NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 The Company
PlanetOut Inc. (the Company) is a leading global media and entertainment company serving the
worldwide lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, or LGBT, community. The Company serves this
audience through a wide variety of media properties, including leading LGBT-focused websites, such
as Gay.com, PlanetOut.com, Advocate.com and Out.com, and magazines, such as The Advocate, Out, The
Out Traveler, and HIVPlus, among others. Through these media properties and other marketing
vehicles, such as live events, the Company generates revenue from a combination of advertising,
subscription and transaction services, including those obtained in the Companys acquisition in
November 2005 of LPI Media, Inc. and related entities (LPI). The Company also expanded the number
and scope of its subscription service offerings with this acquisition. In addition to premium
subscriptions on its Gay.com and PlanetOut.com services, the Company offers its customers
subscriptions to eight other online and offline products and services.
Through the Companys acquisition in March 2006 of RSVP Productions, Inc. (RSVP), the
Company also became a leading marketer of gay and lesbian travel and events, including cruises,
land tours and resort vacations. The Company also offers all its customers access to specialized
products and services through its transaction-based websites, including Kleptomaniac.com and
BuyGay.com, that generate revenue through sales of products and services of interest to the LGBT
community, including fashion, video and music products. The Company generates transaction revenue
from third-party websites and partners for the sale of products and services to its users as well
as through newsstand sales of its various print properties.
Note 2 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and
reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of
management are necessary to state fairly the financial position and the results of operations for
the interim periods. The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from audited financial
statements at that date. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but
omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Results of interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which the Company has been determined
to be the primary beneficiary. The Company recognizes minority interest for subsidiaries where it
owns less than 100% of the equity of the subsidiary. The recording of minority interest eliminates
a portion of operating results equal to the percentage of equity it does not own. The Company
discontinues allocating losses to the minority interest when the minority interest is reduced to
zero. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management 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 periods. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management
include, among others, the assessment of collectibility of accounts receivable, the determination
of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the determination of the reserve for inventory
obsolescence, the determination of the fair market value of its common stock, the valuation
and useful life of its capitalized software and long-lived assets and the valuation of deferred tax
asset balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash that is restricted as to future use by contractual agreements
associated with irrevocable letters of credit relating to a lease agreement for one of the
Companys offices in New York.
Page 6
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods held for sale and materials related to the production of
future publications such as editorial and artwork costs, books, paper, other publishing and novelty
products and shipping materials. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market. This
valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently-available information, about
the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product
vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category. The cost of
finished goods available for sale is determined on a weighted average cost method. The cost of
materials related to future production costs is determined on a first-in-first-out basis.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of their economic lives or lease term, generally ranging from two to seven years.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts
and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in the
period realized.
Leasehold improvements made by the Company and reimbursable by the landlord as tenant
incentives are recorded by the
Company as leasehold improvement assets and amortized over a term consistent with the above
guidance. The incentives from the landlord are recorded as deferred rent and amortized as
reductions to rent expense over the lease term. At December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, the
balance of these leasehold improvement allowances was $1,402,000. During the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company amortized $45,000 and $48,000, respectively, as a reduction of
rent expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. At
December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, the deferred rent balance attributable to these incentives
totaled $1,179,000 and $1,131,000, respectively. Future amortization of the balance of these tenant
incentives is estimated to be $145,000 for the nine remaining months of 2006, $194,000 each year
for 2007 to 2011, and $16,000 in 2012. At December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, the Company had
receivable balances for tenant incentives of $243,000 and zero, respectively, recorded under prepaid
expenses and other current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
Internal Use Software and Website Development Costs
The Company capitalizes internally developed software costs in accordance with the provisions
of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1,
Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (SOP 98-1) and
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Abstract No. 00-02, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs
(EITF 00-02). Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the software, generally three years, once it is available for its intended use. During the
three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company capitalized costs of $617,000 and $323,000,
respectively, and recorded $174,000 and $325,000 of related amortization expense, respectively. The
capitalized costs for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 included $399,000 and
$115,000, respectively, paid to external consultants for website development.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for goodwill using the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 142 (FAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FAS 142 requires
that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level
below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances.
The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test
involves comparing the fair value of the Companys reporting unit with the reporting units
carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair value of its
reporting unit using the expected present value of future cash flows, giving consideration to the
market comparable approach. If the carrying amount of the Companys reporting unit exceeds the
reporting units fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test.
The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the
Companys reporting units goodwill with the carrying amount of the units goodwill. If the
carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of its
goodwill, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess. The Company determined that it has one
reporting unit. The Company performed its annual test on December 1, 2005. The results of Step 1 of
the goodwill impairment analysis showed that goodwill was not impaired as the estimated market
value of its one reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. Accordingly, Step
2 was not performed. The Company will continue to test for impairment on an annual basis and on an
interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the
fair value of the Companys reporting unit below its carrying amounts.

Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenue is derived principally from the sale of premium online subscription
services, magazine subscriptions, banner and sponsorship advertisements, magazine advertisements
and transactions services. Premium online subscription services are generally for a period of one
month to two years. Premium online subscription services are generally paid for upfront by credit
card, subject to cancellations by subscribers or charge backs from transaction processors. Revenue,
net of estimated cancellations and charge backs, is recognized ratably over the service term. To
date, cancellations and charge backs have not been significant and have been within managements
expectations. The Company provides an estimated reserve for magazine subscription cancellations at
the time such subscription revenues are recorded. In January of 2006, the Company began offering
its customers premium online subscription services bundled with magazine subscriptions. In
accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF
00-21), the Company defers subscription revenue on bundled subscription service offerings based on
the pro-rata fair value of the individual premium online subscription services and magazine
subscriptions.
To date, the duration of the Companys banner advertising commitments has ranged from one week
to one year. Sponsorship advertising contracts have terms ranging from three months to two years
and also involve more integration with the Companys services, such as the placement of buttons
that provide users with direct links to the advertisers website. Advertising revenue on both
banner and sponsorship contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, provided
that no significant Company obligations remain at the end of a period and collection of the
resulting receivables is reasonably assured, at the lesser of the ratio of impressions delivered
over the total number of undertaken impressions or the straight-line basis. Company obligations
typically include undertakings to deliver a minimum number of impressions, or times that an
advertisement appears in pages viewed by users of the Companys online properties. To the extent
that these minimums are not met, the Company defers recognition of the corresponding revenue until
the minimums are achieved. Magazine advertising revenues are recognized, net of related agency
commissions, on the date the magazines are placed on sale at the newsstands. Revenues received for
advertisements in magazines to go on sale in future months are classified as deferred advertising
revenue.
Transaction service revenue generated from the sale of products held in inventory is
recognized when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns. The Company also earns
commissions for facilitating the sale of third party products and services which are recognized
when earned based on reports provided by third party vendors or upon cash receipt if no reports are
provided. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus
Net as an Agent, the revenue earned for facilitating the sale of third party merchandise is
reported net of cost as agent. This revenue is reported net due to the fact that though the Company
receives the order and collects money from buyer, the Company is under no obligation to make
payment to the third party unless payment has been received from the buyer and risk of return is
also borne by the third party. The Company
recognizes transaction service revenue from its event marketing and travel events services which
include cruises, land tours and resort vacations, together with revenues from onboard and other
activities and all associated direct costs of its event marketing and travel events services, upon
the completion of events with durations of ten nights or less and on a pro rata basis for events in
excess of ten nights.
Advertising
Costs related to advertising and promotion are charged to sales and marketing expense as
incurred except for direct-response advertising costs which are amortized over the expected life of
the subscription, typically a twelve month period. Direct-response advertising costs consist
primarily of production costs associated with direct-mail promotion of magazine subscriptions. As
of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, the balance of unamortized direct-response advertising
costs was $173,000 and $881,000, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other
current assets. Total advertising costs in the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 were
$734,000 and $911,000, respectively.
Equity Incentive Plans
The Company has equity incentive plans for directors, officers, employees and non-employees.
Stock options granted under these plans generally vest over two to four years, are generally
exercisable at the date of grant with unvested shares subject to repurchase by the Company and
expire within 10 years from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2006, the Company has reserved an
aggregate of approximately 3,300,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its equity incentive
plans.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(FAS 123R), that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an
enterprise receives employee services in exchange for equity instruments of the enterprise. The
statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions, as the
Company formerly did, using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 25,
Page 8
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally requires that
such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in
its consolidated statements of operations.
