Inuvo, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Business
Company Overview
Inuvo is an advertising technology and services business selling information technology solutions to brands, agencies and large consolidators of advertising demand (“Platforms”). Inuvo’s revenue is derived from the placement of digital advertising throughout devices, websites, applications and browsers across social, search and programmatic advertising channels. Inuvo facilitates, and gets paid, to deliver millions of advertising messages monthly and counts among its client's numerous world-renowned companies across industries.
Inuvo’s primary mission is to disrupt the advertising industry with its proprietary and patented generative large language artificial intelligence (AI), a technology capable of identifying and targeting audiences without using a consumer’s identity or data. The AI was designed to replace the consumer data, analytics, segmentation and lookalike modeling technologies that have traditionally served the advertising industry as it transitions to a new paradigm where a consumer’s identity and data are no longer available for advertising decisions due to legislative and technological changes. Rather than targeting people, the AI targets the reasons behind why people are interested in products, services and brands.
Inuvo’s AI technology solves this challenge and can be consumed by clients both as a managed service and software-as-a-service. For certain clients, Inuvo has also developed various proprietary technology and assets that include digital content, websites, automated campaigns, ad fraud detection, performance reporting and predictive media mix modeling.
The Inuvo products and services use analytics, data and artificial intelligence in a manner that optimizes the purchase and placement of advertising in real time. These capabilities are typically sold with services both individually and in combination with each other based on client needs. These products and services include:
| · | IntentKey: An artificial intelligence-based consumer intent recognition system designed to reach highly targeted mobile and desktop In-Market audiences with precision; and |
|
|

We have focused our resources behind a plan to market our collective multi-channel advertising capabilities differentiated by our AI technology, the IntentKey, where we have a technological advantage and higher margins.

Management plans to support the Company’s future operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash raised from the sale of stock in May 2023 and cash generated from its credit facility until such time as we reach profitability. The credit facility is due upon demand and therefore there can be no assurances that sufficient borrowings will be available to support future operations until profitability is reached. Our collection period is less than 30 days and can also be used to meet accrued obligations. We believe our current cash position and credit facility will be sufficient to sustain operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. If our plan to grow the IntentKey product is unsuccessful, we may need to fund operations through private or public sales of securities, debt financings or partnering/licensing transactions over the long term.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements presented are for Inuvo and its subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with those rules and regulations. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with 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 capitalized labor, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations and income tax valuation allowance. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue by identifying audiences and presenting advertisements on behalf of our customers. We provide our products, technologies and services to Agencies & Brands and Platforms (large consolidators of advertising demand). Currently, revenue from our IntentKey products and services are primarily from Agencies & Brands, and revenue from our Bonfire products and services are primarily from Platforms. Our revenue is derived from the placements of advertisements across advertising channels, browsers, applications and devices. Pricing for those advertisement placements is typically either on a cost-per-click or cost per thousand impressions basis.
Our revenue is a function of the number of advertisements placed combined with the price we obtain (using our technologies) for the placements made on behalf of our clients. We assume the risk associated of finding placements at a cost below that for which it had been sold.
We recognize revenue when control of the contracted services or product is transferred to our customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services or products. We determine revenue recognition through (i) identification of a contract with a customer, (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
For Agencies and Brands, the terms of an agreement are captured in an Insertion Order ("IO") where revenue is recognized upon delivery of services during the period covered by the IO. For Platforms, terms are generally captured in multi-year master service agreements and revenue is recognized based on the number of advertisements placed or clicked on in the period they occur. We settle advertisement placement prices with our customers net of any adjustments for quality.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, we generated $

