Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors
StarCite, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of StarCite, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of StarCite, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(Information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 is Unaudited)
(1)  
Background and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  (a)  
The Company, Liquidity, and Going Concern
 
     
StarCite, Inc., with its subsidiaries is an Internet business that delivers content and services for both professional and occasional meeting planners. StarCite, Inc. (StarCite) was incorporated in Delaware in 2006 in connection with the merger of StarCite, Inc. (the predecessor, incorporated in Delaware and began operations in January 1999) and OnVantage, Inc. (OnVantage).
 
     
The Company has a history of net losses and negative operating cash flows since its inception. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $113,503. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been the issuance of preferred stock, borrowings from stockholders, and borrowings from banks.
 
     
During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company has continued to make investments in ongoing business development efforts in anticipation of future growth. However, if anticipated revenue growth is not achieved, the Company may be required to further curtail or limit certain general and administrative, selling and marketing and research and development activities in order to reduce its cash outflows. In order to complete its future growth strategy, the Company is likely to require additional equity and/or debt financing. There is no assurance that additional equity and/or debt financing will be available to the Company as needed.
 
  (b)  
Principles of Consolidation
 
     
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  (c)  
Cash Equivalents
 
     
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents of $51 and $734 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, consists of investments in money market funds.
 
  (d)  
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
     
The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on a specific review of aged accounts as well as historical write-off experience. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

(Information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 is Unaudited)
  (e)  
Property and Equipment
 
     
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives or, if shorter, the lease terms for leasehold improvements. Gains and losses on sales and retirements of assets are reflected in the results of operations.
 
  (f)  
Intangible Assets
 
     
Intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships and acquired technology. Amortization of intangible assets is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful life.
 
  (g)  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
     
Carrying amounts of financial instruments held by the Company, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of debt approximates the carrying value of debt at December 31, 2010.
 
     
The Company follows FASB accounting guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosure about such fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques provided for in the standards. The three value techniques are as follows:
         
 
  Market Approach   Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving
 
       
 
  Income Approach   Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques and option pricing models)
 
       
 
  Cost Approach   Amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (often referred to as replacement cost)
The standards clarify that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset, based on the highest and best use of the asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly translation between market participants. As such, fair value is a market based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for evaluating such assumptions, the standards establish a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
         
 
  Level 1   Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
       
 
  Level 2   Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that arc observable either directly or indirectly; or
 
       
 
  Level 3   Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to the fair value measurements on a recurring and nonrecurring basis to determine the appropriate level to classify them for each reporting period. The determination requires significant judgments to be made by the Company. The following is a brief summary of the Company’s classifications within the fair value hierarchy of each major category of asset and liabilities that it measures and reports on its balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis.
   
Cash equivalents — The Company’s cash equivalents represent funds held in money market funds which contain quoted prices in active markets, and accordingly, the Company classifies these as Level 1.
 
   
Warrant liability — The fair value of the warrant liability is based on Level 3 inputs. For this liability the Company developed its own assumptions that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. See note 6 for further discussion of the warrant liability.
The following assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
                     
    December 31, 2010  
    Asset (liability)     Valuation      
    balance     technique   Input level  
Cash equivalents
    51     Market approach     1  
Warrant liability
    (205 )   Income approach     3  
  (h)  
Long-Lived Assets
 
     
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and other intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
 
  (i)  
Goodwill
 
     
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.

(Information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 is Unaudited)
     
FASB ASC Topic 350 requires the Company to assess whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired. The Company estimates the fair value of its single reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would perform the second step of the impairment test, as this is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired. The second step requires a comparison of the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying amount of goodwill to determine if there is impairment.
 
     
In December 2010, the Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test. The Company determined that its fair value was greater than the carrying amount as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Accordingly, there was no indication that goodwill was impaired.
 
  (j)  
Revenue Recognition
 
     
The Company generates revenue primarily from fees from customers accessing its on-demand application service, transactions (prepaid or pay-as-you-go), professional services (site selection and software implementation), as well as advertising and marketing packages. Its customers are corporations that utilize its on-demand meeting management software and suppliers of meeting venues.
 
     
The Company’s corporate products are on-demand web-based solutions to manage and automate every element of corporate meetings and events. This includes planning, budgeting, sourcing of meeting venues, electronic attendee management, expense reconciliations, and measurement reporting. The Company’s corporate solutions include StarCite Spend Management and MeetingView.
 
     
Through the Company’s solutions, meeting planners have the ability to research meeting venues and submit Requests for Proposals (RFP’s). Suppliers of meeting venues utilize MarketView, the Company’s gateway for hotels and other venues, or private label solutions to receive and respond to RFP’s submitted by the Company’s corporate clients through one of its on-demand web-based solutions. Suppliers of meeting venues are able to advertise their properties on the Company’s web-based solutions through StarCite’s marketing programs.
 
