PART II

Item 8.    Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of IAC/InterActiveCorp

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of IAC/InterActiveCorp and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed on page 51. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of IAC/InterActiveCorp and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), IAC/InterActiveCorp's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 1, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Other

Our Other segment consists primarily of Shoebuy, a leading internet retailer of footwear and related apparel and accessories, and Tutor, an online tutoring solution which was acquired in December 2012.

Discontinued Operations

On December 1, 2010, IAC exchanged (on a tax-free basis) the stock of a wholly-owned subsidiary that held our Evite, Gifts.com and IAC Advertising Solutions businesses and $217.9 million in cash for substantially all of Liberty Media Corporation's ("Liberty") equity stake in IAC (the "Liberty Exchange"). See Note 12 for additional information related to this exchange. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2010, InstantAction ceased operations. Evite, Gifts.com, IAC Advertising Solutions and InstantAction were previously reported in IAC's former Media & Other segment.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation and Accounting for Investments

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee, but does not have a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in entities in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and

8

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

financial matters of the investee are accounted for using the cost method. The Company evaluates each cost and equity method investment for impairment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment loss if a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. Such impairment evaluations include, but are not limited to: the current business environment, including competition; going concern considerations such as financial condition and the rate at which the investee company utilizes cash and the investee company's ability to obtain additional financing to achieve its business plan; the need for changes to the investee company's existing business model due to changing business environments and its ability to successfully implement necessary changes; and comparable valuations. If the Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of a cost method investment, then the fair value of such cost method investment is not estimated, as it is impracticable to do so.

Accounting Estimates

Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to: the fair values of marketable securities and other investments; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the useful lives and recovery of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue reserves; the reserves for income tax contingencies; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered or merchandise is delivered to customers, the fee or price charged is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Deferred revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of the Company's rendering of services or delivery of merchandise.

Search & Applications

The Search & Applications segment's revenue consists principally of advertising revenue which is generated primarily through the display of paid listings in response to search queries, as well as from advertisements appearing on its destination search websites and portals and certain third party websites and the syndication of search results generated by Ask-branded destination search websites. The Company obtains the substantial majority of its paid listings from third-party providers, primarily Google Inc. ("Google"). Paid listings are priced on a price per click and when the Company delivers a user's click to a paid listing supplied by Google, Google bills the advertiser and shares a portion of its resulting paid listing fee with the Company. The Company recognizes paid listing revenue from Google when it delivers the user's click. In cases where the user's click is generated by a third party site, the Company recognizes the amount due from Google as revenue and records the revenue share obligation to the third-party site as traffic acquisition costs.

Match

Match's revenue consists primarily of subscription fee revenue generated from customers who subscribe to online personals services on Match.com and most of Match's other personals websites. Subscription fee revenue is recognized over the terms of the applicable subscriptions, which primarily range from one to six months. Deferred revenue at Match is $103.9 million and $94.9 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Match also earns revenue from online advertising, primarily from OkCupid, which was acquired in January 2011. Online advertising revenue is recognized every time an ad is displayed.

Local

HomeAdvisor's lead acceptance revenue is generated and recognized when an in-network home service professional is delivered a consumer lead. HomeAdvisor's activation revenue is generated through the enrollment and activation of a new home service professional. Activation revenue is initially deferred and recognized over 24 months. Deferred revenue at HomeAdvisor is $3.0 million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

CityGrid Media's revenue is primarily generated through the sale of local and national online advertising. There are several types of internet advertisements, and the way in which advertising revenue is earned varies among them. Depending upon the terms, revenue might be earned every time a user clicks on an ad, every time an ad is displayed, or every time a user clicks-through on the ad and takes a specified action on the destination site.

Media

Revenue of media businesses included in this segment is generated primarily through advertising, media production and subscriptions. Advertising revenue is recognized every time an ad is displayed or over the period earned, media production revenue is recognized based on delivery and acceptance and subscription fee revenue is recognized over the terms of the applicable subscriptions, which are one month or one year.

