Inuvo, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization and Business Overview
Business Overview
Inuvo®, Inc. and subsidiaries ("we", "us" or "our") is an Internet marketing and technology company that delivers targeted advertisements into websites reaching desktop and mobile devices.
At its core, our business is built on the delivery of Internet advertisements to consumers. Most of our revenue is generated when a consumer clicks on an advertisement we have delivered, although we also generate revenue through sales commissions and sponsored advertisements. We manage our business as
two
segments, Network and Applications.
The Network segment facilitates transactions between advertisers and partners' websites and applications, as well as our own websites and applications. We deliver targeted advertisements to both desktop and mobile devices. The majority of revenue generated by this segment is derived from clicks on advertisements. The proprietary technology platform that supports the Network segment provides advertisers and publishers numerous benefits, including performance reporting, targeting and fraud detection, all of which we believe differentiates us in our marketplace.
The Applications segment designs, builds and markets consumer applications, including our ALOT Appbar (the "Appbar") and its product portfolio and our BargainMatch CashBack application. The majority of revenue generated by this segment is derived from clicks on advertisements, sales commissions and sponsored advertisements within applications.
On March 1, 2012 we acquired Vertro, Inc. (the "March 2012 Acquisition" or "Vertro"), an Internet company that owns and operates the ALOT product portfolio, discussed in Note 13.
Relocation of corporate headquarters
During 2012, our leadership team began to explore opportunities for consolidation of our offices in New York City and Clearwater, FL. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the state of Arkansas offered us a grant to relocate our offices and operations to their state.
On January 25, 2013, we reached an agreement with the state of Arkansas and received a grant of up to
$1.75 million
for costs related to the relocation and the purchase of equipment necessary to begin operations in Arkansas. The grant is contingent upon us having at least
fifty
full-time equivalent permanent positions within
four
years, maintaining at least
fifty
full-time equivalent permanent positions for the following
six
years and paying those positions an average total compensation of
$90,000
per year. If we fail to meet the requirements of the grant after the initial four year period, we may be required to repay a portion of the grant, up to but not to exceed the full amount of the grant. Based on our hiring and financial forecasts, we believe we will meet all grant requirements.
During 2013, we have terminated our Clearwater, FL lease and subleased our New York City office. These activities will significantly reduce future cash outlays for rent. See Note 12 - Leases for further discussion.
Liquidity
During 2012, our liquidity was unfavorably affected by significant investments in search costs to increase consumer downloads of our Appbar product. Though we benefited from cost synergies from the March 2012 Acquisition, in response we took additional steps to reduce operating costs to improve our operating results and cash position. Further, we project the move to Arkansas will save us approximately
$2.5 million
in annual rent, payroll and other operating costs.
To conserve cash, we may from time to time delay payments to our website publishers and other vendors, which may affect their decisions to do business with us.
We also have access to a revolving line of credit with Bridge Bank, N.A. ("Bridge Bank"), which allows for up to
$10 million
in borrowings and had approximately
$1.2 million
in availability as of
June 30, 2013
.
We believe that the revolving line of credit, operating efficiencies and the relocation to Arkansas will provide us with sufficient cash for operations over the next 12 months.
7
Customer concentration
We generate the majority of our revenue from two customers, Yahoo! and Google. At
June 30, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
these
two
customers accounted for
82.2 percent
and
71.0 percent
of our gross accounts receivable balance, respectively. For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2013
they accounted for
92.8 percent
and
92.0 percent
of net revenue, respectively. For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2012
they accounted for
68.6 percent
and
76.6 percent
of net revenue, respectively.
On February 1, 2013 we agreed to a new
two
year services agreement with Google. Our current contract with Yahoo! expires in April 2014.
NYSE MKT
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE MKT, LLC (the "Exchange"). In November 2012, we were notified by the Exchange that we were out of compliance with certain aspects of their listing requirements; specifically, due to losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in our five most recent fiscal years, the Exchange's minimum requirement for continued listing is stockholders' equity of not less than
$6,000,000
. We were afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange by December 31, 2012 to demonstrate our ability to regain compliance with their listing standards. We submitted our plan and were notified on February 15, 2013 that it was accepted. We are able to continue our listing during the plan period, which ends December 2, 2013, though subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the plan. As of
June 30, 2013
our stockholders' equity was
$4,581,976
.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements presented are for Inuvo, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with those rules and regulations. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In our opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on March 13, 2013, as amended on March 21, 2013.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s regular evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to allowances for returns and redemptions, allowances for doubtful accounts, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations, lives of intangible assets, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, contingent liabilities, stock compensation and the value of stock-based compensation. In addition, we used significant assumptions in our valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired with the acquisition of Vertro. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material.
Accounting for headquarters relocation grant
During the first quarter of 2013, we received a grant from the state of Arkansas to relocate our corporate headquarters to Conway, AR. We recognize the grant funds into income as a reduction of the related expense in the period in which those expenses are recognized. We defer grant funds related to capitalized costs and classify them as current or long-term liabilities on the balance sheet according to the classification of the associated asset. Grant funds received are presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows as operating or investing cash flows depending on the classification of the underlying spend. The grant contains certain requirements, discussed in Note 1, that would require us to repay a portion or all of the grant if certain requirements are not met. We expect to meet all such requirements, and we continually reassess this expectation. If
8
circumstances arise in the future that cause us to conclude we will no longer meet these requirements, we may reserve for the expected loss during the period in which it is concluded that we will not meet the grant requirements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2012-02:
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2012-02,
Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment
. This guidance aligns the impairment testing guidance for indefinite-lived intangible assets with the impairment testing guidance for goodwill. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The effect of adopting this statement is not expected to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by standard setters did not or are not believed to have a material impact on our present or future consolidated financial statements.
Change in accounting estimate
During the first quarter of 2013, as a result of changes in our Baby to Bee business, we completed an assessment of the useful life of our names database intangible asset, which were being amortized over a useful life of
nine
months. As a result, we determined that our names database purchases no longer have a useful life. We recognized a data acquisition charge of
$322,771
in cost of revenue during the first quarter of 2013 to write off the remaining balance of the asset. We now fully charge to expense our names purchases during the month in which they are acquired.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to historical periods to conform to current classification. These reclassifications had no effect on total stockholders' equity or net loss.