     
Customers pay a licensing fee for access to the Company’s solutions, which is recognized ratably over the license period, which is typically three years. In addition, many customers will prepurchase transactions associated with attendee registrations, which are also recognized over the relevant licensing period. Fees associated with implementation and outsourced meeting planning services, included in such agreements, are also recognized ratably over the licensing period. Hotel marketing packages, intended to reach corporate meeting planners, provide various levels of images and information concerning the property. The revenue from the packages is recognized ratably over the life of the contract, which is typically twelve months.
 
     
In addition, the Company earns commissions associated with the negotiation and contracting of hotel meeting space on behalf of corporate meeting planners. The commissions, which are paid by the hotels, are recognized at the time the meeting occurs as no significant performance obligations remain.

Deferred revenue represents advanced billings associated with customer agreements less revenue recognized related thereto. Such amounts are recognized as revenue when the related significant performance obligations have been satisfied.
 
  (k)  
Research and Development
 
     
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
  (l)  
Income Taxes
 
     
The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events other than enactments or changes in the tax law or rates are considered. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
     
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to audit by various tax authorities. The Company provides for tax contingencies whenever it is deemed probable that a tax asset has been impaired or a tax liability has been incurred for events such as tax claims or changes in tax laws. Tax contingencies are based upon their technical merits, relative tax law, and the specific facts and circumstances as of each reporting period. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in material changes to the amounts recorded for such tax contingencies.
 
     
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if it is “more-likely than-not” that such positions will be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. See note 7 for additional information.
 
  (m)  
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
     
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash balances and trade receivables. The Company does not require collateral from its customers.
 
     
For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no single customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s net sales. One customer accounted for 13% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, no single customer represented more than 10% of accounts receivable.
 
  (n)  
Stock-Based Compensation
 
     
The Company accounts for stock-based payments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires that all stock-based payments, including grants of employee stock options and nonvested shares, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values at date of grant. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, the cost of services received in exchange for stock options and similar awards are recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which an award recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation expense for awards granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of actual forfeitures. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (Black Scholes) option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of its stock-based awards.
 
  (o)  
Use of Estimates
 
     
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates include evaluation of the Company’s goodwill, intangible assets, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and commitments and contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets and reductions in information technology spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s accounting estimates with respect to the useful life of intangible assets and the ultimate recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets could change in the near term and that the effect of such changes on the financial statements could be material.
 
  (p)  
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
 
     
For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid interest of $661, $568 and $310, respectively. The Company paid $0, $197 and $67 of income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In 2009, a stockholder repaid a debt on behalf of the Company which was treated as a capital contribution (see note 6).
 
     
Capital lease obligations of $659, $0 and $0 were incurred in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, when the Company entered into a lease for furniture and fixtures and computer and equipment.
 
  (q)  
Deferred Commissions
 
     
The Company capitalizes commission costs that are incremental and directly related to the acquisition of customer contracts. Commission costs are accrued and capitalized upon execution of the sales contract by the customer. Payments to sales personnel are made shortly after the receipt of the related customer payment. Deferred commissions are amortized over the term of the related customer contract and are recoverable through the related future revenue streams.

Foreign Currency Translation
 
     
Translation adjustment are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity labeled accumulated other comprehensive income. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
     
In January 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance requiring additional fair value disclosures related to inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value as well as disclosures about significant transfers between levels in the hierarchy of fair value measurement. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2010, and did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
     
In October 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to revenue recognition for transactions with multiple deliverables, which impacts the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2011, however, early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Amortization expense for intangible assets amounted to $2,063, $2,383 and $2,711 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) and Strategic Distribution and License Agreement (Service Agreement) with Maritz Travel Company (Maritz) on December 15, 2006 (together, the Maritz Agreements). As part of the Maritz Agreements, StarCite acquired certain developed technology for $1,297. Maritz entered into a five-year Service Agreement with the Company during which Maritz will utilize the Company’s spend and attendee management applications with a minimum commitment of $3,600. Since the Maritz Agreements were negotiated as one transaction, they were accounted for as a multiple-element agreement. Accordingly, the amortization of the technology cost is being amortized as a reduction of revenue over the life of the Service Agreement, which totaled $259 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

On February 3, 2009, the Company secured a two-year revolving line-of-credit facility (the Credit Facility) with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). The Credit Facility is a revolving line-of-credit for a term of 24 months that permits borrowing up to $7,500 (including a sub-limit of $1,000 for letters of credit) subject to limitations based on the achievement of certain performance measures (free cash flow and quick ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility) and 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority secured interest in all of StarCite’s assets. The Credit Facility subjects the Company to various financial and reporting covenants, including the achievement of certain free cash flow milestones measured on a trailing three-month basis (as defined in the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility bears interest at the U.S. prime rate plus 1.5% to 3.0% based on the maintenance of certain balance sheet ratios and includes unused line fees, letter of credit fees and other customary fees. In March and September 2010 and February 2011, the Company amended the Credit Facility to modify certain financial covenants for the remaining term of the Credit Facility and to extend the term to March 15, 2011. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, $1,904 and $0 was outstanding under the Credit Facility. Interest expense on the Credit Facility was $253 and $135 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
During 2010, the Company incurred additional short-term borrowings of $312. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding balance on short-term borrowings was $56 and $67. The outstanding balance is due in monthly installments through 2011.

