s attention from day-to-day operations. Although we are seeking to resolve and settle these disputed charges for amounts substantially less than recorded amounts, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in this regard. An adverse outcome in any of these matters could materially and adversely affect our financial position, utilize a significant portion of our cash resources and adversely affect our ability to continue to operate as a going concern. See Note 4, “Discontinued Operations” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for future details. 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

THE VOLUME OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE IN THE OPEN MARKET COULD DRIVE DOWN THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK OR KEEP OUR STOCK PRICE FROM IMPROVING, EVEN IF OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IMPROVES.

As of March 31, 2008, we had issued and outstanding approximately 172.5 million shares, of which approximately 88.7 million shares were freely tradable over the public markets. There is limited trading volume in our shares and we are now traded only in the over-the-counter market. Most of our outstanding restricted shares of Common Stock were issued more than one year ago and are therefore eligible to be resold over the public markets pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Sales of significant amounts of Common Stock in the public market in the future, the perception that sales will occur or the registration of additional shares pursuant to existing contractual obligations could materially and adversely drive down the price of our stock. In addition, such factors could adversely affect the ability of the market price of the Common Stock to increase even if our business prospects were to improve. Substantially all of our stockholders holding restricted securities, including shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants or the conversion of convertible notes to acquire our Common Stock (which are convertible into 193 million shares), have registration rights under various conditions and are or will become available for resale in the future.

In addition, as of March 31, 2008, there were outstanding options to purchase approximately 15.6 million shares of our Common Stock, which become eligible for sale in the public market from time to time depending on vesting and the expiration of lock-up agreements. The shares issuable upon exercise of these options are registered under the Securities Act and consequently, subject to certain volume restrictions as to shares issuable to executive officers, will be freely tradable.
 
Also as of March 31, 2008, we had issued and outstanding warrants to acquire approximately 16.9 million shares of our Common Stock.   Many of the outstanding instruments representing the warrants contain anti-dilution provisions pursuant to which the exercise prices and number of shares issuable upon exercise may be adjusted.

22


OUR CHAIRMAN MAY CONTROL US.

Michael S. Egan, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns or controls, directly or indirectly, approximately 274.7 million shares of our Common Stock as of March 31, 2008, which in the aggregate represents approximately 72.1% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock (treating as outstanding for this purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise and/or conversion of the options, convertible promissory notes and warrants owned by Mr. Egan or his affiliates). If the proposed sale of substantially all of the business and net assets of Tralliance and the issuance of approximately 269 million shares of the Company’s common stock to an entity controlled by Mr. Egan, is consummated, Mr. Egan’s beneficial ownership percentage would then be increased to approximately 84% of fully diluted shares outstanding (see Note 3, “Proposed Tralliance Transaction” in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details).   Accordingly, Mr. Egan will be able to exercise significant influence over, if not control, any stockholder vote.