Credit Facilities
On March 1, 2012 we entered into a Business Financing Agreement with Bridge Bank. The agreement provided us with a
$5 million
term loan (the "Term Loan") and access to a revolving credit line of up to
$10 million
, which we use to help satisfy our working capital needs. We have provided Bridge Bank a first priority perfected security interest in all of our accounts and personal property as collateral for the credit facility.
Effective as of March 29, 2013 we agreed to a Third Business Financing Modification Agreement with Bridge Bank which, among other things, modifies our financial covenants and extends the maturity of the revolving line of credit to March 29, 2015.
Term Note Payable
The Term Note Payable is repayable in equal monthly installments through its maturity date of February 10, 2016.
Revolving Credit Line
Available funds under the revolving credit line are
80 percent
of eligible accounts receivable balances plus
$1 million
, up to
$10 million
. Eligible accounts receivable is generally defined as those from United States based customers that are not more than
90 days
past due. We had approximately
$1.2 million
in availability under the revolving credit line as of
June 30, 2013
.
Debt Compliance
The Third Business Financing Modification Agreement revised the targets for our financial covenants to an Asset Coverage Ratio, measured monthly, of not less than (i)
0.70
to
1.00
for February 2013 through May 2013,
0.80
to
1.00
for June 2013 through September 2013,

1.75
to
1.00
beginning February 28, 2013.
On March 8, 2013 Bridge Bank waived an event of default that occurred in January 2013. As of
June 30, 2013
we were in compliance with all terms of the credit agreement.