Notes Payable
Notes Payable
On December 15, 2006, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire certain developed technology (note 3) from a stockholder who holds less than 1% interest in the Company. The purchase price was $1,500 payable over three years. The payments were non interest-bearing and, accordingly, the note was recorded net of discount of $203. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded imputed interest expense of $21 and $66, respectively. The Company made payments of $563 during each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. No amounts were outstanding under the note at December 31, 2009.
On February 3, 2009, the Company secured a $4,000 term loan with Horizon Technology Finance (the Horizon Loan). The Company used the proceeds from the Horizon Loan as well as cash on hand to extinguish its outstanding obligations to Comerica Bank. These obligations consisted of $3,493 related to short-term borrowings under an expired line-of-credit facility and $885 associated with an equipment line loan.
The Horizon Loan is a forty-two month installment loan bearing interest at a rate based on the greater of 12.05% or 12.05% plus increases in the Libor rate above 3.03%. Payments through December 31, 2009 were interest only ($41 per month) with the remaining thirty three payments consisting of principal plus interest of $143 each. In addition, the Company is obligated to make a one-time payment of $400 with the last installment on September 1, 2012. The Company is not subject to any financial covenants under the Horizon Loan. The Horizon Loan contains certain cross-default provisions with the Credit Facility. The balance at December 31, 2010 is $2,695.

The Company had a note payable to a stockholder of the Company, who holds less than 1% interest in the Company. The note payable bore interest at 6% per year, and the principal and accrued interest were due in August 2009. The Company incurred $109 and $138 of interest expense related to this note payable in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
On February 3, 2009, one of the Company’s stockholders, entered into certain arrangements whereby this stockholder guaranteed this note payable. Under these arrangements, this stockholder placed approximately $3,600 into a bank account that was used to repay this debt when it matured or otherwise became due and payable. In May 2009, the stockholder repaid the debt on behalf of the Company. The extinguishment of the debt has been recorded as a capital contribution in 2009.

OnVantage had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $138,349 at the date of acquisition, which have been fully reserved. Under current tax laws, if the Company is acquired by or merges with another company, the net operating losses of the Company (including those of OnVantage) may be substantially reduced or eliminated. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the utilization of a corporation’s net operating loss carryforwards is limited following a change in ownership of greater than 50% within a three-year period. Due to the Company’s prior equity transactions, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation generally determined by multiplying the market value of the Company on the date of the ownership change by the federal long-term tax-exempt rate. Any amount exceeding the annual limitation may be carried forward to future years for the balance of the net operating loss carryforward period.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the carrying amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, the deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance of $71,180 and $70,602 at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
The change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was an increase of $578 and $282, respectively.

Additionally, the Company has recorded deferred rent to reflect the excess rent expense over actual cash payments since the inception of the lease. Rent expense under these leases (excluding lease restructuring reserves discussed in note 4) amounted to $1,499, $1,282 and $1,795 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
     
Future minimum lease payments (including the lease that is reserved — see note 4) for each of the following years are as follows:

(Information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 is Unaudited)
The estimated fair value of options granted was calculated using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The Black Scholes model incorporates assumptions to value stock-based awards. The Company uses historical data on exercise timing to determine the expected life assumption. The risk-free rate of interest for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. Government Securities Treasury Constant Maturities over the expected term of the equity instrument. The Company’s common stock is not publicly traded; therefore, expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of selected companies whose services are comparable to that of the Company. The table below outlines the weighted average assumptions for these grants:
                 
    Year ended December 31  
    2010     2009  
Weighted average expected volatility
    72.6 %     71.6 %
Expected term (years)
    6.2       6.2  
Risk-free interest rate
    2.8 %     2.7 %
Expected dividend yield
           
The fair value of share-based awards is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures.

Nonvested Shares
The Company may grant nonvested share awards to employees, nonemployee directors, and consultants. A nonvested share award is an award of common shares that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period, such as an employee’s continued employment combined with the Company achieving certain financial goals. The Company holds the common shares during the restriction period, and the grantee cannot transfer the shares before the termination of that period. The grantee is, however, generally entitled to vote the common shares and receive any dividends declared and paid on the Company’s common shares during the restriction period. Stock-based compensation resulting from nonvested awards for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $6, $282 and $883, respectively, and is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Total unrecognized compensation cost of nonvested shares granted as of December 31, 2010 was $10, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years.
