Rainmaker CEO Michael Silton commented, "Our fourth quarter 2009 results and the decision by Oracle not to continue with some of the programs we have been performing for Sun was disappointing. We are committed to taking the cost reduction actions to return to positive cash flow in two quarters. We are encouraged by the number of new programs we have signed this quarter and the opportunities in our pipeline. The implementation of our substantial program for our new telecommunications client is on schedule and progressing well."
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $10.8 million, compared to net revenue of $13.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $11.7 in the third quarter of 2009. Net revenue for 2009 was $47.8 million, compared to $66.3 million in 2008.
Gross margin was 40% in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 34% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 45% in the third quarter of 2009. Gross margin for 2009 was 45%, compared to 41% in 2008.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $2.5 million, or a loss of $0.13 per share, compared to a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $20.3 million, or a loss of $1.05 per share, and a net loss for the third quarter of 2009 of $1.4 million, or a loss of $0.06 per share. Net loss for 2009 was $8.3 million, or a loss of $0.43 per share, compared to a net loss for 2008 of $30.6 million, or a loss of $1.58 per share.
Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $1.7 million, or a loss of $0.09 per share. Fourth quarter 2009 non-GAAP net loss excludes stock based compensation of $638,000 and amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions of $202,000, and compares to a non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $4.3 million, or a loss of $0.22 per share, and a non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2009 of $532,000, or a loss of $0.02 per share.

Fourth quarter 2009 basic EPS results are based on 19.5 million weighted average shares outstanding and exclude all options, warrants and unvested restricted share awards which are anti-dilutive.
Total shares outstanding at December 31, 2009 were approximately 22.0 million common shares, which include approximately 2.4 million unvested restricted shares. In addition, Rainmaker had 1.8 million unexercised options and warrants outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $3.22 per share.
Fourth quarter 2009 included an income tax benefit of $57,000, mainly due to a November 2009 tax law change that allows Rainmaker to carry back its 2008 or 2009 NOLs up to 5 years, resulting in a tax refund for 2006 and 2007. At December 31, 2009, Rainmaker had federal tax NOL's of $62.2 million and California state tax NOL's of $41.0 million.
Cash usage in the fourth quarter of 2009 included $873,000 for cash flow from operations, $510,000 for the acquisition of Grow Commerce, $435,000 for capital equipment, $265,000 for payments against the term loan with Bridge Bank, and $114,000 for the repurchase of approximately 81,000 shares of Rainmaker's outstanding common stock. Since inception of the share purchase program through December 31, 2009, Rainmaker has repurchased approximately 647,000 shares of its outstanding common stock at a cost of approximately $922,000. Total cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 were $15.1 million, compared with $17.5 million at September 30, 2009.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Rainmaker Systems' management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various performance measures. In addition to GAAP results, Rainmaker also considers adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share, which are referred to as non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, which excludes non-cash stock compensation expense from EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are derived from the revenue generated by Rainmaker's business and the costs directly related to the generation of that revenue, such as costs of services, sales and marketing expenses, technology expenses and general and administrative expenses, that management considers in evaluating the Company's operating performance. Non-GAAP net loss , non-GAAP net loss per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA exclude certain expenses that management does not consider to be related to the Company's core operating performance.
Non-GAAP net loss consists of net loss excluding equity plan-related compensation expenses, amortization of purchased intangible assets and certain non-recurring expenses. Stock compensation adjustments were $638,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and represents the current quarter recognition of compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards granted prior to and during the quarter. Amortization of intangible assets was $202,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and related primarily to the prior acquisitions of Sunset Direct, ViewCentral, Qinteraction and Grow Commerce. See Exhibit A for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP net loss.
EBITDA was $(1,406,000) for the fourth quarter of 2009. EBITDA consists of net loss excluding interest income or expense, income taxes, and depreciation & amortization. Provision for income taxes was a credit of $57,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 due to tax law changes in the fourth quarter of 2009 regarding NOL carrybacks. Non-cash charges for depreciation of property and equipment were $976,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Non-cash charges for amortization of acquisition related intangibles were $202,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and related primarily to our prior business acquisitions. Interest and other income was $28,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and related primarily to foreign currency translation gains and interest earned on cash deposits which was partially offset by interest expense on our term loans. Adjusted EBITDA was $(768,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and adds back to EBITDA non-cash stock based compensation expense of $638,000 incurred in the fourth quarter of 2009. See Exhibit B for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.
Non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of Rainmaker's performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Moreover, they should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. Rainmaker presents non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because management considers them to be important supplemental measures of Rainmaker's operating performance and profitability trends, and because management believes they give investors useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management. Rainmaker believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides consistency and comparability with Rainmaker's past financial reports and also facilitates comparisons with other companies in Rainmaker's industry, a number of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Management has historically used non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because management believes that the inclusion or exclusion of the items described above provides an additional measure of the Company's core operating results and facilitates comparisons of the Company's core operating performance against prior periods and the Company's business model objectives. Rainmaker has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluation of the Company's ongoing core operations.

