PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Company Overview
Inuvo, Inc. and subsidiaries ("we", "us" or "our") is an internet marketing and technology company that delivers targeted advertisements to websites and applications reaching both desktop and mobile devices.
We deliver content and targeted advertisements over the internet and generate most of our revenue when an end user clicks on the advertisements we have delivered. We manage our business as two segments, the Partner Network and the Owned and Operated Network. In the third quarter of 2013 we reorganized our segments and retrospectively applied the current presentation to prior periods.
The Partner Network delivers advertisements to our partners' 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 billions 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 the ALOT Appbar (the "Appbar") and is focused 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 or advertisements displayed on the websites.
Products and Services
We deliver content and targeted advertisements to internet users, described as follows.
Partner Network
The Partner Network provides advertising services to businesses and other owners of websites and applications looking to monetize their investments in desktop, tablet and mobile properties. These services are described below.

• | ValidClick: A proprietary software as a service platform that helps owners of websites and mobile applications monetize their properties. It offers a pay-per-click solution where advertisements are targeted to consumers based on demographics and search behaviors. We are able to provide ValidClick users with access to tens of thousands of advertisers.

• | Affiliate Management: We offer an affiliate management solution providing advertisers the ability to sign up, manage and track the activities of their publishers through a privately-branded platform with full data transparency. Typically, each advertising customer is supported by a customized software implementation.

Owned and Operated Network
Our consumer-facing offerings are provided under the ALOT brand through the Owned and Operated Network.

• | ALOT Sites: We build and operate websites under the ALOT brand. During 2012, we launched a local directory listing service at local.alot.com. During 2013, we expanded our portfolio by launching content-rich, mobile-ready sites at health.alot.com, finance.alot.com and careers.alot.com. We offer advertisements primarily through search results on these sites and generate revenue when a user clicks on an advertisement we have delivered.

• | ALOT Appbar: The Appbar is a software application that a user installs in their web browser. Once installed, the user can add a number of applications to the Appbar, which provides easy access to weather, radio, shopping, social networking and other useful information. We offer advertisements in searches performed through a search box on the Appbar and generate revenue through clicks on those advertisements. Users also have the option of setting www.alot.com as their home page and ALOT as their default search engine. We also generate revenue from the Appbar through affiliate distribution programs and the sale of information we gather about our users without the disclosure of personally identifiable information.

Key Relationships
Long-standing relationships with Yahoo! and Google allow us access to millions of advertisements and generate the majority of our revenue. These companies are our primary customers and supply advertisements which we distribute. These companies are also our primary suppliers, facilitating the vast majority of our keyword search advertising. We maintain multi-year service contracts with both companies and renewed agreements with both companies during 2013. In 2013, these two customers accounted for 93.7 percent of our total revenue.
Because our primary customers have significant influence in the marketplace, they will from time to time implement policy changes to drive changes to a user's web experience. Such changes may cause significant volatility in our revenue and earnings. The loss of either of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our business.
In addition to our key customer relationships, in the Partner Network we maintain important distribution relationships with owners and publishers of websites and mobile applications. Through our relationship with Yahoo! we provide these partners with advertisements through which they monetize their websites and mobile applications. We continuously monitor our partner's traffic with a variety of proprietary software tools that can determine the quality of the traffic that is viewing and clicking on served advertisements.
Strategy
Our Partner Network strategy has been to expand our network of small and medium-sized partners in an effort to diversify our network and improve traffic quality. As a result, revenues in this segment increased 38.5 percent in 2013 over 2012. We plan to continue this strategy into 2014 with a principal focus around the mobile channel. We plan to achieve our objectives by offering innovative ad units that offer competitive monetization to our partners.
During 2013 we significantly expanded our Owned and Operated Network, launching four ALOT-branded websites. We plan to continue to launch new sites and mobile applications in 2014. These websites are all mobile ready and designed to deliver engaging content to our users.
Sales and Marketing
We drive general awareness of our brands through various marketing channels including our website, social media, blogs, public relations, trade shows, conferences and similar means. Marketing for our products differs by segment.
The Partner Network employs sales professionals that build and maintain relationships with advertisers and partners. Owners and publishers of websites and mobile applications are recruited into our network, serving as a delivery vehicle for the advertisements within this segment.
The Owned and Operated Network uses various marketing and optimization techniques to drive traffic and build awareness for the sites.
Competition
We face significant competition in our industry. Competitors are increasing their suite of offerings across marketing channels as a means to better compete for total advertising dollars.
A significant number of our competitors in both segments have greater name recognition and are better capitalized than we are. Our ability to remain competitive in our market segment depends upon our ability to be innovative and to efficiently provide unique solutions to our customers and vendors. There are no assurances we will be able to remain competitive in our markets in the future.

Partner Network
Success in the Partner Network is dependent on recruiting and retaining owners and publishers of websites and mobile applications that distribute our advertisements. Our proprietary software platform, ability to quickly implement and provide new services, and access to thousands of advertisements are significant advantages for us in building our partner base. Our competitors include companies with direct access to advertisers, such as Yahoo! and Google, and a number of companies like ours with access to advertisements. Our partners face few barriers to switch advertising providers, so to compete effectively we must offer a better service than our competitors with a competitive rate of return for our partners.
Owned and Operated Network
Consumers have many choices in online content, and our success in the Owned and Operated Network is directly tied to our ability to provide easy access to valuable content and market it effectively. Our experience in search engine marketing and access to content providers helps us compete in this segment. We have many direct competitors, including Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Perion, Local.com and others, all of which offer online media or entertainment through websites, mobile apps or software products.
Technology Platforms
Our proprietary applications are constructed from established, readily available technologies. Some of the basic components our products are built on come from leading software and hardware providers such as Oracle, Microsoft, Sun, Dell, EMC, and Cisco, while some components are constructed from leading Open Source software projects such as Apache Web Server, MySQL, Java, Perl, and Linux. By seeking to strike the proper balance between using commercially available software and Open Source software, our technology expenditures are directed toward maintaining our technology platforms while minimizing third-party technology supplier costs.
We strive to build high-performance, availability and reliability into our product offerings. We safeguard against the potential for service interruptions at our third-party technology vendors by engineering controls into our critical components. We deliver our hosted solutions from facilities, geographically disbursed throughout the United States. Our applications are monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by specialized monitoring systems that aggregate alarms to a human-staffed network operations center. If a problem occurs, appropriate engineers are notified and corrective action is taken.
Intellectual Property Rights
We currently rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Our success depends on the protection of the proprietary aspects of our technology as well as our ability to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We also enter into proprietary information and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and commercial partners and control access to, and distribution of, our software documentation and other proprietary information. We have registered a number of trademarks including ValidClick®, ValidClick AdExchange®, MyAP®, Second Bite®, Kowa!Bunga®, Inuvo®, Zubican™, LocalXML™, Yellowise™ and trade and service registrations related to our products or services, including U.S. Federal Registration for ALOT® in the United States.
We currently have one pending U.S. patent application for online shopping cart abandonment and sales recovery and one assigned patent for click fraud detection. We do not know if our current patent applications or approvals will be challenged or invalidated.
Although patents are only one component of the protection of intellectual property rights, if our patent applications are challenged, it may result in increased competition and the development of products substantially similar to our own. In addition, it is difficult to monitor unauthorized use of technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States, and our competitors may independently develop technology similar to our own. We will continue to assess appropriate occasions for seeking patent and other intellectual property protections for those aspects of our technology that we believe constitute innovations providing significant competitive advantages.
In addition to www.inuvo.com, we own multiple domain names that we may or may not operate in the future. However, as with phone numbers, we do not have and cannot acquire any property rights in an Internet address. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in other countries is also subject to change. Regulatory bodies could establish additional top-level
6

domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we might not be able to maintain our domain names or obtain comparable domain names, which could harm our business.
Employees
As of January 31, 2014 we had 34 full-time employees, none of which are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Seasonality
Our future results of operations may be subject to fluctuation as a result of seasonality. Historically, during the fourth quarter and the first quarter, it is more difficult for us to acquire traffic for our Owned and Operated Network and we see a decrease in traffic from our Partner Network distribution partners. Additionally, online consumer traffic is generally lower during the summer months, as consumers spend less time on the Internet. If we are not able to appropriately adjust to seasonal or other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
History
We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada in October 1987 in the oil and gas industry. This endeavor was not profitable, and from 1993 to 1997 we had essentially no operations. In 1997 we reorganized and through 2006 we acquired a number of companies involved in advertising and internet marketing. In 2009, we reassessed the array of businesses that had been acquired in the preceding years and sold or retired eleven businesses.
In May 2011 we exited the inbound telemarketing operations driven by our lead generation website www.babytobee.com. As a result, we terminated our outsourcing relationship with a telemarketing company we had hired to handle inbound calls and significantly scaled back this business.
In March 2012 we acquired Vertro, Inc. ("Vertro"), which owns and operates the ALOT product portfolio. This acquisition included the ALOT brand and the Appbar product, as well as a long-standing relationship with Google.
More Information
Our web site address is www.inuvo.com. We file with, or furnish to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, as well as various other information. This information can be found on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. In addition, we make available free of charge through the Investor Relations page of our web site our annual reports, quarterly reports, and current reports, and all amendments to any of those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after providing such reports to the SEC.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
An investment in our common stock involves a significant degree of risk. You should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should consider carefully the following risk factors and other information in this report before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and you could lose your entire investment in our company.
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, we have a history of net losses that have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $121,193,666 as of December 31, 2013. We cannot provide assurance that we can consistently generate a net income.
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 2013 they accounted for 64.8 percent and 28.9 percent of our revenues, respectively, and during 2012 they accounted for 47.8 percent and 41.5 percent, 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 our 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
7

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 $6.1 million in debt outstanding as of December 31, 2013. 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 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.
Failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions in our grant agreement with the State of Arkansas could result in the repayment of a portion of the grant, which we may not be able to repay or finance on favorable terms. We have an agreement with the State of Arkansas whereby we were granted $1,750,000 for the relocation of the Company to Arkansas and for the purchase of equipment. The grant is contingent upon us having at least 50 full-time equivalent permanent positions within four years, maintaining at least 50 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. As of December 31, 2013 we had 32 employees located in Arkansas. Should this occur, we cannot assure you that our assets would be sufficient to repay our grant in full, we would be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance the grant, 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.
If we are unable to raise additional capital as needed, our ability to grow our company and satisfy our obligations as they become due would be in jeopardy. We may need to raise significant additional capital to grow our company, fund our operating expenses and satisfy our obligations as they become due, including our revolving credit facility and term loan with Bridge Bank. Our revolving credit line has a balance of $3,254,745 as of December 31, 2013 and matures on March 29, 2015. We do not have any commitments to provide additional capital upon maturity of the revolving credit line and we cannot assure you that funds will be available with acceptable terms, if at all. If we do not raise funds as needed, our ability to provide for current working capital needs and satisfy our obligations would be in jeopardy. In this event, you could lose all of your investment us.
We are dependent upon relationships with and the success of our distribution partners. Our distribution partners are very important to the success of the Partner Network segment. We must recruit and maintain partners who are able to drive traffic successfully to their websites and mobile applications, resulting in clicks on advertisements we have delivered. These partners may experience difficulty in attracting and maintaining users for a number of reasons, including competition, rapidly changing markets and technology, industry consolidation and changing consumer preferences. Further, we may not be able to further develop and maintain relationships with distribution partners. They may be able to make their own deals directly with advertisers, may view us as competitors or may find our competitors offerings more desirable. Any of these potential events could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
We frequently introduce new products and services requiring significant investment, and such initiatives may not meet expectations in terms of viability, success or profitability. Initiatives such as our current initiative to launch new ALOT-branded owned and operated websites require significant financial investment. These investments include key personnel, technology infrastructure, marketing costs and others. We cannot assure you these initiatives will generate significant revenue
8

or be profitable. If our initiatives do not meet our expectations, it could have a material adverse affect on our financial position and results of operations.
The success of our Owned and Operated Network business is dependent on our ability to acquire new users in a profitable manner and maintain our consumer base. The Owned and Operated Network operates our ALOT-branded websites and Appbar. This segment is dependent on our ability to maintain and grow our user base in a profitable manner. We use a predictive model to calculate the rate of return for new users, which includes estimates and assumptions derived from previously acquired users. If these estimates and assumptions are not accurate, we may not be able to effectively manage our advertising decisions and could acquire users in an unprofitable manner. In addition, we may not be able to maintain and grow our active user base for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, acceptance of our Appbar products and websites by consumers, the availability of advertising to promote our websites and Appbar products, third-party designation of products as undesirable or malicious, user attrition, competition, and sufficiency of capital to purchase advertising. If we are unable to maintain and grow our active user base in a profitable manner, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A significant portion of the traffic to our websites is acquired from other search engines, and the loss of the ability to acquire traffic could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. We advertise on search engine websites to get downloads of the Appbar and to drive traffic to our owned and operated websites. Our keyword advertising is done primarily with Google, but also with Yahoo! and Bing. If we are unable to advertise on these websites, or the cost to advertise on these websites increases, our financial results will suffer.
We deliver advertisements to users from third-party ad networks which exposes our users to content and functionality over which we do not have ultimate control. We display pay-per-click, banner, cost per acquisition, and other forms of advertisements to users that come from third-party ad networks. We do not control the content and functionality of such third-party advertisements and, while we provide guidelines as to what types of advertisements are acceptable, there can be no assurance that such advertisements will not contain content or functionality that is harmful to users. Our inability to monitor and control what types of advertisements get displayed to users could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to significant competition in our industry. We compete with a variety of companies on a global scale and few barriers to entry exist in our market. In addition, many of our competitors are larger than us, have better name recognition and are better capitalized. As a result, we may not be able to keep pace with our competitors' marketing campaigns, pricing policies, technological advances. If we are unable to effectively adapt to competitive factors and compete effectively in the marketplace, it would have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the price of our common.
Our business must keep pace with rapid technological change to remain competitive. Our business operates in a market characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product and service announcements, enhancements, and changing customer demands. We must adapt to rapidly changing technologies and industry standards and continually improve the speed, performance, features, ease of use and reliability of our services. This includes making our products and services compatible and maintaining compatibility with multiple operating systems, desktop and mobile devices, and evolving network infrastructure. If we fail to do this, our results of operations and financial position could be adversely affected.
Our quarterly operating results can be difficult to predict and can fluctuate substantially, which could result in volatility in the price of our common stock. Our quarterly revenues and other operating results have varied in the past and are likely to continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Our agreements with clients do not require minimum levels of usage or payments, and our revenues therefore fluctuate based on the actual usage of our service each quarter by existing and new clients. Quarterly fluctuations in our operating results also might be due to numerous other factors, including:

• | our ability to attract new clients, including the length of our sales cycles, or to sell increased usage of our service to existing clients;

• | technical difficulties or interruptions in our services;

• | changes in privacy protection and other governmental regulations applicable to the our industry;

• | changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors;

• | the financial condition and business success of our clients;

• | purchasing and budgeting cycles of our clients;

• | acquisitions of businesses and products by us or our competitors;

• | competition, including entry into the market by new competitors or new offerings by existing competitors;

• | discounts offered to advertisers by upstream advertising networks;

9

• | our history of litigation;

• | our history of uncollectable receivables;

• | our ability to hire, train and retain sufficient sales, client management and other personnel;

• | timing of development, introduction and market acceptance of new services or service enhancements by us or our competitors;

• | concentration of marketing expenses for activities such as trade shows and advertising campaigns;

• | expenses related to any new or expanded data centers; and

• | general economic and financial market conditions.

Our services may be interrupted if we experience problems with our network infrastructure. The performance of our network infrastructure is critical to our business and reputation. Because our services are delivered solely through the internet, our network infrastructure could be disrupted by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

• | unexpected increases in usage of our services;

• | computer viruses and other security issues;

• | interruption or other loss of connectivity provided by third-party internet service providers;

• | natural disasters or other catastrophic events; and

• | server failures or other hardware problems.

While we have data centers in multiple, geographically dispersed locations and active back-up and disaster recovery plans, we cannot assure you that serious interruptions will not occur in the future. If our services were to be interrupted, it could cause loss of users, customers and business partners, which could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations and financial position.
Our business relies on a number of third-party providers, and their failure to perform or termination of our relationships with them could harm our business. We license technologies from third parties to provide our services. Any failure on our part to comply with the terms of these licenses could result in the loss of our rights to continue using the licensed technology, and we could experience difficulties obtaining licenses for alternative technologies. Furthermore, any failure of these third parties to provide these and other services, or errors, failures, interruptions or delays associated with licensed technologies, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.
Our business may incur liability for information retrieved from or transmitted through our applications, websites or website to which we link. Because we publish or make various information available on our applications and websites or through linked websites, we may be sued for, or incur liability related to, defamation, civil rights infringement, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, invasion of privacy, personal injury, product liability or other legal claims. Liability or expense relating to these types of claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Failure to maintain the security of our data and network could damage our business and subject us to liability. In the course of business we handle data on our users, including credit card information. A breach of our security measures may compromise information we have gathered and subsequently expose us to litigation, fines from regulatory entities, further regulation and additional costs to protect such information. Such an event could also damage our reputation significantly. This could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We depend on key personnel, the loss of whom could harm our business. Our success depends in part on the retention of personnel critical to our business operations. Loss of key personnel may result in disruption of operations, loss of key business relationships or expertise, additional recruiting and training costs, and diminished anticipated benefits of acquisitions. Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our key senior management. We have experienced difficulty from time to time in attracting or retaining the personnel necessary to support the growth of our business, and we may experience similar difficulties in the future.
Regulatory and legal uncertainties could harm our business. While there are currently relatively few laws or regulations directly applicable to internet-based commerce or commercial search activity, there is increasing awareness of such activity and interest from state and federal lawmakers in regulating these services. New regulation of activities in which we are involved or the extension of existing laws and regulations to internet-based services could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial position.
We may not successfully defend ourselves against litigation. We are a defendant in a several pending lawsuits in which the plaintiffs are seeking damages in significant amounts. If we are unable to satisfactorily defend against or settle these lawsuits,
10

we may be subject to judgments in amounts which exceed our available capital which will damage our business and our ability to continue as a going concern.
We may face third party intellectual property infringement claims that could be costly to defend and result in the loss of significant rights. From time to time third parties have asserted infringement claims against us including copyright, trademark and patent infringement, among other things. While we believe that we have defenses to these types of claims under appropriate trademark laws, we may not prevail in our defenses to any intellectual property infringement claims. In addition, we may not be adequately insured for any judgments awarded in connection with any litigation. Any such claims and resulting litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages or result in the invalidation of our proprietary rights, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Even if we were to prevail, these claims could be time-consuming, expensive to defend, and could result in the diversion of management's time and attention.
We are subject to risks from publishers who could fabricate clicks either manually or technologically. Our business involves the establishment of relationships with website owners and publishers. In exchange for their consumer traffic, we provide an advertising placement service and share a portion of the revenue we collect with that website publisher. Although we have click fraud detection software in place, we cannot guarantee that we will identify all fraudulent clicks or be able to recover funds distributed for fabricated clicks. This risk could materially impact our ability to borrow, our cash flow and the stability of our business.
In the past we have been deficient in the continued listing standards of the NYSE MKT and there are no assurances we will be able to maintain compliance in the future. 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 the Exchange recently extended April 24, 2014, though subject to periodic review to determine whether we are making progress consistent with the plan. In that event that our stock is delisted, it would likely be quoted in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board. The loss of our exchange listing would adversely impact the future liquidity of Inuvo's common stock and may make it more difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares. For the year ended December 31, 2013, net income was $477,216. We believe reporting a net income for the most recent fiscal year changes the Exchange's minimum requirement for continued listing to stockholders' equity of not less than $4,000,000. As of December 31, 2013, stockholder's equity was $5,341,866.
Significant dilution will occur if outstanding warrants and options are exercised or restricted stock unit grants vest. As of December 31, 2013, we had warrants and stock options outstanding to purchase a total of 1,275,297 shares with exercise prices ranging from $0.56 to $74.84 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of $8.04. We also had 729,320 restricted stock units outstanding. If outstanding warrants and stock options are exercised or restricted stock units vest, dilution will occur to our stockholders, which may be significant. See Note 2 to the financial statements for more details.
Our business is seasonal and our financial results may vary significantly from period to period. Our future results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year because of numerous factors, including seasonality. Historically, during the fourth quarter and the first quarter, it is more difficult for us to acquire traffic for our Owned and Operated Network and we see a decrease in traffic from our Partner Network distribution partners. Additionally, online consumer traffic is generally lower during the summer months, as consumers spend less time on the Internet. If we are not able to appropriately adjust to seasonal or other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
We are parties to leases of office space in Conway, AR and New York City. The Conway lease includes 5,834 square feet of office space and serves as our corporate headquarters. This lease has been prepaid through February 2015. A director and shareholder of Inuvo is the majority owner of First Orion Corp., the lessor of this space. During 2013, we relocated from our office space in New York City and subleased it for the remaining life of the lease, through January 2016.
11

In addition to our office space, we maintain data center operations in third-party collocation facilities in Little Rock, AR and San Jose, CA.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
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.
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. In January 2014 the New York Court granted Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissed the case with prejudice.
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. 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
12

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.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE MKT under the symbol "INUV." The following table sets forth the reported high and low last sale prices for our common stock for the following periods.

