INFOSPACE, INC. 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 

Within the Locus Dialogue technology there are two main product lines, Liaison and SpeechPortal, both of which run on the SoftDialogue 

platform (core speech engine). Liaison addresses the needs of enterprises that require speech  enabled communication solutions. SpeechPortal 

enables businesses and consumers to use the Internet via telephone or voice, without requiring an Internet enabled device. The Company plans 

to offer a co branded version of SpeechPortal to the Company's wireless carriers and device manufacturer customers. As of the date of 

acquisition, the Company estimated that Liaison was 80% complete. The percentage completed pre acquisition was based primarily on the 

evaluation of three major factors: time based data, cost based data, and complexity based data.  

The expected life of the modules being developed was assumed to be five years, after which substantial modification and enhancement 

would be required for the technology to remain competitive.  

The Company's revenue assumptions were based on the estimated growth potential of the industry and estimated market acceptance of the 

Locus Dialogue technology. The Company's expense assumptions included cost of revenue of 20% of revenue, sales, general and 

administrative of 35% of revenue, and product development of 2% of revenue. However, cost of revenues, sales, general and administrative 

and product development expenses may vary, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues.  

While the Company believes that the assumptions discussed above were made in good faith and were reasonable when made, the 

assumptions the Company made may prove to be inaccurate, and there can be no assurance that the Company will realize the revenue, gross 

profit, growth rates, expense levels or other variables set forth in such assumptions.  

As discussed in Note 5, the Company sold the Liaison assets of Locus Dialogue in July 2001 and recorded an impairment charge of $64.2 

million to adjust the Liaison core technology and associated goodwill to its estimated fair value. The remaining personnel and assets of Locus 

Dialogue including the voice application, SpeechPortal and SoftDialogue, are now operated under the name of InfoSpace Speech Solutions.