The Company adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method which requires the
application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. The Companys consolidated financial
statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 reflect the impact of adopting FAS
123R. In accordance with the modified prospective method, the consolidated financial statements for
prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of FAS 123R.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the
portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation
expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months
ended March 31, 2006 included compensation expense for stock-based payment awards granted prior to,
but not yet vested, as of December 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation
Transition and Disclosure (as amended) (FAS 148) and compensation expense for the stock-based
payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with FAS 123R. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the
statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 is based on awards ultimately
expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. FAS 123R requires forfeitures to
be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the pro forma information required under FAS 148 for
the periods prior to 2006, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. In anticipation of the
impact of adopting FAS 123R, the Company accelerated the vesting of approximately 720,000 shares
subject to outstanding stock options in December 2005. The primary purpose of the acceleration of
vesting was to minimize the amount of compensation expense recognized in relation to the options in
future periods following the adoption by the Company of FAS 123R. Since the Company accelerated
these shares, the impact of adopting FAS 123R was not material, to date, to the Companys results
of operations.
Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company provided the disclosures required under FAS
123, as amended by FAS 148. Employee stock-based compensation expense recognized under FAS 123R
was not reflected in the Companys results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005
for employee stock option awards that were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value
of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Prior to adopting FAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the
exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in its statement of cash flows. FAS 123R requires
cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits to be classified as a part of cash flows from
financing activities. Excess tax benefits are realized tax benefits from tax deductions for
exercised options in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock compensation costs for
such options. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company has not recognized a
material amount of excess tax benefits for deductions of disqualifying dispositions of such
options.

The Companys computation of expected volatility for the first quarter of 2006 is based
on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility from other equities comparable
to the Companys stock. The Companys computation of expected life in 2006 was determined based on
historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the
stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The interest
rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve
in effect at the time of grant.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price
of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock for the 1,986,000 options that
were in the money at March 31, 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the aggregate
intrinsic value of options exercised under our stock option plans was approximately $280,000. As
of March 31, 2006, there was approximately, $241,000 of total unrecognized compensation related to
unvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Companys equity incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted- average
period of four years.
A summary of the status and changes of the Companys unvested shares related to its equity
incentive plans as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2006 is presented below (in

Restricted Stock Grant
In January 2006, the Company granted 2,500 shares of restricted stock to a certain employee at
no cost to the employee. Each restricted stock share represents one share of the Companys common
stock, with the same voting and dividend rights as the Companys other outstanding common stock.
The restricted stock shares vest over a period of four years with 25% vested on the anniversary
date of the grant and 1/48th vesting each month thereafter. Unearned stock-based
compensation related to the restricted shares is determined based on the fair value of the
Companys stock on the date of grant, which was approximately $21,000 and will be amortized to
expense over the vesting period of which approximately $1,000 was recognized during the three
months ended March 31, 2006.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss)
per share gives effect to all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net
income (loss) per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities
that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock
options and warrants is computed using the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in
thousands, except per share amounts):

Segment Reporting
The
Company operates in one segment in accordance with FAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information, (FAS 131). Although the chief operating decision maker
does review revenue results across the three revenue streams of advertising, subscription and
transaction services, financial reporting is consistent with the Companys method of internal
reporting where the chief operating decision maker evaluates,
assesses performance and makes decisions on the allocation of resources at a consolidated
results of operations level. The Company has no operating managers reporting to the chief operating
decision maker over components of the enterprise for which the separate financial information of
revenue, results of operations and assets is available. Additionally, all business units that meet
the quantitative thresholds of the standard also meet the aggregation criteria of the standard as
well.
Event Marketing
In January 2006, the Companys subsidiary, PNO DSW Events, LLC, a joint venture, began its
event marketing business. The subsidiary plans to market events which include a number of
sub-events that occur over specific periods of four to eight days. EITF 00-21 addresses certain
aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple
revenue-generating activities and how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple
deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. The Companys revenue recognition policies
are in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, EITF 99-19,
Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, EITF 00-21 and EITF 01-14, Income
Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred. For
the purposes of EITF 00-21, the Company considers the sub-events as part of a single accounting
unit and recognizes the revenue and related direct costs upon completion of the final sub-event of
the accounting unit.
Recognition of revenues and expenses are deferred until completion of the final sub-event of
the respective defined accounting unit. As of March 31, 2006, the Company has recorded deferred
revenue of $170,000 related to event marketing and $193,000 of prepaid direct costs of event
marketing included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Variable Interest Entities
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation
No. 46 (revised December 2003) (FIN 46-R),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which
addresses accounting and disclosure requirements for variable interest entities (VIEs). FIN 46-R
defines a VIE as a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, or any other legal
structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting or
similar rights sufficient to enable such investors to make decisions about an entitys activities
or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources to support the
entities activities without additional financial support from other parties. FIN 46-R requires a
VIE to be consolidated by a company if the company is subject to, among other things, a majority of
the risk or residual returns of the VIE. A company that consolidates a VIE is referred to as the
primary beneficiary under FIN 46-R. In addition, FIN 46-R requires disclosure, but not
consolidation, of those entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary but has a
significant variable interest. The consolidation and disclosure provisions of FIN 46-R became
effective for reporting periods ending after March 15, 2004.
Management has reviewed its operations to determine the entities that the Company is required
to consolidate under FIN 46-R. As a result of this review, the Company has determined that its
interest in PNO DSW Events, LLC, a joint venture, qualifies as a variable interest entity as
defined in FIN 46-R and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the joint venture. The
Company entered into the joint venture in January 2006. Under the terms of the joint venture
agreement, the Company contributed an initial investment of $250,000 and acquired a 50% interest in
the joint venture. Accordingly, the financial statements of the joint venture
Page 12
have been
consolidated into the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. The creditors of the
joint venture have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. At March 31, 2006, accumulated
losses associated with the minority interest have reduced the minority interest to zero on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with excess losses attributable to the minority interest
amounting to $48,000 included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued FAS No. 154 (FAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FAS No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the
accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FAS 154 in the three months ended
March 31, 2006 did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations, liquidity or
capital resources.
Note 3 Business Combinations, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
RSVP Productions Inc. Acquisition
In March 2006, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of RSVP, a leading
marketer of gay and lesbian travel and events, including cruises, land tours and resort vacations,
for a cash purchase price of approximately $6,645,000. The purchase agreement entitles RSVP to
receive potential additional earn-out payments of up to $3,000,000 based on certain revenue and net
income milestones for each of the years ending December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. These
earn-out payments, if any, will be paid no later than March 15, 2008 and March 15, 2009,
respectively, and may be paid in either cash or shares of the common
stock of the Company, at
the Companys discretion.

Adjustments to goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2006 resulted primarily
from purchase price adjustments related to transaction costs and deferred revenue.
In accordance with FAS 142, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for
impairment, applying a fair-value based test. The Company conducts its annual impairment test as of
December 1 of each year. Based on the Companys last impairment test as of December 1, 2005, the
Company determined there was no impairment. There were no events or circumstances from that date
through March 31, 2006 indicating that a further assessment was necessary.

Note 5 Related Party Transaction
In May 2001, the Company issued a promissory note to an executive of the Company for $603,000
to fund the purchase of Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock. The principal and interest
were due and payable in May 2006. Interest accrued at a rate of 8.5% per annum or the maximum rate
permissible by law, whichever was less and was full recourse. The note was full recourse with
respect to $24,000 in principal payment and the remainder of the principal was non-recourse. The
note was collateralized by the shares of common stock and options owned by the executive. Interest
income of $13,000 and $9,000 was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006,
respectively. In March 2006, the executive repaid the Company approximately $843,000, representing
approximately $603,000 in principal and approximately $240,000 in accrued interest, fully
satisfying the repayment obligations.
Note 6 Notes Payable
In November 2004, the Company entered into a software maintenance agreement under which
$332,000 was financed with a vendor. This amount is payable in seven quarterly installments
beginning in January 2005. The remaining payments due in 2006 of $95,000 are included in notes
payable, current portion.
In November 2005, the Company issued a note payable in connection with its acquisition of the
assets of LPI in the amount of $7,075,000 to the sellers, secured by the assets of SpecPub, Inc. (a
subsidiary of the Company established to hold certain such assets) and payable in three equal
installments of $2,358,000 in May, August and November 2007. The note bears interest at a rate of
10% per year, payable quarterly and in arrears. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the
Company recorded interest expense on the note of $177,000 in the consolidated statements of
operations.
In December 2005, the Company entered into a payment plan agreement with a vendor to finance a
purchase of system software in the amount of $82,000. This amount is payable in four quarterly
installments beginning in January 2006. As of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, $82,000 and
$63,000, respectively, is included in notes payable, current portion.
Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies
Deposit Commitments
The Company enters into leasing agreements with cruise lines which establish varying deposit
commitments as part of the lease agreement prior to the commencement
of the leased voyage. At March 31, 2006, the Company had deposits on leased voyages of $2,618,000 included in prepaid expenses and other
current assets and commitments for future deposits of $17,683,000.
