TDLI.com Limited. 

    In July 1998, we entered into a joint venture agreement with TDLI.com Limited, a subsidiary of Thomson 

Directories Limited to form TDL InfoSpace to replicate our content, community and consumer services in Europe. TDL InfoSpace launched 

content services in the United Kingdom in the third quarter of 1998. Under the Web site services agreement, Thomson provides its directory 

information to TDL InfoSpace and sells Internet yellow pages advertising for the joint venture through its local sales forces. We also license 

our technology and provide hosting services to TDL InfoSpace. Thomson and we each purchased a 50% interest in TDL InfoSpace and are 

required to provide reasonable working capital to TDL InfoSpace. As of December 31, 1999, we had contributed $496,000 to the joint venture. 

We accounted for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method. For the year ended December 31, 1999, we recorded a loss from 

the joint venture of $12,000. On August 31, 2000, we acquired TDLI.com Limited, a privately held company based in Hampshire, England that 

in turn holds approximately fifty percent of TDL InfoSpace (Europe) Limited, a joint venture originally formed by InfoSpace and Thomson 

Directories Limited in July 1998 to replicate InfoSpace's services in Europe. We acquired TDLI.com for purchase consideration of 3,420,308
