In addition to historical information, this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
results stated, implied, or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations.” You should carefully review these factors as well as the risks
described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed in 2007. When used in this report, the words
“will”, “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “targets,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue
reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements
or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document. Viewpoint Corporation (“Viewpoint” or the “Company”) is an internet marketing technology company that focuses on using its technical capabilities to help companies effectively market their products
and services on the internet. Viewpoint provides a full suite of digital products, services and consulting for internet marketers. Viewpoint employs its visualization technology to drive powerful customer-
facing marketing tools that enable companies to showcase complex products in a simple way, and allows for user interaction. In addition, Viewpoint builds digital assets that serve as productivity and sales
tools for automotive, heavy industry, technology and other vertical markets. The basis of Viewpoint’s products is its graphical platform’s capabilities to provide consumers, advertisers, and website publishers
an enhanced and interactive internet experience. Since 2003, we have extended the historical imaging capabilities of our proprietary graphics technology to develop an advertising delivery system that specializes in deploying video and rich media
advertising, and a search business that provides internet consumers a flexible graphical searching experience. Our revenues in these product areas are supplemented by our in-house services team which
builds sophisticated content that is used by customers in each revenue stream. All of our three product segments have their roots in our core software offering, the Viewpoint Media Player (“VMP”). The VMP is a free software product installed by internet consumers on their
computers to view specialized digital content displayed by websites, more fully explained in the sections below. We have been distributing the VMP since 2000 and estimate that it has been installed on more
than 120 million computers in the United States. We base this estimate on independent surveys commissioned by us and by other industry participants, as well as information we have received from our
publishing clients who report to us the frequency with which visitors to their sites have the VMP installed before arriving at their sites. The VMP has an “automatic update” feature that enables new functions and features to be easily and efficiently added. Whenever an internet consumer visits a website deploying content that is built
using the Viewpoint platform, or encounters online advertising content delivered by our ad-delivery product, the VMP is activated. When the VMP is activated it communicates with our servers to check for
recent improvements and automatically updates itself when necessary. This activation provides a unique opportunity for us to communicate with internet consumers and to offer them the latest version of
the VMP as well as other valuable features and products, such as our internet search toolbar with its photo-management feature. See Note 13 in the financial statements for additional segment reporting
information. Unicast by Viewpoint Advertising Solutions (Advertising Systems) We offer an online advertising campaign management and deployment product known as the “Unicast Advertising Platform” (“UAP”). UAP permits publishers, advertisers, and their agencies to
manage the complex process of deploying online advertising campaigns. This process includes creating 3
the advertising assets, selecting the sites on which the advertisements will be deployed, setting the campaign parameters (ad rotation, the frequency with which an ad may be deployed, and other metrics),
deployment, and tracking of campaign results. We designed UAP to integrate creative assembly with campaign management and detailed performance analysis. In addition, we believe it has the broadest capabilities of any deployment system to
deliver ad formats and media types, including several different video formats, 3D content, and all major “rich media” units. UAP is “technology agnostic”, meaning it delivers advertisements that utilize all major technologies and formats, not just those exploiting the special capabilities of the VMP. Importantly, however,
video and other “rich media” ads that typically involve large file sizes and, therefore, higher bandwidth costs, can be deployed at significantly lower rates when utilizing the Viewpoint format by taking
advantage of the VMP residing on the internet consumer’s computer. In January 2005, we acquired Unicast Communications Corp. (“Unicast”), a leader in the delivery of internet video advertisements that play interstitially when a web surfer moves between pages at a
web publisher’s site, adding another video ad delivery mechanism to our solution. We believe the addition of Unicast helped accelerate the growth of our advertising systems segment because of its past
relationship with advertisers and web publishers, and as a result of the addition of key personnel in the marketing, technology, sales, and customer support areas. Following the acquisition of Unicast, we integrated all of our product offerings into one suite of products called Viewpoint’s Unicast Online Advertising Suite, which was rebranded as Unicast by
Viewpoint in 2006. This suite of products includes Unicast Transitional (full screen and partial screen video and interactive ads that are shown to consumers as they navigate between pages), Unicast In-Page
(video and interactive ads embedded within web pages including standard and expandable banners, pre-roll and post-roll ads), and Unicast Over-the-Page (video and interactive ads that “float”/play over
the top of an internet site page). The suite of products is delivered using UAP. We offer these advertising formats delivered through UAP to customers, charging them in the standard manner consistent with industry practices, with fees based on the number of times an
advertisement is deployed (i.e., on a “CPM”, or cost per thousand impression basis). CPM fees vary by type of advertisement, with static ads realizing relatively low fees and rich media ads—particularly video
ads—realizing higher fees. During 2005 and 2006 we also utilized our resources to plan and purchase media space for our clients. When we execute campaigns for advertisers we are paid both a delivery fee and for media
planning and placement. We include the total cash received for these deals as revenue, and our payments to publishers for the media space is included in our cost of revenues for advertising systems, as we
provide ad serving in addition to the placement of media, we negotiate the price, and take the risks associated with the client’s credit and collectibility of receivables. We believe our ongoing development of
expertise in media planning, as well as, market demand, will cause this type of service to expand in 2007. Ad delivery via UAP also contributes to our overall strategy in that ads served through UAP cause older VMPs to be updated (as described above) regardless of whether the advertisement served relies
on the VMP or uses other standard formats. At some later time, the user can be offered the Fotomat Toolbar. Thus, we have experienced an increase in offers of Fotomat Toolbars when we have an
increase in advertising impressions delivered using UAP. During 2006, we also launched a Search Consulting Practice called KeySearch by Viewpiont that leverages our expertise in Search Engine Marketing (“SEM”) to help advertisers more effectively
promote their products online. While the Company believes, based on outside studies, that online marketers plan to increase spending on search marketing during 2007, there is a significant gap in service
companies that offer both SEM and interactive agency services. Viewpoint provides both, and the practice will focus on five core functions; to make search easy and profitable, to develop search strategies
and campaigns, keyword development, bid management, and business intelligence reporting and analytics. We will utilize Viewpoint technology to achieve efficiencies and offer our customers end to end
search engine marketing solutions in addition to ad creation, serving, delivery and reporting. 4
Search Solutions (Search and Licensing) On March 17, 2004, Viewpoint entered the internet search business by launching a toolbar search, product which the Company calls the “Viewpoint Toolbar”. The Viewpoint Toolbar attaches to the
Internet Explorer browser, enabling web surfers to conduct internet searches without leaving the webpage they are viewing. When a user enters a term or phrase in the search field of the Viewpoint
Toolbar, search results appear not only as text links listed on a search results page but also as thumbnail icons of the web pages themselves in a “tray” that descends from the Viewpoint Toolbar.
Additionally, if a user visits certain internet search engine sites the Viewpoint Toolbar will simultaneously receive a user’s search request and provide the user comparative thumbnail search results in the
Viewpoint Toolbar search results tray. The Company executed a search advertising agreement in 2004, and amended it in 2006, with Yahoo!. The agreement provides that Yahoo! is the exclusive provider of search results for the Viewpoint
Toolbar through March 2008. Yahoo! pays a variable fee per month for the access to the Company’s distribution and the exclusive right to display search results to the Viewpoint Toolbar. This variable fee
is based on users’ clicks on sponsored advertisements included in the search results provided by Yahoo! through the Viewpoint Toolbar. The Viewpoint Toolbar’s search results are provided by Yahoo!, who
collects a fee from the advertiser and remits a percentage of the fee to Viewpoint. Revenue generated is a function of the number of Viewpoint Toolbars performing searches, the number of searches that
are sponsored by advertisers, the number of advertisements that are clicked on by Viewpoint Toolbar searchers, the rate advertisers pay for those advertisements, and the percentage retained by Yahoo! for
providing the results. The Viewpoint Toolbar technology incorporates methods for “rendering”, streaming, updating, and “skinning” that were first developed for the VMP. Like other offerings of its type, the Viewpoint
Toolbar enables consumers to search the Internet for goods, services and information. Unlike other toolbars, however, the Viewpoint Toolbar’s architecture enables features such as visual representations of
search results and “bookmarked” internet sites, automatic updating, generation of desktop animations, and a “Pop-Up” blocker that intercepts pop-up advertisements and holds them in a “tray” of the
Viewpoint Toolbar. This tray can be accessed if and when a user desires. Viewpoint is in the process of applying for patent protection on several of these features and processes. In version 2.0, released in
July 2004, Viewpoint added other features, including more efficient deployment of search results and “Comparative Search.” When the Comparative Search feature is operating and a consumer uses a
search method other than the Viewpoint Toolbar to conduct an internet search, a web page listing the search results of the search engine selected will appear and the tray from the Viewpoint Toolbar will
simultaneously populate with thumbnail images of the search results supplied by Yahoo!. In July 2005, we launched version 3.0 of the Viewpoint Toolbar which includes the capability to manage digital photograph files on the user’s computer and provides the ability to share the photographs
at a website or get printed copies of the photographs for a fee. During October 2005, we released version 3.5 of the Viewpoint Toolbar and re-named it the Fotomat Toolbar. We had previously licensed the
trademark and internet url Fotomat.com for our exclusive use in connection with the internet website for photograph and printing services and computer software for organization, editing, managing,
sharing, and processing images and related data through the end of December 2006, with the ability to renew such license. In November 2006, we bought the rights to the Fotomat trademark and internet url
Fotomat.com outright from Konica-Minolta Imaging USA. The new Fotomat Toolbar provides enhanced photograph editing capabilities and an efficient method of creating albums of photographs, which
we believe will enhance the utility of the toolbars for users, while simultaneously allowing users to use the Toolbar to search the internet. We have been offering the Viewpoint Toolbar to internet users who have the most recent version of the VMP installed on their computer. We present those users with notice of the availability of the
Viewpoint Toolbar and an opportunity to install it without charge. Through December 31, 2006, we have offered over 63.6 million VMP users the opportunity to install the Viewpoint or Fotomat Toolbars
and 26.6 million have accepted. Consumers can uninstall the Toolbars either through their operating system or through an option on the Toolbar. Over 13.1 million Toolbars remain installed as of 5
December 31, 2006. We also make the Fotomat Toolbar available for download from our website and at www.fotomat.com. We generate revenue from the Viewpoint and Fotomat Toolbars when an internet consumer uses the Toolbar to conduct an internet search, or when they have the Toolbar installed and conduct a
search at several internet sites. We also generate revenue, although a very small percentage, when a user conducts a search from our search homepage, www.viewpointsearch.com. Revenue is generated when the consumer clicks on sponsored results provided by Yahoo! that have been provided because an advertiser has paid to be included in
Yahoo!’s search results. Yahoo! receives the fee from the advertiser and pays Viewpoint a percentage of this fee 45 days after the end of the month in which the advertisement is clicked. In the fourth quarter of 2005, Viewpoint negotiated an extension to the agreement with Yahoo! to provide search results until March 2008. Additionally, the Company received the right to create and
distribute customized versions of the Toolbar for third parties, subject to certain conditions. This right will enable the Company to empower marketers with the ability to distribute a customized toolbar that
utilizes Yahoo! as the exclusive search engines to their customers. These toolbars may include new and/or existing features of the Viewpoint or Fotomat Toolbar. Search revenue generated from the
distribution of these customized toolbars would be shared between Yahoo! and Viewpoint on the same basis as the current contract. Custom toolbars are permission-based and provide the means to
dynamically deliver marketing messaging to customers on a one-to-one basis. Prior to launching our Search product we principally leveraged our distributed base of VMP’s by licensing access to use the Viewpoint Platform for display of content on a website. Viewpoint initiated
internet activities with the release of a beta version of the Viewpoint Media Player in 1999. Simultaneously, Viewpoint released a suite of free content authoring tools specifically designed to enable
customers who published digital content on their websites to create material that can be “read” or “played back” by the VMP. With the VMP residing on the web consumer’s computer and interpreting
instructions delivered by our customers’ web sites, web sites can transmit relatively small files that can yield “rich” media on the end user’s computer. In this way, website owners can deploy digital content
representing three-dimensional views of their products, include pre-set animations, and provide high-resolution two-dimensional views, video, audio, text, and other media types. For example, we have
licensing customers who are auto manufacturers that deploy from their websites 3D representations of their vehicles which viewers can interact with by “opening” doors, zooming in on features, configuring
accessories, or swapping colors. Our licensees helped facilitate the growth of our distributed base of VMP’s that we used to launch our Search Toolbar business. We make available on our web site, without charge, the core software necessary to create content in the Viewpoint format, as well as extensive tutorials and related materials. During 2005 we launched
Enliven, a content authoring software product that makes the process of authoring content in the Viewpoint format easier on a free trial basis. In addition, we also launched a professional version of Enliven
called Enliven PRO that is bundled with Right Hemisphere’s Deep Exploration and a video encoder powered by On2Technolgies. We are distributing Enliven PRO through a re-seller for a one-time fee
and include with the price of the software the right to deploy an unlimited quantity of most types of Viewpoint content from an unlimited number of websites for an unlimited period of time. We believe
that this will help facilitate expanded distribution of VMP’s that will increase distribution of the Viewpoint or Fotomat Toolbar. In June 2005, Viewpoint announced that for all non-special purpose licenses, it was discontinuing the practice of charging customers a license fee for the use of the Viewpoint Media Player and related
technologies. The Viewpoint Media Player no longer requires a broadcast key to display content, thereby giving all developers free access to the Viewpoint Distribution Network. However, Viewpoint
continues to charge for certain licenses requiring customization. By providing the standard license for free, the Company plans to extend the Viewpoint Media Player’s reach into new channels of
distribution beyond the estimated 120 million computers it currently resides within. Viewpoint believes that this strategy supports the search toolbar business as well as the advertising business by potentially
making the player more pervasive. 6
SiteSide/Website Solutions (Services) We provide fee-based professional services for creating content and implementing visualization solutions. Our professional services group is called TheStudio by Viewpoint, which uses the Viewpoint
platform as well as a spectrum of tools and other technologies to create enhanced rich media solutions for our clients’ particular purposes; generally for deployment at their websites but also on intranet
systems or offline media and applications. We provide the support our clients need to implement the rich media content, to fully utilize the enhanced software, or to maximize the branding potential of the
advertising opportunity. Clients supported during 2006 included America Online, Inc., Toyota Motor Services, General Electric, Honda and others. TheStudio by Viewpoint group plays an integral role in our overall strategy. Aside from generating significant revenues, the group increases the number of websites that use the Viewpoint platform and
distribute VMP’s to their customers. Additionally the group supports the development of advanced advertising formats and advertising content making use of UAP more appealing to marketers. Finally this
work keeps us on the cutting-edge of the industry, giving us hands-on experience with the design and development problems faced by our own clients. We are not totally reliant on our own content creation
services, however, as we have cultivated a network of independent content developers trained to provide those services as well. Competition We have competitors in all of the product areas in which we compete. Competitors of our Unicast product area include full service advertising delivery companies like aQuantive, Doubleclick, and 24/7
RealMedia. Additionally, certain companies specialize in delivering rich media and video advertisements like Pointroll (a subsidiary of Gannett) and Eyeblaster (a private company). Competitors in the
Services sector include advertising agencies, online agencies and independent creative talent that can build content in the Viewpoint format or in other rich media formats. Historically, our software
licensing competitors (and their products) included: Macromedia, Inc. (Flash and Shockwave) and Cycore AB (Cult3D), although we have largely exited that business. Competitors in the Search solutions business include Google Inc., Yahoo! (who offers its own search toolbar in addition to supplying search results for use with the Viewpoint Toolbar, Fotomat
Toolbar, and other custom toolbars that we create,) MSN, AskJeeves, Inc. (a subsidiary of IAC), MIVA (formerly FindWhat), and InfoSpace. Although we compete with some of the Search Engine firms in
the toolbar space, we are not a search engine; but rather a partner with Yahoo! in distributing their search results. Some of our competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial stability, management resources, technology, development, sales, marketing and other resources than we have.
As we compete with larger competitors across a broader range of products and technologies, we may face increasing competition from such companies. If these or other competitors develop products,
technologies or solutions that offer significant performance, price, or other advantages over our products, our business would be harmed. In 2006, we saw acquisitions of pure play ad delivery companies such as Doubleclick’s acquisition of Klipmart and Yahoo’s acquisition of AdInterax. We anticipate acquisitions of pure play ad delivery
companies to continue in 2007. These acquisitions will likely come from large publishers looking to bring rich media in house and large ad serving companies that lack rich media capabilities. A variety of other possible actions by our competitors could also have a material adverse effect on our business, including increased promotion or the introduction of new or enhanced products and
technologies. Moreover, new personal computer platforms and operating systems may provide new entrants with opportunities to obtain a substantial market share in the markets in which we compete. Our competitors may be able to develop products or technologies comparable or superior to ours, or may be able to develop new products or technologies more quickly. We also face competition from
developers of personal computer operating systems such as Microsoft and Apple Computer, Inc., as well as from open-source operating systems such as Linux. These operating systems may incorporate 7
functions that could be superior to, or incompatible with, our products and technologies. Such competition would adversely affect our business. See the section headed “Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations” below for additional information regarding competition. Product Development The continual development of new products and enhancements to our existing products is critical to our success. Our principal current product development efforts are focused on the development of
the Viewpoint platform and other technologies like UAP and Graphically Enhanced Search. From time to time, we may also acquire basic software technologies that we consider complementary to our
offerings. Our growth will, in part, be a function of the introduction of new products, technologies and services and future enhancements to existing products and technologies. Any such new products,
technologies or enhancements may not achieve market acceptance. In addition, we have historically experienced delays in the development of new products, technologies and enhancements, and such delays
may occur in the future. If we were unable, due to resource constraints or technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce such products, technologies or enhancements in a timely manner, this
inability could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our research and development expenses were approximately $3.9 million, $4.5 million, and $3.4 million for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. We added additional engineers in connection with our
acquisition of Unicast and expanded efforts in the advertising systems business which resulted in increased research and development expenses during 2005. Employees As of February 15, 2007, Viewpoint had 91 full time employees, including 21 related to cost of revenues in creative services and advertising systems; 23 in sales and marketing; 26 in research,
development and quality assurance; and 21 in administration. This compares to 126 full time employees, including 38 related to cost of revenues in creative services and advertising systems; 21 in sales and
marketing; 42 in research, development and quality assurance; and 25 in administration as of February 15, 2006. The employees and the Company are not parties to any collective bargaining agreements, and
the Company believes that its relationships with its employees are good. Available Information Our website is located at http://www.viewpoint.com. Our investor relations website is located at http://www.viewpoint.com/pub/company. We make available free of charge on our investor relations

