Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

| Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company consolidates investments where it has a controlling financial interest. The usual condition for controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority of the voting interest and, therefore, as a general rule, ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares is a condition indicating consolidation. For investments in variable interest entities, the Company would consolidate when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company does not have any variable interest entities. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions are inherent in the analysis and the measurement of deferred tax assets, the identification and quantification of income tax liabilities due to uncertain tax positions, valuation of marketable securities, recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and goodwill, accruals related to outstanding litigation, and the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements The Company evaluates the fair value of certain assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company applies the three-tier value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 — observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 — inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; Level 3 — unobservable inputs of which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. Cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, deferred rent and capital lease obligations reported in the consolidated balance sheets equal or approximate their respective fair values. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include fixed assets, intangible assets and goodwill. The Company recognizes these items at fair value when they are considered to be impaired. During the three years ended December 31, 2011, there were no fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposit accounts. Investments, which consisted principally of auction rate securities as of December 31, 2010, were stated at fair value. These securities were accounted for as available-for-sale securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities were excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until they were realized. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income. The Company used the specific identification method to compute realized gains and losses on its investments. The Company recorded a realized gain of $0.2 million on the sale of all of its available-for-sale securities in 2011. Interest income on investments was $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are non-interest bearing. The Company generally grants uncollateralized credit terms to its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. Allowances are based on management's judgment, which considers historical experience and specific knowledge of accounts where collectability may not be probable. The Company makes provisions based on historical bad debt experience, a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices and an assessment of general economic conditions. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
The following is a summary of activities in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the fiscal years indicated:
Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Assets under capital leases are recorded at their net present value at the inception of the lease and are included in the appropriate asset category. Assets under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the related lease terms or their useful lives. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included within the expense category in which the asset is deployed. Business Combinations The Company recognizes all of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred. Generally, restructuring costs incurred in periods subsequent to the acquisition date are expensed when incurred. Subsequent changes to the purchase price (i.e., working capital adjustments) or other fair value adjustments determined during the measurement period are recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. All subsequent changes to an income tax valuation allowance or uncertain tax position that relate to the acquired company and existed at the acquisition date that occur both within the measurement period and as a result of facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date are recognized as an adjustment to goodwill. All other changes in income tax valuation allowances are recognized as a reduction or increase to income tax expense or as a direct adjustment to additional paid-in capital as required. Acquired in-process research and development is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed when a business is acquired. The allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets and goodwill involves the extensive use of management's estimates and assumptions, and the result of the allocation process can have a significant impact on future operating results. The allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets is done at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired using various valuation methods, including the excess earnings and relief from royalty methods. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives while goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for potential impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill recorded by the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, impairment is measured by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value, and any impairment determined is recorded in the current period. All of the Company's goodwill is associated with one reporting unit. Accordingly, on an annual basis the Company performs the impairment assessment for goodwill at the enterprise level. The Company completed its annual impairment analysis as of October 1st for each of 2011, 2010 and 2009 and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company's long-lived assets primarily consist of property and equipment and intangible assets. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If an indication of impairment is present, the Company compares the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by the asset to its carrying amount. Recoverability measurement and estimation of undiscounted cash flows are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset group's carrying amount over its fair value. The fair value is determined based on valuation techniques such as a comparison to fair values of similar assets or using a discounted cash flow analysis. Although the Company believes that the carrying values of its long-lived assets are appropriately stated, changes in strategy or market conditions or significant technological developments could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded asset balances. There were no impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Lease Accounting The Company leases its facilities and accounts for those leases as operating leases. For facility leases that contain rent escalations or rent concession provisions, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company records the difference between the rent paid and the straight-line rent as a deferred rent liability. Leasehold improvements funded by landlord incentives or allowances are recorded as leasehold improvement assets and a deferred rent liability which is amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the lease. The Company records capital leases as an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments as determined at the beginning of the lease term. Amortization of capitalized leased assets is computed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included in depreciation and amortization expense. Foreign Currency The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. All assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate as of the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. The gain or loss resulting from the process of translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars is reflected as foreign currency cumulative translation adjustment and reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.
The Company incurred foreign currency transaction losses of $0.4 million, $0.3 million, and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The losses are the result of transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The following summary sets forth the components of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, in stockholders' equity:
Operating Segment Information The Company has concluded that it has one operating segment based on the fact that its Chief Executive Officer, who is also its chief operating decision maker, continues to evaluate performance and make operating decisions based on consolidated financial data. Additionally, there are no managers who are held accountable by the chief operating decision maker, or anyone else, for an operating measure of profit or loss for any operating unit below the consolidated unit level. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenues by providing access to the Company's online database or delivering information obtained from the database, usually in the form of periodic reports. Revenues are typically recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which access to data or reports is provided, which generally ranges from three to twenty four months. Revenues are also generated through survey services under contracts ranging in term from two months to one year. Survey services consist of survey and questionnaire design with subsequent data collection, analysis and reporting. At the outset of an arrangement, total arrangement consideration is allocated between the development of the survey questionnaire and subsequent data collection, analysis and reporting services based on relative selling price. Revenue allocated to the survey questionnaire is recognized when it is delivered and revenue allocated to the data collection, analysis and reporting services is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated data collection period once the survey or questionnaire design has been delivered. Any change in the estimated data collection period results in an adjustment to revenues recognized in future periods. Certain of the Company's arrangements contain multiple elements, consisting of the various services the Company offers. Multiple element arrangements typically consist of either subscriptions to multiple online product solutions or a subscription to the Company's online database combined with customized services. Historically, the Company had determined there was not objective and reliable evidence of fair value for any of its services and, therefore, accounted for all elements in multiple element arrangements as a single unit of accounting. Access to data under the subscription element is generally provided shortly after the execution of the contract. However, the initial delivery of customized services generally occurs subsequent to the commencement of the subscription element. For these historical arrangements, the Company recognizes the entire arrangement fee over the performance period of the last deliverable. As a result, the total arrangement fee is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period beginning with the commencement of the last element delivered. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which requires the Company to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables, if they represent a separate unit of accounting, based on their relative selling prices. In addition, this guidance eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement consideration. This guidance is applicable to the Company for all arrangements entered into subsequent to December 31, 2010 and for any existing arrangements that are materially modified after December 31, 2010. For these types of arrangements, the guidance establishes a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating arrangement consideration to deliverables: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE"), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or (iii) an estimated selling price ("ESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE are available. VSOE generally exists only when the Company sells the deliverable separately and is the price actually charged by the Company for that deliverable on a stand-alone basis. ESP reflects the Company's estimate of what the selling price of a deliverable would be if it was sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. The Company has concluded it does not have VSOE, for these types of arrangements, and TPE is generally not available because the Company's service offerings are highly differentiated and the Company is unable to obtain reliable information on the products and pricing practices of the Company's competitors. As such, ESP is used to allocate the total arrangement consideration at the arrangement inception based on each element's relative selling price. The Company's process for determining ESP involves management's judgments based on multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each product suite and deliverable. The Company determines ESP by considering several external and internal factors including, but not limited to, current pricing practices, pricing concentrations (such as industry, channel, customer class or geography), internal costs and market penetration of a product or service. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each of the elements based on the relative selling price. If the ESP is determined as a range of selling prices, the mid-point of the range is used in the relative-selling-price method. Once the total arrangement consideration has been allocated to each deliverable based on the relative allocation of the arrangement fee, the Company commences revenue recognition for each deliverable on a stand-alone basis as the data or service is delivered. The impact of adopting this new revenue recognition guidance, including arrangements that were materially modified, during the year ended December 31, 2011 is that the Company recognized approximately $6.2 million in revenue and expenses of approximately $1.4 million that otherwise would have been recognized in future periods under the previous revenue recognition guidance. Based on the amounts involved, the timing of when this revenue would have been recognized under the previous revenue recognition rules, and the current backlog of arrangements, the Company believes the adoption of this accounting guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. ESP will be analyzed on an annual basis or more frequently if management deems it likely that changes in the estimated selling prices have occurred. Generally, contracts are non-refundable and non-cancelable. In the event a portion of a contract is refundable, revenue recognition is delayed until the refund provisions lapse. A limited number of customers have the right to cancel their contracts by providing a written notice of cancellation. In the event that a customer cancels its contract, the customer is not entitled to a refund for prior services, and will be charged for costs incurred plus services performed up to the cancellation date. Advance payments are recorded as deferred revenues until services are delivered or obligations are met and revenue can be recognized. Deferred revenues represent the excess of amounts invoiced over amounts recognized as revenues.