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires retrospective disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. Additionally, it requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an annual tabular effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure including information for specified categories and jurisdiction levels, as well as, disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and significant foreign jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Company Overview
Inuvo is an advertising technology and services business selling information technology solutions to brands, agencies and large consolidators of advertising demand (“Platforms”). Inuvo’s revenue is derived from the placement of digital advertising throughout devices, websites, applications and browsers across social, search and programmatic advertising channels. Inuvo facilitates, and gets paid, to deliver millions of advertising messages monthly and counts among its client's numerous world-renowned companies across industries.
Inuvo’s primary mission is to disrupt the advertising industry with its proprietary and patented generative large language artificial intelligence (AI), a technology capable of identifying and targeting audiences without using a consumer’s identity or data. The AI was designed to replace the consumer data, analytics, segmentation and lookalike modeling technologies that have traditionally served the advertising industry as it transitions to a new paradigm where a consumer’s identity and data are no longer available for advertising decisions due to legislative and technological changes. Rather than targeting people, the AI targets the reasons behind why people are interested in products, services and brands.
Inuvo’s AI technology solves this challenge and can be consumed by clients both as a managed service and software-as-a-service. For certain clients, Inuvo has also developed various proprietary technology and assets that include digital content, websites, automated campaigns, ad fraud detection, performance reporting and predictive media mix modeling.
The Inuvo products and services use analytics, data and artificial intelligence in a manner that optimizes the purchase and placement of advertising in real time. These capabilities are typically sold with services both individually and in combination with each other based on client needs. These products and services include:
| · | IntentKey: An artificial intelligence-based consumer intent recognition system designed to reach highly targeted mobile and desktop In-Market audiences with precision; and |
|
|
|
| · | Bonfire: A marketing and advertising solution where a collection of data, analytics, software and publishing is used to align advertising messages with consumers across websites online. |
There are many barriers to entry associated with the Inuvo business model, including a proficiency in large language model based artificial intelligence, large scale information processing, software development, consumer data products, analytics, IOT (internet of things) integration and the relationships required to execute within the IOT. Inuvo’s intellectual property is protected by 19 issued and eight pending patents.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The estimates and assumptions that management makes affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and assumptions used are based upon management’s regular evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material. Our significant accounting policies related to Revenue Recognition, Equity-Based Compensation, Capitalized Software Costs, Goodwill, Long-lived Assets and others are described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Net Revenue
Revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, increased 9.4% and revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, increased 23.6% as compared to the same periods in 2023, respectively. The higher revenue for the three-and-six-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year periods was attributable to increasing demand within Platforms. Within Agencies & Brands, a new client which started in 2024 and has begun scaling.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue is primarily composed of payments to advertising exchanges that provide access to digital inventory where we serve advertisements. To a lesser extent, cost of revenue includes payments to website publishers and app developers that host advertisements. The decline in cost of revenue for the three-and-six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same time periods in 2023 was related to the change in revenue mix due to higher revenue from Platform clients.

Marketing costs consist mostly of traffic acquisition (i.e., media) costs and include those expenses required to attract audiences to various web properties. Marketing costs for the three-and-six-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 increased due to higher media costs required to serve Platform advertisers.
Compensation expense was approximately $222 thousand lower for the three months ended and approximately $420 thousand lower for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same time periods in 2023 primarily due to lower incentive expense, stock-based compensation, and commission expense. Our total employment, both full- and part-time, was 83 at June 30, 2024 compared to 84 at June 30, 2023.