Cardozo School of Law in 1999. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND EXPECT TO INCUR LOSSES IN THE FUTURE, WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR SHARE PRICE TO DECLINE. THESE FACTORS RAISE
SUBSTANTIAL DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $4.3 million at December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash used in operations amounted to $5.8
million. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $285.6 million. The Company has incurred negative cash flows and net losses since inception. Based on current operating
levels combined with limited capital resources, financing operations during 2007 will require that the Company improve operating results through cost cutting measures, increases in revenues or both, and/or
raise sufficient additional equity or debt capital. If the Company’s expected revenue targets are not achieved, or the Company fails to raise sufficient equity or debt capital, management would implement
cost reduction 9
measures including work force reduction as well as reduction in overhead costs and capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain positive cash flows from
operations or profitability. The Company currently has no commitment for additional financing and may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any financing the
Company obtains may contain covenants that restrict the Company’s freedom to operate the business or may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock and may dilute the
Company’s current shareholders’ ownership interest in Viewpoint. All these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and may materially and adversely
affect our stock price. Based on the above factors our independent registered public accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their report for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 with respect to our ability
to continue as a going concern. WE MAY HAVE TO OBTAIN FINANCING ON LESS FAVORABLE TERMS, WHICH COULD DILUTE CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS’ OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY. In order to fund our operations and pursue our growth strategy we may seek additional financing through public or private equity funding or from other sources. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
If we became unable to continue as a going concern, we would have to liquidate our assets and we might receive significantly less than the values at which they are carried on our consolidated financial
statements. Any shortfall in the proceeds from the liquidation of our assets would directly reduce the amounts, if any, that holders of our common stock could receive in liquidation. To remain a going concern, we require significant funding. Our current financial position may materially and adversely affect our stock price. Our independent registered public accountants have
included an explanatory paragraph in their report for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. We have no commitment for additional financing and we may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any financing we obtain may contain covenants that
restrict our freedom to operate our business or may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to our common stock and may dilute our current stockholders’ ownership interest in Viewpoint. OUR STOCK MAY BE DE-LISTED FROM NASDAQ, WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL AND STOCKHOLDERS’ ABILITY TO SELL THEIR
SHARES. On November 27, 2006, the Company received a NASDAQ deficiency letter indicating that for 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closed below the minimum
$1.00 per share requirement and therefore, its common stock is subject to potential delisting from the NASDAQ Global Market pursuant to Rule 4450(a)(5). The Company was provided 180 calendar
days, or until May 29, 2007, to regain compliance by maintaining a bid price of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days. If the Company cannot achieve compliance with the minimum per share price requirement by May 29, 2007, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be de-listed. At
that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist its securities to the Listings Qualification Panel. Alternatively, the Company may also apply for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
If its application is approved, the Company will be afforded the remainder of The Nasdaq Capital Market’s second 180 calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance while on The Nasdaq
Capital Market. In addition, the Company may undergo a reverse stock split in order to regain compliance; however, a reverse stock split requires stockholders’ approval through the proxy process. 10
If the Company’s common stock is de-listed from NASDAQ, the market liquidity of the Company’s common stock will be significantly limited, which would reduce stockholders’ ability to sell
Company securities in the secondary market. Additionally, any such de-listing would harm the Company’s ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on acceptable terms, if at all, and may
result in the loss of confidence in the Company’s financial stability by suppliers, customers and employees. [The Company cannot give investors in its common stock any assurance that the Company will be
able to regain and maintain compliance with the $1.00 per-share minimum price requirement for continued listing on NASDAQ or that its stock will not be de-listed by NASDAQ.] IF OUR COMMON STOCK WERE TO BE DE-LISTED FROM NASDAQ WE WOULD BE IN DEFAULT OF CERTAIN LOAN COVENANTS WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE
ACCELERATED PAYMENT OF OUR $3.1 MILLION SUBORDINATED LOAN. If the Company’s common stock is de-listed from NASDAQ it will violate a covenant within the 4.95% subordinated note agreement between the Company and Federal Partners P, L.P., an affiliate of
the Clark Estates which would accelerate the maturity date of the $3.1 million of subordinated notes originally scheduled to mature on March 31, 2008. In March 2007, the Company and a holder of the subordinated debt amended the 4.95% subordinated note in the principal amount of $3.1 million (referred to herein as the “Holder”) to extend the
maturity date from March 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009 in exchange for the payment by Viewpoint of $0.2 million to the Holder of the subordinated note, and adding $0.3 million to the principle of the
note. In addition, the amended note also extended the aforementioned de-listing covenant until December 31, 2008. OUR EFFORTS TO DISTRIBUTE OUR GRAPHICALLY ENHANCED SEARCH TOOLBAR MAY EXPERIENCE SETBACKS LIMITING OR REDUCING OUR SEARCH REVENUE. We distribute our Graphically Enhanced Search toolbar through a complicated process that relies on internet users visiting websites or seeing advertising for a sufficient period of time to receive the
software that eventually offers them our search toolbar. We need to continue to expand our reach of internet users who visit affiliated websites or view our advertising in order to receive the software.
During 2005, our rate of installation slowed to approximately 1.0 million per month, which has continued to decline to less than 0.5 million per month in 2006. There can be no assurance that this rate of
installation will not continue to slow. Additionally, our reach is impacted by the rate of uninstallation of our Viewpoint Toolbars. We believe 3.3 million, 6.6 million, and 3.6 million Viewpoint Toolbars
were uninstalled during 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively, after being accepted by a consumer. The Viewpoint Toolbars could have been uninstalled for a variety of reasons including lack of use, concern
over performance, acceptance of a competitor’s product or user error. If we are not able to continue to offer the Viewpoint Toolbar at the current rate, the pace of uninstallations could lead to a decrease in
our total net installed universe and a decline in revenues. THE SUCCESS OF OUR GRAPHICALLY ENHANCED SEARCH OPERATIONS DEPENDS ON USERS’ SATISFACTION WITH SEARCH RESULTS SUPPLIED BY YAHOO!. We have an agreement with Yahoo! which establishes Yahoo! as our exclusive supplier of search results for the Viewpoint Toolbar. This agreement expires in March 2008. The market for products that
enable and supply search results is relatively new, intensely competitive, and rapidly changing. Yahoo!’s principal competitors for supplying search results include Google Inc. and Microsoft. If these or other
competitors develop more popular search results, end users may choose to use search toolbars or other search methods through which results from these competitors are supplied. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY REPLACE OUR SEARCH RESULTS VENDOR WHEN OUR DISTRIBUTION CONTRACT WITH YAHOO! EXPIRES IN MARCH 2008. We receive paid search results from Yahoo!. Yahoo! is successful at attracting advertisers who seek to purchase internet search advertisements, and our agreement with Yahoo! provides us a
satisfactory 11
percentage of those revenues. Our contract with Yahoo! expires in March 2008. There can be no assurance that our agreement with Yahoo! will be renewed on the same or more favorable terms, if at all.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we would be able to successfully replace Yahoo! with another provider of search results on similar financial terms if necessary. OUR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS MAY BE WRONGLY LABELED AS SPYWARE OR ADWARE WHICH MIGHT LEAD TO ITS UNINSTALLATION CAUSING A DECREASE IN OUR
REVENUES. Our software products do not collect personally-identifiable information about users or track their activity on the internet. Nonetheless, our software products, including the Viewpoint Toolbar and the
Viewpoint Media Player, have been wrongly characterized as spyware or adware by certain security software vendors. We monitor activity in this area and undertake efforts to educate vendors about the
characteristics of our software, and thus far have been successful largely at getting these vendors to change their characterization of our Viewpoint Toolbar. Should we fail to persuade such vendors about
the functionality of our Viewpoint Toolbar, or not learn about a false characterization on a timely basis, a substantial number of our Viewpoint Toolbars could be uninstalled leading to a decrease in our
revenues and our business will be materially and adversely affected. OUR BUSINESS MAY NOT GROW IF THE INTERNET ADVERTISING MARKET DOES NOT CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OR IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY
IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS MODEL. A significant part of our business model is to generate revenue by providing interactive marketing solutions to advertisers, ad agencies and web publishers. The profit potential for this business model is
unproven. For our business to be successful, internet advertising will need to achieve increasing market acceptance by advertisers, ad agencies and web publishers. The intense competition among Internet
advertising sellers has led to the creation of a number of pricing alternatives for Internet advertising. These alternatives make it difficult for us to project future levels of advertising revenue and applicable
gross margin that can be sustained by us or the Internet advertising industry in general. Intensive marketing and sales efforts may be necessary to educate prospective advertisers regarding the uses and benefits of, and to generate demand for, our products and services. Advertisers may be
reluctant or slow to adopt a new approach that may replace, limit or compete with their existing systems. Acceptance of our new solutions will depend on the continued emergence of Internet commerce,
communication, and advertising, and demand for its solutions. We cannot assure you that use of the Internet will continue to grow or that current uses of the Internet are sustainable. OUR FAILURE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE MAY HINDER OUR GROWTH. The markets for Internet advertising and related products and services are intensely competitive and such competition is expected to increase. Our failure to successfully compete may hinder our
growth. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than ours. In addition,
current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase the ability of their products or services to address the needs
of our prospective clients. We cannot be certain that we will be able to successfully compete against current or future competitors. In addition, the Internet must compete for a share of advertisers’ total
budgets with traditional advertising media, such as television, radio, cable and print, as well as content aggregation companies and other companies that facilitate Internet advertising. To the extent that the
Internet is perceived to be a limited or ineffective advertising or direct marketing medium, advertisers and direct marketers may be reluctant to devote a significant portion of their advertising budgets to
Internet marketing. 12
OUR REVENUES WILL BE SUBJECT TO SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS. We believe that our revenues will be subject to seasonal fluctuations because advertisers generally place fewer advertisements during the first and third calendar quarters of each year and direct
marketers mail substantially more marketing materials in the third quarter of each year. Furthermore, Internet user traffic typically drops during the summer months, which reduces the number of
advertisements to sell and deliver and searches performed. Expenditures by advertisers and direct marketers tend to vary in cycles that reflect overall economic conditions as well as budgeting and buying
patterns. Our revenue could be materially reduced by a decline in the economic prospects of advertisers, direct marketers or the economy in general, which could alter current or prospective advertisers’
spending priorities or budget cycles or extend our sales cycle. In addition, any decreases in or delays in advertising spending due to general economic conditions could reduce our revenues or negatively
impact our ability to grow our revenues. Due to such risks, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indicator of our future results. Our staffing and other
operating expenses are based in large part on anticipated revenues. It may be difficult for us to adjust our spending to compensate for any unexpected shortfall. If we are unable to reduce our spending
following any such shortfall, our results of operations would be adversely affected. WE MAY ENTER INTO BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND STRATEGIC ALLIANCES WHICH COULD BE DIFFICULT TO INTEGRATE AND MAY DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS. We acquired Unicast Communications Corp. on January 3, 2005 and may continue to pursue expansion of our operations or market presence by entering into additional business combinations,
investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances with other companies. These transactions create risks such as:
•
difficulty assimilating the operations, technology and personnel of the combined companies; • disruption of our ongoing business; • problems retaining key technical and managerial personnel; • expenses associated with amortization of purchased intangible assets; • additional operating losses and expenses of acquired businesses; • responsibility for liabilities of acquired businesses; and • impairment of relationships with existing employees, customers and business partners. WE MAY NEED TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS OR OTHER UNTESTED METHODS OF INCREASING SALES WITH OUR EXISTING PRODUCTS OR DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
TO GENERATE SALES AND IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL THE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS MAY CEASE OR DECLINE. Our search and licensing revenues have declined significantly year-over-year. If this decrease in sales of our products continues or our new products are unsuccessful, we will be unable to generate
sufficient revenues to offset current costs. Accordingly, we may be required to develop new products or other untested methods. If these new products or untested methods fail to increase sales, our business
may cease or decline. WE WILL NEED TO KEEP PACE WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IN THE INTERNET SEARCH AND ADVERTISING INDUSTRIES. In order to remain competitive, we will be continually required to enhance and to improve the functionality and features of our Search and Advertising systems products, which could require us to
invest significant capital. If our competitors introduce new products and services embodying new technologies, or if new industry standards and practices emerge, our existing services, technology, and
systems may become obsolete and we may not have the funds or technical know-how to upgrade our services, technology, and systems. We may face material delays in introducing new services, products,
and enhancements. If such delays occur, our users may forego use of our services and select those of our 13
competitors, in which event, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. OUR AD CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT AND DEPLOYMENT SOLUTION MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL AND MAY CAUSE BUSINESS DISRUPTION. UAP is our proprietary ad deployment technology. We must, among other things, ensure that this technology will function efficiently at high volumes, interact properly with our database, offer the
functionality demanded by our customers and assimilate our sales and reporting functions. Customers may become dissatisfied by any system failure that interrupts our ability to provide our services to
them, including failures affecting our ability to deploy advertisements without significant delay to the viewer. Sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our solutions to
advertisers, ad agencies, and web publishers and could result in contract terminations, fee rebates and make-goods, thereby reducing revenue. Slower response time or system failures may also result from
straining the capacity of our deployed software or hardware due to an increase in the volume of advertising deployed through our servers. To the extent that we do not effectively address any capacity
constraints or system failures, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. WE MIGHT EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DEFECTS IN OUR PRODUCTS. Software products frequently contain errors or failures, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. We might experience significant errors or failures in our products, or they
might not work with other hardware or software as expected, which could delay the growth of our Viewpoint Toolbar or UAP products, or which could adversely affect market acceptance of our products.
Any significant product errors or design flaws would slow the adoption of our products and cause damage to our reputation, which would seriously harm our business. If customers were dissatisfied with
product functionality or performance, we could lose revenue or be subject to liability for service or warranty costs and claims, and our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely
affected. OUR TECHNICAL SYSTEMS ARE VULNERABLE TO INTERRUPTION AND DAMAGE. A disaster could interrupt our services for an indeterminate length of time and severely damage our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Our systems and operations are
vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, sabotage, computer viruses, penetration of our network by unauthorized computer users and
“hackers,” and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or unanticipated problems at our technical operations facilities could cause material interruptions or delays in our business, loss of data, or
render us unable to provide services to customers. Failure to provide the data communications capacity we require, as a result of human error, natural disaster, or other operational disruptions could cause
interruptions in our services and web sites. The occurrence of any or all of these events could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, interruptions in our services could result from the failure of our telecommunications providers to provide the necessary data communications capacity in the time frame we require. Our
UAP technology resides on computer systems located in our data centers hosted by IBM and Savvis and uses the networking capabilities of these companies, Akamai and other providers. These systems’
continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to our success. Despite precautions that we have taken, unanticipated problems affecting our systems in the future could cause interruptions in the
delivery of our solutions. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by any damage or failure that interrupts or delays our operations. To improve
the performance and to prevent disruption of our services, we may have to make substantial investments to deploy additional servers or one or more copies of our web sites to mirror our online resources.
Although we believe we carry property insurance with adequate coverage limits, our coverage may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses, particularly with respect to loss of business and reputation
that may occur. 14
OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM HAS ONLY RECENTLY STARTED WORKING TOGETHER. During 2005 and 2006, the Company hired several new sales and marketing managers general managers to run the Product groups and appointed an interim Chief Financial Officer. While all these
individuals were familiar with the Internet business and Viewpoint in particular, and several had worked together before, there can be no assurance that these employees will successfully be able to transfer
their experience to Viewpoint. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that these new employees or existing Viewpoint employees will successfully support one another to execute the required strategy and
tactics to be a successful and profitable company. OUR STOCK PRICE IS VOLATILE, WHICH COULD SUBJECT US TO CLASS ACTION LITIGATION. The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in the past. The price at which our common stock will trade in the future will depend on a number of factors including:
•
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; • general market and economic conditions affecting Internet companies; • our announcement of new products, technologies or services; • developments regarding our products, technologies or services, or those of our competitors; and • sales of large blocks of common stock by individual or institutional shareholders. In addition, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. We may in the future be the target of similar
litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating
results and cash flows. OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS COULD MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR AN UNSOLICITED THIRD PARTY TO ACQUIRE US. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws contain provisions that could make it difficult for an unsolicited third party to acquire control of us, even if a change in control would be beneficial to
stockholders. For example, our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. Without stockholder approval, the board of
directors has the authority to attach special rights, including voting and dividend rights, to this preferred stock. With these rights, preferred stockholders could make it more difficult for an unsolicited third
party to acquire our company. In July 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan, which was amended in June, 1999 and further amended in November, 2000. The stockholder rights
plan, as amended, provides for the issuance of preferred stock purchase rights (“Rights”) to the holders of our common stock. The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects and are designed to protect and
maximize the value of the outstanding equity interests in the Company in the event of an unsolicited attempt by an acquiror to take over the Company in a manner or on terms not approved by the Board
of Directors. If triggered, the Rights would cause substantial dilution to a person or group of persons who acquires more than 15% (17.5% for Computer Associates International, Inc.) of the Company’s
common stock on terms not approved by the Board of Directors. In addition, we must receive a stockholders’ proposal for an annual meeting within a specified period for that proposal to be included on the
agenda. Because stockholders do not have the power to call meetings and stockholder proposals for consideration at an annual or special meeting are subject to timing requirements, any third-party
takeover not supported by the board of directors would be subject to significant delays and difficulties. THE MARKET FOR DIGITAL VISUALIZATION SOLUTIONS IS CHARACTERIZED BY RAPIDLY CHANGING TECHNOLOGY, AND IF WE DO NOT RESPOND IN A TIMELY
MANNER, OUR PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES MAY NOT SUCCEED IN THE MARKETPLACE. The market for e-commerce visualization solutions is characterized by rapidly changing technology. As a result, our success depends substantially upon our ability to continue to enhance our products
and technologies and to develop new products and technologies that meet customers’ increasing 15
expectations. Additionally, we may not be successful in developing and marketing enhancements to our existing products and technologies or introducing new products and technologies on a timely basis.
Our new or enhanced products and technologies may not succeed in the marketplace. In addition, the computer graphics industry is subject to rapidly changing methods and models of information delivery. If a general market migration to a method of information delivery that is not
conforming with our technologies were to occur, our business and financial results would be adversely impacted. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. Our success and ability to compete substantially depend on the uniqueness or value of our products and technologies. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, and
employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements to protect our intellectual and proprietary rights, products, and technologies. Policing unauthorized use of our products and technologies is difficult and
the steps we take may not prevent the misappropriation or infringement of technology or proprietary rights. In addition, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights. Such
misappropriation or litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and the potential loss of intellectual property rights, any of which would adversely impair our business. WE MAY BE LIABLE FOR INFRINGING THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS. Our products and technologies may be the subject of infringement claims in the future. This could result in costly litigation and could require us to obtain a license to the intellectual property of third
parties. We may be unable to obtain licenses from these third parties on favorable terms, if at all. Even if a license is available, we may have to pay substantial royalties to obtain it. If we cannot obtain
necessary licenses on reasonable terms, our business would be adversely affected. REGULATORY AND LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. We are not currently subject to direct regulation by any government agency other than laws or regulations applicable generally to e-commerce. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet
and other online services, federal, state, and local governments may adopt laws and regulations, or amend existing laws and regulations, with respect to the Internet or other online services covering issues
such as user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, and characteristics and quality of products and services. In 1998, the United States Congress established the Advisory Committee on Electronic
Commerce which is charged with investigating, and making recommendations to Congress regarding, the taxation of sales by means of the Internet. Furthermore, the growth and development of the market
for e-commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws and impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations
may decrease the growth of the Internet or other online services, which could, in turn, decrease the demand for our services and increase our cost of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse
effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the relevant governmental authorities have not resolved the applicability to the Internet and other online services of
existing laws in various jurisdictions governing issues such as property ownership and personal privacy and it may take time to resolve these issues definitively. Any new legislation or regulation, the
application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and other online services could
have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. CHANGES IN REGULATIONS OR USER CONCERNS REGARDING PRIVACY AND PROTECTION OF USER DATA COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. Federal, state and international laws and regulations may govern the collection, use, sharing and security of data that we receive from our users and partners. In addition, we have and post on our
website our own privacy policies and practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of user data. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any 16
data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or other federal, state or international privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings or actions against us by
governmental entities or others, which could potentially have an adverse effect on our business. Further, failure or perceived failure to comply with our policies or applicable requirements related to the collection, use, sharing or security of personal information or other privacy-related matters
could result in a loss of user confidence in us and ultimately in a loss of users, partners or advertisers, which could adversely affect our business. There are a large number of legislative proposals pending before the United States Congress, various state legislative bodies and foreign governments concerning privacy issues related to our business.
It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted. Certain proposals, if adopted, could impose requirements that may result in a decrease in our revenues. In addition, the
interpretation and application of user data protection laws are in a state of flux. These laws may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from country to country and inconsistently with our current data
protection policies and practices. Complying with these varying international requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our
business. INTERNET SECURITY POSES RISKS TO OUR ENTIRE BUSINESS. The process of e-commerce aggregation by means of our hardware and software infrastructure involves the transmission and analysis of confidential and proprietary information of the advertiser, as
well as our own confidential and proprietary information. The compromise of our security or misappropriation of proprietary information could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from other companies to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure
Internet transmission of confidential information, such as credit and other proprietary information. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, or other events or
developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology used by us to protect client transaction data. Anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate
proprietary information or cause material interruptions in our operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to minimize problems
caused by security breaches. To the extent that our activities or the activities of others involve the storage and transmission of proprietary information, security breaches could damage our reputation and
expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. Our security measures may not prevent security breaches. Our failure to prevent these security breaches may have a material adverse effect on
our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. The Company leases approximately 17,000 square feet of space on the 18th floor of a 24-story office building in New York City, New York. This space houses approximately 68 personnel, including
substantially all of the Company’s general and administrative and research and development personnel as well as a significant portion of the sales and marketing and creative services personnel. The primary
lease agreement expires in February 2010, if not renewed. The Company believes that this office space is adequate for its current needs and that additional space is available in the building or in the New
York City area to provide for anticipated growth. The Company also leases approximately 12,000 square feet of office space in Los Angeles, California, pursuant to a lease that expires in December 2009. This space houses approximately 14 personnel
principally engaged in sales, marketing and production for the services segment. 17
The Company is engaged in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes it has adequate legal defenses in legal actions in which it is the defendant and believes
that the ultimate outcome of such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None. Viewpoint Corporation’s (“Viewpoint” or the “Company”) common stock, $0.001 par value, began trading over the counter in December 1995. The common stock is traded on The NASDAQ National
Market under the symbol “VWPT.” On March 15, 2007, there were 300 holders of record of our common stock. Some of the holders of record of Viewpoint common stock are brokers and other institutions
that hold stock on behalf of their customers. We estimate that approximately 10,000 stockholders hold shares of Viewpoint common stock through the brokers and other institutions. The following table sets
forth, for the periods indicated, the range of high and low closing sales prices per share of our common stock:

