Currently, the Board does not have a Lead Director. Although the Board assesses the appropriate leadership structure from time to time in light of internal and external events or developments and reserves the right to make changes in the future, it believes that the current structure, as described in this Proxy Statement, is appropriate at this time given the size and experience of the Board, as well as the background and experience of management.

What is the Board’s Rolerole in Oversight of Risk

risk oversight?

Our management is responsible for managing risk and bringing the most material risks facing the Company to the Board’s attention.  OurThe Board has oversight responsibility for the processes established to report and monitor material risks applicable to the Company.  The Board also oversees the appropriate allocation of responsibility for risk oversight among the committees of the Board.  The Audit Committee plays a central role in overseeing the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and reviewing and approving the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent accountants.  The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers risks related to succession planning and considers risk related to the attraction and retention of talent and risks related to the design of compensation programs and arrangements.  The Compensation Committee monitors the design and administration of the Company’s compensation programs to ensure that they incentivize strong individual and group performance and include appropriate safeguards to avoid unintended or excessive risk taking by Company employees. The Board does not believe that its process for risk oversight should affect its leadership structure (i.e., whether it may combine the Chairman and CEO roles in the future) because Board committees (comprised entirely of independent directors) play the central role in risk oversight.

What committees has the Board established?

Our

The Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, each of which is a standing committee of the Board.

Audit Committee. The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist ourthe Board in overseeing (i) the integrity of our Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of our financial statements, as well as our systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, and legal compliance; (ii) our Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent public accountants; (iv) our Company’s financial risk; and (v) our Company’s internal audit function. In carrying out this purpose, the Audit Committee maintains and facilitates free and open communication between the Board, the independent public accountants, and our management.

The Board has also determined that Mr. LeClaire is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under SEC rules and regulations, and qualifies as a financially sophisticated audit committee member as required under Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. OurThe Board has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is posted on our website at www.livedeal.com. The Audit Committee met fivefour times during fiscal 2011.

2012.

Compensation Committee. The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to (i) discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company’s directors and executives, (ii) produce an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement, as necessary, and (iii) oversee and advise the Board on the adoption of policies that govern the Company’s compensation programs, including stock and benefit plans. Messrs. Clarke (Chairman) and LeClaire currently serve on the Compensation Committee. Each member of the committee satisfies the independence standards specified in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules and the related rules of the SEC. In addition, each of the current members of the Compensation Committee is a “non-employee director” under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). OurThe Board has adopted a charter for the Compensation Committee, a copy of which is posted on our website at www.livedeal.com. The Compensation Committee met twice during fiscal 2011.2012.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. There were no interlocking relationships between our Company and other entities that might affect the determination of the compensation of our executive officers.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The purpose of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is to (i) identify individuals who are qualified to become members of ourthe Board, consistent with criteria approved by the Board, and to select, or to recommend that the Board select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders or to fill vacancies on the board; (ii) develop and recommend to the Board a set of corporate governance principles applicable to our Company; and (iii) oversee the evaluation of the Board and our Company’s management. Messrs. Butler (Chairman) and Clarke currently serve on the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Each member of the committee satisfies the independence standards specified in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules and the related rules of the SEC.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee did not meetmet twice during fiscal 2011.

2012.

What are the procedures of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in making nominations?

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee establishes and periodically reviews the criteria and qualifications for board membership and the selection of candidates to serve as directors of our Company. In determining whether to nominate a candidate for director, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the following criteria, among others:

·the candidate’s integrity and ethical character;

·whether the candidate is “independent” under applicable SEC, NASDAQ and other rules;

·whether the candidate has any conflicts of interest that would materially impair his or her ability to exercise independent judgment as a member of ourthe Board or otherwise discharge the fiduciary duties owed by a director to LiveDeal and our stockholders;

·the candidate’s ability to represent all of our stockholders without favoring any particular stockholder group or other constituency of LiveDeal;

·the candidate’s experience (including business experience relevant to LiveDeal and/or its industry), leadership qualities and commitment to devoting the amount of time required to be an active member of ourthe Board and its committees; and

·the committee’s desire to nominate directors from diverse business and personal backgrounds (although the Company does not have a specific policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees).

The committee has the authority to retain a search firm to identify director candidates and to approve any fees and retention terms of the search firm’s engagement, although the committee has not recently engaged such a firm.

