MOVE, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business
Move, Inc. (the Company) has created an online service that enables consumers to find real
estate listings and other content related to residential real estate, moving and relocation. The
Companys web sites collectively have become the leading consumer destination on the Internet for
home and real estate-related information based on the number of visitors, time spent on its web
sites and number of property listings. The Company generates most of its revenue from selling
advertising and marketing solutions to both real estate industry participants, including real
estate agents, homebuilders and rental property owners, and other local and national advertisers
interested in reaching the Companys consumer audience (before, during or after a move). The
Company also provides software solutions to real estate agents to assist them in managing their
client interactions and architects home plans to consumers considering building a new home. The
Company derives all of its revenue from its North American operations.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company launched Move.com TM as a
real estate listing and move-related search site. Shortly after its launch,
Move.com TM replaced HomeBuilder.com®, RENTNET® and Homestore.com® and the
Company began promoting those services under the Move TM brand. The Companys
primary consumer web site is now Move.com TM which provides new home, apartment,
corporate housing, and self-storage listings and is a home information resource site with an
emphasis on content related to mortgage financing, moving and storage, and home and garden
activities. The Companys web sites also include REALTOR.com®, the official site of the National
Association of REALTORS® (NAR); SeniorHousingNet TM .com, a comprehensive
resource for seniors; and Moving.com TM which connects consumers with moving
companies, van lines, truck rental providers and self storage facilities.
2. Basis of Presentation
The Companys unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
including those for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete
financial statements. These statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which was filed with the SEC on March 13,
2006. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for a full year.
3. Significant Accounting Policy
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004) Share Based Payment (SFAS 123R) which requires the measurement and recognition
of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors
including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123R supersedes the
Companys previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the SEC
issued Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 107 (SAB 107) related to SFAS 123R. The Company has
applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R.
The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires
the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Companys
fiscal year 2006. The Companys Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified
prospective transition method, the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods
have not been restated to reflect and do not include the impact of SFAS 123R. Stock-based
compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006 was $4.2 million and $10.1 million, respectively, related to employee stock options and
restricted stock.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock options granted in accordance with
the provisions and related interpretations of APB 25 as permitted by Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 123 Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (SFAS 123). Therefore, there was no
stock-based compensation related to employee stock options for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005. See Note 8 for additional information.

4. Recent Accounting Developments
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48
(FIN No. 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN No. 48 also prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the possible impact
implementing FIN No. 48 may have on its financial position and results of operations.
In June 2006, FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-03, How Taxes
Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income
Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation) (EITF No. 06-03). Under EITF No. 06-03, a
company must disclose its accounting policy regarding the gross or net presentation of certain
taxes. If taxes included in gross revenues are significant, a company must disclose the amount of
such taxes for each period for which an income statement is presented (i.e., both interim and
annual periods). Taxes within the scope of this EITF are those that are imposed on and concurrent
with a specific revenue-producing transaction. Taxes assessed on an entitys activities over a
period of time, such as gross receipts taxes, are not within the scope of the EITF. EITF No. 06-03
is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006.
We will continue to report taxes collected from customers on a net presentation basis after
adoption of EITF No. 06-03.
5. Restructuring Charges
The Company has taken four restructuring charges: in the fourth quarter of 2001, the first
quarter of 2002, the third quarter of 2002 and the fourth quarter of 2003. All of these charges
were a part of plans approved by the Companys Board of Directors, with the objective of
eliminating duplicate resources and redundancies. The Company has also revised previous estimates
from time to time.
A summary of activity in 2005 and 2006 related to the four restructuring charges and the
changes in the Companys estimates is as follows (in thousands):

7. Marketable Securities
The Companys marketable securities are categorized as available-for-sale securities, as
defined by the SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
and are reported at fair value. Unrealized marketable securities gains and losses are reflected in
net income under the caption of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of
stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses are recorded within the statements of operations
under the caption other income or expenses. For the purpose of calculating realized gains and
losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis.
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of
$13.5 million associated with a marketable security that had previously been permanently impaired
and written off in 2001. The investment is now a publicly traded security on the NASDAQ Stock
Market.

8. Stock-Based Compensation and Charges
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based employee
compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of APB 25, and complied with the
disclosure provisions of SFAS 123. Under APB 25, compensation expense is recognized over the
vesting period based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the deemed fair value
for accounting purposes of the Companys stock and the exercise price on the date of grant.
The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123 and EITF No. 96-18 Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services.
The Company granted restricted stock awards to members of its Board of Directors as
compensation in 2003, 2004, 2005 and in the three months ended June 30, 2006. The total number of
shares issued in the three months ended June 30, 2006 was 109,500, with a total intrinsic value of
$0.5 million. These shares will vest on the third anniversary of their issuance. There were
292,200 and 619,288 unvested shares of restricted stock issued to members of the Companys Board of
Directors as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the intrinsic value of restricted stock
awards granted to the Companys Board of Directors was recorded as deferred compensation. Upon
adoption of SFAS 123R, the deferred compensation balance of approximately $351,000 was reclassified
to additional-paid-in-capital.
The Company has granted restricted stock awards to its Chief Executive Officer in
consideration for his service in 2003 and 2004. These shares will vest on the third anniversary of
their issuance. As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, there were 186,662 unvested shares of
restricted stock issued to the Companys Chief Executive Officer. The intrinsic value of these
restricted stock awards was included in the results of operations in the period in which they were
granted.
On June 22, 2006 and September 21, 2006, the Board of Directors awarded a total of 4,545,000
performance-based restricted stock units to certain of the Companys executive officers. Based on
the terms of the awards, the officers may earn shares of the Companys stock based on the
attainment of certain performance goals relating to the Companys revenues and EBITDA for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. In September 2006, one of the executive officers surrendered
405,000 shares of restricted stock units. The fair value of the remaining restricted stock units
on the grant date was $19.8 million and will be amortized over the service period. Currently, the
Company is assuming that 100% of the shares will be earned by the end of the performance period.
This assumption will be reviewed each reporting period and the total value of the awards may be
adjusted accordingly. The total costs amortized during the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006 associated with these restricted stock units was $1.9 million and $2.1 million,
respectively, which is included in the total stock based compensation detailed below.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS
123R using the modified-prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation
cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior
to January 1, 2006, but not yet vested, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance
with the original provisions of SFAS 123; and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments
granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Compensation costs are recognized using a straight-line
amortization method over the vesting period. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option valuation model that uses the ranges of assumptions in the following table. Our computation
of expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility.