Contingencies
The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. The Company may from
time to time, however, become a party to various legal proceedings, arising in the ordinary course
of business. The Company may also be indirectly affected by administrative or court proceedings or
actions in which the Company is not involved but which have general applicability to the Internet
industry. The Company is currently involved in the matter discussed below. However, the Company
does not believe, based on current knowledge, that this matter is likely to have a material adverse
effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2002, the Company was notified that DIALINK, a French company, had filed a lawsuit in
France against it and its French subsidiary, alleging that the Company had improperly used the
domain names Gay.net, Gay.com and fr.gay.com in France, as DIALINK alleges that it has exclusive
rights to use the word gay as a trademark in France. On June 30, 2005, the French court found
that although the Company had not infringed DIALINKs trademark, it had damaged DIALINK through
unfair competition.
Page 16
The Court ordered the Company to pay damages of 50,000 (US $60,000 at March
31, 2006), half to be paid notwithstanding appeal, the other half to be paid after appeal. The
Court also enjoined the Company from using gay as a domain name for its services in France. In
October 2005, the Company paid half the damage awarded as required by the court order and
temporarily changed the domain name of its French website, from www.fr.gay.com to www.ooups.com, a
domain name it has used previously in France. The Company has accrued the full damage award and in
January 2006 appealed the French courts decision.
Note 8 Subsequent Event
On April 25, 2006, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC
for up to $75.0 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants to be
sold from time to time at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time of
offering. In addition, under the shelf registration statement some of the Companys stockholders
may sell up to 1.7 million shares of the Companys common stock.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
related notes which appear elsewhere in this document. This discussion contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology including would, could, may, will, should, expect, intend,
plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential or continue, the negative of
these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Forward-looking
statements include statements about our business strategy, future operating performance and
prospects. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this document and in
our Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Overview
We are a leading global media and entertainment company serving the worldwide lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Our products and services, including travel events
from RSVP Productions, Inc. (RSVP), and our network of media properties, including our flagship websites Gay.com and
PlanetOut.com, and The Advocate and Out magazines, allow our members to connect with and learn
about other members of the LGBT community around the world.
With our November 2005 acquisition of substantially all of the assets of LPI Media Inc. and
related entities (LPI), we expanded the number and scope of our subscription service offerings.
In addition to premium subscriptions to our Gay.com and PlanetOut.com services, we offer our
customers subscriptions to eight other online and offline products and services, as well as to
various combined, or bundled, packages of these subscription services, including the leading
LGBT-targeted magazines in the United States, Out and The Advocate. We believe Out magazine is the
leading audited circulation magazine in the United States focused on the gay and lesbian community,
while The Advocate, a pioneer in LGBT media since 1967, is the second largest. We believe these,
and other properties acquired from LPI, allow us to better serve our business and consumer
customers by expanding the platforms and content that we can provide them and to more
cost-effectively promote our own products and services.
On March 4, 2006, we completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of RSVP
for approximately $6.6 million and assumed liabilities, plus
reimbursement of prepaid expenses, and up to $3.0 million in additional consideration payable upon
achievement of financial performance targets for 2007 and 2008. RSVP is a leading marketer of gay
and lesbian travel and events, including cruises, land tours and resort vacations. Through RSVP, we
will be able to offer specialized travel and event packages to the LGBT market. Typically, RSVP
develops travel itineraries on land, at resorts, and on cruises, by contracting with third-parties
who provide the basic travel services. To these basic services, RSVP frequently adds additional
programming elements, such as special entertainers, parties and events, and markets these enhanced
vacation packages to the gay and lesbian audience.
These acquisitions support our strategic plan of building a diversified global media and
entertainment company serving the LGBT community, growing our revenue base and diversifying our
revenue mix among advertising services, subscription services and transaction services.
Although we had positive net income in the year ended December 31, 2005, we had a net loss of
$132,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and we have incurred significant losses since
our inception. As of March 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $34.7 million. We expect to
incur significant marketing, engineering and technology, and general and administrative expenses
for the foreseeable future. As a result, we will need to continue to grow revenue and increase our
operating margins to regain and expand our profitability.

Our total revenue was $17.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006, increasing 164%
above total revenue of $6.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005, due to the
incremental effect of the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP and growth of advertising services.
Total operating costs and expenses were $17.7 million, 166% above operating costs and expenses
of $6.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005. This change was primarily due to the
incremental effect of the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP and increases in expenses associated with
increases in headcount and salaries, marketing expenses, reporting and compliance expenses,
occupancy expenses related to the expansion of our corporate headquarters in January 2006 and acquisition-related expenses.
Loss from operations was $105,000, compared to income from operations of $16,000 in the three
months ended March 31, 2005, reflecting higher stock-based compensation and expenses related to the
acquisition and integration of LPI and RSVP, and the effect of the international gratis campaign, a
program we instituted in October 2005 whereby we offer our online premium services free of charge
for a limited time in some international markets in an effort to develop critical mass in those
markets.
Management anticipates that revenue will continue to increase for the remainder of fiscal
2006, primarily as a result of our planned international expansion and due to the
anticipated incremental effects of the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
We expect our operating income will increase for the remainder of fiscal 2006 as we realize
additional operating efficiencies through the integration of our acquired businesses. For the
remainder of 2006, we anticipate that these gains in operating efficiencies will continue to be
partially offset by non-recurring acquisition and business integration costs, higher sales and
marketing expenses
Page 19
associated with the expansion of our international businesses and higher
depreciation and amortization related to the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
Revenue
Advertising Services. We had advertising services revenue of $5.3 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 284% from the three months ended March 31, 2005. This
improvement was due, in part, to growth of the general online advertising industry, deeper
penetration into key advertising categories, growth of our subscriber base and the incremental
effect of the acquisition of LPI. Advertising services revenue accounted for 30% of revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 2006, up from 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
For the remainder of fiscal 2006, we expect advertising services revenue to continue to
increase over fiscal 2005, in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of our overall revenue as a
result of both our planned growth and the effects of the acquisition of LPI.
Subscription Services. Our subscription services revenue was $6.3 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 29% from the three months ended March 31, 2005, due to the
incremental effect of the acquisition of LPI. For the three months ended March 31, 2006,
subscription services revenue accounted for 36% of revenue, down from 73% for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 as a result of the higher growth rate of our advertising services, the
international gratis campaign, and the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
For the remainder of fiscal 2006, we expect subscription services revenue to increase over
fiscal 2005, supported by service enhancements, new product and service introductions, and
increased marketing. At the same time, however, we expect the percentage of our overall revenue
attributable to subscription services to decrease as a result of even higher growth in our
advertising and transaction service lines associated, in part, with the acquisitions of LPI and
RSVP.
Transaction Services. Our transaction services revenue totaled $6.0 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 1,318% from the three months ended March 31, 2005,
primarily due to the incremental effect of the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP. Transaction services
revenue accounted for 34% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006, up from 6% for the
three months ended March 31, 2005.
Transaction services revenue includes products and services of interest to the LGBT community,
including travel and event packages. The travel and event marketing business has long lead times,
and revenue is recorded when cruises or events are delivered. Our transaction services revenue will
fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending upon the timing of scheduled cruises and events. For
the remainder of fiscal 2006, we expect transaction services revenue to increase over fiscal 2005,
and the percentage of our revenue attributable to transaction services revenue to increase as a
result of the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue was $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006, an
increase of 344% from the three months ended March 31, 2005 due to LPI print production costs,
increases in employee headcount and salaries, higher occupancy expenses related to the expansion of
our corporate headquarters and the incremental effect of the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP. Cost of
revenue was 54% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006, up from
32% in the three months ended March 31, 2005 due to the incremental effect of the acquisitions of
LPI and RSVP and an increase in product engineering expenses in support of our product development
efforts.
