Inuvo, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization and Business
 
Company Overview
 
Inuvo, Inc. and subsidiaries ("we", "us" or "our") are an internet advertising technology and digital publishing company.

We develop technology to deliver content and targeted advertisements over the internet. We generate revenue when an end user clicks on the advertisements we delivered. We manage our business as two segments, the Partner Network and the Owned and Operated Network.
 
The Partner Network delivers advertisements to our partners' owned or managed websites and applications on desktop, tablet and mobile devices. We generate revenue in this segment when an advertisement is clicked and we share a portion of that revenue with our partners. Our proprietary technology platform allows for targeted distribution of advertisements at a scale that measures in the hundreds of millions of advertisements delivered monthly.

The Owned and Operated Network designs, builds and markets consumer websites and applications. This segment consists of our mobile-ready ALOT websites and acquired web properties. The focus is on providing engaging content to our users. The majority of revenue generated by this segment is derived from clicks on advertisements delivered through web searches and advertisements displayed on the websites.

We have taken several significant steps to position our business for long-term success including investments in ad serving technology, the development of adaptive, programmatic and native advertising units, the creation of proprietary content, the expansion of publishers within the partner network and the optimization of overhead and operational costs all of which we expect will improve revenue and profitability.

Liquidity

On September 29, 2014, we renewed our Business Financing Agreement with Bridge Bank, N.A. ("Bridge Bank") (see Note 5, "Notes Payable"). The renewal provided continued access to the revolving line of credit up to $10 million through September 2016 and a new term loan of $2 million through September 2017. As of June 30, 2015, the revolving line of credit had approximately $5.8 million in availability. During the first quarter of 2014 we filed an S-3 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to replace the existing, expiring S-3 “shelf” registration statement. Though we believe the revolving line of credit and cash generated by operations will provide sufficient cash for operations over the next twelve months, we may still elect to sell stock to the public or to selected investors, or borrow under the current or any replacement line of credit or other debt instruments in order to fund the development of our technologies, make acquisitions, pursue new business opportunities or grow existing businesses.

Customer concentration

We generate the majority of our revenue from two customers, Yahoo! and Google. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 these two customers combined accounted for 96.5% and 94.8% of our gross accounts receivable balance, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, these two customers combined accounted for 98.3% of net revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, these two customers combined accounted for 96.9% and 96.3% of net revenue, respectively.


Note 2 – Summary of 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 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, 2014, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In our

7



opinion, these consolidated 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, 2014, which was filed with the SEC on February 9, 2015.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("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, including the Arkansas grant contingency, and stock compensation. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10 Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed and determinable, no significant obligations remain and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

Most of our revenue is generated through clicks on advertisements presented on our properties or those of our partners. We recognize revenue from clicks in the period in which the click occurs. Payments to partners who display advertisements on our behalf are recognized as cost of revenue. Revenue from data sales and commissions is recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs and the other revenue recognition criteria are met.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In August 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which will require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In January 2015, FASB issued Update No. 2015-01, Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This Update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On March 1, 2012 we entered into a Business Financing Agreement with Bridge Bank. The agreement provided us with a $5 million 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 with a first priority perfected security interest in all of our accounts and personal property as collateral for the credit facility. Available funds under the revolving credit line are 80% of eligible accounts receivable balances plus $1 million, up to a limit of $10 million. Eligible accounts receivable is generally defined as those from United States based customers that are not more than 90 days from the date of invoice. We had approximately $5.8 million available under the revolving credit line as of June 30, 2015.

In September 2014, the Company entered into the Fifth Business Financing Modification Agreement with Bridge Bank that renewed the existing Agreement and modified some terms. The renewed agreement extended the revolving line of credit to September 2016 and provided for a new term loan of $2 million through September 2017. On October 9, 2014, the Agreement was amended to clarify the definition of the financial covenants. The financial covenants are Debt Service Coverage Ratio, measured monthly on a trailing three months basis, of not less than 1.75 to 1.0 for the August 2014 measuring period, and each month measuring period thereafter and an Asset Coverage Ratio, measured monthly, of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 for the months ended August 2014 and September 30, 2014; 1.15 to 1.0 for the months ended October 31, 2014, November 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014, and 1.25 to 1.0 for the month ending January 31, 2015 and each month thereafter. We were in compliance with all bank covenants as of June 30, 2015.