2.10 The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock to date. The Company currently anticipates that it will retain all future earnings, if any, for use in its business and does not anticipate
paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Information with respect to securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is included in our Proxy Statement relating to our 2007 annual meeting of stockholders and is
incorporated herein by reference. On November 27, 2006 the Company received notice from The NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department that for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common
stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). The Company may regain compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) if at any
time before May 29, 2007, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by May 29, 2007, the Company will be notified that its securities will be delisted. At that time the Company may appeal NASDAQ’s determination to delist
its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, the Company may also apply for listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. If its application is approved, the Company will be afforded the
remainder of The NASDAQ Capital Market’s second 180 calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance while on The NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $4.3 million at December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash used in operations amounted to $5.8
million. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $285.6 million. The Company has 18
incurred negative cash flows and net losses since inception. Based on current operating levels combined with limited capital resources, financing operations during 2007 will require that the Company
improve operating results through cost cutting measures, increases in revenues or both, and/or raise sufficient additional equity or debt capital. If the Company’s expected revenue targets are not achieved,
or the Company fails to raise sufficient equity or debt capital, management would implement cost reduction measures including work force reduction as well as reduction in overhead costs and capital
expenditures. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain positive cash flows from operations or profitability. The Company currently has no commitment for additional financing
and may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any financing the Company obtains may contain covenants that restrict the Company’s freedom to operate the
business or may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock and may dilute the Company’s current shareholders’ ownership interest in Viewpoint. All these factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and may materially and adversely affect our stock price. Based on the above factors our independent registered public accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their report for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 with respect to our ability
to continue as a going concern. 19
Performance Graph This performance graph shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under
that Section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of Viewpoint under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act. The following graph compares, for the five year period ended December 31, 2006, the cumulative total stockholder return for the Company’s common stock, the Nasdaq Stock Market (U.S. companies)
Index (the “Nasdaq Market Index”), the Goldman Sachs Internet Trading Index (the “GIN”) and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (the “S&P 500 Index”). Measurement points are the last trading day of
each of the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, December 31, 2002, December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006. The graph assumes that $100 was
invested on December 31, 2001 in the common stock of the Company, the Nasdaq Market Index, the GIN and the S&P 500 Stock Index and assumes reinvestment of any dividends. The stock price
performance on the following graph is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