On July 1, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of Nexius, resulting in additional revenue sources, including software licenses, professional services (including software customization, implementation, training and consulting services), and maintenance and technical support contracts. The Company's arrangements generally contain multiple elements, consisting of the various service offerings. The Company recognizes software license arrangements that include significant modification and customization of the software in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 985-605, Software Recognition, and ASC 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, typically using the completed-contract method. Prior to March 31, 2011, the Company had not established VSOE of fair value for the multiple deliverables and therefore accounted for all elements in these arrangements as a single unit of accounting, recognizing the entire arrangement fee as revenue on a straight line basis over the service period of the last delivered element. During the period of performance, billings and costs (to the extent they are recoverable) are accumulated on the balance sheet, but no profit or income is recorded before user acceptance of the software license. To the extent estimated costs are expected to exceed revenue, the Company accrues for costs immediately. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011 the Company established VSOE of fair value for post contract support ("PCS") services for a group of certain Nexius customers. The establishment of VSOE of fair value followed an alignment of the Company's pricing practices for these services. As a result of establishing VSOE, the Company, for the year ended December 31, 2011, recorded revenue and related costs of revenue of $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of which $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, had been previously deferred. Costs of Revenues Cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses related to the operating network infrastructure and the recruitment, maintenance and support of consumer panels. Expenses associated with these areas include the salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits and related expenses of network operations, survey operations, custom analytics and technical support departments, and are expensed as they are incurred. Cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses related to the operating network infrastructure and the recruitment, maintenance and support of consumer panels. Expenses associated with these areas include the salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits and related expenses of network operations, survey operations, custom analytics and technical support departments. Cost of revenues also includes data collection costs for the products and operational costs associated with the Company's data centers, including depreciation expense associated with computer equipment that supports its panel and systems, and allocated overhead, which is comprised of rent and depreciation expense generated by general purpose equipment and software. Deferred contract costs represents incremental direct costs paid to a third party and the internal costs of employees directly related to the delivery of an item that cannot be accounted for separately from the undelivered items for certain of the Company's significantly customized software sales or other long-term in nature projects. These costs are recognized as cost of revenues ratably over the same period that deferred revenue is recognized as revenues. The Company analyzes the recoverability of these costs each reporting period. Selling and Marketing Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits, commissions and bonuses paid to the direct sales force and industry analysts, as well as costs related to online and offline advertising, product management, seminars, promotional materials, public relations, other sales and marketing programs, and allocated overhead, including rent and other facilities related costs, and depreciation. All selling and marketing costs are expensed as they are incurred. Research and Development Research and development expenses include new product development costs, consisting primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits and related costs for personnel associated with research and development activities, and allocated overhead, including rent and other facilities related costs, and depreciation.
General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits and related expenses for executive management, finance, accounting, human capital, legal, information technology and other administrative functions, as well as professional fees, overhead, including allocated rent and other facilities related costs, and depreciation and expenses incurred for other general corporate purposes. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions that at times exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company reduces this risk by maintaining such deposits with high quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy . With respect to accounts receivable, credit risk is mitigated by the Company's ongoing credit evaluation of its customers' financial condition. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, one customer, Microsoft Corporation, accounted for approximately 10%, 11% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable. Advertising Costs All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which is included in sales and marketing expense, totaled $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company estimates the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options with only service conditions is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of market-based stock options and restricted stock units is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation embedded in a lattice model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The determination of the fair value of the Company's stock option awards and restricted stock awards is based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the Company's common stock price, expected stock price volatility over the expected life of awards, and actual and projected exercise behavior. Additionally, the Company has estimated forfeitures for share-based awards at the dates of grant based on historical experience, adjusted for future expectation. The forfeiture estimate is revised as necessary if actual forfeitures differ from these estimates. The Company issues restricted stock awards where restrictions lapse upon the passage of time (service vesting), achieving performance targets, or some combination of these restrictions. For those restricted stock awards with only service conditions, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the explicit service period. For awards with both performance and service conditions, the Company starts recognizing compensation cost over the remaining service period, when it is probable the performance condition will be met. For stock awards that contain performance or market vesting conditions, the Company excludes these awards from diluted earnings per share computations until the contingency is met as of the end of that reporting period. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income, expense and credit items for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes. Such deferred income taxes primarily relate to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in which deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
The Company records a valuation allowance when it determines, based on available positive and negative evidence, that it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company determines the realizability of its deferred tax assets primarily based on the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and projections of future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards). In evaluating such projections, the Company considers its history of profitability, the competitive environment, the overall outlook for the online marketing industry and general economic conditions. In addition, the Company considers the timeframe over which it would take to utilize the deferred tax assets prior to their expiration. For certain tax positions, the Company uses a more-likely-than-not threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefits determined on a cumulative probability basis, which are more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Earnings Per Share Basic net (loss) income per common share excludes dilution for potential common stock issuances and is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted earnings per share assumes the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share:
The dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units of 627,147, 802,665 and 81,629 were not included in the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the dilutive effect of the shares of common stock warrants were not included in the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Recent Pronouncements In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess certain qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it's carrying amount. If, after performing a qualitative assessment, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then performing the two-step impairment test outlined in the guidance is unnecessary. However, if the entity concludes otherwise, then it must perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for comScore beginning on January 1, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2011-08 will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

| Business Combinations |
The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business combination date, its estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. The Company records adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in its operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $0.7 million and $2.6 million of transaction related costs are included in general and administrative expenses. 2009 Acquisitions Certifica On November 11, 2009, the Company completed its acquisition of Certifica, a leading analyst of Internet traffic measurement in Latin America (the "Certifica Acquisition"). The Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Certifica in a cash transaction. The Certifica Acquisition resulted in goodwill of approximately $1.9 million. This amount represents the residual amount of the total purchase price after allocation to net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Included in the total net assets acquired was approximately $0.7 million in liabilities related to uncertain tax positions. The amount recorded for goodwill is consistent with the Company's intentions for the acquisition of Certifica. The Company acquired Certifica to strengthen its presence in the Latin America region and enable the Company to offer hybrid measurement as part of its Media Metrix 360 initiative using the same state-of-the-art measurement technologies the Company uses elsewhere in the world. Definite-lived intangible assets of $1.2 million consist of the value assigned to Certifica's customer relationships, trade name and its core technology of $0.9 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million respectively. The useful lives range from two to seven years (see Note 2). The Company has finalized its purchase accounting for Certifica. The Company has included the financial results of Certifica in its consolidated financial statements beginning November 11, 2009. Included in revenue for the period from November 11, 2009 to December 31, 2009 was $0.2 million related to Certifica. 2010 Acquisitions ARSgroup On February 19, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of ARSgroup ("ARS"), a leading technology-driven market research firm that measures the persuasion of advertising on TV and multi-media platforms(the "ARS Acquisition"). The Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of ARS in a cash transaction.