Other

Shoebuy's revenue consists of merchandise sales, reduced by incentive discounts and sales returns, and is recognized when delivery to the customer has occurred. Delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, which is on the date of shipment. Accruals for returned merchandise are based on historical experience. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as revenue. The costs associated with shipping goods to customers are recorded as cost of revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments, with maturities of less than 91 days from the date of purchase. Domestically, cash equivalents primarily consist of AAA rated money market funds. Internationally, cash equivalents primarily consist of AAA rated money market funds and time deposits.

Marketable Securities

The Company invests in certain marketable securities, which primarily consist of short-to-intermediate-term debt securities issued by investment grade corporate issuers. The Company only invests in marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity and the ability to readily convert investments into cash to fund current operations or satisfy other cash requirements as needed. From time to time, the Company may invest in marketable equity securities as part of its investment strategy. All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The specific-identification method is used to determine the cost of securities sold and the amount of unrealized gains and losses reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings.

The Company employs a methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential other-than-temporary impairments of its investments. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in current earnings and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue reserves. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the specific customer's ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the customer's industry. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. The Company also maintains allowances to reserve for potential credits issued to customers or other revenue adjustments. The amount of these reserves are based, in part, on historical experience.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Asset Category	Estimated Useful Lives
Buildings and leasehold improvements	3 to 39 Years
Computer equipment and capitalized software	2 to 3 Years
Furniture and other equipment	3 to 10 Years

The Company capitalizes certain internal use software costs including external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the software and compensation and other employee-related costs for personnel directly associated with the development of the software. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. During 2011, the Company wrote-off $4.9 million in capitalized software costs associated with the exit of the Company's direct sponsored listings business. The net book value of capitalized internal use software is $33.4 million and $29.2 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill acquired in business combinations is assigned to the reporting unit(s) that are expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying value. In 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment", which gives companies the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, no further assessment of that reporting unit's goodwill is necessary. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the goodwill must be tested using a two-step process based on prior accounting guidance, and if the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. The Company also adopted Accounting Standards Update 2012-02 "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" in 2012, which gives companies the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, the fair value of the asset does not need to be determined. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, then the indefinite-lived intangible asset must be tested based on prior accounting guidance, and if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. See Note 6 for discussion of impairment charges recorded in 2010. There are no impairment charges recorded in 2012 and 2011.

The Company's reporting units are consistent with its determination of its operating segments. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company's operating segments, reporting units and reportable segments are as follows:

Operating Segment and Reporting Unit	Reportable Segment
Search & Applications	Search & Applications
Match	Match
HomeAdvisor	Local
CityGrid Media	Local
Connected Ventures	Media
DailyBurn	Media
Shoebuy	Other
Tutor	Other

Media and Other include other operating segments that do not have goodwill. See Note 15 for additional information regarding the Company's method of determining operating and reportable segments.

The fair value of each of the Company's seven reporting units, excluding Tutor which was acquired in December 2012, exceed their carrying values by more than 20% at October 1, 2012, the date of our most recent annual impairment assessment.

11

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives

Long-lived assets, which consist of property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is deemed not to be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is computed either on a straight-line basis or based on the period in which the economic benefits of the asset will be realized.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of the Company's Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. See Note 9 for a discussion of fair value measurements made using Level 3 inputs.

The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, as well as equity and cost method investments, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs. See Note 6 for a discussion of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and Note 8 for a discussion of impairment charges related to equity and cost method investments.

Traffic Acquisition Costs

Traffic acquisition costs consist of payments made to partners who distribute our B2B customized browser-based applications, integrate our paid listings into their websites or direct traffic to our websites. These payments include amounts based on revenue share and other arrangements. The Company expenses these payments as a component of cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred (when the advertisement first runs for production costs that are initially capitalized) and represent online marketing, including fees paid to search engines and third parties that distribute our B2C downloadable applications, and offline marketing, principally television and radio advertising. Advertising expense is $779.7 million, $497.2 million and $371.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company capitalizes and amortizes the costs associated with certain distribution arrangements that require it to pay a fee per access point delivered. These access points are generally in the form of downloadable applications associated with our B2C operations. These fees are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the access points to the extent the Company can reasonably estimate a probable future economic benefit and the period over which such benefit will be realized (generally 18 months). Otherwise, the fees are charged to expense as incurred.