Note 8 - Income Taxes
We have a deferred tax liability of
$3,940,301
as of
June 30, 2013
, primarily related to our intangible assets. During the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2013
, we recognized an income tax benefit of
$79,247
and
$162,247
, respectively, due to the decrease of our deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of intangible assets.
Although we have a net deferred tax asset, we have concluded that we are unable to support a conclusion that it is more likely than not than any of this asset will be recognized. As such, the net deferred tax asset is fully reserved.
At
June 30, 2013
we have accrued in other long-term liabilities
$506,453
for uncertain tax positions.
Note 9 - Stock-Based Compensation
We maintain a stock-based compensation program intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for talented employees and directors and align stockholder and employee interests. Currently, we grant options and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") from the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2005 LTIP") and the 2010 Equity Compensation Plan (“2010 ECP”).
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2013
, stock-based compensation expense was
$110,420
and
$300,413
. For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2012
, stock-based compensation expense was
$191,445
and
$386,864
, respectively.
The total compensation cost at
June 30, 2013
related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was approximately
$342,836
to be recognized over a weighted-average recognition period of
0.72 years
.
During the first quarter of 2013, we granted to certain employees a total of
100,000
RSAs with a weighted average fair value of
$0.72
per share. These shares vest ratably over
three
years. During the second quarter of 2013, we granted members of our board of directors a total of
80,000
RSAs with a weighted average fair value of
$0.77
per share which vest on December 31, 2013.
On March 31, 2013, some of our employees voluntarily canceled certain outstanding stock options for no consideration. As a result,
805,134
shares were canceled and returned to 2005 LTIP and 2010 ECP plans. The cancellation of these options resulted in the recognition of
$49,577
in additional stock-based compensation expense, which represented the fair value of the canceled options that had not yet been recognized as of the date of cancellation.
As a result of the changes noted previously, the following table summarizes our 2005 LTIP and 2010 ECP plans as of
June 30, 2013

Note 10 – Discontinued Operations
Certain of our subsidiaries operated in the European Union ("EU"). Though operations have ceased, statutory requirements require a continued presence in the EU for varying terms until April 2015. Profits and losses generated from the remaining assets and liabilities are accounted for as discontinued operations.
For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2013
we recognized net income from discontinued operations of
$283,015
and
$408,108
, respectively. For the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2012
we recognized net loss from discontinued operations of
$155,236
and
$156,943
, respectively.
Net income from discontinued operations for 2013 is due to the favorable resolution of a tax audit and the reduction of certain accrued liabilities originating in 2009 and earlier years, which we determined are no longer likely to be paid. Net loss from discontinued operations for 2012 is related to appeals on a tax issue.
Note 11 - Earnings per Share
During the
three
months ended
June 30, 2013
, we generated net income from continuing operations. Accordingly, for this quarter certain of our outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards now have a dilutive impact, illustrated in the following table. We generated basic and diluted earnings per share from net income of
$0.02
for the quarter.

. We also have
816,274
outstanding warrants with a weighted average exercise price of

Note 12 - Leases
We have entered into several transactions during 2013 that will significantly lower our future expected rent obligations.
On January 25, 2013 we signed an amendment to our Clearwater, FL lease allowing us to terminate the lease at March 31, 2013 for a lump sum payment of
$615,000
. In addition, on April 12, 2013 we entered into an agreement to sublease our New York City office for
$48,544
per month through January 30, 2016 after rent credits of $
97,088
over the first three months of the term.
On January 31, 2013 we entered into an agreement to lease office space in Conway, AR for
two
years at a monthly rental rate of
$8,400
which we prepaid in connection with our relocation to Arkansas for a discounted total of
$193,200
. A director and shareholder of Inuvo is the majority owner of the lessor of this space.
Contemplating each transaction noted above, minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases and sublease income are as follows for the remainder of 2013 and subsequent periods:

Note 13 - Acquisition of Vertro
On March 1, 2012, we acquired Vertro. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, Vertro became a wholly owned subsidiary of Inuvo and we issued to the Vertro stockholders
12,393,308
shares of our common stock for all the outstanding shares of Vertro common stock. Upon closing of the merger, all the shares of Vertro common stock, which traded under the symbol “VTRO,” were delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market and ceased trading.
The following table summarizes the net assets received and liabilities assumed in the merger with Vertro. Adjustments to the original purchase price allocation include a revision of shares of common stock issued related to the merger and the finalization of the fair value of accrued expenses.