Due to the unusual volatility of the Companys stock price around the time of the restatement of
its financial statements in 2002 and several historical acquisitions that changed the Companys
risk profile, historical data was more heavily weighted toward the most recent three years of stock
activity. The expected term of options granted was derived by averaging the vesting term with the
contractual term. The risk-free interest rates are based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds for
the periods in which the options were granted.

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company updated the estimated forfeiture rates it uses in the determination of its stock-based compensation expense; this change was a result of an
assessment that included an analysis of the actual number of equity awards that had been forfeited
to date compared to prior estimates and an evaluation of future estimated forfeitures. The Company
9
periodically evaluates its forfeiture rates and updates the rates it uses in the determination of its
stock-based compensation expense. The Company recorded a cumulative benefit from the change in estimate of
approximately $846,000, which reduced non-cash compensation expense in the consolidated statements
of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the Companys net income for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $2.3 million and $8.0 million lower,
respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic
and diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.01
and $0.05 lower, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account for share-based
compensation under APB 25. The following chart summarizes the stock-based compensation and charges
that have been included in the following captions for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

Stock-based compensation and charges in sales and marketing includes costs related to vendor
agreements and general and administrative includes costs related to the amortization of restricted
stock grants.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share had the
Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock options granted under
the Companys equity-based compensation plans for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2005. For the purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the grant-date fair value of the Companys
stock options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amortized over the
stock-options vesting periods (in thousands, except per share amounts).

The basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income, adjusted for
dividends related to the Companys preferred stock during the periods they were outstanding, by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For periods in which the
Company generated income when the preferred stock was outstanding, the two-class method was used to
calculate basic earnings per share whereby net income, adjusted for dividends related to the
Companys preferred stock, is allocated on a pro-rata basis between common and preferred
stockholders, as required by EITF Issue 03-6 Participating Securities and the
Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, due to the preferred stockholders right to
participate in dividends declared on the Companys common stock.
The diluted net income per common share generally would assume the conversion of the preferred
stock into common stock, if dilutive, and also incorporates the incremental impact of shares
issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and the impact of unvested
restricted stock awards. However, since the impact to diluted earnings per share of the assumed
conversion of the convertible preferred stock into common stock is anti-dilutive, 24,516,044 shares
were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants is
calculated by applying the treasury method. Common shares related to the stock options and
warrants where the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Companys common shares
or the assumed exercise would have been anti-dilutive during the periods presented were also
excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. The total number of shares excluded from
the diluted net income per common share computation were 30,468,381 and 25,923,132 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, and 5,820,862 and 8,300,748 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.
10. Segment Information
Segment information is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information. This standard is based on a management approach, which
requires segmentation based upon the Companys internal organization and disclosure of revenue and
operating expenses based upon internal accounting methods. The Companys management evaluates
performance and allocates resources based on two segments consisting of Real Estate Services for
those products and services offered to industry professionals trying to reach new movers and manage
their relationships with them and Move-Related Services for those products and services offered to
other advertisers who are trying to reach those consumers in the process of a move. We have
reclassified previously reported segment information to conform to the current period presentation.
This is consistent with the data that is made available to our management to assess performance
and make decisions.
The expenses presented below for each of the business segments include an allocation of
certain corporate expenses that are identifiable and benefit those segments and are allocated for
internal management reporting purposes. The unallocated expenses are those corporate overhead expenses that are not directly attributable to a segment and include:
corporate expenses, such as finance, legal, internal business systems, and human resources;
amortization of intangible assets and stock-based charges. There is no inter-segment revenue.
Assets and liabilities are not fully allocated to segments for internal reporting purposes.
Summarized information, by segment, as excerpted from internal management reports is as
follows (in thousands):

11. Settlement of Securities Class Action Lawsuit and Potential Obligations to Cendant Corporation
Beginning in December 2001, numerous separate complaints purporting to be class
actions were filed in various jurisdictions alleging that the Company and certain of its current
and former officers and directors violated certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). In March 2002, the California State Teachers Retirement
System was named lead plaintiff (the Plaintiff), and the complaints were consolidated in the
United States District Court, Central District of California (the Securities Class Action
Lawsuit). In August 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the Plaintiff to
resolve all outstanding claims against the Company in the Securities Class Action Lawsuit.
In March 2003, the District Court in the Securities Class Action Lawsuit dismissed with
prejudice several defendants, including Cendant Corporation (Cendant). On June 30, 2006, the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Ninth Circuit) affirmed the dismissals, but
remanded the case to the District Court to determine whether it would be possible for the Plaintiff
to amend its complaint to state a claim against any of the dismissed defendants consistent with the
Ninth Circuits opinion in the case. The Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a second
amended complaint naming several defendants, including Cendant, and the District Court has
scheduled the hearing on that motion for December 18, 2006. If Cendant is ultimately found liable
or settles the claims against it in the Securities Class Action Lawsuit, Cendant will likely seek
indemnification, contribution or similar relief from the Company up to the amount for which it is
held liable or for which it settles. However, in March 2004, as part of the Companys settlement
of the Securities Class Action Lawsuit, the United States District Court issued an order approving
the Companys settlement and barring claims by third parties against the Company for
indemnification, contribution and similar relief with respect to liability such third parties may
have in the Securities Class Action Lawsuit.
The March 2004 order may preclude Cendant from seeking indemnification, contribution or
similar relief from the Company in the event Cendant is found liable or settles claims against it
in the Securities Class Action Lawsuit. However, the Company has been advised by counsel that the
law is unclear on whether Cendant would be so precluded. Therefore, the Company would likely incur
significant expenses in defending such an action by Cendant and could ultimately be found liable to
Cendant or settle with Cendant, notwithstanding the bar order. Such expenses, liability or settlement could have a
material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations and financial position.
In addition, if Cendant is not permitted to share in the settlement of the Securities Class
Action Lawsuit (which would be the case if Cendant is ultimately found liable in the Securities
Class Action Litigation), the Company has agreed to pay or otherwise provide to Cendant the amount
of money and/or other consideration that Cendant would have been otherwise entitled to receive from
that portion of the class action settlement fund provided by the Company had Cendant been a class
member and Cendants proof of claim in respect of its shares had been accepted in full. Because
Cendants status in the Securities Class Action Litigation
13
has not been finally resolved, Cendant has not yet received any of the cash or shares of stock the
Company paid in the settlement, but rather Cendants allocation of the cash and stock is being held
in trust by Plaintiffs counsel. If Cendant is ultimately precluded from participating in the
settlement and is not barred from pursuing its claim against the Company, the Company estimates
that it would have to pay Cendant approximately $2.3 million in cash and issue to Cendant
approximately 3.79 million shares of the Companys common stock.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies Under Litigation Settlements
See Note 11, Settlement of Securities Class Action Lawsuit and Potential Obligations to
Cendant Corporation, for contingencies related to the settlement of the Securities Class Action
Lawsuit.
