expense, acquisition and divestiture prices, achieve on divestitures of companies,
web, strategic overview prices, litigation settlement expense, tax settlement
expense, and restructuring prices.


We use adjusted EBITDA as a key efficiency measure as a result of we consider it
facilitates working efficiency comparisons from interval to interval by excluding
potential variations attributable to variations in capital constructions (affecting
curiosity expense), tax positions (such because the impression of adjustments in efficient tax
charges or fluctuations in everlasting variations or discrete quarterly gadgets),
non-recurring costs and sure different gadgets that we don't consider are
indicative of our core working actions (reminiscent of acquisition and divestiture
associated expense, achieve or loss on divestitures of companies, strategic overview
prices, litigation settlement expense, tax settlement expense, restructuring
prices, and different expense, web) and the non-cash impression of depreciation expense,
amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense.

In addition, we consider adjusted EBITDA and comparable measures are extensively utilized by
buyers, securities analysts, scores businesses and different  events in
our {industry} as a measure of monetary efficiency, debt-service capabilities
and as a metric for analyzing firm valuations. Our use of adjusted EBITDA has
limitations as an analytical instrument, and it shouldn't be thought of in isolation
or as an alternative to evaluation of our outcomes as reported beneath GAAP. Some of
these limitations are:

• adjusted EBITDA doesn’t replicate our money expenditures for capital

tools or different contractual commitments;

• though depreciation and amortization are non-cash costs, the belongings

being depreciated and amortized could have to get replaced sooner or later, and

adjusted EBITDA doesn’t replicate money capital expenditure necessities for

such replacements;

• adjusted EBITDA doesn’t replicate adjustments in, or money necessities for, our

        working capital wants;


    •   adjusted EBITDA doesn't think about the possibly dilutive impression of

issuing stock-based compensation to our administration staff and staff;

• ought to we enter into borrowing preparations sooner or later, adjusted EBITDA

doesn’t replicate the curiosity expense or the money necessities that could be

essential to service curiosity or principal funds on such indebtedness;

• adjusted EBITDA doesn’t replicate sure tax funds which will symbolize a

discount in money obtainable to us; and

• different corporations, together with corporations in our {industry}, could calculate

adjusted EBITDA measures in a different way, which reduces their usefulness as a

comparative measure.



Due to those limitations, adjusted EBITDA shouldn't be thought of as a measure
of discretionary money obtainable to us to spend money on the expansion of our enterprise.
When evaluating our efficiency, adjusted EBITDA must be thought of alongside
different monetary efficiency measures, together with varied money stream metrics, web
revenue (loss) and our different GAAP outcomes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


We have ready our consolidated monetary statements in conformity with
accounting ideas usually accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP"). In doing so, we're required to make estimates and assumptions that
have an effect on the reported quantities of belongings and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
belongings and liabilities on the date of the monetary statements and reported
quantities of income and bills in the course of the reporting interval. Actual outcomes could
differ considerably from these estimates. Some of the estimates and assumptions
we're required to make relate to issues which can be inherently unsure as they
pertain to future occasions. We base these estimates and assumptions on historic
expertise or on varied different elements that we consider to be affordable and
acceptable beneath the circumstances. On an ongoing foundation, we rethink and
consider our estimates and assumptions.

Additionally, COVID-19 is an element which can trigger precise outcomes to vary from
estimates. COVID-19 is contributing to a basic slowdown within the international financial system
and could have an effect on our enterprise, outcomes of operations, monetary situation, and
future strategic plans. At this time, the extent to which the COVID-19 could
impression our monetary situation or outcomes of operations is unsure.

We refer to those estimates and assumptions as crucial accounting insurance policies and
estimates. We consider that the crucial accounting insurance policies listed under contain
our extra vital judgments, estimates and assumptions and, due to this fact, may
have the best potential impression on our consolidated monetary statements. In
addition, we consider {that a} dialogue of these insurance policies is critical to
perceive and consider the consolidated monetary statements contained on this
report.