General and administrative costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $772 thousand and $1.7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 due primarily to a decrease in the expense for doubtful accounts related to a former client in 2022 that now pays consistently, has significantly reduced its outstanding amount owed and is expected to pay the remaining amount due.
Financing expense, net
Finance expense, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was approximately $42 thousand and $63 thousand, respectively.
Finance expense, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was approximately $38 thousand and $57 thousand, respectively.
Other income, net
There was no net other income (expense) in the three-month and six- month period ended June 30, 2024 and the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. For the six-month period ended 2023, net other income was $14 thousand from the unrealized gains, as detailed in Note 3 - Property and Equipment of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are the sale of our common stock and our credit facility discussed in Note 5 - Bank Debt of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
On May 30, 2023, we raised $4.0 million in gross proceeds in a registered direct offering, before expenses, through the sale of an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares were offered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and a prospectus supplement relating to the offering was filed with the SEC on May 26, 2023.
On May 7, 2024, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC (“Wainwright”), to sell shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Shares”), having an aggregate sales price of up to $15,000,000, from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program under which Wainwright will act as sales agent. The sales, if any, of the Shares made under the ATM Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company will pay Wainwright a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of Shares. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement.
On July 31, 2024, we entered into a Financing and Security Agreement (the "Financing Agreement”) with SLR Digital Finance LLC ("SLR”), dated July 30, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, SLR will finance up to $10 million dependent upon eligible receivables. See Note 13 - Subsequent Events of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have focused our resources behind a plan to market our collective multi-channel advertising capabilities differentiated by our AI technology, the IntentKey, where we have a technology advantage and higher margins. If we are successful in implementing our plan, we expect to return to positive cash flows from operations. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve this objective.
As of June 30, 2024, we have over $2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our net working capital deficit was approximately $2.8 million. We have encountered recurring losses and cash outflows from operations, which historically we have funded through equity offerings and debt facilities. In addition, our investment in internally developed software consists primarily of labor costs which are of a fixed nature. Through June 30, 2024, our accumulated deficit was $171.3 million.

Management plans to support the Company’s future operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash raised from the sale of stock in May 2023 and cash generated from its credit facility until such time as we reach profitability. The credit facility is due upon demand and therefore there can be no assurances that sufficient borrowings will be available to support future operations until profitability is reached. Our collection period is less than 30 days and can also be used to meet accrued obligations. We believe our current cash position and credit facility will be sufficient to sustain operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. If our plan to grow the IntentKey product is unsuccessful, we may need to fund operations through private or public sales of securities, debt financings or partnering/licensing transactions over the long term.
Cash Flows
The table below sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Cash Flows - Operating
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,160,170 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. We reported a net loss of $3,858,849, which included non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization expense of $1,350,004, depreciation of right of use assets of $36,115 and stock-based compensation expense of $714,993. The change in operating assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was a net provision of cash of $2,177,150 primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable of $2,500,163 partially offset by a decrease of accrued liabilities and other liabilities of $324,358 and a decrease in accounts payable of $356,230. Our terms are such that we generally collect receivables prior to paying trade payables. However, our Media sales arrangements typically have slower payment terms than the terms of related payables.
During the comparable six-month period in 2023, cash used in operating activities was $2,833,853 from a net loss of $6,817,343 and included several non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization expense of $1,317,203 and stock-based compensation expense of $935,145. The change in operating assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was a net provision of cash of $1,371,741 primarily due to an increase of accrued liabilities and other liabilities of $3,069,680 partially offset by a lower accounts payable balance.
Cash Flows - Investing
Net cash used in investing activities was $933,955 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and consisted primarily of capitalized internal development costs.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $1,452,445 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and consisted primarily of the sale of marketable securities, partially offset by capitalized internal development costs.
Cash Flows - Financing
Net cash used in financing activities was $334,425 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and was primarily due to net taxes paid on restricted stock unit grants exercised.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3,495,105, and was primarily from proceeds from the capital raise (see Note 1 - Organization and Business of our Consolidated Financial Statements).

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2024, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of June 30, 2024, the end of the period covered by this report, our management concluded their evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. As of the evaluation date, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that we maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS-UPDATE
We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Accordingly, we incorporate by reference the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024 and our subsequent filings with the SEC, subject to the new or modified risk factors appearing below that should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in such Form 10-K and our subsequent filings.
We rely on one customer for a significant portion of our revenues. We are reliant upon one customer for most of our revenue. For the three-month period ending June 30, 2024, one Platform customer accounted for 72.9% of our overall revenue and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, 74.3% of our overall revenue. The amount of revenue we receive from this customer is dependent on a number of factors outside of our control, including changes in the respective customers advertising budget, both in terms of allocated dollars and media mix, financial resources of the customers, as well as general economic conditions. We would likely experience a significant decline in revenue and our business operations could be significantly harmed if these customers do not continue to utilize our services. Additionally, our business operations and financial condition could be significantly harmed if these customers do not pay for our services on a timely basis. The loss of any of these customers or a material change in the revenue or gross profit they generate or their failure to timely pay us for our services would have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY AND DISCLOSURES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
None.

