Company's products and services will be attractive enough to a sufficient number of Internet users to generate advertising revenues or to allow the charging of a subscription fee for certain portions thereof. There also can be no assurance that the company will be able to anticipate, monitor and successfully respond to rapidly changing consumer tastes and preferences so as to attract a sufficient number of users to its Internet sites within the demographics desirable to advertisers and advertising agencies or those users who are otherwise willing to pay to access certain portions of the Company's products and services. Internet users can freely navigate and instantly switch among a large number of Internet sites, many of which offer competitive products and services, making it difficult for the Company to distinguish its product offerings and attract users. In addition, many other Internet sites offer very specific, highly targeted products and services that may have greater appeal than the products and services offered on the Company's Internet sites. In addition, users of the Internet who do not use the most recent browser or operating platform software will have greater difficulty in accessing and navigating the Company's Internet sites than would users who use the most recent versions of such software. Such difficulty could cause Internet users to cease using the Company's Internet sites. If the Company is unable to develop original and compelling Internet-based products and services in a manner that allows it to attract, retain and expand a loyal user base desirable to advertisers and advertising agencies or Internet users whom are willing to pay to access certain portions of such Internet-based products and services, then the Company will be unable to generate sufficient advertising or subscription revenues, and its business, financial condition and operating results will be materially adversely affected and the Company may cease to be a commercially viable enterprise. Dependence on Licensed Technology; Protection of Intellectual Property: The Company is dependent upon obtaining existing technology related to its operations. To the extent new technological developments are unavailable to the Company on terms acceptable to it of if at all, the Company may be unable to continue to execute its business plan and its business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected. The success of the Company is dependent upon its ability to protect and leverage the value, if any, of its original Internet technologies, software, content and its trademarks, trade names, service marks, domain names and other proprietary rights it either currently has or may have in the future. The Company has filed service marks for its logo and name, as well as for the names of each of its sites. In addition, given the uncertain application of existing copyright and trademark laws to the Internet, there can be no assurance that existing laws will provide adequate protection for the Company's technologies, sites or domain names. Policing unauthorized use of the Company's technologies, content and other intellectual property rights entail significant expenses and could otherwise be difficult or impossible to do given, among other things, the global nature of the Internet. From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of the trademarks and other intellectual property of third parties by the Company or its licensees. Such claim, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. The Company is not currently aware of any legal proceedings or claims that the Company believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect[sic] on the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. geocities.com