($7,047,982)
, and basic and diluted loss earnings per share of
($0.37)
. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies which may occur subsequent to the acquisition date. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of our future combined operating results.
Note 14 - Litigation and Settlements
Litigation and Settlement
From time to time we may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we are currently involved in the following litigation which is not incidental to its business:
Shareholder Class Action Lawsuits
. In 2005,
five
putative securities fraud class action lawsuits were filed against Vertro and certain of its former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, which were subsequently consolidated. The consolidated complaint alleged that Vertro and the individual defendants violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and that the individual defendants also violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act as “control persons.” Plaintiffs sought unspecified damages and other relief alleging that, during the putative class period, Vertro made certain misleading statements and omitted material information. The court granted Defendants' motion for summary judgment on November 16, 2009, and the court entered final judgment in favor of all Defendants on December 7, 2009. Plaintiffs appealed the summary judgment ruling and the court's prior orders dismissing certain claims. On September 30, 2011, the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of
9
of the
11
alleged misstatements and reversed the court's prior order on summary judgment and the case has been remanded to the District Court. In October 2012 the District Court entered an order maintaining the existing stay on discovery pending a ruling on the defendants' motion for summary judgment.
14
Derivative Stockholder Litigation
. On July 25, 2005, a stockholder, Bruce Verduyn, filed a putative derivative action purportedly on behalf of Vertro in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, against certain of Vertro's directors and officers. This action is based on substantially the same facts alleged in the securities class action litigation described above. The complaint is seeking to recover damages in an unspecified amount. By agreement of the parties and by orders of the court, the case was stayed pending the resolution of the defendant's motion to dismiss in the securities class action. On July 10, 2007, the parties filed a stipulation to continue the stay of the litigation. On July 13, 2007, the court granted the stipulation to continue the stay and administratively closed the case pending notification by plaintiff's counsel that the case is due to be reopened.
Litigation Relating to the Merger.
On October 27, 2011, a complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against Vertro, its directors, Inuvo, and Anhinga Merger Subsidiary, Inc. on behalf of a putative class of Vertro shareholders (the “New York Action”). Two other complaints, also purportedly brought on behalf of the same class of shareholders, were filed on November 3 and 10, 2011, against these same defendants in Delaware Chancery Court and were ultimately consolidated by the Court (the “Delaware Action”). The plaintiffs in both the New York and the Delaware Actions alleged that Vertro's board of directors breached their fiduciary duties regarding the merger with Inuvo and that Vertro, Inuvo, and Anhinga Merger Subsidiary, Inc. aided and abetted the alleged breach of fiduciary duties. The plaintiffs asked that the merger be enjoined and sought other unspecified monetary relief.
Defendants in the Delaware Action moved to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint, but before the briefing of that motion was complete the plaintiffs filed a notice and proposed order of voluntary dismissal without prejudice, which was entered by the Delaware Court on March 20, 2012. The defendants in the New York Action also moved to dismiss the complaint, or in the alternative to stay proceedings. The New York Court granted Defendants' motion to stay on February 22, 2012 and, as a result of this ruling, the Court denied without prejudice defendants' motion to dismiss and the plaintiff's pending request for expedited discovery. Plaintiffs in the New York action then filed a Second Amended Complaint on June 19, 2012 and, on July 9, 2012, Defendants moved to dismiss that complaint for failure to state a claim. A hearing was held on January 31, 2013, regarding Defendants' motion to dismiss. A ruling on the motion to dismiss is pending.
Express Revenue, Inc. v. Inuvo, Inc.; Case No. 10-44118-13, in the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit of Florida.
On November 4, 2010, the plaintiff filed this lawsuit alleging breach of oral contract, and violation of Florida Statute
§68.065
, among other claims, and seeking approximately
$30,000
for allegedly unpaid commissions dating back to 2009. The case was settled in August 2013 for an immaterial amount.
Corporate Square, LLC v. Think Partnership, Inc., Scott Mitchell, and Kristine Mitchell; Case No. 08-019230-CI-11, in the Circuit Court for the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Florida.
This complaint, filed on December 17, 2008, involves a claim by a former commercial landlord for alleged improper removal of an electric generator and for unpaid electricity expenses, amounting to approximately