In 2004, Viewpoint began to offer an online advertising delivery service. On December 1, 2004, Viewpoint Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of
Unicast Communications Corp. (“Unicast”), an online ad delivery company. Viewpoint charges customers on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) impression basis, and recognizes revenue when the
impressions are served, so long as all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. See Note 2 to the financial statements. (2) In March 2004, Viewpoint entered the internet search business, by launching the Viewpoint Toolbar. Search revenue is generated when a customer uses the Viewpoint Toolbar to search the internet,
and clicks on a sponsored advertisement included in the search results. The Viewpoint Toolbar’s search results are provided by Yahoo!, who collects a fee from the advertiser and remits a percentage of
the fee to Viewpoint. Revenue generated is a function of the number of Viewpoint Toolbars performing searches, the number of searches that are sponsored by advertisers, the number of
advertisements that are clicked on by Viewpoint Toolbar searchers, the rate advertisers pay for those advertisements, and the percentage retained by Yahoo! for providing the results. (3) America Online, Inc. (“AOL”) had a representative on the Company’s Board of Directors until December 2003. All contracts entered into with AOL prior to that date were recorded as related party
revenue. In addition, in 2003, the Company entered into an amended license agreement with AOL which provides for payments by AOL of $10.0 million which were all received during the fourth quarter of
2003. The agreement contained multiple elements consisting of a perpetual broadcast license, a perpetual source code license, quarterly updates to the source code through December 2005, and maintenance
and consulting services. The Company recognized $9.0 million of revenue from this agreement ratably as license and services revenue, through December 31, 2005, which represents the duration of the
Company’s obligation for post-contract customer support of the source code element including quarterly upgrades and maintenance requirements. The Company recognized $4.6 million in related party
license revenue and $1.1 million in related party service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005, relating to this agreement. The Company recognized $3.5 million and $1.0 million in related party
license and service revenue, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004, and $0.7 million and $.01 million in related party license and service revenue, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
2003, relating to this agreement. (4) In December 2005, the Company determined that, based upon a decline in operating performance during the fourth quarter of 2005, that the Services segment had experienced an impairment of its
allocated goodwill. The Company recorded an impairment expense of $7.8 million. In the third quarter of 2006, based on a further decline in the operating performance, the Company determined that
the Services segment experienced another impairment of its allocated goodwill. The Company recorded an additional impairment expense of $10.7 million. Also refer to financial statement footnote 6. (5) The Company issued convertible notes with a principal balance of $7.0 million on December 31, 2002, then subsequently redeemed $3.3 million of the notes at par, exchanged $1.0 million of the notes
for common stock and exchanged $2.7 million of the notes for new notes on March 25, 2003. Additionally, the Company issued $3.5 million of subordinated notes on March 26, 2003. The $6.2 million
aggregate principal balances of the convertible and subordinated notes were at an interest rate of 4.95% per annum. The $2.7 million of convertible notes were converted in 2004 into 2.6 million shares
of the Company’s common stock. The Company paid down $0.4 million of the subordinated notes in March 2006 and extended the maturity period of the remaining $3.1 million from March 2006 to
March 2008. 22
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. In addition to historical information, this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Factors
that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled “Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations.” You should carefully review the
risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed in 2007. When used in this report, the
words “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “targets,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking
statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document. Overview Our financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since our
inception, we have experienced substantial operating losses and negative cash flow from operations. As of December 31, 2006, we have an accumulated deficit of $285.6 million, and cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities of $4.3 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Also, as a result of these conditions, the opinion of our Independent
Registered Public Accountants on our audited financial statements for fiscal year 2006 has included an explanatory paragraph relating to “going concern.” Our ability to continue as a going concern
ultimately depends on our ability to increase revenues and reduce expenses to a level that will allow us to operate profitably and sustain positive operating cash flows and/or raise additional capital. Viewpoint Corporation (“Viewpoint” or the “Company”) is an internet marketing technology company that focuses on using its technical capabilities to help marketers effectively promote their
products online. Viewpoint provides a full suite of digital products, services and consulting for internet marketers. Viewpoint employs its visualization technology to drive powerful customer-facing
marketing tools that enable marketers to showcase complex products in a simple way, and allows for user interaction. Since 2003, we have extended the historical imaging capabilities of our proprietary
graphics technology to develop an advertising delivery system that specializes in deploying video and rich media advertising, and a search business that provides internet consumers a flexible graphical
searching experience. The Company supplements its revenues in these product segments by using its in-house services team to build sophisticated content that is used by customers in each product segment.
Finally, the Company previously licensed its platform to internet publishers enabling them to deploy graphical sophisticated content at their websites. However, in June 2005, the Company began to enable
free use of its platform (except for special purpose licenses) to facilitate growth in its search and advertising systems segments. Viewpoint offers an online advertising campaign management and deployment product known as the Unicast Advertising Platform or “UAP”. UAP permits publishers, advertisers, and their agencies to
manage the process of deploying online advertising campaigns. This process includes creating the advertising assets, selecting the sites on which the advertisements will be deployed, setting the metrics (ad
rotation, the frequency with which an ad may be deployed, and others) associated with the campaign, ad deployment, and tracking of campaign results. UAP enables users to manage advertising campaigns
across many sites. On January 3, 2005, Viewpoint purchased all the outstanding stock of Unicast Communications Corp. (“Unicast”), a leader in the delivery of interstitial and superstitial video internet advertisements.
Unicast delivered video advertisements for its customers using a format that complemented Viewpoint’s in-page and in-stream video advertising provided by AirTime. Additionally, Unicast generated
monthly revenues from dozens of advertisers who purchased advertising on some of the internet’s most active 23
websites including America Online, Microsoft’s MSN, and Yahoo!. The addition of Unicast significantly accelerated the Company’s growth in its advertising systems’ segment. On March 17, 2004, Viewpoint entered the internet search business by launching a toolbar search product which the Company calls the “Viewpoint Toolbar”. The Viewpoint Toolbar attaches to the
Internet Explorer browser, enabling web surfers to conduct internet searches without leaving the web page they are viewing. When a user enters a term or phrase in the search field of the Viewpoint
Toolbar, search results appear not only as text links listed on a search results page but also as thumbnail icons of the web pages themselves in a “tray” that descends from the Viewpoint Toolbar.
Additionally, if a user visits certain internet search engine sites the Viewpoint Toolbar will simultaneously receive a user’s search request and provide the user comparative thumbnail search results in the
Viewpoint Toolbar search results tray. The Company executed a search advertising agreement in 2004, and amended it in 2006, with Yahoo!. The agreement provides that Yahoo! is the exclusive provider of search results for the Viewpoint
Toolbar through March 2008. Yahoo! pays a variable fee per month for the access to the Company’s distribution and the exclusive right to display search results to the Viewpoint Toolbar. This variable fee
is based on users’ clicks on sponsored advertisements included in the search results provided by Yahoo! through the Viewpoint Toolbar. The Viewpoint Toolbar’s search results are provided by Yahoo!, who
collects a fee from the advertiser and remits a percentage of the fee to Viewpoint. Revenue generated is a function of the number of Viewpoint Toolbars performing searches, the number of searches that
are sponsored by advertisers, the number of advertisements that are clicked on by Viewpoint Toolbar searchers, the rate advertisers pay for those advertisements, and the percentage retained by Yahoo! for
providing the results. In July 2005, we launched version 3.0 of the Viewpoint Toolbar which includes the capability to manage digital photograph files on the user’s computer and provides the ability to share the photographs
at a website or get printed copies of the photographs for a fee. During October 2005, we released version 3.5 of the Viewpoint Toolbar and re-named it the Fotomat Toolbar. In July, 2005, we licensed the
trademark and internet url Fotomat.com for our exclusive use in connection with the internet website for photograph and printing services and computer software for organization, editing, managing,
sharing, and processing images and related data through the end of December 2006. In 2006, we purchased the Fotomat trademark and internet url Fotomat.com outright from Konica-Minolta Imaging,
U.S.A. Our new Fotomat Toolbar provides enhanced photograph editing capabilities and an efficient method of creating albums of photographs, which we believe will enhance the utility of the toolbars for
users, while simultaneously allowing users to use the Toolbar to search the internet. Prior to launching our Search product we principally leveraged our distributed base of VMP’s by licensing access to use the Viewpoint Platform for display of content on a website. Viewpoint initiated
internet activities with the release of a beta version of the Viewpoint Media Player in 1999. Simultaneously, Viewpoint released a suite of free content authoring tools specifically designed to enable
customers who published digital content on their websites to create material that can be “read” or “played back” by the VMP. With the VMP residing on the web consumer’s computer and interpreting
instructions delivered by our customers’ web sites, web sites can transmit relatively small files that can yield “rich” media on the end user’s computer. In this way, website owners can deploy digital content
representing three-dimensional views of their products, include pre-set animations, and provide high-resolution two-dimensional views, video, audio, text, and other media types. For example, we have
licensing customers who are auto manufacturers that deploy from their websites 3D representations of their vehicles which viewers can interact with by “opening” doors, zooming in on features, configuring
accessories, or swapping colors. Our licensees helped facilitate the growth of our distributed base of VMP’s that we used to launch our Search Toolbar business. We provide fee-based professional services for creating content and implementing visualization systems. Clients include both content-related licensees and advertisers who use UAP as well as internal
services provided to our marketing team. Our professional services group uses the Viewpoint platform, as well as a spectrum of tools and other technologies to create enhanced rich media solutions for a
client’s particular purpose, whether over the web, intranet systems or offline media and applications. We provide the support our clients need to implement the rich media content, to fully utilize the 24
enhanced software, or to maximize the branding potential of the advertising opportunity. Clients supported during 2006 include America Online, Toyota Motor Services, General Electric and Honda. Viewpoint has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company and its prospects can be based. Viewpoint has had significant quarterly and annual operating losses since its
inception, and, as of December 31, 2006, had an accumulated deficit of $285.6 million. Viewpoint’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage
technology companies. There can be no assurance that Viewpoint will achieve or sustain profitability. 25

)% Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Viewpoint’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of 26
conversion options of convertible notes
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances though actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a complete description of the Company’s accounting policies, see
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. Described below are the areas where we believe that the estimates, judgments or assumptions that we have made, if different, would have yielded the most significant differences in our financial
statements: Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended, and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101 “Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements” as amended by SAB No. 104 “Revenue Recognition.” Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: (a) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (c) the Company’s fee is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectibility is reasonably assured. Viewpoint generates revenues through four sources: (a) advertising systems, (b) search advertising, (c) services, and (d) software licenses. Advertising systems revenue is generated by charging
customers to host and/or deliver advertising campaigns based on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) impressions. The Search toolbar is an extension of the Company’s licensing revenue, and is derived from a
share of the fees charged by Yahoo! to advertisers who pay for sponsored links when a customer clicks on the paid link on the results provided by the Viewpoint Toolbar. Service revenues are generated
from fee-based professional services, customer support services (maintenance arrangements), and training services performed for customers that license the Company’s products. License revenues are
generated from licensing the rights to use products directly to customers. In June 2005, the Company discontinued charging customers a license fee (except for special purpose licenses requiring
customization), as the Company believes that distribution of Viewpoint content and the VMP will increase Search revenue. Viewpoint offers an online advertising campaign management and deployment product. This system, known as the “Unicast Ad Platform” (“UAP”), permits publishers, advertisers, and their agencies
to manage the process of deploying online advertising campaigns. The Company charges customers on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) impression basis, and recognizes revenue when the impressions are
served, so long as all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. The Company expects revenues from advertising systems to grow in future quarters. The Company also provides another advertising
services product whereby the Company purchases media space from web-site publishers and re-sells that space to advertisers. The Company acts as a principal party in the transaction, assumes the title to
the media space purchased, and assumes the risks of collection and therefore recognizes the entire amount billed to the customer as revenue and the cost of the media space as cost of sales. Additionally, in March 2004 Viewpoint entered the Internet search business, by launching the Viewpoint Toolbar. Search revenue is generated when a customer uses the Viewpoint Toolbar to search
the internet, and clicks on a sponsored advertisement included in the search results. The Viewpoint Toolbar’s search results are provided by Yahoo!, who collects a fee from the advertiser and remits a
percentage of the fee to Viewpoint. Revenue generated is a function of the number of Viewpoint Toolbars performing searches, the number of searches that are sponsored by advertisers, the number of
advertisements that are clicked on by Viewpoint Toolbar searchers, the rate advertisers pay for those advertisements, and the percentage retained by Yahoo! for providing the results. Viewpoint has a creative services group that builds content in the Viewpoint format for customers. Viewpoint charges customers fees for these services based on the estimated time and materials to
complete a creative project for the customer including an acceptable profit margin. Revenue is recognized on a pattern of performance basis if all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. Prior to 2006, the Company also generated revenues by selling licenses to the Viewpoint graphical platform principally to internet content publishers. In June 2005, Viewpoint announced that for all
non- 27
special-purpose-licenses, it was discontinuing the practice of charging customers a license fee for the use of the Viewpoint Media Player and related technologies. The Viewpoint Media Player will no longer
require a broadcast key to display content, thereby giving all developers a free license to the Viewpoint Distribution Network. However, Viewpoint will still charge for certain licenses requiring
customization. By providing the standard license for free, the Company plans to extend the Viewpoint Media Player’s reach into new channels of distribution beyond the estimated 120 million computers it
currently resides within. Viewpoint believes that this strategy supports the advertising business—by potentially making the player more pervasive—as well as providing stronger distribution for the search
businesses. Fees from licenses sold together with fee-based professional services were generally recognized upon delivery of the software, provided that the payment of the license fees were not dependent upon the
performance of the services, and the services were not essential to the functionality of the licensed software. If the services were essential to the functionality of the software, or payment of the license fees
were dependent upon the performance of the services, both the software license and service fees were recognized in accordance with SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and
Certain Production-Type Contracts.” The percentage of completion method was used for those arrangements in which reasonably dependable estimates were available. If reasonably dependable estimates
were not available due to the complexity of the services to be performed, the Company deferred recognition of any revenues for the project until the project was completed, delivered and accepted by the
customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria were met and no further significant obligations exist. For arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company defers revenue for the undelivered elements based on their relative fair value and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement
fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair value of each undelivered element in multiple element arrangements is based on the price charged when the
same element is sold separately. For maintenance and technical support elements, the Company uses renewal rates to determine the price when sold separately. Standard terms for service arrangements, which are typically billed and collected on an installment basis, require final payment within 90 days of completion of the services. Standard terms for license
arrangements required payment within 90 days of the contract date, which typically coincided with delivery. Probability of collection is based upon the assessment of the customer’s financial condition
through the review of their current financial statements and/or credit reports. For follow-on sales to existing customers, prior payment history is also used to evaluate probability of collection. The
Company’s arrangements with customers do not contain product return rights. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due or as cash is received from the
customer. If a nonstandard acceptance period is required, revenues are recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. Pattern of Performance Viewpoint has a creative services group that builds content in the Viewpoint format for customers. Viewpoint charges customers fees for these services based on time and materials to complete a
project for the customer. Revenue is recognized on a pattern of performance basis if all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. Those estimates are reviewed quarterly, and differences are adjusted
in the period they are found. If the actual cost to complete is not consistent with the original estimates, revenues may be materially different than initially recorded. Historically, the Company’s estimates
have been consistent with actual costs. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has adopted the provisions of FAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” which replaced FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25
(“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” as of January 1, 2006. The provisions of FAS 123(R) require a company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an
award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in 28
exchange for the award. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as
well as a number of complex and subjective assumptions. These assumptions include the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option
exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. FAS 123(R) also amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that excess tax benefits, as defined, realized from
the exercise of stock options be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid in cash flow from operations. A change in any single assumption could significantly increase or
decrease operating expenses. The Company elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to new or modified 2006
grants and to grants that were unvested as of the effective date. The Company recognized $2.0 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006. Reserve for Bad Debt We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current
credit information. The Company regularly monitors collections and payments from our customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific
customer collection issues that have been identified. If actual results differ from estimates made, expense recognized would be adjusted in the period that the differences became known and the difference
could be material. Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets We assess goodwill for impairment annually unless events occur that require more frequent reviews. Long-lived assets, including amortizable intangibles, are tested for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Estimated fair market values of each reporting unit, based on public company comparables or discounted cash
flows, are used to determine if goodwill has been impaired while undiscounted cash flow analyses are used to assess long-lived asset impairment. If an assessment indicates impairment, the impaired asset is
written down to its fair market value based on the best information available. Considerable management judgment is necessary in order to establish the value of these assets. Changes in assumptions could
have a material impact on the financial statements. Assumptions used for these valuations are consistent with internal forecasts. Management also reviews the period of amortization or depreciation of long-lived assets, including intangible assets. During this review, we re-evaluate the significant assumptions used in determining
the useful lifes of long-lived assets. At December 31, 2005 the Company determined that, based upon a decline in operating performance during the fourth quarter of 2005, the Services reporting unit had experienced an impairment of its
allocated Goodwill. The Company then performed the second step of the impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142 using a discount rate of 18% and a revenue growth rate of 18%. Following the
completion of that step the Company recorded an impairment expense of $7.8 million. Due to a continued decline in operating performance during the third quarter of 2006, the Company determined that the Services reporting unit experienced another impairment of its allocated
Goodwill and performed the second step of the impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Using a discount rate of 16% and a revenue growth rate of 5%, the Company recognized an impairment
of $10.7 million as of September 30, 2006. Also refer to financial statement footnote 6. 29
Investments We record an impairment charge when we believe an investment asset has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating
results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly
requiring an impairment charge in the future. Derivatives In December 2005, the Company issued 1.3 million warrants to purchase common stock to several investors and as issuance costs, in connection with a private placement. The Company is required to
carry these warrants on its balance sheet at fair value and the unrealized changes in the value of these warrants are reflected in net loss as changes in fair values of warrants to purchase common stock. Such
changes in fair value are recorded as a gain or loss within operations. Contingencies and Litigation We evaluate contingent liabilities including threatened or pending litigation in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” and record accruals when the outcome of these matters is
deemed probable and the liability is reasonably estimable. We make these assessments based on the facts and circumstances and in some instances based in part on the advice of outside legal counsel. If
actual results differ from estimates made, expense recognized would be adjusted in the period that the differences became known and the difference could be material. Financial Performance Summary Viewpoint reported total revenue of $17.2 million for 2006, compared to $25.3 million for 2005, and $14.5 million for 2004. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $10.5 million,
compared to $17.7 million, and $11.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. The decrease in gross profit in 2006 compared to 2005 was due to the
expiration of a 2003 license agreement with AOL in 2005. In addition the Company experienced a $3.1 million decrease in search revenue, a 98% margin business. This was partially offset by strong growth
from the ad systems product portfolio. The improvement in gross profit in 2005 compared to 2004 was due to increased revenues from the higher margin search and ad systems products, of $6.7 million and
$5.1 million, respectively. Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $19.6 million compared to $10.8 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increased
operating loss in 2006 was attributable primarily to the $7.2 million decrease in gross margin and a goodwill impairment increase of $2.9 million associated with the services unit resulting from further
decreased performance of that unit in the third quarter of 2006. The increased operating loss in 2005 compared to 2004 was attributable primarily to the $7.8 million goodwill impairment in 2005. The
Company also recognized an additional $1.5 million in non-cash stock based compensation charges in 2005 compared to 2004. The Company recognized a net loss of $19.7 million, or $(0.30) per share in 2006, compared to a net loss of $10.6 million, or $(0.18) per share in 2005, and $9.7 million, or $(0.18) per share in 2004. The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $4.3 million at December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash used in operations amounted to $5.8
million. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $285.6 million. The Company has incurred negative cash flows and net losses since inception. Based on current operating
levels combined with limited capital resources, financing operations during 2007 will require that the Company improve operating results through cost cutting measures, increases in revenues or both, and/or
raise sufficient additional equity or debt capital. If the Company’s expected revenue targets are not achieved, or the Company fails to raise sufficient equity or debt capital, management would implement
cost reduction measures including work force reduction as well as reduction in overhead costs and capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain positive cash
flows 30
from operations or profitability. The Company currently has no commitment for additional financing and may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any
financing the Company obtains may contain covenants that restrict the Company’s freedom to operate the business or may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock and
may dilute the Company’s current shareholders’ ownership interest in Viewpoint. All these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and may materially and
adversely affect our stock price. Based on the above factors our independent registered public accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their report for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 with respect to our ability
to continue as a going concern. Revenues