Company Overview
Inuvo is an advertising technology and services business selling information technology solutions to brands, agencies and large consolidators of advertising demand (“Platforms”). Inuvo’s revenue is derived from the placement of digital advertising throughout devices, websites, applications and browsers across social, search and programmatic advertising channels. Inuvo facilitates, and gets paid, to deliver millions of advertising messages monthly and counts among its client's numerous world-renowned companies across industries.
Inuvo’s primary mission is to disrupt the advertising industry with its proprietary and patented generative large language artificial intelligence (AI), a technology capable of identifying and targeting audiences without using a consumer’s identity or data. The AI was designed to replace the consumer data, analytics, segmentation and lookalike modeling technologies that have traditionally served the advertising industry as it transitions to a new paradigm where a consumer’s identity and data are no longer available for advertising decisions due to legislative and technological changes. Rather than targeting people, the AI targets the reasons behind why people are interested in products, services and brands.
Inuvo’s AI technology solves this challenge and can be consumed by clients both as a managed service and software-as-a-service. For certain clients, Inuvo has also developed various proprietary technology and assets that include digital content, websites, automated campaigns, ad fraud detection, performance reporting and predictive media mix modeling.
The Inuvo products and services use analytics, data and artificial intelligence in a manner that optimizes the purchase and placement of advertising in real time. These capabilities are typically sold with services both individually and in combination with each other based on client needs. These products and services include:
There are many barriers to entry associated with the Inuvo business model, including a proficiency in large language model based artificial intelligence, large scale information processing, software development, consumer data products, analytics, IOT (internet of things) integration and the relationships required to execute within the IOT. Inuvo’s intellectual property is protected by 19 issued and eight pending patents.
Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity are the sale of our common stock and our credit facility discussed in Note 5 - Bank Debt of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
On May 30, 2023, we raised $4.0 million in gross proceeds in a registered direct offering, before expenses, through the sale of an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of our common stock. The shares were offered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and a prospectus supplement relating to the offering was filed with the SEC on May 26, 2023.
On May 7, 2024, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC (“Wainwright”), to sell shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Shares”), having an aggregate sales price of up to $15,000,000, from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program under which Wainwright will act as sales agent. The sales, if any, of the Shares made under the ATM Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company will pay Wainwright a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of Shares. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement.
On July 31, 2024, we entered into a Financing and Security Agreement (the "Financing Agreement”) with SLR Digital Finance LLC ("SLR”), dated July 30, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, SLR will finance up to $10 million dependent upon eligible receivables. See Note 13 - Subsequent Events of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have focused our resources behind a plan to market our collective multi-channel advertising capabilities differentiated by our AI technology, the IntentKey, where we have a technological advantage and higher margins. If we are successful in implementing our plan, we expect to return to positive cash flows from operations. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve this objective.
As of June 30, 2024, we have over $2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Our net working capital deficit was approximately $2.8 million. We have encountered recurring losses and cash outflows from operations, which historically we have funded through equity offerings and debt facilities. In addition, our investment in internally developed software consists primarily of labor costs which are of a fixed nature. Through June 30, 2024, our accumulated deficit was $171.3 million.
Management plans to support the Company’s future operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash raised from the sale of stock in May 2023 and cash generated from its credit facility until such time as we reach profitability. The credit facility is due upon demand and therefore there can be no assurances that sufficient borrowings will be available to support future operations until profitability is reached. Our collection period is less than 30 days and can also be used to meet accrued obligations. We believe our current cash position and credit facility will be sufficient to sustain operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing. If our plan to grow the IntentKey product is unsuccessful, we may need to fund operations through private or public sales of securities, debt financings or partnering/licensing transactions over the long term. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements presented are for Inuvo and its subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with those rules and regulations. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with 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 capitalized labor, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations and income tax valuation allowance. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue by identifying audiences and presenting advertisements on behalf of our customers. We provide our products, technologies and services to Agencies & Brands and Platforms (large consolidators of advertising demand). Currently, revenue from our IntentKey products and services are primarily from Agencies & Brands, and revenue from our Bonfire products and services are primarily from Platforms. Our revenue is derived from the placements of advertisements across advertising channels, browsers, applications and devices. Pricing for those advertisement placements is typically either on a cost-per-click or cost per thousand impressions basis.
Our revenue is a function of the number of advertisements placed combined with the price we obtain (using our technologies) for the placements made on behalf of our clients. We assume the risk associated of finding placements at a cost below that for which it had been sold.
We recognize revenue when control of the contracted services or product is transferred to our customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services or products. We determine revenue recognition through (i) identification of a contract with a customer, (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
For Agencies and Brands, the terms of an agreement are captured in an Insertion Order ("IO") where revenue is recognized upon delivery of services during the period covered by the IO. For Platforms, terms are generally captured in multi-year master service agreements and revenue is recognized based on the number of advertisements placed or clicked on in the period they occur. We settle advertisement placement prices with our customers net of any adjustments for quality.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, we generated $18,209,005 in revenue of which 82.8% was from Platforms and 17.2% from Agencies and Brands. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we generated $16,651,405 in revenue of which 78.6% was from Platforms and 21.4% from Agencies and Brands. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, we generated $35,232,782 in revenue of which 83.4% was from Platforms and 16.6% from Agencies and Brands. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we generated $28,498,845 in revenue of which 73.5% was from Platforms and 26.5% from Agencies and Brands.
Customer concentration
For the three-month period ending June 30, 2024, one Platform customer accounted for 72.9% of our overall revenue and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, 74.3% of our overall revenue. That same customer accounted for 53.1% of our gross accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the same customer accounted for 50.5% of our gross accounts receivable balance.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires retrospective disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. Additionally, it requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an annual tabular effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure including information for specified categories and jurisdiction levels, as well as, disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and significant foreign jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. |

