[1] We have determined ALOT trade name 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 5 years (see Note 8). On May 8, 2016, the carrying value was adjusted by approximately $46,000 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.