In February 2015, we settled a disputed income tax claim with the State of New Jersey. The claim related to the 2007-2009 tax years and was settled for $100,000. As a result, the long-term taxes payable liability of $506,453 was adjusted to zero.

On May 8, 2015, we purchased two domain websites with a fair value of $715,874 (see Note 4). The purchase consideration is our common stock and is contingent upon the seller attaining specific performance targets over three years.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

We have a deferred tax liability of $3,552,500 as of June 30, 2015, related to our intangible assets.

We also have a net deferred tax asset of approximately $41,000,000. We have evaluated this asset and are unable to support a conclusion that it is more likely than not that any of this asset will be realized. As such, the net deferred tax asset is fully reserved. We will continue to evaluate our deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit.

Due to the settlement of a disputed income tax claim with the State of New Jersey (see Note 7), the accrual for other long-term liabilities for uncertain tax positions was adjusted to zero and approximately $406,000 was credited to income tax expense.

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 units ("RSUs") from the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2005 LTIP") and the 2010 Equity Compensation Plan (“2010 ECP”). Option and restricted stock unit vesting periods are generally up to three years.

11




For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded stock-based compensation expense for all equity incentive plans of $82,750 and $134,674, respectively and $248,382 and $378,830 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Total compensation cost not yet recognized at June 30, 2015 was $409,649 to be recognized over a weighted-average recognition period of 0.7 years.

On April 1, 2014, we granted certain employees a total of 82,000 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $0.80 per share which vest annually over three years. On April 22, 2014, we granted employees a performance RSU contingent upon achieving 2014 profit targets. On January 21, 2015, the number of RSUs issued under the April 22, 2014 performance grant was 697,853 shares with a weighted average fair value of $1.13 per share.

On April 29, 2014, we granted members of our board of directors a total of 102,560 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $.78 a share which were fully vested by March 31, 2015. In September 2014, 20,073 RSUs were granted to a new director with a weighted average fair value of $1.53 per share which were fully vested by March 31, 2015. On April 20, 2015, we granted members of our board of directors a total of 51,948 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $2.31 a share which fully vest on March 31, 2016.

We also have 77,300 options outstanding with exercise prices from $16.01 to $17.08 under a separate plan which is not authorized to issue any additional shares.

Note 10 – Discontinued Operations

Certain of our subsidiaries previously operated in the European Union ("EU"). Though operations ceased in 2009, statutory requirements require a continued presence in the EU for varying terms until November 2015. Profits and losses generated from the remaining assets and liabilities are accounted for as discontinued operations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $14,692 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 net income of $5,567 largely due to translation adjustments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net income from discontinued operations of $17,782 and $43,894, respectively, which came primarily from an adjustment of certain accrued liabilities originating in 2009 and earlier.

Note 11 - Earnings per Share

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we generated net income from continuing operations. Accordingly, some of our outstanding stock options, warrants 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 three month period ending June 30, 2015 and $0.04 for the six month period ending June 30, 2015.

In addition, we have potentially dilutive options and warrants. We have 349,463 outstanding stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $5.92 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 354,660 outstanding stock options with a weighted average price of $5.84 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. All restrictive stock units and warrants were dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had 51,948 restrictive stock units outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $2.31 and 675,000 warrants outstanding with a weighted average exercise prices of $2.20.

Note 12 - Leases

We lease certain office space and equipment. As leases expire, it can be expected that they will be renewed or replaced in the normal course of business. Rent expense from continuing operations was $14,866 and $12,900 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively and a credit of $9,179 and $12,174 three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The credit is primarily due to subleasing the company’s former New York City office at a higher rate than its lease cost.

We also entered into an agreement to lease office space in Conway, Arkansas for two years in the total amount of $193,200 which we prepaid. The lease terminated in February 2015 and now continues on a month to month basis. The lessor of this space is First Orion Corp., which is owned by a director and stockholder of Inuvo.

In April 2015, we entered into a five year agreement to lease office space in Little Rock, Arkansas, commencing September 1, 2015, to serve as our headquarters. The new lease is for 12,245 square feet and will cost approximately $171,000 during its first year. Thereafter, the lease payment will increase by 2% . We anticipate vacating the Conway, AR premises upon occupying the Little Rock headquarters.


Note 13 - Litigation and Settlements

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:


13



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.

