The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	1	The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Nature of operations
	Local Corporation (the “Company”) is a local media company that specializes in connecting local businesses with online consumers. The Company reaches consumers on its proprietary sites, as well as third-party sites (collectively, “Consumer Properties”), which includes its Owned & Operated web sites such as Local.com and Krillion.com (collectively, “O&O”), as well as its network of third-party U.S. regional media websites (collectively, “Network”). The Company continues to provide digital media services to its existing small and medium sized businesses (“SMBs”) acquired through the Company’s legacy direct sales business and continues to seek channel sales opportunities for these products (“Business Solutions”). The Company also enables third parties to distribute their advertiser listings on its Consumer Properties, from which the Company generates ad revenue. The Company generates revenue principally from display advertising and performance ad units such as pay-per-click, pay-per-call, lead generation and subscription ad units.
	The Company uses patented and proprietary technologies and systems to provide users of its O&O websites and Network with relevant search results for local businesses, products and services, event information, ratings and reviews, driving directions and more into our search results. By distributing this information across its Consumer Properties, the Company is able to reach users that its direct advertisers and advertising partners desire to reach.
	In January 2013, the Company shifted its Business Solutions strategy to focus exclusively on channel sales opportunities. The Company continues to develop theses channel sales relationships through which it intends to be able to offer its Launch by Local products.
	In July 2013, the Company sold all the assets of its Spreebird business. The Spreebird business operations are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation
	The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Local Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Krillion, Inc. and Screamin Media Group, Inc (“SMG”). All intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
	The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, included herein, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair presentation.
	The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2013.
	Discontinued Operations
	As a result of the Company’s decision to sell all of the assets and liabilities relating to its Rovion business and all of the assets of its Spreebird business, the Company has reclassified and presented all related historical financial information as it relates to these assets and liabilities as “assets held for sale” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and “discontinued operations” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, all related activities have been excluded from footnote disclosures unless specifically referenced. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income (loss). The sale of the Spreebird business assets closed on July 26, 2013, for a minimum consideration of $210,000.
	Use of estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable (including long-term receivable) and sales allowances, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, warrant and conversion option liabilities, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of accounts receivable, long and short term notes receivable, revolving line of credit, accounts payable, the conversion option liability, warrant liability, term loan, and senior secured convertible notes. The carrying amounts of the revolving line of credit and term loan approximate their fair values because the interest rate on these instruments fluctuates with market interest rates. The long term note receivable and senior secured convertible notes have a fixed interest rate considered to be at market rates and therefore the carrying value also approximates its fair value. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
	The fair values of the conversion option and warrant liability are determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method, a “Level 3” input, based on the quoted price of our common stock, volatility based on the historical market activity of our stock, the expected life based on the remaining contractual term of the conversion option and warrants and the risk free interest rate based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury Securities with a maturity equivalent to the warrants’ and conversion options’ contractual life.
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis over two to four years. In 2012, the Company accelerated the amortization of certain small business subscriber relationships as the expected useful lives of such small business subscriber relationship was truncated due to changes in the Company’s ability to bill such small business subscribers.
	Impairment of Long-lived Assets
	The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of definite life intangible and long-lived assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. In accordance with the guidance, such assets to be held are reviewed for events, or changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews related carrying values to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, management recorded impairment charges for certain capitalized software assets and intangible assets with a book value of $300,000 and $182,000, respectively, related to its Spreebird business unit. The impairment charges were due to the Company’s sale of the assets of its Spreebird business and the cessation of its Spreebird business operations. Such impairment charges are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company generates revenue when it is realizable and earned, as evidenced by click-throughs occurring on advertisers’ sponsored listings, the display of a banner advertisement, the fulfillment of subscription listing obligations, or the delivery of its SMB products to its customers or those of its channel partners. The Company enters into contracts to distribute sponsored listings and banner advertisements with our direct and indirect advertisers. Most of these contracts are short-term, do not contain multiple elements and can be cancelled at anytime. The Company’s indirect advertisers provide us with sponsored listings with bid prices (for example, what their advertisers are willing to pay for each click-through on those listings). The Company recognizes its portion of the bid price based upon our contractual agreement. Sponsored listings and banner advertisements are included within pages that display search results, among others, in response to keyword searches performed by consumers on its Consumer Properties. Revenue is recognized when earned based on click-through and impression activity to the extent that collection is reasonably assured from credit worthy advertisers. Revenue recognized is net of estimated adjustments for traffic screening. Management has analyzed our revenue recognition and determined that our web hosting revenue is recognized net of direct costs.
