We serve over a million consumers a day across a proprietary network of 1,200 sites (web & mobile)

Forecasting ~35% revenue growth 2011-2012 with $0.10/share Adjusted Net Income*

We cannot project the non-cash gain or loss in connection with the warrant liability, and
therefore cannot reasonably project our GAAP net income. See reconciliation of Adjusted Net
