MOVE, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our mission is to be the most trusted source for real estate online.
2. Basis of Presentation
     The Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), including those for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which was filed with the SEC on February 29, 2008. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which provides a one-year deferral of the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3 “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. In accordance with this interpretation, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value within its financial statements as of January 1, 2008 (See “Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements”). The provisions of SFAS 157 have not been applied to non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of this deferral on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”), which permits an entity to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Under SFAS 159, entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company adopted SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2008 and has elected not to apply the fair value option provided under this statement, therefore, the adoption of SFAS 159 has not had an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
4. Recent Accounting Development
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Under the standard, an acquiring entity is required to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value on the date of acquisition. Earn-out payments and other forms of contingent consideration are also required to be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The standard also requires fair value measurements to be used when recording non-controlling interests and contingent liabilities. In addition, the standard requires all costs associated with the business combination, including restructuring costs, to be expensed as incurred. For the Company, SFAS 141R is effective prospectively for business combinations having an acquisition date on or after January 1,

2009, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired contingencies. SFAS 141R amends SFAS 109 such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to January 1, 2009 would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141R. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 141R on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
5. Discontinued Operations
     In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company decided to divest its Homeplans business, which had been reported as part of its Consumer Media segment. On April 15, 2008, the Company closed the sale of the business for a sales price of approximately $1.0 million in cash which is included in net cash provided by discontinued investing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The transaction did not result in any significant gain or loss on disposition.
     In the second quarter of 2008, the Company decided to divest its Welcome Wagon ® business, which had been reported as part of its Consumer Media segment. The Company is actively marketing the business for sale. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), the Company performed an impairment analysis and fair value was determined to be $0 based on potential bids received for the Welcome Wagon business. As a result, the Company wrote-off $2.1 million of current assets and liabilities, which is included in operating expenses and recorded an impairment charge of $15.9 million associated with long-lived assets.
     Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented reflects the reclassification of its Homeplans and Welcome Wagon ® divisions as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the revenue, costs and expenses, and cash flows of these divisions have been excluded from the respective captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and have been reported as “Loss from discontinued operations,” net of applicable income taxes of zero; and as “Net cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations.” Total revenue and loss from discontinued operations are reflected below (in thousands):

6. Restructuring Charges
     During the third quarter of 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring and integration plan with the objective of eliminating duplicate resources and redundancies and implementing a new operating structure to lower total operating expenses. The Company implemented the first phase of the plan and incurred a restructuring charge from continuing operations of $4.0 million. Included in these charges were lease obligations and related charges of $3.0 million for the consolidation of the Company’s operations in Westlake Village, California and the abandonment of a portion of the leased facility. In addition, the charge included severance and other payroll-related expenses of $1.0 million associated with the reduction in workforce of approximately 42 employees whose positions with the Company were eliminated. These workforce reductions affected 16 employees in cost of revenue positions, 18 employees in sales and marketing, 2 employees in product and web site development and 6 employees in general and administrative positions. In addition, 22 employees were terminated as part of discontinued operations; such costs have been included as part of discontinued operations.

     The Company’s long-term investments consist primarily of high-grade (AAA rated) student loan auction rate securities issued by student loan funding organizations, which loans are 97% guaranteed under FFELP (Federal Family Education Loan Program). These auction rate securities (“ARS”) were intended to provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the interest rate, generally every 28 days, allowing investors to either roll over their holdings or sell them at par. All purchases of these auction rate securities were in compliance with the Company’s investment policy. In February 2008, auctions for the Company’s investments in these securities failed to settle on their respective settlement dates. Consequently, the investments are not currently liquid and the Company will not be able to access these funds until a future auction of these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. Maturity dates for these ARS investments range from 2030 to 2047 with principal distributions occurring on certain securities prior to maturity. The Company currently has the ability and the intent to hold these ARS investments until their fair value recovers, maturity or until they can be sold in a market that facilitates orderly transactions. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has classified $121.0 million of the ARS investment balance as Long-term Investments because of the Company’s inability to determine when these investments in ARS will become liquid. The Company has also modified its current investment strategy and increased its investments in more liquid money market and treasury bill investments. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) was the Company’s investment advisor in connection with the investment in the ARS. On September 17, 2008, the Company commenced arbitration against Citigroup before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) (see Note 17).
     The Company reviews its potential investment impairments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and the related guidance issued by the FASB and SEC in order to determine the classification of the impairment as “temporary” or “other-than-temporary.” A temporary impairment charge results in an unrealized loss being recorded in the other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholder’s equity. An other-than-temporary impairment charge is recorded as a realized loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and reduces net income (loss) for the applicable accounting period. The differentiating factors between temporary and other-than-temporary impairment are primarily the length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
     The Company’s ARS investments were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2008, and an unrealized loss of $8.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 was included in other comprehensive income. See “Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements” for additional information concerning fair value measurement of the Company’s ARS investments.