Legal Costs

Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and

12

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest, net of any applicable related income tax benefit, on potential income tax contingencies as a component of income tax expense.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to IAC shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vested resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses

The financial position and operating results of substantially all foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and local currency revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses resulting from assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statement of operations as a component of other (expense) income, net.

Translation gains and losses relating to foreign entities that are liquidated or substantially liquidated are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. Such gains totaled $9.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, and are included in "Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is generally expensed over the requisite service period. See Note 14 for a further description of the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

In connection with the acquisition of certain subsidiaries, management of these businesses has retained an ownership interest. The Company is party to fair value put and call arrangements with respect to these interests. These put and call arrangements allow management of these businesses to require the Company to purchase their interests or allow the Company to acquire such interests at fair value, respectively. These put and call arrangements become exercisable by the Company and the counter-party at various dates over the next four years. There are no put and call arrangements that became exercisable during 2012 and 2010. During 2011, one of these arrangements became exercisable. These put arrangements are exercisable by the counter-party outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, to the extent that the fair value of these interests exceeds the value determined by normal noncontrolling interest accounting, the value of such interests is adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded adjustments of $4.3 million, $4.3 million and $(2.1) million, respectively, to increase (reduce) these interests to fair value.

Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated subsidiaries of the Company should ordinarily be reported on the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders' equity, separately from the Company's equity. However, securities that are redeemable at the option of the holder and not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of shareholders' equity. Accordingly, if redemption of the noncontrolling interests is outside the control of the Company, the interests are included outside of shareholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2012 and 2011 primarily relate to Meetic and certain operations included in the Media and Other segments. Redeemable noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2010 primarily relate to the international operations of Match and certain operations included in the Media and Other segments.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2012 and 2011 relate principally to Meetic.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from online advertising, the market for which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant changes in this industry or changes in advertising spending behavior or in customer buying behavior could adversely affect our operating results. Most of the Company's online advertising revenue is attributable to a services agreement with Google, which expires on March 31, 2016. Our services agreement requires that we comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Subject to certain limitations, Google may unilaterally update its policies and guidelines, which could in turn require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of, our products, services and/or business practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, revenue earned from Google is $1.4 billion, $970.4 million and $727.9 million, respectively. This revenue is earned by the businesses comprising the Search & Applications segment. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $125.3 million and $105.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company's business is subject to certain risks and concentrations including dependence on third party technology providers, exposure to risks associated with online commerce security and credit card fraud.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with financial institutions and are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

In addition, included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 is a current deferred tax liability of $0.4 million.

At December 31, 2012, the Company has federal and state net operating losses ("NOLs") of $29.6 million and $92.1 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal NOLs will expire at various times between 2023 and 2032, and the state NOLs will expire at various times between 2013 and 2032. Utilization of federal NOLs will be subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, utilization of certain state NOLs may be subject to limitations under state laws similar to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. At December 31, 2012, the Company has foreign NOLs of $46.5 million available to offset future income. Of these foreign NOLs, $40.0 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $6.5 million will expire at various times between 2013 and 2032. During 2012, the Company recognized tax benefits related to NOLs of $2.1 million. Included in this amount is $0.6 million of tax benefits of acquired attributes which was recorded as a reduction in goodwill. At December 31, 2012, the Company has $8.9 million of federal capital losses and $248.4 million of state capital losses. If not utilized, the federal and state capital losses will expire between 2013 and 2017. Utilization of capital losses will be limited to the Company's ability to generate future capital gains.