$60,000
. The litigation has not been actively prosecuted, but the plaintiff recently served discovery requests seeking additional information. Inuvo is actively defending this action, and the co-defendants' separate counsel is likewise defending the claim against the co-defendants.
Oltean, et al. v. Think Partnership, Inc.; Edmonton, Alberta CA.
On March 6, 2008, Kelly Oltean, Mike Baldock and Terry Schultz, former employees, filed a breach of employment claim against Inuvo in The Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Edmonton, Canada, claiming damages for wrongful dismissal in the amount of
$200,000
for each of Kelly Oltean and Terry Schultz and
$187,500
for Mike Baldock. On March 6, 2008, the same three plaintiffs filed a similar statement of claim against Vintacom Acquisition Company, ULC, a subsidiary of Inuvo, again for wrongful dismissal and claiming the same damages. In October 2009, the
two
actions were consolidated. The case is in the discovery stage and Inuvo is vigorously defending the matter.
Reverso-Softissimo v. ALOT
. In May 2012 a complaint was filed against us in the Court of First Instance of Paris in Paris, France. The complaint is related to our alleged use of Reverso-Softissimo's trademarks in our advertising. The case is in the initial stages and Inuvo is vigorously defending the matter.
Sobota Class Action; Case No.: 1:13-cv-01963 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division
. On March 13, 2013, the plaintiff filed this purported class action against us and a number of other defendants alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Illinois Prizes and Gifts Act and seeking unspecified damages. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case against us in July 2013 with prejudice.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Company Overview
Inuvo®, Inc. and subsidiaries ("we", "us" or "our") is an Internet marketing and technology company that delivers targeted advertisements into websites reaching desktop and mobile devices.
At its core, our business is built on the delivery of Internet advertisements to consumers. Most of our revenue is generated when a consumer clicks on an advertisement we have delivered, although we also generate revenue through sales commissions and sponsored advertisements. We manage our business as two segments, Network and Applications.
The Network segment facilitates transactions between advertisers and partners' websites and applications, as well as our own websites and applications. We deliver targeted advertisements to both desktop and mobile devices. The majority of revenue generated by this segment is derived from clicks on advertisements. The proprietary technology platform that supports the Network segment provides advertisers and publishers numerous benefits, including performance reporting, targeting and fraud detection, all of which we believe differentiates us in our marketplace.
The Applications segment designs, builds and markets consumer applications, including our ALOT Appbar (the "Appbar") and its product portfolio and our BargainMatch CashBack application. The majority of revenue generated by this segment is derived from clicks on advertisements, sales commissions and sponsored advertisements within applications.
On March 1, 2012 we acquired Vertro, Inc. (the "March 2012 Acquisition"), an Internet company that owns and operates the ALOT product portfolio.
2013 Highlights
We have taken several significant steps to take costs out of the business and position ourselves for long-term success, including:
•
the renewal of our service agreement with Google;
•
the
$1.75 million
grant from the state of Arkansas;
•
the relocation of our corporate headquarters to Conway, AR;
•
the closing of our office in Clearwater, FL;
•
the subleasing of our office in New York, NY; and
•
the relocation of our data centers from New York City to Arkansas.
On January 25, 2013, we agreed with the state of Arkansas to receive a grant of up to
$1.75 million
to relocate our corporate headquarters to Conway, Arkansas. In accepting the grant, we agreed to have at least
50
full-time equivalent, permanent positions in Arkansas within
four
years, and maintain that personnel level for another
six
years at a total average compensation of
$90,000
per year. If we fail to meet the requirements of the grant after the initial four year period, we may be required to repay a portion of the grant, up to but not to exceed the full amount of the grant. Based on our hiring and financial forecasts, we believe we will meet all grant requirements.
In conjunction with the relocation to Conway, we exited our Clearwater, FL office lease and found a subtenant for our office in New York City. In addition, we have procured space for a new data center in Arkansas, which will allow us to shut down our two data center facilities in New York City. These activities are complete with the exception of the relocation of our two New York City data centers, which will be completed during the third quarter of 2013. All together, we expect these activities to contribute cost savings of approximately $120,000 per month.
As of June 30, 2013, we had 23 employees located in Arkansas, with immediate plans to hire at least three additional employees.
We believe these key strategic activities will improve our financial performance and provide a path for the long-term success of our business.