8. Fair Value Measurements
     On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the methods of fair value as described in SFAS No. 157 which refines the definition of fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The statement establishes consistency and comparability by providing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels, which are described below:
    Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (these are observable market inputs).
 
    Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability (includes quoted market prices for similar assets or identical or similar assets in markets in which there are few transactions, prices that are not current or vary substantially).
 
    Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions in pricing the asset or liability (used when little or no market data is available).
     Financial assets and liabilities included in our financial statements and measured at fair value as of September 30, 2008 are classified based on the valuation technique level in the table below:
                                 
    Fair Value Measurement at September 30, 2008  
    Total     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
Description:

  $ 114,279     $ 114,279     $     $

Total assets at fair value
  $ 235,279     $ 114,279     $     $ 121,000  
 
                       
 
                               
Liabilities:
                               
Embedded derivative liability (3)
  $ 717     $     $     $ 717  
 
                       
  (1)   Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of treasury bills with original maturity dates of three months or less and money market funds for which we determine fair value through quoted market prices.
 
  (2)   Long-term investments consist of student loan, FFELP-backed, ARS issued by student loan funding organizations. Typically the fair value of ARS investments approximates par value due to the frequent resets through the auction process. While the Company continues to earn interest on its ARS investments at the maximum contractual rate, these investments are not currently trading and therefore do not have a readily determinable market value. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its investment in ARS as of September 30, 2008. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model includes estimates for interest rates, timing and amount of cash flows and expected holding period of the ARS. Based on this assessment of fair value, the Company determined there was a decline in the fair value of its ARS investments of $8.4 million which was deemed temporary and is included within comprehensive other income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008.
 
  (3)   The embedded derivative liability, which is included within other liabilities, represents the value associated with the right of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock to receive additional guaranteed dividends in the event of a change of control. There is no current observable market for this type of derivative and, as such, we determined the value of the embedded derivative based on a lattice model using inputs such as an assumed corporate bond borrowing rate, market price of the Company’s stock, probability of a change in control, and volatility.
     The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the major class of assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):

(1)   Based on the deteriorated market conditions of our ARS investments that we classify as available-for-sale, for the three-months ended March 31, 2008 we changed our fair value measurement methodology from quoted prices from active markets to a discounted cash flow model. Accordingly, these securities were reclassified from Level 1 to Level 3.
 
(2)   During July 2008, $0.2 million of our ARS were redeemed at par value and, as such, were reclassified from Long-term Investments to Short-term Investments as of June 30, 2008.
9. Revolving Line of Credit
     On May 8, 2008, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit providing for borrowings of up to $64.8 million with a major financial institution. Outstanding balances are due on May 7, 2009. The line of credit is secured by the Company’s ARS investment balances and outstanding borrowings will bear interest at the Federal Funds Rate plus 2.1% (4.1% as of September 30, 2008). The available borrowings may not exceed 50% of the par value of the Company’s ARS investment balances and could be limited further if the quoted market value of these securities drops below 70% of par value. As of September 30, 2008, there was $64.7 million in outstanding borrowings against this line of credit.
10. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
     Goodwill by segment is as follows (in thousands):

     The Company has both indefinite and definite lived intangibles. Indefinite-lived intangibles consist of $2.0 million of trade names and trademarks acquired during the year ended December 31, 2006. Indefinite-lived intangible assets decreased by $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due to an impairment of an asset associated with an abandoned business initiative. Definite-lived intangible assets consist of certain trade names, trademarks, brand names, purchased technology, and other miscellaneous agreements entered into in connection with business combinations and are amortized over expected periods of benefits. There are no expected residual values related to these intangible assets. Intangible assets by category are as follows (in thousands):

