[1] We have determined the ALOT trade names should be amortized over five years and the trade names related to our web properties have an indefinite life, and as such are not amortized.

[2] On May 8, 2015, we purchased two domain websites with a fair value of $715,874. We determined they should be amortized over five years (see Note 7). The carrying value was adjusted by approximately $46 thousand to reflect the lower price paid as compared to the contingent liability recorded as a result of the change in the price of Inuvo stock from the date of acquisition to the first contingent release of shares.