| High |  | Low
Year Ended December 31, 2013: |  |  |  |  |
First Quarter | $ | 1.11 |  |  | $ | 0.65 |
Second Quarter | $ | 1.08 |  |  | $ | 0.57 |
Third Quarter | $ | 1.33 |  |  | $ | 0.70 |
Fourth Quarter | $ | 1.94 |  |  | $ | 1.15 |

Third Quarter | $ | 0.73 |  |  | $ | 0.40 |
Fourth Quarter | $ | 2.12 |  |  | $ | 0.74 |

As of February 28, 2014, the last reported sale price of the common stock on NYSE MKT was $1.23 and there were approximately 409 stockholders of record of our common stock.
Dividends
We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock since our inception. Under Nevada law, we are prohibited from paying dividends if the distribution would result in our company not being able to pay its debts as they become due in the normal course of business if our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to pay the dividends, or if we were to be dissolved at the time of distribution to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends, subject to the approval of our stockholders. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, the frequency, and the amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. While our board of directors will make any future decisions regarding dividends, as circumstances surrounding us change, it currently does not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. 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 to websites and applications reaching both desktop and mobile devices.
We deliver content and targeted advertisements over the internet and generate most of our revenue when an end user clicks on advertisements we have delivered. We manage our business as two segments, Partner Network and Owned and Operated Network. In the third quarter of 2013 we reorganized our segments and retrospectively applied the current presentation to prior periods.
The Partner Network delivers advertisements to our partners' 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 billions 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 the ALOT Appbar is focused 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 or advertisements displayed on the websites.
On March 1, 2012 we completed the acquisition of Vertro, Inc. (“Vertro”), an internet company that owns and operates the ALOT product portfolio. This acquisition is discussed further in Note 15 to the financial statements.
2013 Overview
We took several significant steps in 2013 to position our business for long-term success. We have significantly reduced our compensation and administrative expense base, which helped drive net income in 2013. This will allow us to focus on expanding our product portfolio and growing revenue in the future.
Several significant activities contributed to success in 2013, including:

• | the renewal of our service agreements with Yahoo! and Google;

• | the launch of four new ALOT-branded web properties;

• | 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 City; and

• | the relocation of our data centers from New York City to Arkansas.

During 2013, we expanded our ALOT-branded websites and applications with the launch of ALOT Health, ALOT Finance, ALOT Careers and ALOT Home. These sites are content rich, searchable, mobile-ready web properties that expand our growing suite of owned and operated websites.
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, AR. 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. As of December 31, 2013, we had 32 employees located in Arkansas.
In conjunction with the relocation to Arkansas, we exited our Clearwater, FL office lease, found a subtenant for our office in New York City and completed the relocation of our New York City data centers to a single location in Arkansas. As a result, our compensation and selling, general and administrative expenses together are now less than $3 million per quarter.

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 the Exchange recently extended to April 24, 2014, though subject to periodic review to determine whether we are making progress consistent with the plan. For the year ended December 31, 2013, net income was $477,216. We believe reporting a net income for the most recent fiscal year changes the Exchange's minimum requirement for continued listing to stockholders' equity of not less than $4,000,000. As of December 31, 2013, stockholder's equity was $5,341,866.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting practices (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate estimates, including those related to our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, goodwill and amortizable intangibles, stock-based compensation and income taxes, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, involve more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10 Revenue Recognition-General. 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.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - We record our accounts receivable based upon the invoiced amount and they are considered past due when full payment is not received by the specified credit terms. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon those estimates. The allowances are based on both recent trends of certain customers estimated to be a greater credit risk as well as general trends. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Goodwill - Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of December 31 of each year or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist.
Under ASC 350, Companies may elect to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying value then there is no impairment. Otherwise, the test progresses to a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. Companies may omit the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the two-step testing process at their discretion.
During 2013 and 2012, we elected to proceed directly to the two-step testing process. We determined there was no impairment of goodwill during 2013 and 2012.
16

See Note 5, Intangible Assets and Goodwill, for more information.
Intangible Assets - We allocate a portion of the purchase price of acquisitions to identifiable intangible assets and we amortize definite-lived assets over their estimated useful lives. We consider our indefinite-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
As a result of our acquisition of Vertro in March 2012, we recognized an asset for the customer relationship with Google of $8,820,000 and assigned it a useful life of 20 years. A primary reason for acquiring Vertro was its relationship with Google. Up to the time of the acquisition, we principally had access to the Yahoo! inventory of advertisements. Among the many valuable assets acquired in the Vertro transaction was this Google relationship and the access it provided to an enormous inventory of advertisements. In addition, we acquired the ALOT brand, whose products are monetized through Google and has historically produced a better margin than monetization through Yahoo!. In determining the useful life of this asset, we considered the strategic importance of Vertro's strong relationship with Google. Vertro and its predecessor company had contracts and successful renewals with Google that date back to 2006. The most recent renewal was February 1, 2013, a year after the acquisition of Vertro. We expect the relationship with Google to continue through the 20 year amortization period and beyond.
At the time of the Vertro acquisition, we engaged a third party valuation service to determine the fair value of the acquired assets. At the close of the 2013 and 2012, we again engaged a third party valuation service to reassess the fair value of the acquired assets.
From time to time, both search marketplaces, Google and Yahoo!, may implement policy or marketplace changes. In January 2013 Google requested changes to our agreement that impacted marketing programs for one of our ALOT products, the Appbar, the result of which was a decline in the number of product installs. Since acquiring the ALOT brand in the Vertro acquisition, we have materially expanded the brand into a number of additional owned and operated websites and applications. We expect products within the brand to ebb and flow as customer preferences change and Google adjusts its marketplace policies. At the close of 2013, we considered the Google change and its effect on the recoverability of the acquired intangible asset. We determined that the asset continued to be recoverable despite the short-term impact to the Appbar product. We made this determination in part because of the recent success of other ALOT-branded and Google monetized products and because of the marketing improvements associated with the original changes. Between websites and applications, we have launched more than 20 new ALOT-branded products in 2013 and we expect to continue aggressively building out our Owned and Operated Network segment into the future.
We recorded no impairment of intangible assets during 2013 or 2012. See Note 5, Intangible Assets and Goodwill, for more information.
Income Taxes - We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we must project future levels of taxable income, which requires significant judgment. We examine evidence related to the history of taxable losses or income, the economic conditions in which we operate, organizational characteristics, our forecasts and projections, as well as factors affecting liquidity. We believe it is more likely than not that none of our deferred tax assets will be realized, and we have recorded a full valuation for the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
We have adopted certain provisions of ASC 740. This statement clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order to be recognized in the financial statements.
See Note 9, Income Taxes, for more information.
Stock Awards and Stock Based Compensation - We value stock compensation based on the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services and requires companies to expense the estimated grant date fair value of stock awards over the requisite employee service period.
The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant. To value stock option awards, we use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. This model involves assumptions including the
17

expected life of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and exercise price. We recognize compensation expense in earnings over the requisite service period, applying a forfeiture rate to account for expected forfeitures of awards.
See Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation, for further details on our stock awards.
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 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 - For a description of recent accounting pronouncements, please see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, which appears elsewhere in this report.
Results of Operations
During the third quarter of 2013, we changed our segment presentation and have retrospectively applied the current presentation to prior periods. Financial results in 2012 include only ten months of the acquisition of Vertro.
Net Revenue

| For the Years Ended December 31,
| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | Change |  | % Change
Partner Network | $ | 35,859,352 |  |  | $ | 25,888,154 |  |  | $ | 9,971,198 |  |  | 38.5 | %
Owned and Operated Network | 19,130,988 |  |  | 27,474,791 |  |  | (8,343,803 | ) |  | (30.4 | %)
Total net revenue | $ | 54,990,340 |  |  | $ | 53,362,945 |  |  | $ | 1,627,395 |  |  | 3.0 | %