On March 1, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to Loan and Security Agreement and Collateral Documents (“Agreement”) with Mitsubishi HC Capital America, Inc., f/k/a/ Hitachi Capital America Corp. (“MHCA”). Under the terms of the Agreement, MHCA has provided us with a $5,000,000 line of credit commitment. We are permitted to borrow up to 85% of the aggregate Eligible Accounts Receivable, up to the maximum credit commitment of $5,000,000. We will pay MHCA monthly interest at the rate of 1.75% in excess of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. The principal and all accrued but unpaid interest are due on demand. In the event of a default under the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement, the interest rate increases to 6% greater than the interest rate in effect from time to time prior to a default. The Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants to which we are also subject. We agreed to pay MHCA an amendment fee of $10,000 on issuance of the Agreement, and thereafter an annual commitment fee of $10,000. We are also obligated to pay MHCA a quarterly service fee of 0.20% on the monthly unused amount of the maximum credit line. If we terminate the Agreement before February 28, 2025, we are obligated to pay MHCA an exit fee of $25,000. The Loan and Security Agreement continues for an indefinite term. At June 30, 2024, the outstanding balances due under the Loan and Security Agreement was $0. Our borrowing capacity at June 30, 2024 was $5,000,000.
All obligations to MHCA have been satisfied and the Agreement was terminated as of July 31, 2024. |

