InfoSpace, Inc. (“InfoSpace”, “Our” or “We”) is a diversified technology and services company comprised of our Search & Directory and Mobile business units. We were founded in 1996 and are incorporated in the state of Delaware. Our principal corporate offices are located in Bellevue, Washington. We also have facilities in Los Angeles and San Mateo, California; Westboro, Massachusetts; Woking and Eastleigh, United Kingdom; Papendrecht, The Netherlands; and Wedel, Germany. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “INSP.”

Prior to 1997, we had insignificant revenues and were primarily engaged in the development of technology for the aggregation, integration and distribution of Internet content. In 1997, we expanded our operations, adding sales personnel to capitalize on the opportunity to generate Internet advertising revenues and began generating significant revenue with our on-line services. Since then, we have expanded and enhanced our products and application services through both internal development and acquisitions.

In 2003 and 2004, we tightened our strategic focus to two businesses: Search & Directory and Mobile. We sold our Payment Solutions business for $82.0 million in cash and sold or otherwise disposed of other non-core services, expanded our Search & Directory business, which included the acquisition of Switchboard Incorporated (“Switchboard”), an on-line directory company, and expanded our Mobile business with the acquisition of several mobile content and application businesses.

Company Internet Site and Availability of SEC Filings. Our corporate Internet site is located at www.infospaceinc.com. We make available on that site our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments to those filings, and other filings we make electronically with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The filings can be found in the Investor Relations section of our site and are available free of charge. Information on our Internet site is not part of this Form 10-K. In addition to our Web site, the SEC maintains an Internet site at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding us and other issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

Our Search & Directory services enable Internet users to locate information, merchants, individuals and products on-line. We offer Search & Directory services through our branded Web sites, InfoSpace.com, Dogpile.com, Switchboard.com, Webcrawler.com and MetaCrawler.com, as well as through the Web properties of distribution partners. Partner versions of our Search & Directory services are generally private-labeled and delivered with each customer’s unique requirements.

Revenue growth in Search & Directory is primarily determined by two key drivers: the number of paid searches and the price per paid search. Generally, each time a user “clicks” on a commercial search result or views a paid directory listing, the search engine or listing provider pays us a fee. Beginning in the second quarter of 2003, we began reporting the number of paid searches and the average revenue per paid search. Our Search & Directory business in North America generated an aggregate of approximately 750 million paid searches during the year ended December 31, 2004, at an average revenue per paid search of approximately $0.17.

Our Search properties enable Internet users to locate relevant information, merchants and products on-line. We deliver results from leading search engines, including Yahoo! and Google, among others. Our search offerings differ from most other mainstream search services in that they provide “meta-search” technology that selects results from several search engines. We offer search services through our own Web sites, as well as through the Web properties of distribution partners including WebSearch.com, WhenU.com, Cablevision, Verizon Online, Info.com and others. The majority of Search revenue growth in 2004 and 2003 was generated through the addition of new distribution partners and the growth of existing distribution partners.

We compete against major Internet portals and other providers of Web search services. We also compete against more traditional advertising media, including radio, network and cable television, newspaper, magazines, Internet, direct mail and others for a share of the U.S. advertising media market.

Our Directory services include on-line yellow and white pages services. InfoSpace Directory properties help Internet users find local and national merchants and individuals in North America. With our Directory products, users can identify local or national businesses, locate contact information for friends and associates, or search for items to buy, sell, or rent. We offer Directory services through our branded Web sites, such as Switchboard.com and InfoSpace.com, as well as through distribution relationships. Our distribution partners include AT&T’s Anywho.com and AOL.

On June 3, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Switchboard, a provider of local on-line advertising and Internet based yellow pages, for $7.75 per share totaling approximately $159.4 million in cash, plus transaction fees of approximately $6.2 million, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $165.6 million. As of the acquisition date, Switchboard had approximately $56.4 million in cash and marketable securities and no debt. We acquired Switchboard to further expand our presence in the on-line directory industry, and, in addition to other items, because of Switchboard’s brand name and trademark recognition and existing traffic base.

Our on-line yellow page services allow users to find telephone, address and other information for local and national merchants. We provide both on-line and “brick-and-mortar” merchants with a Web-based yellow pages listing that is targeted to consumers looking specifically for the products and services that those merchants offer. We obtain the underlying directory listings primarily through our relationships with Verizon, BellSouth and Dex Media.

Our on-line white pages service enables users to find telephone and address information, as well as more detailed information, on individuals. In the white pages market, we have relationships with U.S. advertisers of services that make available public information on people and businesses, and derive substantially all of our revenue from advertising.

Our Directory services compete against major Internet portals, print and on-line directories from the Regional Bell Operating Companies (“RBOCs”), and independent print and Web-based directories. We also compete against more traditional advertising media, including radio, network and cable television, newspapers, magazines, Internet, direct mail and others for a share of the total U.S. advertising market.

Our Mobile division provides mobile media products and content to mobile operators across multiple devices and portal and infrastructure services that enable mobile carriers to deliver content and programming to their subscribers. Through our products, content and service offerings, our mobile operator partners are able to aggregate, configure and customize the services they offer under their own brand and deliver them to their customers.

In November 2003, we acquired Moviso LLC (“Moviso”), a mobile media company, from Vivendi Universal Net USA Group, Inc. for $25.0 million in cash. The acquisition of Moviso provided us with mobile operator relationships and an extensive content library, primarily ringtones and graphics, improving our ability to help content brands and media companies get their content and applications quickly and easily to wireless subscribers. Additionally, during 2004 and early 2005, we expanded our mobile content portfolio by acquiring three mobile gaming companies. On July 1, 2004, we acquired the assets of Atlas Mobile, Inc. (“Atlas Mobile”), a provider of mobile multi-player tournament games, for $6.3 million in cash. The acquisition of Atlas Mobile allows us to add multiplayer gaming to our portfolio of applications and products. On December 1, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of IOMO Limited (“IOMO”), a designer and publisher of mobile games, for approximately $15.4 million in cash, and on January 7, 2005, we acquired elkware GmbH (“elkware”), a German mobile games company, for approximately $26.4 million in cash. The acquisition of both IOMO and elkware expands our role in mobile games by increasing our gaming product portfolio and European operator relationships. Additionally, the acquisition of elkware provides us with a proprietary porting capability technology which allows our games to be converted more rapidly to different mobile phone application platforms.

Today, the Mobile division generates revenue primarily from transaction fees, subscriber fees, revenue sharing fees, set-up fees and professional service fees. As of December 31, 2004, we had relationships with many leading mobile operators, including Cingular Wireless, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, and Virgin Mobile, and media publishers including Sony BMG, EMI, Warner and Universal Music Group.

Competitors include mobile application providers, mobile application aggregators, mobile application enablers, entertainment and other digital media companies, and the mobile operators themselves.

Our search services and mobile services are generally impacted by traditional retail seasonality, with sales usually increasing in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. Additionally, our search & directory services are generally affected by seasonal fluctuations in Internet usage, which generally declines in the summer months.

We currently maintain facilities in the United States, The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany.

We have historically generated most of our revenues from customers in the United States. Revenue generated in the United States accounted for 93% in 2004, 88% in 2003 and 89% in 2002 of our total revenues in those years.

Our revenues are derived from products and services delivered to our customers across our two business units, Search & Directory and Mobile. In 2003 and 2002, we derived 7.9% and 15.0%, respectively, of our revenue from our non-core services. As of the end of 2003, we had sold or otherwise disposed of our non-core services. Additionally, we sold our Payment Solutions business on March 31, 2004, and revenue from the Payment Solutions business is reflected as part of our discontinued operations.

Search & Directory Revenue: We generate revenues from our Web search and directory (on-line yellow pages and white pages) services. Revenues are generated when an end-user of our services generates a paid search at our Web site. We also generate revenue from paid searches through a distribution partner’s Web property. Revenues are recognized in the period in which a paid search occurs and are based on the amounts earned and remitted to us. We also generate advertising revenues by selling banner, button and text-link advertisements based on cost per search or page view, which are recognized when the services are delivered.

Mobile Revenue: We earn revenues, typically from agreements with mobile operators, for content delivery services, which include both product downloads or subscriber usage, hosting and maintenance services and professional services. We recognize revenue from media and content downloads when the product is delivered. We recognize subscriber revenues based on a fee per user or per usage by the end user. We recognize revenue from hosting services and maintenance of such services in the period in which the service is provided. We sometimes earn one-time user set-up fees, which are generally amortized over the term of the customer contract. We also generate revenues from professional services, which are recognized as revenue in the period in which the work is completed and accepted by the customer.

We believe that our technology is essential to successfully implement our strategy of expanding and enhancing our Search & Directory services and Mobile products, expanding in the mobile data market and maintaining the attractiveness and competitiveness of our products and services. Product development expenses were $23.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2004, $17.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2003, and $29.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2002.

Our success depends significantly upon our technology. To protect our rights, we rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, patents, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties and protective contractual provisions. Most of our employees have executed confidentiality and non-use agreements that contain provisions prohibiting the unauthorized disclosure and use of our confidential and proprietary information and that transfer any rights they may have in copyrightable works or patentable technologies to us that they may develop while under our employ. In addition, prior to entering into discussions with potential content providers and customers regarding our business and technologies, we generally require that such parties enter into nondisclosure agreements with us. If these discussions result in a license or other business relationship, we also generally require that the agreement setting forth the parties’ respective rights and obligations include provisions for the protection of our intellectual property rights. For example, the standard language in our agreements provides that we retain ownership of all patents and copyrights in our technologies and requires our customers to display our patent, copyright and trademark notices.

We hold 66 U.S. registered trademarks and 122 foreign trademarks registered in various countries. We also have applied for registration of certain service marks and trademarks in the United States and in other countries, and will seek to register additional marks in the U.S. and foreign countries, as appropriate. We may not be successful in obtaining registration for the service marks and trademarks for which we have applied.

We hold 38 U.S. patents. Our issued patents relate to our on-line directory, advertisement and location services, among others. We have many issued foreign patents and patents pending covering some of these technologies. We are currently pursuing certain pending U.S. and foreign patent applications that relate to various aspects of our technology. We anticipate on-going patent application activity in the future. However, patent claims may not be issued, and, if issued, may be challenged or invalidated. In addition, issued patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages and may be challenged or invalidated by third parties.

Despite our efforts to protect our rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our products or services or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect

proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. In addition, others could independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. If we do not effectively protect our intellectual property, our business could suffer.

Companies in the Internet software and application services industry have frequently resorted to litigation regarding intellectual property rights. We may have to litigate to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of others’ proprietary rights. From time to time, we have received, and may receive in the future, notice of claims of infringement of others’ proprietary rights. Responding to any such claims could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention, cause product or service release delays, require us to redesign our products or services or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. If a successful claim of infringement were made against us and we could not develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely and cost-effective basis, our business could suffer.

MetaCrawler License Agreement. We hold an exclusive, perpetual worldwide license, subject to certain limited exceptions, to the MetaCrawler intellectual property and related search technology from the University of Washington, which we use in our Search business.

We operate in the Internet software and application and mobile services markets, which are extremely competitive and rapidly changing. Our current and prospective competitors include many large companies that have substantially greater resources than we have. We believe that the primary competitive factors in the market for mobile and Internet software and applications are:

Although we believe that no one competitor offers all of the products and services we do, our primary offerings face competition from various sources. We compete, directly or indirectly, in the following ways, among others:

We expect that in the future we will experience competition from other Internet software and application and mobile services companies. Some of these companies are currently customers or distribution partners of ours, the loss of which could harm our business.

Many of our current customers have established relationships with some of our current and potential future competitors. Some of our customers are also our competitors. If our competitors develop software and application services that are superior to ours, or that achieve greater market acceptance than ours, our business will suffer.

Because of the increasing use of the Internet and wireless devices, U.S. and foreign governments have adopted or may in the future adopt laws and regulations relating to the Internet or use of wireless devices, addressing issues such as user privacy, pricing, age verification, content, taxation, copyrights, distribution, and product and services quality.

Recent concerns regarding Internet and wireless device user privacy have led to the introduction of U.S. federal and state legislation to protect user privacy. Existing laws regarding user privacy that we may be subject to include the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which regulates the on-line and, in some interpretations, wireless collection of personal information from children under 13, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which regulates the collection and processing of personal financial information. Also, with respect to our tournament games, certain states prohibit the provision of prizes in mobile games, and other states may adopt similar prohibitions. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) has initiated investigations and hearings regarding Internet user privacy, which could result in rules or regulations that could adversely affect our business. As a result, we could become subject to new laws and regulations that could limit our ability to conduct targeted advertising, or to distribute or collect user information. The various states likewise have sought to regulate advertising and privacy.

The various states have likewise sought to regulate advertising and privacy in ways that that may effect the collection, use and disclosure of information. For example, California recently passed several laws relating the collection, storage and distribution of personal information, requiring in part the posting of a privacy policy and disclosure of how information is shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Outside of the United States, other countries have more restrictive privacy laws. The European Union, for example, strictly regulates the collection, use and transfer of personal information of European residents. Further, information lawfully collected in the European Union may not be transferred for processing outside Europe to a country that lacks adequate protections. The European Union has deemed the U.S. to lack such protections and transfers are only permitted under limited circumstances. Other countries such as Canada follow the European model. These and similar restrictions may limit our ability to collect and use information regarding Internet users in those countries.

We may be subject to provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act that regulate advertising in all media, including the Internet, and require advertisers to substantiate advertising claims before disseminating advertising. The FTC has the power to enforce this Act. It has recently brought several actions charging deceptive advertising via the Internet and is actively monitoring advertising via the Internet. States as well have brought such actions. In addition to U.S. laws regulating advertising, other countries strictly regulate direct and indirect marketing over the Internet. For example, the European Union has enacted an electronic communications directive that imposes certain restrictions on the use of cookies and action tags as well as sending of unsolicited communications.

We may also be subject to the provisions of the Child Online Protection Act, which restricts the distribution of certain materials deemed harmful to children. The Act is also designed to restrict access to such materials by children, and accordingly, the provisions of this Act may apply to certain Internet and wireless product and service providers even though such companies are not engaged in the business of distributing the harmful materials. Although some court decisions have cast doubt on the constitutionality of this Act, and we have instituted processes for voluntary compliance with provisions of the Act that may be relevant to our business, it could subject us to liability.

These or any other laws or regulations that may be enacted in the future could have adverse effects on our business, including higher regulatory compliance costs, limitations on our ability to provide some services in some countries, and liabilities which might be incurred through lawsuits or regulatory penalties. For example, California requires and several other states are considering requiring that customers whose personal information is disclosed as part of a security breach be notified of the disclosure. We believe we take reasonable steps to protect the security and confidentiality of the information we collect and store but there is no guarantee that third parties will not gain unauthorized access despite our efforts.

As of February 25, 2005, we had approximately 515 employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider employee relations to be positive. There is competition for qualified personnel in our industry, particularly for software development and other technical staff. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to hire and retain qualified personnel.

Ms. Wittman holds a BS/BA in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and an MBA from the University of Virginia’s Darden Graduate School of Business.

We have a history of incurring net losses, we may incur net losses in the future, and we may not be able to sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

We have incurred net losses on an annual basis from our inception through December 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.2 billion. We may continue to incur net losses in the future. Some of our operating expenses are fixed. We may in the future incur losses from the impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, losses from acquisitions, or restructuring charges. We must therefore generate revenues sufficient to offset these expenses in order for us to be profitable. While we achieved profitability in each of our last six fiscal quarters and on an annual basis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, we may not be able to sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

Our revenues are dependent on our relationships with companies who distribute our products and services.

We rely on our relationships with distribution partners, including Web portals, software application providers and mobile operators, for distribution or usage of our products and application services. We generated approximately 55% of our total revenues through our relationships with our top ten distribution partners for the year ended December 31, 2004. In particular, we rely on a small number of distribution partners for a significant portion of the revenues associated with our search and directory products, and most of these partners are development-stage companies with limited operating histories and evolving business models. We cannot assure you that any of these relationships will continue, be sustainable or result in benefits to us that outweigh the costs of the relationships. In addition, our Search & Directory distribution partners or mobile operators may create their own content or license content directly from others that competes with or replaces the content that we provide.

Certain of our agreements with our distribution partners will come up for renewal in 2005 and 2006, and our mobile operator contracts generally come up for renewal on an annual basis. Also, if a distribution partner does not comply with their agreement with us, we may terminate the agreement. Such agreements may be terminated or may not be renewed or replaced on favorable terms, which could adversely impact our operating results and earnings. In particular, competition is increasing for consumer traffic in the search and directory markets and we are currently experiencing pricing pressure in our wireless business. We anticipate that the cost of our revenue sharing arrangements with our distribution partners will increase as revenues grow and may increase on a relative basis compared to revenues to the extent that there are changes to existing arrangements or we enter into new revenue sharing arrangements on less favorable terms.