Our revenue mix has shifted significantly from the Owned and Operated Network to the Partner Network during 2013. Partner Network revenue was 65 percent of our total revenue in 2013 as compared to 49 percent in 2012.
The Partner Network delivers advertisements to our partners' websites and applications. Revenue growth in this segment is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of transactions processed through our ValidClick platform and growth in advertisements delivered to mobile devices. We have focused on recruiting partners with high quality traffic, which we believe increases revenue per click and reduces our exposure to click fraud. We expect growth in this segment to be driven by advertisements delivered to mobile devices and the deployment of intelligent ad units for publishers. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we experienced typical seasonality declines in the prices we get paid to deliver clicks to our suppliers. Additionally, we began to transition away from publishers that focus heavily on marketing models with non-standard traffic sources, shutting down a number of such publishers in the quarter and establishing a reserve of approximately $263,000 from revenue. We expect growth in this segment to be driven by advertisements delivered to mobile devices and the deployment of new advertising solutions to our publishers.
Revenue in our Owned and Operated Network is generated through our consumer-facing ALOT branded websites, applications and the ALOT Appbar. In early 2013, we decided as a result of changes in the marketplace, to transition away from the AppBar business and focus growth activity towards the Owned and Operated websites. We expect Appbar revenue to decline and website revenue to increase throughout 2014. We launched four new sites in 2013: ALOT Home, ALOT Health, ALOT Finance and ALOT Careers. These websites are content-rich and optimized for mobile and desktop devices, and are designed to capitalize on growing consumer demand for content, delivered both on the desktop and on mobile devices. We intend to continue to expand our Owned and Operated Network by launching more websites and mobile applications under the ALOT brand. In 2012, Owned and Operated revenue includes ten months of revenue from the Appbar product.

Owned and Operated Network | 968,212 |  |  | 4,018,084 |  |  | (3,049,872 | ) |  | (75.9 | %)
Cost of revenue | $ | 28,784,887 |  |  | $ | 25,635,510 |  |  | $ | 3,149,377 |  |  | 12.3 | %

Cost of revenue in the Partner Network is generated by payments to website publishers who host our advertisements. The increase in cost of revenue is directly associated with higher revenue in this segment and was partially offset by a decline in costs of name lists, which we previously bought to resell to advertisers. Effective May 1, 2013, we no longer acquire names lists.
The decrease in cost of revenue in the Owned and Operated Network was driven by our decision to reduce the level of spend for bundled downloads of the Appbar. The spend in 2012 was primarily for bundled downloads of the Appbar, a marketing program, which was discontinued in 2013. Other cost of revenue in this segment consists of charges for web searches and cash back to our BargainMatch application users.
Operating Expenses

| For the Year Ended December 31,
| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | Change |  | % Change
Marketing costs | $ | 14,389,493 |  |  | $ | 18,189,643 |  |  | $ | (3,800,150 | ) |  | (20.9 | %)
Compensation | 6,022,526 |  |  | 6,700,016 |  |  | (677,490 | ) |  | (10.1 | %)
Selling, general and administrative | 5,776,529 |  |  | 9,365,675 |  |  | (3,589,146 | ) |  | (38.3 | %)
Operating expenses | $ | 26,188,548 |  |  | $ | 34,255,334 |  |  | $ | (8,066,786 | ) |  | (23.5 | %)

Operating expenses declined as compared to the prior year as a result of lower investment in marketing costs for the Appbar and expense savings resulting from the move to Arkansas.
Marketing costs include those expenses required to attract traffic to our owned and operated websites and to effect Appbar downloads. Marketing costs decreased in 2013 due to our decision to reduce the level of investment to acquire Appbar users. This was partially offset by the spend required to grow the owned and operated websites business. We expect marketing costs to increase in 2014 as we launch additional ALOT branded websites and mobile applications.
Compensation expense declined in 2013 as compared to last year due to operational efficiencies and reduced payroll related to the relocation to Arkansas. Compensation expense included severance charges of $258,135 and $505,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the relocation to Arkansas in 2013 and the resignation of the former CEO in 2012.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs is primarily due to cost savings related to the relocation to Arkansas and other operating efficiencies. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we received a franchise tax refund and reduced our bad debt reserve as a result of improved collection of receivables, collectively resulting in a reduction of expense of approximately $420,000. We expect compensation and selling, general and administrative costs combined to remain at their current run rate of less than $3 million per quarter.
Other Expense, net
Other expense, net was $356,956 and $638,198 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These charges primarily include interest on the credit facility with Bridge Bank, which declined as a result of lower balances during 2013. During 2012, we incurred a charge of $75,000 related to a litigation settlement.

Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations
Income (loss) from discontinued operations includes activity related to the remaining assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the European Union. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized income from discontinued operations of $503,622, generated primarily by an adjustment of certain accrued liabilities originating in 2009 and earlier and by a favorable resolution of a German tax audit. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized a loss of $183,527 due to costs related to a denial of an appeal on a tax ruling.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2012, our liquidity was unfavorably affected by significant investments in marketing costs to increase consumer downloads of our Appbar product. Although we realized operating efficiencies from the March 2012 Acquisition, we took additional steps to reduce our operating costs and improve our liquidity situation, most notably the relocation to Arkansas. As a result, cash flow from operations increased, the net working capital deficit decreased and the outstanding bank debt declined in the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the prior year.
The fourth quarter results reflect the transition out of the ToolBar product into higher growth, content based, mobile ready websites and applications (see "Results of Operations"). The lower revenue in the quarter resulted in lower borrowing capacity which we dealt with by reducing operating expense and lengthening payables of some accounts. As a result, we negotiated a covenant waiver and modification of terms with Bridge Bank. N.A. ("Bridge Bank") (see Note 6, "Notes Payable"). We anticipate securing additional financing of $1 million in 2014 through debt or the sale of common stock. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available to us upon terms and conditions which are acceptable to our company.
We also have access to a revolving line of credit under our agreement, as amended with Bridge Bank which had approximately $393,000 in availability as of December 31, 2013.
We believe the revolving line of credit, cash generated by operations, and anticipated financing will provide sufficient cash for operations over the next twelve months.
Cash Flows - Operating
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,809,623 during 2013. We produced net income of $477,216, which included non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $3,055,182 and stock-based compensation expense of $686,745. The change in operating assets and liabilities was a use of cash of $1,535,921 due to stronger operating results that allowed us to pay down our accounts payable balances. Accounts receivable and accounts payable were also both affected by lower revenues and related payouts in December 2013 as compared to December 2012.
During 2012 we generated cash from operating activities of $990,674 and a net loss of $7,022,845 which was offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses of $7,321,679 and stock-based compensation expenses of $842,752. Working capital was steady for the period.
Cash Flows - Investing
Net cash used in investing activities was $677,526 and $1,527,342 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities during 2013 primarily consisted of capitalized internal development costs, which are slightly lower than the previous year as a result of the decline in overall payroll costs related to the move to Arkansas. In addition, during 2012 we used $3,065,569 to purchase bundled downloads of our Appbar product and received $2,432,642 in cash as a result of the acquisition of Vertro.
Cash Flows - Financing
Net cash used in provided by financing activities was $1,375,544 during 2013. We used cash generated from operations to make net payments on the credit facility of $1,714,302, which was partially 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.
During 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $3,912,855. Proceeds from the term note with Bridge Bank yielded $5,000,000, which was offset by net payments on the credit facility of $686,573 and the letter of credit on our Clearwater, FL office of $300,572.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 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.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