	The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of sales and related costs or the net amount earned as revenue. Generally, when the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or has several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded at the gross sales price. The Company generally records the net amounts as revenue earned if we are not primarily obligated and do not have latitude in establishing prices. Such amounts earned are determined using a fixed percentage, a fixed-payment schedule, or a combination of the two. All revenue, other than web hosting revenue, is recognized on a gross basis.
	Cost of Revenues
	Cost of revenues consists of traffic acquisition costs, revenue sharing payments that the Company makes to its network partners, and other cost of revenues. Traffic acquisition costs consist primarily of campaign costs associated with driving consumers to its O&O websites, including personnel costs associated with managing traffic acquisition programs. Other cost of revenues consists of Internet connectivity costs, data center costs, amortization of certain software license fees and maintenance, depreciation of computer equipment used in providing our paid-search services, and payment processing fees (credit cards and fees for LEC billings). The Company advertises on large search engine websites such as Google, Inc. (“Google”), Yahoo!, Inc. (“Yahoo”), and Microsoft Inc./Bing (“Microsoft”), as well as other search engine websites, by bidding on certain keywords we believe will drive traffic to its O&O websites. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 56%, of our overall traffic were purchased from other search engine websites. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, advertising costs to drive consumers to our Local.com website were $7.4 million and $26.3 million respectively. Of the total advertising cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $5.7 million and $19.4 million were attributable to Google and $1.3 million and $5.0 million were attributable to Yahoo, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 61% and 62%, respectively, of our overall traffic were purchased from other search engine websites. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, advertising costs to drive consumers to our Local.com website were $15.2 million and $46.4 million respectively. Of the total advertising cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, $10.3 million and $32.1 million were attributable to Google and $4.3 million and $12.7 million were attributable to Yahoo, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	'
	4	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Goodwill representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets arising from acquisitions and purchased domain names are recorded at cost. Intangible assets, such as goodwill and domain names, which are determined to have an indefinite life, are not amortized. The first step in determining if there is any goodwill impairment is a comparison of the estimated fair value of an internal reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired and the second step is unnecessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the goodwill to a determination of the implied value of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill is greater than the implied value, an impairment charge is recognized for the difference.
	The Company performs annual impairment reviews during the fourth fiscal quarter of each year or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist. For other intangible assets with indefinite lives, the Company compares the fair value of related assets to the carrying value to determine if there is impairment. The Company’s indefinite lived intangible assets consist of domain names for which the fair value is determined by using a third party valuation site which calculates the value of domain names using internal algorithms. For other intangible assets with definite lives, the Company compares future undiscounted cash flow forecasts prepared by management to the carrying value of the related intangible asset group to determine if there is impairment.
	With the Company’s decision to sell the assets of its Spreebird business unit, the carrying value of the goodwill associated with the Spreebird business was determined to be fully impaired. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, which included goodwill of $2.6 million. Such impairment charge is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

	U.S. GAAP requires that development costs incurred in the preliminary project and post-implementation stages of an internal use software project be expensed as incurred and that certain costs incurred in the application development stage of a project be capitalized. U.S. GAAP further requires that costs incurred in the preliminary project and operating stage of website development be expensed as incurred and that certain costs incurred in the development stage of website development be capitalized and amortized over its useful life. Capitalized website costs are included in property and equipment, net. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $300,000 relating to capitalized software of the Spreebird business unit. Such impairment charge is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

	On August 3, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Square 1 Bank, as amended. The Loan Agreement provides us with a revolving credit facility of up to $12.0 million (the “Facility”). The Loan Agreement maturity date is February 3, 2015. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the borrowing base used to determine loan availability under the Facility is based on a formula equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, with account eligibility measured in accordance with standard determinations as more particularly defined in the Loan Agreement (the “Formula Revolving Line”). Prior to March 28, 2013, the Company was allowed to borrow $3.0 million, irrespective of the formula noted above and had borrowed $3.0 million from the Facility (the “Non-Formula Advance”). On March 28, 2013, the date of the sixth amendment, Square 1 Bank terminated the non-Formula Advances and the Company is repaying the outstanding Non-Formula Advance amount of $3.0 million, plus all accrued interest, over 24 months beginning on April 28, 2013. On April 10, 2013, the date of the Seventh Amendment, Square 1 Bank added as security under the Loan Agreement all of our intellectual property and to undertake certain reporting obligations to Square 1 Bank with respect to such intellectual property. All amounts borrowed under the Facility are secured by a general security interest on our assets. The Non-Formula Advance is deemed to be a term loan and allocated between the short-term and long-term portion. As of September 30, 2013, the Non-Formula Advance had an outstanding balance of $2.3 million of which $1.5 million was considered to be current.
