LOOKSMART, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

LookSmart, Ltd. (LookSmart or the Company) is a search advertising network solutions company that provides
relevant solutions for search advertisers and publishers. LookSmart was organized in 1996 and is incorporated in the State of Delaware.

LookSmart operates in a large online search advertising ecosystem serving ads that target user queries on partner sites. The Company operates in the
middle of this ecosystem, acquiring search queries from a variety of sources and matching them with the keywords of its search advertising customers. The Companys largest category of customers has been intermediaries, the majority of which
purchase clicks to sell into the affiliate networks of the large search engine providers. Another category of customers are direct advertisers and their agencies, some of whom want conversions or sales from the clicks, while others want unique page
views. The last category of customers is self-service advertisers that sign-up online and pay by credit card.

The Company offers search
advertising customers targeted search via a monitored search advertising distribution network using the Companys AdCenter platform technology. The Companys search advertising network includes publishers and search advertising
customers, including intermediaries and direct advertising customers and their agencies as well as self-service customers in the United States and certain other countries. The Companys application programming interface (API) allows
search advertising customers and their advertising agencies to connect any type of marketing or reporting software with minimal effort, for easier access, management, and optimization of search advertising campaigns.

The Company also offers publishers licensed private-label search advertiser network solutions based on its AdCenter platform technology (Publisher
Solutions). Publisher Solutions consist of hosted auction-based ad serving with an ad backfill capability that allows publishers and portals to manage their advertiser relationships, distribution channels and accounts.

In the first quarter of 2008, the Companys management made the decision to exit its remaining consumer products activities and to sell or otherwise
dispose of the remaining consumer assets. The results of operations of consumer product activities, including related gains, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated
Statements of Operations (see Note 2). At March 31, 2011, the Company continues to own the Wisenut search engine technology, intellectual property rights in such technology, and other assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2011, and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
reflect all adjustments that are normal and recurring in nature and, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair representation of the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2011 and the results of operations for the
periods shown. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010 (Annual Report). The Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2011 is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue, expenses, and contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. The Company bases its
estimates on various factors and information which may include, but are not limited to, history and prior experience, experience of other



6

enterprises in the same industry, new related events, and current economic conditions and information from third party professionals that is believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In managements opinion, all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the financial statements for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications
did not change the previously reported net loss, net change in cash and cash equivalents or stockholders equity.

Investments

The Company invests its excess cash primarily in debt instruments of high-quality corporate and government issuers. All highly liquid
instruments with maturities at the date of purchase greater than ninety days are considered investments. All instruments with maturities greater than one year from the balance sheet date are considered long-term investments unless management intends
to liquidate such securities in the current operating cycle. Such securities are classified as short-term investments. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value.

Changes in the value of these investments are primarily related to changes in interest rates and are considered to be temporary in nature. Except for
declines in fair value that are not considered temporary, net unrealized gains or losses on these investments are reported as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Equity. The
Company recognizes realized gains and losses upon sale of investments using the specific identification method.

Fair Value of Financial
Instruments

The Companys estimate of fair value for assets and liabilities is based on a framework that establishes a hierarchy of
the inputs used in valuation and gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The disclosure of fair value estimates is based on whether the significant
inputs into the valuation are observable. In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that
reflect our significant market assumptions. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:



|         |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|-------- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 1: |  | Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access.                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|         | 
|Level 2: |  | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the
significant inputs are observable (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, default rates, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.
|         | 
|Level 3: |  | Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would
use.                                                                                                                                          

Revenue Recognition

Online search advertising revenue is primarily composed of per transaction fees that the Company charges customers. Revenue also includes revenue share from licensing of private-labeled versions of the
Companys AdCenter Platform.