Contingencies Related to Securities Class Action Lawsuit and the Restatement of Our Financial Statements in 2002
In connection with the accounting matters that resulted in the Securities Class Action Lawsuit
described in Note 11 and reflected in the restatement of our financial statements in March 2002,
certain of the Companys former officers and employees entered into plea agreements with the United
States Attorneys Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in which they
acknowledge violations of federal securities laws, and the Companys former chief executive officer
was convicted by the federal district court of numerous violations of federal law. Although the
Company has no further indemnification obligations to Messrs. Wolff or Tafeen, the Company may
continue to incur additional costs in connection with the accounting matters that resulted in our
restatement, including the cost of indemnifying certain other current and former directors and
officers, and making documents available to the SEC, the United States Attorney, and other parties
in their pursuit of civil actions against the Companys former officers.
Litigation Contingencies
In June 2002, Tren Technologies Holdings LLC (Tren) sued the Company, the NAR and the NAHB
in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania for patent infringement based
on the Companys operation of the REALTOR.com® and HomeBuilder.com® web sites. Specifically, Tren
alleged that it owns a patent (U.S. Patent No. 5,584,025) on an application, method and system for
tracking demographic customer information, including tracking information related to real estate
and real estate demographics information, and that the Company has developed an infringing
technology for the NARs REALTOR.com® and the NAHBs HomeBuilder.com® web sites. Trens complaint
sought an unspecified amount of damages (including treble damages for willful infringement and
attorneys fees) and a permanent injunction against the Company using the technology. In October
2003, Kevin Keithley (Keithley) sued the Company, the NAR and the NAHB in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California asserting that he was the exclusive licensee
of U.S. Patent No. 5,584,025 and alleging the same infringement and seeking the same relief. On May
22, 2004, the Company filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) a Request
for Reexamination of the patent at issue in these actions. The Keithley action was stayed pending
the reexamination proceeding. In August 2005, the USPTO confirmed the original claims of the
patent and allowed additional claims. Accordingly, the stay in the Keithley action was lifted and
the parties have agreed that the Keithley action should go forward. On May 24, 2006, the court in
Pennsylvania dismissed the Tren case without prejudice. In September 2006, Keithley amended his
complaint to add Tren as a plaintiff. The Company believes that the claims in both the Tren and
Keithley actions are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the cases.
In March 2004, three former shareholders of WyldFyre Technologies, Inc. (WyldFyre), two of
whom had previously opted out of the settlement of the Securities Class Action Lawsuit, filed a
complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles against the Company, two of
its former officers and Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. In August 2005, the plaintiffs filed a second
amended complaint. In the second amended complaint, two of the three former shareholders allege
claims against the Company for vicarious liability for fraud allegedly committed by the Companys
former officers, unfair business practices, unjust enrichment and breach of contract arising out of
the Companys acquisition of WyldFyre in March 2000. The plaintiffs seek restitution, recissionary
or compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, disgorgement of benefits, punitive damages and
costs of litigation including attorneys fees. The Company has filed an answer to the second
amended complaint. Although most discovery in the case was stayed pending the criminal trial of
the Companys former chief executive officer who is a co-defendant in the case, following his
conviction in June 2006, discovery has resumed. The Company is vigorously defending this action. At
this time, however, the Company is unable to express an opinion on the outcome of this case.
In December 2005, CIVIX-DDI, LLC (CIVIX) filed suit against the NAR, the Company,
Hotels.com, L.P. and Hotels.com GP LLC in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The complaint alleges that the Company and the other
defendants infringe U.S. Patents 6,385,622; 6,408,307; 6,415,291; and 6,473,692. The complaint
alleges
14
that the Company and the NAR infringe these patents by offering, providing, using and operating
location-based searching services through the REALTOR.com® web site and requests an unspecified
amount of damages (including treble damages for willful infringement and attorneys fees) and an
injunction. Yahoo! Inc. was added as a defendant in the amended complaint which was filed by CIVIX
on January 11, 2006. The Company is defending both itself and the NAR. On January 26, 2006, the
Company and the NAR filed their answer and counterclaims responding to CIVIXs complaint denying
that the Company and the NAR infringed on these patents and asserted that these patents are
invalid. CIVIX has replied to the answer and counterclaims filed by the Company and the NAR. On
May 31, 2006, the case was consolidated with another action brought by CIVIX against Orbitz, LLC,
Yellowpages.com and Travelocity.com, Inc. The Company is continuing its evaluation and
investigation of the allegations made in the lawsuit and intends to vigorously defend against them.
In June 2006, InternetAd Systems, LLC (InternetAd) filed suit against the Company, Turner
Broadcasting Systems, Inc., FreeRealTime.com, Inc., Knight Ridder Digital, and Condenet, Inc. in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. The
complaint alleges that InternetAd is licensee of U.S. Patents 5,572,643; 5,737,619; 6,185,586; and
6,457,025, and that the Company infringes these patents by manufacturing, making, having made,
and/or using products and/or advertising systems through the Companys web sites. InternetAd
requests an unspecified amount of damages, as well as interest, attorney fees and costs, and an
injunction. On August 10, 2006, the Company filed its answer and counterclaims in which it denied
that the Company infringes such patents and asserts that such patents are invalid. The Company
intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
As part of the sale in 2002 of the Companys ConsumerInfo division to Experian Holdings, Inc.
(Experian), $10.0 million of the purchase price was put in escrow to secure our indemnification
obligations (the Indemnity Escrow). The Indemnity Escrow was scheduled to terminate in the third
quarter of 2003, but prior to the scheduled termination, Experian demanded indemnification from the
Company for claims made against Experian or its subsidiaries by several parties and the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC), including allegations of unfair and deceptive advertising in connection
with ConsumerInfos furnishing of credit reports and providing Advice for Improving Credit that
appeared on its web site both before, during, and after the Companys ownership of ConsumerInfo.
