As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $4.3 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to certain acquired net operating loss carryforwards of its subsidiary WeddingChannel.com, Inc. (“WeddingChannel.com”) arising from a tax position taken in the 2006 income tax filings related to losses associated with the dissolution of a subsidiary. This amount has been netted against the related deferred tax assets and, if recognized, would be reported as a reduction of income tax expense. However, a portion of these unrecognized tax benefits could be subject to a valuation allowance if and when recognized in a future period.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state and local jurisdictions. In December 2007, the Internal Revenue Service completed its audit of the Company’s 2005 U.S. federal tax return with no adjustment. On June 17, 2009, the Company received notification that its New York State franchise tax returns would be audited for the year ended December 31, 2005. As of September 30, 2011, none of the Company’s other tax returns have been examined by any income taxing authority. As a result of the ongoing use of tax loss carryforwards, all of the Company’s U.S. federal tax returns from 1998 through 2006, its more significant state and local returns, as well as all tax returns of WeddingChannel remain subject to examination.