For the remainder of fiscal 2006, we expect cost of revenue to increase over fiscal 2005 as we
continue to invest in human resources and other areas in support of our strategic growth plan, and
due to the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP. We expect the percentage of our revenue attributable to
cost of revenue to increase for the remainder of 2006 as a result of the shift in our revenue mix
resulting from the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $3.9 million in the three months ended
March 31, 2006, an increase of 61% from the three months ended March 31, 2005, due to increases in
marketing promotions for the subscription services businesses, increases in employee headcount and
salaries, higher occupancy expenses related to the expansion of our corporate headquarters and the
incremental effect of the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP. Sales and marketing expenses as a
percentage of revenue were 22% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, down from 37% in the
three months ended March 31, 2005 as a result of improving operating leverage and the effect of the
acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
For the remainder of fiscal 2006, we expect sales and marketing expenses to increase over
fiscal 2005 as we continue to invest in marketing activities, particularly in support of our
international expansion efforts, and due to the incremental costs of selling and
Page 20
marketing the LPI and RSVP products and services. We expect the percentage of our revenue attributable to sales and
marketing to decrease as we begin to leverage operating synergies from our historical business and
our acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
General
and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were
$3.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 147% from the three
months ended March 31, 2005, due to
the incremental effect of the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP, higher expenses associated with
increased reporting and compliance requirements, higher insurance and risk management expenses,
integration and other expenses associated with the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP and higher
occupancy expenses related to the expansion of our corporate headquarters. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 18% for the three months ended March 31,
2006, down from 19% in the three months ended March 31, 2005, as a result of the effect of the
acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
For the remainder of fiscal 2006, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase
over fiscal 2005 as we continue to invest in human resources in support of our strategic growth
plan and incur expenses associated with the integration of LPI and RSVP. We expect the percentage
of our revenue attributable to general and administrative expenses to decrease as we continue to
manage our expenses, see improved economies of scale and scope across multiple products, services
and geographies, and begin to leverage operating synergies from our acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 49% from the three months ended March 31, 2005,
due primarily to an increase in the amortization of intangible assets associated with the
acquisitions of LPI and RSVP and increased capital expenditures to support our on-going product
development and compliance efforts. Amortization of intangible assets was $0.3 million due to
intangible assets which we capitalized in connection with the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP.
Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue was 7% for the three months ended March
31, 2006, down from 12% in the three months ended March 31, 2005.
For the remainder of fiscal 2006, we expect depreciation and amortization expense will
increase materially over fiscal 2005 as a result of the acquisitions of LPI and RSVP and capital
investments to support our strategic growth plan.
Other Income and Expenses
Equity in Net Loss of Unconsolidated Affiliate. We recorded a net loss of unconsolidated
affiliate of $9,000 for our 45% interest in Gay.it S.p.A. for the three months ended March 31,
2005. Our investment in this unconsolidated affiliate was reduced to zero as of December 31, 2005.
Interest Expense. Our interest expense was $197,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006,
an increase of 418% from the three months ended March 31, 2005, primarily as a result of the
issuance of the note payable in connection with the acquisition of LPI.
Other Income, Net. Our other income, net was $170,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2006, a decrease of 29%, primarily due to decreased interest income during the three months ended
March 31, 2006 on our lower cash balance as a result of the acquisitions of LPI in November 2005
and RSVP in March 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations primarily through public and private sales of
equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, net cash used in operating activities was
$2.0 million, and was primarily attributable to a decrease in deferred revenue and our net loss
for the period, partially offset by non-cash charges related to depreciation and amortization
expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, net cash used by operating activities was
$97,000, and was primarily attributable to cash provided by operating activities, offset by the
presence of one-time expenses related to registration fees and other requirements of our first
quarter as a publicly listed company.
Net cash used in investing activities was $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006, and was primarily attributable to the acquisition of RSVP and purchases of property and
equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended March
31, 2005, and was attributable to purchases of property and equipment. While we expect to continue
to invest in development and infrastructure in 2006, we also expect to be able to realize tenant
improvement allowances associated with the move of our corporate headquarters in the third quarter
of 2004.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.9
million and was primarily attributable to the repayment of a note receivable from a stockholder.
Net cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $145,000 and was
primarily attributable to payments of capital lease obligations and notes payable offset by
proceeds from the exercise of common stock and stock options and warrants. As of March 31, 2006, we
had cash and cash equivalents
Page 21
of approximately $11.3 million.
On November 8, 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets of LPI for a purchase price
of approximately $32.6 million which consisted of $24.9 million paid in cash and approximately $7.1
million in the form of a note to the sellers secured by the assets of SpecPub, Inc. and payable in
three equal installments in May, August and November 2007, and the reimbursement of certain prepaid
and other expenses of approximately $0.6 million.
On March 4, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of RSVP for a purchase price of
approximately $6.6 million. The purchase agreement entitles RSVP to receive potential additional
earn-out payments of up to $3.0 million payable upon certain revenue and net income milestones for
each of the years ending December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. These earn-out payments, if any, will be paid no later than March 15, 2008 and March 15, 2009, respectively,
and may be paid in either cash or shares of our common stock, at our discretion.
Our capital requirements depend on many factors, including growth of our revenue, the
resources we devote to developing, marketing and selling our services, the timing and extent of our
introduction of new features and services, the extent and timing of potential investments or
acquisitions and other factors. In particular, our premium membership services consist of prepaid
subscriptions that provide cash flows in advance of the actual provision of services. We expect to
devote substantial capital resources to expand our product development and marketing efforts, to
expand internationally, to complete acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances and for
other general corporate activities.
Based on our current operations and planned growth, we expect that our available funds and
anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our expected needs for working
capital and capital expenditures for the next twelve months. If we do not have sufficient cash
available to finance our operations or potential additional acquisitions, we may be required to
obtain additional public or private debt or equity financing. We cannot be certain that additional
financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required or at all. If we are unable to
raise sufficient funds, we may need to reduce our planned operations and expansion activities. On
April 25, 2006, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for up to $75.0 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities
and/or warrants to be sold from time to time at prices and on terms to be determined by market
conditions at the time of offering. In addition, under the shelf registration statement some of our
stockholders may sell up to 1.7 million shares of our common stock.
Off-balance Sheet Liabilities
We did not have any off-balance sheet liabilities as of March 31, 2006.

Capital Lease Obligations. We hold property and equipment under noncancelable capital
leases with varying maturities.
Operating Leases. We lease or sublease office space and equipment under cancelable and
noncancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through January 20, 2012.
Purchase Obligations. In December 2005, we entered into a co-location facility agreement with
a third-party service provider. In exchange for providing space for our network servers and
committed levels of telecommunications bandwidth, we pay a minimum
Page 22
monthly fee of $34,000. In the event that bandwidth exceeds allowed variance from committed
levels, we pay for additional bandwidth at a set monthly rate.
Deposit Commitments. We enter into leasing agreements with cruise lines which establish
varying deposit commitments as part of the lease agreement prior to the commencement of the leased
voyage.
Notes payable. In November 2004, we entered into a software maintenance agreement under which
we financed $332,000 with a vendor. This amount is payable in seven quarterly installments
beginning in January 2005. Future total minimum payments under this agreement are $95,000 for the
remainder of 2006.
In November 2005, we issued a note payable in connection with our acquisition of the assets of
LPI in the amount of $7,075,000, secured by the assets of SpecPub, Inc. and payable in three equal
installments of $2,358,000 in May, August and November 2007. The note bears interest at a rate of
10% per year, payable quarterly and in arrears. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we
recorded interest expense on the note of $177,000.
In December 2005, we entered into a payment plan agreement with a vendor to finance a purchase
of system software in the amount of $82,000. This amount is payable in four quarterly installments
beginning in January 2006. Future minimum payments, including interest, are $68,000 for the
remainder of 2006.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis on which we
make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Because this can vary in each situation, actual results may differ from the
estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Except with respect to changes in the manner in which we account for share-based compensation,
as discussed below, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies from
those listed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Stock-based compensation. We have granted stock options to employees and non-employee
directors. We recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments granted after December
31, 2005 and prior to but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R).
Under the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123R, we recognize stock-based compensation net
of an estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to
vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award (normally the vesting
period). Prior to FAS 123R adoption, we accounted for stock-based payments under Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). In
anticipation of the impact of adopting FAS 123R, we accelerated the vesting of approximately
720,000 shares subject to outstanding stock options in December 2005. The primary purpose of the
acceleration of vesting was to minimize the amount of compensation expense recognized in relation
to the options in future periods following the adoption by us of FAS 123R. Since we accelerated
these shares and adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method, we did not record any
one-time charges relating to the transition to FAS 123R and the consolidated financial statements
for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include any impact of FAS 123R. As
a result of FAS 123R, we expect to award restricted stock units or other compensation in lieu of or
in addition to stock options.
As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately, $241,000 of total unrecognized compensation
related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under our equity incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period
of four years.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based
payment awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of
the stock-based payment awards and stock price volatility. We use the Black-Scholes model to value
our stock option awards. Management uses an estimate of future volatility for our stock based on
our historical volatility and the volatilities of comparable companies. The assumptions used in
calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but
these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a
result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation
expense
Page 23
could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the
expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If the
actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the estimate, stock-based compensation expense
could be significantly different from what has been recorded in the current period. See Note 2 of
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on
stock-based compensation.
Seasonality and Inflation
We anticipate that our business may be affected by the seasonality of certain revenue lines.
