Accounting Policies [Abstract]

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, the collectability of accounts receivable 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.

The Company does not currently have any assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, cash equivalents, 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 first quarter of 2013, certain intangible assets acquired were measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as described in Note 4. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded these assets as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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.

Interest income on investments was $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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. Included within accounts receivables are unbilled accounts receivable, which relate to situations in which the Company has recognized revenue prior to invoicing a customer, but for which we have the legal right to invoice the customer. Unbilled accounts receivables are invoiced in the following period.

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.

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. The Company has 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 the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 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:



	Useful Lives (Years)
Acquired methodologies/technology	3 to 10
Customer relationships	3 to 12
Panel	7
Intellectual property	7 to 13
Trade names	2 to 10

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. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.3 million related to certain intangible assets as described in Note 6. There were no impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2011.

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 $0.1 million, $0.7 million, and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The losses are the result of transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

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. Sales taxes remitted to government authorities are recorded on a net basis.

Revenues are also generated through survey services under contracts ranging in term from two months to 1 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. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with 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. 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. 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.

Multiple contracts with a single counterparty that are negotiated simultaneously and are considered contemporaneous are accounted for as one arrangement. If there are multiple contracts with one counterparty that are deemed independent of one another, they are accounted for as separate arrangements.

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, using either the percentage-of-completion or the completed-contract method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, the Company uses the input method to measure progress, which is based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs at completion. The percentage-of-completion method is used when reliable estimates of progress and completion under the contract can be made. Under the completed-contract method, 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. The completed-contract method is used when reliable estimates cannot be made or other terms under the contract require it. To the extent estimated costs are expected to exceed revenue, the Company accrues for costs immediately. The Company considers a contract to be completed when all performance obligations have been delivered and the customer provides formal acceptance in the form of a "User Acceptance Testing" certificate and the Company applies this policy on a consistent basis. 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 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. For the remainder of the Nexius customers, we currently do not have VSOE for the multiple deliverables and account for all elements in these arrangements as a single unit of accounting, recognizing the entire arrangement fee as revenue over the service period of the last delivered element.

The Company accounts for nonmonetary transactions under ASC 845, Nonmonetary Transactions. Nonmonetary transactions with commercial substance are recorded at the estimated fair value of assets surrendered including cash, if cash is less than 25% of the fair value of the overall exchange, unless the fair value of the assets received is more clearly evident, in which case the fair value of the asset received is used to estimate fair value for the exchange.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to exchange certain data assets with a corporation. A member of the Company’s Board of Directors also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of that corporation and therefore, we have considered the corporation to be a related party. The transaction was considered to have commercial substance under the guidance in ASC 845 and the Company estimated the fair value of the services delivered based on similar monetary transactions with third parties. No cash was exchanged in this transaction. The Company also considered the guidance in ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures.

During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company recognized $3.2 million in revenue related to nonmonetary transactions of which $1.8 million is attributable to this related party transaction. Due to timing differences in the delivery and receipt of the respective nonmonetary assets exchanged, the expense recognized in each period is different from the amount of revenue recognized. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $1.8 million in expense related to nonmonetary transactions, though no expense was recognized for this related party transaction since data assets have not yet been received.

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, 2013, 2012 and 2011, one customer, Microsoft Corporation, accounted for approximately 7%, 8% and 10%, respectively, of total revenues. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable.

Advertising Costs

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense includes costs associated with direct marketing but does not include the cost of attendance at events or trade shows. Advertising expense, which is included in sales and marketing expense, totaled $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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 Company uses the two-class method for earning allocations between the Company's restricted stock awards, as they are a participating security, and the Company's common stock. The dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock of 688,659, 1,547,077 and 627,147 were not included in the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Pronouncements

In July 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Exists. This update requires unrecognized tax benefits to be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward in certain situations. This update was created due to the diversity in practice in presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in those instances. Some entities present unrecognized tax benefits as a liability unless the unrecognized tax benefit is directly associated with a tax position taken in a tax year that results in, or resulted in, the recognition of a net operating loss or tax credit carryforward for that year and the net operating loss or tax credit carryforward for that year has not been utilized. Other entities present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss or tax credit carryforward in certain circumstances. The objective of this update is to eliminate this diversity in practice. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not believe that this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Business Combinations	12 Months Ended
Business Combinations	Dec. 31, 2013
Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combinations	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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 there were no transaction related costs. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were $0.7 million of transaction related costs included in general and administrative expenses. 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 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 1.5 years, respectively. 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.