Although the committee has not specified any minimum criteria or qualifications that each director must meet, the committee conducts its nominating process in a manner designed to ensure that the Board continues to meet applicable requirements under SEC and NASDAQ rules (including, without limitation, as they relate to the composition of the Audit Committee).

10
Our

The Board is of the view that the continuing service of qualified incumbents promotes stability and continuity in the boardroom, giving our Company the benefit of the familiarity and insight into our Company’s affairs that its directors have accumulated during their tenure, while contributing to the Board’s ability to work as a collective body. Accordingly, the process of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee for identifying nominees reflects the practice of re-nominating incumbent directors who continue to satisfy the committee’s criteria for membership on the Board, who the committee believes will continue to make important contributions to the Board, and who consent to continue their service on the Board.

What are our policies and procedures with respect to director candidates who are nominated by security holders?

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders under criteria similar to those used to evaluate candidates nominated by the committee (including those listed above). In considering the potential candidacy of persons recommended by stockholders, however, the committee may also consider the size, duration and any special interest of the recommending stockholder (or group of stockholders) in LiveDeal’s common stock.

10


Stockholders who desire to recommend a nominee for election to ourthe Board must follow the following procedures:

ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF

FUTURE “SAY-ON-PAY” ADVISORY VOTES

(Proposal No. 3)

Stockholder Advisory Vote

At the AnnualMeeting, stockholders will be given the opportunity to vote on whether they prefer to have future “say-on-pay” votes occur:

·every year;
·every two years; or
·every three years.

Background on Proposal

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act and related SEC rules, stockholders are being given the opportunity to vote at the Annual Meeting on an advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers (“say-on-pay”). See Proposal No. 2 above in this Proxy Statement. The Dodd-Frank Act and applicable SEC rules also require that, at least once every six years, stockholders be given the opportunity to vote on the advisory resolution set forth immediately above regarding the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.

Stockholders may vote to recommend that future “say-on-pay” votes be held every year, every two years or every three years. The Board currently believes that future “say-on-pay” votes should occur every three years. There are advantages and disadvantages associated with each of the Company’s ability to grant awards (including stock options)frequencies permitted under the 2003 Stock Plan,Dodd-Frank Act and as amended by the Amendment, will promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interest of participants to those of the Company’s stockholders and by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding performance.applicable SEC rules.

Vote Required

This proposal is being submitted to enable stockholders to express a preference as to whether future “say-on-pay” votes should be held every year, every two years or every three years. The 2003 Stock Plan currently provides forselection that receives a plurality of affirmative votes will be considered the grant of restricted stock, performance share awards, performance-based awards and incentive and non-qualified stock options to eligible individuals under the 2003 Stock Plan.  A summarypreference of the principal provisions of the 2003 Stock Plan, as the plan is proposed to be amended, is set forth below.  The summary of the provisions set forth in the Amendment is qualified by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.


Administration

The 2003 Stock Plan is administered by a committee of the Board (the “Committee”).  If the Board doesstockholders. Brokers are not appoint a Committee, the 2003 Stock Plan is administered by the Board and all references in the 2003 Stock Plan to the Committee shall refer to the Board.  The Committee has the exclusive authority to administer the 2003 Stock Plan, including the power to determine eligibility; the types and sizes of awards; the price and timing of awards; and any schedule for lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an award, and accelerations or waivers thereof.

Eligibility

Persons eligible to participate in the 2003 Stock Plan include all employee and non-employee service providers of the Company or any of our subsidiaries, as determined by the Committee.

Limitation on Awards and Shares Available

An aggregate of 140,000 shares of our common stock would be available for grant under the 2003 Stock Plan, as amended (of which, 115,721 shares have been granted as of January 18, 2012).  Currently, 24,279 shares of our common stock are available for grant under the plan.  The maximum number of shares of common stock payable in the form of performance-based awards to any one participant for a performance period is 100,000 shares, or in the event the performance-based award is paid in cash, the maximum is determined by multiplying 100,000 by the fair market value of one share of stock as of the date of grant of the performance-based award.

13


Awards

The 2003 Stock Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock, performance shares, performance-based awards and incentive and non-qualified stock options to eligible individuals under the 2003 Stock Plan.  No determination has been made as to the types or amounts of future awards that will be granted to specific individuals under the 2003 Stock Plan.