On September 17, 2021, we signed a multi-year agreement with a business development partner to provide referral and support services to us. The agreement required an advance fee of $1.5 million with $300,000 recorded in other current assets. The advance is being amortized as marketing expenses over five years. As of June 30, 2024, $850,000 has been amortized and the total current and non-current balance is $650,000. As part of the agreement, we granted a warrant exercisable into 300,000 shares of our common stock, which vested over two years upon achieving certain performance metrics (see Note 10 - Stockholders' Equity). Additionally, we agreed to pay quarterly support fees upon reaching certain levels of operational activity. In April 2022, we agreed to Amendment No. 2 ("amendment") to the agreement. The amendment replaced the quarterly support fees with a commission on quarterly cumulative programmatic revenue.
The amendment also revised the cumulative target media spend and the associated commission.
In addition, effective September 26, 2023, Inuvo and the business development partner entered into an Offset Agreement whereby the parties agreed that the commission due to the partner be offset against the outstanding receivable balances due to Inuvo. We offset approximately $960,852 in commissions due to the partner against the outstanding receivable of $642,202. The total amount of commission recognized, net of the $67 thousand commission adjustment per our offset agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2023 was approximately $52 thousand. Commission expense of approximately $17 thousand was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2024. |

As of June 30, 2024, we have $5 thousand deferred income tax expense and incur only the minimum state taxes which are included in operating expenses. We have deferred tax assets of $42,619,514. We believe it is more likely than not that essentially none of our deferred tax assets will be realized, and we have recorded a valuation allowance of $41,543,303 for the deferred tax assets that may not be realized as of June 30, 2024. We also have deferred tax liabilities totaling $1,170,800 as of June 30, 2024, related to intangible assets acquired in March 2012 and February 2017. These balances are presented as a net deferred tax liability of $94,589 composed of indefinite lived intangible assets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has a net deferred tax liability of $89,238. The net deferred tax liability is due to goodwill and trade name that are amortized for tax purposes both of which are not being amortized for book purposes. |

Stock-Based Compensation | Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation
We maintain a stock-based compensation program intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for talented employees and directors and align stockholder and employee interests. During the 2024 and 2023 periods, we granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") from the 2017 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended (“2017 ECP”). RSU vesting periods are generally up to three years and/or based upon achieving certain financial targets.
As of June 30, 2024, the total number of authorized shares of our common stock under the 2017 ECP was 24,550,000.
Compensation Expense
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we recorded stock-based compensation expense for all equity incentive plans of $714,993 and $935,145, respectively. Total compensation cost not yet recognized at June 30, 2024 was $2,180,386, which will be recognized over the next three years.
The following table summarizes the stock grants outstanding under 2017 ECP for the three months ended June 30, 2024:
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 0% 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.
There were no stock option awards outstanding as of the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Warrants
On September 17, 2021, we signed an agreement with a marketing platform and consulting company to provide referral and support services to us for a period of five years (see Note 7 - Commitments). As part of that agreement, we granted a warrant exercisable into 300,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.72 per share and vests in two tranches when certain performance metrics are achieved. The warrant was valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model at a total of $149,551 based on a seven-year term, an implied volatility of 100%, a risk-free equivalent yield of 1.17%, and a stock price of $0.71. The warrant is classified as equity and will be expensed on a ratable basis over the vesting period of each tranche. On August 31, 2022, 85,862 shares vested in accordance with the contracted performance criteria. On August 31, 2023, 21,136 shares vested in accordance with the contracted performance criteria. For the second tranche, we reversed approximately $7.9 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 due to a change in the probability of performance criteria being achieved. In accordance with our agreement, after the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date, any interests in Warrant shares that have not vested pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement shall be deemed forfeited and shall never become exercisable. At the period ended December 31, 2023, approximately 193 thousand shares have been forfeited. As of the period ended June, 30, 2024, there are 107 thousand vested shares outstanding.
Earnings per Share
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated a net loss from continuing operations and as a result, any potential common shares are anti-dilutive. |