Certain terms of our agreements with our third party content providers may be amended from time to time by both parties or may be subject to different interpretation by either party, which may require the rights we grant to our distribution partners to be modified to comply with such amendments or interpretations. Our agreements with our distribution partners in our Search & Directory business generally provide that we may modify the rights we grant to our distribution partners to avoid being in conflict with the agreements with our content providers. Failure of a distribution partner to comply with any such modification may require us either to not provide content from the applicable content provider to such distribution partner or to terminate the distribution agreement.

If we are unable to maintain these relationships on favorable terms, our financial results would materially suffer.

A substantial portion of our revenues is attributable to a small number of customers, the loss of any one of which would harm our financial results.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. We expect that this concentration will continue in the foreseeable future. Our top ten customers represented approximately 89%,

82% and 66% of our revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Yahoo!, Google, Cingular Wireless and Verizon each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2004. Yahoo!, Verizon, and Google each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2003. Yahoo! and Verizon each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2002. Our agreements with these customers expire in 2005 and 2006. If we lose any of these customers, are unable to renew the contracts on favorable terms, or if any of these customers are unable or unwilling to pay us amounts that they owe us, our financial results would materially suffer.

Our financial results are likely to continue to fluctuate, which could cause our stock price to be volatile or decline.

Our financial results have varied on a quarterly basis and are likely to fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations could cause our stock price to be volatile or decline. Several factors could cause our quarterly results to fluctuate materially, including:

For these reasons, among others, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of our financial results to forecast our future performance. Furthermore, our fluctuating operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which could cause the trading price of our stock to decline.

We operate in new and rapidly evolving markets, and our business model continues to evolve, which make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.

Our potential for future profitability must be considered in the light of the risks, uncertainties, and difficulties encountered by companies that are in new and rapidly evolving markets and continuing to innovate with new and unproven technologies or services, as well as undergoing significant change. Our Search & Directory and Mobile businesses are in young industries that have undergone rapid and dramatic changes in their short history. In addition to the other risks we describe in this section, some of these risks relate to our potential inability to:

If we do not effectively address the risks we face, we may not sustain profitability.

Our strategic direction is evolving, which could negatively affect our future results.

Since inception, our business model has evolved and is likely to continue to evolve as we refine our product offerings and market focus. In particular, in 2003 we completed an in-depth analysis of our business and have since tightened our strategic focus to our Search & Directory and Mobile businesses. Businesses and services falling outside of these areas, including our Payment Solutions business, were sold or otherwise divested. There can be no assurance that our increased focus on and investment in our core businesses will produce better financial results than we would have achieved with our prior businesses or that we will be successful in effectively utilizing the proceeds of the sales. Further changes in strategic direction may occur as we continue to evaluate opportunities in a rapidly evolving market. These changes to our business may not prove successful in the short or long term and may negatively impact our financial results.

In addition, we have in the past and may in the future find it advisable to streamline operations and reduce expenses, including, without limitation, such measures as reductions in the workforce, reductions in discretionary spending, reductions in capital expenditures as well as other steps to reduce expenses. Effecting any such restructuring would likely place significant strains on management and our operational, financial, employee and other resources. In addition, any such restructuring could impair our development, marketing, sales and customer support efforts or alter our product development plans.

Our financial and operating results will suffer if we are unsuccessful at integrating acquired businesses.

We have acquired a number of technologies and businesses in the past and may engage in further acquisitions in the future. For example, in November 2003, we acquired Moviso, a provider of mobile media content, entertainment and personalization services; in June 2004, we acquired Switchboard, a provider of local on-line advertising solutions and Internet-based yellow pages; in July 2004, we acquired the assets of Atlas Mobile, a provider of mobile multi-player tournament games; in December 2004 we acquired IOMO, a U.K. developer and publisher of mobile games; and in January 2005, we acquired elkware, a German developer and publisher of mobile games.

Acquisitions may involve use of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of stock, the potential incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities or amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets. In the past, our financial results have suffered significantly due to impairment charges of goodwill and other intangible assets related to prior acquisitions. Acquisitions also involve numerous risks which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or stock price, including:

The success of the operations of companies and technologies that we have acquired will often depend on the continued efforts of the management and key employees of those acquired companies. Accordingly, we have typically attempted to retain key employees and members of existing management of acquired companies under the overall supervision of our senior management. We have, however, not always been successful in these attempts at retention. Failure to retain key employees of an acquired company may make it more difficult to integrate or manage the business of the acquired company, and may reduce the anticipated benefits of the acquisition by increasing costs, causing delays, or otherwise.

We depend on third parties for content, and the loss of access to or increased cost of this content could cause us to reduce our product offerings to customers and could negatively impact our financial results.

We currently create only a relatively small portion of our content. In most cases, we acquire rights to content from numerous third-party content providers, and our future success is highly dependent upon our ability to maintain relationships with these content providers and enter into new relationships with other content providers.

We typically license content under arrangements that require us to pay usage or fixed monthly fees for the use of the content or require us to pay under a revenue-sharing arrangement. Further, our musical composition and other media licenses for the creation of mobile content consisting of ringtones generally require royalty payments on a “most favored nation” basis, which requires us to pay the highest royalty paid to any licensor to all such licensors. In the future, some of our content providers may not give us access to important content or may increase the royalties, fees or percentages that they charge us for their content, which could have a negative impact on our net earnings. If we fail to enter into or maintain satisfactory arrangements with content providers, our ability to provide a variety of products and services to our customers could be severely limited, thus harming our operating results. Additionally, our content license and royalty fees will increase to the extent that our revenues related to such products and services increase and may increase as a percent of revenues as a result of price competition and carrier demand for our products and services and the mix of our product sales.

The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile. Since we began trading on December 15, 1998, our stock price has ranged from $3.70 to $1,385.00 (as adjusted for stock splits). On February 25, 2005, the closing price of our common stock was $41.13. Our stock price could decline or be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the other risks discussed in this section and the following, among others:

In addition, the stock market in general, and the Nasdaq National Market and the market for Internet and technology company securities in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These broad market and industry factors and general economic conditions may materially and adversely affect our stock price.

We are subject to legal proceedings that could result in liability and damage our business.

We have been, and expect to continue to be, subject to legal proceedings and claims. Approximately ten lawsuits are currently pending in which claims have been asserted against us or current and former directors and executive officers, in addition to ordinary course commercial and collection matters and intellectual property infringement claims that we believe are not material to our business. We are unable to determine the amount for which we potentially could be liable since a number of these lawsuits do not specify an amount for damages sought. We maintain insurance which may cover some defense costs and some of the claims, should we not prevail. Such proceedings and claims, even if claims against us are not meritorious, require the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, which could materially harm our business. We believe we have meritorious defenses to all the claims currently made against us. However, litigation is inherently uncertain, and we may not prevail in these suits. We cannot predict whether future claims will be made or the ultimate resolution of any current or future claim. For an expanded discussion of material pending legal proceedings, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.

We may not be able to collect all or a portion of our payroll tax receivable.

As of December 31, 2004, we had $13.2 million recorded as a tax receivable. In October 2000, Anuradha Jain, a former officer of InfoSpace and the spouse of Naveen Jain, our former chairman and chief executive officer, exercised non-qualified stock options. We withheld and remitted to the IRS $12.6 million for federal income taxes based on the market price of the stock on the day of exercise and we also remitted the employer payroll tax of $620,000. Due primarily to the affiliate lock-up period resulting from our merger with Go2Net, Inc., the former officer was restricted from transferring or selling the stock until February 2001, and we believe that such restriction delayed the taxation of income until the restriction lapsed. We, therefore, returned the federal income tax withholding to the former officer and filed an amendment to our payroll tax return to request the tax refund. Our payroll tax returns for the year 2000 have been audited by the IRS and we have received an examination report from the IRS disallowing the claim for the refund of $13.2 million. We are appealing that determination by the IRS and may seek recovery from the former officer. We believe that we have meritorious arguments to recover this receivable and that it is probable that we will recover this receivable. However, there can be no assurance regarding the timing, structure or extent of our recovery of this tax receivable.

Our efforts to increase our presence in markets outside the United States may be unsuccessful and could result in losses.

We have limited experience in developing localized versions of our products and services internationally, and we may not be able to successfully execute our business model in these markets. Our success in these markets will be directly linked to the success of relationships with our customers and other third parties.

As the international markets in which we operate continue to grow, competition in these markets will intensify. Local companies may have a substantial competitive advantage because of their greater understanding of and focus on the local markets. International expansion may also require significant financial investment including, among other things, the expense of developing localized products, the costs of acquiring existing foreign companies and the integration of such companies with existing operations, expenditure of resources in developing customer and distribution relationships and the increased costs of supporting remote operations.

Other risks of doing business in international markets include the increased risks and burdens of complying with different legal and regulatory standards, difficulties in managing and staffing foreign operations, limitations on the repatriation of funds and fluctuations of foreign exchange rates, and varying levels of Internet technology adoption and infrastructure. In addition, our success in international expansion could be limited by barriers to international expansion such as tariffs, adverse tax consequences, and technology export controls. If we cannot manage these risks effectively, the costs of doing business in some international markets may be prohibitive or our costs may increase disproportionately to our revenues.

We have implemented anti-takeover provisions that could make it more difficult to acquire us.

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors, even if the transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders. Provisions of our charter documents which could have an anti-takeover effect include:

On July 19, 2002, our board of directors adopted a stockholder rights plan, pursuant to which we declared and paid a dividend of one right for each share of common stock held by stockholders of record as of August 9, 2002. Unless redeemed by us prior to the time the rights are exercised, upon the occurrence of certain events, the rights will entitle the holders to receive shares of our preferred stock, or shares of an acquiring entity. The issuance of the rights would make the acquisition of InfoSpace more expensive to the acquirer and could delay or discourage third parties from acquiring InfoSpace without the approval of our board of directors.

Our systems could fail or become unavailable, which could harm our reputation, result in a loss of current and potential customers and cause us to breach existing agreements.

Our success depends, in part, on the performance, reliability and availability of our services. We have data centers in Seattle and Bellevue, Washington; Los Angeles, California; Waltham, Massachusetts; Papendrecht, The Netherlands and Hamburg, Germany. We have not yet completed our disaster recovery and redundancy planning, and none of our data centers are currently redundant. Our systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, break-in, earthquake or similar events. We would face significant damage as a result of these events, and our business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for all the losses that may occur. In addition, our systems use sophisticated software that may contain bugs that could interrupt service. For these reasons we may be unable to develop or successfully manage the infrastructure necessary to meet current or future demands for reliability and scalability of our systems.

If the volume of traffic to our products and services increases substantially, we must respond in a timely fashion by expanding our systems, which may entail upgrading our technology and network infrastructure. Due

to the number of our customers and the products and application services that we offer, we could experience periodic capacity constraints which may cause temporary unanticipated system disruptions, slower response times and lower levels of customer service. Our business could be harmed if we are unable to accurately project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of our products and application services or expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate these increases in a timely manner.

Furthermore, we have entered into service level agreements with most of our mobile operator customers and certain other customers. These agreements sometimes call for specific system up times and 24/7 support, and include penalties for non-performance. We may be unable to fulfill these commitments, which could subject us to penalties under our agreements, harm our reputation and result in the loss of customers and distributors.

The security measures we have implemented to secure information we collect and store may be breached, which could cause us to breach existing agreements and expose us to potential investigation by authorities and potential claims by persons whose information was disclosed.

We take reasonable steps to protect the security and confidentiality of the information we collect and store but there is no guarantee that third parties will not gain unauthorized access despite our efforts. If such unauthorized access does occur, we may be required to notify persons whose information was accessed under existing and proposed laws. We also may be subject to claims of breach of contract for such disclosure, investigation by regulatory authorities and potential claims by persons whose information was disclosed.

If we are unable to retain our key employees, we may not be able to successfully manage our business.

Our business and operations are substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees, who are employed on an at-will basis. If we lose the services of one or more of our executive officers or key employees, and are unable to recruit and retain a suitable successor, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our business objectives.

Unless we are able to hire, retain and motivate highly qualified employees, we will be unable to execute our business strategy.

Our future success depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, professional sales and marketing, and corporate development personnel. Our services and the industries to which we provide our services are relatively new. Qualified personnel with experience relevant to our business are scarce and competition to recruit them is intense. If we fail to successfully hire and retain a sufficient number of highly qualified employees, we may have difficulties in supporting our customers or expanding our business. Additional realignments of resources or reductions in workforce, or other future operational decisions could create an unstable work environment and may have a negative effect on our ability to retain and motivate employees.

In light of current market and regulatory conditions, the value of stock options granted to employees may cease to provide sufficient incentive to our employees.

Like many technology companies, we use stock options to recruit technology professionals and senior level employees. Our stock options, which typically vest over a four-year period, are one of the means by which we motivate long-term employee performance. Recent changes in accounting treatment of options requiring us to expense the fair value of our employee stock options beginning with the third quarter of 2005 may make it difficult or overly expensive for us to issue stock options to our employees in the future. We also face a significant challenge in retaining our employees if the value of these stock options is either not substantial enough or so substantial that the employees leave after their stock options have vested. If our stock price does not increase significantly above the prices of our options, or option programs become impracticable, we may in the future need to issue new options or equity incentives or increase other forms of compensation to motivate and

retain our employees. We may undertake or seek stockholder approval to undertake programs to retain our employees, which may be viewed as dilutive to our stockholders or may increase our compensation costs.

We may be subject to liability for our use or distribution of information that we receive from third parties.

We obtain content and commerce information from third parties. When we integrate and distribute this information over the Internet, we may be liable for the data that is contained in that content. This could subject us to legal liability for such things as defamation, negligence, intellectual property infringement and product or service liability, among others. Many of the agreements by which we obtain content do not contain indemnity provisions in favor of us. Even if a given contract does contain indemnity provisions, these provisions may not cover a particular claim. Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover fully the amounts or types of claims that might be made against us. Any liability that we incur as a result of content we receive from third parties could harm our financial results.

We also gather personal information from users in order to provide personalized services. Gathering and processing this personal information may subject us to legal liability for, among other things, negligence, defamation, invasion of privacy, or product or service liability. We may also be subject to laws and regulations, both in the United States and abroad, regarding user privacy. If we do not comply with these laws and regulations, we may be exposed to legal liability.

If others claim that our products infringe their intellectual property rights, we may be forced to seek expensive licenses, reengineer our products, engage in expensive and time-consuming litigation or stop marketing and licensing our products.

We attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights of third parties in our product development efforts. However, we do not regularly conduct patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. Patent searches generally return only a fraction of the issued patents that may be deemed relevant to a particular product or service. It is therefore nearly impossible to determine, with any level of certainty, whether a particular product or service may be construed as infringing a U.S. or foreign patent. Because patent applications in the United States are not publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, applications may have been filed by third parties that relate to our products. In addition, other companies, as well as research and academic institutions, have conducted research for many years in the electronic messaging field, and this research could lead to the filing of further patent applications.

In addition to patent claims, third parties may make claims against us alleging infringement of copyrights, trademark rights, trade secret rights or other proprietary rights, or alleging unfair competition or violations of privacy rights.

If we were to discover that our products violated or potentially violated third-party proprietary rights, we might be required to obtain licenses that are costly or contained terms unfavorable to us, or expend substantial resources to reengineer those products so that they would not violate third party rights. Any reengineering effort may not be successful, and we cannot be certain that any such licenses would be available on commercially reasonable terms. Any third-party infringement claims against us could result in costly litigation and be time consuming to defend, divert management’s attention and resources, cause product and service delays or require us to enter into royalty and licensing agreements.

Our Search & Directory products and services may expose us to claims relating to how the content was obtained or distributed.

Our Search & Directory services link users, either directly through our Web sites or indirectly through the Web properties of our distribution partners, to third party Web pages and content in response to search queries. These services could expose us to legal liability from claims relating to such third-party content and sites, the

manner in which these services are distributed by us or our distribution partners, or how the content provided by our third-party content providers was obtained or provided by our content providers. Such claims could include: infringement of copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights; violation of privacy and publicity rights; unfair competition; defamation; providing false or misleading information; obscenity; and illegal gambling. Regardless of the legal merits of any such claims, they could result in costly litigation, be time consuming to defend and divert management’s attention and resources. If there was a determination that we had violated third-party rights or applicable law, we could incur substantial monetary liability, be required to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements (if available), or be required to change our business practices. Implementing measures to reduce our exposure to such claims could require us to expend substantial resources and limit the attractiveness of our products and services to our customers. As a result, these claims could result in material harm to our business.

We rely heavily on our technology, but we may be unable to adequately or cost-effectively protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, thus weakening our competitive position and negatively impacting our financial results.

To protect our rights in our products and technology, we rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, patents, trade secrets, and confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties and protective contractual provisions. We also rely on the law pertaining to trademarks and domain names to protect the value of our corporate brands and reputation. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our products or services or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary, or infringe our trademarks. In addition, it is possible that others could independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. If we do not effectively protect our intellectual property, we could lose our competitive position.