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, to our consolidated
monetary statements for additional info on our crucial and different
vital accounting insurance policies.

Revenue Recognition


We generate our income primarily from charges earned by the supply of
certified inquiries reminiscent of clicks, leads, calls, purposes, or clients. We
acknowledge income after we switch management of promised items or providers to our
shoppers in an quantity that displays the consideration to which we count on to be
entitled in change for these items or providers. We acknowledge income pursuant
to the five-step framework contained in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers: (i) determine the contract with a shopper; (ii) determine the
efficiency obligations within the contract, together with whether or not they're distinct in
the context of the contract; (iii) decide the transaction value, together with
the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocate the transaction value to
the efficiency obligations within the contract; and (v) acknowledge income when (or
as) the Company satisfies the efficiency obligations.

As half of figuring out whether or not a contract exists, likelihood of assortment is
assessed on a client-by-client foundation on the outset of the contract. Clients are
subjected to a credit score overview course of that evaluates the shoppers' monetary
place and the flexibility and intention to pay. If it's decided from the
outset of an association that the shopper doesn't have the flexibility or intention
to pay, we are going to conclude {that a} contract doesn't exist and will repeatedly
reassess our analysis till we're capable of conclude {that a} contract does
exist.

Generally, our contracts specify the interval of time as one month, however in some
cases the time period could also be longer. However, for many of our contracts with
shoppers, both social gathering can terminate the contract at any time with out penalty.
Consequently, enforceable rights and obligations solely exist on a day-to-day
foundation, leading to particular person each day contracts in the course of the specified time period of the
contract or till one social gathering terminates the contract previous to the top of the
specified time period.

                                       47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We have assessed the providers promised in our contracts with shoppers and have
recognized one efficiency obligation, which is a collection of distinct providers.
Depending on the shopper's wants, these providers consist of a specified or an
limitless quantity of clicks, leads, calls, purposes, clients, and so on.
(hereafter collectively known as "advertising and marketing outcomes") to be delivered over
a interval of time. We fulfill these efficiency obligations over time because the
providers are supplied. We don't promise to offer some other vital items
or providers to our shoppers.

Transaction value is measured based mostly on the consideration that we count on to
obtain from a contract with a shopper. Our contracts with shoppers comprise
variable consideration as the worth for a person advertising and marketing consequence varies on
a day-to-day foundation relying on the market-driven quantity a shopper has dedicated
to pay. However, as a result of we make sure the acknowledged interval of our contracts doesn't
usually span a number of reporting durations, the contractual quantity inside a
interval is predicated on the quantity of advertising and marketing outcomes delivered inside the interval.
Therefore, the transaction value for any given interval is mounted and no estimation
of variable consideration is required.

If a advertising and marketing consequence delivered to a shopper doesn't meet the contractual
necessities related to that advertising and marketing consequence, our contracts permit for
shoppers to return a advertising and marketing consequence usually inside 5-10 days of having
obtained the advertising and marketing consequence. Such returns are factored into the quantity billed
to the shopper on a month-to-month foundation and consequently lead to a discount to
income in the identical month the advertising and marketing result's delivered. No warranties are
provided to our shoppers.

We don't allocate transaction value as now we have just one efficiency obligation
and our contracts don't usually span a number of durations. Taxes collected from
shoppers and remitted to governmental authorities usually are not included in income. We
elected to make use of the sensible expedient which permits us to file gross sales
commissions as expense as incurred when the amortization interval would have been
one 12 months or much less.

We invoice shoppers month-to-month in arrears for the advertising and marketing outcomes delivered throughout
the previous month. Our customary fee phrases are 30-60 days. Consequently, we
wouldn't have vital financing elements in our preparations.