Under the stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold ConsumerInfo to Experian,
the Company could have elected to defend against the claims, but because the alleged conduct
occurred both before and after its sale to Experian, the Company elected to rely on Experian to
defend it. Accordingly, the Company has not made a complete evaluation of the underlying claims,
but rather receives periodic updates from Experian and its counsel concerning their defense of the
claims. The FTC action against Experian has now been resolved by stipulated judgment that
requires, among other things, that refunds be made available to certain customers who purchased
ConsumerInfo products during the period November 2000 through September 2003. The Company is unable
to estimate the amounts for which Experian will seek indemnity from it at this time. Other civil
actions for which Experian demanded indemnification from the Company continue. Because those cases
are continuing, the amounts to be paid by Experian arising from these actions for which Experian
will seek indemnity from the Company cannot be estimated. There is no assurance that Experian will
not seek to recover from the Company an amount in excess of the Indemnity Escrow. Under the terms
of the stock purchase agreement, the Companys maximum potential liability for the claims by
Experian is capped at $29.3 million less the balance in the Indemnity Escrow, which was $7.8
million at September 30, 2006.
In the opinion of the Company, the costs associated with the resolution of existing legal
claims cannot be precisely estimated at this time, and the Company has not yet determined whether
such costs will have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is party to various other litigation and administrative
proceedings relating to claims arising from its operations in the ordinary course of business. As
of the date of this Form 10-Q and except as set forth herein, the Company is not a party to any
other litigation or administrative proceedings that management believes will have a material
adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
13. Acquisition
On February 21, 2006, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Moving.com, Inc. from TMP Directional Marketing, LLC for approximately $9.6 million in cash.
Moving.com connects consumers with moving companies, van lines, truck rental providers and self
storage facilities. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The acquisition cost
has been allocated to the assets acquired based on their respective fair values. The excess of
purchase consideration over net tangible assets acquired of approximately $4.5 million has been
allocated to identifiable intangible assets and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years with the exception of
trade and domain names which have an indefinite life. The remaining $4.4 million of purchase price
represents goodwill.
15
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Form 10-Q and the following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Act provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as
they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements
identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results.
All statements other than statements of historical fact that we make in this Form 10-Q are
forward-looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and our future
consolidated results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our
actual results may differ significantly from our expectations. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, as
well as those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and
in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. This Form 10-Q
should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2005 and the Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006.
Our History
We were incorporated in 1993 under the name of InfoTouch Corporation with the objective of
establishing an interactive network of real estate kiosks for consumers to search for homes. In
1996, we began to develop the technology to build and operate real estate related Internet sites.
In 1996, we entered into a series of agreements with the NAR and several investors and transferred
technology and assets to a newly-formed subsidiary, which ultimately became RealSelect, Inc.
RealSelect, Inc. in turn entered into a number of formation agreements with, and issued cash and
common stock representing a 15% ownership interest in RealSelect, Inc. to, the NAR in exchange for
the rights to operate the REALTOR.com® web site and pursue commercial opportunities relating to the
listing of real estate on the Internet. That 15% ownership in RealSelect, Inc. was exchanged for
stock in a new parent company, Homestore.com, Inc., in August 1999. Our initial operating
activities primarily consisted of recruiting personnel, developing our web site content and raising
our initial capital and we began actively marketing our advertising products and services to real
estate professionals in January 1997. We changed our name to Homestore, Inc. in May 2002 and to
Move, Inc. in June 2006.
Our Business
We have created an online service that enables consumers to find real estate listings and
other content related to residential real estate, moving and relocation. Our web sites
collectively have become the leading consumer destination on the Internet for home and real
estate-related information based on the number of visitors, time spent on our web sites and number
of property listings. We generate most of our revenue from selling advertising and marketing
solutions to both real estate industry participants, including real estate agents, homebuilders,
and rental property owners, and other local and national advertisers interested in reaching our
consumer audience before, during or after a move. We also provide software solutions to real
estate agents to assist them in managing their client interactions and architects home plans to
consumers considering building a new home. We derive all of our revenues from our North American
operations.
During the second quarter of 2006, we launched Move.com TM as a real estate
listing and move-related search site. Shortly after its launch, Move.com TM
replaced HomeBuilder.com®, RENTNET® and Homestore.com® and we began promoting those services under
the Move TM brand. Our primary consumer web site is now
Move.com TM which provides new home, apartment, corporate housing, and
self-storage listings and is a home information resource site with an emphasis on content related
to mortgage financing, moving and storage, and home and garden activities. Our web sites also
include REALTOR.com®, the official site of the NAR; SeniorHousingNet TM .com, a
comprehensive resource for seniors; and Moving.com TM which connects consumers
with moving companies, van lines, truck rental providers and self storage facilities.
Basis of Presentation
Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the historical results of
Move, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
Business Trends and Conditions
In recent years, our business has been, and we expect will continue to be, influenced by a
number of macroeconomic, industry-wide and product-specific trends and conditions:
|
|
|
Market and economic conditions. In recent years, the U.S. economy has
experienced low interest rates, and volatility in the equities
markets. Against this backdrop, housing starts remained strong, while
the supply of apartment housing has generally |
16
|
|
|
exceeded demand. The foregoing conditions have meant that homebuilders spent less on
advertising, given the strong demand for new houses. Conversely,
apartment owners have not spent as much money on advertising, as they
have sought to achieve cost savings during the difficult market for
apartment owners. Both of these trends have impacted our ability to
grow our business. The impact of the recent rise in interest rates,
on job creation, housing starts and home sales has caused slowing
demand for homes. While interest rates have stabilized over the last
quarter, there is still uncertainty in the market about interest rate
trends and their impact on the value of residential real estate. As
a result, the number of homes listed for sale by realtors and
homebuilders has increased dramatically in the past twelve months as
sales have slowed down. We believe this slow down could increase
marketing spending on the internet and provide us with opportunities
for revenue growth. |
|
|
|
|
Evolution of Our Product and Service Offerings and Pricing Structures. |
Real Estate Services segment: Our Real Estate Services segment evolved as a business providing
Internet applications to real estate professionals. In recent years, it became apparent that our
customers valued the media exposure that the Internet offered them, but not all of the technology
that we were offering. Many of our customers objected to our proposition that they purchase our
templated web site in order to gain access to our networks. In addition, we were charging a fixed
price to all customers regardless of the market they operated in or the size of their business.
Our Top Producer® product was a desktop application that required some knowledge of the operations
of a desktop computer.
