Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on its history of operating losses, the Company has offset its net deferred tax assets by a full valuation allowance. Any reversal of the corresponding valuation allowance will generally result in a tax benefit being recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in the respective period in which the reversal occurs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $2.4 million, which primarily represented a reduction in the allowable benefit recognizable on unrealized gains on marketable securities included in other comprehensive income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized a benefit from income taxes of $4.3 million, which consists primarily of benefits on unrealized gains on marketable securities included in other comprehensive income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which primarily reflects state taxes and deferred tax liabilities attributable to the amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets.