11. Stock-Based Compensation and Charges
     The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) and EITF No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services.”
     The Company has granted restricted stock awards to members of its Board of Directors as compensation during the past four years. These shares will vest on the third anniversary of their issuance and the costs are being recognized over their respective vesting period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company granted 160,793 shares of restricted stock to members of its Board of Directors. Additionally, one member of the Board of Directors resigned and forfeited 40,000 shares of unvested restricted stock. There were 345,293 and 314,950 unvested shares of restricted stock issued to members of the Company’s Board of Directors as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total cost recognized was approximately $108,000 and $97,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $217,000 and $244,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total cost recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are net of approximately $85,000 of costs reversed due to the forfeiture of restricted shares during the period. These costs are included in stock-based compensation and charges.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued 232,018 shares of restricted stock to one of its officers as a “sign-on” bonus. These shares had a fair value of $1.0 million and vested fifty percent immediately with the balance vesting one year from the grant date. The fair value of the first fifty percent vesting was recognized as stock-based compensation immediately with the remaining fifty percent being amortized over one year. The officer returned 82,946 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $0.4 million to reimburse the Company for the officer’s share of income and payroll taxes due as a result of this transaction. As of September 30, 2008, all shares were vested. The total costs recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $123,000. The total costs recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $204,000 and $670,000, respectively. These costs are included in stock-based compensation and charges.
     The Board of Directors awards performance-based restricted stock units to certain of the Company’s executive officers. The following summarizes the restricted stock unit activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (in thousands):
         
    Number of  
    Restricted Stock Units  
Non-vested units at December 31, 2007
    5,135  
Units forfeited
    (705 )
 
     
Non-vested units at September 30, 2008
    4,430  
 
     
     Based on the original terms of the awards, the officers were to earn shares of the Company’s stock, based on the attainment of certain performance goals relating to the Company’s revenues and operating income (as defined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved modifications of the performance targets and vesting periods from the original awards, reducing the original restricted stock units available for vesting after 2008 by 50% for each of the executives, and revising the target financial performance for 2008 based on current market conditions and the Company’s expected performance. The committee also established financial performance targets for 2009, which provided the potential for executives to earn the remaining 50% of the restricted stock units previously granted by attainment of those performance goals.

Table of Contents

     As a result of the modification, pursuant to SFAS 123R, the likelihood of achieving the original targets was improbable and previously recognized compensation under the award was reversed to reflect this assumption. Recognition of compensation for these units will continue to be deferred until management determines that it is probable that it will achieve the new performance targets. Management has determined it is unlikely any of the 2008 awards will be earned. As of September 30, 2008, the fair value of the remaining restricted stock units granted was $20.1 million.
     The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the ranges of assumptions in the following table. Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility. Due to the unusual volatility of the Company’s stock price around the time of the restatement of its financial statements in 2002 and several historical acquisitions that changed the Company’s risk profile, historical data was more heavily weighted toward the more recent stock activity. The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. Starting with the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company derived the expected term assumption based on the Company’s weighted average vesting period combined with the post-vesting holding period. Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company used the simplified method to calculate the expected term for its options, as allowed by SEC Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment (SAB 107)”. Pursuant to the results of this analysis, the Company has determined that the expected term should be 5.85 years for options granted subsequent to December 31, 2007. The risk-free interest rates are based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds for the periods in which the options were granted.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company updated the estimated forfeiture rates it uses in the determination of its stock-based compensation expense; this change was a result of an assessment that included an analysis of the actual number of equity awards that had been forfeited to date compared to prior estimates and an evaluation of future estimated forfeitures. The Company periodically evaluates its forfeiture rates and updates the rates it uses in the determination of its stock-based compensation expense. The Company recorded a cumulative benefit from the change in estimate of approximately $1.3 million which reduced stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company modified the vesting and extended the time to exercise for several former executive employees as part of their separation agreements. As a result of these modifications, the Company recorded additional stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company modified the vesting and extended the time to exercise for several former executive employees as part of their separation agreements. As a result of these modifications, the Company recorded additional stock-based compensations expense of $0.7 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

14. Segment Information
     Segment information is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” This standard is based on a management approach, which requires segmentation based upon the Company’s internal organization and disclosure of revenue and operating expenses based upon internal accounting methods.