In 2003, we responded to our customers needs and revamped our service offerings. We began to
price our services based on the size of the market and the number of properties the customer
displayed. For many of our customers this change led to substantial price increases over our former
technology pricing. This change has been reasonably well-accepted by our customers.
In late 2002, Top Producer® introduced a monthly subscription model of an online application.
This had a negative impact on our revenues over the first eighteen months of this offering as we
attempted to build the subscriber base. While our desktop product was still attractive to some real
estate professionals, our customer base has shifted to the online application which will completely
replace our desktop product by the end of fiscal 2006.
Move-Related Services segment: The uncertain economic conditions from early 2001 through 2003
had an adverse effect on our Welcome Wagon® business. Our primary customers are small local
merchants trying to reach new movers and economic conditions have negatively impacted the small
business more than other businesses. These economic conditions have caused a decline in our revenue
in this segment from 2002 to 2005. We are starting to see some improvement in market conditions in
some geographic areas. Our product offerings in this segment are not as advanced as other
competitive offerings. We are in the process of modifying our products and until these are
accepted in the market, this segment may not yield meaningful growth, if at all.
Investment Strategy: We have made substantial investments in our business in recent years in
order to improve our ability to bring consumers and advertisers together. As a result of our
greater understanding of both consumer and customer needs, we have concluded that we need to
demonstrate strong capabilities in four core areas: size and quality of consumer audience, depth
and breadth of content, enduring industry relationships, and scalable business models. We recently
announced significant changes to our branding, product and pricing strategies to better align our
solutions with these core competencies.
Acquisition
On February 21, 2006, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Moving.com, Inc. from TMP Directional Marketing, LLC for approximately $9.6 million in cash.
Moving.com connects consumers with moving companies, van lines, truck rental providers and self
storage facilities. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The acquisition cost
has been allocated to the assets acquired based on their respective fair values. We have
integrated Moving.coms product offering into our new Move TM offering in 2006.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon
our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to revenue recognition, uncollectible receivables, intangible and other long-lived assets
and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to those policies disclosed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, other than those related to its accounting
for stock-based compensation.
17
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provision of SFAS 123R, which requires that compensation
expense be measured and recognized at an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments
granted under compensation arrangements. We calculate the fair value of stock options by using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of the fair value of share-based awards at
the grant date requires judgment in developing assumptions, which involve a number of variables.
These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock-price volatility over the term
of the awards, the expected dividend yield and the expected stock option exercise behavior.
Additionally, judgment is also required in estimating the number of share-based awards that are
expected to be forfeited. Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of
historical and market-based implied volatility. Due to the unusual volatility of our stock price
around the time of the restatement of our financial statements in 2002 and several historical
acquisitions that changed our risk profile, historical data was more heavily weighted toward the
most recent three years of stock activity. The expected term of options granted was derived by
averaging the vesting term with the contractual term.
We recorded stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures. In determining the
estimated forfeiture rates, we periodically conduct an assessment of the actual number of
instruments that have been forfeited to date as well as those expected to be forfeited in the
future. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the type of
award, the employee class and historical experience. The estimation of stock awards that will
ultimately be forfeited requires significant judgment and to the extent that actual results or
updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative
adjustment in the period such estimates are revised. In the three months ended September 2006, we
recognized changes in estimates related to our forfeiture rate.
If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model change significantly, stock-based
compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.
We believe the accounting for stock-based compensation is a critical accounting policy because it
requires the use of complex judgment in its application.
Recent Accounting Developments
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48) Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN No. 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN No. 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We
are currently assessing the possible impact implementing FIN No. 48 may have on our financial
position and results of operations.
In June 2006, FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-03 How Taxes Collected from Customers and
Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross
Versus Net Presentation) (EITF No. 06-03). Under EITF No. 06-03, a company must disclose its
accounting policy regarding the gross or net presentation of certain taxes. If taxes included in
gross revenues are significant, a company must disclose the amount of such taxes for each period
for which an income statement is presented (i.e., both interim and annual periods). Taxes within
the scope of this EITF are those that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific
revenue-producing transaction. Taxes assessed on an entitys activities over a period of time,
such as gross receipts taxes, are not within the scope of the EITF. EITF No. 06-03 is effective
for the first annual or interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. We will
continue to report taxes collected from customers on a net presentation basis after adoption of
EITF No. 06-03.
Legal Contingencies
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings, as discussed in Note 11, Settlement
of Securities Class Action Lawsuit and Potential Obligations to Cendant Corporation, and Note 12,
Commitments and Contingencies, to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. For those matters where we have reached agreed-upon
settlements, we have estimated the amount of those settlements and accrued the amount of the
settlement in our financial statements. Because of the uncertainties related to both the amount and
range of loss on the remaining pending litigation, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of
the liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome. As additional information becomes
available, we will assess the potential liability related to our pending litigation and determine
whether reasonable estimates of the liability can be made. Unfavorable outcomes or significant
estimates of our potential liability could materially impact our results of operations and
financial position.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Revenue
Revenue increased approximately $9.3 million, or 14%, to $75.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 from $66.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The
increase in revenue was due to increases of $6.2 million in the Real Estate Services segment and
$3.1 million in the Move-Related Services segment. These increases by segment are explained in the
segment information below.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue, including non-cash stock-based compensation, increased approximately $3.1
million, or 22%, to $17.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $13.9 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in
personnel related costs of $1.3 million, increases in material and shipping costs of $1.4 million,
and other increases of $0.4 million.
Gross margin percentage decreased to 78% for the three months ended September 30, 2006
compared to 79% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease is primarily due to a
decrease in margin in the Real Estate Services segment resulting from the launch of our new
Move TM website in May of 2006.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation
and charges, increased approximately $6.5 million, or 29%, to $28.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 from $22.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in distribution and marketing costs of $4.3 million,
increased personnel related costs of $2.0 million, and other increases of $0.2 million.
Product and web site development. Product and web site development expenses, including
non-cash stock-based compensation, increased approximately $2.6 million, or 45%, to $8.4 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $5.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005, primarily due to an increase in consulting and personnel related costs to
develop the new Move TM web site and to improve our product offerings in our
REALTOR.com®, Top Producer®, and Welcome Wagon® businesses.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses, including non-cash
stock-based compensation and charges, decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 5%, to $21.0 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $22.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.5 million decrease in legal fees
resulting from our obligation to advance legal fees to certain former officers in 2005 and other
decreases of $0.5 million, partially offset by an increase of $3.6 million in expense during the
three months ended September 30, 2006 for non-cash stock-based compensation associated with the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based
Payment, (SFAS 123R) as of January 1, 2006 and an increase in bad debt expense of $1.2 million.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets decreased approximately
$237,000 to $497,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $734,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in amortization was primarily due to certain
intangible assets becoming fully amortized.
