Company Presentation January 2011
January 2011
These slides and the accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements and information. All statements other than statements of
historical facts in these slides and the accompanying oral presentation, including statements regarding our future financial condition, business
strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-
looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “will,” “should,”
“could,” “plan,” “future,” “expect,” “predict,” “potential,” “target” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. We have based these
forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our
financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, our immature industry and relatively new business model, our ability to evaluate our
current and future prospects, our ability to grow revenue to offset increased expenses, our ability to purchase media from Google, Yahoo! and
Microsoft, our ability to recruit, train and retain our Internet Marketing Consultants and a number of other factors out of our control, that may cause our
business, industry, strategy or actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may also include
those discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s periodic filings and its registration statement on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and other factors that may not be known to us.
These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risk and
uncertainties. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the
forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Moreover, neither we nor any other person assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Any forward-
looking statement speaks only as of its date. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements
for any reason after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