The Company’s management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on two segments consisting of Real Estate Services for those products and services offered to industry professionals trying to reach new movers and manage their relationships with them and Consumer Media for those products and services offered to other advertisers who are trying to reach those consumers in the process of a move. This is consistent with the data that is made available to our management to assess performance and make decisions.
     The expenses presented below for each of the business segments include an allocation of certain corporate expenses that are identifiable and benefit those segments and are allocated for internal management reporting purposes. The unallocated expenses are those corporate overhead expenses that are not directly attributable to a segment and include: corporate expenses, such as finance, legal, executive, corporate brand marketing, internal business systems, and human resources; expenses associated with new business initiatives and amortization of intangible assets. There is no inter-segment revenue. Assets and liabilities are not fully allocated to segments for internal reporting purposes.
     Summarized information, by segment, as excerpted from internal management reports is as follows (in thousands):

15. Income Taxes
     As a result of historical net operating losses, we have generally not recorded a provision for income taxes. However, during the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded certain indefinite lived intangible assets as a result of the purchase of Moving.com TM which creates a permanent difference as the amortization can be recorded for tax purposes but not for book purposes. A deferred tax provision of $41,000 and $123,000 was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, and $42,000 and $122,000 was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as a result of this permanent difference which cannot be offset against net operating loss carryforwards due to its indefinite life. An additional $69,000 and $190,000 tax provision was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 for state income taxes and a $127,000 and $300,000 tax provision was recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, as a result of federal alternative minimum taxes incurred in the utilization of net operating losses against our taxable income for the respective period.

     The Company adopted the FASB’s Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and requires the impact of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not to be sustained by the taxing authority. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
     As of September 30, 2008, we do not have any accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. We do not have any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The tax years 1993-2007 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
16. Settlement of Disputes and Litigation
     On April 4, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with David Rosenblatt (“Rosenblatt”), the Company’s former General Counsel, resolving all past claims for indemnification for expenses, including attorneys’ fees in connection with the SEC and Department of Justice (“DOJ”) investigations and certain civil actions filed against Rosenblatt, and settlement of the claims brought against him in the securities class action lawsuit against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors, which the Company settled in 2003. The settlement does not include any claims Rosenblatt may assert for indemnification for future expenses in connection with the SEC and DOJ investigations. The Company is unable to determine whether Rosenblatt will have any additional claims or what portion, if any, of Rosenblatt’s additional expenses it will ultimately have to advance, or if Rosenblatt will ultimately demonstrate an entitlement to indemnification with respect to the claimed amounts.
17. Commitments and Contingencies
     We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings, as discussed in Note 22, “Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (“Annual Report”) and below in this Note 17. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, and except as disclosed below, there have been no material developments in the legal proceedings disclosed in our Annual Report and the Company is not a party to any other litigation or administrative proceedings that management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
     In June 2002, Tren Technologies Holdings LLC., (“Tren”) sued the Company, the National Associated of REALTORS ® (“NAR”) and the National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”) in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania for patent infringement based on the Company’s operation of the REALTOR.com ® and HomeBuilder.com ® web sites. Specifically, Tren alleged that it owns a patent (U.S. Patent No. 5,584,025) on an application, method and system for tracking demographic customer information, including tracking information related to real estate and real estate demographics information, and that the Company has developed an infringing technology for the REALTOR.com ® and HomeBuilder.com ® web sites. Tren’s complaint sought an unspecified amount of damages (including treble damages for willful infringement and attorneys’ fees) and a permanent injunction against the Company using the technology. In October 2003, Kevin Keithley (“Keithley”) sued the Company, NAR and NAHB in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California asserting that he was the exclusive licensee of U.S. Patent No. 5,584,025, and alleging the same infringement and seeking the same relief as in the Tren action. On May 22, 2004, the Company filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) a Request for Reexamination of the patent at issue in these actions. The Keithley and Tren action were stayed pending the reexamination proceeding. In August 2005, the USPTO confirmed the original claims of the patent and allowed additional claims. Accordingly, the stay in the Keithley action was lifted and the parties have agreed that the Keithley action should go forward. On May 24, 2006, the court in Pennsylvania dismissed the Tren case without prejudice. In September 2006, Keithley amended his complaint to add Tren as a Plaintiff. Keithley and Tren assert that the patent is infringed by the websites www.Realtor.com, www.Move.com, www.Homebuilder.com, www.Rentnet.com, and www.Moving.com, and by Top Producer software and services as well as certain other websites formerly operated by the Company. On August 12, 2008, the U.S. Magistrate Judge presiding over all discovery matters in the Keithley action issued an Order for monetary sanctions (“Order for Sanctions”) against the Company. On August 26, 2008, the Company filed an objection to the Order for Sanctions with the U.S. District Court asking the court to reconsider and reverse the Magistrate Judge’s Order for Sanctions. On October 3, 2008, the Company filed motions for summary judgment for invalidity based on anticipation and obviousness, for non-infringement and invalidity based on indefiniteness and willfulness, and for non-infringement by NAR and NAHB. Hearings before the U.S. District Court Judge on the Company’s objections to sanctions and motions for summary judgment are set for November 14, 2008. The Company believes that the claims in the Keithley action are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the case.