A restricted stock award is the grant of shares of common stock at a price determined by the Committee (including zero), that is nontransferable and subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions are met.  Conditions may be based on continuing employment or achieving performance goals.  During the period of restriction, participants holding shares of restricted stock may have full voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares. The restrictions will lapse in accordance with a schedule or other conditions determined by the Committee.  A grant of performance shares gives the recipient rights that are valued and payable to or exercisable by the recipient as established by the Committee upon the grant or thereafter.

Grants of performance-based awards under the 2003 Stock Plan enable the Committee to treat restricted stock awards and performance share awards granted under the 2003 Stock Plan as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code and preserve the deductibility of these awards for federal income tax purposes.  Because Section 162(m) of the Code only applies to those employees who are “covered employees,” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, only individuals who are, or could be, covered employees are eligible to receive performance-based awards.

Participants are only entitled to receive payment for a performance-based award for any given performance period to the extent that pre-established performance goals set by the Committee for the period are satisfied.  These pre-established performance goals must be based on one or more of the following performance criteria: pre- or after-tax net earnings, sales or revenue, operating earnings, operating cash flow, return on net assets, return on shareholders’ equity, return on assets, return on capital, shareholder returns, gross or net profit margin, earnings per share, price per share, and market share.  These performance criteria may be measured in absolute terms or as compared to any incremental increase or as compared to results of a peer group.  With regard to a particular performance period, the Committee shall have theuse their discretion to select the length of the performance period, the type of performance-based awards to be granted, and the goals that will be used to measure the performance for the period.  In determining the actual size of an individual performance-based award for a performance period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the award. Generally, a participant will have to be employed on the date the performance-based award is paid to be eligible for a performance-based award for that period.

The Committee is also authorized to grant stock options to participants in the 2003 Stock Plan.  Such stock options are in the form of “incentive stock options” (“ISOs”) (meaning an option that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code) or “non-qualified stock options” (meaning an option that is not intended to be an incentive stock option).  The exercise price per share of our common stock under any option granted is not less than the fair market value of such share of common stock as of the date of grant.  The Committee generally has broad discretion to determine the terms and conditions of grants of stock options, including the exercise period (subject to a limit of 10 years).
14

Amendment and Termination

The Committee, subject to approval of the Board, may terminate, amend, or modify the 2003 Stock Plan at any time; provided, however, that stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule.

Federal Income Tax Consequences
The information set forth above is a summary only and does not purport to be complete.  In addition, the information is based upon current federal income tax rules and therefore is subject to change when those rules change.  Moreover, because the tax consequences to any recipient may depend on his particular situation, each recipient should consult the recipient’s tax adviser regarding the federal, state, local and other tax consequences of the grant or exercise of an award or the disposition of stock acquired as a result of an award.  The 2003 Stock Plan is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
Non-qualified Stock Options
Generally, there is no taxation upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option.  On exercise, an optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value on the date of exercise of the stock over the exercise price.  If the optionee is our employee or an employee of an affiliate, that income will be subject to withholding tax.  The optionee’s tax basis in those shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise of the option, and the optionee’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on that date.

Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, we will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the optionee.
Incentive Stock Options
Under the Code, an optionee generally is not subject to ordinary income tax upon the grant or exercise of an ISO.  In addition, if the optionee holds a share received on exercise of an ISO for at least two years from the date the option was granted and at least one year from the date the option was exercised, which we refer to as the “Required Holding Period,” the difference, if any, between the amount realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of that share and the holder’s tax basis in that share will be long-term capital gain or loss.

If, however, an optionee disposes of a share acquired on exercise of an ISO before the end of the Required Holding Period, which we refer to as a “Disqualifying Disposition,” the optionee generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of the Disqualifying Disposition equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the share on the date the ISO was exercised over the exercise price.  However, if the sales proceeds are less than the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the option, the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee will not exceed the gain, if any, realized on the sale.  If the amount realized on a Disqualifying Disposition exceeds the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the option, that excess will be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on whether the holding period for the share exceeds one year.
15


For purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the amount by which the fair market value of a share of stock acquired on exercise of an ISO exceeds the exercise price of that option generally will be an adjustment included in the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income for the year in which the option is exercised.  If, however, there is a Disqualifying Disposition of the share in the year in which the option is exercised, there will be no adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes with respect to that share.  If there is a Disqualifying Disposition in a later year, no incomevote uninstructed proxies with respect to the Disqualifying Disposition is included in the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income for that year.  In computing alternative minimum taxable income, the tax basis of a share acquired on exercise of an ISO is increased by the amount of the adjustment taken into account with respect to that share for alternative minimum tax purposes in the year the option is exercised.

