NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Nature of Business and Principles of Consolidation

 

LookSmart (the Company) is a provider of commercial search services and a developer of innovative web search solutions. The Company provides consumers with highly relevant search results through a distribution network that includes LookSmart.com and other portals and ISPs, while delivering targeted sales leads to online businesses.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in 20% to 50% owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for by the equity method and investments in less than 20% owned affiliates, over which the Company does not exert any significant influence, are accounted for by the cost method.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior years’ balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. In the first quarter of 2003, payments to distribution partners for referral of customers to our LookListings program were reflected as sales and marketing expense because LookSmart branding was associated with the promotion of these products. These costs have been reclassified and are reflected in cost of revenue. The amount reclassified in the first quarter of 2003 was $1.2 million.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Business Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s short-term investments are managed by one institution. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon expected collectibility.

 

The Company derived approximately 32% and 64% of its listings revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, from the Company’s relationship with Microsoft.

 

The Company derived approximately 16% and 3% of its listings revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, from its relationship with Mamma.com.

 

The Company derived 100% of the lice