Asset Disposition

Asset Disposition Table [Abstract]

Asset Disposition

On March 18, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary RSC The Quality Measurement Company (also known as ARSgroup), sold certain assets related to its ARS Non-Health Copy-Testing and Equity Tracking business to MSW.ARS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Buyer").

In connection with the disposition, the Company received total proceeds of $1.0 million in cash. In addition, the Company entered into a license agreement in which it will retain the right to use the necessary intellectual property to continue to provide the ARS Copy-Testing and Equity Tracking services to its Health related customers and recorded an intangible asset of $1.2 million based on the estimated fair value of the licensed intellectual property. In determining the fair value of the intangible asset, the Company prepared a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. In preparing the DCF analysis, the Company used a combination of income approaches including the relief from royalty approach and the excess earnings approach. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgments about appropriate discount rates, terminal growth rates, royalty rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in the DCF analysis were based on the Company’s most recent budgets, forecasts and business plans as well as growth rate assumptions for years beyond the current business plan period. Significant assumptions used include a discount rate of 18.5%, which is based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the future revenue streams and cash flows associated with the health related customers of ARS, as well as a royalty rate of 3.0%, which is based on an analysis of royalty rates in similar, market transactions. This intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years beginning April 1, 2013. The assets disposed of included computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, intellectual property and the intangible assets associated with the ARSgroup. Due to the fact that the Company will continue to provide the ARS Copy-Testing and Equity Tracking services to its Health related customers and has therefore not eliminated the operations and cash flows of the ARSgroup, management has concluded that the disposition does not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.

As a result of the disposition, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a gain on the Disposition of $0.2 million, determined as follows (in thousands):



Cash proceeds received at closing, net	$	160
Proceeds receivable (placed in escrow)	750
Fair value of licensed intellectual property	1,182

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The change in the carrying value of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):



Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	102,900
Goodwill allocated to ARS disposition	(289		)
Translation adjustments	703
Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	103,314

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company noted a significant decline in revenues from ARSgroup (“ARS”), which the Company acquired in February 2010. As a result, the Company performed an impairment test of the long-lived assets of ARS. The long-lived assets of ARS consist of customer relationships and acquired methodologies and technology. The first step in testing the long-lived assets of ARS for impairment was to compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of ARS to the carrying value of ARS’s long-lived assets. Based on this analysis, the Company determined as of June 30, 2012 that the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated from ARS was less than the carrying value of the ARS intangible assets. As such, the Company concluded that the ARS intangible assets were impaired as of June 30, 2012. To measure the amount of the impairment, the Company then estimated the fair value of the intangible assets as of June 30, 2012. In determining the fair value of the intangible assets, the Company prepared a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis for each intangible asset. In preparing the DCF analysis, the Company used a combination of income approaches including the relief from royalty approach and the excess earnings approach. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgments about appropriate discount rates, terminal growth rates, royalty rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The cash flows employed in the DCF analysis were based on the Company’s most recent budgets, forecasts and business plans as well as growth rate assumptions for years beyond the current business plan period. Significant assumptions used include a discount rate of 18.5%, which is based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the future revenue streams and cash flows of ARS, as well as a royalty rate of 3.0%, which is based on an analysis of royalty rates in similar, market transactions. Based on the DCF analysis, the Company estimated the fair value of the intangible assets of ARS to be $2.5 million as of June 30, 2012, which resulted in an impairment charge of $3.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. The impairment charge had a negative impact on net loss of $3.3 million and an impact on earnings per share of $0.10 per share during the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, these intangible assets are being amortized over a remaining estimated useful life of eighteen months, beginning July 1, 2012. Other than the ARS impairment, there were no events or circumstances to indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets were not recoverable. Accordingly, no additional impairment charges have been recorded.