For example, print and online advertising buys are usually higher approaching year-end and lower at
the beginning of a new year than at other points during the year, and sales on Kleptomaniac.com are
affected by the holiday season and by the timing of the release of compilations of new seasons of
popular television series and feature films.
Inflation has not had a significant effect on our revenue or expenses historically and we do
not expect it to be a significant factor in the short-term. However, inflation may affect our
business in the medium- to long-term. In particular, our operating expenses may be affected by a
tightening of the job market, resulting in increased pressure for salary adjustments for existing
employees and higher cost of replacement for employees that are terminated or resign.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 (FAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FAS No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the
accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. FAS 154 is effective for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005. The adoption of FAS 154 in the three months ended March 31, 2006 did not have a material
effect on our results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same
time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we
maintain our portfolio in primarily money market funds.
We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign
exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts
receivable, accounts payable and long-term obligations. We consider investments in highly-liquid
instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be
cash equivalents. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to
our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates may
have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. A hypothetical 1% increase or
decrease in interest rates would increase (decrease) our earnings or loss by approximately $23,000
per quarter.
Our operations have been conducted primarily in United States currency and as such have not
been subject to material foreign currency exchange rate risk. However, the growth in our
international operations is increasing our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations as well as
other risks typical of international operations, including, but not limited to differing economic
conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures and other regulations and
restrictions. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in
these or other factors. We translate income statement amounts that are denominated in foreign
currency into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent
the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency
denominated transactions results in increased net revenue, operating expenses and net income.
Conversely, our net revenue, operating expenses and net income will decrease when the U.S. dollar
strengthens against foreign currencies. The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations for 2005
and the first three months of 2006 were not material.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the required disclosure
information in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported timely as
specified by SEC rules and forms, and that such information is communicated in a timely manner to
our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and
procedures as of March 31, 2006 under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluding that disclosure
controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level based upon that evaluation.
Page 24
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We acquired substantially all the assets of RSVP Productions, Inc. on March 4, 2006. The
processes and systems of this acquisition were discrete and did not significantly impact internal
controls over financial reporting at our other businesses during the three months ended March 31,
2006.
There were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the
quarter ended March 31, 2006, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially
affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In April 2002, we were notified that DIALINK, a French company, had filed a lawsuit in France
against us and our French subsidiary, alleging that we had improperly used the domain names
Gay.net, Gay.com and fr.gay.com in France, as DIALINK alleges that it has exclusive rights to use
the word gay as a trademark in France. On June 30, 2005, the French court found that although we
had not infringed DIALINKs trademark, we had damaged DIALINK through unfair competition. The Court
ordered us to pay damages of 50,000 (US $60,000 at March 31, 2006), half to be paid
notwithstanding appeal, the other half to be paid after appeal. The Court also enjoined us from
using gay as a domain name for our services in France. In October 2005, we paid half the damage
award as required by the court order and temporarily changed the domain name of our French website,
from www.fr.gay.com to www.ooups.com, a domain name we have used previously in France. This
temporary change may make it more difficult for French users to locate our French website. We have
accrued the full damage award and, in January 2006, appealed the French courts decision.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We have a history of significant losses. If we do not sustain profitability, our financial
condition and stock price could suffer.
We have experienced significant net losses and we may continue to incur losses in the future
given our anticipated increase in sales and marketing expenditures. As of March 31, 2006, our
accumulated deficit was approximately $34.7 million. Although we had positive net income in the
year ended December 31, 2005, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability in the near
future, causing our financial condition to suffer and our stock price to decline.
If our efforts to attract and retain subscribers are not successful, our revenue will decrease.
Because the largest portion of our revenue is derived from our subscription services, we must
continue to attract and retain subscribers. Many of our new subscribers originate from
word-of-mouth referrals from existing subscribers within the LGBT community. If our subscribers do
not perceive our service offerings or publications to be of high quality or sufficient breadth, if
we introduce new services or publications that are not favorably received or if we fail to
introduce compelling new content or features or enhance our existing offerings, we may not be able
to attract new subscribers or retain our current subscribers.
Our current online content, shopping and personals platforms may not allow us to maximize
potential cross-platform synergies and may not provide the most effective platform from which to
launch new or improve current services for our members. If there is a delay in our plan to improve
and consolidate these platforms, and this delay prevents or delays the development or integration
of new features or enhancements to existing features, our subscriber growth could slow. As a
result, our revenue would decrease. Our base of likely potential subscribers is also limited to
members of the LGBT community, who collectively comprise a small portion of the general adult
population.
While seeking to add new subscribers, we must also minimize the loss of existing subscribers.
We lose our existing subscribers primarily as a result of cancellations and credit card failures
due to expirations or exceeded credit limits. Subscribers cancel their subscription to our services
for many reasons, including a perception, among some subscribers, that they do not use the service
sufficiently, that the service or publication is a poor value and that customer service issues are
not satisfactorily resolved. We also believe that online customer satisfaction has suffered as a
result of the presence in the chat rooms of our websites of adbots, which are software programs
that create a member registration profile, enter a chat room and display third-party
advertisements. Online members may decline to subscribe or existing online subscribers may cancel
their subscriptions if our websites experience a disruption or degradation of services, including
slow response times or excessive down time due to scheduled or unscheduled hardware or software
maintenance or denial of service attacks. We must continually add new subscribers both to replace
subscribers who cancel or whose subscriptions are not renewed due to credit card failures and to
continue to grow our business beyond our current subscriber
Page 25
base. If excessive numbers of subscribers cancel their subscription, we may be required to
incur significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate in order to replace
canceled subscribers with new subscribers, which will harm our financial condition.
Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business.
As a result of our recent growth and limited operating history, it is difficult to forecast
our revenue, gross profit, operating expenses and other financial and operating data. Our
inability, or the inability of the financial community at large, to accurately forecast our
operating results could cause us to grow slower or our net profit to be smaller than expected,
which could cause a decline in our stock price.
We expect our operating results to fluctuate, which may lead to volatility in our stock price.
Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the
future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, we
believe that period-over-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful
and that you should not rely on the results of one period as an indication of our future or
long-term performance. Our operating results in future quarters may be below the expectations of
public market analysts and investors, which may result in a decline in our stock price. In
particular, with the acquisition of RSVP in March 2006, our operating results could be impacted by
the long lead times in the cruise industry, and may fluctuate significantly due to the timing and
success of cruises we book.
If we fail to manage our growth, our business will suffer.
We have significantly expanded our operations and anticipate that further expansion will be
required to address current and future growth in our customer base and market opportunities. Our
expansion has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on our
technological infrastructure, management, operational and financial resources. If we continue to
expand our marketing efforts, we may expend cash and create additional expenses, including
additional investment in our technological infrastructure, which might harm our financial condition
or results of operations. If despite such additional investments our technological infrastructure
is unable to keep pace with our online subscriber and member growth, members using our online
services may experience degraded performance and our online subscriber growth could slow and our
revenue may decline.
If we are unable to successfully expand our international operations, our business will
suffer.
We offer services and products to the LGBT community outside the United States, and we intend
to continue to expand our international presence, which may be difficult or take longer than
anticipated especially due to international challenges, such as language barriers, currency
exchange issues and the fact that the Internet infrastructure in foreign countries may be less
advanced than Internet infrastructure in the United States. In October 2005, we began offering our
online premium services free of charge for a limited time in some international markets in an
effort to develop critical mass in those markets. Expansion into international markets requires
significant resources that we may fail to recover by generating additional revenue.
If we are unable to successfully expand our international operations, if our limited time
offer of free online premium services to some international markets fails to develop critical mass
in those markets, or if critical mass is achieved in those markets and members are then unwilling
to pay for our online premium services after the limited time offer of free premium services ends,
our revenue may decline and our profit margins will be reduced.
Recent and potential future acquisitions could result in operating difficulties and unanticipated
liabilities.