The ARS Acquisition resulted in goodwill of approximately $8.1 million. This amount represents the residual amount of the total purchase price of $17.7 million after allocation to net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The amount recorded for goodwill is consistent with the Company's intentions for the acquisition of ARS. The Company acquired ARS to provide it with technology-driven market research capabilities for measuring the effectiveness of advertising creative content. The additional resources will allow the Company to create new products and tools for designing and measuring more effective advertising on TV, online, and cross media campaigns. Definite-lived intangible assets of $9.5 million consist of the value assigned to ARS's methodology and database, customer relationships and trade name of $4.1 million, $4.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The useful lives range from two to ten years (see Note 2). ARS made an Internal Revenue Code section 338(h)(10) election with respect to the acquisition transaction. With such an election, the Company has fair market value basis in the ARS assets and liabilities for both income tax and financial reporting purposes and no opening deferred tax balances. The Company finalized the accounting for the ARS Acquisition in the first quarter of 2011. The Company has included the financial results of ARS in its consolidated financial statements beginning February 19, 2010. Included in revenue for the period February 19, 2010 to December 31, 2010 was $18.1 million related to ARS. Nexius, Inc. On July 1, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of Nexius, a leading a provider of carrier-grade mobile network analysis and intelligence solutions (the "Nexius Acquisition"). The aggregate amount of the consideration paid by the Company upon the closing of the transaction was $20.9 million, of which approximately $3.0 million was paid in cash to satisfy certain of Nexius's existing debt obligations. Following payment of transaction expenses, the remaining estimated merger consideration of $15.3 million in cash and an aggregate of 158,070 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $2.6 million was paid to the Nexius shareholders and holders of certain Nexius equity rights. The Nexius Acquisition resulted in a preliminary estimate of goodwill of approximately $14.0 million. This amount represents the residual amount of the total purchase price after allocation to net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The amount recorded for goodwill is consistent with the Company's intentions for the acquisition of Nexius. The Company finalized the accounting for the Nexius Acquisition in the second quarter of 2011. An additional $0.7 million was recorded to goodwill related to the final calculation of opening working capital and tax adjustments of Nexius, Inc. The Company acquired Nexius to solidify it as a leader in the mobile category. The Company has included the financial results of Nexius in its consolidated financial statements beginning July 1, 2010. Included in revenue for the period from July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 was $3.4 million related to Nexius. Definite-lived intangible assets of $17.1 million consist of the value assigned to Nexius's customer relationships, core technology and trade name of $14.5 million, $1.6 million and $1.0 million respectively. The useful lives range from two to twelve years (see Note 2). In connection with the purchase price allocation, the estimated fair value of the deferred revenue assumed from Nexius in connection with the Nexius Acquisition was determined utilizing a cost build-up approach. The present value of the sum of the costs and operating profit approximates the amount that the Company would be required to pay a third party to assume the obligations. The estimated costs to fulfill the obligation were based on the historical direct costs related to providing the services.
Nedstat B.V. On August 31, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of Nedstat, a leading provider of technology that helps web sites, particularly publishers and video companies, analyze the behavior of their users with powerful analytic tools (the "Nedstat Acquisition").
The aggregate amount of the consideration paid by the Company upon the closing of the transaction was approximately $34.4 million in cash and an aggregate of 58,045 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $1.1 million was issued to two key shareholders of Nedstat. The Nedstat Acquisition resulted in a preliminary estimate of goodwill of approximately $21.0 million. This amount represents the residual amount of the total purchase price after allocation to net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The amount recorded for goodwill is consistent with the Company's intentions for the acquisition of Nedstat. During the second quarter of 2011 the Company recorded an additional $0.1 million in goodwill associated with an adjustment to the fair value of acquired deferred revenue related to the acquisition of Nedstat B.V. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company finalized its purchase accounting for the acquisition of Nedstat B.V., and no additional adjustments were recorded. The Company acquired Nedstat to help transform the Company into a broad based "Digital Business Analytics company" and solidify its Unified Digital Measurement platform. The Company has included the financial results of Nedstat in its consolidated financial statements beginning September 1, 2010. Included in revenue for the period from August 31, 2010 to December 31, 2010 was $3.6 million related to Nedstat. Definite-lived intangible assets of $18.7 million consist of the value assigned to Nedstat's customer relationships, core technology and trade name of $15.3 million, $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The useful lives range from two to seven years (see Note 2). In connection with the purchase price allocation, the estimated fair value of the deferred revenue assumed from Nedstat in connection with the Nedstat Acquisition was determined utilizing a cost build-up approach. The cost build-up approach determines fair value by estimating the costs relating to fulfilling the assumed contractual obligations plus a market profit margin. The present value of the sum of the costs and operating profit approximates the amount that the Company would be required to pay a third party to assume the obligations. The estimated costs to fulfill the obligation were based on the historical direct costs related to providing the services. 2011 Acquisitions AdXpose, Inc. On August 11, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of AdXpose, Inc. ("AdXpose"). AdXpose provides advertisers and publishers with greater transparency in the quality, safety, and performance of their digital advertising campaigns by allowing them to verify and optimize billions of campaign data points captured in real-time. The aggregate amount of the consideration paid by the Company upon the closing of the transaction was $19.4 million. Of the $19.4 million, $4.4 million was paid in cash and an aggregate of 982,285 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $15.0 million on the acquisition date was issued to the AdXpose stockholders. The acquisition of AdXpose resulted in a preliminary estimate of goodwill of approximately $16.0 million, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. This amount represents the residual amount of the total purchase price after allocation to net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The amount recorded as goodwill is consistent with the Company's intentions for the acquisition of AdXpose. The Company acquired AdXpose to enhance its capabilities in the marketplace for highly effective advertising campaign measurement. Definite-lived intangible assets of $0.9 million consist of the value assigned to AdXpose's developed technology, customer relationships, and trade name of $0.7 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. These intangible assets have been assigned useful lives of five, three and one and a half years, respectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the opening balance sheet for deferred tax related items and may continue to adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation after obtaining more information about deferred tax assets acquired and deferred tax liabilities assumed. The Company has included the financial results of AdXpose in its consolidated financial statements beginning August 11, 2011. Included in revenue for the period from August 11, 2011 to December 31, 2011 was $1.5 million related to AdXpose.