	Except as otherwise set forth in the Loan Agreement, borrowings made pursuant to the Formula Revolving Line will bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) 5.0% or (ii) the Prime Rate (as announced by Square 1 Bank) plus 1.75% and borrowings made pursuant to the Non-Formula Revolving Line will bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) 5.25% or (ii) the Prime Rate (as announced by Square 1 Bank) plus 2.0%. Additionally, there is an annual fee of $25,000 and an unused line fee equal to 0.25% of the unused line if less than 40% of the Facility is in use.
	The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants for facilities of this type, including certain restrictions on dispositions of assets, changes in business, change in control, mergers and acquisitions, payment of dividends, and incurrence of certain indebtedness and encumbrances. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults and a breach of representations and warranties and covenants. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, Square 1 Bank has certain rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, including declaring all outstanding borrowings immediately due and payable, ceasing to advance money or extend credit, and rights of set-off.
	The Company must meet certain financial covenants during the term of the Facility, including (i) maintaining a minimum liquidity ratio, which is defined as cash on hand plus the most recently reported borrowing base less the aggregate amount outstanding under the Non-Formula Revolving Line divided by outstanding bank debt less the Non-Formula Revolving Line, and (ii) certain Adjusted EBITDA covenants, as defined, as more particularly described in the Agreement and amendments to the Agreement (such Adjusted EBITDA amounts are for financial covenant purposes only, and do not represent projections of the Company’s financial results). The Loan Agreement provides for a five day cure period for any liquidity ratio violations before any such violation would be deemed an event of default under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also includes a covenant requiring us to obtain approval from Square 1 Bank in the event we have a going concern paragraph included in the independent registered public accounting firm’s opinion. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.
	In connection with the sale of the assets of the Spreebird business, the Company obtained a release from Square 1 Bank and the holders of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes to allow the Company to sell such assets.
	At September 30, 2013, the Company had a total of $8.7 million outstanding and $3.3 million available under the Facility.

	The Company manages its business functionally and has historically had two reportable operating segments: Paid Search and Daily Deals. Paid Search consists of the Company’s online businesses that collectively reach customers with a variety of local online advertising products and web hosting. The Company’s Daily Deals segment consisted of the Company’s business that reaches its customers with discounted offers for goods and services provided by merchants. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company decided to sell the assets relating to the Daily Deals segment. The Spreebird Business, which comprises the entire Daily Deals segment, was deemed to be discontinued operations; and therefore, the Company has one reporting segment going forward.

The warrants were issued in connection with a private placement transaction consummated on August 1, 2007, including warrants to purchase 537,373 shares of the Company’s common stock issued on August 1, 2007 (the “Series B Warrants”) and warrants to purchase 77,707 shares of the Company’s common stock issued on January 20, 2011, as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained in each of the Series B Warrants (the “New Series B Warrants” and together with the Series B Warrants, the “Warrants”).
	On February 28, 2013, the Company entered into separate Exchange Agreements with each of the holders (collectively the “Investors”) of all of these outstanding Warrants.
	In the Exchange Agreements, the Investors agreed to surrender for cancellation all of their Warrants in exchange for an aggregate of 430,561 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the exchange, the Company recorded a loss on warrant exchange of $723,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

	On April 10, 2013, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with two investors. Pursuant to this agreement, the investors purchased an aggregate of $5.0 million of 7% subordinated convertible notes (“Notes”) and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Interest is payable quarterly in cash or registered shares of the Company’s common stock at the Company’s option. Stock payments will be at a 7% discount to the lower of the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding or the average of the daily Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the 20 trading days preceding the payment date. The Notes are secured by the Company’s assets and are due on April 10, 2015. Each Note holder has the right, at any time, to convert their Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion ratio of one share of common stock for each $2.01 of principal amount of their note. The Company has the option to force conversion of all or part of the Notes provided the Company’s common stock price exceeds 200% of the conversion price for 90 consecutive trading days.
	Based on applicable accounting guidance, the Company determined that the conversion option should be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model the Company determined the fair value of the conversion option liability to be $1.4 million at the date of the Agreement. The Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 746,268 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.01 per share that expire five years from the date of issuance. The relative fair value of these warrants, using the Black-Scholes valuation model at the date of grant, was $768,000. The conversion option and warrant liability was recorded as convertible debt discount and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes using the effective interest rate method. The conversion option liability and warrant liability will be fair valued at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recorded in the income statement.
	The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model for valuing the warrant liability were as follows: no dividend yield; 0.74% interest rate; five years contractual life; and volatility of 75.25%.
	The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model for valuing the conversion option liability were as follows: no dividend yield; 0.24% interest rate; two years contractual life; and volatility of 66.08%.
	The Notes are subordinate to the Square 1 Bank line of credit.