We are not allowed an income tax deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option or the disposition of a share acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option after the Required Holding Period.  However, if there is a Disqualifying Disposition of a share, we are allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income includible in income by the optionee, provided that amount constitutes an ordinaryproposal, and necessary business expense for us and is reasonable in amount, and either the employee includes that amount in income or we timely satisfy our reporting requirements with respect to that amount.

Stock Awards
Generally, the recipient of a stock award will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time the stock is received equal to the excess, if any of the fair market value of the stock received over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock.  If, however, the stock is not vested when it is received (for example, if the employee is required to work for a period of time in order to have the right to sell the stock, as is the case with our grant of shares of restricted stock), the recipient generallysuch “broker non-votes” will not recognize income until the stock becomes vested, at which time the recipient will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date it becomes vested over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock.  A recipient may, however, file an election with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days of his or her receipt of the stock award, to recognize ordinary compensation income, as of the date the recipient receives the award, equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date the award is granted over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock.

The recipient’s basis for the determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of shares acquired as stock awards will be the amount paid for such shares plus any ordinary income recognized either when the stock is received or when the stock becomes vested.  Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, we will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the recipient of the stock award.

Section 162 Limitations

Section 162(m) denies a deduction to any publicly-held corporation for compensation paid to certain “covered employees” in a taxable year to the extent that compensation to such covered employee exceeds $1 million.  It is possible that compensation attributable to stock awards, when combined with all other types of compensation received by a covered employee from us, may cause this limitation to be exceeded in any particular year.  For purposes of Section 162(m), the term “covered employee” means our principal executive officer and our three highest compensated officers as of the end of a taxable year as disclosed in our filings with the SEC.  Certain kinds of compensation, including qualified “performance-based” compensation, are disregarded for purposes of the Section 162(m) deduction limitation. In accordance with Treasury regulations issued under Section 162(m), compensation attributable to certain stock awards will qualify as performance-based compensation if the award is granted by a committee of the Board consisting solely of “outside directors” and the stock award is granted (or exercisable) only upon the achievement (as certified in writing by the committee) of an objective performance goal established in writing by the committee while the outcome is substantially uncertain, and the material terms of the plan under which the award is granted is approved by stockholders.  A stock option may be considered “performance-based” compensation as described in previous sentence or by meeting the following requirements: the incentive compensation plan contains a per-employee limitation on the number of shares for which stock options may be granted during a specified period, the material terms of the plan are approved by the stockholders, and the exercise price of the option or right is no less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.

16


The regulations under Section 162(m) require that the directors who serve as members of the Committee must be “outside directors.”  This limitation would exclude from the Committee directors who are (i) our current employees or those of one of our affiliates, (ii) our former employees or those of one of our affiliates who is receiving compensation for past services (other than benefits under a tax-qualified pension plan), (iii) our current and former officers or those of one of our affiliates, (iv) directors currently receiving direct or indirect remuneration from us or one of our affiliates in any capacity other than as a director, and (v) any other person who is not otherwise considered an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m).  The definition of an “outside director” under Section 162(m) is generally narrower than the definition of a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

For fiscal 2011, the Company’s Named2012, our NEOs were:

Kevin A. Hall, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer; and
Lawrence W. Tomsic, Chief Financial Officer

Lawrence W. Tomsic, Chief Financial Officer (until May 20, 2012)

The Compensation Committee


The Compensation Committee annually reviews the performance and compensation of the Chief Executive Officer or other principal executive officer (currently, our President and Chief OperatingExecutive Officer) and the Company’s other executive officers. Additionally, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation of outside directors for service on the Board and for service on committees of the Board, and administers the Company’s stock plans.