Stock-based compensation and charges. The following chart summarizes the stock-based
compensation and charges that have been included in the following captions for each of the periods

Stock-based compensation and charges increased for the three months ended September 30, 2006
compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to the adoption of SFAS 123R as
of January 1, 2006 and the award of restricted stock units to
certain executive officers.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net, increased $1.4 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to $521,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily
due to increases in short-term investment balances and higher interest yields on those balances.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, decreased $72,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to
the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the sale of certain assets in the three
months ended September 30, 2005.
Income Taxes
As a result of year-to-date operating losses and our inability to recognize a benefit from our
deferred tax assets, we have not recorded a tax provision for income taxes for the three month
periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. As of December 31, 2005, we had $1,012.6 million of net
operating loss carryforwards for federal and foreign income tax purposes, which expire beginning in
2008. We have provided a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, consisting primarily
of net operating loss carryforwards, due to the likelihood that we may not generate sufficient
taxable income during the carryforward period to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards.
Segment Information
Segment information is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information. This standard is based on a management approach, which
requires segmentation based upon our internal organization and disclosure of revenue and operating
expenses based upon internal accounting methods. Our management evaluates performance and allocates
resources based on two segments consisting of Real Estate Services for those products and services
offered to industry professionals trying to reach new movers and manage their relationships with
them and Move-Related Services for those products and services offered to other advertisers who are
trying to reach those consumers in the process of a move. We have reclassified previously
reported segment information to conform to the current period presentation. This is consistent with
the data that is made available to our management to assess performance and make decisions.
The expenses presented below for each of the business segments include an allocation of
certain corporate expenses that are identifiable and benefit those segments and are allocated for
internal management reporting purposes. The unallocated expenses are those corporate overhead
expenses that are not directly attributable to a segment and include: corporate expenses, such as
finance, legal, internal business systems, and human resources; amortization of intangible assets
and stock-based charges. There is no inter-segment revenue. Assets and liabilities are not fully
allocated to segments for internal reporting purposes.
Summarized information by segment, as excerpted from internal management reports, is as

Real Estate Services
Real Estate Services consists of products and services that promote and connect real estate
professionals to consumers through our REALTOR.com®, New Homes and Rentals on
Move.com TM and SeniorHousingNet TM.com web sites, in
addition to our
20
customer relationship management applications for REALTORS® offered through our Top Producer®
business. During the second quarter of 2006, we launched Move.com TM as a real
estate listing and move-related search site. Shortly after its launch,
Move.com TM replaced HomeBuilder.com® and RENTNET®.com and we began promoting
those under the Move TM brand. Our revenue is derived from a variety of
advertising and software services, including enhanced listings, company and property display
advertising, customer relationship management applications and web site sales which we sell to
those businesses interested in reaching our targeted audience or those professionals interested in
being more effective in managing their contact with consumers.
Real Estate Services revenue increased $6.2 million, or 13%, to $53.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $47.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2005. The revenue increase was primarily generated by an increase in our REALTOR.com® business
driven by increased customer count and higher average spending per customer on our Enhanced Listing
Product and increased Featured Home revenue and an increase in our Top Producer® product offerings
as our subscriber base for the on-line software continues to grow. These increases were partially
offset by decreased revenue from our New Homes and Rentals businesses. Real Estate Services
revenue represented approximately 71% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
Real Estate Services expenses increased $8.1 million, or 26%, to $39.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $31.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2005. We incurred $1.3 million in expense for non-cash stock-based compensation during the three
months ended September 30, 2006 associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006.
The remaining increase was primarily due to a $4.3 million increase in personnel and consulting
costs resulting from increased product development and sales and marketing efforts, a $2.2 million
increase in distribution and marketing costs, and other operating cost increases of $0.3 million.
Real Estate Services generated operating income of $14.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to operating income of $16.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005, primarily due to the increased expenses discussed above. We have announced
plans for additional investments in our New Homes and Rentals businesses and the conversion to our
Move.com TM website could continue to negatively impact our operating income in
this segment for the near future.
Move-Related Services
Move-Related Services consists of advertising products and lead generation tools including
display, text-link and rich advertising positions, directory products, price quote tools and
content sponsorships on Move.com TM , Moving.com TM , and other
related sites which we sell to those businesses interested in reaching our targeted audience. In
addition, it includes our Welcome Wagon® new-mover direct mail advertising products and the sale of
new home plans and related magazines through our Homeplans business.
Move-Related Services revenue increased $3.1 million, or 16%, to $22.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
2005. There was a $2.4 million increase in revenue as a result of the acquisition of
Moving.com TM on February 22, 2006. The remaining increase was partially
generated by an increase in the Welcome Wagon® business through improved local book revenue and
increased on-line advertising revenue, offset by a decline in revenues from our Homeplans business.
Move-Related Services revenue represented approximately 29% of total revenue for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Move-Related Services expenses increased $4.8 million, or 26%, to $23.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30,
2005. The increase was due to a $2.2 million increase in expenses as a result of the acquisition of
Moving.com TM , increased sales and marketing costs of $1.4 million, increased
bad debt expense of $0.8 million primarily due to one customer, and other operating cost increases
of $0.4 million.
Move-Related Services generated an operating loss of $909,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to an operating income of $819,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2005 primarily due to factors outlined above. We have announced plans for continued
investments in our Welcome Wagon® business that could negatively impact our operating results in
this segment for the remainder of 2006 and into 2007. We expect that our recent acquisition of
Moving.com TM will contribute to increased revenue in this segment in the near
future, but may not contribute to profitability in 2006.
Unallocated
Unallocated expenses decreased $2.5 million or 16%, to $13.0 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 compared to $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Increases of $2.4 million in expense for non-cash stock-based compensation during the three months
ended September 30, 2006 associated with the adoption of SFAS
123R as of January 1, 2006 and the award of restricted stock
units to certain executive officers and other
increases of $0.6 million were offset by a reduction in legal fees of $5.5 million resulting from
our obligation to advance legal fees to certain former officers in 2005.