NYSE MKT
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE MKT, LLC (the "Exchange"). In November 2012, we were notified by the Exchange that we were out of compliance with certain aspects of their listing requirements; specifically, due to losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in our five most recent fiscal years, the Exchange's minimum requirement for continued listing is stockholders' equity of not less than
6,000,000
. We were afforded the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance to the Exchange by December 31, 2012, to demonstrate our ability to regain compliance with their listing standards. We submitted our plan and were notified on February 15, 2013 that it was accepted. We are able to continue our listing during the plan period, which ends December 2, 2013, though subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the plan. As of
June 30, 2013
our stockholders' equity was
$4,581,976
.

Net revenue during the
three
months ended
June 30, 2013
increased
$256,447
compared to net revenue during the same period of
2012
. Our Network segment saw an increase in net revenue, while the Applications segment saw a decline.
Net revenue of the Network segment increased
$4,650,982
, or
85.5 percent
, in the second quarter of 2013 over the same period of the prior year. The increase is due to a higher number of transactions processed through our platform supporting owned and partner websites as well as growth in mobile. We experienced chargebacks and Yahoo policy changes in the first quarter of 2013, which impacted revenue in April and May, with subsequent recovery in June. We have focused growth activity within this segment towards owned and operated websites, the expansion to mobile and the deployment of intelligent Ad units for publishers.
Net revenue of the Applications segment decreased
$4,394,535
, or
59.1 percent
, in the second quarter of 2013 over the same period of the prior year. The decline in revenue within this segment was the result of policy changes made by Google that have adversely impacted our ability to acquire new users and monetize them at historical levels. As a result, we have reduced the amount we spend to acquire Appbar users. Although resulting in fewer new Appbar users, this strategy allows us to allocate investment to more profitable areas of the business. We expect the business to stabilize during the remainder of 2013.
During 2013, we have released an ALOT Appbar extension for the Chrome web browser, allowing us to reach more web users with our consumer applications, and we have added additional apps to the Appbar. For the remainder of 2013, we plan to continue to launch new apps and explore distribution channels and other revenue opportunities.

Cost of revenue in our Network business was
48.9 percent
higher in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. This is primarily due to payments to our website publishers, which are directly associated with the higher revenue. The
18
higher cost of revenue was partially offset by a decline in data acquisition costs. Effective May 1, 2013, we no longer acquire names lists, which we bought to resell to advertisers.
The Applications segment saw a decline in cost of revenue of
82.9 percent
during the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same quarter a year ago. As discussed above, we have significantly decreased our investment in acquiring new users and expect customer acquisition expense to stabilize around current levels.

Operating expenses decreased

Search costs decreased

due to a reduction in search spend to acquire Appbar users. This was partially offset by spend to grow owned and operated websites, particularly local.alot.com. We expect Appbar search spend to stabilize around current levels, while we expect search spend for our owned and operated websites to increase as we emphasize these services.
Compensation expense is
10.5 percent
lower than the same period last year due to operational efficiencies and reduced payroll related to our relocation to Arkansas.
Selling, general and administrative costs declined
31.6 percent
as compared to the same period in the prior year. This decline is primarily from cost savings related to the relocation to Arkansas and other operating efficiencies. We expect compensation and selling, general and administrative costs together to be optimized at approximately $1 million per month.
Interest Expense, net
For the second quarter of 2013, interest expense, net was
$66,328
. This primarily includes interest charges generated by our credit facility debt with Bridge Bank, offset by interest income of $30,000 for interest on our security deposit for a former office lease. For the same period in 2012, interest expense, net was
$104,731
, which represents interest on our Bridge Bank credit facility.
Income Taxes
We recognized an income tax benefit of
$79,247
during the second quarter of 2013 due to a decrease in our deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of intangible assets. In the same period of 2012, income tax expense consisted of franchise taxes of
$45,977
.
Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations includes activity related to the remaining assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the European Union. During the second quarter of 2013, we recognized income from discontinued operation of
$283,015
, generated by a reduction of certain accrued liabilities originating in 2009 and earlier. The net loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2012 was
$155,236
, driven by costs related to a denial of an appeal on a tax ruling.