ITEM 9A. 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 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 December 31, 2013, 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.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

• | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

• | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

• | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2013 our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Inuvo, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inuvo, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on the test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inuvo, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Inuvo, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
Note 1 – Organization and Business
Company Overview
Inuvo, Inc. and subsidiaries ("we", "us" or "our") is an internet marketing and technology company that delivers targeted advertisements to websites and applications reaching both desktop and mobile devices.
We deliver content and targeted advertisements over the internet and generate most of our revenue when an end user clicks on the advertisements we have delivered. We manage our business as two segments, the Partner Network and the Owned and Operated Network. In the third quarter of 2013 we reorganized our segments and retrospectively applied the current presentation to prior periods.
The Partner Network delivers advertisements to our partners' 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 billions 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 the ALOT Appbar (the "Appbar") and is focused 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 or advertisements displayed on the websites.
On March 1, 2012 we completed the acquisition of Vertro, Inc. (“Vertro”, "March 2012 Acquisition"), an internet company that owns and operates the ALOT product portfolio. This acquisition is discussed further in Note 15 to the financial statements.
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. As of December 31, 2013 we had 32 employees located in Arkansas.
Liquidity
During 2012, our liquidity was unfavorably affected by investments in marketing costs to increase consumer downloads of our Appbar product. Although we realized operating efficiencies from the March 2012 Acquisition, we took additional steps to reduce our operating costs and improve our liquidity situation, most notably the relocation to Arkansas. As a result, cash flow from operations and our net working capital deficit have increased and outstanding bank debt has declined in 2013.
Despite improvements during 2013, we see volatility in our cash position from time to time, especially in periods in which we see declines in revenue. To manage this, we may delay payments to the Partner Network publishers and other vendors to conserve cash or manage risk, which may affect their decisions to do business with us. In 2013, we decided to transition from the AppBar product to owned and operated websites and applications. This transition contributed to a liquidity squeeze and violations of covenants in the agreement with Bridge Bank, N.A. ("Bridge Bank") which they subsequently waived. See Note 6, "Notes Payable." We have access to a revolving line of credit with Bridge Bank, which had approximately $393,000 in availability as of December 31, 2013.
F-7

The fourth quarter results reflect the transition out of the ToolBar product into higher growth, content based, mobile ready websites and applications. The lower revenue in the quarter resulted in lower borrowing capacity which we dealt with by reducing operating expense and lengthening payables of some accounts. As a result, we negotiated a covenant waiver and modification of terms with Bridge Bank, N.A. (“Bridge Bank”) (see Note 6, “Notes Payable”). We anticipate securing additional financing of $1 million in 2014 through debt or the sale of common stock. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available to us upon terms and conditions which are acceptable to our company.
We also have access to a revolving line of credit under our agreement, as amended with Bridge Bank which had approximately $393,000 in availability as of December 31, 2013.
We believe the revolving line of credit, cash generated by operations, and anticipated financing will provide sufficient cash for operations over the next twelve months.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by management on a go-forward basis and therefore do not include any adjustment to our assets and liabilities.
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 the Exchange recently extended to April 24, 2014, though subject to periodic review to determine whether we are making progress consistent with the plan. For the year ended December 31, 2013, net income was $477,216. We believe reporting a net income for the most recent fiscal year changes the Exchange's minimum requirement for continued listing to stockholders' equity of not less than $4,000,000. As of December 31, 2013, stockholder's equity was $5,341,866.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation - The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, results from the former Vertro operations are included beginning on March 1, 2012, the date of the merger.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Restricted cash - As of December 31, 2012, we had $301,158 of restricted cash related to a letter of credit on a lease we have since exited. This restriction was released on March 31, 2013, and the funds became available for operations.
Revenue recognition - We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 605-10 Revenue Recognition-General. 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.
Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables from customers. We record accounts receivable at its net realizable value, recognizing an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of probable credit losses on our existing accounts receivable. Balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the possibility of recovery is considered remote.
Marketing costs - Marketing costs include the purchase of sponsored listings from search engines and is our primary method of attracting consumers to our owned and operated applications and websites. We expense these costs as incurred and present them
F-8

as a separate line item in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Advertising costs from continuing operations included in selling general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $25,000 and $112,000, respectively.
Property and equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Costs of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from accounts and the net gain or loss is reflected as an operating expense in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).
Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over three years for equipment, five to seven years for furniture and fixtures and two to three years for software. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease. Depreciation expense was $1,912,513 and $2,528,253, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Capitalized Software Costs - We capitalize certain costs related to internally developed software and amortize these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally two years. We do not sell internally developed software. Certain development costs not meeting the criteria for capitalization, in accordance with ASC 350-40 Internal-Use Software, are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill - Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“ASC 350”), we test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying value, including goodwill.
We generally determine the fair value of our reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the undiscounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill (See Note 5).
During 2013 and 2012, we elected to proceed directly to the two-step testing process. We determined there was no impairment of goodwill during 2013 and 2012.
See Note 5, Intangible Assets and Goodwill, for more information.
Intangible Assets - We allocate a portion of the purchase price of acquisitions to identifiable intangible assets and we amortize definite-lived assets over their estimated useful lives. We consider our indefinite-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
We amortize our identifiable intangible assets, which result from acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Tradenames are not amortized as they are believed to have an indefinite life. Tradenames are reviewed annually for impairment under ASC 350.
As a result of our acquisition of Vertro, Inc. ("Vertro") in March 2012, we recognized an asset for the customer relationship with Google of $8,820,000 and assigned it a useful life of 20 years. A primary reason for acquiring Vertro was its relationship with Google. Up to the time of the acquisition, we principally had access to the Yahoo! inventory of advertisements. Among the many valuable assets acquired in the Vertro transaction was this Google relationship and the access it provided to an enormous inventory of advertisements. In addition, we acquired the ALOT brand, whose products are are monetized through Google and has historically produced a better margin than monetization through Yahoo!. In determining the useful life of this asset, we considered the strategic importance of Vertro's strong relationship with Google. Vertro and its predecessor company had contracts and successful renewals with Google that date back to 2006. The most recent renewal was February 1, 2013, a year after the acquisition of Vertro. We expect the relationship with Google to continue through the 20 year amortization period and beyond.
F-9