19

Role of Executives in Determining Executive Compensation


The Chief Executive Officer or other principal executive officer (currently, our President and Chief Executive Officer) provides input to the Compensation Committee regarding the performance of the other Named Executive OfficersNEOs and offers recommendations regarding their compensation packages in light of such performance. The Compensation Committee is ultimately responsible, however, for determining the compensation of the Named Executive Officers,NEOs, including the Chief Executive Officer or other principal executive officer.


Compensation Philosophy and Objectives


The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the Company’s compensation programs for its executive officers should reflect the Company’s performance and the value created for its stockholders. In addition, we believe the compensation programs should support the goals and values of the Company and should reward individual contributions to the Company’s success. Specifically, the Company’s executive compensation program is intended to:


·attract and retain the highest caliber executive officers;
17
 
·drive achievement of business strategies and goals;

·motivate performance in an entrepreneurial, incentive-driven culture;

·closely align the interests of executive officers with the interests of the Company’s stockholders;

·promote and maintain high ethical standards and business practices; and

·reward results and the creation of stockholder value.

Factors Considered in Determining Compensation; Components of Compensation


The Compensation Committee makes executive compensation decisions on the basis of total compensation, rather than on individual components of compensation. We attempt to create an integrated total compensation program structured to balance both short and long-term financial and strategic goals. Our compensation should be competitive enough to attract and retain highly skilled individuals. In this regard, we utilize a combination of between two to four of the following types of compensation to compensate our executive officers:


·base salary, which typically increases by 10% each year during the term of their employment agreement (if applicable);salary;

·performance bonuses, which may be earned annually depending on the Company’s achievement of pre-established goals;

·cash bonuses given at the discretion of the Board; and

·equity compensation, consisting of restricted stock and/or stock options.

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews each executive officer’s base salary and makes appropriate recommendations to the Board. Salaries are based on the following factors:


20

·the Company’s performance for the prior fiscal years and subjective evaluation of each executive’s contribution to that performance;

·the performance of the particular executive in relation to established goals or strategic plans; and

·competitive levels of compensation for executive positions based on information drawn from compensation surveys and other relevant information.

Performance bonuses and equity compensation are awarded based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. Restricted stock is granted under the 2003 Stock PlanCompany’s stockholder-approved equity incentive plan(s) and is priced at 100% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Incentive and/or non-qualified stock options are generally granted under the 2003 Stock Plan,Company’s stockholder-approved equity incentive plan(s), as well, with the exercise price of such options set at 100% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These grants are made with a view to linking executives’ compensation to the long-term financial success of the Company.

18

Use of Benchmarking and Compensation Peer Groups


The Compensation Committee did not utilize any benchmarking measure in fiscal 20112012 and traditionally has not tied compensation directly to a specific profitability measurement, market value of the Company’s common stock or benchmark related to any established peer or industry group. Salary increases are based on the terms of the Named Executive Officers’NEOs’ employment agreements, if applicable, and correlated with the Board’s and the Compensation Committee’s assessment of each Named Executive Officer’sNEO’s performance. The Company also generally seeks to increase or decrease compensation, as appropriate, based upon changes in an executive officer’s functional responsibilities within the Company. Historically, the Compensation Committee has not used outside consultants in determining the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers,NEOs, and no such consultants were engaged during fiscal 2011.


2012.

Other Compensation Policies and Considerations


Considerations; Tax Issues and Risk Management

The intention of the Company has been to compensate the Named Executive OfficersNEOs in a manner that maximizes the Company’s ability to deduct such compensation expenses for federal income tax purposes. However, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to provide compensation that is not “performance-based” under Section 162(m) of the Code it determines that such compensation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. For fiscal 2011,2012, the Company deductedexpects to deduct all compensation expenses paid to the Named Executive Officers.


21

NEOs.

On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee evaluates the Company’s compensation policies and practices for its employees, including the NEOs, to assess whether such policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.  Based on its evaluation, the Compensation Committee has determined that the Company’s compensation policies and practices do not create such risks.

LiveDeal, Inc. Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Plan


During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, our stockholders approved the 2002 Employees, Officers & Directors Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”), which was intended to replace our 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”). The 2002 Plan was never implemented, however, and no options, shares or any other securities were issued or granted under the 2002 Plan. There were 30,000 shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2002 Plan. On June 30, 2003 and July 21, 2003, respectively, ourthe Board and a majority of our stockholders terminated both the 1998 Plan and the 2002 Plan and approved our 2003 Stock Plan. The 30,000 shares of common stock previously allocated to the 2002 Plan were re-allocated to the 2003 Stock Plan.