At December 31, 2012, the Company has tax credit carryforwards of $14.9 million. Of this amount, $4.6 million related to federal credits for foreign taxes, $8.8 million related to state tax credits for research activities, and $1.4 million related to various state and local tax credits. Of these credit carryforwards, $10.2 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $4.6 million will expire within ten years.

During 2012, the Company's valuation allowance increased by $15.7 million primarily due to an unbenefited other-than-temporary impairment and unrealized losses in long-term marketable equity securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income and an increase in federal net operating losses. At December 31, 2012, the Company has a valuation allowance of $60.8 million related to the portion of tax loss carryforwards and other items for which it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.

No income taxes have been provided on indefinitely reinvested earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries aggregating $402.2 million at December 31, 2012. The amount of the unrecognized deferred income tax liability with respect to such earnings is $93.3 million.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, is as follows:

	December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Balance at January 1	$	351,561		$	389,909		$	394,294
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year	6,278			1,749			3,060
Additions for tax positions of prior years	45,287			9,560			9,897

Balance at December 31	$	379,281		$	351,561		$	389,909

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, are $496.8 million and $462.8 million, respectively. The total unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 include $14.5 million that have been netted against the related deferred tax assets. Of the remaining balance, $468.2 million is reflected in "non-current income taxes payable" and $14.1 million is reflected in "accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012. Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by $34.0 million due principally to a net increase in deductible timing differences and additions for tax positions related to prior years. Included in unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 is $75.7 million relating to tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. If unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 are subsequently recognized, $110.8 million and $222.3 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2011 are subsequently recognized, $89.5 million and $213.6 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively.

The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax provision. Included in the income tax provision for continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011

and 2010 is a $5.2 million expense, $1.4 million expense and $9.1 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes of $3.1 million, $0.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. Included in income tax provision for discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is a $2.8 million benefit, $6.7 million expense and $7.0 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes of $1.7 million, $4.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has accrued $117.5 million and $111.2 million, respectively, for the payment of interest. Included in the income tax provision for continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 is a $0.4 million expense for an increase in penalties on unrecognized tax benefits. Included in income tax provision for continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 is a $2.5 million benefit for a reduction in penalties on unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has accrued $5.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for penalties.

The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has substantially completed its audit of the Company's tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2009. The settlement of these tax years has not yet been submitted to the Joint Committee of Taxation for approval. The statute of limitations for the years 2001 through 2009 has been extended to December 31, 2013, and we expect it to be extended further. Various state and local jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are California, New York and New York City for various tax years beginning with 2005. Income taxes payable include reserves considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. Changes to reserves from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided may be material. Differences between the reserves for income tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $122.2 million within twelve months of the current reporting date, of which approximately $13.4 million could decrease income tax provision, primarily due to settlements, expirations of statutes of limitations, and the reversal of deductible temporary differences that will primarily result in a corresponding decrease in net deferred tax assets. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

NOTE 5—BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of About, Inc.

On September 24, 2012, IAC completed its purchase of all the outstanding shares of About, Inc. (“The About Group”), an online content and reference library offering expert, quality content across 90,000 topics. The purchase price was $300 million in cash, plus an amount equal to the net working capital of $17.1 million at closing.

The financial results of The About Group are included in IAC's consolidated financial statements, within the Search & Applications segment, beginning October 1, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company included $30.1 million of revenue and net earnings of $3.8 million in its consolidated statement of operations related to The About Group.

Total assets	327,318
Current liabilities	(7,027		)
Other long-term liabilities	(3,179		)
Net assets	$	317,112

The purchase price was based on the expected financial performance of The About Group, not on the value of the net identifiable assets at the time of acquisition, which resulted in a significant portion of the purchase price being attributed to goodwill. The expected financial performance of The About Group reflects that it is complementary and synergistic to the existing businesses of the Company's Search & Applications segment, particularly Ask.com.