This is directly related to the increase in revenue and is primarily due to payments to our website publishers, which are directly associated with the higher revenue. The higher cost of revenue was partially offset by a decline in data acquisition costs. Effective May 1, 2013 we are no longer spending to acquire names lists, which we bought to resell to advertisers. In March 2013, we determined that our names list purchases no longer had a useful life, and we recognized a charge of
$322,771
in Network cost of revenue as a result.
The Applications segment saw a decline in cost of revenue of
66.8 percent
as compared to the prior year. This decline is primarily due to 2012 purchases of bundled downloads to drive revenue through the Appbar. As discussed above, we have significantly decreased our investment in this distribution channel and expect customer acquisition expense to stabilize around current levels.

This decline is primarily from cost savings related to the relocation to Arkansas and operating efficiencies, which offset the increase in other expenses. In addition, the first half of 2012 includes approximately $436,000 of direct acquisition costs.
Interest Expense, net
For the first half of 2013, interest expense, net was
$172,997
. This primarily includes interest charges generated by our credit facility debt with Bridge Bank, offset by interest income of $30,000 for interest on our security deposit for a former office lease. For the same period in 2012, interest expense, net was
$271,431

Income Taxes
We recognized an income tax benefit of
$162,247
during the second quarter of 2013 due to a decrease in our deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of intangible assets. In the same period of 2012, franchise taxes resulted in expense of
$61,977
.
Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations includes activity related to the remaining assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the European Union. During the first six months of 2013, we recognized income from discontinued operation of
$408,108
, generated by a reduction of certain accrued liabilities originating in 2009 and earlier and the favorable resolution of a German tax audit. The net loss from discontinued operations for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2012
was
$156,943
, driven by costs related to a denial of an appeal on a tax ruling.
21
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
During 2012, our liquidity was unfavorably affected by significant investments in search costs to increase consumer downloads of our Appbar product. At
June 30, 2013
we had a net working capital deficit of approximately
$3.1 million
. This is approximately
$0.3 million
less than our working capital deficit at
December 31, 2012
and approximately $0.9 million less than our working capital deficit at March 31, 2013.
Though we benefited from operating efficiencies from the March 2012 Acquisition, we took additional steps to reduce our operating costs in response to our working capital deficit and unfavorable developments in our liquidity status in 2012. We project the relocation to Arkansas will save us approximately $2.5 million in annual rent and payroll costs.
To conserve cash, we may from time to time delay payments to our website publishers and other vendors, which may affect their decisions to do business with us.
Our revolving line of credit with Bridge Bank allows for up to $10 million in borrowings, and we had approximately
$1.2 million
in availability as of
June 30, 2013
.
We believe that cash flows from operations, the revolving line of credit and the relocation to Arkansas will provide us with sufficient cash for operations over the next 12 months. In addition, we do not have any commitments for capital expenditures. Though we do not have an additional external source of liquidity, we believe we could attract additional financing should the need arise.
Cash Flows - Operating
Net cash provided by operating activities for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2013
was
$662,619
, as compared to a use of cash of
$302,905
for the same period in 2012.
During 2013, we produced net income of
$90,862
, which included non-cash depreciation and amortization of
$1,955,701
and stock-based compensation of
$300,413
. We paid down a portion of our current liabilities, resulting in a net use of cash in working capital of
$1,243,285
.
During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2012
, we generated a net loss of
$4,838,205
, which was partially offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization of
$3,956,384
and stock-based compensation of
$386,864
. Working capital was a source of cash of
$198,106
for the period as collections on accounts receivable outpaced payments on our current liabilities.
Cash Flows - Investing
Net cash used in investing activities was
$320,419
during the first half of 2013. In connection with the move to Arkansas, we purchased new servers and other computer equipment for our data center and built out our new office. In total, we had cash outlays for capital expenditures of
$681,231
, offset by grant funds received from the state of Arkansas of
$360,812
. The remaining balance represents software development costs on our consumer-facing applications.
Net cash provided by investing activities in the first half of 2012 of
$388,293
was primarily associated with the March 2012 Acquisition, offset by the purchase of bundled downloads for the Appbar and capitalized development costs.
Cash Flows - Financing
Net cash used in financing activities was
$571,459
for the first half of 2013. This was driven by net payments made on the credit facility of
$910,217
, offset by the release of
$301,158
in restricted cash which served as collateral for our letter of credit related to our Clearwater, FL office lease.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first half of 2012 was
$3,974,342