14,532 Viewpoint offers an online advertising campaign management and deployment product. This system, known as the “Unicast Ad Platform” (“UAP”), permits publishers, advertisers, and their agencies
to manage the process of deploying online advertising campaigns. The Company charges customers on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) impression basis, and recognizes revenue when the impressions are
served, so long as all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. The Company expects revenues from advertising systems to grow in future quarters. The Company also provides another advertising
services product whereby the Company purchases media space from web-site publishers and re-sells that space to advertisers. The Company acts as a principal party in the transaction, assumes the title to
the media space purchased, and assumes the risks of collection and therefore recognizes the entire amount billed to the customer as revenue, and the cost of the media space as cost of sales. Additionally, in March 2004 Viewpoint entered the internet search business, by launching the Viewpoint Toolbar. Search revenue is generated when a customer uses the Viewpoint Toolbar to search
the internet, and clicks on a sponsored advertisement included in the search results. The Viewpoint Toolbar’s search results are provided by Yahoo!, who collects a fee from the advertiser and remits a
percentage of the fee to Viewpoint. Revenue generated is a function of the number of Viewpoint Toolbars performing searches, the number of searches that are sponsored by advertisers, the number of
advertisements that are clicked on by Viewpoint Toolbar searchers, the rate advertisers pay for those advertisements, and the percentage retained by Yahoo! for providing the results. Viewpoint has a creative services group that builds content in the Viewpoint format for customers. Viewpoint charges customers fees for these services based on the estimated time and materials to
complete a creative project for the customer including an acceptable profit margin. Revenue is recognized on a pattern of performance basis if all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. Prior to 2006, the Company also generated revenues by selling licenses to the Viewpoint graphical platform principally to internet content publishers. In June 2005, Viewpoint announced that for all
non-special-purpose-licenses, it was discontinuing the practice of charging customers a license fee for the use of the Viewpoint Media Player and related technologies. The Viewpoint Media Player will no
longer require a broadcast key to display content, thereby giving all developers a free license to the Viewpoint Distribution Network. However, Viewpoint will still charge for certain licenses requiring
customization. By providing the standard license for free, the Company plans to extend the Viewpoint Media Player’s reach into new channels of distribution beyond the estimated 120 million computers it
currently resides 31
within. Viewpoint believes that this strategy supports the advertising business—by potentially making the player more pervasive—as well as providing stronger distribution for the search businesses. During October 2003, the Company entered into an amended license agreement with America Online, Inc. (“AOL”) which provided for payments by AOL of $10.0 million which were received in the
fourth quarter of 2003. The agreement contains multiple elements consisting of a perpetual broadcast license, a perpetual source code license, quarterly updates to the source code through December 2005,
and maintenance and consulting services. The Company recognized revenue from this agreement ratably as license and services revenue through December 2005, which represents the duration of the
Company’s obligation for post-contract support of the source code element, including quarterly upgrades and maintenance requirements. Approximately $0.9 million was recognized each quarter of 2005 as
related party license revenue and $0.2 million as related party services revenue. Advertising systems revenues were $7.3 million in 2006 compared to $5.4 million in 2005. The increase in revenues was due to the increased investment in the sales and marketing and research and
development of the advertising system products, as well as the industry trend of transferring more advertising spend from traditional media to the internet. The Company expects this increased investment
and online advertising industry growth to continue in 2007. Search revenues were $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $9.4 million for 2005. Search revenues are generated when users of the Viewpoint Toolbar are provided search
results from advertisers that they click to view. These advertisers then pay a fee to Yahoo!, who remits a percentage of the fee to Viewpoint. The Company had installed 21.4 million Viewpoint Toolbars
through December 31, 2005, 22.6 million through March 31, 2006, 23.9 through June 30, 2006, 25.3 million through September 30, 2006 and 26.6 million through December 31, 2006. Internet users can
uninstall the Viewpoint Toolbar, and through December 31, 2006, 13.4 million users who had accepted the installation of the Toolbar had later uninstalled it. The Company experienced a decrease in
installations as well as a decrease in the cost per click of the installed toolbars in 2006. If the Company is unable to increase installation or the cost per click, search revenue will continue to decline in 2007. Service revenues of $3.5 million decreased $1.8 million or 34% compared to $5.3 million in 2005. The Company experienced a decline in revenue from the automotive sector and slower growth in
revenue from the development of creative products and activities. The decrease in service revenues in 2006 triggered goodwill impairment in this segment. The Company expects revenues in this segment to
increase in 2007, though not to the levels of 2005. The Company did not recognize related party service revenues in 2006 compared to $1.1 million for 2005. The decrease is the result of the change in related party status of AOL who had a
representative on the Company’s Board of Directors until December 31, 2003. Agreements for services executed prior to that date have been accounted for as related party revenue. License revenues were minimal in 2006 resulting from the Company discontinuing the practice of charging customers a license fee for using the Viewpoint Media Player. License revenues of $0.6
million in 2005 decreased slightly compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. Revenues in this product line principally represented the amortization of 12 month licenses sold in prior periods. The
Company discontinued the practice of charging customers a license fee in June 2005. Currently, the Company only charges for special purpose licenses that require customization. The Company did not recognize related party license revenue in 2006 as the related party license revenues from 2005 and 2004 were attributable to a 27 month agreement with AOL that was executed
in October 2003 and expired in December 2005. 32

% Cost of revenues from advertising systems was $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $3.7 million and $0.1 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. These costs consist of the
web-hosting and employee fees associated with serving advertising content, costs for media space at websites when we package the media space with delivery, and costs of developing certain advertisements
in contracts that include a combined price for developing creative material and delivering that material. The Company is continually evaluating pricing for hosting services in order to reduce the delivery
expenses to the greatest extent practicable. As advertising system revenue increases, expenses for bandwidth will also increase, however, the Company believes that costs as a percentage of revenue will
decrease since it expects to receive improved pricing efficiencies for hosting and delivery services. The Company incurs cost of revenues related to Search revenue for the hosting services associated with providing search results. Bandwidth costs utilized in providing results have been minimal, and the
Company believes these costs will stay consistent. Cost of revenues for services consists primarily of salaries, consulting fees and overhead for those who provide fee-based content creation and engineering professional services. Cost of revenues for
services was $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $3.7 million in 2005. The decrease in cost of revenue for services was due to a decrease in third party services work associated
with the $2.9 million decrease in total services revenue. The Company believes that the costs for services as a percentage of revenue will remain fairly constant in 2007. Cost of revenues for services was $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $3.3 million in 2004. The increase in expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries of $0.3
million. Services expenses as a percentage of services revenues increased from 45% of revenues in 2004 to 58% in 2005. The increase was principally due to a reduction in higher margin maintenance
revenues in 2005 as compared to 2004. Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $0.8 million or 15% compared to the same period last year. The increase was principally due to an
increase in personnel costs in sales and marketing reflecting an increased focus by the Company in this area. The Company believes that sales and marketing expenses will remain constant in 2007 Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 37%, for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was principally due to an increase in
personnel costs in sales and marketing associated with the Unicast acquisition. Personnel costs including commissions increased by $1.2 million, in addition to ad systems marketing costs which increased by
$0.2 million. This was offset by a decrease in search marketing costs of $0.3 million related to the launch of the search business in the first quarter of 2004. 33

% Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for software developers, and contracted development related to the Company’s product development efforts. The
Company expenses as incurred research and development costs necessary to establish the technological feasibility of its internally developed software products and technologies. To date, the establishment
of technological feasibility of the Company’s products and general release has substantially coincided. As a result, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs since costs qualifying for
such capitalization have not been significant. Additionally, the Company capitalizes costs of software, consulting services, hardware and payroll-related costs incurred to purchase or develop internal-use
software during the application development stage. The Company expenses costs incurred during preliminary project assessment. The Company’s research and development efforts are primarily directed at creating new technology in an effort to improve the overall quality of Viewpoint’s products: the Viewpoint Media Player and
Enliven, its proprietary software tools for creating digital content; advertising systems products; and the Viewpoint Toolbar. Research and development expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or 13%, for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The change resulted directly from a decrease in
salaries, severance, and overtime. The decrease in 2006 came after the development of a number of key features in 2005. The Company is staying focused on monetizing these features in 2007 and beyond. Research and development expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 31%, for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The most significant change resulted from salaries
which increased by $0.9 million associated with employees added as a result of the Unicast acquisition. In addition, the Company’s research and development team created a new advertising platform used
to host the ad serving business. General and administrative

employees associated with the Unicast acquisition and reclassifications of certain employees to this department. Bad debt expense increased $0.1 million principally due to receipt of a payment in 2004 from

) Interest expense consists of interest paid and accrued, and amortization of debt discount and debt issue costs on the Company’s outstanding Unicast and subordinated notes. In 2005, as a result of the Unicast acquisition, the Company assumed $2.8 million of debt, which caused the increase in interest expense for the year. The debt includes $1.0 million of unsecured debt
bearing an interest rate of 5% per annum that matures in 2011, and a $1.8 million five year term loan maturing in 2011 with an interest rate of 5% per annum. The Company issued convertible notes with a principal balance of $7.0 million on December 31, 2002, then subsequently redeemed $3.3 million of the notes at par, exchanged $1.0 million of the notes
for common stock and exchanged $2.7 million of the notes for new notes on March 25, 2003. Additionally, the Company issued $3.5 million of subordinated notes on March 26, 2003. The $6.2 million
aggregate principal balances of the convertible and subordinated notes were at an interest rate of 4.95% per annum. The $2.7 million of convertible notes were converted in 2004 into 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company paid down $0.4 million of the subordinated notes in March 2006 and
extended the maturity period of the remaining $3.1 million from March 2006 to March 2008. In March 2007, the Company and the holder of the subordinated debt amended the 4.95% subordinated note in the principal amount of $3.1 million to extend the maturity date from March 31, 2008 to
September 30, 2009 and waive the requirement that the Company’s common stock remain listed on a national stock exchange, as defined, until December 31, 2008, in exchange for the payment by
Viewpoint of $0.2 million to the Holder of the subordinated note, and adding $0.3 million to the principle of the note. Changes in fair value of warrants to purchase common stock and conversion options of

Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” the Company recorded a gain of $0.5 million in 2006 and $1.2 million in 2005 based on the changes in fair values of the outstanding warrants to purchase
common stock due to the decrease in the value of the Company’s common stock. In 2004, the 36

Company recognized a loss of $4.2 million based on the changes in fair value of the conversion options of the convertible notes of $3.0 million and warrants to purchase common stock of $1.2 million. Gains
and losses are calculated based upon changes in the Company’s common stock value and the number of common stock equivalents that the associated financial instruments may be settled in. The expenses in this area in 2007 will be driven by changes in the Company’s common stock price that is beyond the control of the Company. This account will experience an increase in expense if the
Company’s stock price increases. Loss on conversion of debt

The Company did not record an adjustment to net loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax, in 2006. During the years ended December 31, 2005, and 2004, the Company recorded an
adjustment to net loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax, of $0.1 million and $0.1 million respectively, as a result of changes in estimates related to accounts receivable and liabilities of the
discontinued business. Changes in estimates, which are not expected to be significant, will be accounted for prospectively and included in adjustment to net loss on disposal of discontinued operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB SFAS Nos. 133 and 140”. This Statement amends FASB SFAS No.
133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS 155 resolves
issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments
acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will materially impact our consolidated financial
statements. In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN
48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not, of being
sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect, if any, of the change in accounting principle 37
recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating and do not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will materially impact our consolidated financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157). FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures
about fair value measurements. We will be required to adopt the provisions of FAS 157 beginning with our first quarter ending March 31, 2008. We do not believe that the adoption of the provisions of FAS
157 will materially impact our consolidated financial statements. In February 2007, FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (" FAS 159"). FAS 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years after November 15, 2007. We do not believe that the adoption of the
provisions of FAS 159 will materially impact our consolidated financial statements. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $4.3 million at December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash used in operations amounted to $5.8
million. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $285.6 million. The Company has incurred negative cash flows and net losses since inception. Based on current operating
levels combined with limited capital resources, financing operations during 2007 will require that the Company improve operating results through cost cutting measures, increases in revenues or both, and/or
raise sufficient additional equity or debt capital. If the Company’s expected revenue targets are not achieved, or the Company fails to raise sufficient equity or debt capital, management would implement
cost reduction measures including work force reduction as well as reduction in overhead costs and capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain positive cash
flows from operations or profitability. The Company currently has no commitment for additional financing and may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any
financing the Company obtains may contain covenants that restrict the Company’s freedom to operate the business or may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock and
may dilute the Company’s current shareholders’ ownership interest in Viewpoint. All these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and may materially and
adversely affect our stock price. Based on the above factors our independent registered public accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their report for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 with respect to our ability
to continue as a going concern. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $4.3 million at December 31, 2006, as compared to $9.1 million at December 31, 2005 and $8.7 million at December 31, 2004. There were no
off-balance sheet arrangements for the periods presented.