Intangible assets are as follows:

	(In thousands)		Weighted-Average Useful Life (Years)
Indefinite-lived trade names	$	33,700	Indefinite

Total	$	103,289	3.6

The About Group's other current assets, property and equipment, other assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities were reviewed and adjusted to their fair values at the date of acquisition, as necessary. The fair value of trade names was determined using a relief from royalty method. The fair value of content was determined using an excess earnings method. The fair value of developed technology was determined using replacement cost. The fair value of advertiser relationships was determined using a "with and without" method, which determines the present value of profits that would be lost without the relationships. The fair value of customer lists was determined using an excess earnings method. The valuations of the intangible assets incorporate significant unobservable inputs and require significant judgment and estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows and the determination of royalty and discount rates. Substantially all of the amount attributed to goodwill is tax deductible.

Acquisition of Meetic

In 2009, Match acquired a 27% ownership interest in Meetic. Match accounted for this interest under the equity method of accounting through August 31, 2011. During the third quarter of 2011, Match acquired an additional 12.5 million shares of Meetic for $272.0 million in cash pursuant to a tender offer. These additional shares increased Match's voting interest and ownership interest in Meetic to 79% and 81%, respectively, resulting in Match obtaining a controlling financial interest in Meetic. Accordingly, this purchase was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the financial results of Meetic are included within IAC's consolidated financial statements and the Match operating segment beginning September 1, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company included $46.1 million of revenue, net of a $32.6 million write-off of deferred revenue, and a net loss of $8.6 million in its consolidated statement of operations related to Meetic.

NOTE 6—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying value. The Company also reviews definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a definite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. The Company performs its annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1 in connection with the preparation of its annual financial statements.

The Company determines the fair values of its reporting units using discounted cash flow ("DCF") analyses, and typically corroborates the concluded fair value using a market based valuation approach. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. The expected cash flows used in the DCF analyses are based on the Company's most recent budget and, for years beyond the budget, the Company's estimates, which are based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows of the respective reporting units. Assumptions used in the DCF analyses, including the discount rate, are assessed annually based on the reporting units' current results and forecast, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rates used in the Company's annual goodwill impairment assessment ranged from 13% to 25% in 2012 and 13% to 20% in 2011.

The Company determines the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using avoided royalty DCF analyses. Significant judgments inherent in these analyses include the selection of appropriate royalty and discount rates and estimating the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows generated by the respective intangible assets. The royalty rates used in the DCF analyses are based upon an estimate of the royalty rates that a market participant would pay to license the Company's trade names and trademarks. Assumptions used in the avoided royalty DCF analyses, including the discount rate and royalty rate, are assessed annually based on the actual and projected cash flows related to the asset, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rates used in the Company's annual indefinite-lived impairment assessment ranged from 10% to 18% in 2012 and 13% to 20% in 2011, and the royalty rates used ranged from 1% to 9% in both 2012 and 2011.

In connection with its annual assessment in 2010, the Company identified and recorded impairment charges at the Other segment related to the write-down of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of Shoebuy of $28.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and the write-down of an indefinite-lived intangible asset of Search & Applications of $11.0 million. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge at Shoebuy related to trade names and trademarks. The goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges at Shoebuy reflected expectations of lower revenue and profit performance in future years due to Shoebuy's 2010 fourth quarter revenue and profit performance, which is its seasonally strongest quarter. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge at Search & Applications was primarily due to lower future revenue projections associated with a trade name and trademark based largely upon the impact of 2010's full year results.

Cost method investments

In the third quarter of 2011, the Company acquired a 20% interest in Zhenai Inc. ("Zhenai"), a leading provider of online matchmaking services in China. Our voting power is limited by a shareholders agreement. In light of this limitation and the significance of our interest relative to other shareholders, we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of Zhenai and this investment is accounted for as a cost method investment.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a $7.8 million impairment charge related to the write-down of a cost method investment to fair value. The impairment charge was determined to be other-than-temporary due to the investee's inability to achieve its 2010 cash flow forecast during its seasonally strongest fourth quarter and the Company's assessment that

25

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

the investee would be unable to continue to operate without new outside financing. The impairment charge is included in "Other (expense) income, net" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Long-term marketable equity securities