	In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company paid $356,000 in cash for placement agent fees of which $127,500 was paid to a director of the Company. The Company also incurred legal and other consulting fees totaling $244,000 related to the issuance of the Notes. Fees related to the issuance of the Notes are recorded in prepaid expenses and are amortized into interest expense over the life of the Notes.

	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable (including long-term receivable) and sales allowances, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, warrant and conversion option liabilities, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of accounts receivable, long and short term notes receivable, revolving line of credit, accounts payable, the conversion option liability, warrant liability, term loan, and senior secured convertible notes. The carrying amounts of the revolving line of credit and term loan approximate their fair values because the interest rate on these instruments fluctuates with market interest rates. The long term note receivable and senior secured convertible notes have a fixed interest rate considered to be at market rates and therefore the carrying value also approximates its fair value. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
	The fair values of the conversion option and warrant liability are determined using the Black-Scholes valuation method, a “Level 3” input, based on the quoted price of our common stock, volatility based on the historical market activity of our stock, the expected life based on the remaining contractual term of the conversion option and warrants and the risk free interest rate based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury Securities with a maturity equivalent to the warrants’ and conversion options’ contractual life.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis over two to four years. In 2012, the Company accelerated the amortization of certain small business subscriber relationships as the expected useful lives of such small business subscriber relationship was truncated due to changes in the Company’s ability to bill such small business subscribers.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-lived Assets
	The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of definite life intangible and long-lived assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. In accordance with the guidance, such assets to be held are reviewed for events, or changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews related carrying values to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, management recorded impairment charges for certain capitalized software assets and intangible assets with a book value of $300,000 and $182,000, respectively, related to its Spreebird business unit. The impairment charges were due to the Company’s sale of the assets of its Spreebird business and the cessation of its Spreebird business operations. Such impairment charges are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company generates revenue when it is realizable and earned, as evidenced by click-throughs occurring on advertisers’ sponsored listings, the display of a banner advertisement, the fulfillment of subscription listing obligations, or the delivery of its SMB products to its customers or those of its channel partners. The Company enters into contracts to distribute sponsored listings and banner advertisements with our direct and indirect advertisers. Most of these contracts are short-term, do not contain multiple elements and can be cancelled at anytime. The Company’s indirect advertisers provide us with sponsored listings with bid prices (for example, what their advertisers are willing to pay for each click-through on those listings). The Company recognizes its portion of the bid price based upon our contractual agreement. Sponsored listings and banner advertisements are included within pages that display search results, among others, in response to keyword searches performed by consumers on its Consumer Properties. Revenue is recognized when earned based on click-through and impression activity to the extent that collection is reasonably assured from credit worthy advertisers. Revenue recognized is net of estimated adjustments for traffic screening. Management has analyzed our revenue recognition and determined that our web hosting revenue is recognized net of direct costs.
	The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of sales and related costs or the net amount earned as revenue. Generally, when the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or has several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded at the gross sales price. The Company generally records the net amounts as revenue earned if we are not primarily obligated and do not have latitude in establishing prices. Such amounts earned are determined using a fixed percentage, a fixed-payment schedule, or a combination of the two. All revenue, other than web hosting revenue, is recognized on a gross basis.
Cost of Revenues	'
	Cost of Revenues
	Cost of revenues consists of traffic acquisition costs, revenue sharing payments that the Company makes to its network partners, and other cost of revenues. Traffic acquisition costs consist primarily of campaign costs associated with driving consumers to its O&O websites, including personnel costs associated with managing traffic acquisition programs. Other cost of revenues consists of Internet connectivity costs, data center costs, amortization of certain software license fees and maintenance, depreciation of computer equipment used in providing our paid-search services, and payment processing fees (credit cards and fees for LEC billings). The Company advertises on large search engine websites such as Google, Inc. (“Google”), Yahoo!, Inc. (“Yahoo”), and Microsoft Inc./Bing (“Microsoft”), as well as other search engine websites, by bidding on certain keywords we believe will drive traffic to its O&O websites. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately 56%, of our overall traffic were purchased from other search engine websites. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, advertising costs to drive consumers to our Local.com website were $7.4 million and $26.3 million respectively. Of the total advertising cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, $5.7 million and $19.4 million were attributable to Google and $1.3 million and $5.0 million were attributable to Yahoo, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 61% and 62%, respectively, of our overall traffic were purchased from other search engine websites. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, advertising costs to drive consumers to our Local.com website were $15.2 million and $46.4 million respectively. Of the total advertising cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, $10.3 million and $32.1 million were attributable to Google and $4.3 million and $12.7 million were attributable to Yahoo, respectively.