Revenues associated with online advertising products, including Advertiser Networks, are generally
recognized once collectability is established, delivery of services has occurred, all performance obligations have been satisfied, and no refund obligations exist that management is aware of. The Company pays distribution network partners based on
clicks on the advertisers ad that are displayed on the websites of these distribution network partners. These payments are called traffic acquisition costs (TAC) and are included in cost of revenue. The revenue derived from these
arrangements that involve traffic supplied by distribution network partners is reported gross of the payment to the distribution network partners. This revenue is reported gross due to the fact that the Company is the primary obligor to the
advertisers who are the customers of the advertising service.

The Company also enters into agreements to provide private-labeled versions of
its AdCenter platform technology. These license arrangements may include some or all of the following elements: revenue-sharing based on the publishers customers monthly revenue generated through the AdCenter application; upfront fees;
monthly minimum fees; and other license fees. The Company recognizes upfront fees over the term of the arrangement or the expected period of performance, other license fees over the term of the license, and revenue-sharing portions over the period
in which such revenue is earned. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably
assured.

##### Table of Contents

The Company provides a provision against revenue for estimated reductions resulting from billing adjustments
and customer refunds. The amounts of these provisions are evaluated periodically based upon customer experience and historical trends. The allowance included in trade accounts receivable, net is $0.2 million at March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010.

Deferred revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of performance in underlying agreements. Customer
deposits are recorded when customers make prepayments for online advertising.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from customers failing to make required payments. This valuation
allowance is reviewed on a periodic basis to determine whether a provision or reversal is required. The review is based on factors including the application of historical collection rates to current receivables and economic conditions. The Company
will record an increase or reduction of its allowance for doubtful accounts if collection rates or economic conditions are more or less favorable than it anticipated. Additional allowances for doubtful accounts may be required if there is
deterioration in past due balances, if economic conditions are less favorable than the Company anticipated or for customer-specific circumstances, such as bankruptcy. The allowance for doubtful accounts included in trade accounts receivable, net is
$0.2 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Bad debt allowance included in sales and marketing expense was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Concentrations, Credit Risk and Credit Risk Evaluation

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company placed its cash equivalents and investments primarily through one
financial institution, City National Bank (CNB), and mitigated the concentration of credit risk by placing percentage limits on the maximum portion of the investment portfolio which may be invested in any one investment instrument. These
amounts exceed federally insured limits at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company has not experienced any credit losses on these cash equivalents and investment accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant
credit risk on these funds. The fair value of these accounts is subject to fluctuation based on market prices.

Credit Risk, Customer and
Vendor Evaluation

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from sales to customers. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for estimated credit losses. The Company applies judgment as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables based primarily on managements evaluation of the customers
financial condition and past collection history and records a specific allowance. In addition, the Company records an allowance based on the length of time the receivables are past due. Historically, such losses have been within managements
expectations.

One customer accounted for 34% and 21% of gross accounts receivable at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively.

Revenue Concentrations

The following table reflects revenue from customers located in countries or regions that accounted for more than 10% of net revenue:

Property and Equipment

Property
and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:



|                       |  |             
|---------------------- |  | ------------
|Computer equipment     |  | 3 to 4 years
|Furniture and fixtures |  | 5 to 7 years
|Software               |  | 2 to 3 years

Leasehold improvements are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.

Internal Use Software
Development Costs

The Company capitalizes external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing and obtaining
internal-use computer software and the payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to, developing the internal-use computer software.

Management exercises judgment in determining when costs related to a project may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs, and in determining the amortization period for the
capitalized costs, which is generally 3 years. The Company expects to continue to invest in internally developed software and to capitalize such costs.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets held or used
in operations, including property and equipment and capitalized software development costs, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Subject assets are
tested for impairment at the lowest level of operations that generate cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows from those of other groups of asset and liabilities. Management has determined that the equity of its single reporting
unit is the lowest level of operation at which independent cash flows can be identified. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less
than its carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to
dispose.

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, management believes long-lived assets were not
impaired.

Traffic Acquisition Costs

The Company enters into agreements of varying durations with its distribution network partners that display the Companys listings ads on their sites in return for a percentage of the
revenue-per-click that the Company receives when the ads are clicked on those partners sites.