Leases | Note 11 – Leases
We have entered into operating and finance leases primarily for real estate and equipment rental. These leases have terms which range from three years to five years, and often include one or more options to renew or in the case of equipment rental, to purchase the equipment. These operating and finance leases are listed as separate line items on our consolidated balance sheets and represent our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Our obligation to make lease payments is also listed as separate line items on our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total operating and financed right-of-use assets were $1,029,164 and $36,449, and $805,786 and $72,560, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $36,115 and $58,013, respectively, in amortization expense related to finance leases.
In May 2023, we entered into an agreement to lease 4,128 square feet of office space in San Jose, CA commencing on September 1, 2023. The lease has a term of sixty-five months with an abatement period of five months and will cost approximately $208,000 during its first year. Thereafter, the lease payments increase by 3% annually.
In January 2024, we amended and renewed our lease at our corporate headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas. The lease was extended for thirty-six months commencing on February 1, 2024 and expiring on January 31, 2027 and will cost approximately $127,000 during its first year. Thereafter, the lease payments increase by 2% annually.
Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments.
Information related to our operating lease liabilities for the period ended June 30, 2024 are as follows:

On July 30, 2024, we entered into a Financing and Security Agreement and Collateral Documents (“ Financing Agreement”) with SLR Digital Finance LLC (“SLR”). Under the terms of the Financing Agreement, SLR has provided us with a $10,000,000 line of credit commitment. We are permitted to borrow up to 90% of eligible accounts receivable under the Financing Agreement, up to the maximum credit commitment of $10,000,000. We will pay SLR monthly interest at the rate of 1.0% in excess of the Prime Rate but not less than 7%. The Financing Agreement has a three year term. The Financing Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants to which we are also subject. We agreed to pay SLR an annual facility fee of 0.80% of the maximum credit commitment. We also agreed to pay a minimum utilization amount of the interest rate multiplied by difference between $500,000 and the average daily outstanding loan during a month. We are obligated to pay SLR a monthly service fee of 0.15% on of the average net amount of outstanding loans during each month. If we terminate the Financing Agreement prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, an amount equal to 1.0% of the maximum credit commitment will be due as an early termination payment and if we terminate after the second anniversary of the Effective Date but prior to the end of the term, an amount equal to 0.25% of the maximum credit commitment will be due. Repayment of the financing agreement will be made through collections from eligible accounts receivable. |

Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material. |
Revenue recognition | We generate revenue by identifying audiences and presenting advertisements on behalf of our customers. We provide our products, technologies and services to Agencies & Brands and Platforms (large consolidators of advertising demand). Currently, revenue from our IntentKey products and services are primarily from Agencies & Brands, and revenue from our Bonfire products and services are primarily from Platforms. Our revenue is derived from the placements of advertisements across advertising channels, browsers, applications and devices. Pricing for those advertisement placements is typically either on a cost-per-click or cost per thousand impressions basis.
Our revenue is a function of the number of advertisements placed combined with the price we obtain (using our technologies) for the placements made on behalf of our clients. We assume the risk associated of finding placements at a cost below that for which it had been sold.
We recognize revenue when control of the contracted services or product is transferred to our customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services or products. We determine revenue recognition through (i) identification of a contract with a customer, (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
For Agencies and Brands, the terms of an agreement are captured in an Insertion Order ("IO") where revenue is recognized upon delivery of services during the period covered by the IO. For Platforms, terms are generally captured in multi-year master service agreements and revenue is recognized based on the number of advertisements placed or clicked on in the period they occur. We settle advertisement placement prices with our customers net of any adjustments for quality.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, we generated $18,209,005 in revenue of which 82.8% was from Platforms and 17.2% from Agencies and Brands. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we generated $16,651,405 in revenue of which 78.6% was from Platforms and 21.4% from Agencies and Brands. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, we generated $35,232,782 in revenue of which 83.4% was from Platforms and 16.6% from Agencies and Brands. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we generated $28,498,845 in revenue of which 73.5% was from Platforms and 26.5% from Agencies and Brands. |
Customer concentration | For the three-month period ending June 30, 2024, one Platform customer accounted for 72.9% of our overall revenue and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, 74.3% of our overall revenue. That same customer accounted for 53.1% of our gross accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the same customer accounted for 50.5% of our gross accounts receivable balance. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires retrospective disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. Additionally, it requires disclosure of the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires an annual tabular effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure including information for specified categories and jurisdiction levels, as well as, disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and significant foreign jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
