S U MMA R Y
We have identified 80 public companies for our Web 2.0 universe with a combined market cap of almost $25 billion.
These include a wide variety of companies, including MMOG (Massive Multi-Player Online Gaming) companies, social
networking software companies, media sharing companies, and social lending companies. The average market cap for
the group is over $300 million, with average trailing revenue of $100 million. The companies are also highly profitable
with an average EBITDA margin of 16.6%. On a valuation basis, the overall average is 4.1x trailing revenue and 9.4x
trailing EBITDA. Seventeen of the companies have more than 500 employees.

THE WEB 2.0 UNIVERSE

80 public Web 2.0 companies identified: We have identified 80 public companies for our Web 2.0 universe with a
combined market cap of almost $25 billion. These include a wide variety of companies, including MMOG (Massive Multi-
Player Online Gaming) companies, social networking software companies, media sharing companies, and social lending
companies. See below for a summary of the full universe (Figure 1). Note that we have not included the large technology
and media companies such as Google, Yahoo, Disney, and Sony in our universe as they would skew the results due to
their immense size relative to the rest of the group. The average market cap for the group is over $300 million, with
average trailing revenue of $100 million. The companies are also highly profitable with an average EBITDA margin of
16.6%. On a valuation basis, the overall average is 4.1x trailing revenue and 9.4x trailing EBITDA. Seventeen of the
companies have more than 500 employees.

million to $19.0 million for the second half of 2008. The Company does not expect that China.com's preliminary planned
fourth quarter 2008 net impairment loss charges of approximately $2.2 million (after the impact of minority interest)

or GEM Market, will impact the Company's previously announced second half guidance. The company currently has

million on $50.8 million in revenue, largely because of the write-down and impairment charges. For the full year, Tree.com
 Page 10