In November 2005, we significantly expanded our operations by acquiring substantially all of
the assets of LPI. In March 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of RSVP. In order to
address market opportunities and potential growth in our customer base, we anticipate additional
expansion in the future, including possible additional acquisitions of third-party assets,
technologies or businesses. Such acquisitions may involve the issuance of shares of stock that
dilute the interests of our other stockholders, or require us to expend cash, incur debt or assume
contingent liabilities. Our recent acquisitions of LPI and RSVP and other potential future
acquisitions may be associated with a number of risks, including:
|
|
|
the difficulty of integrating the acquired assets and personnel of the acquired businesses into our operations; |
|
|
|
|
the potential absorption of significant management attention and significant financial resources for the ongoing
development of our business; |
|
|
|
|
the potential impairment of relationships with and difficulty in attracting and retaining employees of the
acquired companies or |
Page 26
|
|
|
our employees as a result of the integration of acquired businesses; |
|
|
|
|
the difficulty of integrating the acquired companys accounting, human resources and other administrative systems; |
|
|
|
|
the potential impairment of relationships with subscribers, customers and partners of the acquired companies or
our subscribers, customers and partners as a result of the integration of acquired businesses; |
|
|
|
|
the difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified management to lead the combined businesses; |
|
|
|
|
the potential difficulties associated with entering new lines of business with which we have little experience,
such as some of the businesses we have acquired from LPI and RSVP; |
|
|
|
|
the difficulty of complying with additional regulatory requirements that may become applicable to us as the
result of an acquisition, such as various regulations that may become applicable to us as a result of our
acquisition of LPI, including the acquisition of a related entity that produces some content and other materials
intended for mature audiences; and |
|
|
|
|
the impact of known or unknown liabilities associated with the acquired businesses. |
If we are unable to successfully address these or other risks associated with our recent
acquisitions of LPI and RSVP or potential future acquisitions, we may be unable to realize the
anticipated synergies and benefits of our acquisitions, which could adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, the businesses we recently acquired from LPI and
RSVP are in more mature markets than our online businesses. The value of these new businesses to us
depends in part on our expectation that by cross-marketing their services to our existing user,
member and subscriber bases, we can increase revenues in the newly acquired businesses. If this
cross-marketing is unsuccessful, or if revenue growth in our acquired businesses is slower than
expected, our financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.
If we do not continue to attract and retain qualified personnel, we may not be able to expand our
business.
Our success depends on the collective experience of our senior executive team and board of
directors and on our ability to recruit, hire, train, retain and manage other highly skilled
employees and directors. Disruptions in our senior executive team could harm our business and
financial results or limit our ability to grow and expand our business. We cannot provide assurance
that we will be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees or that we
will successfully train and manage the employees that we do hire.
Our success depends, in part, upon the growth of Internet advertising and upon our ability to
accurately predict the cost of customized campaigns.
Online advertising represents a significant portion of our advertising revenue. We compete
with traditional media including television, radio and print, in addition to high-traffic websites,
such as those operated by Yahoo!, Google, AOL and MSN, for a share of advertisers total online
advertising expenditures. We face the risk that advertisers might find the Internet to be less
effective than traditional media in promoting their products or services, and as a result they may
reduce or eliminate their expenditures on Internet advertising. Many potential advertisers and
advertising agencies have only limited experience advertising on the Internet and historically have
not devoted a significant portion of their advertising expenditures to Internet advertising.
Additionally, filter software programs that limit or prevent advertisements from being displayed on
or delivered to a users computer are becoming increasingly available. If this type of software
becomes widely accepted, it would negatively affect Internet advertising. Our business could be
harmed if the market for Internet advertising does not grow.
Currently, we offer advertisers a number of alternatives to advertise their products or
services on our websites, in our publications and to our members, including banner advertisements,
rich media advertisements, traditional print advertising, email campaigns, text links and
sponsorships of our channels, topic sections, directories, sweepstakes, awards and other online
databases and content. Frequently, advertisers request advertising campaigns consisting of a
combination of these offerings, including some that may require custom development. If we are
unable to accurately predict the cost of developing these custom campaigns for our advertisers, our
expenses will increase and our margins will be reduced.
If advertisers do not find the LGBT market to be economically profitable, our business will be
harmed.
We focus our services exclusively on the LGBT community. Advertisers and advertising agencies
may not consider the LGBT community to be a broad enough or profitable enough market for their
advertising budgets, and they may prefer to direct their online and offline advertising
expenditures to larger higher-traffic websites and higher circulation publications that focus on
broader markets. If we are unable to attract new advertisers, if our advertising campaigns are
unsuccessful with the LGBT community or if our existing
Page 27
advertisers do not renew their contracts with us, our revenue will decrease and operating
results will suffer.
Any significant disruption in service on our websites or in our computer and communications
hardware and software systems could harm our business.
Our ability to attract new visitors, members, subscribers, advertisers and other customers to
our websites is critical to our success and largely depends upon the efficient and uninterrupted
operation of our computer and communications hardware and software systems. Our systems and
operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and
telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches, catastrophic events and errors in
usage by our employees and customers, which could lead to interruption in our service and
operations, and loss, misuse or theft of data. Our websites could also be targeted by direct
attacks intended to cause a disruption in service or to siphon off customers to other Internet
services. Among other risks, our chat rooms may be vulnerable to infestation by software programs
or scripts that we refer to as adbots. An adbot is a software program that creates a member
registration profile, enters a chat room and displays third-party advertisements. Our members
email accounts could be compromised by phishing or other means, and used to send spam email
messages clogging our email servers and disrupting our members ability to send and receive email.
Any successful attempt by hackers to disrupt our websites services or our internal systems could
harm our business, be expensive to remedy and damage our reputation, resulting in a loss of
visitors, members, subscribers, advertisers and other customers.
If we are unable to compete effectively, we may lose market share and our revenue may decline.
Our markets are intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. Across all three of our
service lines, we compete with traditional media companies focused on the general population and
the LGBT community, including local newspapers, national and regional magazines, satellite radio,
cable networks and network, cable and satellite television shows. In our advertising business, we
compete with a broad variety of online and offline content providers, including large media
companies such as Yahoo!, MSN, Time Warner, Viacom and News Corp., as well as a number of smaller
companies focused specifically on the LGBT community. In our subscription business, our competitors
include these companies as well as other companies that offer more targeted online service
offerings, such as Match.com, Yahoo! Personals, News Corp., and a number of other smaller online
companies focused specifically on the LGBT community. In our transaction business, we compete with
traditional and online retailers. Most of these transaction service competitors target their
products and services to the general audience while still serving the LGBT market. Other
competitors, however, specialize in the LGBT market, particularly in the gay and lesbian travel
space. If we are unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors, we may not be
able to achieve or maintain adequate market share, increase our revenue or achieve and maintain
profitability.
We believe that the primary competitive factors affecting our business are quality of content
and service, functionality, brand recognition, customer affinity and loyalty, ease of use,
reliability and critical mass. Some of our current and many of our potential competitors have
longer operating histories, larger customer bases and greater brand recognition in other business
and Internet markets and significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources
than we do. Therefore, these competitors may be able to devote greater resources to marketing and
promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies or may try to attract readers, users
or traffic by offering services for free and devote substantially more resources to developing
their services and systems than we can. Increased competition may result in reduced operating
margins, loss of market share and reduced revenue.
If we are unable to protect our domain names, our reputation and brand could be harmed if third
parties gain rights to, or use, these domain names in a manner that would confuse or impair our
ability to attract and retain customers.
We have registered various domain names relating to our brands, including Gay.com,
PlanetOut.com, Kleptomaniac.com, Out.com and Advocate.com. If we fail to maintain these
registrations, a third party may be able to gain rights to or cause us to stop using these domain
names, which will make it more difficult for users to find our websites and our service. For
example, the injunction issued in the DIALINK matter has forced us to temporarily change our domain
name in France during our appeal of that decision and may make it more difficult for French users
to find our French website. The acquisition and maintenance of domain names are generally regulated
by governmental agencies and their designees. The regulation of domain names in the United States
may change in the near future. Governing bodies may designate
additional top-level domains, such as .eu, in addition to currently available domains such as .biz, .net or .tv, for example, appoint
additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result,
we may be unable to acquire or maintain relevant domain names. If a third party acquires domain
names similar to ours and engages in a business that may be harmful to our reputation or confusing
to our subscribers and other customers, our revenue may decline, and we may incur additional
expenses in maintaining our brand and defending our reputation. Furthermore, the relationship
between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary
rights is unclear. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are
similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our trademarks and other proprietary
rights.
Page 28
If we fail to adequately protect our trademarks and other proprietary rights, or if we get involved
in intellectual property litigation, our revenue may decline and our expenses may increase.
We rely on a combination of confidentiality and license agreements with our employees,
consultants and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark, copyright and
trade secret protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights. If the protection of our
proprietary rights is inadequate to prevent use or appropriation by third parties, the value of our
brands and other intangible assets may be diminished, competitors may be able to more effectively
mimic our service and methods of operations, the perception of our business and service to
subscribers and potential subscribers may become confused in the marketplace and our ability to
attract subscribers and other customers may suffer, resulting in loss of revenue.