The Company also enters into agreements
of varying durations with third party affiliates. These affiliate agreements provide for variable payments based on a percentage of the Companys revenue or based on a certain metric, such as number of searches or paid clicks.

The Company records TAC expenses as cost of revenue and TAC are expensed based on the volume of the underlying activity or revenue, multiplied by the
agreed-upon price or rate.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes share-based compensation costs for all share-based payment transactions with employees, including grants of employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, over the requisite service period based on their relative fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date using the Black-Scholes method. The value of the portion of the
award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense in the Companys Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations over the requisite service periods. Share-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010, were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which was related to stock grants, options and employee stock purchases.

Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. The forfeiture rate is determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, based
on historical rates.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and
tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be
realized. The Company records liabilities, where appropriate, for all uncertain income tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax expense.

Comprehensive Gain

Other
comprehensive gain as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, consists of unrealized gains on marketable securities categorized as available-for-sale.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated using
the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.

Segment Information

The Company operates in a single segment, search advertising, and conducts business worldwide. While the Company operates under one operating segment,
management reviews revenue under two product offeringsAdvertiser Networks and Publisher Solutions.

As of March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, all of the Companys accounts receivable, intangible assets and deferred revenue related to the online advertising segment. All long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Realized gains and realized losses were not significant for either of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no significant unrealized losses on investments. The cost of all securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The contractual maturities of cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were less than one year. The
contractual maturity of the long term investments is 1.55 years as of March 31, 2011 (see Note 11).

The Company typically invests in
highly-rated securities, and its policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews such factors as the length of time and extent to which
fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and the Companys intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investments amortized
cost basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges on outstanding investments. As of March 31, 2011, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be
other-than-temporarily impaired.

Capital Lease Obligations

City National Bank

In April 2007, the Company entered into a master equipment lease
agreement with CNB for an original amount of up to $5.0 million for the purchase of computer equipment. The lease expired on April 30, 2010, at which time the Company had drawn down approximately $4.9 million of the available lease line of
credit. Interest on the capital leases was calculated using interest rates ranging from 4.32% to 7.95% per annum. Effective as of September 30, 2009, the master equipment lease agreement includes two financial covenants, with which the
Company was in compliance as of March 31, 2011.

The agreements with CNB, consisting of an outstanding standby letter of credit
(SBLC) and a master equipment lease agreement, contain cross-default provisions, whereby a default under one is deemed a default for the other, and are secured by a general lien on all assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, the Company was not in default on either agreement with CNB (see Note 9).

Operating Lease

In August 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease office space for its headquarters in San Francisco, California, under an operating lease that commenced in November 2009 and expires on
December 30, 2014. In addition to scheduled base rent payments, the Company will also be responsible for varying amounts of operating and property tax expenses.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31 2010, the Company has an
outstanding SBLC related to the security of a building lease for $0.3 million. The SBLC contains two financial covenants, with which the Company was in compliance as of March 31, 2011.

Purchase Obligations

In October 2009, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement and related Service Level Agreement for IT data center services for a two year term, expiring January 2012. The contractual
obligations under the agreement include recurring charges of $0.9 million each year.

Guarantees and Indemnities

During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain guarantees, indemnities and commitments under which it may be required to make
payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include intellectual property and other indemnities to the Companys customers and distribution network partners in connection with the sales of its products, and indemnities to
various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease.

Officer and Director
Indemnification

The Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the
officer or director is, or was, serving, at the Companys request, in such capacity, to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make
under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company maintains directors and officers insurance coverage that may contribute, up to certain limits, a portion of any future amounts paid, for indemnification of directors and
officers. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is minimal. Historically, the Company has not incurred any losses or recorded any liabilities related to
performance under these types of indemnities.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved, from time to time, in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with
certainty, the Company does not expect resolution of these matters to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position unless stated otherwise. However, an unfavorable resolution of a matter
could, depending on its amount and timing, materially affect its results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a future period. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs,
diversion of management resources and other factors.