Effectively policing the unauthorized use of our products and trademarks is time-consuming and costly, and there can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology or trademarks. Our intellectual property may be subject to even greater risk in foreign jurisdictions, as protection is not sought or obtained in every country in which our services are available. Also, the laws of many countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. If we cannot adequately protect our intellectual property, our competitive position in markets abroad may suffer.

Intense competition in the search, directory and wireless markets could prevent us from increasing distribution of our services in those markets or cause us to lose market share.

Our current business model depends on distribution of our products and services into the search and directory and wireless markets, which are extremely competitive and rapidly changing. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, more developed infrastructures, greater name recognition or more established relationships in the industry than we have. Our competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can, develop and expand their service offerings more rapidly, adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements more quickly, take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily, achieve greater economies of scale, and devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their services. Because of these competitive factors and due to our relatively small size and financial resources, we may be unable to compete successfully.

Some of the companies we compete with are currently customers of ours, the loss of which could harm our business. Many of our customers have established relationships with some of our competitors. If these competitors develop products and services that compete with ours, we could lose market share and our revenues could decrease.

Consolidation in the industries in which we operate could lead to increased competition and loss of customers.

The Internet industry (including the search and directory segments) and the wireless industry have experienced substantial consolidation. We expect this consolidation to continue. These acquisitions could adversely affect our business and results of operations in a number of ways, including the following:

Security breaches may pose risks to the uninterrupted operation of our systems.

Our networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access by hackers or others, computer viruses and other disruptive problems. Someone who is able to circumvent security measures could misappropriate our proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. Subscribers to some of our services are required to provide information in order to utilize the service that may be considered to be personally identifiable or private information. Unauthorized access to, and abuse of, this information could subject us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability.

We may need to expend significant capital or other resources protecting against the threat of security breaches or alleviating problems caused by breaches. Although we intend to continue to implement and improve our security measures, persons may be able to circumvent the measures that we implement in the future. Eliminating computer viruses and alleviating other security problems may require interruptions, delays or cessation of service to users accessing our services, any of which could harm our business.

Governmental regulation and the application of existing laws may slow business growth, increase our costs of doing business and create potential liability.

The growth and development of the Internet has led to new laws and regulations, as well as the application of existing laws to the Internet and wireless communications. Application of these laws can be unclear. The costs of complying or failure to comply with these laws and regulations could limit our ability to operate in our markets, expose us to compliance costs and substantial liability and result in costly and time-consuming litigation.

Several federal or state laws, including the following, could have an impact on our business. Recent federal laws include those designed to restrict the on-line distribution of certain materials deemed harmful to children and impose additional restrictions or obligations for on-line services when dealing with minors. Such legislation may impose significant additional costs on our business or subject us to additional liabilities. The application to advertising in our industries of existing laws regulating or requiring licenses for certain businesses can be unclear. Such regulated businesses may include, for example, gambling; distribution of pharmaceuticals, alcohol, tobacco or firearms; or insurance, securities brokerage and legal services.

We post our privacy policies and practices concerning the use and disclosure of user data. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policies, FTC requirements or other privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings by the FTC or others which could potentially have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In this regard, there are a large number of legislative proposals before the United States Congress and various state legislative bodies regarding privacy issues related to our

business. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could materially and adversely affect our business through a decrease in user registrations and revenues. This could be caused by, among other possible provisions, the required use of disclaimers or other requirements before users can utilize our services.

The FTC has recommended to search engine providers that paid-ranking search results be delineated from non-paid results. To the extent that the FTC may in the future issue specific requirements regarding the nature of such delineation, which would require modifications to the presentation of search results, revenue from the affected search engines could be negatively impacted.

Due to the nature of the Internet, it is possible that the governments of other states and foreign countries might attempt to regulate Internet transmissions or prosecute us for violations of their laws. We might unintentionally violate such laws, such laws may be modified and new laws may be enacted in the future. Any such developments (or developments stemming from enactment or modification of other laws) could increase the costs of regulatory compliance for us or force us to change our business practices.

We rely on the Internet infrastructure, over which we have no control and the failure of which could substantially undermine our operations.

Our success depends, in large part, on other companies maintaining the Internet system infrastructure. In particular, we rely on other companies to maintain a reliable network backbone that provides adequate speed, data capacity and security and to develop products that enable reliable Internet access and services. As the Internet continues to experience growth in the number of users, frequency of use and amount of data transmitted, the Internet system infrastructure may be unable to support the demands placed on it, and the Internet’s performance or reliability may suffer as a result of this continued growth. Some of the companies that we rely upon to maintain the network infrastructure may lack sufficient capital to support their long-term operations.

Our principal corporate office is located in Bellevue, Washington, and we have business operations in: Los Angeles and San Mateo, California; Westboro, Massachusetts; Woking and Eastleigh, United Kingdom, Papendrecht, The Netherlands, and Wedel, Germany. Our Bellevue and Woking facilities are utilized by both our Search & Directory and Mobile businesses; our Westboro facilities are utilized by our Search and Directory business; and our Los Angeles, San Mateo, Eastleigh, Papendrecht and Wedel facilities are utilized by our Mobile business. We have data centers in Bellevue and Seattle, Washington, Los Angeles, California, Waltham, Massachusetts, Papendrecht, The Netherlands, and Hamburg, Germany. All of our facilities are leased. We believe our properties are suitable and adequate for our present and anticipated near term needs.

See Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Item 8) for information regarding legal proceedings.

ITEM 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters

Our common stock has been traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “INSP” since December 15, 1998, the date of our initial public offering. Prior to that time, there was no public market for our common stock. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices for our common stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market.

On February 25, 2005, the last reported sale price for our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $41.13 per share. As of February 25, 2005, there were approximately 1,038 holders of record of our common stock.

We have never declared, nor have we paid, any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our earnings to finance future growth and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

The following selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this report. The selected consolidated statements of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. You should read the cautionary statements made in this report. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in the section entitled “Factors Affecting Our Operating Results, Business Prospects and Market Price of Stock,” as well as those discussed elsewhere herein. You should not rely on these forward-looking statements, which reflect only our opinion as of the date of this report.

Prior to 1997, we had insignificant revenues and were primarily engaged in the development of technology for the aggregation, integration and distribution of Internet content. In 1997, we expanded our operations, adding sales personnel to capitalize on the opportunity to generate Internet advertising revenues and began generating significant revenue with our on-line services. Since then, we have expanded and enhanced our products and application services, including those for the wireless data industry, through both internal development and acquisitions.

In 2003 and 2004, we narrowed our strategic focus to two businesses: Search & Directory and Mobile. In 2003, we sold or otherwise disposed of our non-core services and, in March 2004, we sold our Payment Solutions business.

Our Search & Directory properties enable Internet users to locate information, merchants, individuals and products on-line. We offer Search & Directory services through our branded Web sites: Dogpile.com, Switchboard.com, InfoSpace.com, Webcrawler.com and MetaCrawler.com, as well as through the Web properties of distribution partners. Partner versions of our Search & Directory services are generally private-labeled and delivered with each customer’s unique requirements.

Our Mobile division provides mobile media programming to mobile operators across multiple devices, and infrastructure services that enable them to deliver programming to their subscribers. Our mobile operator partners are able to aggregate, configure and customize the services they offer under their own brand and deliver them to their customers.

The following is an overview of our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2004. A more detailed discussion of our operating results, comparing our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is included the heading “Historical Results of Operations” in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In 2004, we grew and expanded our Search & Directory and Mobile businesses and, in March 2004, we sold our Payment Solutions business. The overall growth in our business was a result of greater focus on expanding our existing products and services and acquisitions of complimentary businesses. We acquired Moviso LLC (“Moviso”), a mobile media content company, in November 2003, Switchboard Incorporated (“Switchboard”), an on-line directory company, in June 2004 and three mobile gaming companies in 2004 and early 2005.

Revenues increased to $249.4 million in 2004 from $132.2 million in 2003. Revenues from our Search & Directory business increased to $156.8 million in 2004 from $93.9 million, primarily due to the growth in search revenues from distribution in our search business, in which we private label our search products for others to offer on their own Web properties. The acquisition of Switchboard expanded the number of on-line users of our services and added several new partner relationships. During 2004, more than 60% of our search revenues from our Search & Directory business came from distribution compared to less than 35% during 2003. We expect that revenue from our distribution partners will continue to be a greater share of our search revenues. Revenues from our Mobile business increased to $92.5 million in 2004 from $27.9 million in 2003, primarily attributable to an increase in sales of our media download products, such as ringtones and graphics.

Our operating expenses in 2004 increased to $203.8 million from $138.1 million in 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to increased distribution costs related to revenue share amounts due to our distribution partners in our Search & Directory business and increased mobile content costs related to media download products. We expect these costs to increase as revenues from these products or services increase. Additionally, other operating costs increased as we expanded our operations, including increases in personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and other employee costs, and amortization of intangible assets related to our acquisitions of Moviso, Switchboard, Atlas Mobile, Inc. (“Atlas Mobile”), and IOMO Limited (“IOMO”), and temporary help from contractors and consultants to augment our staffing needs. Offsetting these increases in operating expenses was a reduction in restructuring charges of $11.5 million from 2003, related to employee severance and other separation charges, a charge for excess facilities, including lease termination costs, and the writedown of leasehold improvements and equipment related to the excess facilities. We did not record similar charges in 2004.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, our net income was $82.4 million compared to a net loss of $6.3 million in 2003. The increase is primarily attributable to the items noted above and a $29.1 million gain on the sale of our Payment Solutions business that was recorded as a gain on the sale of a discontinued operation.

The “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingencies.

The SEC has defined a company’s most critical accounting policies as the ones that are the most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates used, including those related to impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, useful lives of other intangible assets, other-than-temporary impairment of investments, revenue recognition, the estimated allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, restructuring-related liabilities, accrued contingencies and valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and based on information available to us at that time, from which we make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources as well as identify and assess our accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We also have other accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. For additional information see Item 8 of Part II “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, 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. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. As of December 31, 2004 we have approximately $158.8 million of goodwill and $46.2 million of other intangible assets on our balance sheet.

Business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting require management to estimate the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. The allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired may be subject to adjustments during the year following the date of acquisition.

Our revenues are derived from products and services delivered to our customers across our two business units, Search & Directory and Mobile. In general, we recognize revenues in the period in which the services are performed, products are delivered or transaction occurs. In certain customer arrangements, we record deferred revenue for amounts received from customers in advance of the performance of services or upon execution of an agreement and recognize revenues ratably over the term of the agreement or expected customer life. We generally record revenue on a gross basis in accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. For distribution partner arrangements in our Search & Directory business we record revenue on a gross basis and the corresponding revenue sharing payments as a content and distribution expense. For mobile operator customers in which we license the content, we record revenue on a gross basis and the corresponding licensing expense as a content and distribution expense. In the event the mobile operator customer directly licenses the content, we record as revenue the service fees we earn. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of products and services and the related revenue recognition policy for each of our business units.

Our management must make estimates of potential future sales allowances related to current period revenues for our products and services. We analyze historical adjustments, current economic trends and changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales allowances. Estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the sales allowance in any accounting period.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is a management estimate that considers actual facts and circumstances of individual customers and other debtors, such as financial condition and historical payment trends. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance utilizing a combination of specific identification of potentially problematic accounts and identification of accounts that have exceeded payment terms.

Restructuring-related liabilities include estimates for, among other things, anticipated disposition of lease obligations. Key variables in determining such estimates include anticipated commencement timing of sublease

rentals, estimates of sublease rental payment amounts and tenant improvement costs and estimates for brokerage and other related costs. We periodically evaluate and, if necessary, adjust our estimates based on currently available information.

We have provided a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets, primarily comprised of accumulated net operating loss carryforwards as we believe that sufficient uncertainty exists. Once we have reached profitability for an extended period and that realization is reasonably assured, we will reduce a portion or all of the valuation allowance in the period that such a determination is made.

We account for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under the intrinsic method, we do not record any expenses when stock options are granted that are priced at the fair market value of our stock at the date of grant.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, requires that an estimated loss from a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. We evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our financial position or our results of operations. See Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding contingencies.

For the year ending December 31, 2004, our net income totaled $82.4 million, including income from discontinued operations and the gain on our sale of our Payment Solutions business. While we have achieved profitability during our last six quarters, prior to that we have incurred losses since our inception and, as of December 31, 2004, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.2 billion.

In light of the rapidly evolving nature of our business and overall market conditions, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and you should not necessarily rely solely upon them as indications of future performance.

The following table sets forth the historical results of our operations (in thousands and as percent of revenues).

Revenues. Our revenues are derived from deploying our Internet software and applications and mobile services to our customers and distribution partners. Under many of our agreements, we earn revenues from a combination of our products and services delivered to customers that span our business units of Search & Directory and Mobile. In 2003, we sold or otherwise divested all of our non-core services. Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are presented below (in thousands):

The absolute dollar increase in Search & Directory revenue from 2003 to 2004 is primarily due to growth in our paid search services from both our search and directory businesses, in particular, paid searches from our distribution partners’ Web properties and greater revenue per paid search, and directory revenues related to our acquisition of Switchboard in June 2004. In 2004, search revenues from distribution increased to over 60% of our search revenues in North America compared to less than 35% in 2003.

The absolute dollar increase in Search & Directory revenue from 2002 to 2003 primarily reflects the growth in the number of paid searches and greater revenue per paid search, in particular, growth in paid searches from our distribution partners’ Web properties and greater revenue per paid search. In 2002, our search revenues from distribution were less than 10% of our search revenues in North America, compared to less than 35% of our search revenues in 2003.

We expect that search revenue from our distribution partners will continue to be a greater share of our search revenues.

The absolute dollar increase in Mobile revenue from 2003 to 2004 is primarily due to an increase in the sales of our mobile media download and content products as a result of our acquisition of Moviso in November 2003.

During 2003 and 2002, we generated revenue primarily from our from content delivery services, hosting and maintenance services, professional services and other infrastructure services to mobile operators. The absolute dollar decrease in Mobile revenue from 2002 to 2003 is primarily due to the loss of a major customer in 2002, a one-time gain in 2002 from the closure of our operations in Brazil, and pricing reductions. Partially offsetting the decrease in 2003 were revenues generated from our acquisition of Moviso in November 2003.

In 2003, as part of narrowing our focus, we sold or otherwise disposed of services falling outside of our core businesses. The absolute dollar decrease in non-core services revenue from 2003 and 2002 is due to the disposition of these non-core services in 2003.

Related party revenue, warrant revenue, and barter revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are presented below (in thousands):

We have made investments in private and public companies for business and strategic purposes and, in the normal course of business, we entered into separate agreements to provide various promotional and other services for some of these companies. Revenues earned from companies in which we own stock are considered related party revenue. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we did not enter into any significant new agreements with related parties and this, along with the completion of agreements entered into in prior years, contributed to a substantial decline in related party revenues in 2004, 2003 and 2002 compared to those recognized in prior years. We recognize revenue from our agreements with related parties on the same basis as we recognize revenue from similar agreements with unrelated parties.

Included in the related party revenues presented above are approximately $135,000 and $1.7 million of warrant revenue in 2003 and 2002, respectively. There was no related party warrant revenue in 2004.

We hold warrants and stock in public and privately-held companies for business and strategic purposes. Some of these warrants were received in conjunction with equity investments, and are also included in the related party revenue previously described. Additionally, some warrants and stock were received in connection with business agreements whereby we provided our products and services to the issuers in exchange for these equity securities. Some of these agreements contain provisions that required us to meet specific performance criteria in order for the stock or warrants to vest. When we met our performance obligations we recorded revenue equal to the fair value of the stock or warrant. If no future performance is required, we recognized the revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Fair values are determined based on values negotiated by third party investors or independent appraisal. We entered into no new agreements during 2004, 2003 and 2002 whereby we received warrants as compensation, but we continued providing services for such agreements entered into during prior years.

Barter revenues are generated from non-cash transactions as defined by EITF Issue No. 99-17, Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions. Revenue is recognized when we complete all of our obligations under the agreement. For non-cash agreements, we record a receivable or liability at the end of the reporting period for the difference in the fair value of the services provided or received based on the value of comparable cash transactions. Generally, barter transactions consist of the right to place Internet advertisements.

Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2004, barter advertising expense was $0 compared to $400,000 in 2003 and $1.1 million in 2002. We do not anticipate significant related party, warrant or barter revenue or expenses in the future.

