8 Case Study: Gaia Online
An online virtual “hangout” with a targeted demographic 65% of demo are 18 years old or younger 85% of audience is domestic Gaia has built an attractive and passionate community 7MM register users and ~2MM monthly unique users Average 2-3 hours per day on the site (more than MySpace or Second Life) An early stage company with significant upside potential Previous focus on building audience, now beginning to monetize user base ($1.8MM in Q1 ‘07) Raised ~$21MM to date; last round at $120MM valuation Extremely interested in Sony as a strategic partner An attractive site to build brands and sell SPE products with multiple revenue opportunities Fees from films and TV product aired in virtual theaters Ad inventory from branded digital channels (e.g. Minisodes) Sale of virtual SPE products (and possibly digital goods) Promote properties through immersive experience Source: Gaia mgmt (traffic and demographics)

9 Gaia Revenue and Marketing Opportunities
Virtual Theaters Virtual Goods Other Stream SPE films and digital channels in virtual theaters where users interact with each other and their environment Titles/channels would air in exclusive branded theaters Gaia charges a per-ticket or rental fee and shares “box office” with SPE for current and library titles SPTAS sells video interstitial and display inventory for digital channels Sell SPE branded virtual goods New revenue stream for SPE with high margins Branding and promotional opportunity providing a new consumer touch point Ability to tie virtual goods to movie and product launches Actual goods are TBD but conceptually could include Boondocks t-shirts, Spiderman masks, etc. Merchandising Sell SPE digital goods, including games, ring tones, and wallpaper Sell SPE branded hard goods, including movie posters, DVDs, etc Marketing / Promotions Market SPE titles to a highly targeted and valuable demographic (14-24 year olds)