The Internet content delivery market is characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent
and other intellectual property rights. As a publisher of online content, we face potential
liability for negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement or other claims based on the
nature and content of materials that we publish or distribute. For example, we have received, and
may receive in the future, notices or offers from third parties claiming to have intellectual
property rights in technologies that we use in our businesses and inviting us to license those
rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to
protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others
or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity, and we may not prevail in any future
litigation. We may also attract claims that our print and online media properties have violated the
copyrights, rights of privacy, or other rights of others. Adverse determinations in litigation
could result in the loss of our proprietary rights, subject us to significant liabilities, require
us to seek licenses from third parties or prevent us from licensing our technology or selling our
products, any of which could seriously harm our business. An adverse determination could also
result in the issuance of a cease and desist order, which may force us to discontinue operations
through our website or websites. For example, the injunction issued in the DIALINK matter has
forced us to temporarily change our domain name in France during our appeal of that decision and
may make it more difficult for French users to find our French website. Intellectual property
litigation, whether or not determined in our favor or settled, could be costly, could harm our
reputation and could divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel
from normal business operations.
Existing or future government regulation in the United States and other countries could limit our
growth and result in loss of revenue.
We are subject to federal, state, local and international laws, including laws affecting
companies conducting business on the Internet, including user privacy laws, regulations prohibiting
unfair and deceptive trade practices and laws addressing issues such as freedom of expression,
pricing and access charges, quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual
property rights, display and production of material intended for mature audiences and information
security. In particular, we are currently required, or may in the future be required, to:
|
|
|
conduct background checks on our members prior to allowing
them to interact with other members on our websites or,
alternatively, provide notice on our websites that we have
not conducted background checks on our members, which may
result in our members canceling their membership or
failing to subscribe or renew their subscription,
resulting in reduced revenue; |
|
|
|
|
provide advance notice of any changes to our privacy
policies or to our policies on sharing non-public
information with third parties, and if our members or
subscribers disagree with these policies or changes, they
may wish to cancel their membership or subscription, which
will reduce our revenue; |
|
|
|
|
with limited exceptions, give consumers the right to
prevent sharing of their non-public personal information
with unaffiliated third parties, and if a significant
portion of our members choose to request that we dont
share their information, our advertising revenue that we
receive from renting our mailing list to unaffiliated
third parties may decline; |
|
|
|
|
provide notice to residents in some states if their
personal information was, or is reasonably believed to
have been, obtained by an unauthorized person such as a
computer hacker, which may result in our members or
subscribers deciding to cancel their membership or
subscription, reducing our membership base and
subscription revenue; |
|
|
|
|
comply with current or future anti-spam legislation by
limiting or modifying some of our marketing and
advertising efforts, such as email campaigns, which may
result in a reduction in our advertising revenue; for
instance, two states recently passed legislation creating
a do not contact registry for minors that would make it
a criminal violation to send an e-mail message to an
address on that states registry if the e-mail message
contained an advertisement for or even a link to a website
that offered products or services that minors are
prohibited from accessing; |
|
|
|
|
comply with the European Union privacy directive and other
international regulatory requirements by modifying the
ways in which we collect and share our users personal
information; if these modifications render our services
less attractive to our members or subscribers, for example
by limiting the amount or type of personal information our
members or subscribers could |
Page 29
|
|
|
post to their profiles, they
may cancel their memberships or subscriptions, resulting
in reduced revenue; |
|
|
|
|
qualify to do business in various states and countries, in
addition to jurisdictions where we are currently
qualified, because our websites are accessible over the
Internet in multiple states and countries, which if we
fail to so qualify, may prevent us from enforcing our
contracts in these states or countries and may limit our
ability to grow our business; |
|
|
|
|
limit our domestic or international expansion because some
jurisdictions may limit or prevent access to our services
as a result of the availability of some content intended
for mature viewing on some of our websites and through
some of the businesses we acquired from LPI which may
render our services less attractive to our members or
subscribers and result in a decline in our revenue; and |
|
|
|
|
limit or prevent access, from some jurisdictions, to some
or all of the member-generated content available through
our websites, which may render our services less
attractive to our members or subscribers and result in a
decline in our revenue. For example, in June 2005, the
United States Department of Justice (the DOJ) adopted
regulations purporting to implement the Child Protection
and Obscenity Act of 1988, as amended (the Act), by
requiring primary and secondary producers, as defined in
the regulations, of certain adult materials to obtain,
maintain and make available for inspection specified
records, such as a performers name, address and certain
forms of photo identification as proof of a performers
age. Failure to properly obtain, maintain or make these
records available for inspection upon request of the DOJ
could lead to an imposition of penalties, fines or
imprisonment. We could be deemed a secondary producer
under the Act because we allow our members to display
photographic images on our websites as part of member
profiles. In addition, we may be deemed a primary producer
under the Act because a portion of one of the businesses
we acquired in the LPI acquisition is primarily involved
in production of adult content. Enforcement of these
regulations has been stayed pending resolution of a legal
challenge to their constitutionality on the grounds that
the regulations exceed the DOJs statutory authority and
violate First Amendment and privacy rights, among others.
If the legal challenge is unsuccessful, we will be subject
to significant and burdensome recordkeeping compliance
requirements and/or we will have to evaluate and implement
additional registration and recordkeeping processes and
procedures, each of which would result in additional
expenses to us. Further, if our members and subscribers
feel these additional registration and recordkeeping
processes and procedures are too burdensome, this may
result in an adverse impact on our subscriber growth and
churn which, in turn, will have an adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. |
The restrictions imposed by, and costs of complying with, current and possible future laws and
regulations related to our business could limit our growth and reduce our membership base, revenue
and profit margins.
The risks of transmitting confidential information online, including credit card information, may
discourage customers from subscribing to our services or purchasing goods from us.
In order for the online marketplace to be successful, we and other market participants must be
able to transmit confidential information, including credit card information, securely over public
networks. Third parties may have the technology or know-how to breach the security of our customer
transaction data. Any breach could cause consumers to lose confidence in the security of our
websites and choose not to subscribe to our services or purchase goods from us. We cannot guarantee
that our security measures will effectively prohibit others from obtaining improper access to our
information or that of our users. If a person is able to circumvent our security measures, he or
she could destroy or steal valuable information or disrupt our operations. Any security breach
could expose us to risks of data loss, litigation and liability and may significantly disrupt our
operations and harm our reputation, operating results or financial condition.
If we are unable to provide satisfactory customer service, we could lose subscribers.
Our ability to provide satisfactory customer service depends, to a large degree, on the
efficient and uninterrupted operation of our customer service centers. Any significant disruption
or slowdown in our ability to process customer calls resulting from telephone or Internet failures,
power or service outages, natural disasters or other events could make it difficult or impossible
to provide adequate customer service and support. Further, we may be unable to attract and retain
adequate numbers of competent customer service representatives, which is essential in creating a
favorable interactive customer experience. If we are unable to continually provide adequate
staffing for our customer service operations, our reputation could be harmed and we may lose
existing and potential subscribers. In addition, we cannot assure you that email and telephone call
volumes will not exceed our present system capacities. If this occurs, we could experience delays
in responding to customer inquiries and addressing customer concerns.
We may be the target of negative publicity campaigns or other actions by advocacy groups that could
disrupt our operations because we serve the LGBT community.
Advocacy groups may target our business through negative publicity campaigns, lawsuits and
boycotts seeking to limit access to our services or otherwise disrupt our operations because we
serve the LGBT community. These actions could impair our ability to
Page 30
attract and retain customers, especially in our advertising business, resulting in decreased
revenue, and cause additional financial harm by requiring that we incur significant expenditures to
defend our business and by diverting managements attention. Further, some investors, investment
banking entities, market makers, lenders and others in the investment community may decide not to
invest in our securities or provide financing to us because we serve the LGBT community, which, in
turn, may hurt the value of our stock.
Adult content in our media properties may be the target of negative publicity campaigns or subject
us to restrictive or costly regulatory compliance.
A portion of the content of our media properties is adult in nature. Our adult content
increased significantly as a result of our November 2005 acquisition of assets from LPI, which
included several adult-themed media properties. Advocacy groups may target our business through
negative publicity campaigns, lawsuits and boycotts seeking to limit access to our services or
otherwise disrupt our operations because we are a provider of adult content. These actions could
impair our ability to attract and retain customers, especially in our advertising business,
resulting in decreased revenue, and cause additional financial harm by requiring that we incur
significant expenditures to defend our business and by diverting managements attention. Further,
some investors, investment banking entities, market makers, lenders and others in the investment
community may decide not to invest in our securities or provide financing to us because of our
adult content, which, in turn, may hurt the value of our stock. Additionally, future laws or
regulations, or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may restrict our ability to
provide adult content, or make it more difficult or costly to do so, such as the regulations
recently adopted by the DOJ purporting to implement the Child Protection and Obscenity Act of 1988.