, generated by net proceeds from the credit facility of
$4,449,342
, including proceeds from the new term note of
$5,000,000
. This was offset by the deposit of restricted cash to serve as collateral for our letter of credit related to the Clearwater, FL lease of
$475,000
.
22
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
June 30, 2013
, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of
June 30, 2013
, the end of the period covered by this report, our management concluded its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As of the evaluation date, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We discuss material legal proceedings to which we are subject in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the issuance of our most recent Form 10-K we were named as a defendant in the following case.
Sobota Class Action; Case No.: 1:13-cv-01963 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division
. On March 13, 2013, the plaintiff filed this purported class action against us and a number of other defendants alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and Illinois Prizes and Gifts Act and seeking unspecified damages. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case against us in July 2013 with prejudice.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Accordingly, we incorporate by reference the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2013, as amended, subject to the new or modified risk factors appearing below that should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in such Form 10-K.
We depend on two customers for a significant portion of our revenues.
We receive the majority of our revenue from two customers, Yahoo! and Google. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we received
92.8 percent
and
92.0 percent
, respectively, of our net revenue from Yahoo! and Google. Our current contract with Yahoo! expires in April 2014, while our current contract with Google expires in January 2015. The amount of revenue we receive from these customers depends on a number of factors outside of our control, including the amount they charge for advertisements, the depth of advertisements available from them, and their ability to display relevant ads in response to our end-user queries. We will likely experience a significant decline in revenue and our business operations could be significantly harmed if:
•
we fail to have websites and applications approved;
•
our paid listings providers' performance deteriorates; or
•
we violate our paid listings providers' guidelines or they change their implementation guidelines.
In addition, if any of these preceding circumstances were to occur, we may not be able to find a suitable alternate paid search results provider or otherwise replace the lost revenues. The loss of either of these customers or a material change in the revenue or gross profit generated by these customers will have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods.
We are transitioning our headquarters and operations from New York to Arkansas.
We have accepted a grant of $1.75 million from the state of Arkansas to relocate our New York headquarters and Florida facilities to Arkansas and are in the process of transitioning our headquarters and operations. This transition has required and will continue to require the hiring and training of new employees in Arkansas. We may be unable to find employees with the requisite technical skills. We may not find adequate personnel early enough to learn and take on roles of departing employees who will not relocate. We are in the process of closing our two data operations collocations in New York and opening a new facility in Arkansas. We may be unable to make the transition of data operations without disruption causing loss of revenue and customers. We are obligated under the grant to provide employment to fifty persons with an average annual compensation of $90,000 within Arkansas by the fourth anniversary of the grant. If we are unable to do so, we will be obligated to reimburse the state on a pro rata formula basis up to the total amount of grant we received.
The success of our business is dependent on our ability to maintain and grow our active consumer base.
Our Applications segment operates a portfolio of websites and consumer-oriented interactive products including appbars and home pages, deriving the majority of its revenue from advertisements directed towards consumers. The amount of revenue generated by the Applications segment is dependent on our ability to maintain and grow our user base. Factors that influence our ability to maintain and grow our active user base include, but are not limited to, government regulation, our monetization partner's client application guidelines, acceptance of our Appbar products and websites by consumers, the availability of advertising to promote our websites and Appbar products, third-party designation of Appbar and/or other products as undesirable or malicious, user attrition, competition, and sufficiency of capital to purchase advertising. Our Applications segment has suffered significant declines in its' user base due to changes in Google's client application guidelines and the availability of advertising to promote our Appbar products. While we believe that marketing and product changes will enable us to stabilize our Application segment, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to reverse current trends. We acquire users of our websites
24
and ALOT products primarily through online advertising that we purchase from ad networks at prices agreed to based on expected rate of return. We have historically experienced difficulties in achieving cost effective distribution for ALOT products because we were unable to acquire our targeted number of users at desired prices. If we are unable to maintain and grow our active user base, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