In April 2004, our stockholders and ourthe Board approved an amendment to the 2003 Stock Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares available thereunder by 20,000 shares in order to have an adequate number of shares available for future grants. At our 2007 Annual Meeting, our stockholders approved an amendment that increased the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2003 Stock Plan to 80,000 shares. At our 2008 Annual Meeting, our stockholders rejected an amendment that would have increased the number of shares available for issuance from 80,000 shares to 110,000 shares. At our 2009 Annual Meeting, our stockholders approved an amendment that increased the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2003 Stock Plan by 60,000 shares, to 140,000 shares in the aggregate.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The

SEC rules require us to include in our Proxy Statement a report from the Company’s Audit Committee of our Board.Committee. The following report concerns the Audit Committee’s activities regarding oversight of our financial reporting and auditing process and does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing that we make under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this report in such filings.

It is the duty of the Audit Committee to provide independent, objective oversight of our accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee acts under a written charter that sets forth the audit-related functions we are expected to perform. Our functions are to:

·serve as an independent and objective party to monitor LiveDeal, Inc.’s financial reporting process and system of internal control structure;

·review and appraise the audit efforts of LiveDeal, Inc.’s independent registered public accounting firm; and

·provide an open avenue of communication among the independent auditors, financial and senior management, and the Board.

We meet with management periodically to consider the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. We discuss these matters with the Company’s independent auditors and with appropriate financial personnel. We regularly meet privately with the independent auditors, who have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee. We also recommend to the Board the appointment of the independent auditors and review periodically their performance and independence from management. Toward that end, we have considered whether the non-audit related services provided by LiveDeal, Inc.’s independent auditors are compatible with their independence. In addition, we review our financing plans and report recommendations to the full Board for approval and to authorize action.

22
26

Management of LiveDeal, Inc. has primary responsibility for the Company’s financial statements and the overall reporting process, including its system of internal control structure. The independent auditors (a)(i) audit the annual financial statements prepared by management, (b)(ii) express an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present LiveDeal, Inc.’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and (c)(iii) discuss with the Company any issues they believe should be raised. Our responsibility is to monitor and review these processes.

It is not our duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. We are not employees of LiveDeal, Inc. while serving on the Audit Committee. We are not and we may not represent ourselves to be or to serve as accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting and auditing. Therefore, we have relied, without independent verification; on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and on the representations of the independent auditors included in their report on LiveDeal, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements. Our oversight does not provide us with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, our considerations and discussions with management and the independent auditors do not assure that the Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, that the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that LiveDeal, Inc.’s independent accountants are, in fact, “independent.”

This year, we reviewed LiveDeal, Inc.’s audited consolidated financial statements and met with both management and Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.Kabani & Company, Inc., LiveDeal, Inc.’s independent auditors, to discuss those consolidated financial statements. Management has represented to us that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have received from and discussed with Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.Kabani & Company, Inc. the written disclosure and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). These items relate to that firm’s independence from LiveDeal, Inc. We also discussed with Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C.Kabani & Company, Inc. any matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (Communication with Audit Committees).

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the Board that LiveDeal, Inc.’s audited consolidated financial statements should be included in LiveDeal, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

Jon Isaac, who is a director of the Company and also serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the President and sole member of ICG.

Either ICG or the Company may elect at any time to convert all or any portion of any outstanding Subordinated Convertible Note (including all principal and accrued interest) into (1) a number of shares of our common stock equal to the dollar amount being converted divided by the conversion price and, (2) a warrant exercisable for a period of five years following the date of its issuance for a number of shares equal to the same number of shares as are issuable upon conversion of the note (as provided in clause (1) above), at an exercise price equal to 120% of the conversion price. Subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations, share reclassifications, certain fundamental transactions and certain share issuances, the conversion price will be equal to 60% of the lesser of (i) $3.96, which was the closing bid price of our common stock on April 3, 2012, and (ii) the 10-day weighted average closing bid price of our common stock for the 10 business days immediately preceding the date of the applicable notice of conversion subject to a minimum of $1.00. The exercise price of the warrant is subject to similar adjustments.

The Company issued an initial Subordinated Convertible Note in the principal amount of $250,000 to ICG on April 3, 2012.