The preliminary purchase price is allocated as follows (in thousands):

| Long-Term Debt And Other Financing Arrangements |
Capital Leases The Company has a lease financing arrangement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC in the amount of $15.0 million. This arrangement allows the Company to lease new software, hardware and other computer equipment as it expands its technology infrastructure in support of its business growth. This arrangement expires December 31, 2012. Future minimum payments under capital leases with initial terms of one year or more are as follows:
Secured Revolving Credit Facility On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into a secured credit and security agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America") for a two-year, $50.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The agreement includes a maximum $7.0 million sublimit for a euro loan facility and a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is June 30, 2013. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be used towards working capital and other general corporate purposes as well as for the issuance of letters of credit. Loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a fluctuating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus an applicable margin, which will range from 1.75% to 2.75%, based on the Company's funded debt ratio. The Company and each of the Company's material, wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Security Agreement in favor of Bank of America (the "Security Agreement"). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets.
Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is restricted from paying dividends and incurring certain indebtedness, among other restrictive covenants. The Company continues to be in full compliance with all covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2011 and February [21], 2012, no amounts are outstanding under the terms of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. The Company maintains letters of credit in lieu of security deposits with respect to certain office leases. As of December 31, 2011, $2.8 million in letters of credit were outstanding, leaving $7.2 million available for additional letters of credit. These letters of credit may be reduced periodically provided the Company meets the conditional criteria of each related lease agreement. |

| Commitments And Contingencies |
Leases In addition to equipment financed through capital leases, the Company is obligated under various noncancelable operating leases for office facilities and equipment. These leases generally provide for renewal options and escalation increases. Future minimum payments under noncancelable lease agreements with initial terms of one year or more are as follows:
Total rent expense, under non-cancellable operating leases, was $6.7 million, $5.6 million and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of deferred rent and capitalized assets as a result of landlord allowances in connection with its Reston and Toronto office leases. The deferred rent will be applied to rent expense recognized by the Company over the lease terms. Contingencies On March 16, 2011, the Company received notice that The Nielsen Company (US) LLC ("Nielsen") filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia alleging, among other things, infringement by the Company of certain patent rights of Nielsen. Nielsen's complaint sought unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On March 22, 2011, the Company filed a lawsuit against Nielsen and Netratings, LLC d/b/a Nielsen Online ("Netratings") in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia alleging infringement of certain patent rights of the Company by Nielsen and Netratings. The Company's complaint sought unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On December 20, 2011, the Company entered into a Patent Purchase, License and Settlement Agreement (the "Patent Purchase Agreement") with Nielsen and NetRatings in order to resolve the Litigation. In connection with the Patent Purchase Agreement, the Company and Nielsen entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") and a Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement", and together with the Patent Purchase Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, the "Settlement Documents"). Pursuant to the Settlement Documents, and subject to retained rights by Nielsen, the Company acquired ownership of the four Nielsen families of patents asserted in litigation. The Company also granted Nielsen worldwide licenses for the families of the four patents the Company asserted in litigation. Both parties agreed not to bring any patent action against the other for the next three years. In addition, the Company issued Nielsen 974,358 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to certain restrictions. The Company performed a valuation analysis to determine the fair value of the various elements included within the Settlement Documents. The Company determined the fair value of the consideration given to Nielsen in the form of restricted common stock to be $16.2 million. The fair value of the restricted common stock was determined by factoring in an appropriate discount to the current market price associated with the one year holding period that was placed on the common stock. The discount associated with this lack of marketability was estimated based on the cost to hedge the issued shares with a put option. The put option was valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The Company then determined the fair value of the acquired patents and the litigation settlement to be $26.0 million and $12.2 million, respectively, using the relief from royalty method, which is an income approach, to determine the present value of expected future cash flows and cash flows during the period of claimed patent infringement. The fair value of the elements in the arrangement exceeded the fair value of the consideration paid. As such, the Company allocated the consideration paid to the elements based on relative fair value, resulting in $11.0 million allocated to the acquired patents and $5.2 million allocated to the litigation settlement. The $11.0 million allocated to the acquired patents will be amortized over the remaining legal life of the various patents acquired, with approximately 50% of the value being amortized through July 2018 and the other 50% being amortized through September 2024. On August 23, 2011, the Company received notice that Mike Harris and Jeff Dunstan, individually and on behalf of a class of similarly situated individuals, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, alleging, among other things, violations by the Company of the Stored Communications Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act as well as unjust enrichment. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, including statutory damages per violation and punitive damages, injunctive relief and reasonable attorneys' fees of the plaintiffs. Based on an initial review of these claims, the Company believes that they are without merit. The Company continues to investigate the claims and intends to vigorously protect and defend itself. It is not possible for the Company to estimate a potential range of loss at this time and the Company currently does not believe that a material loss has been incurred. From time to time, the Company is exposed to unasserted potential claims encountered in the normal course of business. Although the outcome of any legal proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome and resolution of these matters will not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. |

The components of (loss) income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:
Income tax (benefit) provision is comprised of the following:
A reconciliation of the statutory United States income tax rate to the effective income tax rate is as follows:
The Company recognized income tax benefit of approximately $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, which is comprised of current tax expense of $0.3 million related to federal alternative minimum tax and state income tax liabilities and $1.1 million of foreign income tax expense, and a deferred tax benefit of approximately $4.4 million related to temporary differences between the tax treatment and financial reporting treatment for certain items, most notably the Nielsen transaction. The Company recognized income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, which is comprised of current tax expense of $0.6 million related to federal alternative minimum tax and state income tax liabilities and $1.2 million of foreign income tax expense, and deferred tax benefit of approximately $1.9 million related primarily to the reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The Company recognized income tax expense of approximately $5.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2009, which is comprised of current tax expense of $0.7 million related to federal alternative minimum tax and state income tax liabilities and $0.1 million of foreign income tax expense, and deferred tax expense of approximately $5.1 million related primarily to the utilization of net operating losses during the year.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes. Significant components of the Company's net deferred income taxes are as follows:
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had valuation allowances of $2.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, against certain deferred tax assets, which consisted primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that a substantial portion of its Netherlands deferred tax assets would be realized and determined that it was appropriate to establish a valuation allowance of $1.3 million against its Netherlands deferred tax assets. In making that determination, the Company considered the losses incurred in the Netherlands during 2011 and in prior years and the uncertainty regarding the future profitability of the Netherlands operations. The Company also concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that a substantial portion of its deferred tax assets in certain other foreign jurisdictions would be realized and that an increase to the valuation allowance was necessary. In making that determination, the Company considered the losses incurred in these foreign jurisdictions during 2010, the current overall economic environment, and the uncertainty regarding the profitability of certain foreign operations currently in start-up phase. As a result, the Company recorded an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $0.4 million. As of December 31, 2010, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that a substantial portion of its UK deferred tax assets would be realized and determined that it was appropriate to release the entire valuation allowance of $2.8 million in the fourth quarter. In making that determination, the Company considered the profitability of the UK entity achieved in 2010 and prior years, coupled with the timing of the reversal of taxable temporary differences and the forecasted profitability in future years. The Company also concluded that it was not more likely than not that a substantial portion of its deferred tax assets in certain other foreign jurisdictions would be realized and that an increase to the valuation allowance was necessary. In making that determination, the Company considered the losses incurred in these foreign jurisdictions during 2010, the current overall economic environment, and the uncertainty regarding the profitability of certain foreign operations currently in start-up phase. As a result, the Company recorded an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $0.3 million. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2011 of $2.7 million relates to the deferred tax assets (primarily net operating loss carryforwards) of the foreign subsidiaries that are either loss companies or are in their start-up phases and the U.S. capital loss carryforwards. To the extent the Company determines that, based on the weight of available evidence, all or a portion of its valuation allowance is no longer necessary, the Company will recognize an income tax benefit in the period such determination is made for the reversal of the valuation allowance. If management determines that, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized, the Company may recognize income tax expense in the period such determination is made to increase the valuation allowance. It is possible that any such reduction of or addition to the Company's valuation allowance may have a material impact on the Company's results from operations. The following is a summary of activities in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the fiscal years indicated:
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $50.8 million and $36.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $51.9 million and $37.3 million, respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2022 for federal income tax purposes and begin to expire in 2013 for state income tax purposes. At December 31, 2011, the Company had an aggregate net operating loss carryforward for tax purposes related to its foreign subsidiaries of $30.6 million, which begins to expire in 2013. In addition, at December 31, 2011, the Company had alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $1.5 million which can be carried forward indefinitely and research & development credit carryforwards of $0.7 million which begin to expire in 2025. The exercise of certain stock options and the vesting of certain restricted stock awards during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 generated income tax deductions equal to the excess of the fair market value over the exercise price or grant date fair value, as applicable. The Company will not recognize a deferred tax asset with respect to the excess of tax over book stock compensation deductions until the tax deductions actually reduce our current taxes payable. As such, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax asset in the accompanying financial statements related to the additional net operating losses generated from the windfall tax deductions associated with the exercise of these stock options and the vesting of the restricted stock awards. If and when we utilize these net operating losses to reduce income taxes payable, the tax benefit will be recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the cumulative amounts of net operating losses relating to such option exercises and vesting events that have been included in the gross net operating loss carryforwards above are $26.4 million and $16.6 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized windfall tax benefits of approximately $0.2 million related to certain state tax jurisdictions, which were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, certain stock options were exercised and certain shares related to restricted stock awards vested at times when the Company's stock price was substantially lower than the fair value of those shares at the time of grant. As a result, the income tax deduction related to such shares is less than the expense previously recognized for book purposes. Such shortfalls reduce additional paid-in capital to the extent relevant windfall tax benefits have been previously recognized. As described above, the Company recognized a portion of the windfall tax benefits in 2011 and recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital. Therefore, the impact of the shortfalls totaling $0.1 million has not been included in income tax expense but has reduced additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had not yet recognized windfall tax benefits because the tax benefits had not resulted in a reduction of current taxes payable. Therefore, the impact of the shortfalls totaling $0.9 million was included in income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2010. Looking forward the Company cannot predict the stock compensation shortfall impact because of dependency upon future market price performance of our stock. Under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382, certain substantial changes in the Company's ownership may result in a limitation on the amount of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards that could be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and taxes payable. A portion of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. We do not expect that this limitation will impact our ability to utilize all of our net operating losses prior to their expiration. Additionally, despite the net operating loss carryforwards, the Company may have a future tax liability due to alternative minimum tax, foreign tax or state tax requirements. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings from its foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has not recorded U.S. income tax expense related to undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $2.6 million. For uncertain tax positions, the Company uses a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefits determined on a cumulative probability basis, which are more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. As a result, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits, which are tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions which have been or will be reflected in income tax filings that have not been recognized in the financial statements due to potential adjustments by taxing authorities in the applicable jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $1.4 million, $2.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, all of which would affect the Company's tax rate if recognized. The Company anticipates that approximately $0.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits will reverse during the next year due to the filing of related tax returns and the expiration of statutes of limitation. The net decrease in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits since the date of adoption resulted from the following:
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2011, the amount of accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits was $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2010, the amount of accrued interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits was $0.8 million. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. For income tax returns filed by the Company, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008 or state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007, although tax attribute carryforwards generated prior to these years may still be adjusted upon examination by tax authorities. |

1999 Stock Option Plan and 2007 Equity Incentive Plan Prior to the effective date of the registration statement for the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") on June 26, 2007, eligible employees and non-employees were awarded options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units pursuant to the Company's 1999 Stock Plan (the "1999 Plan"). Upon the effective date of the registration statement of the Company's IPO, the Company ceased using the 1999 Plan for the issuance of new equity awards. Upon the closing of the Company's IPO on July 2, 2007, the Company established its 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2007 Plan" and together with the 1999 Plan, the "Plans"). The 1999 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of outstanding awards granted thereunder, but no further shares are authorized for new awards under the 1999 Plan. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Plans provided for the issuance of a maximum of approximately 7.2 million shares and 5.9 million shares, respectively, of common stock. In addition, the 2007 Plan provides for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance thereunder on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2008 fiscal year, equal to the lesser of: (i) 4% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year; (ii) 1,800,000 shares; or (iii) such other amount as the Company's board of directors may determine. The vesting period of options granted under the Plans is determined by the Board of Directors, although, for service-based options the vesting has historically been generally ratably over a four-year period. Options generally expire 10 years from the date of the grant. Effective January 1, 2011, the shares available for grant increased 1,260,942 pursuant to the automatic share reserve increase provision under the Plans. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2011, a total of 2,121,449 shares were available for future grant under the 2007 Plan. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and a single option award approach. The Company then amortizes the fair value of awards expected to vest on a ratable straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the period from the grant date to the end of the vesting period. During 2011 and 2010, the Company granted market based stock options and restricted stock units. These awards are subject to market-based vesting, whereby 100% of the shares subject to the awards will vest in the event that the Company's common stock closing price exceeds an average of $30 per share for a consecutive thirty-day period prior to May 4, 2012 (the "Trigger"). 50% of the shares subject to the awards will vest upon achievement of the Trigger and the remaining 50% of the shares subject to the awards will vest on the one year anniversary of the achievement of the Trigger, subject to the employee's continued status as a service provider of the Company through such dates. During years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded compensation expense related to these market based awards of $3.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
The following are the weighted-average assumptions used in valuing the stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2010 and a discussion of the Company's assumptions. No stock options were issued during the years ended December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2009.