Admanage Litigation. In May 2014 Inuvo and its wholly owned subsidiary ValidClick, Inc. filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Faulkner County Arkansas against certain former distribution partners of our Publisher Network, i.e., Admanage S.A., ClickFind Media Corp., Neo Clicks, Inc. and Neoclicks Internet Services Corp., demanding return of an aggregate of approximately $134,000 paid to such distribution partners during time periods when Inuvo and ValidClick allege that the activities of the distribution partners violated the ValidClick terms of service.  In July 2014, Admanage S.A., Neoclicks Internet Services and ClickFind Media Corp. filed a suit against Inuvo and ValidClick in United States District Court Eastern District of Arkansas Western Division, alleging, among other things breach of contract for non payment of approximately $696,000 allegedly earned by the distribution partners.  Admanage S.A., Neoclicks Internet Services and ClickFind Media Corp. subsequently removed the Faulkner County Circuit Court lawsuit to United States District Court Eastern District of Arkansas Western Division, and the two cases have now been consolidated into the removed case.  Inuvo is vigorously defending the matter.  

Note 14 - Segments
 
We operate our business as two segments, Partner Network and Owned and Operated Network which are described in Note 1.

Listed below is a presentation of net revenue and gross profit for all reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. We currently only track certain assets at the segment level and therefore assets by segment are not presented below.

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. The lease terminated in February 2015 and now continues on a month to month basis. A director and shareholder of Inuvo is the majority owner of the lessor of this space.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Company Overview
 
Inuvo, Inc. is an internet advertising technology and digital publishing company.

We develop technology to deliver content and targeted advertisements over the internet. We generate revenue when an end user clicks on the advertisements we delivered. We manage our business as two segments, the Partner Network and the Owned and Operated Network.

The Partner Network delivers advertisements to our partners' owned or managed websites and applications on desktop, tablet and mobile devices. We generate revenue in this segment when an advertisement is clicked and we share a portion of that revenue with our partners. Our proprietary technology platform allows for targeted distribution of advertisements at a scale that measures in the hundreds of millions of advertisements delivered monthly.

The Owned and Operated Network designs, builds and markets consumer websites and applications. This segment consists of our mobile-ready ALOT websites and acquired web properties. The focus is on providing engaging content to our users. The majority of revenue generated by this segment is derived from clicks on advertisements delivered through web searches and advertisements displayed on the websites.

We have taken several significant steps to position our business for long-term success including investments in ad serving technology, the development of adaptive, programmatic and native advertising units, the creation of proprietary content, the expansion of publishers within the Partner Network and the optimization of overhead and operational costs all of which we expect will improve revenue and profitability. Our ALOT-branded websites and applications have a broad appeal focusing on popular topics such as health, local search, finance, careers, travel, living and education. These sites are content rich, searchable, mobile-ready web properties. We plan to continue the expansion of our website and mobile application business, and in the first half of 2015 launched an education site under the ALOT brand. In 2015, we announced the beta launch of our proprietary native advertising solution for web publishers and application developers, "SearchLinks"®. This is our entry product in the fast growing native advertising marketplace where ad copy seamlessly integrates with the content of the host website or application. We will make SearchLinks widely available to the marketplace beginning in the third quarter of 2015 and expect it to be a significant contributor to our growth.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements appearing earlier in this report.

Net revenue increased 52.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $16.7 million compared to $10.9 million in the same period in the prior year and 43.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $30.1 million compared to $21.0 million in the

15



same period in the prior year. Both segments grew compared to the prior year, the Partner Network by 66.7% to $9.3 million and the Owned and Operated Network by 38.6% to $7.4 million. In the first half of 2015, we have also increased our sales allowance by approximately $300,000 to account for potential adjustments from advertisers.

The Partner Network, which represents 56% of our total net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015, delivers advertisements to our partners' websites and applications. Revenue in this segment is both a function of the total number of transactions processed through the ValidClick platform and the revenue we receive per transaction. The year over year growth rates in the second quarter and first half of 2015 in the Partner Network were robust. During the second quarter of 2015, several partners focused their marketing efforts on verticals where they found above market ROIs (return on investment), which accelerated revenue growth. ROIs return to market equilibrium as competitors uncover the lucrative verticals. In this regard, we do not expect the growth rates we experienced in the second quarter to continue during the balance of 2015. From time to time, our advertisement suppliers modify their policies to reflect market conditions.  Such policy changes have in the past and may in the future impact our revenue.