9,242 Operating activities In 2006, cash used in operating activities was $5.8 million, remaining relatively constant compared to 2005. The difference in the use of cash was caused by the increase in net loss of $9.1 million offset
by $4.6 million in related party deferred revenue which was recognized as revenue in 2005 and an additional $2.9 million in impairment expense. The $4.6 million related party deferred revenue represented
cash received in 2003 relating to the 2003 AOL agreement. In 2005, cash used in operating activities was $6.0 million, a decrease of $3.7 million from 2004. The decrease in use of cash was caused by a net increase in search revenue. The Company had a net loss
of 38
$10.6 million including a non-cash impairment charge of $7.8 million, as compared to a net loss of $9.7 million in 2004 with no impairment charge. In 2004 cash used in operating activities was $9.7 million, an increase of $5.6 million compared to 2003. The use of cash was caused by $9.7 million in net loss increased by the recognition of $5.1 million
in revenue principally associated with the $9 million AOL amended license agreement that was executed and paid in the fourth quarter of 2003. Revenue for this agreement is recognized ratably over the
nine quarters ending in December 2005. Additionally, outstanding billings for our new search and advertising systems segments increased by over $2.0 million in comparable fourth quarters which
contributed to an increase of $1.9 million in accounts receivable. This was offset by several non-cash expenses that impacted the net loss including the $4.2 million non-cash loss related to the change in fair
value of warrants to purchase common stock and conversion feature of the convertible debt caused by the increase in the Company’s share price. Additionally non-cash stock based compensation,
depreciation and amortization, and write-off of debt discount and issuance cost, and the loss related to the conversion of debt and issuance of stock below fair market value related to the private placement
in March 2004 totaled $2.6 million decreasing the use of cash by operating activities. Investing activities In 2006, cash provided by investing activities was $1.9 million, attributable to net proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable securities of $2.6 million, offset by capital expenditures for fixed
assets and patents and trademarks of $0.7 million. In 2005, cash used by investing activities was $0.7 million, attributable to capital expenditures of $0.4 million, and $0.5 million related to the acquisition of Unicast, offset by net proceeds from short-
term marketable securities of $0.2 million. In 2004, cash used by investing activities was $1.8 million, primarily due to net purchases of short-term marketable securities of $1.4 million. Capital expenditures were $0.4 million. Financing activities In 2006, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 million, caused primarily by $2.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by repayment of notes outstanding of $0.8
million. In 2005, net cash provided by financing activities was $7.2 million, caused primarily by the private placements in the second and fourth quarters amounting to $6.8 million net of issuance costs. In 2004, net cash provided by financing activities was $9.2 million. This resulted from the issuance of 1.5 million shares of common stock to an institutional investor, who had previously purchased
Convertible Notes (“Convertible Notes”) on March 17, 2004 for $3.7 million and the issuance of 1.9 million shares of common stock to a private investor in December 2004 for $5.0 million. Proceeds from
the exercise of stock options totaled $0.6 million. Long-Term Debt The Company issued convertible notes with a principal balance of $7.0 million on December 31, 2002, then subsequently redeemed $3.3 million of the notes at par, exchanged $1.0 million of the notes
for common stock and exchanged $2.7 million of the notes for new notes on March 25, 2003. Additionally, the Company issued $3.5 million of subordinated notes on March 26, 2003. The $6.2 million
aggregate principal balances of the convertible and subordinated notes were at an interest rate of 4.95% per annum. The $2.7 million of convertible notes were converted in 2004 into 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company paid down $0.4 million of the subordinated notes in March 2006 and
extended the maturity period of the remaining $3.1 million from March 2006 to March 2008. In March 2007, the Company and a holder of the subordinated debt amended the 4.95% subordinated note in the principal amount of $3.1 million (referred to herein as the “Holder”) to extend the
maturity date from March 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009 in exchange for the payment by Viewpoint of $0.2 million to the Holder of the subordinated note, and adding $0.3 million to the 39
principle of the note. In addition, the amended note also extended the aforementioned de-listing covenant until December 31, 2008. Other Transactions On December 1, 2004, Viewpoint Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Unicast Communications Corp. (“Unicast”). The transaction closed on
January 3, 2005, and Viewpoint assumed ownership of Unicast as a wholly owned subsidiary at that date. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was $3.5 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Viewpoint issued an aggregate of 1.1 million shares of Viewpoint common stock, with a fair value of $3.0 million to the selling stockholders of Unicast and paid $0.4
million in cash and acquisition costs of $0.1 million. Viewpoint also assumed negative net working capital from Unicast of $1.8 million. Based upon the working capital calculation during the period
following the acquisition Viewpoint has no additional obligation to issue shares or pay cash to the seller. Additionally, long-term debt issued by Unicast (“Unicast notes”) remains outstanding at the Unicast subsidiary level following the closing. This debt is comprised primarily of two notes. Unicast issued
an unsecured promissory note dated February 27, 2004 in the principal amount of $1.0 million. This promissory note bears interest at 5% per annum, compounding annually, and matures in February 2011.
No payments of principal or interest are due until the maturity date. In addition, Unicast issued an amended and restated secured promissory note dated February 27, 2004 in the principal amount of $2.0
million. This promissory note bears interest of 5% per annum and is collateralized by substantially all of the Unicast subsidiary’s assets. Concurrently with the closing of the Unicast acquisition, Viewpoint
made a payment of $0.3 million to the secured note holder which was applied towards reducing the amount outstanding under the promissory note. Viewpoint will become an additional obligor under the
promissory note and Viewpoint’s assets will become additional collateral to secure the obligations if certain contingencies occur, such as Viewpoint’s failure to operate the Unicast ad-serving business
through the Unicast subsidiary or the ad-serving business fails to achieve certain revenue targets. In October 2003, the Company entered into an amended license agreement with AOL which provided for payments by AOL of $10.0 million. The agreement contains multiple elements consisting of a
perpetual broadcast license, a perpetual source code license, quarterly updates to the source code through December 2005, and maintenance and consulting services. The Company recognized revenue from
this agreement ratably through December 31, 2005, which represented the duration of the Company’s obligation for post-contract customer support including quarterly upgrades and maintenance
requirements. In December 2005, the Company sold 5.1 million shares of common stock and warrants in a private placement to several investors for $5.1 million. The warrants were to purchase an additional 1.0
million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share with a term of three years. In addition, pursuant to this private placement we issued warrants to purchase 0.2 million shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share with a term of five years, and paid $0.3 million as issuance costs in the transaction. In July 2005, the Company sold 1.3 million shares of stock in a private
placement for $2.0 million or $1.55 per share. From March through June, 2004 Viewpoint converted $2.7 million of convertible debt to equity. Additionally, in March 2004 the Company sold 1.5 million
shares of stock in a private placement for $3.7 million or $2.45 per share. Finally, in December 2004, the Company sold 1.9 million shares of common stock in a private placement for $5.0 million or $2.65
per share. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had cash commitments totaling approximately $9.1 million through 2011, related to long-term convertible notes, employee agreements, future minimum lease
payments for office space, and equipment. 40

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk The Company is subject to concentration of credit risk and interest rate risk related to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company has no derivative financial instruments other than
warrants to purchase its own common stock as of December 31, 2006. Credit risk is managed by limiting the amount of securities placed with any one issuer, investing in high-quality marketable securities
and securities of the U.S. government and limiting the average maturity of the overall portfolio. The majority of the Company’s portfolio, which is classified as available-for-sale, is composed of fixed income
securities that are subject to the risk of market interest rate fluctuations, and all of the Company’s securities are subject to risks associated with the ability of the issuers to perform their obligations under
the instruments. The Company may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities, which have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates. 41

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of We have completed integrated audits of Viewpoint Corporation’s 2006, 2005, and 2004 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below. Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viewpoint Corporation and its subsidiaries (the
“Company”) at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” on January 1, 2006. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company has incurred negative cash flow from operations and net losses since inception and has limited capital to fund future operations that raise substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a
going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from this uncertainty. Internal control over financial reporting Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 43
Viewpoint Corporation
evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP New York, New York 44

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
(In thousands)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION 1. Business and Organization Overview. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Viewpoint Corporation (“Viewporint” or the “Company”) have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As discussed in more detail in Note 2, since inception, Viewpoint has experienced substantial operating losses and
negative cash flow from operations. As of December 31, 2006, Viewpoint had an accumulated deficit of $285.6 million, and cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $4.3 million. All the above
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent on its ability to increase sales and
reduce expenses to a level that will allow it to operate profitably and sustain positive operating cash flows and/or raise additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that these sources will provide
sufficient cash inflows to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. Viewpoint is an internet marketing technology company that focuses on using its technical capabilities to help marketers effectively promote their products online. Viewpoint provides a full suite of
digital products, services and consulting for internet marketers. Viewpoint employs its visualization technology to drive powerful customer-facing marketing tools that enable marketers to showcase complex
products in a simple way, and allows for user interaction. Viewpoint offers an online advertising campaign management and deployment product known as the Unicast Advertising Platform or “UAP”. UAP permits publishers, advertisers, and their agencies to
manage the process of deploying online advertising campaigns. This process includes creating the advertising assets, selecting the sites on which the advertisements will be deployed, setting the metrics (ad
rotation, the frequency with which an ad may be deployed, and others) associated with the campaign, ad deployment, and tracking of campaign results. UAP enables users to manage advertising campaigns
across many sites. On January 3, 2005 Viewpoint purchased all the outstanding stock of Unicast Corporation (“Unicast”), a leader in the delivery of interstitial and superstitial video internet advertisements. Unicast
delivered video advertisements for its customers using a format that complemented Viewpoint’s in-page and in-stream video advertising provided by AirTime. Additionally, Unicast generated monthly
revenues from dozens of advertisers who purchased advertising on some of the internet’s most active websites including Microsoft’s MSN, Yahoo! and America Online. The addition of Unicast significantly
accelerated the Company’s growth in its advertising systems segment. In 2004, Viewpoint entered the internet search business by launching a toolbar search product which the Company calls the “Viewpoint Toolbar” and executed a search advertising agreement with
Yahoo!, which was amended in 2006. The agreement provides that Yahoo! is the exclusive provider of search results for the Viewpoint Toolbar through March 2008. Yahoo! pays a variable fee per month
for the access to the Company’s distribution and the exclusive rights to display search results to the Viewpoint Toolbar. This variable fee is based on users’ clicks on sponsored advertisements included in the
search results provided by Yahoo!, through the Viewpoint Toolbar. The Viewpoint Toolbar’s search results are provided by Yahoo!, who collects a fee from the advertiser and remits a percentage of the fee
to Viewpoint. Revenue generated is a function of the number of Viewpoint Toolbars performing searches, the number of searches that are sponsored by advertisers, the number of advertisements that are
clicked on by Viewpoint Toolbar searchers, the rate advertisers pay for those advertisements, and the percentage retained by Yahoo! for providing the results. In July 2005, we launched version 3.0 of the Viewpoint Toolbar which includes the capability to manage digital photograph files on the user’s computer and provides the ability to share the photographs
at a website or get printed copies of the photographs for a fee. During October 2005, we released version 3.5 of the Viewpoint Toolbar and re-named it the Fotomat Toolbar. Prior to November 2006, the
Company licensed the trademark and internet url Fotomat.com for our exclusive use in connection with the internet website for photograph and printing services and computer software for organization,
editing, managing, sharing, and processing images and related data. In November 2006, we 50
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION purchased the trademark and internet url and capitalized approximately $0.1 million which will be amortized over 3 years. Our new Fotomat Toolbar provides enhanced photograph editing capabilities and
an efficient method of creating albums of photographs, which we believe will enhance the utility of the toolbars for users, while simultaneously allowing users to use the Toolbar to search the internet. Viewpoint also provides fee-based professional services for creating content and implementing visualization solutions. Clients include both content-related licensees and advertisers who use UAP as
well as internal services provided to our marketing team. The professional services group uses the Viewpoint platform, as well as a spectrum of tools and other technologies to create enhanced rich media
solutions for a client’s particular purpose, whether over the web, intranet systems or offline media and applications. Viewpoint provides the support its clients need to implement the rich media content, to
fully utilize the enhanced software, or to maximize the branding potential of the advertising opportunity. Clients supported during 2006 include America Online, Toyota Motor Services, General Electric
and Sony. Viewpoint began business in 1987 as a software maker focused primarily on products that enabled content authors to create images in three dimensions and to “paint” artistic images digitally.
Viewpoint initiated internet activities with the release of a beta version of the Viewpoint Media Player (“VMP”) in 1999. Simultaneously, Viewpoint released a suite of free content authoring tools
specifically designed to enable customers who published digital content on their websites to create material that can be “read” or “played back” by the VMP. With the VMP residing on the web consumer’s
computer and interpreting instructions delivered by our customers’ web sites, web sites can transmit relatively small files that can yield “rich” media on the end user’s computer. In this way, website owners
can deploy digital content representing three-dimensional views of their products, include pre-set animations, and provide high-resolution two-dimensional views, video, audio, text, and other media types.
For example, several of our licensing and creative services customers are auto manufacturers that deploy from their websites 3D representations of their vehicles which viewers can interact with by
“opening” doors, zooming in on features, configuring accessories, or swapping colors. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viewpoint and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation (See Note 6). Liquidity The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $4.3 million at December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006, net cash used in operations
amounted to $5.8 million. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $285.6 million. The Company has incurred negative cash flows and net losses since inception. Based on
current operating levels combined with limited capital resources, financing operations during 2007 will require that the Company improve operating results through cost cutting measures, increases in
revenues or both, and/or raise sufficient additional equity or debt capital. If the Company’s expected revenue targets are not achieved or the Company fails to raise sufficient equity or debt capital,
management would implement cost reduction measures including work force reduction as well as reduction in overhead costs and capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that the Company will
achieve or sustain positive cash flows from operations or profitability. The Company currently has no 51
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION commitment for additional financing and may experience difficulty in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any financing the Company obtains may contain covenants that restrict the
Company’s freedom to operate the business or may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Company’s common stock and may dilute the Company’s current shareholders’ ownership interest in
Viewpoint. Without improving operating results through increasing revenues, reducing expenses and/or raising additional capital, future operations will need to be discontinued. All these factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates impact the following transactions or account balances: stock compensation, revenue, receivables, liabilities, warrants, goodwill, and intangible and
fixed assets. Net Loss Per Common Share Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of outstanding shares common stock. Diluted per share data is computed using the weighted average number of
outstanding shares of common stock increased by the weighted average of dilutive common stock equivalent shares using the treasury stock method. Dilutive per share data has been omitted since such
amounts are anti-dilutive. Common equivalent shares related to stock options and warrants totaling 5.2 million, 9.3 million and 7.7 million for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006,
respectively. Common Stock Issuance In 2004, the Company sold 3.4 million shares of common stock for $8.7 million and converted $2.7 million of convertible debt into 2.6 million shares of common stock (also see Note 8). In connection
with conversion of debt, the Company incurred a loss on conversion of $0.8 million and the $3.1 million liability which represented the fair value of the conversion option was reclassified to paid-in capital
(also see Note 2 Derivatives). In July 2005, the Company sold 1.3 million shares of common stock in a private placement to a holder of the Company’s subordinated debt for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.0 million. In December 2005, the Company sold 5.1 million shares of common stock and warrants (“2005 Warrants”) in a private placement to several investors for $5.1 million. The warrants were to purchase an
additional 1.0 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share with a term of three years. In addition, as compensation to the underwriter of this private placement the Company issued
warrants to purchase 0.2 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share with a term of five years, and paid $0.3 million in issuance costs. As discussed in more detail below, for
financial reporting purposes, the terms and provisions of the warrants require that the Company record the fair value of the warrant as a liability at the time of issuance in accordance with SFAS No. 133
“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedge Activities,” and EITF Issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settles in, a Company’s Own Stock.”
At each balance sheet date subsequent to issuance, the carrying value of warrants are adjusted to the then current fair value using the Black-Scholes Method and any changes in fair value of the warrant are
included within operating results. 52
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION Rights Plan In July 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan, which was amended in June, 1999 and further amended in November, 2000. The stockholder rights plan, as amended, provides for
the issuance to the holders of the Company’s common stock one preferred stock purchase right (the “Rights”) for each share of common stock they hold. The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects and
are designed to protect and maximize the value of the outstanding equity interests in the Company in the event of an unsolicited attempt by an acquiror to take over the Company in a manner or on terms
not approved by the Board of Directors. The Rights will expire on August 13, 2008, unless such expiration date is extended or unless the rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company. Each Right entitles the holder to buy one
one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $38.00. The Rights are not separately traded and become exercisable only in the event that (i) a person or group of persons
acquires 15% or more (17.5% or more for Computer Associates International, Inc., pursuant to the November, 2000 amendment) (an “Acquiror”) of the Company’s outstanding common stock or (ii) a
person or group of persons commences or announces a tender offer or exchange offer that will result in such person or group of persons owning such percentage of the Company’s outstanding common
stock, in each case, on terms not approved by the Board of Directors. Upon any person or group acquiring 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock (17.5% with respect to Computer Associates International, Inc.), each Right will entitle its holder (other
than the Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiror which will be void) to buy shares of the Company’s common stock (or of the stock of the acquiring company if it is the surviving entity in a business
combination) having a market value equal to twice the exercise price of each Right. The Board of Directors may redeem the Rights at any time prior to their becoming exercisable. Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company considers its marketable securities portfolio available-for-sale as defined in SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” These available-for-sale
securities are accounted for at their fair value, and unrealized gains and losses on these securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The cost of an investment is determined
based on specific identification. Realized gains or losses on marketable securities were not material for all periods presented. The Company invests its cash in accordance with a policy that seeks to maximize returns while ensuring both liquidity and minimal risk of principal loss. The policy limits investments principally to
certain types of instruments issued by institutions with investment grade credit ratings, and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer. The majority of the Company’s portfolio is
composed of fixed income securities that are subject to the risk of market interest rate fluctuations, and all of the Company’s marketable securities are subject to risks associated with the ability of the
issuers to perform their obligations under the instruments although the Company expects all issuers to perform their obligations. Restricted Cash Included in restricted cash at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which was pledged as collateral to secure a letter of credit used for a security deposit on the
Company’s New York facility. 53
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION Goodwill and Intangible Assets All remaining and future acquired goodwill are subject to impairment tests annually, or earlier, if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach in order to estimate the
reporting unit’s enterprise value. When evaluating goodwill for potential impairment, the Company first compares the fair value of each reporting unit, based on market comparables or discounted cash flow
using a discount rate, with its carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss calculation is prepared. The impairment loss calculation
compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the
reporting unit goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. In determining fair value of the reportable units and the impairment amount, we consider estimates and judgments that affect the future
cash flow projections as well as comparable companies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. All other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives and are assessed for impairment under SFAS No.144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets.” Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 5 years. Computer
hardware and software is depreciated over 3 years, while furniture is depreciated over 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the life of the asset. Upon
sale, any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. Maintenance and minor replacements are expensed as incurred. Software Development Costs In accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,” the Company provides for capitalization of certain software
development costs once technological feasibility is established. To date, the establishment of technological feasibility of the Company’s products and general release have substantially coincided. As a result,
the Company has not capitalized any internal software development costs since costs qualifying for such capitalization have not been significant. Software Developed for Internal Use In accordance with SOP No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” and EITF 00-02 “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs,” the
Company capitalizes certain costs for software, consulting services, hardware and payroll-related costs incurred to purchase or develop internal-use software or website development, during the application
development stage. The Company expenses costs incurred during preliminary project assessment, research and development, re-engineering, training, and application maintenance. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has adopted the provisions of FAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” which replaced FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25
(“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” as of January 1, 2006. The provisions of FAS 123(R) require a company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an
award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in
exchange for the award. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as
well 54
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION as a number of complex and subjective assumptions. These assumptions include the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option
exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. FAS 123(R) also amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that excess tax benefits, as defined, realized from
the exercise of stock options be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid in cash flow from operations. As the result of the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to
utilize its deferred tax assets, the impact of “wind fall” tax benefits on the accompanying financial statements was immaterial. A change in any single assumption could significantly increase or decrease
operating expenses. For various reasons, including the expectations that additional stock options will be granted, historical stock-based compensation may not be a good indicator of future results. The Company elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to new or modified 2006
grants and to grants that were unvested as of the effective date. The Company estimated the expected term of options granted in accordance with the Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 107. The Company estimated the volatility of the Company’s common stock by
using the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term. The Company based the risk-free interest rate used in the option valuation model on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues
with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in
the option valuation model. The Company is required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. All stock-
based payment awards are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which are the vesting periods. In September 2006, the Company issued retention options to certain employees within the Company, that vest after three years. The options were valued using the same assumptions in the above table,
but due to their three year cliff vesting, the Company estimated a forfeiture rate against those options of 64% based on the history of the employment term. The adoption of FAS 123(R) had a material impact on our 2006 consolidated results of operations. The table below summarizes the assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based awards
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