Content and Distribution Expenses. Content and distribution expenses consist principally of costs related to revenue sharing arrangements with our distribution partners in connection with our Search & Directory business, royalty and license fees related to our content and media download products for items such as ringtones, graphics and games in connection with our Mobile business, and other content and data licenses. Content and distribution expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are presented below:

Content and distribution expenses increased by $65.1 million to $92.7 million (or 37.1% of revenues) in 2004 as compared to $27.6 million (or 20.9% of revenues) in 2003. The absolute dollar and percent of revenue increase was attributable to revenue growth from our Search & Directory distribution partners in which we have revenue sharing arrangements where we private label our search products for our partners to offer on their own Web properties, and the growth from sales of our content and media download products to our wireless customers which require licensing and royalty payments to third parties.

Content and distribution expenses increased by $12.6 million to $27.6 million (or 20.9% of revenues) in 2003 as compared to $15.0 million (or 13.1% of revenues) in 2002. The absolute dollar and percent of revenue increase was primarily attributable to our revenue growth from our Search & Directory distribution partners in which we have revenue sharing arrangements where we private label our search products for others to offer on their own Web properties and, to a lesser extent, from sales of our content and media download products to our wireless customers.

We anticipate that our content and distribution expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars if revenues from our Search & Directory distribution partners and sales of our content and media download products to our wireless customers continue to increase.

Systems and Network Operations Expenses. Systems and network operations expenses consist of expenses associated with the delivery, maintenance and support of our products, services and infrastructure, including personnel expenses, which include salaries, benefits and other related employee costs, communication costs and equipment repair and maintenance. Systems and network operations expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are presented below:

Systems and network operations expenses increased by $3.2 million to $14.2 million (or 5.7% of revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to $11.0 million (or 8.3% of revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily attributable to an increase of $4.0 million in personnel expenses, including employee salaries and benefits and temporary help and contractors to augment our staffing, which was the result of additional headcount due to the growth in our business and also related to our acquisitions of Moviso and Switchboard. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in communications costs of $1.1 million related to the renegotiation of certain contracts.

Systems and network operations expenses decreased by $5.1 million to $11.0 million (or 8.3% of revenues) in 2003 as compared to $16.1 million (or 14.0% of revenues) in 2002. The absolute dollar and percent of revenue decrease from 2002 to 2003 were primarily attributable to workforce reductions and facility closures in 2003 and the fourth quarter of 2002, resulting in a decrease of personnel expenses of $2.3 million and communication and facility and maintenance costs of $2.1 million.

Product Development Expenses. Product development expenses consist principally of personnel costs, which include salaries, benefits and other employee related costs, for research, development, support and ongoing enhancements of our products and services we deliver to our customers and distribution partners. Product development expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, are presented below:

Product development expenses increased by $5.4 million to $23.1 million (or 9.3% of revenues) in 2004 as compared to $17.8 million (or 13.4% of revenues) in 2003. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to

an increase of $4.7 million in personnel expenses, including employee salaries and benefits and temporary help and contractors to augment our staffing, which increased as we continued to invest in the development and enhancement of our products and services and also as a result of additional headcount related to our acquisitions of Moviso, Switchboard, Atlas Mobile and IOMO.

Product development expenses decreased by $11.4 million to $17.8 million (or 13.4% of revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $29.1 million (or 25.4% of revenues) for the year ended December 31, 2002. The absolute dollar and percent of revenue decreases from 2002 to 2003 were primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel costs of $10.7 million and facility and maintenance costs of $670,000, resulting from reductions of our workforce in 2003 and in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Product development costs may not be consistent with trends in changes in revenue and as a percent of revenues as they represent key costs to develop and enhance our product and service offerings. We believe that investments in technology are necessary to remain competitive, and we anticipate that product development expenses will increase as we continue to invest in our products and services.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist principally of personnel costs, which include salaries, benefits and other employee related costs, advertising, market research and promotion expenses. Sales and marketing expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are presented below:

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $6.0 million to $23.5 million (or 9.4% of revenues) in 2004 as compared to $17.5 million (or 13.2% of revenues) in 2003. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.0 million in personnel expenses, including salaries and benefits and temporary help and contractors to augment our staffing, as we continue to grow our business, and also as a result of our acquisitions of Moviso, Switchboard, Atlas Mobile and IOMO, and an increase of $2.7 million in advertising and promotion expense.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.9 million to $17.5 million (or 13.2% of revenues) in 2003 as compared to $19.4 million (or 16.9% of revenues) in 2002. The absolute dollar decrease was primarily attributable to decrease of $4.0 million in personnel costs as the result of reductions of our workforce in 2003 and in the fourth quarter of 2002. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase of $2.1 million in advertising and promotion expense.

We anticipate sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in marketing initiatives and sales promotions and expand our products and services.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, which include salaries, benefits and other employee related costs, professional service fees, which include legal fees, audit fees, SEC compliance costs and costs related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, occupancy and general office expenses, and general business development and management expenses. General and administrative expenses in total dollars (in thousands) and percent of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are presented below:

General and administrative expenses increased by $4.1 million to $36.3 million (or 14.6% of revenues) in 2004 as compared to $32.2 million (or 24.4% of revenues) in 2003. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily attributable to an increase of $5.5 million in personnel costs and temporary help and contractors, to

augment our staffing, as a result of our acquisitions of Moviso, Switchboard, Atlas Mobile and IOMO, the hiring of our senior management team, which was completed in the latter part of 2003, and increased costs related to our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and a $1.4 million increase in our bad debt expense, as we recorded a net bad debt recovery of $1.0 million in 2003. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in occupancy costs of $1.8 million as a result of restructurings, renegotiations or expiration of certain contracts, and a reduction in our insurance costs of $1.1 million.

The absolute dollar decreases from 2002 to 2003 were primarily attributable to a $6.1 million decrease in outside professional services costs, the majority of which related to lower legal fees, and a $3.3 million reduction in our occupancy costs, which include facility charges, communications cost and general office expense, as a result of our restructurings and the renegotiation or expiration of certain contracts.

We anticipate that professional fees for legal matters will continue to fluctuate depending on the timing and development of on-going legal matters.

Depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment includes depreciation of network servers and data center equipment, computers, software, office equipment and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. Depreciation expenses for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are presented below (in thousands):

The $3.8 million decrease from 2003 to 2004 and the $7.2 million decrease from 2002 to 2003 are primarily attributable to certain of our property and equipment reaching the end of its depreciable life.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets includes amortization of core technology, customer and content relationships, customer lists and other intangible assets. Amortization of other intangible assets is presented below for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

The $3.1 million absolute dollar increase from 2003 to 2004 is attributable to the intangible assets that were acquired in the acquisitions of Moviso and Contactpage.com in 2003 and Switchboard, Atlas Mobile and IOMO in 2004. The increase in amortization expense related to these acquisitions was partially offset by a reduction of intangible assets that were either impaired or fully amortized during 2004 and 2003.

The $6.0 million absolute dollar decrease from 2002 to 2003 is attributable to lower amortizable balances of other intangible assets due to impairment changes recorded in 2003 and 2002 (see “Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” below). As the balance of other intangible assets decreased, the corresponding amortization expense also decreased.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets is presented below for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

We evaluated our goodwill for impairment during 2004, 2003 and 2002, as required under SFAS No. 142. Our annual evaluation conducted in 2004 and 2003 concluded that the carrying value of goodwill associated with each of our business units had not been impaired. During 2002, we determined that the carrying value of the goodwill associated with our Mobile business unit had been fully impaired and, accordingly, we recorded a charge for the impairment of goodwill of $56.1 million. The annual evaluations conducted in 2004, 2003 and

2002 were based on a valuation of our reporting units using a combination of our quoted stock price and projections of future discounted cash flows for each reporting unit.

During 2003, we determined that we would not pursue products related to a certain core technology we acquired in a business acquisition and recorded an impairment charge for the remaining carrying value.

During 2002, we determined that we would not pursue the development of certain technologies acquired in certain business acquisitions and also sold assets of a previously acquired business. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $14.9 million for the remaining carrying value of such core technologies. Additionally, we made the decision in 2002 to migrate certain customers from a platform acquired in a business acquisition to an existing platform. This migration was completed in 2002 and we recorded an impairment charge of $1.5 million for the unamortized balance of this acquired core technology. Furthermore, we determined that the actual and forecasted revenue from customer lists acquired in certain business acquisitions were substantially less than forecasted at the time of acquisition as many of these contracts were subsequently cancelled by us post-acquisition. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.9 million to write down the value of the acquired customer lists to zero.

Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges reflect actual and estimated costs associated with the reductions in workforce and costs associated with the consolidation and closures of certain of our facilities. Restructuring charges for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, are presented below (in thousands):

The restructuring charge in 2004 is attributable to an adjustment of our estimated reserves for the restructuring in 2003, discussed below, primarily related to the payment of lease termination costs in lieu of subleasing our excess facilities.

In 2003, we narrowed our strategic focus, which included the restructuring of our business units and the identification of certain non-core services to divest, and implemented operational restructuring plans to reduce operating costs, which included workforce reductions and consolidation of corporate facilities. In 2003, we recorded a charge of $11.7 million comprised of employee severance and other separation charges, a charge for excess facilities, the write down of leasehold improvements and equipment related to the excess facilities and a charge for terminating a lease. The estimated future excess facilities cost was based on reducing the present value of future committed lease payments. Additionally, as part of our decision to close our operations in Australia, we recorded a charge of $148,000 relating to the realized loss on foreign currency fluctuations. This amount was previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheet.

In 2002, as part of our decision to sell certain assets of a previous business acquisition, we incurred a loss on the sale of these assets of $991,000, which is included in other asset disposal costs. Also, during 2002, we closed our operations in Brazil, resulting in a charge of $537,000 relating to the realized loss on foreign currency fluctuations. This amount was previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, we reduced our workforce in 2002 and incurred employee severance and related charges. The charges above were partially offset by a reduction of $156,000 to the estimated lease expenses related to our former Seattle and Mountain View facilities.

Other, Net. Other, net consists of costs, charges, refunds or gains that are not directly associated with other revenue or operating expense classifications. Other, net for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is presented below (in thousands):

During 2004, we recorded other charges, net for a gain of $3.2 million. We settled a litigation matter concerning promissory notes due from a former officer, resulting in a gain of $3.9 million. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we received $3.3 million in cash and 18,438 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $622,000 from the former officer in full settlement of promissory notes previously recorded for $10.0 million and interest earned of $1.6 million on the promissory notes. We previously recorded a valuation allowance related to the promissory notes and related interest for $11.6 million. Additionally, we recorded a charge of $1.2 million related to the separation of a former executive officer, and we received a final assessment from the IRS for a payroll tax settlement regarding certain aspects of our payroll tax returns for the year 2000, in which we had previously recorded a $4.0 million charge in 2003 that included penalties and estimated interest, and, accordingly, paid the IRS. The interest charges were less than originally estimated and, as a result, we reversed previously recognized interest charges of approximately $246,000 upon our payment of the final assessment.

During 2003, we recorded other charges, net of $1.5 million, primarily comprised of a $7.5 million charge for litigation and other settlement related to our Mobile business and a charge, which included interest and penalties, related to a settlement agreement with the IRS regarding the audit of our payroll tax returns for the year 2000 in the amount of $4.0 million. Partially offsetting these charges were research and development tax refunds or credits from local and foreign tax jurisdictions and gains on the sale or disposition of our non-core services, all of which have been divested as of December 31, 2003.

During 2002, we recorded other charges, net of $4.2 million to increase the valuation allowance for certain notes receivable due from a former officer of InfoSpace, as previously discussed, and for a litigation settlement. The promissory notes were due on December 16, 2001 and were in default. A valuation allowance of $8.5 million was recorded in 2001, which represented the outstanding notes and interest due less the value of the secured shares and other known assets of the former officer. We sued the former officer in January 2002; however, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we increased our valuation allowance by $3.1 million in 2002 to fully reserve the notes and interest receivables.

Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net. Gain (loss) on investments, net, consists of recognized gains and losses on investments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, realized gains and losses on investments, and impairment of investments. Loss on investments, net is comprised of the following for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

Other-than-temporary investment impairment: We have equity investments in public and privately held companies and periodically evaluate whether the decline in fair value of an investment is other-than-temporary. During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we concluded that there had been an other-than-temporary impairment of certain equity investments and we recorded an impairment charge related to those specific investments.

Gains and losses on sale of investments: During 2004, 2003 and 2002, we sold our equity investments in public and privately-held companies as opportunities arose.

Gains and losses in accordance with SFAS No. 133: Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 133 which requires us to adjust our derivative instruments to fair value and recognize the change in the recorded fair value in earnings. We hold warrants to purchase stock in other companies, which qualify as derivatives, and therefore gains or losses are based on the fair value.

As of December 31, 2004, we have sold or otherwise disposed of substantially all of our investments in publicly and privately held companies.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net, primarily consists of interest income, except for 2004 in which a gain of $456,000 from a foreign currency contract was recorded and 2003 in which a gain of $4.1 million from a litigation settlement was recorded. Other income, net was $5.0 million in 2004 compared to $8.2 million in 2003 and $6.9 million in 2002. Excluding the 2004 gain from the foreign currency contract and the 2003 gain from a legal settlement, other income primarily consisted of interest income of $4.7 million, $4.1 million, and $7.6 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in interest income in 2004 was attributable to more available cash and marketable investments on hand to invest, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in interest rates. The decrease in interest income from 2002 to 2003 is mainly from lower interest rates received on our marketable investments. During 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire elkware, a mobile gaming company, at a cost of 20 million Euro. Due to the continuing decline in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar to the Euro, we entered into the foreign exchange contract on December 22, 2004 to mitigate further foreign currency exposure. As of December 31, 2004, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar had further declined relative to the Euro and we recorded a gain of $456,000 on the forward exchange contract. Subsequently, in early 2005 when the acquisition of elkware was completed, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Euro, and we will record a loss of $934,000 in 2005 as a result of the settlement of that exchange contract.

Income Tax Expense. We have recorded an income tax benefit of $29,000 in 2004, $607,000 in 2003, and an expense of $430,000 in 2002. Income tax expense is primarily for our international operations, except in 2003, which includes a tax benefit related to the allocation of income tax expense to our discontinued operations of $1.5 million, partially offset by a tax expense for Federal alternative minimum tax. We expect to continue to record a tax provision for our international operations and Federal alternative minimum taxes in the future.

At December 31, 2004, we have a deferred tax asset of approximately $477.5 million, primarily comprised of our accumulated net operating loss carryforwards. We have provided a full valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets as we believe that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets. Once we have reached profitability for an extended period and believe that realization is more likely than not, we will reduce a portion or all of the valuation allowance in the period that such a determination is made and record a significant tax benefit. For the periods following the recognition of this tax benefit and to the extent we are profitable, we will record a tax provision for which the actual payment may be offset against our accumulated net operating loss carryforwards.

Income from Discontinued Operations and Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operation. On March 31, 2004, we consummated the sale of our Payment Solutions business and have reflected income from Payment Solutions as income from discontinued operations. For 2004, we recorded a gain on the sale of Payment Solutions of $29.1 million, which was comprised of proceeds from the sale of $82.0 million less the net book value of assets sold of $49.3 million (including goodwill of $48.9 million), and transaction related costs of $3.6 million, which consist of investment banking fees, legal fees and employee related costs.

We have presented the operating results of Payment Solutions as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. We recorded income, net of taxes, from the operating results of Payment Solutions of $2.3 million and $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and a loss of $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Income from discontinued operations includes previously unallocated depreciation, amortization, corporate expenses, and income taxes that were attributed to Payment Solutions.

Cumulative Effect of Changes in Accounting Principle. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we evaluated the classification of our intangible assets using the criteria of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, which broadened the criteria for recording intangible assets apart from goodwill, which resulted in $1.0 million of intangible assets (comprised entirely of assembled workforce intangibles) being classified as goodwill on January 1, 2002.

SFAS No. 142 requires that purchased goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles no longer be amortized into results of operations, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. We evaluated our other intangible assets, including core technology, customer lists, and other intangible assets, and determined that these assets have definite lives. These are classified on our consolidated balance sheets as Other intangible assets, net.

We recorded a charge for the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $206.6 million as of January 1, 2002, which was related to impairment of goodwill. This amount was determined based on a valuation of our reporting units as of January 1, 2002 using a combination of our quoted stock price and projections of future discounted cash flows for each reporting unit.

Payroll Taxes. As of December 31, 2004, we had $13.2 million recorded as a tax receivable. In October 2000, Anuradha Jain, a former officer of InfoSpace and the spouse of Naveen Jain, our former chairman and chief executive officer, exercised non-qualified stock options. We withheld and remitted to the IRS $12.6 million for federal income taxes based on the market price of the stock on the day of exercise and we also remitted the employer payroll tax of $620,000. Due primarily to the affiliate lock-up period resulting from our merger with Go2Net, Inc. (“Go2Net”), the former officer was restricted from transferring or selling the stock until February 2001, and we believe that such restriction delayed the taxation of income until the restriction lapsed. We, therefore, returned the federal income tax withholding to the former officer and filed an amendment to our payroll tax return to request the tax refund. Our payroll tax returns for the year 2000 have been audited by the IRS and we have received an examination report from the IRS disallowing the claim for the refund of $13.2 million. We are appealing that determination by the IRS and may seek recovery from the former officer. We believe that we have meritorious arguments to recover this refund and that it is probable that we will recover this receivable. However, there can be no assurance regarding the timing, structure or extent of our recovery of this tax receivable.

