`
`Industry Overview
`
`Market Dynamics
`Managementis focused on providing ASP services to publishers in the “directional advertising” market.
`Directional advertising directs buyers to sellers when they’re ready to buy, so there is already an established
`need. Examples include publishers of newspaperclassified ads, yellow pages ads, paid search engines,
`online auctions and other paid directories. Industry experts expect the total directional ad marketis projected
`to generate revenue of $38.0B in 2004.
`
`Traditionally a Print Market. Directional advertising hastraditionally been a print product, where ads are
`sourced by a publisher’s sales force, created by publisher’s in-house production staff (.e. together, a “full
`serve” offering) and placed intoa static print product such as the classifieds section in a physical newspaper
`or a display ad in the local Yellow Pages book for the consumer to read. The newspaper classifieds and
`yellow pages print markets collectively are projected to generate $29.6B in revenue, or 78% oftotal, for
`2004 (see Figure 4).

`
`Growth is Online. The arrival of the Internet has brought about several fundamental shifts in the directional
`ad market, placing traditional print publishers and their revenue under attack. First, companies such as
`Google, Overture and eBay are leveraging the Internet to deliver a better consumer experience that offers
`extended search functionality, broader listing inventory and deeper contentto facilitate consumers’ decision-
`making processes. Asa result, consumers are increasingly moving online for their searches and, ultimately,
`purchases of goods and services. Second, these online companies are enabling basic ad creation and
`placement to occur online and in a “self-serve” environment, with advertisers themselves using web-based
`tools to create and publish their ads in realtime at reduced rates. This online segment will generate
`approximately $8.4B, or 22% oftotal ads, in 2004 (see Figure 4).

`
`
`
`Growth in the total directional ad market will be fueled primarily by the online segment, with online
`directional advertising growing to $21.3B or 40% of the total $53.5B directional advertising market by 2008.
`This leaves the print side with virtually flat growth during the same period and a dramatically reduced market
`share at only 60% oftotal products (see Figure 5).

`
`Opportunity
`
`Traditional Publishers Need to Change. The market dynamics are forcingtraditional publishers to change
`in order to compete in both the online and print worlds. Many of these publishers have responded by
`building online platforms that simply replicate their existing print ad inventory and leverage a small portion
`of the Internet’s benefits such as text search so consumers can find the ads. For example, most newspapers
`have launched online classified services that mirror their print products, and virtually all of the yellow page
`publishers have launched an online directory version of their print directory. To a large extent, these online
`platforms - both for traditional publishers and their newer online competitors - do not yet leverage the full
`capabilities of the Internet medimm when it comes to presenting ads in an engaging, visually-compelling,
`professional manner.
`Instead, ads are predominantly static, text-based and do little to create a consumer
`“call-to-action.”
`
`As consumers increasingly move online, advertisers are forced to find easy and cost-effective ways to market
`their products and services online as well, all within an ROI that makes sense. Managementbelieves that
`local advertising for goods and services, largely purchased by small to medium enterprises (SME’s),
`is
`lagging the consumer movement, and creating a gap in the supply and demandofdirectional advertising.
`
`Per industry analysts The Kelsey Group, there are over 10 million widely distributed SME’s in the U'S.
`today andtheir advertising budgets average $6,000 per year. SME’s do the majority of their business within a
`50 mile radius of their location and over 70% of all SME’s do not have or do not maintain a website. The
`challenge for publishers is to get these local businesses with limited online exposure or technical expertise to
`advertise online, in a manner that fully reflects the broadness and diversity of their offerings, and to do all
`this in a cost-effective manner.

`
`
`
`
`
`SME’s Need Better Online Tools. There is an increasing recognition that traditional publishers must add
`compelling, easy-to-use, online tools for local advertisers to reach qualified leads. SME’s need to easily
`create, display and manage professional-looking online ads so that they can compete effectively against
`larger, national businesses with the expertise and resources to manage professional online ad campaigns.
`There also is a need to help bridge the transition from print to web, as both platforms have a place in a local
`business advertising strategy.
`
` Confidential Material
`
`These online tools must:
`• Make the ad creation process simple, cost-effective, flexible and easily updated;
`• Improve the relevancy of local search results;
`• Not be dependent on websites and be complementary to websites where they do exist;
`• Showcase goods and services and create calls-to-action using media-rich presentations with photos,
`logos, coupons, virtual tours and more to attract consumer attention;
`• Create brand awareness for the business;
`• Offer multiple ways to contact the seller, whether via phone, fax, email, maps, driving directions or
`other methods; and

`With a lack of expertise in developing web services and a continued focus on print products, traditional
`publishers have shown a proclivity toward partnering with third-party technology providers in an effort to
`accelerate their time to market for online services.
`
`Management sees an opportunity to step in and provide traditional publishers (newspaper classifieds and
`yellow pages) with web-based tools that enable their advertiser base (primarily SME’s and certain private
`party sellers) to create, distribute and manage visually enhanced ads online.

