Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Business | Organization and Business Company Overview Inuvo, Inc. is a technology company that provides data-driven platforms that can automatically identify and message online audiences for any product or service across devices, channels and formats, including video, mobile, connected TV, display, social and native. These capabilities allow Inuvo’s clients to engage with their customers and prospects in a manner that drives engagement from the first contact with the consumer. Inuvo facilitates over a billion marketing messages to consumers every single month and counts among its clients numerous world-renowned names in industries that have included retail, automotive, insurance, health care, technology, telecommunications and finance. Inuvo counts among its many contractual relationships, three clients who collectively manage over 50% of all US digital advertising budgets. Inuvo’s solution incorporates a proprietary form of artificial intelligence, or AI, branded the IntentKey. This sophisticated machine learning technology uses interactions with Internet content as a source of information from which to predict consumer intent. The AI includes a continually updated database of over 500 million machine profiles which Inuvo utilizes to deliver highly aligned online audiences to its clients. Inuvo earns revenue when consumers view or click on its client’s messages. Inuvo’s business scales through account management activity with existing clients and by adding new clients through sales activity. As part of Inuvo’s technology strategy, it owns a collection of websites like alot.com and earnspendlive.com, where Inuvo creates content in health, finance, travel, careers, auto, education and living categories. These sites provide the means to test Inuvo’s technologies, while also delivering high quality consumers to clients through the interaction with proprietary content in the form of images, videos, slideshows and articles. There are many barriers to entry to Inuvo’s business that would require proficiency in large scale data center management, software development, data products, analytics, artificial intelligence, integration to the internet of things, or IOT, the relationships required to execute within the IOT and the ability to process tens of billions of transactions dailyOur intellectual property is protected by 15 issued and eight pending patents. Recent Developments On November 2, 2018, Inuvo entered into the Merger Agreement with ConversionPoint Technologies ("CPT"), ConversionPoint Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPT (“Parent”), CPT Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“CPT Merger Sub”), and CPT Cigar Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Inuvo Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Inuvo will merge with and into Inuvo Merger Sub with Inuvo as the surviving corporation in the Inuvo Merger (the “Inuvo Merger”), and CPT merging with and into CPT Merger Sub with CPT as the surviving corporation in the CPT Merger (the “CPT Merger” and collectively with the Inuvo Merger, the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, CPT and Inuvo will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger our stockholders will be entitled to receive $0.45 in cash and 0.18877 shares of Parent common stock for each share of common stock of Inuvo, and CPT’s stockholders will be entitled to receive 0.9840 shares of Parent common stock for each share of common stock of CPT. Each outstanding option to acquire a share of our common stock will be converted into an option to acquire 0.2370 shares of Parent’s common stock. In addition, unvested restricted stock units will vest in full immediately prior to consummation of the Merger and will be entitled to receive the merger consideration. No fractional shares of Parent common stock will be issued in the Merger and Parent stockholders and CPT stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional interests. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from each party to the agreement, and each party has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (1) the conduct of the CPT’s and Inuvo’s businesses during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger, (2) our obligations to facilitate our stockholders’ consideration of, and voting upon, the Merger Agreement and the Inuvo Merger, (3) CPT’s obligations to facilitate its stockholders’ consideration of, and voting upon, the Merger Agreement and the CPT Merger, (4) the recommendation by our Board of Directors in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and the Inuvo Merger by our stockholders, and (5) Inuvo’s non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative business combination transactions. The completion of the Merger is subject to (1) the approval of CPT’s stockholders and Inuvo’s stockholders, (2) regulatory approvals, (3) the closing of financing to the Parent of $36,000,000 (the “Financing”), (4) the approval of the listing of shares of Parent’s common stock on NASDAQ, (5) the delivery of customary opinions from counsel to the CPT and Inuvo to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes (6) Parent entering into separation agreements with Mr. Howe, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ruiz, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, and Mr. Pisaris, our General Counsel, and (7) other customary closing conditions. Immediately following the Merger, Mr. Howe will serve as non-executive chairman of the Board of Directors of the Parent and an additional individual appointed by Inuvo shall serve on the seven member board of directors of the Parent. The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights for both Inuvo and CPT and further provides that (1) a termination payment of approximately $2.8 million will be payable by us to CPT in certain circumstances; and (2) a termination payment of approximately $2.8 million will be payable by CPT to Inuvo in certain circumstances, including if the Parent fails to consummate the Financing