Our principal source of liquidity is our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments, initially generated from proceeds from stock sales of approximately $614 million, which include private placements of our common stock and Go2Net’s private placement of preferred stock, our initial public offering in December 1998, our follow-on public offering in April 1999 and Go2Net’s initial public offering in April 1997. In addition, more recently we have generated cash from operations and proceeds from the exercising of options to purchase shares of our common stock and proceeds of $82.0 million from the sale of our Payment Solutions business unit.

As of December 31, 2004, we had cash and marketable investments of approximately $321.8 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $85.2 million, short-term investments available-for-sale of $198.4

million, and long-term investments available-for-sale of $38.2 million. We invest our excess cash in high quality marketable investments. These investments include securities issued by U.S. government agencies, certificates of deposit, money market funds, and taxable municipal bonds.

The following are our contractual commitments associated with our operating lease obligations (in thousands):

We have pledged a portion of our cash and cash equivalents as collateral for standby letters of credit and bank guaranties for certain of our property leases and banking arrangements. At December 31, 2004, the total amount of collateral pledged under these agreements was approximately $4.6 million. The change in the total amount of collateral pledged under these agreements was as follows (in thousands):

Net cash provided (used) by operating activities consists of net income (loss) offset by certain adjustments not affecting current-period cash flows and the effect of changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Adjustments to net income (loss) to determine cash flow from operations include depreciation and amortization, impairment of intangible assets, gains or losses on equity investments, warrant and stock-based related revenues and expenses, gains and losses from the disposition of non-core services and other assets, certain restructuring charges, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. Net cash (used) provided by investing activities consists of net cash used to acquire businesses, transactions related to our investments, purchases of property and equipment and proceeds from the sale of certain assets. Net cash provided (used) by financing activities consists of proceeds from the issuance of stock through the exercise of stock options or warrants and our employee stock purchase plan.

Our net cash flows are comprised of the following for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

Net cash provided by operating activities was $52.5 million in 2004, consisting of our net income of $82.4 million, cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $17.7 million, consisting of an

increase in our deferred revenues and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and adjustments not affecting cash flows provided by operating activities of $18.4 million, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, bad debt expense, and non-cash restructuring charges. Partially offsetting the increase are cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $33.6 million, primarily consisting of increases in our accounts receivable, notes and other receivables and a decrease in our accounts payable, and adjustments not affecting cash flows provided by operating activities of $32.4 million, primarily consisting of income and the gain on sale of our Payment Solutions business of $31.4 million, accounted for as a discontinued operation, and gains from our equity investments.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $46.4 million in 2003, consisting of our net loss of $6.3 million, cash provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $34.2 million, primarily consisting of increases in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, changes in net assets of discontinued operations, increases in notes and other receivables, and an increase in our accounts receivable, and adjustments not affecting cash flows provided by operating activities of $33.8 million, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization, losses on equity investments, and restructuring and impairment charges. Partially offsetting the increase are cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $5.0 million, primarily consisting of increases in our prepaid expenses and other assets, and a decrease in our deferred revenue, and adjustments not affecting cash flows provided by operating activities of $10.3 million, primarily consisting of gains from the sale of our non-core services, bad debt recoveries and income from our discontinued operation.

Net cash used by operating activities was $17.4 million in 2002, consisting of our net loss of $345.3 million, cash used by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $26.2 million, primarily consisting increases in accounts receivables and decreases of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, deferred revenue and changes in net assets of discontinued operations, and adjustments not affecting cash flows used by operating activities of $3.9 million primarily consisting of stock related revenues and bad debt recoveries. Partially offsetting the decrease are changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $7.7 million, primarily consisting of decreases in notes and other receivable, prepaid assets and other current and long term assets, and adjustments not affecting cash flows of $350.1 million, primarily associated with the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 142 of $206.6 million, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, losses on our equity investments.

Net cash used by investing activities was $110.9 million in 2004, primarily from the purchase of $446.4 million of marketable investments, the use of $130.6 million for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $10.4 million of property and equipment purchases. Partially offsetting cash used in investing activities were proceeds from the sale or maturity of our marketable investments of $499.2 million, proceeds of $82.0 million from the sale of our Payment Solutions business, and proceeds of $1.0 million from the sale of equity investments and our non-core services.

Net cash used by investing activities was $25.9 million in 2003, primarily from the proceeds of $263.5 million from the sale or maturity of our marketable investments and proceeds of $18.1 million from the sale of equity investments and non-core services and assets. Partially offsetting cash provided by investing activities were the purchase of $276.2 million of marketable investments, the use of $29.1 million for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and purchases of property and equipment of $2.2 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $31.1 million in 2002, primarily from the proceeds of $228.9 million from the sale or maturity of our marketable investments and proceeds of $2.0 million from a note receivable. Partially offsetting cash provided by investing activities were the purchase of $192.1 million of marketable investments, purchase of property and equipment of $5.2 million, and the use of $2.4 million for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired.

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $32.7 million, $3.6 million, and $935,000, respectively. Cash proceeds from financing activities resulted from the exercise of stock options and from the sales of shares through our employee stock purchase plan.

We plan to use our cash to fund operations, develop technology, advertise, market and distribute our products and application services, and continue the enhancement of infrastructure including the build-out of a redundant data center. We may use our cash for acquisitions, an example being our 2004 acquisition of Switchboard and the acquisition of three mobile gaming companies in 2004 and early 2005.

We believe that existing cash balances, cash equivalents, short term investments and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. However, the underlying assumed levels of revenues and expenses may not prove to be accurate. Our anticipated cash needs exclude any payments for pending or future litigation matters. In addition, we evaluate acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies that complement our business from time to time. Any such transactions, if consummated, may use a significant portion of our cash balances and marketable investments. We may seek additional funding through public or private financings or other arrangements prior to such time. Adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders will result. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.

On December 15, 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of elkware, a German mobile games company. The agreed purchase price is denominated in Euros in the amount of 20.0 million Euros. Due to significant changes in the exchange rate and the continued decrease of the U.S. dollar to the Euro, on December 22, 2004 we entered into a forward exchange contract, to minimize any further exposure of the U.S. dollar weakening relative to the Euro, which locked the exchange rate at 1.3416 for each dollar per Euro. The acquisition of elkware was completed on January 7, 2005.

IOMO Limited. On December 1, 2004 we acquired all of the outstanding stock of IOMO Limited, a designer and publisher of mobile games, for approximately $15.4 million, excluding acquisition costs and liabilities assumed. In addition, the purchase agreement required that approximately $2.1 million of the purchase price be placed in escrow to provide security for certain indemnification obligations set forth in the purchase agreement.

Atlas Mobile, Inc. In July 2004, we acquired the assets of Atlas Mobile, a provider of mobile multi-player tournament games, for $6.3 million.

Switchboard Incorporated. In June 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Switchboard Incorporated, a provider of local on-line advertising and Internet based yellow pages, for $7.75 per share in cash

totaling approximately $159.4 million, which excludes transaction fees of approximately $6.2 million and liabilities assumed. As of the acquisition date, Switchboard had approximately $56.4 million in cash.

Moviso LLC. In November 2003, we acquired all of the membership interests of Moviso LLC, a North American mobile media content provider, from Vivendi Universal Net USA Group, Inc. for $25.0 million in cash, excluding acquisition costs and liabilities assumed.

Saraide, Inc. In March 2000, we acquired 80% of the common stock of Saraide, Inc., a component of the Mobile segment. In 2003, we acquired the remaining 20% interest in Saraide, Inc. at an aggregate cost of approximately $8.6 million, which includes the cost of a settlement with certain shareholders of Saraide, Inc. of approximately $7.5 million.

Contactpage.com, Inc. In October 2003, we acquired substantially all of the technology and intellectual property of Contactpage.com, Inc. for $2.6 million in cash.

eCash Technologies, Inc. In February 2002, we acquired substantially all of the technology and intellectual property of eCash Technologies, Inc., a developer of electronic debit and stored value technologies, for purchase consideration of $2.7 million and 106,482 shares of our common stock.

elkware GmbH On December 15, 2004, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of elkware GmbH, a German mobile games company, for 20.0 million Euro, which approximated $26.4 million in cash. The transaction was consummated on January 7, 2005. In addition, the purchase agreement required that 5.0 million Euros of the purchase price be placed in escrow to provide security for certain indemnification obligations set forth in the purchase agreement.

The following table presents a summary of our unaudited consolidated results of operations for the eight quarters ended December 31, 2004. The information for each of these quarters has been prepared on a basis consistent with our audited consolidated financial statements. You should read this information in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

We account for stock-based compensation awards using the intrinsic value measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Accordingly, we record no compensation expense for stock options granted with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 to stock compensation awards. Rather, SFAS No. 123(R) requires enterprises to measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. That cost will be recognized over the period during which a person is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

We have not yet quantified the effects of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), but we expect that the new standard will result in significant stock-based compensation expense. The pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of original SFAS No. 123 on stock compensation awards (rather than applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25) are disclosed in Item 8 of Part II “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1: Stock-based compensation.” Although such pro forma effects of applying the original SFAS No. 123 may be indicative of the effects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the provisions of these two statements differ in important respects. The actual effects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) will be dependent on numerous factors including, but not limited to, the valuation model chosen by us to value stock-based awards; the assumed award forfeiture rate; the accounting policies adopted concerning the method of recognizing the fair value of awards over the requisite service period; and the transition method (as described below) chosen for adopting SFAS No. 123(R).

SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for our fiscal quarter beginning July 1, 2005, and requires the use of the Modified Prospective Application Method. Under this method SFAS No. 123(R) is applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (such as unvested options) that are outstanding as of the date of adoption shall be recognized as the remaining requisite services are rendered. The compensation cost relating to unvested awards at the date of adoption shall be based on the fair value at the date of grant of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures under the original SFAS No. 123. In addition, we may use the Modified Retrospective Application Method. This method may be applied to all prior years for which the original SFAS No. 123 was effective or only to prior interim periods in the year of initial adoption. If the Modified Retrospective Application Method is applied, financial statements for prior periods shall be adjusted to give effect to the fair-value-based method of accounting for awards on a consistent basis with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods under the original SFAS No. 123.

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and equity price fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk. We invest our available cash in investment-grade debt instruments of corporate issuers and in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies. By policy, we limit our credit exposure to any one issuer. We do not have any derivative instruments in our investment portfolio. We protect and preserve invested funds by limiting default, market and reinvestment risk. Investments in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed-rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2004, our short-term and long-term investment balances were $236.6 million.

The following table provides information about our cash equivalent and marketable fixed-income securities, including principal cash flows for 2004 and the related weighted average interest rates. Amounts are presented in U.S. dollar equivalents, which is our reporting currency.

Principal amounts by expected year of maturity in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2004 are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Foreign Currency Risk: Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in the exchange rates of the principal currency of countries that we operate in (Canada and countries in Europe) versus the U.S. dollar. We are exposed to these exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of our non-U.S. based subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. As exchange rates vary, those results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely impact our results. The cumulative translation effects for subsidiaries using functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Other than the forward currency exchange contract that we entered into in connection with the purchase of elkware GmbH, a mobile gaming company based in Germany, we do not currently use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates as this exposure has had a minimal impact on our past financial results.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of InfoSpace, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InfoSpace, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 2, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that InfoSpace, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 of the Company and our report dated March 2, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph regarding the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, on January 1, 2002, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

Description of the business: InfoSpace, Inc. (the “Company” or “InfoSpace”) is a diversified technology and services company comprised of two reporting units, the Search & Directory and Mobile businesses. The Company develops and markets innovative technology solutions and applications for a broad range of customers ranging from consumers to wireless operators and content providers.

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of presentation: On March 31, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its Payment Solutions business to Lightbridge, Inc. (“Lightbridge”), for $82.0 million in cash. The operating results of the Payment Solutions business have been presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all years presented.

Business combinations: Business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting include the results of operations of the acquired business from the date of acquisition. Net assets of the company acquired are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Amounts allocated to in-process research and development are expensed in the period of acquisition. The valuation of the shares issued is based on a seven-day stock price average using the measurement date and three days prior to and after this date. If the company issued a public announcement of the acquisition, the measurement date is the date of such announcement. If the purchase consideration is based on a formula, the measurement date is based on the requirements in EITF Issue No. 99-12, Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination. If no public announcement was made and a formula is not used in determining the purchase consideration, then the measurement date is the date of purchase.

Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value. The Company has pledged a portion of its cash and cash equivalents as collateral for certain of its facility leases. On December 31, 2004, the total amount of collateral pledged under these agreements was approximately $4.6 million, which consists of $4.1 million of standby letters of credit and $512,000 of bank guaranty.

Short-term and long-term investments: The Company principally invests its available cash in investment-grade debt instruments of corporate issuers and in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies. Action Rate Securities and all debt instruments with original maturities greater than three months up to one year from the balance sheet date are considered short-term investments. Other investments maturing after one year from the balance sheet date are considered long-term. The Company accounts for investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s short-term and long-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at their fair market value, with changes in fair value reported in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

The Company has capitalized certain internal use software development costs in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. Costs capitalized primarily consist of employee salaries and benefits allocated on a project or product basis. The Company capitalized approximately $1.6 million, $1.0 million, and $1.8 million of internal-use software costs during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets: As discussed below, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, on January 1, 2002 and performed an impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of that date. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, management also evaluates goodwill and other intangible assets at least annually to determine whether there has been any impairment of the value of these assets and evaluates impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the Company’s assets might not be recoverable. The Company also adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, on January 1, 2002, and has recorded impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, as further discussed in Note 6.

Other investments: The Company has invested in equity investments of public and privately-held companies for business and strategic purposes. These investments are included in long-term assets. Investments in companies whose securities are not publicly traded are recorded at cost. Investments in companies whose securities are publicly traded are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the Company’s stockholders’ equity section of its consolidated balance sheet. Warrants held by the Company to purchase equity securities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value with changes in fair value recorded as gains or losses on investments in the Statement of Operations. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not make equity investments in public or privately-held companies. Realized gains or losses are recorded based on the identified specific cost of the investment sold. The Company does not exercise significant influence over the operating or financial policies of any of the companies in which it has invested, and therefore accounts for such investments under the cost method. The Company’s accounting treatment of its other investments is more fully described in Note 5.

Stock-based compensation: In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, unearned compensation includes the unamortized intrinsic value of vested and unvested options assumed in acquisitions since July 1, 2000. In addition, unearned compensation includes the unamortized compensation expense from the Company’s restricted stock grant in December 2001 (see Note 7). The intrinsic value method of accounting results in stock compensation expense to the extent option exercise prices are set below market prices on the date of grant. For options assumed in acquisitions, the Company measures the value based on the number of options granted and the difference between the converted exercise price of the options and the fair value of the options granted based on the quoted price of the Company’s common stock at the date the options are assumed.

Restricted stock is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock. Such value for assumed options and restricted stock is recognized as an expense and amortized using the accelerated amortization method prescribed in FIN 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2002, the Company recognized $1.6 million and $6.1 million in compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock grants. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recognized a $320,000 reversal of previously recorded stock compensation expense based on cancellations during the year for which expense had been recorded in the prior years pursuant to the accelerated method under FIN 28.

The Company’s stock-based compensation plans are more fully described in Note 7. The Company accounts for those plans under the intrinsic value method, which follows the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, the Company does not record any expense when stock options are granted that have exercise prices equal to fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.

To estimate compensation expense which would be recognized under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted: risk-free interest rate of 2.99% to 3.72% for the 2004 grants, 2.46% to 3.24% for the 2003 grants and 1.89% to 3.47% for the 2002 grants, expected dividend yield of 0% for all periods; volatility of and 64% to 67% for 2004 grants, 66% to 105% for 2003 grants 111% to 123% for 2002 grants; and an expected life of five years.

Had compensation expense for the plans been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 would have been as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

Deferred expense-warrants: Deferred expense-warrants represented the fair value of the warrants that were issued to America Online, Inc. (AOL) (Note 7) and was expensed ratably over the four-year vesting period, which ended during 2003. The amortization of deferred warrant expense has been charged to content and distribution expenses.

Search & Directory revenue: The Company generates revenues from its on-line search, yellow page and white page services. Revenues are generated when an end-user of its services generates a paid search at the Company’s owned and operated Web site or through a distribution partner’s Web property, in which the

Company offers its private label search and directory products and services for others to offer on their own Web properties. Revenues are recognized in the period in which a paid search occurs and are based on the amounts earned and remitted to the Company.