52,955 The Company currently has outstanding performance awards with a fair value of $0.1 million which will vest if certain operating performance is achieved by December 31, 2007. The Company will
recognize the estimated compensation cost of performance awards, net of estimated forfeitures, when it becomes probable that the performance criteria will be met. Management’s current estimate is that
these awards will not vest and accordingly no provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements. As of December 31, 2006, total unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options was $4.1 million (excluding performance based awards noted above), which is expected to
be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years. Share-based compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 included (1) compensation expense for awards granted prior to, but not yet fully vested as of January 1, 2006 as
the Company elected the modified prospective method pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 123R, and (2) compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31,
2005, based on the grant date fair values estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). On August 25, 2005, the Company entered into a separation agreement with its chief executive officer whereby the officer’s employment with the Company would end on September 15, 2005. The
separation agreement also modified the terms of option issuances to extend the life of 2.1 million options vested at the date of separation from three months to two years. As the officer’s options were fully
vested on September 15, 2005, the date of the officer’s separation, the Company recorded an expense of $1.1 million on that date, which represented the incremental intrinsic value (difference between
market value and the exercise price of the option) on the date of modification. On June 30, 2005, upon termination of an executive officer, a prior modification to the executive’s options was determined to be beneficial to the executive. In accordance with FIN 44, on that date, the
Company recorded a non-cash compensation charge of $0.6 million. In addition, on June 30, 2005, another employee became a consultant of the Company. As the option plan allowed for this transfer in
duties, no modification expense was recognized, but the Company began to account for the options outstanding at fair market value in accordance with EITF 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That
Are Issued To Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction With Selling Goods or Services,” and recognized a compensation expense of $0.1million. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of each of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is its local currency. Financial statements of these foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars for consolidation purposes
using current rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates of exchange for revenues and expenses. The effects of currency translation adjustments are included as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional
currency 56

VIEWPOINT CORPORATION of the entity involved, are included in other income in the statements of operations. Overseas operations were immaterial for all periods presented. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended, and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101 “Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements” as amended by SAB No. 104 “Revenue Recognition.” Per SOP 97-2 and SAB No. 101, as amended by SAB No. 104, the Company recognizes revenue when the
following criteria are met: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (c) the Company’s fee is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectibility is
reasonably assured. Viewpoint generates revenues through four sources: (a) advertising systems, (b) search advertising, (c) services, and (d) software licenses. Advertising systems revenue is generated by charging
customers to host and/or deliver advertising campaigns based on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) impressions. Search Advertising revenue is an extension of the Company’s licensing revenue, and is derived
from a share of the fees charged by Yahoo! to advertisers who pay for sponsored links when a customer clicks on the paid link on the results provided by the Viewpoint Toolbar. Service revenues are
generated from fee-based professional services, customer support services (maintenance arrangements), and training services performed for customers that license the Company’s products. License revenues
are generated from licensing the rights to use products directly to customers. Viewpoint offers an online advertising system campaign management and deployment product. This system permits publishers, advertisers, and their agencies to manage the process of deploying online
advertising campaigns. The Company charges customers on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) impression basis, and recognizes revenue when the impressions are served, so long as all other revenue recognition
criteria are satisfied. The Company also purchases media space from web-site publishers and re-sells that space to its advertising customers. The Company acts as a principal party in the transaction, assumes
the title to the media space purchased, and assumes the risks of collection and therefore recognizes the entire amount billed to the customer as revenue, and the cost of the media space as cost of sales. The Company executed a search advertising agreement in 2004, and amended it in 2006, with Yahoo!. The agreement provides that Yahoo! is the exclusive provider of search results for the Viewpoint
Toolbar through March 2008. Yahoo! pays a variable fee per month for the access to the Company’s distribution and the ability to display search results to the Viewpoint Toolbar. This variable fee is based
on users’ clicks on sponsored advertisements included in the search results provided by Yahoo!, through the Viewpoint Toolbar. The Viewpoint Toolbar’s search results are provided by Yahoo!, who collects
a fee from the advertiser and remits a percentage of the fee to Viewpoint. Revenue generated is a function of the number of Viewpoint Toolbars performing searches, the number of searches that are
sponsored by advertisers, the number of advertisements that are clicked on by Viewpoint Toolbar searchers, the rate advertisers pay for those advertisements, and the percentage retained by Yahoo! for
providing the results. Viewpoint has a creative services group that builds content in the Viewpoint format for customers. Viewpoint charges customers fees for these services based on time and materials to complete a
project for the customer. Revenue is recognized on a pattern of performance basis if all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. Those estimates are reviewed quarterly, and differences are adjusted
in the period they are found. If the actual cost to complete is not consistent with the original estimates, revenues may be materially different than initially recorded. Historically, the Company’s estimates
have been consistent with actual costs. On June 14, 2005, Viewpoint announced that for all non-special purpose licenses, it was discontinuing the practice of charging customers a license fee for the use of the Viewpoint Media Player 57
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION and related technologies. The Viewpoint Media Player will no longer require a broadcast key to display content, thereby giving all developers free access to the Viewpoint Distribution Network. However,
Viewpoint will still charge for certain licenses requiring customization. Software license revenues from direct customers included sales of perpetual and term-based licenses for broadcasting digital content in
the Viewpoint format. Fees from licenses sold together with fee-based professional services were generally recognized as revenue upon delivery of the software, provided that the payment of the license fees
were not dependent upon the performance of the services, and the services were not essential to the functionality of the licensed software. If the services were essential to the functionality of the software, or
payment of the license fees were dependent upon the performance of the services, both the software license and service fees were recognized in accordance with SOP 81-1 “Accounting for Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” The pattern of performance method was used for those arrangements in which reasonably dependable estimates were available. If reasonably
dependable estimates were not available due to the complexity of the services to be performed, the Company deferred recognition of any revenues for the project until the project was completed, delivered
and accepted by the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria were met and no further significant obligations exist. For arrangements involving multiple elements, the Company defers
revenue for the undelivered elements based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of the undelivered elements and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement fee
and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of VSOE in multiple element arrangements is based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately.
For maintenance and technical support elements, the Company uses renewal rates to determine the price when sold separately. Standard terms for service arrangements, which are typically billed and collected on an installment basis, require final payment within 90 days of completion of the services. Standard terms for license
arrangements required payment within 90 days of the contract date, which typically coincided with delivery. Probability of collection is based upon the assessment of the customer’s financial condition
through the review of their current financial statements and/or credit reports. For follow-on sales to existing customers, prior payment history is also used to evaluate probability of collection. The
Company’s arrangements with customers do not contain product return rights. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due or as cash is received from the customer
assuming all other revenue recognition requirements have been met. If a nonstandard acceptance period is required, revenues are recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the
acceptance period. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method as required by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are determined based on
the differences between the financial statement and tax bases 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. Concentration of Risk The Company is subject to concentration of credit risk and interest rate risk related to cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and restricted cash. Credit risk is managed by
limiting the amount of marketable securities placed with any one issuer, investing in high-quality marketable securities and securities of the U.S. government and limiting the average maturity of the overall
portfolio. The Company at times maintained balances with various financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limits. 58

VIEWPOINT CORPORATION Carrying amounts of financial instruments held by the Company, which include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt, and accrued
expenses, approximate fair value. Derivatives The Company issued convertible notes and warrants which would require Viewpoint to issue shares of common stock upon conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants. The Company accounts
for the fair values of the outstanding warrants to purchase common stock and the conversion options of its convertible notes in accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities,” and ETIF Issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” which requires the Company to bifurcate
and separately account for the conversion option and warrants as derivatives contained in the Company’s convertible notes. The Company is required to carry these derivatives on its balance sheet as a
liability at fair value and the changes in the value from period-to-period are reflected in operating results as changes in fair values of warrants to purchase common stock and conversion options of
convertible notes. Such changes in fair value are recorded as an adjustment to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. In 2004, the convertible
notes were converted into common stock. As of December 31, 2006, the only outstanding derivative is the 2005 Warrants which have a current value of approximately $.5 million. For the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized within operating results the change in fair value of the conversion option and the warrants which was a benefit of $.5 million and $1.2 million in
2006 and 2005 respectively and a detriment of $4.2 million in 2004. The Company determines the value of the warrants by using the Black Scholes Method using the actual term of the warrants, and assumptions that are consistent with the Black Scholes option-pricing
model. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net income (loss) and other
comprehensive income (loss), which includes foreign exchange translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, are reported net of their related tax effect, to arrive at
comprehensive income (loss). Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB SFAS Nos. 133 and 140”. This Statement amends FASB SFAS No.
133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS 155 resolves
issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments
acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will materially impact our consolidated financial
statements. In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN
48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not, of being
sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect, if any, of the change in accounting principle 59
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating and do not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will materially impact our consolidated financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157). FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures
about fair value measurements. We will be required to adopt the provisions of FAS 157 beginning with our first quarter ending March 31, 2008. We do not believe that the adoption of the provisions of FAS
157 will materially impact our consolidated financial statements. In February 2007, FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years after November 15, 2007. We do not believe that the adoption of the
provisions of FAS 159 will materially impact our consolidated financial statements. 3. Unicast Acquisition On December 1, 2004, Viewpoint Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Unicast Communications Corp. (“Unicast”). The transaction closed on
January 3, 2005, and Viewpoint assumed ownership of Unicast as a wholly owned subsidiary at that date. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was $3.5 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Viewpoint issued an aggregate of 1.1 million shares of Viewpoint common stock, with a fair value of $3.0 million to the selling stockholders of Unicast and paid $0.4
million in cash and acquisition costs of $0.1 million. Viewpoint also assumed negative net working capital from Unicast of $1.8 million. Based upon the working capital calculation during the period
following the acquisition Viewpoint has no additional obligation to issue shares or pay cash to the seller. Additionally, long-term debt issued by Unicast (“Unicast notes”) remains outstanding at the Unicast subsidiary level following the closing. This debt is comprised primarily of two notes. Unicast issued
an unsecured promissory note dated February 27, 2004 in the principal amount of $1.0 million. This promissory note bears interest at 5% per annum, compounding annually, and matures in February 2011.
No payments of principal or interest are due until the maturity date. In addition, Unicast issued an amended and restated secured promissory note dated February 27, 2004 in the principal amount of $2.0
million. This promissory note bears interest of 5% per annum and is collateralized by substantially all of the Unicast subsidiary’s assets. Concurrently with the closing of the Unicast acquisition, Viewpoint
made a payment of $0.3 million to the secured note holder which was applied towards reducing the amount outstanding under the promissory note. Viewpoint will become an additional obligor under the
promissory note and Viewpoint’s assets will become additional collateral to secure the obligations if certain contingencies occur, such as Viewpoint’s failure to operate the Unicast ad-serving business
through the Unicast subsidiary or the ad-serving business fails to achieve certain revenue targets, which Viewpoint has achieved through December 31, 2006. In March 2006, the Company began making
monthly payments on the secured notes as required by the agreement. Total payments for 2006 amounted to $0.3 million. Unpaid principal and interest are payable in monthly installments through March
2011. Viewpoint recorded all working capital assets and liabilities at their fair market value on the date of the acquisition. Tangible equipment value was determined based on fair market value at the date of acquisition. The remaining useful life of this equipment was predominantly determined to be one year. Intangible
values acquired included trademarks, acquired technology, website partner relationships and goodwill. 60
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION Acquired technology was determined to have a life of three years while the other intangible values were determined to have a life of 5-10 years. Unicast had no in-process research and development. Goodwill was determined based upon the residual value based upon fair value of the common stock issued, the cash paid plus the liabilities assumed less the identifiable asset values. None of the
goodwill will be tax deductible. Consideration paid for the acquisition amounted to $3.5 million, made up of cash consideration of $0.4 million, acquisition costs of $0.1 million and the issuance of 1.1 million
shares of common stock valued at $3.0 million. The following table summarizes amounts recorded associated with the Unicast transaction, based upon the consideration paid.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is subject to impairment tests annually, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. All other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated
useful lives and are assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” At September 30, 2006 the Company determined that, based on a decline in operating performance during the third quarter of 2006 marked by a reduction of revenues from the automotive sector and
slower growth in revenues from the development of other creative products and initiatives, the Services reporting unit had experienced an impairment of its allocated goodwill. The Company then
performed the second step of the impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142 using a discount rate of 16% and a revenue growth rate of 5%. Following the completion of that step the Company
recorded an impairment expense of $10.7 million. At December 31, 2005 the Company determined that, based upon a decline in operating performance during the fourth quarter of 2005, the Services reporting unit had experienced an impairment of its
allocated goodwill. The Company then performed the second step of the impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142 using a discount rate of 18% and a revenue growth rate of 18%. Following the
completion of that step the Company recorded an impairment expense of $7.8 million. 62

VIEWPOINT CORPORATION As stated in Note 2, the Company has reclassified amortization expense amounts in the 2005 and 2004 financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation. The reclassifications consisted of the
allocation of amortization from operating expenses into cost of sales. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, amortization amounted to $0.7 million, $0.7 million, and less than $0.1 million
respectively, of which $0.1 million was recorded in cost of sales in 2006 and $0.2 million was recorded in cost of sales in 2005. No amortization was allocated to cost of sales in 2004.