Separately from the agreements that now we have with shoppers, now we have agreements
with Internet search corporations, third-party publishers and strategic companions
that we have interaction with to generate focused advertising and marketing outcomes for our shoppers. We
obtain a payment from our shoppers and individually pay a payment to the Internet search
corporations, third-party publishers and strategic companions. We consider whether or not we
are the principal (i.e., report income on a gross foundation) or agent (i.e., report
income on a web foundation). In doing so, we first consider whether or not we management the
items or providers earlier than they're transferred to the shoppers. If we management the
items or providers earlier than they're transferred to the shoppers, we're the
principal within the transaction. As a consequence, the charges paid by our shoppers are
acknowledged as income and the charges paid to our Internet search corporations,
third-party publishers and strategic companions are included in value of income.
If we don't management the products or providers earlier than they're transferred to the
shoppers, we're the agent within the transaction and acknowledge income on a web
foundation. We have one subsidiary, CCM, which supplies efficiency advertising and marketing company
and know-how providers to shoppers in monetary providers, schooling and different
markets, recognizing income on a web foundation. Determining whether or not we management the
items or providers earlier than they're transferred to the shoppers could require
judgment.

Stock-Based Compensation


We measure and file the expense associated to stock-based transactions based mostly on
the truthful worth of the stock-based fee awards as decided on the date of
grant. The truthful worth of restricted inventory models with a service situation
("service-based RSU") is set based mostly on the closing value of our frequent
inventory on the date of grant. For inventory choices, now we have chosen and used the
Black-Scholes choice pricing mannequin to estimate the truthful worth. The truthful worth of
restricted inventory models with a service and efficiency situation
("performance-based RSU") is set based mostly on the closing value of our frequent
inventory on the date of grant. Grant date as outlined by ASC 718 is set when
the elements that comprise the efficiency targets have been absolutely
established. If a grant date has not been established, the compensation expense
related to the performance-based RSU is re-measured at every reporting date
based mostly on the closing value of our frequent inventory at every reporting date till the
grant date has been established. For restricted inventory models with a service and
market situation ("market-based RSU"), now we have chosen and used the Monte Carlo
simulation mannequin to estimate the truthful worth on the date of grant.

In making use of these fashions, our willpower of truthful worth is affected by
assumptions concerning a quantity of subjective variables. These variables embody,
however usually are not restricted to, the anticipated inventory value volatility over the time period of the
award and the workers' precise and projected inventory choice train and
pre-vesting employment termination behaviors. We estimate the anticipated
volatility of our frequent inventory based mostly on our historic volatility over the
anticipated time period of the award. We haven't any historical past or expectation of paying
dividends on our frequent inventory. The risk-free rate of interest is predicated on the U.S.
Treasury yield for a time period in step with the anticipated time period of the award.

                                       48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We acknowledge stock-based compensation expense for choices and service-based RSUs
utilizing the straight-line methodology, and for performance-based RSUs and market-based
RSUs utilizing the graded vesting methodology, based mostly on awards in the end anticipated to
vest. We estimate future forfeitures on the date of grant. On an annual foundation,
we assess adjustments in our estimate of anticipated forfeitures based mostly on current
forfeiture exercise. The impact of changes made to forfeiture charges, if any,
is acknowledged within the interval that the change is made.

Business Combinations


We account for enterprise combos utilizing the acquisition methodology, which
requires that the overall consideration for every of the acquired enterprise be
allotted to the belongings acquired and liabilities assumed based mostly on their
estimated truthful values on the acquisition date. The extra of the acquisition value
over the truthful values of these identifiable belongings and liabilities is recorded as
goodwill. During the measurement interval, which can be as much as one 12 months from the
acquisition date, we could file changes to the belongings acquired and
liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