The cost basis of the Company's long-term marketable equity securities at December 31, 2012 is $42.1 million, with a gross unrealized loss of $10.8 million included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The cost basis of the Company's long-term marketable equity securities at December 31, 2011 is $53.1 million, with gross unrealized gains of $29.8 million and a gross unrealized loss of $8.2 million included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2012, the Company's long-term marketable equity securities are both in an unrealized loss position. The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the unrealized losses. The Company recorded an $8.7 million other-than-temporary impairment charge related to the security that was in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than one year, based on the Company's evaluation of the near-term prospects of the issuer in relation to the severity (fair value was 50 percent less than cost) and duration of the unrealized loss. The impairment charge is included in “Other (expense) income, net” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not consider the second security to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2012 based on the Company's evaluation of the near term prospects of the issuer in relation to the severity and duration, less than two months, of the unrealized loss and the Company's ability and intent to hold this security for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an expected recovery of fair value.

Equity method investments

In 2012, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash charge of $18.6 million related to the re-measurement of the carrying value of our equity method investment in News_Beast to fair value in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest in June 2012. The re-measurement charge is included in "Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

In 2011, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash charge of $11.7 million related to the re-measurement of the carrying value of our equity method investment in Meetic to fair value in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest in August 2011. The re-measurement charge is included in "Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded an $18.3 million impairment charge to write-down an equity method investment to fair value. The decline in value was determined to be other-than-temporary due to the investee's continued losses and negative operating cash flows. The Company estimated the fair value of its investment using a multiple of revenue approach. The impairment charge is included in "Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The comparability of the summarized aggregated financial information presented below is affected by changes in ownership of our various equity method investments over the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. The operating data for 2010 is primarily comprised of Meetic; the operating data for 2011 is primarily comprised of Meetic and News_Beast; and the operating data for 2012 is primarily comprised of News_Beast. The balance sheet data at December 31, 2011 is primarily comprised of News_Beast and the balance sheet data at December 31, 2012 is comprised of our equity method investments other than Meetic and News_Beast. During 2010 and through August 31, 2011 we accounted for our 27% ownership interest in Meetic as an equity method investment. In 2011 we acquired a controlling interest in Meetic and as a result, Meetic is included within our consolidated financial statements beginning September 1, 2011. During 2011 and through May 31, 2012 we accounted for our 50% ownership interest in News_Beast as an equity method investment. In 2012 we acquired a controlling interest in News_Beast and as a result, News_Beast is included within our consolidated financial statements beginning June 1, 2012.

Auction rate security

The Company's auction rate security is valued by discounting the estimated future cash flow streams of the security over the life of the security. Credit spreads and other risk factors are also considered in establishing fair value. The cost basis of the auction rate security is $10.0 million, with gross unrealized losses of $1.9 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The unrealized losses are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2012, the auction rate security is rated A-/WR and matures in 2035. The Company does not consider the auction rate security to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2012, due to its high credit rating and because the Company does not intend to sell this security, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell this security, before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

Contingent consideration arrangement

On January 20, 2011, Match acquired OkCupid for $50.0 million in cash, plus potential additional consideration of up to $40.0 million that was contingent upon OkCupid's 2011 earnings performance. During the second quarter of 2011, the provisions of this contingent consideration arrangement were amended. Pursuant to the amendment, $30.0 million was paid to the former owners of OkCupid, and a potential additional payment of up to $10.0 million was contingent upon revised performance goals. The fair value of the OkCupid contingent consideration arrangement at December 31, 2011 was based upon the achievement of the performance goals which required a $10.0 million payment.

NOTE 12—SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Description of Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock

With respect to matters that may be submitted to a vote or for the consent of IAC's shareholders generally, including the election of directors, each holder of shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock vote together as a single class. In connection with any such vote, each holder of IAC common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of IAC common stock held and each holder of IAC Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes for each share of IAC Class B common stock held. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of shares of IAC common stock, acting as a single class, are entitled to elect 25% of the total number of IAC's directors, and, in the event that 25% of the total number of directors shall result in a fraction of a director, then the holders of shares of IAC common stock, acting as a single class, are entitled to elect the next higher whole number of IAC's directors. In addition, Delaware law requires that certain matters be approved by the holders of shares of IAC common stock or holders of IAC Class B common stock voting as a separate class.