The Owned and Operated Network represents 44% of our total net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and generates revenue through our consumer-facing websites and applications. We have a number of web properties under the ALOT brand; including ALOT Health, ALOT Finance, ALOT Careers, ALOT Local, ALOT Travel, ALOT Living, and ALOT Education which was launched in the second quarter of 2015. These websites are content-rich and optimized for mobile and desktop devices, and are designed to capitalize on a growing consumer demand for content, delivered both on the desktop and on mobile devices. The revenue from our combined websites was $10.7 million in the first half of 2015 compared to $8.5 million in the first half of 2014. We intend to continue to expand our Owned and Operated Network by enhancing our current websites and mobile applications, launching additional mobile applications, acquiring additional web properties and expanding the content of the ALOT sites.

Cost of revenue in the Partner Network is generated by payments to website publishers and application owners who host our
advertisements. The increase in cost of revenue is directly associated with higher revenue in this segment. The higher gross margin in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter last year was due primarily to adjusting publisher payments associated with maintaining contractual standards.

The decrease in cost of revenue in the Owned and Operated Network was driven primarily by the continued transition away from the ALOT Appbar product, which by 2015 has become relatively insignificant. Other cost of revenue in this segment consists of charges for web searches and content acquisition.

We expect gross margins to maintain the current level for the remainder of 2015 but could vary based on the individual growth rates of the two segments. See Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 57% and 40%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year primarily due to an increase in marketing costs. Marketing costs include those expenditures designed specifically to attract traffic to our Owned and Operated Network websites. Marketing costs increased to promote the growth of the owned and operated website business. The 32% increase in the Owned and Operated Network segment revenue in the first half of 2015 compared to the same period last year is largely related to the higher marketing spend this year. We expect marketing costs to continue to increase as we expand our owned and operated business.

Compensation expenses increased in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same periods of 2014 due primarily to an increase in the number of employees. Our total employment, both full-time and part-time was 56 at June 30, 2015, compared to 40 at the same time last year. We expect compensation expense to continue to increase in the coming quarters as we hire additional developers and sales personnel to support the newly launched SearchLinks product.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to higher professional fees, which were $70,000 higher in the three month period and $97,000 higher in the six month period when compared to the same periods last year. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in the coming quarters commensurate with our growth.

Interest expense, net
 
Interest expense, net was $37,412 and $103,301 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $88,573 and $201,103 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This is interest expense on the bank credit facility where outstanding loan balances were higher in the three and six month periods last year compared to the same periods this year.
Income tax benefit (expense)

For the six months period ended June 30, 2015, we recognized a tax benefit due to settling a disputed income tax claim with the State of New Jersey in February 2015. The claim related to the 2007-2009 tax years and was settled for $100,000. As a result, the remaining long-term taxes payable liability was adjusted and resulted in a one-time $406,000 income tax benefit. The tax expense of $34,700 recognized in the second quarter of 2015 is related to state income tax.

Income from Discontinued Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $14,692 and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 net income of $5,567 largely due to translation adjustments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net income from discontinued operations of $17,782 and $43,894, respectively, which came primarily from an adjustment of certain accrued liabilities originating in 2009 and earlier.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On September 29, 2014, we renewed our Business Financing Agreement with Bridge Bank (see Note 5, "Notes Payable"). The renewal provided continued access to the revolving line of credit up to $10 million through September 2016 and a new term loan of $2 million through September 2017. As of June 30, 2015, the revolving line of credit had approximately $5.8 million in availability.

During the first quarter of 2014, we filed an S-3 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to replace the existing, expiring S-3 "shelf" registration statement, which permits us to offer and sell up to $15 million of our securities from time to time in one or more offerings. To date, we have not taken down any sales from this shelf registration statement. Though we believe the revolving line of credit and cash generated by operations will provide sufficient cash for operations over the next twelve months, we may still elect to sell securities to the public or to selected investors, or borrow under the current or any replacement line of credit or other debt instruments in order to fund the development of our technologies, make acquisitions, pursue new business opportunities or grow existing businesses.

Cash Flows - Operating

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,067,594 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. We produced net income of $1,071,318, which included several non-cash expenses; depreciation and amortization expense of

17



$843,085, stock-based compensation expense of $134,674, partially offset by an adjustment of $406,453 for accrued income tax. The change in operating assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was a provision of $1,439,233 as a result of better working capital management primarily as a result of accounts payable increasing $2,665,878 partially offset by a $1,235,153 increase in the accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2015. Revenue was substantially higher in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period last year. The higher business activity caused higher balances at June 30, 2015. Our terms are such, that we generally collect receivables prior to paying trade payables.