Certain of the Company’s agreements contain maximum thresholds for paid searches for which a customer will pay during a specific period of time. In such circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue at the lesser of the amount that would be recorded based on the amount due per paid search, or the amount that would be recognized if the maximum amount due from the customer over the specified time provided in the agreement were recognized ratably over that period.

For distribution partner arrangements, whereby the Company shares a portion of the revenues earned through a distribution partner’s Web property, revenue is recorded on a gross basis in accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The Company recognizes the cost of revenue share payments to the distribution partners as a content and distribution expense. Typically, revenue share expenses are based on a contracted rate per paid search or as a percent of gross revenue earned by the Company.

The Company has recognized revenues generated from non-cash transactions (barter). Barter revenue is recognized when the Company completes its obligations under the agreement. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-17 Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions, which generally relate to the exchange of advertising for the Company, it records a receivable or liability at the end of the reporting period for the difference in the fair value of the services provided or received. The Company recognized $0, $0 and $243,000 in barter revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Company has recognized revenue associated with providing products or services in exchange for warrants and, in some cases, warrants in companies in which the Company has made an equity investment. Warrant revenue is recognized once the product or service is delivered or in certain agreements, when the Company has met its specific performance criteria. When the products or services are delivered or when the Company has met its performance obligations, revenue is recognized equal to the fair value of the warrant at the vesting date. In certain circumstances in which the future performance is not specified and the warrant is fully vested, the Company measures the fair value of the warrant and recognizes the revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term. The Company measures the fair value of the warrants using the issuers stock price and other measurement assumptions including a review of current financial information and recent rounds of financing, on the earlier of (i) the date the terms of the warrant compensation arrangement and a commitment for performance is reached or (ii) the date at which the Company’s performance to earn the warrants is complete. The Company recognized $0, $135,000 and $2.4 million in warrant revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Mobile revenue: The Company earns revenue, typically from its agreements with mobile operators, from its content delivery services, which includes both subscriber usage or product downloads, hosting and maintenance services and professional services.

The Company’s revenue from product downloads is generated when an end user purchases a wireless application, such as ringtones, graphics, or games, via their cellular phone. The agreements with the mobile operators provide that the mobile operators are responsible for billing and collecting from the end users, and remitting fees to the Company for the purchase of the product download that the Company licenses or as a service fee for delivering a product download that the mobile operator licenses. In accordance with EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, the Company recognizes revenue, and a

corresponding expense, for transactions in which the Company acts as a principal and directly licenses content from the license holder(s). The Company records revenue on a net basis for transactions in which the Company acts as an agent and delivers content that the mobile operator licenses directly from the license holder(s).

Subscriber usage fee revenue is generated based on the end users usage of the Company’s messaging or browsing services.

The Company enters into licensing and royalty agreements to secure the content for its messaging services and product downloads. The Company records licensing and royalty expense as a content and distribution cost in the period in which the content or product is delivered. Certain agreements are based on a flat fee for a contracted period of time and these content expenses are recorded ratably over the contract period.

The Company generates revenue from professional services, which are recognized as revenue in the period in which the work is completed and accepted by the customer. Professional services are typically contracted at hourly rates, which are consistently applied, although differ by geographic region.

The Company generates revenue for Internet hosting services and maintenance of such services. Revenue is recognized in the period in which the service is provided. The Company has entered into certain contracts that include set-up or integration fees and/or development fees, which are invoiced at the commencement of the agreement. Although these fees are sometimes paid to the Company at the commencement of the agreement, they are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Non-core services revenue: For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company earned and recognized revenue from certain non-core services. During 2003, all of these non-core services were sold or otherwise disposed. Revenues were recognized in the period in which the products or services were delivered. In some cases, the fees were paid to the Company at the commencement of the agreement with the customer and the related revenue was recognized ratably over the contracted period or estimated life of the arrangement.

Content and distribution expenses: Content and distribution expenses consist of costs related to revenue sharing arrangements in which the Company provides private-labeled search and directory services for Web properties of its distribution partners and licensing and royalty fee arrangements in connection with the sale of mobile product downloads or services.

System and network operation expenses: System and network operation expenses are costs associated with the delivery, maintenance and support of the Company’s products, services, and infrastructure, an principally consists of personnel costs, communication costs, such as high-speed Internet access and hosting, and equipment maintenance and repair.

Product development expenses: Product development expenses consist principally of personnel costs for research, development, support and on-going enhancements of the Company’s products and services.

Sales and marketing expenses: Sales and marketing expenses consist principally of personnel costs, and advertising, market research and promotion expenses.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses consist principally of personnel costs, professional service fees, which include legal, audit, and SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance fees, occupancy and general office expenses, and general business development and management expenses.

Advertising costs: Costs for advertising are recorded as expense when the advertisement appears or electronic impressions are recorded. Cash advertising expense totaled approximately $5.4 million, $2.9 million

and $179,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded approximately $0, $400,000 and $1.1 million in non-cash advertising expense relating to barter arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Restructuring charges: Restructuring charges reflect actual and estimated costs associated with the reductions in workforce and costs associated with the closures of certain Company facilities (Note 11).

Other, net: Other, net consists of costs and/or charges that are not directly associated with other revenues or operating expense classifications. Other charges, net during the year ended December 31, 2004, of $3.2 million, primarily consists of the settlement of a litigation matter concerning promissory notes due from a former officer of the Company, resulting in a gain of $3.9 million, partially offset by a charge of $1.2 million related to the separation of a former executive officer. Other charges, net during the year ended December 31, 2003 of $1.5 million, primarily consists of a litigation settlement charge of approximately $7.5 million and a tax settlement charge of approximately $4.0 million, which included interest and penalties, related to a partial settlement agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the audit of the Company’s payroll tax returns for the year 2000. Partially offsetting these charges were research and development tax refunds or credits from local and foreign tax jurisdictions of approximately $3.2 million and gains on the sale or disposition of the Company’s non-core services of approximately $6.4 million. Other charges, net during the year ended December 31, 2002 of $4.2 million consists of an allowance for notes receivable and employee loans of approximately $3.4 million and $756,000 for the settlement of two litigation matters.

Gain (loss) on investments: Gain (loss) on investments consists of changes in fair values of warrants held by the Company, realized gains and losses from the sale of investments and impairment of investments.

Income from discontinued operations and gain on sale of discontinued operations: On March 31, 2004, the Company consummated the sale of its Payment Solutions business and has reflected the results of operations from its Payment Solutions business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Company recorded revenues from the operations of Payment Solutions of $8.4 million, $27.8 million and $21.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded income from the operating results of Payment Solutions of $2.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, net of income taxes of $20,000 and $1.5 million, respectively and a loss of $3.5 million, with no income taxes attributable to results, for the year ended December 31, 2002. Income from discontinued operations includes previously unallocated depreciation, amortization, corporate expenses, and income taxes that were attributed to Payment Solutions. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of Payment Solutions of $29.1 million, which was comprised of proceeds from the sale of $82.0 million less the net book value of assets sold of $49.3 million (including goodwill of $48.9 million), and transaction related costs of $3.6 million, which consist of investment banking fees, legal fees and employee related costs.

Cumulative effect of change in accounting principles: Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets apart from goodwill.

SFAS No. 142 requires that purchased goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles no longer be amortized into results of operations, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company evaluated its other intangible assets, including core technology, customer lists, and other intangible assets, and determined that these assets have definite lives. These are classified on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as Other intangible assets.

The Company recorded a non-cash charge for the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $206.6 million as of January 1, 2002, as impairment of goodwill. This amount was determined based on a valuation of the Company’s reporting units as of January 1, 2002 using a combination of the Company’s quoted stock price and projections of future discounted cash flows for each reporting unit. SFAS No. 142 prescribes an impairment testing of goodwill to be performed at least annually. The Company completed this annual evaluation of each of its reporting units as of November 30, 2004, November 30, 2003 and November 30, 2002, using a combination of the Company’s quoted stock price and projections of future discounted cash flows for each reporting unit and recorded a non-cash charge of $0, $0 and $56.1 million, respectively, based upon a valuation.

As part of the Company’s reorganization and changes to its reporting units on April 1, 2003, the Company allocated the Merchant goodwill to the new reporting units effective April 1, 2003 (Note 12). The allocation was determined based on a valuation of the Company’s reporting units as of April 1, 2003 using a combination of the revenues, direct contribution to profit and cash flows of each business unit, and the Company’s quoted stock price.

The following table provides information about activity in goodwill by reporting unit for the period from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

Amortization of other intangible assets are over the estimated life, ranging from one to five years and is expected to be approximately $11.7 million, $9.6 million, $5.5 million, $2.7 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 respectively.

Net income (loss) per share: Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion of the exercise of stock options and warrants, and upon employees’ vesting in restricted stock grants, using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share if their effect is antidilutive.

The treasury stock method calculates the dilutive effect only for those stock options and warrants whose exercise price is less than the average stock price during the period presented. Using the treasury stock method, stock options and warrants to purchase 4,432,258, 0 and 0 shares of common stock were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Options, restricted stock and warrants to purchase a total of 1,818,887, 9,174,339 and 7,227,434 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as they were antidilutive.

Foreign currencies: Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in other income, net.

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and trade receivables. These instruments are generally unsecured and uninsured. The Company places its cash equivalents and investments with major financial institutions. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from customers primarily located in the United States operating in a variety of industries and geographic areas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses.

Revenue concentration: The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from a small number of customers. Revenues from the top ten customers of the Company represents 89%, 82% and 66% of total revenues in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The number of customers that accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were four, three, and two, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2004, two customers of the Search & Directory business unit accounted for approximately 26% and 19% of total Company revenues, one customer of the Mobile business unit accounted approximately 18% of total Company revenues and one customer of both the Search & Directory and Mobile business units accounted for approximately 12% of total Company revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2003 three customers of the Search & Directory business unit accounted for approximately 28%, 17% and 16% of total Company revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2002 two customers of the Search & Directory business unit accounted for approximately 22% each of total revenues. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, two and four customers, respectively, accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.

Fair value of financial instruments: Financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, trade and notes receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, deferred revenues and warrants in other entities. The carrying amount of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets approximates the fair value of such instruments.

Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company believes sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that a full valuation allowance is required.

Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to the balances in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2004 presentation. The reclassifications did not impact previously reported revenues, total operating expense, operating income (loss), net income (loss), total assets, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity.

In February 2005, the Company determined that investments in Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”) should not be considered cash equivalents in prior periods. ARS generally have long-term stated maturities; however, these investments have characteristics similar to short-term investments because at pre-determined intervals, generally between 7 to 90 days of the purchase, there is a new auction process. As of December 31, 2004, the Company held $115.5 million of investments in ARS that are classified as Short-term investments, available for sale. The Company reclassified $113.0 million and $34.4 million of investments in ARS as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, that were previously included in Cash and cash equivalents to Short-term investments, available for sale. The Company has included purchases and sales of ARS in its Consolidated Statement of Cash flows as a component of its investing activities.

Additionally, in 2004, the Company revised the presentation of its Consolidated Statements of Operations to eliminate the caption Cost of Revenues and separately present Content and Distribution, Systems and Network Operations, and Depreciation expense. Content and Distribution expenses were previously included in Cost of Revenues and Sales and Marketing. Systems and Network Operations were previously included in Cost of Revenues.

Other reclassifications have been made to the 2003 and 2002 balances to conform to the 2004 presentation.

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from estimates.

Short-term and long-term investments classified as available-for-sale at December 31, 2004 and 2003 consist of the following, stated at fair market value (in thousands):

Maturity information is as follows for investments classified as available-for-sale at December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

At December 31, 2003, gross unrealized gains were $30,000 and gross unrealized losses were $3,000.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $13.2 million recorded as a payroll tax receivable. In October 2000, Anuradha Jain, a former officer of the Company and the spouse of Naveen Jain, the Company’s former chairman and chief executive officer, exercised non-qualified stock options. The Company withheld and remitted to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) $12.6 million for federal income taxes based on the market price of the stock on the day of exercise and the Company also remitted the employer payroll tax of $620,000. Due primarily to the affiliate lock-up period from a merger involving the Company, the former officer was restricted

from transferring or selling the stock until February 2001. Management of the Company believes that the Treasury Regulations provide that taxable income is not recognized until this restriction has lapsed. The Company, therefore, returned the federal income tax withholding to the former officer and filed an amendment to its payroll tax return to request the tax refund. The Company’s payroll tax returns for the year 2000 have been audited by the IRS. The Company has received an examination report from the IRS disallowing the claim for the refund of $13.2 million. The Company is appealing that determination by the IRS and may seek recovery from the former officer. The Company believes that it has meritorious arguments to recover this receivable and that recovery of this receivable is probable. However, there can be no assurance regarding the timing, structure or extent of the Company’s recovery of this payroll tax receivable.

In April 2003, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the IRS regarding certain aspects of the audit of the Company’s payroll tax returns for the year 2000. The audit included a review of tax withholding on stock options exercised by certain former employees. The Company recorded a charge to Other, net of $4.0 million, which included penalties and estimated interest, during 2003. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company is relieved of any further withholding tax liability with respect to those certain former employees. In September 2004, the Company received the final assessment from the IRS and, accordingly, paid the IRS. The interest charges were less than originally estimated and, as a result, the Company recognized a credit of approximately $246,000 as part of Other, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in 2004.

In 2004, the Company settled a litigation matter concerning promissory notes due from a former officer, resulting in a gain of $3.9 million. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company received $3.3 million in cash and 18,438 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $622,000 from the former officer in full settlement of promissory notes previously recorded for $10.0 million and interest earned on the promissory notes of $1.6 million. The Company recorded $3.1 million of expense in 2002 to fully reserve the notes and related interest.

The Company invests in equity instruments of public and privately-held technology companies for business and strategic purposes. The Company does not exercise significant influence over the operating or financial policies of any of these companies. These investments are recorded as long-term assets. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had no investments in publicly-held and privately-held companies. As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s publicly-held and privately-held investments were zero and $1.4 million, respectively.

The Company accounts for its equity investments in public companies in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. SFAS No. 115 and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 59, Accounting for Noncurrent Marketable Equity Securities, provide guidance on determining when an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company periodically evaluates whether the declines in fair value of its investments are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of a review by members of the Company’s senior finance management, and includes market pricing information for the securities held, market and economic trends in the industry or geographic area, and specific information on the investee company’s financial condition for publicly held companies. For privately held companies with no quoted market price, the Company considers similar qualitative factors as noted above and also considers the implied value from any recent rounds of financing completed by the investee as well as market prices of comparable public companies. The Company requests from the private investee

companies their annual and quarterly financial statements to assist the Company in reviewing relevant financial data and to assist the Company in determining whether such data may indicate other-than temporary declines in fair value below the Company’s accounting basis. The Company recorded impairment charges totaling $916,000, $12.3 million and $20.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, related to certain of its public and private investments for which declines in fair value below the Company’s accounting basis was determined to be other-than-temporary. The impairment charges are reflected in Gain (loss) on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company also holds warrants in public and privately-held companies, initially acquired for business and strategic purposes. Some of these warrant agreements were issued in conjunction with equity investments. Additionally, some were issued in conjunction with a business agreement and contain certain provisions that require the Company to meet specific performance criteria under the agreement in order for the warrants to vest. When the Company meets its performance obligations it records revenue equal to the fair value of the warrants. The fair value of each warrant is calculated using the Black Scholes options pricing model using a risk free interest rate applicable to the date of the warrant valuation, a zero percent dividend yield, the volatility in stock price of the company issuing the warrant, if available, or a peer group volatility if not available, and the life of the warrant. The Company recorded revenue in the amount of $0, $135,000 and $2.4 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for vesting in warrants and stock, resulting from the amortization of previously unearned deferred warrant revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recognized a gain and proceeds of $1.3 million from an increase in the value of a warrant in a private company that was acquired.

Gain (loss) on investments, net is comprised of the following for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company conducted its annual impairment analysis for goodwill as of November 30, 2004 and 2003, and determined that the carrying value of its goodwill associated with each of its reporting units was not impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company conducted its annual impairment analysis for goodwill, and determined that the remaining value of its goodwill associated with the Mobile business unit was fully impaired and, accordingly, recorded a non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill of $56.1 million. The annual impairment analysis is based on a valuation of the Company’s reporting units using a combination of the Company’s quoted stock price and projections of future discounted cash flows for each reporting unit.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company evaluated its intangible assets and recorded an impairment charge of $1.2 million related to core technology acquired in the eCash acquisition (Note 8) as the Company determined that it would no longer pursue providing certain services utilizing this technology due to changes in the Company’s business focus.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded impairment charges related to certain other intangible assets totaling $20.3 million, of which $18.8 million was recorded within the mobile business unit, with the remainder of $1.5 million related to the merchant business unit. The Company determined that it would not pursue the development of certain technologies acquired in the Saraide, Locus Dialogue and Privacy Bank acquisitions. As a result of this decision, the Company sold certain assets of InfoSpace Speech Solutions (formerly Locus Dialogue) (Note 8) and recorded an impairment charge of $1.2 million for the write-off of this core technology. The Company also recorded an additional impairment charge totaling $13.7 million for the write-off of the core technology of Saraide and Privacy Bank for technology no longer in use and for which no future cash flows were expected. A decision was also made in 2002 to migrate the GiantBear customers to the Company’s wireless platform, from the GiantBear platform. This migration was completed in 2002, and the GiantBear infrastructure is no longer being used and there are no plans to utilize this technology in the future. Accordingly, the remaining balance of the un-amortized core technology acquired from GiantBear of $1.5 million was written off in the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company determined that the actual and forecasted revenue from the acquired Saraide and GiantBear customer lists were substantially less than forecasted at the time of acquisition. Many of these GiantBear contracts were subsequently cancelled post acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.9 million to writedown the value of the acquired customer lists to zero.