Lanes Gifts and Collectibles, L.L.C., v. Yahoo! Inc

On March 14, 2005, the Company was served with the second amended complaint in a class action lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Miller County,
Arkansas. The complaint named eleven search engines and web publishers as defendants, including the Company, and alleged breach of contract, restitution/unjust enrichment/money had and received, and civil conspiracy claims in connection with
contracts allegedly entered into with plaintiffs for Internet pay-per-click advertising. The named plaintiffs on the second amended complaint were Lanes Gifts and Collectibles, L.L.C., U.S. Citizens for Fair Credit Card Terms, Inc., Savings 4
Merchants, Inc., and Max Caulfield d/b/a Caulfield Investigations.

On July 26, 2006, the Court approved a class settlement among
plaintiffs, defendant Google, Inc., and certain defendants who display Google advertisements on their networks (the Google Settlement). The Google Settlement purports to release Google of all claims and also purports to release certain
defendants, including the Company, for any claims associated with the display of Google advertisements on their networks. On February 29, 2008, the court approved a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement (the Settlement Agreement) to
settle the matter in its entirety. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company established a Settlement Fund in the amount of approximately $2.5 million allocated as follows: (a) a Class Member Fund of approximately $2.0 million in
advertising credits, (b) the Fees Award to Class Counsel of approximately $0.6 million, and (c) an Incentive Award to the three Class Representatives of an immaterial amount that was paid. On April 7, 2008, the Company paid
approximately $0.6 million of legal fees to the plaintiffs counsel representing the Fees Award to Class Counsel. On April 29, 2008, the Company began to issue advertising credits to the Class Members who filed timely claims. The deadline
for submitting claims for advertising credits expired on April 29, 2009. The Company recorded an estimate in accrued liabilities of the amount of the loss on settlement which management determined was probable and estimable during the year
ended December 31, 2007. During 2007, the Company recovered settlement proceeds from its insurance carrier which exceeded the recorded estimate of the amount of loss on settlement. Due to the uncertainty relating to the ultimate settlement
amount, the excess settlement proceeds remain as an accrued liability at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 on the Companys Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Share-Based Compensation

Stock Option Plans

In December 1997, the Company approved the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the Plan). In October 2000, the Company acquired Zeal Media, Inc. and
assumed all the stock options outstanding under the 1999 Zeal Media, Inc. Stock Plan (the Zeal Plan). In April 2002, the Company acquired Wisenut, Inc. and assumed all the stock options outstanding under the Wisenut, Inc. 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan (the Wisenut Plan). On June 19, 2007, the stockholders approved the LookSmart 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2007 Plan). Under the 2007 Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options, nonqualified

The Companys Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plans principally include
at-the-money options and fully vested restricted stock. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plans was approximately 4.4 million and 4.5 million shares of common stock at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively. There were 1.7 million shares available to be granted under the Plans at March 31, 2011.

The aggregate intrinsic values in the table above represent the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the
market price of the Companys stock on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holder had all option holders exercised their
options at year-end. The intrinsic value amount changes with changes in the fair market value of the Companys stock.

Stock Awards

The Company did not issue restricted stock during the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company issued 13 thousand shares, of fully vested
restricted stock, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.03 per share under the Plans. The Company recorded share-based compensation for stock awards of $13 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the
1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 1999 ESPP), which was approved by the shareholders in July 1999, the Company was authorized to issue up to 520 thousand shares of Common Stock to Employees of the Company. Under the 1999 ESPP,
substantially all employees could purchase the Companys common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning of the offering period or at the end of each applicable
purchase period. An offering period was 24 months, composed of four six-month purchase periods. ESPP contributions were limited to a maximum of 15 percent of an employees eligible compensation, and ESPP participants were limited to
purchasing a maximum of 500 shares per purchase period. ESPP share-based compensation expense under the 1999 ESPP was not significant for the year ended December 31, 2009. As of June 8, 2009, when the 1999 ESPP expired, 490 thousand
shares had been issued under the 1999 Plan.