by May 31, 2019. In addition, on November 1, 2018, Inuvo and ConversionPoint Investments, LLC., an affiliate of CPT (the "Noteholder") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for up to $2 million pursuant to which Inuvo issued and sold a $1,000,000 principal amount 10% senior unsecured subordinated convertible promissory note ("the Subordinated Promissory Note") to the Noteholder which we are using for working capital. The terms of the Subordinated Promissory Note are described in Note 8. On March 1, 2019, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 2, 2018 (the “Amendment”) to (i) due to the delays in the SEC’s ability to review and declare effective securities filings because of the government shutdown, extend the outside date for New Parent to receive funding in a financing from May 31, 2019 to July 12, 2019, and extend the outside termination date for closing of the Mergers from June 30, 2019, to August 5, 2019, (ii) permit the issuances of the above described Notes and permit us to issue up to 3,272,728 shares of common stock or securities convertible into up to 3,272,728 shares of our common stock, and waive any breach of our representations, warranties, or covenants that would be caused by the stock issuance. Our exchange ratio of 0.18877 shares of New Parent common stock for each share of our common stock for the stock portion of the merger consideration is adjusted downward to account for the dilutive effect of the stock issuance, and (iii) permit us to amend our articles of incorporation to increase the amount of its authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 60,000,000. On December 17, 2018 the Parent filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC for, among other matters, the stockholder meetings to be held by each of Inuvo and CPT. As a result of the recent shutdown of the U.S. government between December 22, 2018 and January 25, 2019, the processing of this registration statement by the SEC was delayed. On April 9, 2019, the S-4 filing became effective. On May 8, 2019, Inuvo held its Special Meetings of Stockholders. The stockholders approved the Merger and all other proposals. Liquidity On October 11, 2018, we entered into the Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Financing Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank. The Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, which is secured by all of our assets, superseded in its entirety the prior the Business Financing Agreement, as amended, that we entered into on March 1, 2012 with Bridge Bank, N.A. which is now owned by Western Alliance Bank. The Amended and Restated Financing Agreement does not have a term and either party may terminate upon notice to the other party. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our revenues declined 24.6% from the same period in the prior year. The lower revenue in the three-month period of 2019 is principally responsible for our $2.5 million net loss. Of the loss, approximately $1.3 million were the non-cash expenses of depreciation, amortization, derivative liability and stock-based compensation. Further, we had roughly $501 thousand of Merger related costs within the three month period ending March 31, 2019. Since our credit facility is dependent upon receivables, and we do not know when, if ever, that our revenues will return to historic levels or if we will be able to replace those lost revenues with revenues from other sources, the combination of lower credit availability and recent negative cash flows generated from operating activities introduces potential risk to operation without interruption. As described earlier in this report, on November 2, 2018, we entered into the Merger Agreement. At the closing the Merger, which is subject to a number of conditions precedent,, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPT. In addition, on November 1, 2018, we borrowed $1 million from an affiliate of CPT which we are using for working capital, and on November 2, 2018, four directors of the Company lent us $62,500 each, for an aggregate of $250,000, to cover certain costs associated with the pending Merger. In March 2019, we sold an aggregate of $1,440,000 Original Issue Discount Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Notes due September 1, 2020 in a private placement and received $1,200,000 in proceeds which we are using for working capital. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to generate revenues, report profitable operations or close the Merger in which case we would need to find additional sources of credit and make substantial reductions to operating expense. We may not have sufficient cash and credit to operate until the Merger closes. We may have to find additional sources of credit and/or make substantial reductions in our operating expense. A substantial reduction of operating expense may cause disruption to the business and the generation of future revenue. Given the above conditions, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Customer concentration We generated the majority of our revenue from two Demand side customers, Yahoo! and Google as noted below:
| For the Three Months Ended March 31,
| 2019 | 2018
Yahoo! | 73.6% | 70.5 | %
Google | 11.7% | 9.5 | %
Total | 85.3% | 80.0 | %
As of March 31, 2019, Yahoo! and Google accounted for 76.2% of our gross accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2018, two Demand side customers, Yahoo! and Google, accounted for 71.1% of our gross accounts receivable balance. We still source the majority of our Demand revenue through these relationships where we have access to advertiser budgets indirectly. While this strategy creates a concentration risk, we believe that it also provides upside opportunities including; access to hundreds of thousands of advertisers across geographies; the ability to scale our business across verticals; an avoidance of the sales costs associated with a large direct to advertisers’ sales force; access to innovation; overall media budget market insights; attractive payment terms; and low risk on receivables.