AOL had a representative on the Company’s Board of Directors until December 2003. In 2003, the Company entered into an amended license agreement with AOL which provides for payments by AOL of $10.0 million which were all received during the fourth quarter of 2003. The
agreement contains multiple elements consisting of a perpetual broadcast license, a perpetual source 63

VIEWPOINT CORPORATION code license, quarterly updates to the source code through December 2005, and maintenance and consulting services. The Company recognized the fee ratably as license and services revenue, through
December 31, 2005, which represents the duration of the Company’s obligation for post-contract customer support of the source code element including quarterly upgrades and maintenance requirements. The Company has outstanding a $3.1 million note payable (face value $2.5 million) to a related party (see Note 8 and 15). 8. Long Term Debt (Also see Note 15) Convertible Notes On December 31, 2002, the Company completed a private placement of convertible notes and warrants in which it issued to three institutional investors, 4.95% convertible notes having an aggregate
principal amount of $7.0 million, and warrants to purchase 0.7 million shares of Company common stock. The warrants expired on December 31, 2006. As discussed in Note 2, pursuant to SFAS No. 133, the Company was required to bifurcate the fair value of the conversion options from the new convertible notes. In addition, pursuant to EITF Issue
No. 00-19, the Company was required to record the fair value of the conversion options as long-term liabilities. On March 25, 2003, the Company entered into Redemption, Amendment and Exchange Agreements with the three institutional investors with whom it had completed the private placement of
convertible notes and warrants on December 31, 2002, extinguishing the original convertible notes. In conjunction with the extinguishment, the Company paid $3.3 million, issued new convertible notes in
the principal amount of $2.7 million and issued 1.4 million shares of its common stock with a market value of $0.9 million. In 2004, all of the new convertible notes were converted into 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, in March of 2004, the Company sold 1.5 million shares of common stock in
a private placement to one of the former holders of the notes for $3.7 million. The Company recorded a loss on conversion of debt in the amount of $0.8 million. Subordinated Notes On March 26, 2003, Viewpoint Corporation entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with three accredited investors, pursuant to which it received $3.5 million in exchange for an aggregate of $3.5
million principal amount of 4.95% subordinated notes and 3.6 million shares of Viewpoint common stock. Prior to the amendments discussed below, the subordinated notes were scheduled to mature on
March 31, 2006. Interest on these notes is payable quarterly in arrears in cash. The subordinated notes were subordinated to the convertible notes until June 18, 2004 when the remaining outstanding
convertible notes converted into shares of common stock. The Company has the right at any time to redeem up to all of the outstanding notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of a
change in control as defined, the holders of the subordinated notes have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or a portion of the subordinated notes. The $3.5 million of proceeds was allocated to subordinated notes in the amount of $1.7 million, common stock for the par value of $0.001 for the shares issued, and additional paid in capital of
$1.8 million based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on March 26, 2003. Debt issuance costs, which amounted to $0.2 million, were recorded as other assets in the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet. The amortization of the discount on the subordinated notes and debt issue costs totaled $0.4 million, $0.7 million, and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, using the effective interest method. 64
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION Amended Notes On July 27, 2005, the Company and a holder of the subordinated debt amended the 4.95% subordinated note in the principal amount of $3.1 million (referred to herein as the “Holder”) to extend the
maturity date from March 31, 2006 to March 31, 2008 in exchange for the payment by Viewpoint of $0.1 million to the Holder of the subordinated note. As discussed in more detail below, the $0.1 million
was accounted for as a reduction in the carrying value of the subordinated debt. The Company accounted for the amended and restated note as a nontroubled debt transaction in accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt
Instruments.” Pursuant to EITF 96-19, the Company is required to account for the modification as a debt extinguishment if it is determined that the terms have changed substantially. Per EITF 96-19, an
indication of the existence of substantially different terms is whether the cash flows have changed by more than 10%. In calculating the present value of the cash flows, the Company used its current
effective interest rate of 23% (incremental borrowing rate) and determined that the cash flows changed by more than 10% as a result of the extension of the maturity date on the note. Since the terms of the
old and new notes were determined to be substantially different, the new debt instrument was recorded at fair value. In addition to the amendment of the note, the Company and the Holder entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2005, under which the Company issued 1.3 million shares of
Company common stock in a private placement to the Holder at a purchase price of $1.55 per share resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $2.0 million. The closing price of the Company’s common stock
on the date of the share purchase was $1.59. At the time of the amendment, the Holder of the subordinated note owned 13% of Viewpoint’s outstanding common stock and also had a position on the Company’s Board of Directors as of
December 31, 2006, the Holder of the note is considered a related party, therefore, the underlying amendment of the note was accounted for as a capital transaction. The Company recognized the difference
between the carrying value of the subordinated note and the fair value of the amended and restated substituted note in the amount of $0.6 million offset by the modification fee paid of $0.1 million as an
increase to the stockholders’ equity. As discussed in Note 15, in March 2007, the Company and the Holder of the subordinated debt amended the 4.95% subordinated note in the principal amount of $3.1 million to extend the maturity
date from March 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009 and waive the requirement that the Company’s common stock remain listed on a national stock exchange, as defined, until December 31, 2008, in exchange
for the payment by Viewpoint of $0.2 million to the Holder of the subordinated note, and adding $0.3 million to the principle of the note. Unicast Notes On January 3, 2005, as disclosed in Note 3, Viewpoint purchased Unicast and assumed debt which included an uncollateralized note with a principal amount of $1.0 million due in December 2011 at an
interest rate of 5% per annum and a collateralized note with a principal balance of $1.8 million which matures in March 2011 and interest rate of 5% per annum. This note is collateralized by the assets of
Unicast. The debt was discounted to its fair value based upon the prevailing interest rates at the date of the acquisition, the term of the debt, the interest provisions of the debt and the credit risk associated
with repayment. Viewpoint will accrete the notes based upon the interest-method, including interest payment requirements through maturity. As of January 3, 2005, the date of acquisition, the fair value of the collateralized and non-collateralized notes amounted to $1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company recorded interest
expense on these notes of $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively. In March 2006, the Company began making monthly payments on the collateralized
note as required by the agreement. 65

20% of their salary, up to the Federal maximum allowable limit, on a before tax basis to the 401(k) Plan. Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan are discretionary. The Company made contributions
totaling $0.1 million, to the 401(k) Plan during each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Stock Based Compensation 1995 Stock Plan The Company’s 1995 Stock Plan (the “1995 Plan”) provides for the grant to employees (including officers and employee directors) of incentive stock options and for the grant to employees (including
officers and employee directors), non-employee directors and consultants of nonstatutory stock options and stock purchase rights. As of December 31, 2006, options to purchase an aggregate of 3.3 million
shares of common stock were outstanding under the 1995 Plan, with vesting provisions ranging up to four years. Options granted under the 1995 Plan are exercisable for a period of ten years. The ability to
issue options out of this plan expired in 2005. 66

VIEWPOINT CORPORATION 1995 Director Option Plan The Company’s 1995 Director Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) provides for an automatic grant of options to purchase shares of common stock to each non-employee director of the Company.
Options granted under the 1995 Director Plan vest over one and a half to four and a half years and are exercisable for a period of ten years. As of December 31, 2006, 0.1 million options were outstanding
under the 1995 Director Plan. The ability to issue options out of this plan expired in 2005. 1996 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan The Company’s 1996 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Nonstatutory Plan”) provides for the grant to employees (including officers and employee directors) and consultants of nonstatutory
stock options and stock purchase rights. As of December 31, 2006, options to purchase an aggregate of 0.9 million shares of common stock were outstanding under the 1996 Nonstatutory Plan, with vesting
provisions ranging up to four years. Options granted under the 1996 Nonstatutory Plan are exercisable for a period of ten years. The ability to issue options out of this plan expired in 2006. 2006 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan The Company’s 2006 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Nonstatutory Plan”) provides for the grant to employees (including officers and employee directors) and consultants of nonstatutory
stock options and stock purchase rights. As of December 31, 2006, options to purchase an aggregate of 1.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2006 Nonstatutory Plan, with vesting
provisions ranging up to four years. Options granted under the 2006 Nonstatutory Plan are exercisable for a period of ten years. At December 31, 2006, an aggregate of 3.3 million shares of common stock
were reserved for future issuance under the 2006 Nonstatutory Plan. The 1995 Plan, the Director Plan, 1996 Nonstatutory Plan, and the 2006 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan are collectively referred to as “Option Plans”. Options Issued Outside the Option Plan During 2006, the Company issued 0.3 million non-qualified stock options outside the Option Plans in connection with the hiring of certain personnel. All options were issued at the opening price of the
Company’s common stock on the grant date, which was the employees first date of employment. The terms and conditions of these grants are similar to the terms and conditions of options granted under
the 1996 Nonstatutory Plan, with the exception of their vesting, which varies. There are 3.9 million shares outstanding outside the Option Plans. 67

VIEWPOINT CORPORATION The Company accrued incentive compensation expense for the difference between the grant price and the deemed fair value of the common stock underlying options, which were issued in connection
with the RTG acquisition in December 1996. At December 31, 2006 and 2005 accrued incentive compensation related to the options, which are fully vested totaled $0.5 million. 10. Restructuring Charges In March of 2006, the Company implemented a restructuring plan designed to streamline the services business. Under this plan the Company eliminated 10 positions in the services group and relocated
the management of the group from its New York office to its existing Los Angeles office. The Company incurred a restructuring charge of $0.1 million related to severance arrangements which has been
recorded separately on the statement of operations. This restructuring plan was completed by June 30, 2006 and all payments have been made. During October 2004, the Company signed an agreement releasing it from any additional obligation under the remaining lease commitment related to a 2003 restructuring. As a result of this release the
Company reversed the remaining accrued amount of $0.1 million as the Company completed its obligations under the release agreement. 11. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company leases its primary office space in New York City pursuant to various lease agreements with terms through February of 2010. The Company also leases office space in Los Angeles,
California, with a lease term through December of 2009. Rent expense for office space, equipment, and a leased vehicle for a former executive totaled approximately $1.0 million, $1.1 million, and $1.0 million, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005,
and 2004, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases for each year subsequent to December 31, 2006 are as follows (in thousands): 2007

— The tax effect of net operating loss carryforwards above excludes $0.7 million attributable to stock based compensation. This benefit will not be recognized until utilized by reducing taxes payable. At December 31, 2006, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards of approximately $218.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for federal income tax purposes, which begin to
expire in 2011. The Company’s federal net operating loss carryforward relates to the Company’s acquisitions of Unicast, RTG and Specular and the net losses incurred by the Company. The Company also
has net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for state income tax purposes, which 70
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
VIEWPOINT CORPORATION begin to expire in 2011. The Company’s state net operating loss carryforward primarily relates to the net losses incurred by the Company. The net operating loss carryforwards may be used to offset any
future taxable income, subject to potential limitations on the Company’s ability to utilize such loss carryforwards pursuant to the ownership rule changes of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 382. Inability
to generate taxable income within the carryforward period would affect the ultimate realizability of such assets. Consequently, management determined that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the
realizability of these assets to warrant the establishment of the full valuation allowance. Management’s assessment with respect to the amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable may be revised
over the near term-based on actual operating results and revised financial statement projections. 13. Segment Information and Enterprise-Wide Disclosures As discussed in more detail in Notes 1 and 2 to these financial statements, the Company has four revenue streams which are analyzed under three segments consisting of the technology-based segment,
which includes two revenue streams “licensing” and “search”, the services segment and the advertising systems segment. In determining reportable segments, management considered the nature of the
business activity whose operations are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker and for which there is discrete financial information. Licensing revenue and search revenue are
aggregated within the Technology-based segment as both revenue streams give customers the same access to the Viewpoint Media Player and the distributed network and have similar economic
characteristics. Upon the acquisition of Unicast in 2005 it was determined that Unicast goodwill solely benefited Advertising Systems, and accordingly all of the acquired goodwill was allocated to that
reporting unit. The Company does not allocate costs below costs of revenue. There are no inter-segment sales. Revenues in the Technology segment are generated based upon providing customers access to the Company’s distributed network of Viewpoint Media Players. Advertising systems revenue is generated
by charging customers to host advertising campaigns based on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) impressions. The Services segment provides creative and support services to customers who generally have
purchased or received licenses to use the Viewpoint software platform. The accounting policies for the segment are the same as the consolidated accounting policies disclosed in Note 2. 71

September 30, 2009 and waive the requirement that the Company’s common stock remain listed on a national stock exchange, as defined, until December 31, 2008, in exchange for the payment by
Viewpoint of $0.2 million to the Holder of the subordinated note, and adding $0.3 million to the principle of the note. On March 12, 2007, Viewpoint entered into a Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the outstanding partnership interests of Makos Advertising, L.P. The transaction is expected to close in the second
quarter of 2007. Under the terms of the agreement, Viewpoint will be obligated, at the closing, to pay $0.6 million in cash and issue an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to $0.4 million.
The number of shares issuable will be based on a volume-weighted average price over a five day period preceding the closing; provided that such price shall not be lower than $0.60, nor greater than $1.50.
In addition, the purchase price is subject to a net book value adjustment. 73

82,753 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure Not applicable. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures 1. Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2006. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31,
2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our Chief Executive Officer and
Interim Chief Financial Officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms. 2. Internal Control over Financing Reporting Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financing Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other
personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company. (2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and 75

(3) Provide reasonable assurances regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we concluded that as of December 31, 2006, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2006, as stated in their report which appears herein. 3. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal
control over financial reporting. None. 76