In July 2009, the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2009 ESPP) was approved by
the shareholders. Under the 2009 ESPP, the Company is authorized to issue up to 500 thousand shares of Common Stock to employees of the Company. Under the 2009 ESPP, substantially all employees may purchase the Companys common stock
through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning of the offering period or at the end of each applicable purchase period. Each offering period is 6 months and consists of one
purchase period. ESPP contributions are limited to a maximum of 15 percent of an employees eligible compensation, and ESPP participants are limited to purchasing a maximum of 5,000 shares per purchase period. Share-based compensation expense
under the 2010 ESPP was not significant for three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. As of March 31, 2011, 61 thousand shares have been issued under the 2009 ESPP Plan.

Share-Based Compensation Valuation Assumptions

The fair value of each stock option grant
is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the weighted average grant date fair value per share for employee stock options
were as follows:

As share-based compensation expense
recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent
periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Investments

For investments that have quoted market prices in active markets, the Company uses the quoted market prices as fair value and includes these prices in the amounts disclosed in Level 1 of the hierarchy.
The Company receives the quoted market prices from a third party, nationally recognized pricing service (pricing service). When quoted market prices are unavailable, the Company utilizes a pricing service to determine a single estimate
of fair value, which is mainly for its fixed maturity investments. The fair value estimates provided from this pricing service are included in the amount disclosed in Level 2 of the hierarchy. The Company bases all of its estimates of fair value for
assets on the bid price as it represents what a third party market participant would be willing to pay in an arms length transaction.

The Company validates the prices received from the pricing service using various methods including, applicability of Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or other national government insurance or guarantees, comparison of proceeds received on individual investments subsequent to reporting date, prices received from publicly available sources, and review of transaction volume data to
confirm the presence of active markets. The Company does not adjust the prices received from the pricing service unless such prices are determined to be inconsistent. At March 31 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not adjust
prices received from the pricing service.

Trade accounts receivable, net: The carrying value reported in the Unaudited Consolidated
Balance Sheets is net of allowances for doubtful accounts and returns which estimate customer non-performance risk.

Trade accounts payable
and accrued liabilities: The carrying value reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items approximates their fair value, which is the likely amount which the liability with short settlement periods would be transferred to
a market participant with a similar credit standing as the Company.

12. Related Party Transactions

In each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, Dr. Jean-Yves Dexmier was paid fees totaling $0.1 million, in connection with his
services as the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board.

statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We use words such as believes, intends,
expects, anticipates, plans, may, will and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Discussions containing forward-looking statements may be found in the material set
forth under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in other sections of this report. All forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, projections, expectations or
estimates concerning our business, including demand for our products and services, mix of revenue sources, ability to control and/or reduce operating expenses, anticipated gross margins and operating results, cost savings, product development
efforts, general outlook of our business and industry, future profits or losses, competitive position, share-based compensation, and adequate liquidity to fund our operations and meet our other cash requirements, are inherently uncertain as they are
based on our expectations and assumptions concerning future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including but not limited to, the possibility that we may fail to maintain or grow our listings advertiser base and/or distribution
network, that existing and potential distribution partners may opt to work with, or favor the products of, competitors if our competitors offer more favorable products or pricing terms, that we may be unable to grow our online search advertising
revenue and/or find alternative sources of revenue, that we may be unable to attain or maintain customer acceptance of our publisher solutions products, that changes in the distribution network composition may lead to decreases in query volumes,
that we may be unable to maintain or improve our query volume, match rate, number of paid clicks, average revenue per click, conversion rate or other ad network metrics, that we may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability, that we may be
unable to retain our existing credit facilities or obtain new credit facilities, that we may be unable to attract and retain key personnel, that we may have unexpected increases in costs and expenses, or that one or more of the other risks described
below in the section entitled Risk Factors and elsewhere in this report may occur.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical
accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, there had been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Business Overview

LookSmart is a
search advertising network solutions company that provides relevant solutions for search advertising customers. LookSmart was organized in 1996 and is incorporated in the State of Delaware.