At the time of the Vertro acquisition, we engaged a third party valuation service to determine the fair value of the acquired assets. At the close of the 2013 and 2012 fiscal years we again engaged a third party valuation service to reassess the fair value of the acquired assets.
From time to time, both search marketplaces, Google and Yahoo!, may implement policy or marketplace changes. In January 2013 Google requested changes to our agreement that impacted marketing programs for one of our ALOT products, the Appbar, the result of which was a decline in the number of product installs. Since acquiring the ALOT brand in the Vertro acquisition, we have materially expanded the brand into a number of additional owned and operated websites and applications. We expect products within the brand to ebb and flow as customer preferences change and Google adjusts its marketplace policies. At the close of 2012, we considered the Google change and its effect on the recoverability of the acquired intangible asset. We determined that the asset continued to be recoverable despite the short-term impact to the Appbar product. We made this determination in part because of the recent success of other ALOT-branded and Google monetized products and because of the marketing improvements associated with the original changes. Between websites and applications, we have launched more than 20 new ALOT-branded products in 2013 and we expect to continue aggressively building out our Owned and Operated Network segment into the future.
We recorded no impairment of intangible assets during 2013 or 2012.
See Note 5, Intangible Assets and Goodwill, for more information.
Income taxes - We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we must project future levels of taxable income, which requires significant judgment. We examine evidence related to the history of taxable losses or income, the economic conditions in which we operate, organizational characteristics, our forecasts and projections, as well as factors affecting liquidity. We believe it is more likely than not that none of our deferred tax assets will be realized, and we have recorded a full valuation for the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
We have adopted certain provisions of ASC 740. This statement clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order to be recognized in the financial statements.
Impairment of long-lived assets - In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value.
Stock-based compensation - We value stock compensation based on the fair value recognition provisions ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services and requires companies to expense the estimated grant date fair value of stock awards over the requisite employee service period.
The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant. To value stock option awards, we use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. This model involves assumptions including the expected life of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and exercise price. We recognize compensation expense in earnings over the requisite service period, applying a forfeiture rate to account for expected forfeitures of awards.
See Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation, for further details on our stock awards.
Government 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
F-10

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 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.
Treasury Stock - The cost method was used in recording the purchase of the treasury stock. Treasury stock changes as a result of common stock we acquire in the market.
Earnings (loss) per share - During the periods presented, we had securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Because we reported a loss from continuing operations for 2013 and 2012, all shares associated with outstanding stock options and warrants and unvested restricted stock are considered anti-dilutive, and basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, options to purchase 458,573 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $18.14 per share and warrants to purchase 816,724 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $2.37 per share were excluded from the diluted shares calculation for 2013 because their exercise price was higher than the average stock price for the period. In addition, restricted stock units totaling 667,123 shares with a weighted average grant date price of $1.31 were also excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, options to purchase 1,290,021 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $2.56 per share and warrants to purchase 816,724 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $2.37 per share were excluded from the diluted shares calculation for 2012 because their exercise price was higher than the average stock price for the period. In addition, restricted stock units totaling 173,805 shares with a weighted average grant date price of $.70 were also excluded because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Operating segments - ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires disclosures of certain information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas in which we operate, and their major customers. We have evaluated the effect of this standard and have determined that we currently operate in two segments, the Partner Network and the Owned and Operated Network. In the third quarter of 2013 we reorganized our segments and retrospectively applied the current presentation to prior periods. See Note 17 for additional segment information.
Concentration of credit risk - We are exposed to concentrations of risk primarily in cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable, which are generally not collateralized. Our policy is to place our cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions in order to limit the amount of credit exposure. We do not require collateral from our customers, but our credit extension and collection policies include monitoring payments and aggressively pursuing delinquent accounts. We maintain allowances for potential credit losses. At times, deposits may exceed FDIC limits.
Customer concentrations - At December 31, 2013, we had two individual customers with accounts receivable balances greater than 10 percent of the gross accounts receivable from continuing operations. These customers owed approximately 88.0 percent and 71.0 percent of our gross accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The same customers accounted for 93.7 percent and 89.3 percent of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
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.
Litigation and settlement costs - From time to time, we are involved in disputes, litigation and other legal actions. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, we record a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the consolidated financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated. See Note 16 for additional information.

Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, we plan to adopt these presentation requirements during the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
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.

Note 5 – Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill
During 2013 and 2012, we evaluated our other intangible assets and goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. We elected to omit the qualitative assessment of impairment factors and proceed directly to impairment testing with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. No indication of impairment was noted.

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.
Revolving Credit Line
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 $0.4 million available under the revolving credit line as of December 31, 2013.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants. Bridge Bank provided a waiver of those covenants.
During March 2014, the Company entered into the The Fourth Business Financing Modification Agreement with Bridge Bank that revised the targets for our financial covenants to a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.75 to 1.0 tested on the immediate proceeding three month period beginning May 2014; and an Asset Coverage Ratio of not less than .70 to 1.0 at February 2014, .90 to 1.0 at March and April 2014, 1.00 to 1.0 at May, June, and July 2014, and 1.25 to 1.0 at August 2014 and thereafter. In addition, it requires that there be no negative fluctuation from the submitted forecast greater than twenty percent. The modification accelerates the payment of the remaining balance of the term loan such that it is fully amortized by March 2015 and changed the interest rate of the term loan from prime plus 1% to prime plus 6%. An additional 5% may be incurred during any period that an event of default has occurred or is continuing.

Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are the result of temporary differences between book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, timing of income and expense recognition of certain items and net operating loss carry-forwards.
We assess temporary differences resulting from different treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a regular basis, an exercise that requires significant judgment. In the course of this evaluation we considered our recent history of tax losses, the economic conditions in which we operate, recent organizational changes and our forecasts and projections. We believe it is more likely than not that none of our deferred tax assets will be realized, and we have recorded a full valuation for the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The following is a schedule of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

The net operating losses amounted to approximately $59,700,000 and expire beginning 2022 through 2033.
Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, these losses can be carried forward twenty years. We have approximately $2,500,000 of carry forward deductions from 2006 relating to stock options exercised as of December 31, 2013.
We have accrued $506,453 for an uncertain tax position.
We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ending December 31, 2009 through 2013. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the same periods.

Note 10 - 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.
Compensation Expense
We recorded stock-based compensation expense for all equity incentive plans of approximately $686,745 and $842,752 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total compensation cost not yet recognized at December 31, 2013 was $701,164 to be recognized over a weighted-average recognition period of 1.3 years.
Significant Grants and Cancellations
2013
During the first quarter of 2013, we granted to certain employees a total of 100,000 RSUs 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 RSUs with a weighted average fair value of $0.77 per share which vest on December 31, 2013. During the fourth quarter, we granted a total of 428,500 RSU's with a weighted average fair value of $1.44 per share which vest over three years.
During the third quarter of 2013 we granted RSUs to certain executives and management employees as part of an equity compensation program. The program includes service-based and performance-based components. The service-based component of the plan granted up to 172,500 shares to certain executives and management employees effective July 31, 2013, which vest completely on February 1, 2014. The performance-based component of this plan granted 335,000 shares. The performance conditions were not met and therefore, the shares terminated in 2013. The share price at the date of the grant was $0.87.
During 2013, 252,755 shares were settled with common stock at the settlement date fair value. A total of 173,371 shares were issued.
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.
2012
On January 1, 2012, the number of shares of our common stock issuable under the 2010 ECP was increased by 100,357 shares due to the ever-green provision as part of the 2010 ECP. Additionally, effective February 29, 2012, our shareholders increased the number of shares of our common stock issuable under the 2010 ECP by 2.5 million shares. As of December 31, 2012, we had reserved under our 2005 LTIP 1.0 million shares of common stock for issuance and another 3,385,945 shares under our 2010 ECP.
On July 31, 2012, the Company granted 445,500 RSUs, of which 296,505 were granted to our executive officers, certain of our senior management and our Board of Directors. These RSUs granted to our executive officers, certain of our senior management and our Board of Directors were subject to a 2012 performance target that was not met. As such, these RSAs did not vest. The remaining 148,995 RSAs were granted to the other members of the management team and vested on February 1, 2013 provided the grantee remained in the company’s employ on that date. Further, the Company granted to non-management employees on July 31, 2012, 49,500 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at $0.56 per share, the closing price of the stock on the grant date. The options fully vested on February 1, 2013 provided the grantee remained in the Company’s employ on that date.
Award Information and Activity
The following table summarizes the stock grants outstanding under our 2005 LTIP and 2010 ECP plans as of December 31, 2013:
F-19