Dividend yield — The Company has never declared or paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Expected volatility — Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as a share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. The expected volatility is calculated based on the weekly closing price volatility of the Company's common stock for the period from its initial public offering until the grant date. Risk-free interest rate — The Company used rates on the grant date of zero-coupon government bonds with maturities over periods covering the term of the awards, converted to continuously compounded forward rates. Expected life of the options — This is the period of time that the options granted are expected to remain outstanding. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during 2010 was $18.21. No options were granted during 2011 or 2009. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were less than $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. A summary of the Plans is presented below:
The following table summarizes information about options outstanding at December 31, 2011:
The intrinsic value of exercised stock options is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the quoted market price of our common stock as of the close of the exercise date. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $3.6 million, $4.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value for all options outstanding under the Company's stock plans as of December 31, 2011 was $12.3 million. The aggregate intrinsic value for options exercisable under the Company's stock plans as of December 31, 2011 was $9.2 million. The weighted average remaining contractual life for all options outstanding and all options exercisable under the Company's stock plans as of December 31, 2011 was 3.07 years and 2.45 years, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date is estimated at $0.3 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 0.16 years. Total unrecognized compensation expense is estimated and may be increased or decreased in future periods for subsequent grants or forfeitures. Our nonvested stock awards are comprised of restricted stock and restricted stock units. The Company has a right of repurchase on such shares that lapse at a rate of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total shares awarded at each successive anniversary of the initial award date, provided that the employee continues to provide services to the Company. In the event that an employee terminates their employment with the Company, any shares that remain unvested and consequently subject to the right of repurchase shall be automatically reacquired by the Company at the original cash purchase price paid by the employee, if any. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 35,831 forfeited shares of restricted stock have been repurchased by the Company at no cost and subsequently retired. A summary of the status for nonvested stock awards as of December 31, 2011 is presented as follows:
The aggregate intrinsic value for all non-vested shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units outstanding as of December 31, 2011 was $38.5 million. The weighted average remaining contractual life for all non-vested shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units as of December 31, 2011 was 2.02 years. We granted nonvested stock awards at no cost to recipients during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. As of December 31, 2011, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock and restricted stock units was $20.7 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately 1.52 years. Total unrecognized compensation expense may be increased or decreased in future periods for subsequent grants or forfeitures. Of the 868,736 shares of the Company's restricted stock and restricted stock units vesting during the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased 289,637 shares at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.4 million pursuant to the stockholder's right under the Plans to elect to use common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations. The repurchased shares were subsequently retired. Common Stock Warrants In prior years, the Company had granted an aggregate of 403,368 warrants to purchase common stock. The common stock warrants began to expire in February 2006 through to April 2015 with exercise prices ranging from $3.00 to $24.50. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, warrants to purchase 24,375 shares of common stock were outstanding. Shares Reserved for Issuance At December 31, 2011, the Company had reserved for future issuance the following shares of common stock upon the exercise of options and warrants:
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities On December 20, 2011, in connection with the execution of the Settlement Documents, as more fully described in footnote 9, the Company issued a total of 974,358 unregistered shares of comScore common stock as consideration. On August 11, 2011, in connection with its purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of AdXpose, the Company issued a total of 982,285 unregistered shares of comScore common stock as consideration for such acquisition. On July 1, 2010, in connection with its purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of Nexius, the Company issued a total of 158,070 unregistered shares of comScore common stock as partial consideration for such acquisition. On August 31, 2010, in connection with its purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of Nedstat, the Company issued a total of 58,045 shares of common stock to two key employee shareholders of Nedstat. These shares were issued pursuant to the terms of Stock Purchase Agreements based on the purchase of such number of shares equal to 30% of such shareholders' respective consideration received in the acquisition of Nedstat by the Company.

| Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis Of Presentation And Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company consolidates investments where it has a controlling financial interest. The usual condition for controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority of the voting interest and, therefore, as a general rule, ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares is a condition indicating consolidation. For investments in variable interest entities, the Company would consolidate when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company does not have any variable interest entities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use Of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions are inherent in the analysis and the measurement of deferred tax assets, the identification and quantification of income tax liabilities due to uncertain tax positions, valuation of marketable securities, recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and goodwill, accruals related to outstanding litigation, and the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company evaluates the fair value of certain assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the Company applies the three-tier value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 — observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 — inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; Level 3 — unobservable inputs of which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. Cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, deferred rent and capital lease obligations reported in the consolidated balance sheets equal or approximate their respective fair values. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include fixed assets, intangible assets and goodwill. The Company recognizes these items at fair value when they are considered to be impaired. During the three years ended December 31, 2011, there were no fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash And Cash Equivalents And Investments | Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposit accounts. Investments, which consisted principally of auction rate securities as of December 31, 2010, were stated at fair value. These securities were accounted for as available-for-sale securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities were excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until they were realized. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income. The Company used the specific identification method to compute realized gains and losses on its investments. The Company recorded a realized gain of $0.2 million on the sale of all of its available-for-sale securities in 2011. Interest income on investments was $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are non-interest bearing. The Company generally grants uncollateralized credit terms to its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. Allowances are based on management's judgment, which considers historical experience and specific knowledge of accounts where collectability may not be probable. The Company makes provisions based on historical bad debt experience, a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices and an assessment of general economic conditions. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
The following is a summary of activities in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the fiscal years indicated:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property And Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years. Assets under capital leases are recorded at their net present value at the inception of the lease and are included in the appropriate asset category. Assets under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the related lease terms or their useful lives. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included within the expense category in which the asset is deployed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Company recognizes all of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred. Generally, restructuring costs incurred in periods subsequent to the acquisition date are expensed when incurred. Subsequent changes to the purchase price (i.e., working capital adjustments) or other fair value adjustments determined during the measurement period are recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. All subsequent changes to an income tax valuation allowance or uncertain tax position that relate to the acquired company and existed at the acquisition date that occur both within the measurement period and as a result of facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date are recognized as an adjustment to goodwill. All other changes in income tax valuation allowances are recognized as a reduction or increase to income tax expense or as a direct adjustment to additional paid-in capital as required. Acquired in-process research and development is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Goodwill And Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed when a business is acquired. The allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets and goodwill involves the extensive use of management's estimates and assumptions, and the result of the allocation process can have a significant impact on future operating results. The allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets is done at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired using various valuation methods, including the excess earnings and relief from royalty methods. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives while goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for potential impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill recorded by the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, impairment is measured by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value, and any impairment determined is recorded in the current period. All of the Company's goodwill is associated with one reporting unit. Accordingly, on an annual basis the Company performs the impairment assessment for goodwill at the enterprise level. The Company completed its annual impairment analysis as of October 1st for each of 2011, 2010 and 2009 and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company's long-lived assets primarily consist of property and equipment and intangible assets. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. If an indication of impairment is present, the Company compares the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to be generated by the asset to its carrying amount. Recoverability measurement and estimation of undiscounted cash flows are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset group's carrying amount over its fair value. The fair value is determined based on valuation techniques such as a comparison to fair values of similar assets or using a discounted cash flow analysis. Although the Company believes that the carrying values of its long-lived assets are appropriately stated, changes in strategy or market conditions or significant technological developments could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded asset balances. There were no impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lease Accounting | Lease Accounting The Company leases its facilities and accounts for those leases as operating leases. For facility leases that contain rent escalations or rent concession provisions, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company records the difference between the rent paid and the straight-line rent as a deferred rent liability. Leasehold improvements funded by landlord incentives or allowances are recorded as leasehold improvement assets and a deferred rent liability which is amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the lease. The Company records capital leases as an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments as determined at the beginning of the lease term. Amortization of capitalized leased assets is computed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included in depreciation and amortization expense. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. All assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate as of the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. The gain or loss resulting from the process of translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars is reflected as foreign currency cumulative translation adjustment and reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.
The Company incurred foreign currency transaction losses of $0.4 million, $0.3 million, and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The losses are the result of transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The following summary sets forth the components of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, in stockholders' equity:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Operating Segment Information | Operating Segment Information The Company has concluded that it has one operating segment based on the fact that its Chief Executive Officer, who is also its chief operating decision maker, continues to evaluate performance and make operating decisions based on consolidated financial data. Additionally, there are no managers who are held accountable by the chief operating decision maker, or anyone else, for an operating measure of profit or loss for any operating unit below the consolidated unit level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues when the following fundamental criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenues by providing access to the Company's online database or delivering information obtained from the database, usually in the form of periodic reports. Revenues are typically recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which access to data or reports is provided, which generally ranges from three to twenty four months. Revenues are also generated through survey services under contracts ranging in term from two months to one year. Survey services consist of survey and questionnaire design with subsequent data collection, analysis and reporting. At the outset of an arrangement, total arrangement consideration is allocated between the development of the survey questionnaire and subsequent data collection, analysis and reporting services based on relative selling price. Revenue allocated to the survey questionnaire is recognized when it is delivered and revenue allocated to the data collection, analysis and reporting services is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated data collection period once the survey or questionnaire design has been delivered. Any change in the estimated data collection period results in an adjustment to revenues recognized in future periods. Certain of the Company's arrangements contain multiple elements, consisting of the various services the Company offers. Multiple element arrangements typically consist of either subscriptions to multiple online product solutions or a subscription to the Company's online database combined with customized services. Historically, the Company had determined there was not objective and reliable evidence of fair value for any of its services and, therefore, accounted for all elements in multiple element arrangements as a single unit of accounting. Access to data under the subscription element is generally provided shortly after the execution of the contract. However, the initial delivery of customized services generally occurs subsequent to the commencement of the subscription element. For these historical arrangements, the Company recognizes the entire arrangement fee over the performance period of the last deliverable. As a result, the total arrangement fee is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period beginning with the commencement of the last element delivered. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which requires the Company to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables, if they represent a separate unit of accounting, based on their relative selling prices. In addition, this guidance eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement consideration. This guidance is applicable to the Company for all arrangements entered into subsequent to December 31, 2010 and for any existing arrangements that are materially modified after December 31, 2010. For these types of arrangements, the guidance establishes a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating arrangement consideration to deliverables: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE"), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or (iii) an estimated selling price ("ESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE are available. VSOE generally exists only when the Company sells the deliverable separately and is the price actually charged by the Company for that deliverable on a stand-alone basis. ESP reflects the Company's estimate of what the selling price of a deliverable would be if it was sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. The Company has concluded it does not have VSOE, for these types of arrangements, and TPE is generally not available because the Company's service offerings are highly differentiated and the Company is unable to obtain reliable information on the products and pricing practices of the Company's competitors. As such, ESP is used to allocate the total arrangement consideration at the arrangement inception based on each element's relative selling price. The Company's process for determining ESP involves management's judgments based on multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each product suite and deliverable. The Company determines ESP by considering several external and internal factors including, but not limited to, current pricing practices, pricing concentrations (such as industry, channel, customer class or geography), internal costs and market penetration of a product or service. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each of the elements based on the relative selling price. If the ESP is determined as a range of selling prices, the mid-point of the range is used in the relative-selling-price method. Once the total arrangement consideration has been allocated to each deliverable based on the relative allocation of the arrangement fee, the Company commences revenue recognition for each deliverable on a stand-alone basis as the data or service is delivered. The impact of adopting this new revenue recognition guidance, including arrangements that were materially modified, during the year ended December 31, 2011 is that the Company recognized approximately $6.2 million in revenue and expenses of approximately $1.4 million that otherwise would have been recognized in future periods under the previous revenue recognition guidance. Based on the amounts involved, the timing of when this revenue would have been recognized under the previous revenue recognition rules, and the current backlog of arrangements, the Company believes the adoption of this accounting guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. ESP will be analyzed on an annual basis or more frequently if management deems it likely that changes in the estimated selling prices have occurred. Generally, contracts are non-refundable and non-cancelable. In the event a portion of a contract is refundable, revenue recognition is delayed until the refund provisions lapse. A limited number of customers have the right to cancel their contracts by providing a written notice of cancellation. In the event that a customer cancels its contract, the customer is not entitled to a refund for prior services, and will be charged for costs incurred plus services performed up to the cancellation date. Advance payments are recorded as deferred revenues until services are delivered or obligations are met and revenue can be recognized. Deferred revenues represent the excess of amounts invoiced over amounts recognized as revenues.
