Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
(Operator Instructions). Our first question comes from Doug Whitman with Whitman Capital.
Doug Whitman - Whitman Capital
Congratulations, guys, on another strong quarter. And can we talk a little about; you're selling off the software group. If you can give us some idea, it's pretty logical to assume given their revenue run-rate that they're at, that you would be profitable without it. Maybe a little direction and some guidance on how accretive it might be? Not counting the purchase, the selling price?
Ali Jenab
Doug, first of all, we're exploring strategic alternatives for the software business and depending on what quarter and what run-rate assumption you make, that could be fluctuating the bottom-line results. So software in general, as they I have guided in the past, needs about $13 million revenue run-rate for that business to be breakeven for us on an annualized basis, absorbing corporate overhead.
Now, as long as the run-rate is below that, then the business is negatively impacting bottom-line. Moving forward, our goal will be to figure out exactly what it means, because also if you do exclude the assets, assuming that the asset gets excluded, then it all depends on what happens to also the corporate G&A, because there will be some cost saving associated with that. We have not fully run those numbers at this point because again, we're just exploring alternatives at this point.
Doug Whitman - Whitman Capital
You guys have historically been a fairly conservative company. So maybe you could talk about what you're seeing that is giving you the uptick on the media side? Obviously, you've got a great base on the product. But if you could talk a little about what's making you feel good in the next quarter? And what you're seeing in visibility, what kind of customers perhaps you are starting to attract?
Ali Jenab
Yes. So, as we have mentioned before, that we work hard to try to get allocation from our bigger customers of their 2007 media budgets. And we are working with numerous accounts and we feel pretty good at this time that we have a few of them in hand. As I mentioned on the script that we had, continued renewal of IBM, Webster's free download program on a long-term basis. They committed to that for the year. And also, we've had a Intel campaign that's been pretty visible on our Slashdot program that's moving forward. And we've also got a handful of other accounts that we are working that we haven't officially announced to have engaged with us yet. So, looking at the pipeline where we are right now and what's reasonable, we feel like 5 million plus or minus 5% is a reasonable guidance for us to give at this point for this quarter.