21
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Revenue
Revenue increased approximately $32.5 million, or 17%, to $218.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 from $186.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The
increase in revenue was due to increases of $22.1 million in the Real Estate Services segment and
$10.4 million in the Move-Related Services segment. These increases by segment are explained in the
segment information below.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue, including non-cash stock-based compensation, increased approximately $9.5
million, or 24%, to $49.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $40.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in
personnel related costs of $4.3 million, increases in material and shipping costs of $3.7 million
and other increases of $1.5 million.
Gross margin percentage remained relatively stable decreasing to 77% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to 78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation
and charges, increased approximately $15.1 million, or 22%, to $82.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 from $67.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in distribution and marketing costs of $9.7 million,
increased personnel related costs of $5.2 million and other marketing cost increases of $0.2
million.
Product and web site development. Product and web site development expenses, including
non-cash stock-based compensation, increased approximately $10.3 million, or 67%, to $25.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $15.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2005, primarily due to an increase in consulting and personnel related costs to develop the new
Move.com TM web site and to improve our product offerings in our REALTOR.com®,
Top Producer®, and Welcome Wagon® businesses.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses, including non-cash
stock-based compensation and charges, increased approximately $3.1 million, or 5%, to $61.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $58.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to $7.7 million in expense taken for non-cash stock-based
compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 associated with the adoption of SFAS
123R as of January 1, 2006, an increase in consulting expenses of $3.4 resulting from various
corporate projects including the planning of the relocation of our data center, an increase in bad
debt expense of $1.2 million and other cost increases of $0.5 million, offset by a decrease in
legal fees of $9.7 million resulting from our obligation to advance legal fees to certain former
officers in 2005.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets decreased approximately
$1.1 million to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $2.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in amortization was primarily due to certain
intangible assets becoming fully amortized.

Stock-based compensation and charges increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the adoption of SFAS 123R as
of January 1, 2006 and the award of restricted stock units to
certain executive officers.
22
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net, increased $3.9 million to $5.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily
due to increases in short-term investment balances and higher interest yields on those balances.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, increased $350,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the receipt of Company shares from an
escrow related to the original iPlace acquisition in 2001.
Income Taxes
As a result of year-to-date operating losses and our inability to recognize a benefit from our
deferred tax assets, we have not recorded a tax provision for income taxes for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. As of December 31, 2005, we had $1,012.6 million of net
operating loss carryforwards for federal and foreign income tax purposes, which expire beginning in
2008. We have provided a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, consisting primarily
of net operating loss carryforwards, due to the likelihood that we may not generate sufficient
taxable income during the carryforward period to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards.

Real Estate Services
Real Estate Services revenue increased $22.1 million, or 17%, to $154.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $132.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005. The revenue increase was primarily generated by an increase in our REALTOR.com® business
driven by increased customer count and higher average spending per customer on our Enhanced Listing
Product and increased Featured Home and Featured Agent revenue and an increase in our Top Producer®
product offerings as our subscriber base for the on-line software continues to grow. These
increases were partially offset by decreases in our New Homes and Rentals business and our web site
products. Real Estate Services revenue represented approximately 71% of total revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Real Estate Services expenses increased $24.5 million, or 26%, to $117.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $93.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005. We incurred $3.7 million in expense for non-cash stock-based compensation during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006.
The remaining increase was due to a $14.5 million increase in consulting and personnel related
costs primarily related to increased product development efforts, a $5.6 million increase in
distribution and on-line marketing costs, and other operating cost increases of $0.7 million.
Real Estate Services generated operating income of $37.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to operating income of $39.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, primarily due to the increased expenses discussed above. We have announced
plans for additional investments in our New Homes and Rentals businesses and the conversion to our
Move.com TM website could negatively impact our operating income in this segment
for the near future.
23
Move-Related Services
Move-Related Services revenue increased $10.4 million, or 19%, to $63.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $53.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005. There was a $5.1 million increase in revenue as a result of the acquisition of
Moving.com TM on February 22, 2006. Additionally, there was an increase in the
Welcome Wagon® business through improved local book revenue and continued growth in our Pinpoint
product and an increase in our on-line advertising revenue. These increases were partially offset
by a decline in revenues from our Homeplans business. Move-Related Services revenue represented
approximately 29% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Move-Related Services expenses increased $13.6 million, or 26%, to $66.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $52.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005. The increase was due to a $4.4 million increase in expenses as a result of the acquisition
of Moving.com TM , increased cost of sales of $2.3 million associated with the
increased book and Pinpoint product revenue discussed above, increased distribution and marketing
costs of $1.0 million, increased personnel related costs in sales and marketing of $3.3 million,
increased personnel related costs in general and administrative of $1.3 million, increased bad debt
expense of $0.8 million primarily due to one customer, and other cost increases of $0.5 million.
Move-Related Services generated an operating loss of $2.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to operating income of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2005, primarily due to factors outlined above. We have announced plans for continued
investments in our Welcome Wagon® business that could negatively impact our operating results in
this segment for the remainder of 2006 and into 2007. We expect that our recent acquisition of
Moving.com TM will contribute to increased revenue in this segment in the near
future, but may not contribute to profitability in 2006.
Unallocated
Unallocated expenses remained constant at $37.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Increases of $5.1 million in expense for non-cash stock-based
compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 associated with the adoption of SFAS
123R as of January 1, 2006 and the award of restricted stock
units to certain executive officers and increases in consulting costs associated with various corporate
projects, including the planning of the relocation of our data center, of $4.6 million were offset
by a decrease in legal fees of $9.7 million resulting from our obligation to advance legal fees to
certain former officers in 2005.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities of $13.1 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 was attributable to the net income from operations of $3.6 million, plus non-cash expenses
including depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, provision for doubtful accounts,
stock-based compensation and charges and other non-cash items, aggregating to $21.2 million offset
by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $11.7 million. This was negatively impacted in
the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 by the $9.5 million in payments for the settlement
of litigation and former officers legal expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $6.1 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2005 was attributable to the net income of $4.9 million, plus non-cash expenses including
depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, provision for doubtful accounts, stock-based
compensation and charges and other non-cash items, aggregating to $9.4 million offset by changes in
operating assets and liabilities of $8.2 million.
Net cash used in investing activities of $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 was primarily attributable to $1.2 million in net maturities of short-term investments, offset
by the acquisition of Moving.com of $9.6 million and capital expenditures of $8.7 million. Net
cash provided by investing activities of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
was attributable to $7.7 million in net maturities of short-term investments and $0.1 million in
proceeds from sale of assets, offset by capital expenditures of $7.7 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $3.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 was attributable to proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $5.2 million and
reductions in restricted cash of $0.8 million offset by payments on capital lease obligations of
$2.1 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 was attributable to the exercise of stock options of $1.6 million and decreases
in restricted cash of $0.9 million, offset by payments on capital leases of $1.4 million.
