First Quarter Results Highlights:

• Revenue— First quarter 2011 revenue of $16.8 million represents a decrease of 10% over the first quarter 2010 revenue of $18.6 million.

• GAAP Net Income (Loss)— First quarter 2011 GAAP net loss was $1.3 million or ($0.07) per diluted share, compared to the first quarter 2010 GAAP net income of $134,000 or $0.01 per diluted share.

• Adjusted Net Income— First quarter 2011 Adjusted Net Income was $8,000 or $0.00 per diluted share and represents a decrease in Adjusted Net Income over first quarter 2010 of $2.6 million or $0.16 per diluted share.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) excluding: provision for income taxes; interest and other income (expense), net; depreciation; amortization; stock based compensation charges; gain or loss on warrant revaluation; and non-recurring items.

An explanation of the company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures, including the limitations of such measures relative to GAAP measures is included below and reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP measures, where appropriate, is included in the financial tables attached to this release.

• Cash— On March 31, 2011, the company’s cash balance was $20.2 million. The increase in cash during the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to a public offering with net cash proceeds of $18.2 million, partially offset by the repayment of the revolving line of credit, various acquisition-related costs, capital expenditures and changes in working capital.

• Debt —During the first quarter of 2011, the company repaid $7 million on the revolving line of credit which was the total amount outstanding. Future availability on the $30 million revolving line of credit is, among other things, dependent on reaching $1 million in quarterly Adjusted Net Income, which the company did not achieve as of first quarter 2011.

First Quarter Operating and Recent Highlights:

• Spreebird Launch— On May 2, 2011, the company launched Spreebird, the company’s new daily deal service, website and brand. Spreebird aggregates daily deals from third parties and provides these deals to consumers, tailoring them to consumers’ personal tastes and interests. The company also launched direct sales in three markets and announced plans to grow direct sales to an additional 17 markets by the end of the year. The company intends to make material investments in growing Spreebird in future periods.

• Krillion Acquisition— On April 29, 2011, the company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Krillion, Inc. (Krillion) for approximately $3.5 million in cash. Krillion is a local shopping data and content provider. Krillion provides data on over 70,000 products in over 50,000 retail locations nationwide and will continue to power product locators for major brands. Krillion will provide content for the company’s planned local retail vertical and mobile shopping applications for smartphones and tablets. Krillion is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Local.com with offices in Mountain View, Calif.

• Local.com “Activities” — On April 14, 2011, the company launched a beta version “Activities” vertical on the Local.com site (http://activities.local.com/). The new vertical allows users to find and book tickets for thousands of local activities, including tours, attractions, and things to do.

• Rovion Asset Acquisition— On April 4, 2011, the company entered into a new asset purchase agreement with Digital Post Interactive, Inc. (DGLP) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rovion, Inc. (Rovion), pursuant to which the company seeks to acquire substantially all of the assets of Rovion. The acquisition will be completed upon the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

• Public Offering— On January 20, 2011, the company completed a public offering of 4.6 million common shares at a public offering price of $4.25 per share. Net proceeds to the company, were approximately $18.2 million. The company plans to use the net proceeds for acquisitions, general corporate purposes and working capital.

•	Traffic— First quarter 2011 O&O traffic was 53 million monthly MUVs, up 13% from first quarter 2010 MUVs of 47 million.
•	Organic Traffic— O&O organic traffic was 5.7 million MUVs in the first quarter 2011, up 24% from the first quarter 2010 MUVs of 4.6 million. Organic traffic is defined as all non-SEM sourced traffic.
•	Monetization of Traffic— Revenue per thousand visitors (RKV) for first quarter 2011 was $211, down 19% from first quarter 2010 RKV of $260.
Network:
•	Revenue— First quarter 2011 total revenue related to the Network business unit was $3.7 million, down 28% from the first quarter 2010 Network revenue of $5.2 million and down 40% from fourth quarter 2010 revenue of $6.2 million.
•	Network Sites— The company ended the first quarter 2011 with over 1,000 Network sites and over 100,000 domains under management, up from over 850 Network sites in the first quarter 2010.

Sales & Advertiser Services:

• Revenue —First quarter 2011 total revenue related to the SAS business unit was $2.8 million, up 4% from first quarter 2010 SAS revenue of $2.7 million and down 27% from fourth quarter 2010 revenue of $3.9 million.

• Small Business Subscribers— The company ended the first quarter of 2011 with over 37,000 small business subscribers. The decrease from the prior quarter is due to natural attrition after the company suspended acquisitions of additional subscriber bases in 2010.

Second Quarter 2011 Financial Guidance:

Revenue — The company expects second quarter 2011 revenue of approximately $17.0 million.

Adjusted Net Income — Adjusted Net Loss for the second quarter 2011 is expected to be approximately $2.5 million or ($0.12) per share.

The majority of the company’s projected Adjusted Net Loss is attributable to its planned investment in its Spreebird business and Rovion and Krillion acquisitions. These investments are an important part of the company’s growth strategy.

Projected second quarter 2011 Adjusted Net Income factors:

• Interest Expense of $30,000

• Tax Provision Expense of $30,000

• Depreciation Expense of $535,000

• Amortization Expense of $955,000

• Stock Compensation Expense of $860,000

• Warrant Revaluation Expense and Other Non-Recurring items are undeterminable*

* The valuation of the warrant liability is based in large part on the underlying price and volatility of our common stock during the quarter. Since we cannot predict this, we, in turn, cannot project the non-cash gain or loss in connection with these warrants, and therefore cannot reasonably project our GAAP net income. We therefore cannot provide GAAP guidance, but do report GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure of “Adjusted Net Income” which we define as net income (loss) excluding: provision for income taxes; interest and other income (expense), net; depreciation; amortization; stock based compensation charges; gain or loss on warrant revaluation; and non-recurring items. Adjusted Net Income, as defined above, is not a measurement under GAAP. Adjusted Net Income is reconciled to net income (loss) which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income is set forth at the end of this press release.

Management believes that Adjusted Net Income 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 items which are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company’s business operations. Management uses Adjusted Net Income in evaluating the overall performance of the company’s business operations.

A limitation of non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income 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 in conjunction with net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share measures. The company believes

that Adjusted Net Income 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; 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.
