Forward Looking Statements; Non-GAAP Financial Measures 2 Forward-Looking Statements: This document contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties concerning Local.com Corporation's expected financial performance, as well as Local.com's strategic and operational plans. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. The potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, Yahoo!-Bing paying less RPC and revenues to us for our search results, our ability to adapt our business following the Yahoo!-Bing integration or to improve our RPCs and revenues following that integration, our ability to monetize the Local.com domain, including at a profit, our ability to retain a monetization partner for the Local.com domain and other web properties under our management that allows us to operate profitably, our ability to develop, market and operate our local-search technologies, our ability to market the Local.com domain as a destination for consumers seeking local-search results, our ability to grow our business by enhancing our local-search services, including through businesses we acquire, the future performance of our OCTANE360 business, the integration and future performance of our social buying business, our Krillion business and our Rovion business, as well as any other businesses we may acquire, our ability to successfully expand our Spreebird business into new markets, the possibility that the information and estimates used to predict anticipated revenues and expenses associated with the businesses we acquire are not accurate, difficulties executing integration strategies or achieving planned synergies, the possibility that integration costs and go-forward costs associated with the businesses we acquire will be higher than anticipated, our ability to successfully expand our sales channels for new and existing products and services, our ability to increase the number of businesses that purchase our advertising products, our ability to expand our advertiser and distribution networks, our ability to integrate and effectively utilize our acquisitions' technologies, our ability to develop our products and sales, marketing, finance and administrative functions and successfully integrate our expanded infrastructure, as well as our dependence on major advertisers, competitive factors and pricing pressures, changes in legal and regulatory requirements, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. Unless otherwise stated, all site traffic and usage statistics are from third-party service providers engaged by the company. Our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10- Q and Form 10-Q/A, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings discuss the foregoing risks as well as other important risk factors that could contribute to such differences or otherwise affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The forward-looking statements in this release speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason. This document includes the non-GAAP financial measure of "Adjusted Net Income/Loss" which we define as net income/loss excluding: provision for income taxes; interest and other income (expense), net; depreciation; amortization; stock based compensation charges, warrant revaluation charges and non-recurring items. Adjusted Net Income/Loss, as defined above, is not a measurement under GAAP. Adjusted Net Income/Loss is reconciled to net loss and loss per share, which we believe are the most comparable GAAP measures, in the company's press release dated February 7, 2011, as furnished on the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2011. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income/Loss provides useful information to investors about the company's performance because it eliminates the effects of period-to-period changes in income from interest on the company's cash and marketable securities, expense from the company's financing transactions and the costs associated with income tax expense, capital investments, stock-based compensation expense, warrant revaluation charges, and non- recurring charges which are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company's business operations. Management uses Adjusted Net Income/Loss in evaluating the overall performance of the company's business operations. A limitation of non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income/Loss is that it excludes items that often have a material effect on the company's net income and earnings per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, management compensates for this limitation by using Adjusted Net Income/Loss in conjunction with GAAP net loss and loss per share measures. The company believes that Adjusted Net Income/Loss provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating the company's core performance, which management uses in its own evaluation of overall performance, and as a base-line for assessing the future earnings potential of the company. While the GAAP results are more complete, the company prefers to allow investors to have this supplemental metric since, with reconciliation to GAAP (as noted above), it may provide greater insight into the company's financial results. The non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP net income or earnings per share.