On July 1, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of Nexius, resulting in additional revenue sources, including software licenses, professional services (including software customization, implementation, training and consulting services), and maintenance and technical support contracts. The Company's arrangements generally contain multiple elements, consisting of the various service offerings. The Company recognizes software license arrangements that include significant modification and customization of the software in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 985-605, Software Recognition, and ASC 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, typically using the completed-contract method. Prior to March 31, 2011, the Company had not established VSOE of fair value for the multiple deliverables and therefore accounted for all elements in these arrangements as a single unit of accounting, recognizing the entire arrangement fee as revenue on a straight line basis over the service period of the last delivered element. During the period of performance, billings and costs (to the extent they are recoverable) are accumulated on the balance sheet, but no profit or income is recorded before user acceptance of the software license. To the extent estimated costs are expected to exceed revenue, the Company accrues for costs immediately. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011 the Company established VSOE of fair value for post contract support ("PCS") services for a group of certain Nexius customers. The establishment of VSOE of fair value followed an alignment of the Company's pricing practices for these services. As a result of establishing VSOE, the Company, for the year ended December 31, 2011, recorded revenue and related costs of revenue of $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of which $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, had been previously deferred. |

| Costs Of Revenues | Costs of Revenues Cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses related to the operating network infrastructure and the recruitment, maintenance and support of consumer panels. Expenses associated with these areas include the salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits and related expenses of network operations, survey operations, custom analytics and technical support departments, and are expensed as they are incurred. Cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses related to the operating network infrastructure and the recruitment, maintenance and support of consumer panels. Expenses associated with these areas include the salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits and related expenses of network operations, survey operations, custom analytics and technical support departments. Cost of revenues also includes data collection costs for the products and operational costs associated with the Company's data centers, including depreciation expense associated with computer equipment that supports its panel and systems, and allocated overhead, which is comprised of rent and depreciation expense generated by general purpose equipment and software. Deferred contract costs represents incremental direct costs paid to a third party and the internal costs of employees directly related to the delivery of an item that cannot be accounted for separately from the undelivered items for certain of the Company's significantly customized software sales or other long-term in nature projects. These costs are recognized as cost of revenues ratably over the same period that deferred revenue is recognized as revenues. The Company analyzes the recoverability of these costs each reporting period. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Selling And Marketing | Selling and Marketing Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits, commissions and bonuses paid to the direct sales force and industry analysts, as well as costs related to online and offline advertising, product management, seminars, promotional materials, public relations, other sales and marketing programs, and allocated overhead, including rent and other facilities related costs, and depreciation. All selling and marketing costs are expensed as they are incurred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Research And Development | Research and Development Research and development expenses include new product development costs, consisting primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits and related costs for personnel associated with research and development activities, and allocated overhead, including rent and other facilities related costs, and depreciation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| General And Administrative | General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation, benefits and related expenses for executive management, finance, accounting, human capital, legal, information technology and other administrative functions, as well as professional fees, overhead, including allocated rent and other facilities related costs, and depreciation and expenses incurred for other general corporate purposes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentration Of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions that at times exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company reduces this risk by maintaining such deposits with high quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy . With respect to accounts receivable, credit risk is mitigated by the Company's ongoing credit evaluation of its customers' financial condition. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, one customer, Microsoft Corporation, accounted for approximately 10%, 11% and 12%, respectively, of total revenues. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which is included in sales and marketing expense, totaled $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company estimates the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options with only service conditions is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of market-based stock options and restricted stock units is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation embedded in a lattice model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The determination of the fair value of the Company's stock option awards and restricted stock awards is based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the Company's common stock price, expected stock price volatility over the expected life of awards, and actual and projected exercise behavior. Additionally, the Company has estimated forfeitures for share-based awards at the dates of grant based on historical experience, adjusted for future expectation. The forfeiture estimate is revised as necessary if actual forfeitures differ from these estimates. The Company issues restricted stock awards where restrictions lapse upon the passage of time (service vesting), achieving performance targets, or some combination of these restrictions. For those restricted stock awards with only service conditions, the Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the explicit service period. For awards with both performance and service conditions, the Company starts recognizing compensation cost over the remaining service period, when it is probable the performance condition will be met. For stock awards that contain performance or market vesting conditions, the Company excludes these awards from diluted earnings per share computations until the contingency is met as of the end of that reporting period. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income, expense and credit items for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes. Such deferred income taxes primarily relate to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in which deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
The Company records a valuation allowance when it determines, based on available positive and negative evidence, that it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company determines the realizability of its deferred tax assets primarily based on the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and projections of future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards). In evaluating such projections, the Company considers its history of profitability, the competitive environment, the overall outlook for the online marketing industry and general economic conditions. In addition, the Company considers the timeframe over which it would take to utilize the deferred tax assets prior to their expiration. For certain tax positions, the Company uses a more-likely-than-not threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefits determined on a cumulative probability basis, which are more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic net (loss) income per common share excludes dilution for potential common stock issuances and is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted earnings per share assumes the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share:
The dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units of 627,147, 802,665 and 81,629 were not included in the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the dilutive effect of the shares of common stock warrants were not included in the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. |

Investments in debt and equity securities which are categorized neither as trading securities nor held-to-maturity securities and which are intended be sold or mature within one year from the balance sheet date or the normal operating cycle, whichever is longer. Such securities are reported at fair value; unrealized gains (losses) related to Available-for-sale Securities are excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity (other comprehensive income), unless the Available-for-sale security is designated as a hedge or is determined to have had an other than temporary decline in fair value below its amortized cost basis. All or a portion of the unrealized holding gain (loss) of an Available-for-sale security that is designated as being hedged in a fair value hedge is recognized in earnings during the period of the hedge, as are other than temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis for investments in equity securities and debt securities that an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. Other than temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis for debt securities categorized as Available-for-sale that an entity does not intend to sell and for which it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis are bifurcated into credit losses and losses related to all other factors. Other than temporary declines in fair value below cost basis related to credit losses are recognized in earnings, and losses related to all other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income.