During the comparable period in 2014 we generated cash from operating activities of $1,596,503 from a net income of $1,057,050, which included several non-cash expenses; depreciation and amortization of $896,309 and stock-based compensation of $378,830.

Cash Flows - Investing

Net cash used in investing activities was $577,140 and $375,285 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash used in investing activities during both periods primarily consisted of capitalized internal development costs.

Cash Flows - Financing

Net cash used in financing activities was $2,425,640 during 2015. We had sufficient cash at June 30, 2015 to pay down the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility to zero. The bank term loan has been paid down to $1,500,001 at June 30, 2015.

In 2014, net cash used in financing activities was $957,334 and was used to reduce the bank term loan.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2015, 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.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  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 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 have been 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 control. 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 its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become

18



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, 2015, the end of the period covered by this report, our management concluded their 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 were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

See Note 13, Litigation and Settlements, for a discussion of outstanding legal proceedings.

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, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2015 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 rely on two customers for a significant portion of our revenues. We are reliant upon Yahoo! and Google for most of our revenue. During the second quarter of 2015 they accounted for 71.9% and 26.3% of our revenues, respectively, and during the same period 2014 they accounted for 49.5%% and 47.3%, respectively. The amount of revenue we receive from these customers is dependent 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 end-user queries.

We would likely experience a significant decline in revenue and our business operations could be significantly harmed if these customers do not approve our new websites and applications, or if we violate their guidelines or they change their 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 they generate would have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods.

Failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions in our credit facility could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of our debt, which we may not be able to repay or refinance on favorable terms. We have a credit facility with Bridge Bank, N.A. ("Bridge Bank") under which we had approximately $1.5 million in debt outstanding as of June 30, 2015. The credit facility contains a number of covenants that requires us and certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things,:

pay fees to the lender associated with the credit facility;
meet prescribed financial covenants;
maintain our corporate existence in good standing;
grant the lender a security interest in our assets;
provide financial information to the lender; and
refrain from any transfer of any of our business or property, subject to customary exceptions.
 
We have historically had difficulties meeting the financial covenants set forth in our credit agreement. Our lender has given us waivers in the past and reset our financial covenants several times. In the event of a breach of our covenants we cannot provide

19



any assurance that our lender would provide a waiver or reset our covenants. A breach in our covenants could result in a default under the credit facility, and in such event Bridge Bank could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding to be due and payable. If this occurs and we are not able to repay, Bridge Bank could require us to apply all of our available cash to repay the debt amounts and could then proceed against the underlying collateral. Should this occur, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to repay our debt in full, we would be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance the debt, or that we would be able to obtain a waiver to cure any such default. In such an event, our ability to conduct our business as it is currently conducted would be in jeopardy.

We have a history of losses and there are no assurances that we can consistently generate net income. Although we generated net income in 2013, 2014 and the first half of 2015, we have a history of net losses that have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $118,017,235 as of June 30, 2015. We cannot provide assurance that we can consistently generate a net income.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On May 8, 2015, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Lexo Advertising, LLC to purchase certain websites for up to 500,000 shares of our common stock.  Payment of the purchase price for the websites is contingent and is based solely on performance of the websites over three annual measurement periods.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Program

On July 27, 2015 the Compensation Committee of our board of directors approved our 2015 Long-Term Equity Incentive Program (the "2015 Program") which relates to RSU grants to be made under our 2010 Equity Compensation Plan (the "2010 Plan") to our employees. The Compensation Committee has allocated 700,000 shares for performance based RSU grants and 300,000 shares for service based RSU grants to be made under the 2015 Program for the period through June 30, 2018. Of the total RSU grants which may be made under the 2015 Program, 42% are allocated for grants to be made to Mr. Richard K. Howe, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 20% are allocated for grants to be made to Mr. Don Walker "Trey" Barrett III, our Chief Operating Officer, 15% are allocated for grants to be made to Mr. Wallace D. Ruiz, our Chief Financial Officer, and the balance of 23% are a pool allocation to be granted to employees.

The vesting of performance based RSU grants will be based upon our company achieving certain target 12 month revenue and minimum 12 month adjusted net income targets as described in the 2015 Program. Service based RSU grants will vest over a three year period, commencing in July 2016, at the rate of 25% of the grant in year one, 25% of the grant in year two and the remaining 50% of the grant in year three. The vesting of both the performance based and service based RSU grants is subject to continued employment with our company.

The foregoing description of the 2015 Program is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2015 Program which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