LookSmart operates in a large online search advertising ecosystem serving ads that target user queries on partner sites. We operate in the middle of this ecosystem, acquiring search queries from a variety
of sources and matching them with the keywords of our search advertising customers. Our largest category of customers has been intermediaries, the majority of which purchase clicks to sell into the affiliate networks of the large search engine
providers. Another category of customers are direct advertisers and their agencies whose objective is to obtain conversions or sales from the clicks, while others want unique page views. The last category of customers is self-service advertisers
that sign-up online and pay by credit card.

LookSmart offers search advertising customers targeted search via a monitored search advertising
distribution network using the Companys AdCenter platform technology. The Companys search advertising network includes publishers and search advertising customers, including intermediaries and direct advertising customers and
their agencies as well as self-service customers in the United States and certain other countries. The Companys application programming interface (API) allows search advertising customers and their advertising agencies to connect
any type of marketing or reporting software with minimal effort, for easier access, management, and optimization of search advertising campaigns.

LookSmart also offers publishers licensed private-label search advertiser network solutions based on its AdCenter platform technology (Publisher Solutions). Publisher Solutions consist of
hosted auction-based ad serving with an ad backfill capability that allows publishers and portals to manage their advertiser relationships, distribution channels and accounts.

In the first quarter of 2008, management made the decision to exit its remaining consumer products activities and to sell or otherwise dispose of the remaining consumer assets. The results of operations
of consumer product activities, including related gains, have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations (see Note 2). At March 31, 2011, the Company
continues to own the Wisenut search engine technology, intellectual property rights in such technology, and other assets.

The decrease in Advertising Networks revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the
same period in 2010 is attributed to a decline in paid clicks partially offset by an increase in the average revenue-per-click (RPC). Total paid clicks decreased 40% to 146 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011,
compared to 244 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the same period, average RPC increased 10%, from $0.051 to $0.056, compared to the same period in the prior year, while RPC decreased 14% in the first quarter of
2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. RPC and paid click changes were the result of a decrease in revenue from our intermediaries in the comparable periods. Going forward, we will continue to attempt to increase our revenue primarily through
performance based pricing models targeting our direct advertising customers and their agencies.

The decrease in Publisher Solutions revenue
for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 is attributed to reduced revenue from IAC Search and Media, Inc. (IAC). We did not record any Publisher Solutions revenue from IAC during the first
quarter of 2011 compared to $0.6 million, or 74% of Publisher Solutions revenue, during the first quarter of 2010.

Cost of Revenue and
Gross Margin

Cost of revenue, consisting of TAC, costs paid to our distribution network partners, connectivity costs, hosting
expenses, commissions paid to advertising agencies, and credit card fees were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

Our TAC decrease as a percentage of associated revenue in 2011 is attributed to optimization of bids/prices paid
for different sources of traffic and keywords.

Our other costs of revenue, which consists primarily of co-location costs and credit card
processing fees, decreased due to the significant duplicate costs incurred during the first half of 2010 associated with the move to a new co-location facility.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31,
2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 decreased $0.3 million, or $1.2 million excluding restructuring charges. The decrease is primarily due to lower headcount resulting from a reduction in workforce. For the remainder of 2011, planned
headcount increases in sales, product development and account management may result in comparatively higher operating expenses, however, expenses will continue to be closely evaluated relative to operating margin.

Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, product development and technical operations, general and administrative, and restructuring charges
for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010; and were as follows (in thousands):

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, commissions, share-based compensation and other costs of employment for our sales force, sales administration and customer service staff and marketing
personnel, overhead, facilities, allocation of depreciation and the provision for, and reductions of, the allowance for doubtful trade receivables. Sales and marketing expenses also include the costs of advertising, trade shows, public relations
activities and various other activities supporting our customer acquisition efforts.

