Litigation

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings from time to time incidental to the conduct of its business. These proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. The nature of legal proceedings is such that the Company cannot assure the outcome of any particular matter, and an unfavorable ruling or development could have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the period in which a ruling or settlement occurs. However, based on information available to the Company’s management to date and other than as noted below, the Company’s management does not expect that the outcome of any matter pending against us is likely to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2013, our annual results of operations, cash flows or liquidity of the Company.

Global Education Services, Inc. v. LiveDeal, Inc.

On June 6, 2008, Global Education Services, Inc., which we refer to as GES, filed a consumer fraud lawsuit against us in the King County Superior Court in the State of Washington, alleging that our use of activator checks violated the Washington Consumer Protection Act and seeking class certification pursuant to Washington law. GES sought injunctive relief against our use of activator checks, damages in an amount equal to three times the damages allegedly sustained by the members of the putative class, exemplary damages for the alleged violation of law and its fees and costs. We denied the allegations and commenced defending the litigation.

Early in 2010, the Court denied both parties’ dispositive motions, at which time they commenced settlement discussions. The parties reached a settlement and entered into a settlement agreement on or about November 5, 2012. The settlement agreement required $150,000 to be paid to plaintiff’s counsel, $10,000 to be paid to GES as the “representative plaintiff” and $70 to be paid to each eligible class member. The Court granted final approval of the settlement on April 26, 2013 and the Court’s order became final on May 27, 2013. All class member claims have been paid and the last attorneys’ fee payment was made on November 23, 2013. Accordingly, the litigation is fully resolved and the matter closed.

J3 Harmon LLC v. LiveDeal, Inc.

On February 9, 2012, J3 Harmon LLC, which we refer to as J3, filed a lawsuit against us in the Superior Court for Maricopa County in the State of Arizona, alleging breach of a commercial lease agreement. J3 sought damages for alleged unpaid rents during the lease term as well as alleged damages for storage costs after the expiration of the lease term. We denied the allegations and asserted various affirmative defenses. In September 2012, the Maricopa County Superior Court entered a judgment in favor of J3 in the sum of $62,886. We appealed this judgment.

On October 1, 2013, the Arizona Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part on the principal damages and remanded the matter for judgment. Subsequently, the Maricopa County Superior Court entered Judgment on Mandate against the Company in the principal sum of $46,636.31 and attorneys’ fees of $5,624.40, with post-judgment interest from October 3, 2012. There is no further basis for appeal by the Company. The Company anticipates paying the judgment during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014 and, upon such payment, the matter will be resolved. As of December 31, 2013, we maintained an accrual of $52,261 related to this matter.