Certain of the Company’s intangible assets are recorded in euros, British Pounds and the local currencies of our South American subsidiaries, and therefore, the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization are subject to foreign currency translation adjustments. As discussed in Note 9, the Company acquired $11.0 million in patents during 2011. The carrying values of the Company’s amortized acquired intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):



	December 31, 2013							December 31, 2012
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount

Long-term Debt and Other Financing Arrangement

Capital Leases

The Company has a lease financing arrangement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC in the amount of $10.0 million, of which the Company can utilize approximately $8.6 million as of December 31, 2013, for future capital leases. 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. Under this arrangement, the Company may enter into new capital leases prior to April 30, 2014. Some of the amounts the Company has utilized to date under this arrangement have not lowered the amount available for future capital leases, because those amounts have been assigned by Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC under separate third-party arrangements. In addition, the Company enters into capital leases under non-committed arrangements, typically directly with equipment manufacturers. Future minimum payments under capital leases with initial terms of one year or more are as follows:

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company acquired $14.4 million and $7.8 million, and $5.4 million respectively, in computer equipment through the issuance of capital leases. This non-cash investing activity has been excluded from the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 26, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with several banks (the "Lenders"). Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) is the administrative agent, and lead lender of this Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility of $100.0 million, which includes a $10.0 million sublimit for issuance of standby letters of credit, a $10 million sublimit for swing line loans and a $10.0 million sublimit for alternative currency lending. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is September 26, 2018. The Credit Agreement also contains an expansion option permitting the Company to request an increase of the credit facility up to an aggregate additional $50 million, subject to certain conditions. 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, and the repurchase of equity interests in the Company not to exceed $50 million during the five-year revolver term. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.

Base rate loans and swing line loans will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement and summarized below. The Base Rate is the highest rate of the following: (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the publicly announced Bank of America prime rate, and (c) the Eurocurrency rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement plus 1.0%. The Applicable Rate for base rate loans and swing line loans is 0.50% to 1.50% depending on the Company’s funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. Amounts supporting letters of credit bear interest at the applicable rate for revolving loans. Each Eurocurrency rate loan will bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Rate ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% depending on the Company's funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. Beginning on September 26, 2013 through the maturity date of the five-year revolver term, the Company is obligated to pay a fee, payable quarterly in arrears, based on the average unused portion of the available amounts under the Credit Agreement at a rate of 0.20% to 0.35% per annum depending on the Company’s funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter.

The Credit Agreement contains various usual and customary covenants, including, but not limited to: financial covenants requiring maximum funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio and cash flow-to-fixed charge ratios and covenants relating to the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, make certain acquisitions, be acquired, incur indebtedness, grant liens and make certain investments. As of December 31, 2013 the Company was in full compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and remains so as of the date of this report.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not have an outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement.

The Company maintains letters of credit in lieu of security deposits with respect to certain office leases as well as to satisfy performance guarantees under certain contracts. As of December 31, 2013, $4.0 million in letters of credit were outstanding, leaving $6.0 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:



	(In thousands)
2014	$	10,107
2015	10,079
2016	9,997
2017	9,766
2018	8,929
Thereafter	28,637
Total minimum lease payments	$	77,515

Total rent expense, under non-cancellable operating leases, was $8.9 million, $8.4 million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $2.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of deferred rent and capitalized assets as a result of landlord allowances in connection with its Reston, New York and London office leases. The deferred rent will be applied to rent expense recognized by the Company over the lease terms.

Contingencies

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.

In June 2013 the Company settled certain patent litigation lawsuits that we initiated against certain third-parties. The Company recognized a net gain of $1.4 million during 2013 related to these settlements.

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. In October 2012, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which, among other things, removed the claim relating to alleged violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act. The court has certified a class, with trial expected in the second quarter of 2014. It is not possible for the Company to estimate a potential range of loss at this time.