The reduction in sales and marketing expenses for the
first quarter of 2011 is primarily due to lower compensation related expense associated with lower headcount, and a reduction in marketing expenses.

Product Development and Technical Operations

Product development and technical operations
expense includes all costs related to the continued operations, development and enhancement of our core technology product, the AdCenter platform. The AdCenter is used to operate both our own Advertiser Network and other publishers client
networks, and is licensed to publishers to operate their own network. These costs include salaries and associated costs of employment, including share-based compensation, overhead, and facilities. Costs related to the development of software for
internal use in the business, including salaries and associated costs of employment are capitalized after certain milestones have been achieved and amortized over a three year period once the project is placed in service. Software licensing and
computer equipment depreciation related to supporting product development and technical operations functions are also included in product development and technical operations expense.

Capitalized software development costs include the costs to develop software for internal use, excluding costs associated with research, training and testing.

The reduction in product development and technical operations expense, net of capitalized software development costs for the
first quarter of 2011 is primarily due to lower compensation related expense associated with lower headcount, which was partially offset by increased depreciation expense and lower capitalized software development.

General and Administrative

General and
administrative expenses include costs of executive management, human resources, finance, facilities, and desktop support personnel. These costs include salaries and associated costs of employment, including share-based compensation, overhead,
facilities and allocation of depreciation. General and administrative expenses also include legal, insurance, tax and accounting, consulting and professional services fees.

The reduction in general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2011 is due to lower compensation-related expense associated with lower headcount, partially offset by increased travel costs.

Restructuring Charges

We reduced staff by 20 employees on January 12, 2011 and recorded a $0.9 million restructuring charge in the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The
reduction represented a general realignment of the business and it is managements opinion that there has been no detrimental effect on operations. Reductions by functional area were sales and marketing 2, product development and technical
operations 3, general and administrative 9, analytics 2 and customer support 4. The result was lower compensation-related expenses in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. After the staff reduction, full time employees
totaled 35.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income, which includes income from our cash, cash equivalents and investments, increased an insignificant amount in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the three months ended
March 31, 2010. This increase was driven primarily by a shift in the portfolio to longer-term investments and average yields earned during the period.

Interest expense, primarily consisting of interest paid on capital leases, decreased an insignificant amount during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in capital lease obligations.

Income Tax Expense

Due to our utilizable net operating losses and other tax affects, our income tax expense primarily consists of minimum state taxes.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

In January 2007, the Company
completed the sale of Net Nanny to Content Watch, Inc. (Content Watch). The sale proceeds were comprised of contingent purchase consideration that may be realized at future dates based on the amount of revenue received by Content Watch.
The Company recorded contingent purchase consideration of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Under the terms of the Content Watch agreement, the contingent purchase consideration ended in 2010. Contingent purchase
consideration has been classified as gain on disposal.

During 2008, we sold the Wisenut trademark and related domain names. As of
March 31, 2011 we continue to own the Wisenut search engine technology and its intellectual property rights in such technology and other assets.

At March 31, 2011, we had $25.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable
investments. Cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable investments are comprised of highly liquid debt instruments of the U.S. government, commercial paper, time deposits, money market mutual funds and U.S. corporate securities. We
actively monitor the depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents and the institutions of whose debt instruments we hold. Our investment policy, which is reviewed annually by our Board of Directors, primarily emphasizes safety of
principal while secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. We can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. These balances may exceed the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. While we monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or
could be subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. See Note 3 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, Cash and Available for Sale Securities, which describes further the composition of our cash, cash
equivalents and short- and long-term investments.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-and-long-term investments decreased $1.5 million primarily
due to the loss from continuing operations, the use of capital to acquire equipment, increased accounts receivable and decreased accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