     On February 28, 2007, in a patent infringement action against a real estate agent, Diane Sarkisian, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (“the Sarkisian case”), Real Estate Alliance, Limited (“REAL”), moved to certify two classes of defendants: subscribers and members of the multiple listing service of which Sarkisian was a member, and customers of the Company who had purchased enhanced listings from the Company. The U.S. District Court in the Sarkisian case denied REAL’s motion to certify the classes on September 24, 2007. On March 25, 2008, the U.S. District Court in the Sarkisian case stayed that case, and denied without prejudice all pending motions, pending the U.S. District Court of California’s determination in the Move California Action (see below) of whether the Company’s web sites infringe the REAL patents.
     On April 3, 2007, in response to REAL’s attempt to certify our customers as a class of defendants in the Sarkisian case, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California seeking a declaratory judgment that the Company does not infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 4,870,576 and 5,032,989 (“the REAL patents”) and that the REAL patents are invalid and/or unenforceable (“the Move California Action”). The Move California Action was brought against REAL, and its licensing agent Equias Technology Development, LLC (“Equias”) and Equias’ principal, Scott Tatro (“Tatro”). The Move California Action also includes claims by the Company against the defendants for several business torts, such as interference with contractual relations and prospective economic advantage and unfair competition under California common law and statutory law. On May 14, 2007, defendants in the Move California Action moved to have the California case dismissed or transferred to Pennsylvania, and on June 27, 2007, the court denied defendants’ motion as to defendants REAL and Equias, but granted dismissal of the claims against Tatro without prejudice. On August 8, 2007, REAL and Equias denied the Company’s allegations, and REAL asserted counterclaims against the Company asserting infringement of the REAL patents, seeking compensatory damages, punitive damages, treble damages, costs, expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees and pre- and post-judgment interest. On February 28, 2008, REAL filed a motion for leave to amend its counter-claims, and to include NAR and the National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”) as individual defendants, as well as various brokers including RE/Max International (“RE/Max”), agents, Multiple Listing Services (“MLS”), new home builders, rental property owners, and technology providers and indicated that it intended to seek to certify certain defendant classes. On March 24, 2008, the Company filed its opposition to REAL’s motion for leave to amend its counter-claims. On March 11, 2008, REAL filed a separate suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (“the REAL California Action”) alleging infringement of the REAL patents against the same defendants it sought to include in its proposed amended counter-claims in the Move California Action, and also indicated that it intended to seek to certify the same defendant classes. The Company is not named as a defendant in the REAL California Action; however, the Company is defending NAR, NAHB and RE/Max in the REAL California Action. On May 5, 2008, NAR, NAHB and RE/Max filed answers denying infringement and asserting that the patents are invalid and unenforceable, and asserting counter-claims against REAL. On July 29, 2008, the Move California Action was transferred to Judge King, the same judge in the REAL California Action. In September, 2008, the court decided to coordinate both cases and issued an order dividing the issues of both cases into two phases. Phase 1 will include REAL and Equias on the one hand, and Move, Inc., NAR and NAHB on the other hand. Phase 2 will include all the remaining defendants named by REAL in the REAL California Action. On August 18, 2008, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment for non-infringement in the Move California Action, and on October 23, 2008, the court denied the motion as premature with leave to re-file after discovery closed.
     On April 8, 2008 REAL filed a separate patent infringement action against LoopNet, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (“LoopNet Action”), and on October 14, 2008, the LoopNet Action was transferred to Judge King. On Oct. 23, 2008, the court entered an order directing the parties in the Move and REAL California actions and the Loopnet Action to submit a joint statement addressing whether the cases should be consolidated to minimize duplicate litigation. The Company intends to vigorously prosecute and to defend against REAL’s allegations in the Move California Action and vigorously defend and to prosecute the claims that have been brought on behalf of NAR and NAHB in the REAL California Action. At this time, however, the Company is unable to express an opinion on the outcome of these cases.
     As part of the sale in 2002 of the Company’s ConsumerInfo division to Experian Holdings, Inc. (“Experian”), $10.0 million of the purchase price was put in escrow to secure our indemnification obligations (the “Indemnity Escrow”). The Indemnity Escrow was scheduled to terminate in the third quarter of 2003, but prior to the scheduled termination, Experian demanded indemnification from the Company for claims made against Experian or its subsidiaries by several parties in civil actions and by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), including allegations of unfair and deceptive advertising in connection with ConsumerInfo’s furnishing of credit reports and providing “Advice for Improving Credit” that appeared on its web site both before, during, and after the Company’s ownership of ConsumerInfo. Under the stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold ConsumerInfo to Experian, the Company could have elected to defend against the claims, but because the alleged conduct occurred both before and after its sale to Experian, the Company elected to rely on Experian to defend against such allegations.
     The FTC action against Experian was resolved on August 31, 2005 by stipulated judgment that requires, among other things, that refunds be made available to certain customers who purchased ConsumerInfo products during the period November 2000 through September 2003.