Non-GAAP diluted net loss per

(1) To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use
non-GAAP net loss, which excludes certain business combination
accounting entries and expenses related to acquisitions as well as
other expenses including stock-based compensation. As we have
completed several acquisitions since 2005, we believe non-GAAP net
loss provides useful information to investors regarding the
underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing
operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such
operations. Non-GAAP net loss is not meant to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net loss, and should be read
only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(2) Stock-based compensation: We estimate the fair value of share based
payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.
The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to
vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods.
Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
(3) We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangibles from our
non-GAAP net loss. We believe this helps investors understand a
significant reason why our GAAP operating expenses increase following
acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible
assets contributed to revenue earned during the period and will
contribute to future revenue generation and should also note that
these amortization expenses are recurring.
(4) In the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the company decided to reduce
the space leased in Manila for our Philippine operations and took a
charge of approximately $130,000. In the quarter ended March 31,
2009, we decided to further reduce our space leased in Manila and
took an additional charge of approximately $161,000 which consisted
of $95,000 related to the write-off of the remaining book value of
the leasehold improvements at this location, and approximately
$66,000 related to early termination penalty and forfeiture of the
security deposit as specified in the lease agreement. Additionally,
during our second quarter ended June 30, 2008, we closed our Oakland
office and vacated the leased office space. At this time we recorded
a liability for the remaining lease payments less the estimated lease
rentals, net of any expenses associated of approximately $227,000,
and wrote-off the remaining net book value of the leasehold
improvements at this location of approximately $76,000. In the
quarter ended December 31, 2008, we recorded an additional $50,000
related to the additional rent due to the landlord from exercising an
early termination provision in the lease agreement.
(5) In the 4th quarter of 2008, we performed our annual impairment
analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with
FASB ASC 350-20-35, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other-Subsequent
Measurement. Step 1 of the impairment analysis determined that the
carrying value of our Lead Development and Rainmaker Asia reporting
units at December 31, 2008 was greater than their fair value, and
that the goodwill relating to these reporting units was impaired.
Upon completion of Step 2 of the analysis, we recorded a goodwill
impairment charge of approximately $6.1 million on the Lead
Development reporting unit and approximately $5.4 million on the
Rainmaker Asia reporting unit. Additionally, we recorded an
impairment charge against our other finite-lived intangible assets of
approximately $1.1 million on the Lead Development reporting unit and
approximately $1.1 million on the Rainmaker Asia reporting unit. The
impairment evaluations for goodwill and other intangible assets
included reasonable and supportable assumptions and were based on
estimates of projected future cash flows. The goodwill and other
intangible assets impairment charge is non-cash in nature and does
not affect our liquidity, cash flows from operating activities, debt
covenants, or have any impact on future operations except that
amortization expense will decrease going forward.
(6) In the 4th quarter of 2008, our $1,250,000 short-term note receivable
from a privately owned company was automatically converted to 619,104
shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the company in accordance with
the calculation set forth in the note agreement. Due to an adverse
change in business climate, we performed a valuation during the 4th
quarter to determine the fair value of these shares and the warrant
that was received in connection with the original note agreement.
The fair value of the shares and warrant was approximately $740,000
at December 31, 2008 resulting in a write-down of $749,000
representing the difference in the carrying value of the shares and
warrant and their fair value at December 31, 2008. The impairment
write-down of our investment in this privately owned company is non-
cash in nature and does not affect our liquidity, cash flows from
operating activities, debt covenants, or have any impact on future
operations.

GAAP. We regularly use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA internally to