In figuring out the truthful worth of belongings acquired and liabilities assumed in a
enterprise mixture, we used the revenue method to worth our most vital
acquired belongings. Significant assumptions regarding our estimates within the revenue
method embody base income, income development price web of shopper attrition,
projected gross margin, low cost charges, projected working bills and the
future efficient revenue tax charges. The valuations of our acquired companies
have been carried out by a third-party valuation specialist beneath our administration's
supervision. We consider that the estimated truthful worth assigned to the belongings
acquired and liabilities assumed are based mostly on affordable assumptions and
estimates that market contributors would use. However, such assumptions are
inherently unsure and precise outcomes may differ from these estimates.
Future adjustments in our assumptions or the interrelationship of these assumptions
could negatively impression future valuations. In future measurements of truthful worth,
antagonistic adjustments in discounted money stream assumptions may lead to an
impairment of goodwill or intangible belongings that might require a non-cash cost
to the consolidated statements of operations and could have a cloth impact on
our monetary situation and working outcomes.

Acquisition associated prices usually are not thought of half of the consideration, and are
expensed as working bills as incurred. Contingent consideration, if any, is
measured at truthful worth initially on the acquisition date in addition to subsequently
on the finish of every reporting interval till settlement on the finish of the
evaluation interval. We embody the outcomes of operations of the companies
acquired as of the start of the acquisition dates.

Goodwill


We conduct a take a look at for the impairment of goodwill on the reporting unit stage on
no less than an annual foundation and at any time when there are occasions or adjustments in
circumstances that might extra seemingly than not scale back the estimated truthful worth of
a reporting unit under its carrying worth. Application of the goodwill
impairment take a look at requires judgment, together with the identification of reporting
models, assigning belongings and liabilities to reporting models, assigning goodwill
to reporting models, and figuring out the truthful worth of every reporting unit.
Significant judgments required to estimate the truthful worth of reporting models
embody estimating future money flows and figuring out acceptable low cost charges,
development charges, an acceptable management premium and different assumptions. Changes in
these estimates and assumptions may materially have an effect on the willpower of
truthful worth for every reporting unit which may set off impairment.

We carry out our annual goodwill impairment take a look at on April 30 and conduct a
qualitative evaluation to find out whether or not it's essential to carry out a
quantitative goodwill impairment take a look at. In assessing the qualitative elements, we
think about the impression of key elements reminiscent of adjustments within the basic financial
circumstances together with the impression of COVID-19, adjustments in {industry} and aggressive
surroundings, inventory value, precise income efficiency in comparison with earlier years,
forecasts and money stream technology. We had one reporting unit for functions of
allocating and testing goodwill for fiscal years 2021 and 2020. Based on the
outcomes of the qualitative evaluation accomplished as of April 30, 2021 and 2020,
there have been no indicators of impairment.

Long-Lived Assets


We consider long-lived belongings, reminiscent of property and tools and bought
intangible belongings with finite lives, for impairment at any time when occasions or adjustments
in circumstances point out that the carrying worth of an asset is probably not
recoverable. If essential, a quantitative take a look at is carried out that requires the
software of judgment when assessing the truthful worth of an asset. When we
determine an impairment, we scale back the carrying quantity of the asset to its
estimated truthful worth based mostly on a reduced money stream method or, when obtainable
and acceptable, to comparable market values. As of April 30, 2021 and 2020, we
evaluated our long-lived belongings and concluded there have been no indicators of
impairment.

                                       49

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Income Taxes


We account for revenue taxes utilizing an asset and legal responsibility method to file
deferred taxes. Our deferred revenue tax belongings symbolize non permanent variations
between the monetary assertion carrying quantity and the tax foundation of current
belongings and liabilities that can lead to deductible quantities in future years,
together with web working loss carry forwards. Deferred tax belongings and liabilities
are measured utilizing the presently enacted tax charges that apply to taxable revenue
in impact for the years wherein these tax belongings and liabilities are anticipated
to be realized or settled. Valuation allowances are supplied when essential to
scale back deferred tax belongings to the quantity anticipated to be realized. We frequently
assess the realizability of our deferred tax belongings. Judgment is required to
decide whether or not a valuation allowance is critical and the quantity of such