On January 15, 2002, the Company offered a limited non-compulsory exchange of stock options to its employees. Under the exchange offer, eligible employees had the opportunity to exchange eligible stock options for new options to be granted under the Company’s 1996 Restated Flexible Stock Incentive Plan. Options eligible for exchange were those having an exercise price of $100.00 or more per share. The exchange offer period expired on February 15, 2002, and the Company accepted for exchange options covering 1,272,442 shares of common stock. Shares accepted for exchange were cancelled pursuant to the terms of the Company’s existing stock options plans. The Company granted to each participating employee a new option to purchase one share of InfoSpace common stock for every ten shares of common stock underlying the exchanged options that were surrendered. In addition, each participating employee was eligible to receive an additional option grant, granted at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, to purchase a number of shares determined in accordance with the Company’s compensation policies and practices. On August 20, 2002 the Company granted new options covering 272,162 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.10. The new options were 25% vested on the date of grant and the remaining 75% vest in equal monthly installments over the three-year period following the grant date.

On July 3, 2002, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market that its stock had failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company needed to comply with the requirements for continued listing within 90 calendar days from such notification or be delisted. On July 25, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. The Company’s stockholders approved the reverse split at a special meeting held on September 12, 2002, and it was effective September 13, 2002. The number of post-split shares outstanding on September 13, 2002, was 30,928,805. On September 27, 2002, the Company was notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market that it had regained compliance with the minimum bid price rule and that Nasdaq considered the matter to be closed. In September 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. All references in the financial statements to shares, share prices, per share amounts and stock option plans have been adjusted retroactively to reflect this reverse stock split.

On July 19, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Preferred Stock Rights Agreement. Under the plan, the Company issued a dividend of one right for each share of its common stock held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2002. Each right will initially entitle stockholders to purchase a fractional share of the Company’s preferred stock for $55.00. However, the rights are not immediately exercisable and will become exercisable only upon the occurrence of certain events. If a person or group acquires, or announces a tender or exchange offer that would result in the acquisition of 15% or more of the Company’s common stock while the Stockholder Rights Plan remains in place (or, with respect to Naveen Jain, a former director, executive officer and founder of the Company, 25% or more of the Company’s common stock), then, unless the rights are redeemed by the Company for $0.001 per right, the rights will become exercisable by all rights holders except the acquiring person or group for shares of InfoSpace or shares of the third party acquirer, in each case having a value of twice the right’s then-current exercise price.

Stock Incentive Plans: The Company’s stock incentive plans provide employees (including officers and directors who are employees) of the Company an opportunity to purchase shares of stock pursuant to options which may qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and employees, officers, directors, independent contractors and consultants of the Company an opportunity to purchase shares of stock pursuant to options which are not described in Section 422 of the Code (nonqualified stock options). The plans also provide for the sale or bonus of stock to eligible individuals in connection with the performance of service for the Company. Finally, the plans authorize the grant of stock appreciation rights, either separately or in tandem with stock options, which entitle holders to cash compensation measured by appreciation in the value of the stock. The stock incentive plans are administered by the Compensation Committee, which is composed of non-employee directors.

The Company has one stock plan that was used for grants during 2004, 2003 and 2002. Options granted under the Restated 1996 Flexible Stock Incentive Program (the “1996 Plan”) typically vest over four years, either 25% one year from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a monthly basis or 25% one year from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a semi-annual basis, and expire seven or ten years from the date of grant. Shares underlying options available under the 1996 Plan increase annually on the first day of January by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) five percent of the Company’s outstanding shares at the end of the Company’s preceding fiscal year, or (B) a lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors. The 1996 Plan limits the number of shares of common stock that may be granted to any one individual pursuant to stock options in any fiscal year of the Company to 800,000 shares, plus an additional 800,000 shares in connection with his or her initial employment with the Company, which grant shall not count against the limit. If an option is surrendered or for any other reason ceases to be exercisable in whole or in part, the shares which were subject to the option but on which the option has not been exercised shall continue to be available under the 1996 Plan. Restricted stock granted under the 1996 Plan in 2001 vested over a 17-month period. As of December 31, 2004, 777,410 shares were available for grant of options or other equity incentives under the 1996 Plan.

In February 2001, the Company implemented the 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”), under which nonqualified stock options to purchase common stock or shares of restricted stock may be granted to employees. Under the 2001 Plan, 2.5 million shares of common stock are authorized for grant of options or issuance of restricted stock. Options granted under the 2001 Plan expire ten years from the date of the grant and vest over two years, with 50% vesting ratably on a monthly basis for the first 24 months and the remaining 50% balance vesting at the end of the two-year period. Restricted stock granted under the 2001 Plan vests over a 17-month period, 16.7% two months from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2004, 1,581,157 shares were available for grant of options or issuance of restricted stock under the 2001 Plan.

On April 17, 2000, the Company initiated the InfoSpace, Inc. and Saraide Inc. 2000 Stock Plan (the “Tandem Plan”), a tandem plan under which incentive options and nonqualified stock options to purchase common stock may be granted to employees of Saraide, Inc. (“Saraide”), a subsidiary of the Company. Under the Tandem Plan, Saraide employees receiving the grant received an option to purchase Saraide stock or stock of the Company. At the time of exercise, the employee chooses the option to exercise the Saraide option or the InfoSpace option. Upon exercise of one option, rights in the option of the other company are cancelled. Under the Tandem Plan, options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for grants. Options under the Tandem Plan expire ten years from the date of the grant. Options under this plan generally vest over four years, 25% one year from date of grant and ratably thereafter on a monthly basis. As of December 31, 2004, 990,733 shares of InfoSpace common stock remain available for grant of options under the Tandem Plan. The Company does not expect to make additional grants from this plan.

In addition to the plans described above, the Company has seven option plans assumed through acquisitions by InfoSpace and Go2Net, Inc. Options granted under these plans typically vest over a four-year period, 25% one year from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a quarterly basis and expire six years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2004, 266,388 options were outstanding from these assumed plans, and 218,576 options are available for grant from these plans. The Company also has nonqualified stock options that were issued outside of the other stock option plans in 1998. These options vest over four years, 25% one year from the date of grant and ratably thereafter on a monthly basis and expire ten years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2004, 4,771 options were outstanding from the options issued outside of the 1996 Plan, 2001 Plan and Tandem Plan.

Activity and pricing information regarding all options and restricted stock, excluding the Tandem Plan, are summarized as follows:

Activity and pricing information regarding the Tandem Plan is summarized as follows:

Information regarding stock option grants for all plans during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is summarized as follows:

Shares granted with an exercise price that exceeds the market price are generally the result of an acquisition. When a company is acquired, the Company assumes the stock options of employees that are retained from the acquired company. These acquired stock options are considered to be new grants by the Company and retain the original exercise price adjusted for the acquisition conversion ratio.

Additional information regarding options outstanding for all plans as of December 31, 2004, is as follows:

AOL Warrants: On August 24, 1998, the Company entered into agreements with America Online, Inc. (“AOL”) to provide white pages directory and classifieds information services to AOL. As part of these agreements, the Company issued to AOL warrants to purchase up to 791,933 shares of common stock, which warrants vested in 16 equal quarterly installments over four years, conditioned on certain performance by AOL. The warrants have an exercise price of $15.00 per share and were valued at approximately $3.3 million at the date of grant, using the fair value method, as required under SFAS No. 123. The fair value of the warrants was expensed ratably over the four-year vesting period. As of December 31, 2004, AOL had 445,462 unexercised warrants, all of which are fully vested.

Other Warrants: The Company also has outstanding warrants to purchase 1,391,647 shares of common stock issued in connection with the Company’s May and August 1998 private placement offerings. These warrants can be exercised at any time until their expirations dates, which are between May 21, 2008 and August 6, 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, no warrants were exercised, and at December 31, 2004 there were 1,391,647 warrants outstanding, with a range of exercise prices as follows:

1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan: The Company adopted the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) in August 1998. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code, and permits eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their compensation. Under the ESPP, no employee may purchase common stock worth more than $25,000 in any calendar year, valued as of the first day of each offering period. In addition, owners of 5% or

more of the Company or one of its subsidiary’s common stock may not participate in the ESPP. An aggregate of 1,360,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP was implemented with six-month offering periods that begin on each February 1 and August 1. The price of common stock purchased under the ESPP is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value on the first day of an offering period and 85% of the fair market value on the last day of an offering period. The ESPP does not have a fixed expiration date, but may be terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time. There were 58,694 shares issued for ESPP periods that ended in 2004, 175,102 shares issued for the ESPP periods that ended in 2003, and 88,959 shares issued for the ESPP periods that ended in 2002.

The following presents information regarding the Company’s business combinations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, including information about the allocation of purchase price from these transactions.

IOMO Limited. On December 1, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of IOMO Limited, a mobile games company, for $15.4 million in cash, plus acquisition costs. The purchase agreement required that $2.1 million of the purchase price to be placed in escrow to provide security for the indemnification of certain representations and warranties as set forth in the purchase agreement.

The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as follows:

The expected useful life is five years for the customer relationships and two years for content and existing contracts and agreements, and the Company is amortizing the intangible assets over their respective expected lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, no amortization of the goodwill will be recorded, as it has an indefinite life. The goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually, with the Company’s other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Since the acquisition occurred close to year end, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to adjustments, which may include adjustments to acquisition costs, assumed accounts receivable, accounts payable, fixed assets, prepaid expenses and other assets.

Atlas Mobile, Inc. On July 1, 2004, the Company acquired the assets of Atlas Mobile, Inc., a provider of mobile multi-player tournament games, for $6.3 million in cash, plus acquisition costs. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair values as follows:

The expected useful life is five years for the contractual relationships, three years for developed core technology and two years for existing content contracts and agreements, and the Company is amortizing the intangible assets over their respective expected lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, no amortization of the goodwill will be recorded, as it has an indefinite life. The goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually, with the Company’s other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Switchboard Incorporated. On June 3, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Switchboard Incorporated (“Switchboard”), a provider of local on-line advertising and Internet based Yellow pages. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Switchboard for $7.75 per share in cash totaling approximately $159.4 million, plus estimated transaction fees of approximately $6.2 million, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $165.6 million. The Company acquired Switchboard to further expand its presence in the on-line directory industry, because of Switchboard’s brand name and trade recognition and existing traffic base, among other items. As of the acquisition date, Switchboard had approximately $56.4 million in cash and marketable securities and no debt.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as follows:

The tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values, which approximated their carrying amounts at the acquisition date. The expected life of the developed core technology is assumed to be three years, after which substantial modifications and enhancements would be required for the technology to remain competitive. The expected lives of the customer contracts and merchant listings are assumed to range between one and three years, which is consistent with the expected cash flows from the contracts and merchant listings. The Company has determined that the acquired trademark and trade name have indefinite lives, and, therefore, these intangible assets will not be amortized to expense unless a determination is made in the future that the useful lives are definite or the assets are determined to be impaired. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. The goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually, with the Company’s other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of InfoSpace and Switchboard, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of each period presented. This pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each period presented. The following amounts are in thousands, except per share data:

Moviso LLC. On November 26, 2003, the Company acquired all of the membership interest of Moviso LLC, a North American mobile media content provider, from Vivendi Universal Net USA Group, Inc. for purchase consideration of $25.0 million plus acquisition costs.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as follows:

The expected life of the core technology was assumed to be four years, after which substantial modifications and enhancements would be required for the technology to remain competitive. The expected life of the customer contracts was assumed to be five years, which is consistent with the expected cash flows from the customer contracts. The expected life of the content library and content provider relationships ranges from one to five years, which is consistent with the expected cash flows from the content and the relationships. The Company is amortizing the intangible assets over their respective expected lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, no amortization of the goodwill will be recorded, as it has an indefinite life. The goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually, with the Company’s other indefinite-lived intangible assets. The initial allocation of the purchase price was adjusted for the revision of estimates related to assumed accounts receivable, accounts payable, other assets and accrued expenses for royalty and content, and those adjustments are reflected in the amounts above.

Saraide, Inc. In 2000, the Company acquired 80% of the common stock of Saraide, Inc., a component of the Mobile segment. During November and December 2003, the Company acquired the remaining 20% interest in Saraide, Inc. at an aggregate cost of approximately $8.6 million, which includes the cost of a litigation settlement with certain shareholders of Saraide, Inc. The Company recorded goodwill of $1.1 million and the remainder was charged to Other, net on the statement of operations as cost of the settlement. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, no amortization of the goodwill will be recorded, as it has an indefinite life. The goodwill will be tested for impairment at least annually, with the Company’s other indefinite-lived intangibles.

Contactpage.com, Inc. On October 21, 2003, the Company acquired certain assets of Contactpage.com, Inc. for purchase consideration of $2.6 million in cash. The assets acquired consisted entirely of purchased

technology, which was classified as core technology to be used in the Search & Directory segment.

The expected life of the core technology was assumed to be five years, after which substantial modifications and enhancements would be required for the technology to remain competitive. The expected life of the customer contracts was assumed to be three and a half years, which is consistent with the expected cash flows from the customer contracts. The Company is amortizing the intangible assets over their respective estimated lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, no amortization of the goodwill will be recorded, as it has an indefinite life.

The Company has noncancellable operating leases for its corporate facilities. The leases expire through 2008. Rent expense under operating leases totaled approximately $3.6 million, $5.4 million and $8.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Future minimum rental payments required under noncancellable operating leases are as follows for the years ending December 31 (in thousands):

On March 19, 2001, a purported shareholder derivative complaint entitled Youtz v. Jain, et al. was filed in the Superior Court of Washington for King County (“Derivative Action”). The complaint has been amended four times thus far and has been renamed Dreiling v. Jain, et al. The named defendants include certain current and former officers and directors of the Company, entities related to several of the individual defendants, and the Company’s auditor; the Company is named as a “nominal defendant.” The complaint alleges that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties to InfoSpace, that certain defendants were unjustly enriched by engaging in insider trading, and that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Go2Net Inc. (“Go2Net”), Prio, Inc., and INEX Corporation mergers. Various equitable remedies are requested in the complaint, including disgorgement, restitution, accounting and imposition of a constructive trust as well as monetary damages. The complaint is derivative in nature and does not seek monetary damages from, or the imposition of equitable remedies on, the Company. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business with its officers and directors and may be obligated throughout the pendency of this action to advance payment of legal fees and costs incurred by the defendant current and former officers and directors pursuant to the Company’s obligations under the indemnification agreements and applicable Delaware law. The Special Litigation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, conducted an investigation relating to the complaint allegations, and in March 2002, filed a motion to terminate the Derivative Action. In its May 2003 order on the motion to terminate the action and related motions, the Superior Court terminated the breach of fiduciary duty claims regarding the merger with Prio, Inc., terminated the claims against one defendant and his related entities, and stayed the case as to the remaining claims. On December 23, 2004, the Company and certain other parties in the Derivative Action announced a combined settlement agreement that seeks to resolve the claims in the Derivative Action, as well as claims in certain other lawsuits involving the Company. At a hearing on February 18, 2005, the Superior Court granted final approval of the settlement agreement. The settlement is conditioned on the expiration of the time for appeal, or the favorable resolution of any appeals, of the court orders granting final approval of the combined settlement agreement. There can be no assurance that the final settlement will be obtained. The combined settlement agreement is further described below.