##### Table of Contents

Our primary source of liquidity is our cash, cash equivalents, short-and long-term investments, and cash
flow from operations. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments and cash from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our current anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months, if not
longer. Our liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our services beyond the current quarter, and changes in customer buying behavior. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively affected if we are in default under our
credit facilities and are required to pay the lenders cash in an amount equal to the capital lease balance, or are required to identify restricted cash equal to the capital lease balance, plus an outstanding standby letter of credit. Also, if the
banking system or the financial markets continue to remain volatile, our investment portfolio may be impacted and the values and liquidity of our investments could be adversely affected. In addition, we may seek to raise additional capital through
public or private debt or equity financings in order to fund our operations and capital expenditures, take advantage of favorable business opportunities, develop and upgrade our technology infrastructure, develop new product and service offerings,
take advantage of favorable conditions in capital markets or respond to competitive pressures. In addition, unanticipated developments in the short term requiring cash payments, including the acquisition of businesses with negative cash flows, may
necessitate additional financing. We cannot be assured that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we issue additional equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders may experience
substantial dilution.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of our net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, restructuring charge,
share-based compensation expense, gains on sale of assets, as well as the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. Cash used in operations in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.9 million and consisted of a net loss
of $0.8 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $0.8 million and cash used by working capital and other activities of $0.9 million. Adjustments for non-cash items primarily consisted of $0.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense on
property and equipment and internally developed software. In addition, changes in working capital activities primarily consisted of a net increase of $0.4 million in accounts receivable, a $0.3 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, and a $0.2 million increase in prepaid expense and other current assets. The increase in account receivable is primarily attributed to extended payment terms for a large customer. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
was primarily due to reduced TAC and operating expenses.

Cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2010
consisted of our net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, gains on sale of assets, as well as the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. Cash used in
operations in the first quarter of 2010 was $1.3 million and consisted of a net loss of $0.5 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $0.8 million and cash used by working capital and other activities of $1.6 million. Adjustments for non-cash
items primarily consisted of $0.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment and internally developed software, $0.2 million of share-based compensation expense and $0.1 million of deferred rent, partially offset by a
$0.1 million gain on sale of assets. In addition, changes in working capital activities primarily consisted of a net increase of $1.1 million in accounts receivable and a $0.5 million decrease in accounts payable. The increase in account receivable
is primarily attributed to an increase in revenue from invoiced customers and one customer paying just before the end of the fourth quarter of 2009, whereas this same customer paid shortly after the end of the first quarter of 2010.

Investing Activities

Cash used in
investing activities in the first quarter of 2011 of $2.7 million was primarily attributed to $2.4 million net purchase of investments. Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2011 consisted of $0.3 million for equipment acquired during the
quarter and an investment of $0.1 million in internally developed software related to our AdCenter platform technology.

Cash used in
investing activities in the first quarter of 2010 of $1.1 million was primarily attributed to $1.5 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by net proceeds from investments of $0.3 million. Our first quarter of 2010 capital expenditures
consisted of $0.7 million for equipment received in 2009, for which a liability was accrued in 2009, $0.6 million for equipment acquired during the quarter, and an investment of $0.2 million in internally developed software related to our core
service offering. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, $0.2 million of computer equipment was acquired and financed with capital leases.

Financing Activities

Cash used by financing activities primarily consisted of $0.3
million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, attributed to scheduled lease payments.

Credit Arrangements

We have an outstanding standby letter of credit (SBLC) issued by City National Bank (CNB) of approximately $0.3 million at March 31, 2011, related to security of a building
lease.

On April 30, 2010, our master equipment lease agreement with CNB of $5.0 million expired. As of April 30, 2010, we had drawn
down approximately $4.9 million of the available lease line of credit.

Our agreements with CNB, consisting of the SBLC and master equipment
lease agreement, contain cross-default provisions whereby a default under one is deemed a default for the other, and are secured by a general lien on all assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2011, we are in compliance with both agreements
with CNB.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4), investments in special-purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. Additionally, we are not a
party to any derivative contracts or synthetic leases.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

In comparison with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we believe that there have been no significant changes in
contractual obligations or commercial commitments outside the ordinary course of business, during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market
risk.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) for our Company. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions (SEC) rules and Form 10-Q, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are
resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within a Company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that these controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