| Options Outstanding |  | RSUs Outstanding |  | Options and RSUs Exercised |  | Available Shares |  | Total
2010 ECP | 258,998 |  |  | 86,744 |  |  | 1,060,823 |  |  | 2,129,380 |  |  | 3,535,945 |
2005 LTIP | 33,748 |  |  | 623,036 |  |  | 328,711 |  |  | 14,505 |  |  | 1,000,000 |
Total | 292,746 |  |  | 709,780 |  |  | 1,389,534 |  |  | 2,143,885 |  |  | 4,535,945 |

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined using market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The use of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense and include the expected life of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. The forfeiture rate, which is estimated at a weighted average of 4.6% of unvested options outstanding, is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.
At December 31, 2013, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding under the 2005 LTIP and 2010 ECP plans was $0 with a weighted average remaining contractual term of 6.9 years. Of the outstanding options, 266,408 options are exercisable with an aggregate intrinsic value of $0, a weighted average exercise price of $2.72 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 7.0 years. We expect to all non-vested options to fully vest.
The total fair value of options vested during 2013 and 2012 was approximately $240,000 and $609,000, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in 2013 was $2,813.
The following table summarizes our stock option activity under the 2005 LTIP and 2010 ECP plans during 2013:

| Options |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding, beginning of year | 1,179,199 |  |  | $ | 2.66 |
Granted | — |  |  | $ | — |
Forfeited, expired or cancelled | (882,703 | ) |  | $ | 2.65 |
Exercised | (3,750 | ) |  | $ | 0.56 |
Outstanding, end of year | 292,746 |  |  | $ | 2.72 |
Exercisable, end of year | 266,408 |  |  | $ | 2.72 |

We also have a separate plan which we acquired from Vertro. This plan is not authorized to issue any additional shares. During 2013, options in the amount of 5,504 shares with a weighted average exercise price of $22.64 expired. At December 31, 2013 we had 165,827 options outstanding and exercisable under this plan with a weighted average exercise price of $45.36. The weighted average fair value of these options is $0, and their aggregate intrinsic value is also $0. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding and exercisable options is 1.1 years. The exercise price of these options ranges from $12.55 to $74.84.
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2013:

Range of Exercise Price |  | Shares |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life ( Years) |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price
$0.00 – $3.00 |  | 262,658 |  |  | 7.0 |  | $ | 2.71 |
$3.01 - $9.99 |  | 3,750 |  |  | 6.1 |  | 3.70 |
Total |  | 266,408 |  |  | 7.0 |  | $ | 2.72 |

No options were granted during 2013. There were 49,500 options granted during 2012, and the fair value of these options was estimated using the following weighted averages:
F-20

| 2012
Expected life (in years) | 3.15 |
Volatility | 174.2 | %
Risk free interest rate | 0.30 | %
Dividend yield | — | %

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the period commensurate with or longer than the expected life of the options. The expected life of the options is based on the vesting schedule of the option in relation to the overall term of the option. The risk free interest rate is based on the market yield of the U.S. Treasury Bill with a term equal to the expected term of the option awarded. We do not anticipate paying any dividends so the dividend yield in the model is zero.
The following table summarizes our restricted stock activity for 2013:

| Restricted Stock |  | Weighted Average Fair Value
Outstanding, beginning of year | 181,535 |  |  | $ | 0.71 |
Granted | 1,116,000 |  |  | $ | 1.07 |
Settled | (252,755 | ) |  | $ | 0.68 |
Terminated | (335,000 | ) |  | $ | 0.87 |
Outstanding, end of year | 709,780 |  |  | $ | 1.45 |

No restricted stock was forfeited during 2013.
Note 11 – Stockholders Equity
As of December 31, 2013, we have outstanding warrants for the potential issuance of 816,724 shares of common stock. Exercise price for these warrants ranges from $0.87 to $15.00. These warrants were primarily issued in connection with acquisitions, private placements and debt issuances. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the warrants outstanding at December 31, 2013 was 2.5 years and the weighted average exercise price was $2.37.
On October 11, 2012, pursuant to the Second Business Financing Modification Agreement with Bridge Bank (see Note 6), the Company issued Bridge Bank a warrant to purchase 51,724 shares of our own common stock exercisable at $0.87 per share until October 2017.
Authorized Preferred Stock and Authorized Common Stock
On March 1, 2012 the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation allowing the Company to increase the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 20,000,000 shares to 40,000,000.
Treasury Stock
During 2011, we retired 164,869 shares of our common stock held in treasury valued at approximately $627,000. During 2012, we retired 21,270 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $81,000. We also withheld shares to pay for employee taxes on restricted stock grants, increasing treasury stock by 10,970 restricted shares for approximately $7,800.
Note 12 – 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 April 2015. Profits and losses generated from the remaining assets and liabilities are accounted for as discontinued operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized net income from discontinued operations of $503,622, generated primarily by an adjustment of certain accrued liabilities originating in 2009 and earlier and by a favorable resolution of a
F-21

German tax audit. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized a loss of $183,527 due to costs related to a denial of an appeal on a tax ruling.
Note 13 – Retirement Plan Costs
We provide a 401(k) plan to help our employees provide for retirement, and we match 25 percent of each employee's contributions to this plan up to the first 5 percent of the employee's annual salary. The matching contribution for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $26,456 and $31,000, respectively.
F-22

Note 14 - 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 approximately $223,000 and $1,181,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2013 are:

| Lease Payments |  | Sublease income
2014 | $ | 537,501 |  |  | $ | 591,266 |

During 2013 we signed an amendment allowing us to terminate our Clearwater office lease for $615,000, and the lease was terminated on March 31, 2013. We also entered into an agreement to lease office space in Conway, Arkansas, which was prepaid during the first quarter of 2013. This agreement is for two years in the total amount of $193,200. First Orion Corp., the lessor of this space, is owned by a director and shareholder of Inuvo.
Note 15 - Merger with Vertro, Inc.
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.

Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operations
Pro forma results for the combined company for the year ended December 31, 2012 would have been revenue of $57,147,743, net loss of $9,673,000, and basic and diluted loss per share of $0.46. 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 16 - Commitments and Contingencies
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 our 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.
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. In January 2014, the New York Court granted Defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismissed the case with prejudice.
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. Inuvo is actively defending this action,
F-24

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. We are vigorously defending the matter.
