M c I n t i r e I n v e s t m e n t I n s t i t u t e
MISPERCEPTION
• Q3 loss disprove Blucora’s ability to make profits– $4.3 million one-time loss on the warrant
• With competition from Google, Infospace’s future is not bright– Different business model
• Tax preparation business is unstable– Blucora has InfoSpace
• Decrease margin of TaxACT is not a good sign– Shifting from off-line software to online-service

M c I n t i r e I n v e s t m e n t I n s t i t u t e
RISKS
• If some companies can get contract with Google, it will be a bad sign for Infospace
• If earning does not recover in Q4, investors will further lose confidences and we should doubt if the loss in Q3 was only out of one-time loss
• It's hard to find a deal as attractive as TaxACT, so if leaders make a bad acquisition, stock price will suffer