`
`The IPIX AdMission division started in 2001 by licensing certain of its patented image management
`technology to online auction and online classified advertising platforms to drive commercial transactions,
`including eBay and Homestore. IPIX AdMission expanded its operations significantly during the next few
`years to support the strong growth from eBay, its largest customer. IPIX AdMission’s technology was a key
`driver behind the increased adoption of enhanced photo ads within eBay, growing from 8% of all ads when
`services began for eBay to over 80% by late 2003, producing material revenue for both parties.
`Starting in 2003, in an effort to diversify its revenue base, IPIX AdMission began targeting publishers of
`newspaper classifieds as new technology licensing opportunities. IPIX AdMission secured several flagship
`online newspaper classifieds websites, including Recycler.com, Cars.com, Seattle Times and Atlanta Journal
`Constitution. IPIX AdMission also integrated its technology into four newspaper system vendor platforms to
`facilitate future licensing agreements with newspapers and to prevent the incumbent system vendors from
`blocking channel access to AdMission.
`
`During 2003, IPIX AdMission amended its licensing agreement with eBay and received

`The core value and significant scale of the service offered to eBay had grown to make it impractical to
`continue as an outsourced solution, and the parties agreed to a licensing and transition agreement completed
`November 2003. IPIX AdMission dramatically reduced its operations staff in Q4 2003 but continued to
`expand its image management platform into a full suite of online ad creation and display tools for directional
`ad publishers.
`Throughout 2004, AdMission Management has continued its focus on technology licensing opportunities in
`the newspaper classifieds market, securing the majority of industry publishing groups, including Knight-
`Ridder, Tribune Corporation, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, New York Times and
`several smaller publishers. In aggregate, these publishers represent dozens of individual newspapers, and
`Management is in the process of rolling out services with these corporate-owned entities. Management has
`also secured additional relationships with newspaper system vendors, who represent dozens of additional
`integration opportunities.
`During 2004, Management also expanded its market focus to include online yellow pages publishers. It
`launched its first customer; UK’s Yell.com, in April 2004 and continues to move toward contract stage with
`several of the U.S. yellow pages publishing market leaders.

`AdMission Overview
`IPIX AdMission offers a hosted media platform, called “AdMission”, that provides local advertisers with the
`means to create rich, visual ads showcasing their businesses, products and services, resulting in more
`relevant searches for consumers and qualified leads for advertisers.
`
`IPIX AdMission licenses its AdMission Platform to directional ad publishers such as newspaper classifieds
`and yellow pages, who are looking to compete effectively against new online competitors (e.g. eBay and
`Google) by offering their users, both advertisers and consumers, a better user experience. Publishers have
`also found AdMission to be a powerful competitive advantage as it provides advertisers with one of the most
`effective online marketing solutions available anywhere.

`
`Core Technology: AdMission Media Platform
`The AdMission Media Platform is one of the most successful technologies implemented on a large scale for
`managing third-party media across the Internet. It has enabled millions of advertisers and consumers to
`successfully conclude commercial transactions far more effectively by better communicating the value of
`advertised goods and services through accompanying media.
`
`One of the greatest barriers to online ad publishing is the confusion and complexity associated with
`collecting and preparing visual media, which comes in a variety of formats, sizes and dimensions from a
`disparate group of users and platforms. Rich-media transactions are orders of magnitude larger than typical
`text-based transactions, making it more difficult for publishers to simply adapt their existing platforms to
`build rich-media solutions on their own.
`
`AdMission removes this complexity and sets the standard for ease of use. As a result, publishers offering
`AdMission begin generating new revenue steams with margins in excess of 70% and obtain high-end
`customer acceptance and use.

`AdMission Classifieds
`AdMission Classifieds is a hosted solution for newspaper publishers to generate new revenue by enabling
`their advertisers to include photos of their items both online and in print ads.
`
`Newspapers up sell AdMission photo ads to advertisers via their website or their existing call centers. After
`purchase, advertisers are directed to a page on the publisher’s website, where they are guided through three
`simple steps to submit their photos and provide expanded descriptions for online publication.
`
`Implementation of the service is quick and easy because it is completely hosted and managed by AdMission,
`while appearing directly within the publisher’s website. Publishers may choose to integrate the product
`directly or go through a publishing system vendor who has already integrated AdMission with their classified
`software application.
`
`Consumers are presented with small photos and a camera icon in the printed ads, which directs them online
`to see more photos. They are met online with a slideshow full of large color photos of the items for sale.
`Many print readers are introduced to the newspaper’s website for the first time through this process, and end
`up discovering the value of using the online and print media together.
`
`AdMission Classifieds is sold on a transaction-based model of shared risk and reward. Pricing is based on
`“photo ad” bundles of 1-, 3-, 5- and 20-image packages with discounts for volume commitments and
`monthly minimums for individual papers.