On September 26, 2001, a complaint entitled Dreiling v. Kellett, et al. was filed by a shareholder plaintiff in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (“Section 16(b) Action”). The complaint sought disgorgement of “short swing” profits under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The complaint was subsequently amended to add Naveen and Anuradha Jain and certain Jain trusts as defendants. The complaint does not seek damages or other remedies from the Company. In February 2003, the Kellett defendants settled with plaintiff for $5.5 million. The District Court approved that settlement in June 2003 and awarded to plaintiff’s counsel fees equal to 25% of the settlement amount, plus the costs of the action, with the balance of the settlement accruing to the Company. The Company recognized a gain of $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2003 for this settlement, which was collected in 2003. The complaint was subsequently recaptioned Dreiling v. Jain, et al., and in May 2003, the District Court granted plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment against the Jains and found that they were liable for violating Section 16(b). In August 2003, the District Court entered judgment against the Jains in the amount of approximately $247 million, consisting of damages plus prejudgment interest. The Jains are appealing that judgment before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and the outcome of the appeal is inherently uncertain. On December 23, 2004, the Company and all other parties in the Section 16(b) Action announced a combined settlement agreement that seeks to resolve the claims in the Section 16(b) Action, as well as claims in certain other lawsuits involving the Company. At a hearing on February 15, 2005, the District Court granted final approval of the settlement agreement. The settlement is conditioned on the expiration of the time for appeal, or the favorable resolution of any appeals, of the court orders granting final

approval of the combined settlement agreement. There can be no assurance that the final settlement will be obtained. The combined settlement agreement is further described below.

On March 10, 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of Washington for King County entitled InfoSpace Inc. v. Naveen Jain, et al. (“Intelius Action”). The complaint names as defendants Naveen Jain, the Company’s former chairman and chief executive officer; Kevin Marcus, the Company’s former chief software architect; and the company they co-founded, Intelius Inc. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary and contractual duties owed to the Company, wrongfully interfered with the Company’s contractual relationships and misappropriated InfoSpace’s trade secrets and confidential information in order to unfairly compete with the Company. The complaint asserts a number of claims, including breaches of fiduciary duty and contract, conversion, tortious interference, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, and civil conspiracy. The Company seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages in an amount to be proven at trial. In March 2003, Intelius filed its answer to the Company’s complaint, denying the Company’s claims and asserting various counterclaims against the Company, including breach of fiduciary duty, defamation and unfair competition. In May 2003, the Superior Court issued an oral decision denying the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction against Jain, Marcus and Intelius. In November 2003, Intelius voluntarily dismissed its counterclaims and the Company voluntarily dismissed certain claims against Marcus. In January 2004, the Superior Court granted summary judgment in favor of Jain and Marcus on the Company’s claim for breach of contract. The Company is appealing that ruling, among others. The Company believes that it has meritorious bases for its appeal, but litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company may not prevail in this matter.

On August 28, 2003, the Jains filed a complaint entitled Naveen Jain, et al. v. InfoSpace, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of Washington for King County against the Company and other parties (“Jain v. InfoSpace Action”). The complaint sought declaratory relief and damages based on defendants’ alleged actions in connection with the transactions underlying the $247 million judgment entered against the Jains in the Section 16(b) Action. In May 2004, the Superior Court ordered the case stayed pending a ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Jains’ appeal in the Section 16(b) Action. Subsequently in May 2004, the Superior Court ordered the Jain v. InfoSpace Action consolidated with two other lawsuits, each of which has also been stayed: the Jain v. Clarendon Action (described in the paragraph below) and another lawsuit involving the Jains but not the Company. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the Jains’ complaint, but litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company may not prevail in this matter.

On August 29, 2003, the Jains amended a complaint entitled Naveen Jain, et ux. v. Clarendon American Insurance Company, et al. in the Superior Court of Washington for King County to add the Company as a defendant (“Jain v. Clarendon Action”). The amended complaint asserts claims against InfoSpace and certain insurance companies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) to InfoSpace and its current and former directors and officers for the period covered by the Section 16(b) Action. The Jains allege in their complaint that the D&O Insurance should be available to offset the $247 million judgment entered against the Jains in the Section 16(b) Action. The Jains further allege that InfoSpace interfered with a potential settlement of the Section 16(b) Action, and thus InfoSpace should be liable for the judgment in the Section 16(b) Action. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the Jains’ complaint, but litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company may not prevail in this matter. As described in the paragraph above, the Superior Court consolidated the Jain v. Clarendon Action, the Jain v. InfoSpace Action, and a third lawsuit not involving the Company (collectively, the “Consolidated Action”). The Consolidated Action is currently stayed in the Superior Court. The Jains are appealing the Superior Court’s stay before the Washington Court of Appeals, and the outcome of the appeal is inherently uncertain.

On December 23, 2004, a combined settlement agreement was reached in the Derivative Action and Section 16(b) Action. The combined settlement agreement contemplates (among other consideration) a cash payment to the Company, net of plaintiff’s counsel’s fee and certain costs, of approximately $83 million, including insurance proceeds. In addition, the settlement agreement contemplates dismissal of the Derivative Action and Section 16(b) Action with prejudice, except that dismissal of derivative claims against one non-officer or director defendant will be without prejudice. The combined settlement agreement also resolves all claims in the Intelius Action, and all claims by the Jains against the Company in the Consolidated Action. The combined settlement agreement was granted final approval by the Superior Court of Washington for King County at a hearing on February 18, 2005, and by the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington at a hearing on February 15, 2005. The combined settlement agreement is conditioned on the expiration of the time for appeal, or the favorable resolution of any appeals, of the Superior Court and District Court orders granting final approval. There can be no assurance that the final settlement will be obtained.

On June 6, 2003, a complaint entitled Enger v. Richards, filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington (King County), was amended to add the Company and Naveen Jain, its former chairman and chief executive officer, as defendants. The action alleges claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (“RICO”) and Washington Securities Act and various common law causes of action in connection with the sale of Yellow Pages on the Internet, LLC to the Company in May 1997. The amended complaint seeks damages that the plaintiff estimates to be $127.8 million, but plaintiff’s various damages estimates describe a broader range of purported damages. In December 2003, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the Company from this action. In January 2004, John Richards, a former Company employee, amended his answer to the complaint to assert a third-party claim for indemnification against the Company. In February 2004, Jain amended his answer to assert a third-party claim for indemnification against the Company. The Court has dismissed on summary judgment plaintiff’s RICO claim, the Washington Securities Act claim, and various equitable theories of recovery. The Court also dismissed those claims against Jain based on common law fraud and on a purported agency relationship between Richards and Jain, and the Court has issued a number of rulings limiting plaintiff’s available damages. On January 22, 2005, a settlement was reached under which the plaintiff agreed to release all claims and potential claims against the Company and the Jains. The settlement proceeds will be paid entirely by insurance. The Jains’ claim against the Company for indemnity was also released. Richards’ claim for indemnification was not a part of the settlement agreement. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims for indemnification, but litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company may not prevail in this matter.

In September of 2000, Go2Net sued FreeYellow.com, Inc., a Florida corporation, and John Molino, FreeYellow’s sole shareholder, in the Superior Court of Washington (King County) seeking to rescind its acquisition of FreeYellow that closed in October 1999, and in the alternative, seeking damages. Molino denied the allegations and asserted a counterclaim for breach of the merger agreement. In October 2000, Go2Net was acquired by and became a wholly owned subsidiary of InfoSpace. In August 2001, Go2Net amended the complaint to add a claim against FreeYellow and Molino under the Securities Act of Washington (“WSA”). The trial occurred in August 2002, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of Go2Net on its WSA claim. In January 2003, the judge entered a judgment pursuant to which Molino owes Go2Net $1.2 million plus interest at 12% per annum from December 31, 2002. Molino is appealing the judgment, and oral argument before the Washington Court of Appeals was held in March 2004. The Court of Appeals’ decision is pending.

Two of nine founding shareholders and three other shareholders of Authorize.Net Corporation, a subsidiary acquired through the Company’s merger with Go2Net, filed a lawsuit in May 2000 in Utah State Court. This action was brought to reallocate amongst the founding shareholders of Authorize.Net the consideration received in the acquisition of Authorize.Net by Go2Net. The plaintiffs are making claims under the Utah Uniform

Securities Act as well as claims of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, conflict of interest, breach of contract and related claims, and seek compensatory and punitive damages in the amount of $200 million, rescission of certain transactions in Authorize.Net securities, and declaratory and injunctive relief. The plaintiffs subsequently amended the claims to name Authorize.Net as a defendant with regard to the claims under the Utah Uniform Securities Act and have asserted related claims against Go2Net and InfoSpace; the case is now captioned Patrick O’Keefe II, et al. v. David O’Heaps, et al. Authorize.Net updated and re-filed its prior motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all claims against it. The Utah Court granted Authorize.Net’s summary judgment motion, and on November 2, 2004, the Utah Court entered an order dismissing all claims plaintiffs asserted against Authorize.Net, Go2Net, and InfoSpace with prejudice. Authorize.Net previously asserted counterclaims against the plaintiffs on which plaintiffs also have now filed for summary judgment, and the Utah Court has denied plaintiffs’ summary judgment motion against those counterclaims. Authorize.Net remains a defendant in the lawsuit in cross-claims for indemnification and contribution asserted by two former officers of Authorize.Net. Pursuant to the Company’s sale of Authorize.Net to Lightbridge, the Company has agreed to indemnify Lightbridge for liability, if any, resulting from the plaintiffs’ claims. The Company believes Authorize.Net and Go2Net have meritorious defenses to these cross-claims, but litigation is inherently uncertain and they may not prevail in this matter.

On March 26, 2004, a complaint entitled Alexander Hutton Capital, L.L.C. v. John Richards, Naveen Jain, et al., was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington (King County). Plaintiff did not name the Company as a defendant. As in the Enger v. Richards case (above) to which it is related, this action alleges claims under RICO and the Washington Securities Act, and various common law causes of action in connection with the sale of Yellow Pages on the Internet, LLC to the Company in May 1997. The complaint seeks damages that the plaintiff estimates to be $174.8 million. In April 2004, Jain filed an answer in which he asserted a third party claim for indemnification against the Company. In June 2004, the Court dismissed with prejudice the plaintiff’s RICO claim against the Jains and Richards. In July 2004, Richards filed an answer in which he asserts a third party claim for indemnification against the Company. In February 2005, a settlement was reached under which plaintiff agreed to release all claims and potential claims against the Company and the Jains. The settlement proceeds will be paid entirely by insurance. The settlement agreement includes a release of the Jains’ claim for indemnity against the Company. Richards’ claim for indemnification was not a part of the settlement agreement. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to Richards’ claims for indemnification, but litigation is inherently uncertain and the Company may not prevail in this matter.

In addition, from time to time the Company is subject to various other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business or are not material to our business. Although the Company cannot predict the outcomes of the other proceedings with certainty, the Company’s management does not believe that the disposition of these ordinary course matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The income tax provision (benefit) consists of the following for the years ending December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

The income tax provision (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was primarily related to the Company’s international operations. The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2003 included a provision for U.S. federal alternative minimum tax.

The income tax provision (benefit) differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate for the years ending December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

The tax effect of temporary differences and net operating loss carry forwards that give rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows (in thousands):

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company provided a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets. The Company believes sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets

such that a full valuation allowance is required. The net change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $7.1 million and $404,000, respectively.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward for income tax purposes was approximately $1.2 billion, of which approximately $892 million are the result of the exercise of certain employee stock options and warrants. When the net operating loss related to the exercise of certain employee stock options and warrants are realized, the tax benefit is accounted for as an increase to additional paid-in capital rather than a reduction of the income tax provision.

If not utilized, the Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire between 2011 and 2024. Additionally, changes in ownership, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, may limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards used in any one year.

The Company’s federal research tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes are approximately $18.7 million. If not utilized, the Company’s federal research tax credit carryforwards will expire between 2011 and 2024.

Restructuring charges were approximately $222,000, $11.7 million, and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

During 2004, the Company recorded an adjustment to its reserves related to a restructuring charge in 2003, to adjust its estimated reserves for its future excess facilities costs, based on reducing the present value of future committed lease payments by estimated sublease rental income, net of estimated sublease costs or the cost to terminate the excess facilities leases. Additionally, in June 2004, the Company entered into lease termination agreements with its landlord for the majority of its excess facilities. The aggregate cost to terminate such leases amounted to approximately $2.4 million all of which has been paid as of December 31, 2004.

During 2003, the Company implemented reductions in its workforce and, as part of the workforce reductions, consolidated its corporate facilities. The Company also closed an international sales office. The restructuring charges consist of $4.5 million in employee severance and other separation charges, a $4.7 million charge related to its excess facilities, $1.9 million to write down leasehold improvements and equipment related to the excess facilities, $405,000 of lease termination costs, and a $148,000 charge related to the realized loss on foreign currency fluctuations related to the closure of the international sales office.

During 2002, the Company decided to sell certain assets of InfoSpace Speech Solutions and close its operations in Brazil. As a result of this asset sale, the Company incurred a loss on the sale of these assets of approximately $991,000 and the closure of the Brazil operations resulted in a charge of $537,000 relating to the cumulative realized loss on foreign currency fluctuations since inception. This amount was previously classified in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, as part of the Company’s focus on profitability and streamlining operations, the Company reduced its workforce during the fourth quarter of 2002 and incurred a restructuring charge of $487,000 related to this reduction in workforce. These charges were partially offset by a reduction of $156,000 to the estimated lease expenses related to the Company’s former Seattle and Mountain View facilities.

The restructuring charges for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

At December 31, 2004, the accrued liability associated with the restructuring related charges was $226,000 and consisted of the following (in thousands):

The remaining accrued reserve amounts are expected to be paid during 2005 and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for the way that companies report information about operating business units in annual financial statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.

During 2004, the Company focused on two core businesses, Search & Directory and Mobile and, in March 2004, the Company sold its Payment Solutions business, which is presented as a discontinued operation.

The Company measures the results of its reportable segments based on operating income or loss before depreciation, amortization and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, restructuring charges, other charges, gains and losses on equity investments and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle. This measure is referred to as segment income (loss). Segment income (loss) or income from non-core services

excludes depreciation, amortization and allocation of corporate expenses. Certain indirect expenses are allocated to the reportable business units based on internal usage measurements. The Company does not allocate certain indirect general and administrative expenses, income taxes or interest income to the reportable business units.

Information on reportable segments currently presented to the Company’s chief operating decision maker and a reconciliation to consolidated net loss for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are presented below (in thousands). The Company does not account for, and does not report to management, its assets (other than goodwill and other intangible assets for SFAS No. 142 reporting purposes) or capital expenditures by business unit.

For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company’s revenues were derived from its products and application services delivered to a range of customers that span each of its business units: Search & Directory and Mobile. Business unit revenue information for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is as follows (in thousands):

From time to time, the Company has made investments in private and public companies for business and strategic purposes. In the normal course of business, the Company has entered into agreements to provide various promotional services for some of these companies. Revenues earned from companies in which the Company owns stock are considered related party revenue, including independent service agreements entered into with companies that the Company or Go2Net invested in during prior years. The Company has made no new investments in public or private companies for business and strategic purposes, and has not entered into any significant new agreements with companies in which the Company owns stock since 2001. The Company recorded related party revenues of $0, $191,000 and $2.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which included warrant revenues of $0, $135,000 and $1.7 million, respectively.

The Company has a 401(k) savings plan covering its U.S. based employees. Eligible employees may contribute through payroll deductions. The Company may match the employees’ 401(k) contributions at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. During 2004 and 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to match a portion of the 401(k) contributions made by employees of the Company. The amount contributed by the Company is equal to a maximum of 50% of employee contributions up to a maximum of 3% of an employee’s salary. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company contributed $745,000 and $386,000, respectively. Prior to 2003, the Company did not match employee contributions to the 401(k) savings plan.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards using the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, no compensation expense is recorded for stock options granted

with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 to stock compensation awards. Rather, SFAS No. 123(R) requires enterprises to measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. That cost will be recognized over the period during which a person is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The Company has not yet quantified the effects of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), but expects that the new standard will result in significant stock-based compensation expense. The pro forma effects on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the fair value recognition provisions of original SFAS No. 123 on stock compensation awards (rather than applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25) is presented in Note 1: Stock-based compensation. Although such pro forma effects of applying the original SFAS No. 123 may be indicative of the effects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the provisions of these two statements differ in important respects. The actual effects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) will be dependent on numerous factors including, but not limited to, the valuation model chosen by the Company to value stock-based awards; the assumed award forfeiture rate; the accounting policies adopted concerning the method of recognizing the fair value of awards over the requisite service period; and the transition method (as described below) chosen for adopting SFAS No. 123(R).

SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for fiscal quarter beginning July 1, 2005, and requires the use of the Modified Prospective Application Method. Under this method, SFAS No. 123(R) is applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (such as unvested options) that are outstanding as of the date of adoption shall be recognized as the remaining requisite services are rendered. The compensation cost relating to unvested awards at the date of adoption shall be based on the fair value at the date of grant of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures under the original SFAS No. 123. In addition, the Company may use the Modified Retrospective Application Method. This method may be applied to all prior years for which the original SFAS No. 123 was effective or only to prior interim periods in the year of initial adoption. If the Modified Retrospective Application Method is applied, financial statements for prior periods shall be adjusted to give effect to the fair-value-based method of accounting for awards on a consistent basis with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods under the original SFAS No. 123.

On December 15, 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of elkware GmbH, a German mobile gaming company, for approximately $26.4 million in cash. The transaction was consummated on January 7, 2005.