     The Company has received information from Experian concerning the total expenses incurred by Experian to date in connection with all matters for which they claim indemnity, and Experian requested a meeting with the Company to discuss resolution of its indemnity claims prior to commencement of an arbitration process prescribed in the stock purchase agreement. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, the Company’s maximum potential liability for claims by Experian is capped at $29.25 million less the balance in escrow. On April 8, 2008, representatives of the Company met with representatives of Experian and the parties agreed that arbitration should proceed in order to resolve any potential indemnity obligations of the Company. A bifurcated arbitration in this matter was held in September 2008. On October 16, 2008, the arbitrator issued an Interim Award resolving specific issues presented for determination. The Company and Experian are attempting to resolve this matter by application of the Interim Award. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, a subsequent arbitration is scheduled for December 2008 for final resolution. Experian is seeking to recover from the Company an amount in excess of the Indemnity Escrow amount, which was $8.4 million on September 30, 2008. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims brought by Experian and is unable to estimate the costs associated with any potential indemnification obligations at this time.
     Citigroup was the Company’s investment advisor in connection with the Company’s investment in ARS. In February, 2008, the auctions for ARS failed and thereby rendered the Company’s investment illiquid (See Note 7). On September 17, 2008, the Company commenced an arbitration against Citigroup before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) by filing a Statement of Claim alleging breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and breach of contractual duty of good faith and fair dealing, violation of SEC Rule 10b-5 and FINRA Rule 2310, violation of SEC Rule 15c1-2, violation of the Investment Advisers Act, 15 U.S.C. Secs. 80b-1 et seq. , and negligent misrepresentation. The Company is seeking that Citigroup return the funds that the Company entrusted to Citigroup, compensatory and punitive damages, pre and post judgment interest, attorneys’ fees, and other remedies the FINRA panel deems appropriate. No date has been set for the FINRA arbitration.