We have generated positive operating cash flows in each of the last two years. We have stated
our intention to invest in our products, our infrastructure, and in branding
Move.com TM although we have not determined the actual amount of those future
expenditures. We have no material financial commitments other than those under capital and
operating lease agreements and distribution and marketing agreements and our operating agreement
with the NAR. Our existing cash and short-term investments, and any cash generated from operations
will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other obligations for the foreseeable future.
Although our annual net losses have been decreasing and we anticipate becoming profitable in
the future, we announced our
24
new brand Move TM and certain business model changes in February 2006 that will
require considerable investment with no assurances that our future financial performance will be
enhanced by these new initiatives. Specifically, in June 2006, we changed our corporate name to
Move, Inc. and introduced our new Move TM brand, under which we now promote
three consumer offerings: REALTOR.com®, WelcomeWagon.com TM , and a new website,
Move.com TM . We will incur considerable costs in introducing and maintaining
our new brand, which may not produce the same or greater revenue than we have experienced in the
past.
In November 2005, we sold an aggregate of 100,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock for
an aggregate purchase price of $100 million to Elevation Partners, L.P. and its affiliate Elevation
Employee Side Fund, LLC (together Elevation). For so long as the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock hold at least one-sixth of these 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, we are generally
not permitted, without obtaining the consent of holders representing at least a majority of the
then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, to create or issue any equity securities that
rank senior or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or
rights upon our liquidation. In addition, our stockholders agreement with Elevation limits the
amount of debt we can incur. If we need to raise additional capital through public or private
financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements to execute our business plan, we would be
restricted in the type of equity securities that we could offer and the amount of debt we can incur
without the consent of Elevation. If we were unable to obtain Elevations consent, we may not be
able to raise additional capital in the amounts that may be needed to fund our business or for
terms that are desirable.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our
investment portfolio. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment
portfolio. We invest our excess cash in money-market funds, auction rate securities, debt
instruments of high quality corporate issuers and debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its
agencies, and, by policy, this limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.
Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carries a degree
of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted
due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than
expected if interest rates fall.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period
covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
25
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are party to various litigation and administrative proceedings relating
to claims arising from our operations in the ordinary course of business. See the disclosure
regarding litigation included in Note 11, Settlement of Securities Class Action Lawsuit and
Potential Obligations to Cendant Corporation, and Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to our
unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which
disclosure is incorporated herein by reference and updates information contained in the Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005 and in the Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006
and June 30, 2006. As of the date of this Form 10-Q and except as set forth herein, we are not a
party to any other litigation or administrative proceedings that management believes will have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should consider carefully the following risk factors, and those presented in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and other information included or
incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q. The risks and uncertainties described below are not
the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we deem
to be currently immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially
adversely affected.
Risks Related to our Business
Changes to our product offerings on our new home and apartment web sites may not be accepted
by our customers.
In the past, we have charged homebuilders and rental owners to list their properties on our
HomeBuilder.com® and RENTNET® web sites. When we launched Move.com TM on May 1,
2006, we replaced our new home site, HomeBuilder.com®, and our apartment rental site, RENTNET®,
with Move.com TM . In conjunction with this change, we began to display any new
home and apartment listings for no charge. We seek revenue from enhanced listings, including our
Showcase Listing and Featured Listing products, as well as other forms of advertising on the sites.
We price subscriptions to Showcase Listings based on regional rate cards. Featured Listings,
which appear above the algorithmically-generated search results, are priced on a fixed
cost-per-click basis. We anticipate transitioning in the future to a real-time, auction based
cost-per-click pricing for Featured Listings.
When we launched Move.com TM , existing listing subscription customers were
transitioned into our new products having comparable value for the duration of their existing
subscription. Although the customers reaction to these new products has been favorable, there can
be no assurance that our current new home and apartment customers will continue to purchase these
new offerings in amounts sufficient to both replace the listing subscription revenue we will be
losing and provide a return on our costs and investments associated with our new brand and these
new products.
We have a history of net losses and could incur net losses in the future.
We have incurred net losses every year since 1993, except for modest net income in 2005,
including net losses of $7.9 million and $47.1 million, for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively. As of September 30, 2006, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.0
billion. Although our annual net losses have been decreasing and we anticipate becoming profitable
in the future, we announced our new Move TM brand and certain business model
changes in February 2006 that will require considerable investment with no assurances that our
future financial performance will be enhanced by these new initiatives. Specifically, in February
2006, we introduced our new Move TM brand, under which we promote three consumer
offerings: REALTOR.com®, WelcomeWagon.com TM , and a new web site,
Move.com TM , and on June 22, 2006, we changed our corporate name from Homestore,
Inc. to Move, Inc. We will incur considerable costs in introducing and maintaining our new brand
and there can be no assurances that these costs will produce the same or greater revenue than we
have experienced in the past.
Move.com TM , which we launched on May 1, 2006, replaced our Homestore.com®,
HomeBuilder.com® and RENTNET® web sites. In the past, we have charged homebuilders and rental
owners to list their properties on our HomeBuilder.com® and RENTNET® web sites. With the launch of
Move.com TM , we will provide the listings for no charge and offer enhanced
listing products and traditional text advertisements. Pricing structures include monthly fixed fee
and cost-per-click based pricing. Due to the potential loss of revenue from paid listings that
could result from our new pricing structures, our results of operations could be adversely
affected, particularly through the end of 2006, as we seek to transition our customers to the new
pricing model. In addition, over the longer term there can be no assurance that this new business
model will produce sufficient revenue to cover the considerable investment we intend to make in
these new initiatives or to replace the listings revenue.
26
Confusion among consumers about our new name and the related rebranding of some of our web
sites could adversely affect our business.
Move.com, which we launched on May 1, 2006, replaced our Homestore.com®, HomeBuilder.com® and
RENTNET® web sites. On June 22, 2006, we changed our corporate name from Homestore, Inc. to Move,
Inc. Until the Move TM brand becomes recognized in the markets in which we
compete, we could experience some confusion by consumers and temporarily be at a competitive
disadvantage. Although we intend to devote substantial resources to promoting our new name and
communicating with consumers, the transition period may take longer than anticipated and our
business may, during that period, be adversely affected.