If one or more states or countries successfully assert that we should collect sales or other taxes
on the use of the Internet or the online sales of goods and services, our expenses will increase,
resulting in lower margins.
In the United States, federal and state tax authorities are currently exploring the
appropriate tax treatment of companies engaged in online commerce, and new state tax regulations
may subject us to additional state sales and income taxes, which could increase our expenses and
decrease our profit margins.
In 2003, the European Union implemented new rules regarding the collection and payment of
value added tax, or VAT. These rules require VAT to be charged on products and services delivered
over electronic networks, including software and computer services, as well as information and
cultural, artistic, sporting, scientific, educational, entertainment and similar services. These
services are now being taxed in the country where the purchaser resides rather than where the
supplier is located. Historically, suppliers of digital products and services that existed outside
the European Union were not required to collect or remit VAT on digital orders made to purchasers
in the European Union. With the implementation of these rules, we are required to collect and remit
VAT on digital orders received from purchasers in the European Union, effectively reducing our
revenue by the VAT amount because we currently do not pass this cost on to our customers.
We also do not currently collect sales, use or other similar taxes for sales of our
subscription services or for physical shipments of goods into states other than California and New
York. In the future, one or more local, state or foreign jurisdictions may seek to impose sales,
use or other tax collection obligations on us. If these obligations are successfully imposed upon
us by a state or other jurisdiction, we may suffer decreased sales into that state or jurisdiction
as the effective cost of purchasing goods or services from us will increase for those residing in
these states or jurisdictions.
We are exposed to pricing and production capacity risks associated with our magazine publishing
business, which could result in lower revenues and profit margins.
As a result of our November 2005 acquisition of assets from LPI, we publish and distribute
magazines, such as The Advocate, Out, The Out Traveler and HIVPlus, among others. The commodity
prices for paper products have been increasing over the recent years, and producers of paper
products are often faced with production capacity limitations, which could result in delays or
interruptions in our supply of paper. In addition, mailing costs have also been increasing,
primarily due to higher postage rates. If pricing of paper products and mailing costs continue to
increase, or if we encounter shortages in our paper supplies, our revenues and profit margins could
be adversely affected.
We may need additional capital and may not be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms or
at all, which could increase our costs, limit our ability to grow and dilute the ownership
interests of existing stockholders.
We anticipate that we may need to raise additional capital in the future to facilitate
long-term expansion, to respond to competitive pressures or to respond to unanticipated financial
requirements. In April 2006, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for up to $75.0
million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants to be sold from time to
time at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time of offering. In
addition, under the shelf registration statement
Page 31
some of our stockholders may sell up to 1.7 million shares of our common stock. We cannot be
certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms or at
all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt
securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the
rights of our common stock, and our stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership
interests. A failure to obtain additional financing or an inability to obtain financing on
acceptable terms could require us to incur indebtedness that has high rates of interest or
substantial restrictive covenants, issue equity securities that will dilute the ownership interests
of existing stockholders, or scale back, or fail to address opportunities for expansion or
enhancement of, our operations. We cannot assure you that we will not require additional capital in
the near future.
In the event of an earthquake, other natural or man-made disaster, or power loss, our operations
could be interrupted or adversely affected, resulting in lower revenue.
Our executive offices and our data center are located in the San Francisco Bay area and we
have significant operations in Los Angeles. Our business and operations could be disrupted in the
event of electrical blackouts, fires, floods, earthquakes, power losses, telecommunications
failures, acts of terrorism, break-ins or similar events. Because our California operations are
located in earthquake-sensitive areas, we are particularly susceptible to the risk of damage to, or
total destruction of, our systems and infrastructure. We are not insured against any losses or
expenses that arise from a disruption to our business due to earthquakes. Further, the State of
California has experienced deficiencies in its power supply over the last few years, resulting in
occasional rolling blackouts. If rolling blackouts or other disruptions in power occur, our
business and operations could be disrupted, and we will lose revenue. Revenue from our recently
acquired RSVP travel business depends in significant part on ocean-going cruises, and could be
adversely affected by hurricanes, tsunamis and other meteorological events affecting areas to be
visited by future cruises. Our travel business could also be materially adversely affected by
concerns about communicable infectious diseases, including future varieties of influenza.
Recent and proposed regulations related to equity compensation could adversely affect our ability
to attract and retain key personnel.
We have used stock options and other long-term incentives as a fundamental component of our
employee compensation packages. We believe that stock options and other long-term equity incentives
directly motivate our employees to maximize long-term stockholder value and, through the use of
vesting, encourage employees to remain with our company. Several regulatory agencies and entities
are considering regulatory changes that could make it more difficult or expensive for us to grant
stock options to employees. For example, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has adopted
changes to the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that require us to record a charge to
earnings for employee stock option grants. In addition, regulations implemented by the Nasdaq
National Market generally requiring stockholder approval for all stock option plans could make it
more difficult for us to grant options to employees in the future. To the extent that new
regulations make it more difficult or expensive to grant stock options to employees, we may incur
increased compensation costs, change our equity compensation strategy or find it difficult to
attract, retain and motivate employees, each of which could materially and adversely affect our
business.
In the event we are unable to satisfy regulatory requirements relating to internal control over
financial reporting, or if these internal controls are not effective, our business and our stock
price could suffer.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires companies to do a comprehensive and
costly evaluation of their internal controls. As a result, our management is required on an ongoing
basis to perform an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and have our
independent registered public accounting firm attest to such evaluations. Our efforts to comply
with Section 404 and related regulations regarding our managements required assessment of internal
control over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting firms
attestation of that assessment has required, and will continue to require, the commitment of
significant financial and managerial resources. If we fail to timely complete these evaluations, or
if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot timely attest to our evaluations, we
could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence in our internal controls,
which could have an adverse effect on our business and our stock price.
Our stock price may be volatile and you may lose all or a part of your investment.
Since our initial public offering in October 2004, our stock price has been and may continue
to be subject to wide fluctuations. From October 14, 2004 through March 31, 2006, the closing sale
prices of our common stock on the Nasdaq ranged from $6.25 to $13.60 per share. Our stock price may
fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, such as quarterly variations in our
operating results, changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts, the
operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors or analysts deem comparable
to us and sales of stock by our existing stockholders.
In addition, the stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume
fluctuations, and the market prices of
Page 32
Internet-related and e-commerce companies in particular have been extremely volatile and have
recently experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. These broad market fluctuations
may impact the trading price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in
the market price of a public companys securities, securities class action litigation has often
been instituted against that company. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs to
us and a likely diversion of our managements attention.
Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that
stockholders may consider favorable.
Our charter documents may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a
stockholder may consider favorable because they will:
|
|
|
authorize our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of undesignated
preferred stock; |
|
|
|
|
provide for a classified board of directors; |
|
|
|
|
prohibit our stockholders from acting by written consent; |
|
|
|
|
establish advance notice requirements for proposing matters to be approved by stockholders at stockholder meetings; and |
|
|
|
|
prohibit stockholders from calling a special meeting of stockholders. |
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to Delaware law anti-takeover provisions. Under
Delaware law, a corporation may not engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more
of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other things,
the board of directors has approved the transaction. Our board of directors could rely on Delaware
law to prevent or delay an acquisition of us.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On October 13, 2004, a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-114988) was declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to which 5,347,500 shares of common
stock were offered and sold by us at a price of $9.00 per share, generating total proceeds, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions and issuance costs of approximately $42.9 million. In
connection with the offering, we incurred approximately $2.9 million in underwriting discounts and
commissions and approximately $1.9 million in other related expenses. The managing underwriters
were SG Cowen & Co., LLC, RBC Capital Markets Corporation and WR Hambrecht + Co, LLC. We have used
the net proceeds from our initial public offering to invest in short-term, investment grade
interest-bearing securities, to pay off the principal and interest under our senior subordinated
promissory note, for acquisitions and for working capital needs. We may use a portion of the net
proceeds to acquire or invest in products and technologies that are complementary to our own,
although no portion of the net proceeds has been allocated for any specific acquisition. None of
the net proceeds of the initial public offering were paid directly or indirectly to any director,
officer, general partner of PlanetOut or their associates, persons owning 10% or more of any class
of our or our affiliates equity securities.
From the time of receipt through March 31, 2006, the proceeds of our public offering were
applied toward repayment of the principal and interest of the senior subordinated note in the
amount of $5.0 million, $25.5 million for the acquisition of the assets of LPI and $5.4 million for
the acquisition of the assets of RSVP Productions Inc. The remaining proceeds of $7.0 million are
being used as working capital and are included within cash and cash equivalents. We expect that the
use of the remaining proceeds will conform to the intended use of proceeds as described in our
initial public offering prospectus filed on October 14, 2004.