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 current matters, if any will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company recognized income tax expense of approximately $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, which is comprised of current tax expense of $0.5 million related to federal alternative minimum tax and state income tax liabilities, $1.5 million of foreign income tax expense, and deferred tax expense of approximately $2.4 million related to temporary differences between the tax treatment and financial reporting treatment for certain items. Included within the total deferred tax expense of $2.4 million is $2.3 million of deferred tax expense related to the establishment of a deferred tax liability for Subpart F income that will be recognized in a future tax year and $2.9 million of deferred tax benefit related to the release of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions, which have a statutory rate of approximately 20%.

The Company recognized income tax expense of approximately $2.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, which is comprised of current tax expense of $0.1 million related to federal alternative minimum tax and state income tax liabilities, $1.4 million of foreign income tax expense, and deferred tax expense of approximately $0.9 million related to temporary differences between the tax treatment and financial reporting treatment for certain items. Included within the total deferred tax expense of $0.9 million is $2.6 million of deferred tax expense associated with the write-off of a deferred tax asset related to certain market-based stock awards that will never be realized due to the expiration of the stock awards prior to vesting.

The Company recognized an 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, $1.1 million of foreign income tax expense, and a deferred tax benefit of approximately $4.4 million related primarily to differences between the tax treatment and financial reporting treatment for certain items, most notably the Nielsen transaction.

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, 2013 and 2012, the Company had valuation allowances of $1.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, against certain deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2013 relates to the deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries (primarily net operating loss carryforwards) that are either loss companies or are in their start-up phases, the U.S. capital loss carryforwards and certain state net operating 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.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that a portion of our deferred tax assets related to certain state and foreign net operating losses would be realized and that an increase to the valuation allowance of $0.1 million was necessary. The Company also concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that a substantial portion of our deferred tax assets in certain other foreign jurisdictions, primarily the Netherlands, would be realized and determined that it was appropriate to release valuation allowances of $2.9 million. In making that determination, the Company considered the income generated in these foreign jurisdictions during 2013, the guaranteed profit margins in place for these entities as a result of the Company’s transfer pricing model, the tax impact of the restructuring that is currently being implemented, the current overall economic environment, and the projected income of these entities in future years. In addition, during 2013, the Company wrote-off certain deferred tax assets related to net operating losses that will never be realized. As these deferred tax assets had a full valuation allowance recorded against them, the associated valuation allowance of $0.1 million was released.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company concluded that it was not more-likely-than-not that a substantial portion of its deferred tax assets related to certain state net operating losses would be realized and determined that it was appropriate to establish a valuation allowance of $0.3 million against its state deferred tax assets. 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, primarily the Netherlands, would be realized and that an increase to the valuation allowance of $1.2 million was necessary. In making that determination, the Company considered the losses incurred in these foreign jurisdictions during 2012, the current overall economic environment, and the uncertainty regarding the profitability of certain foreign operations currently in start-up phase. In addition, during 2012, the Company wrote-off certain deferred tax assets related to net operating losses that will never be realized. As these deferred tax assets had a full valuation allowance recorded against them, the associated valuation allowance of $0.2 million was released.

The following is a summary of activities in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the fiscal years indicated:



	December 31,
	2013			2012
	(In thousands)
Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance
Beginning Balance	$	(4,045	)	$	(2,741	)
Additions	(132		)	(1,511		)
Reductions	2,980			207
Ending Balance	$	(1,197	)	$	(4,045	)

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $37.2 million and $38.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $46.8 million and $43.1 million, respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2022 for federal income tax purposes and begin to expire in 2014 for state income tax purposes. At December 31, 2013, the Company had an aggregate net operating loss carryforward for tax purposes related to its foreign subsidiaries of $20.8 million, which begins to expire in 2017. In addition, at December 31, 2013, 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, 2013 and 2012 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 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 the Company utilizes 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 $32.5 million and $28.9 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized windfall tax benefits of approximately $0.1 million, related to certain state and foreign tax jurisdictions, which were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 2013 and recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital. Therefore, $0.1 million of shortfalls has not been included in income tax expense but has reduced additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2013. The remaining impact of the shortfalls totaling $0.9 million has been included in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2012, the Company recognized a portion of the windfall tax benefits and recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital. Therefore, the impact of the shortfalls totaling $0.2 million was not included in income tax expense but reduced additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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, 2013, the Company has not recorded U.S. income tax expense related to undistributed foreign earnings of approximately $6.5 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, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $1.4 million 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 changes in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 resulted from the following:



	December 31,
	2013			2012			2011
	(In thousands)
Unrecognized tax benefits beginning balance	$	1,418		$	1,386		$	2,376
Increase related to tax positions of prior years	36			69			1
Increase related to acquired tax positions recorded through purchase accounting	—			—			1
Increase related to tax positions of the current year	45			4			17
Decrease related to tax positions of prior years	(21		)	(27		)	(959		)
Decrease due to settlements	(4		)	—			(42		)
Decrease due to lapse in statutes of limitations	(31		)	(14		)	(8		)
Unrecognized tax benefits ending balance	$	1,443		$	1,418		$	1,386

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amount of accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits was $0.7 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 2010 or state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009, although tax attribute carryforwards generated prior to these years may still be adjusted upon examination by tax authorities.

Stockholders' Equity

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2013

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ Equity

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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Plans provided for the issuance of a maximum of approximately 9.9 million shares and 8.5 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, 2013, the shares available for grant increased by 1,427,177 pursuant to the automatic share reserve increase provision under the Plans. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2013, a total of 3,066,148 shares were available for future grant under the 2007 Plan.

The Company determines the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and a single option award approach. 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 our common stock on the date of grant. 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.

A summary of the Plans is presented below:



	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Options outstanding at December 31, 2012	90,552		$	4.38	2.99	$	851
Options granted	—		$	—	—	—
Options exercised	(52,063	)	$	4.37	—	$	1,028
Options forfeited	—		$	—	—	—
Options expired	(255	)	$	9.73	—	—
Options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2013	38,234		$	4.37	2.09	$	927

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company granted 210,000 time-based restricted stock awards to the Company's Chief Executive Officer that vest ratably over three years and 380,000 time-based restricted stock awards to members of executive management that vest ratably over four years. In addition, the Company granted its Chief Executive Officer 580,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the form of restricted stock and restricted stock units (the “Performance Award”). The Performance Award represents the maximum number of shares that can vest over a three year period. The Performance Awards vested and will vest based on achievement of revenue and adjusted EBITDA goals during 2012, 2013 and 2014, with the revenue and adjusted EBITDA milestones each carrying a 50% weight. Assuming achievement of 100% of the target performance metrics in each case over a three-year period, the Chief Executive Officer would be eligible to vest in 290,000 total shares, and in any given year 96,666 shares. Assuming achievement of 200% of the target performance metrics in each case over a three-year period, the maximum number permitted under the arrangement, the Chief Executive Officer would be eligible to vest in 580,000 total shares, and in any given year, 193,334 shares. During the year ended December 31, 2013, no stock options were granted.

A summary of the Plans is presented below:



	Number of shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price
Options outstanding December 31, 2010	1,713,165		$	11.68
Options granted	—		—

Options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2013	38,234		$	4.37

The following table summarizes information about options outstanding at December 31, 2013:



	Options Outstanding and Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices	Options Outstanding and Exercisable	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)
$0.25 - $4.25	16,482	$	2.70	1.63
$4.26 - $7.50	17,248	$	4.74	2.14
$7.51 - $13.66	4,504	$	9.05	3.57
	38,234	$	4.37	2.09

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, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $1.0 million, $5.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value for all options outstanding and exercisable under the Company’s stock plans as of December 31, 2013 was $0.9 million. The weighted average remaining contractual life for all options outstanding and exercisable under the Company’s stock plans as of December 31, 2013 was 2.09 years. As of December 31, 2013, there is no unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date.

Our nonvested stock awards are comprised of restricted stock and restricted stock units. The restricted stock only represents participating securities. 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, 2013, 206,360 shares of restricted stock were forfeited and were subsequently retired. A summary of the status for nonvested stock awards as of December 31, 2013 is presented as follows:



Nonvested Stock Awards	Restricted Stock		Restricted Stock Units		Number of Shares Underlying Awards		Weighted Average Grant- Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2010	1,591,522		405,071		1,996,593		$	15.43