Shares of IAC Class B common stock are convertible into shares of IAC common stock at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, on a share-for-share basis. Such conversion ratio will in all events be equitably preserved in the event of any recapitalization of IAC by means of a stock dividend on, or a stock split or combination of, outstanding shares of IAC common stock or IAC Class B common stock, or in the event of any merger, consolidation or other reorganization of IAC with another corporation. Upon the conversion of shares of IAC Class B common stock into shares of IAC common stock, those

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

shares of IAC Class B common stock will be retired and will not be subject to reissue. Shares of IAC common stock are not convertible into shares of IAC Class B common stock.

Except as described herein, shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock are identical. The holders of shares of IAC common stock and the holders of shares of IAC Class B common stock are entitled to receive, share for share, such dividends as may be declared by IAC's Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of IAC, the holders of shares of IAC common stock and the holders of shares of IAC Class B common stock are entitled to receive, share for share, all the assets of IAC available for distribution to its stockholders, after the rights of the holders of any IAC preferred stock have been satisfied.

On December 1, 2010, Mr. Diller, Chairman of the Board and Senior Executive of the Company, entered into an agreement with Liberty, pursuant to which Liberty exchanged with Mr. Diller an aggregate of 4.3 million shares of Class B common stock for the same number of shares of common stock held by Mr. Diller. In consideration of Mr. Diller waiving certain pre-existing rights under the Stockholders Agreement with respect to Liberty's transfer to IAC of shares of common stock and Class B common stock, the Company agreed to permit Mr. Diller to exchange with IAC, on a one-for-one basis, from time to time until September 1, 2011 up to 1.5 million shares of common stock for shares of Class B common stock. During 2011, Mr. Diller exchanged 1.5 million shares of common stock for 1.5 million shares of Class B common stock.

Further, on December 1, 2010, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement with Liberty. Under the agreement, Liberty agreed to exchange with IAC an aggregate of 4.3 million shares of common stock described above and an aggregate of 8.5 million shares of Class B common stock for the outstanding shares of Celebrate Interactive, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC, which owned all of the equity interests of Evite, Inc., Giftco, Inc. and IAC Advertising, LLC and $217.9 million in cash.

The shares of common stock and Class B common stock exchanged by Liberty represented substantially all of the shares of common stock and all of the shares of Class B common stock owned beneficially and/or of record by Liberty.

Following consummation of the above transactions, Mr. Diller has 5.8 million shares of IAC's outstanding Class B common stock.

At December 31, 2012, Mr. Diller has 42.5% of the outstanding total voting power of the Company.

Description of Preferred Stock

IAC's Board of Directors has the authority to designate, by resolution, the powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of preferred stock issued by IAC without any further vote or action by the shareholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued would have priority over shares of IAC common stock and shares of IAC Class B common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights or both. At December 31, 2012 and 2011 there is no preferred stock issued and outstanding.

In connection with equity compensation plans, 19.8 million shares of IAC common stock are reserved at December 31, 2012.

(a) Amounts in 2010 include the gain on the Liberty Exchange.

(b) If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based stock units ("PSUs"). At December 31, 2012, there are no warrants outstanding. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 0.8 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(c) For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company has a loss from continuing operations and as a result, no potentially dilutive securities are included in the denominator for computing diluted earnings per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the weighted average basic shares outstanding are used to compute all earnings per share amounts. For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 36.3 million shares related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(d) Prior to 2012, no PSUs are included in diluted earnings per share. During 2012, there are approximately 2.7 million PSUs included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their performance conditions have been met. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 approximately 0.1 million, 3.1 million and 2.9 million PSUs are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 14—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

IAC currently has two active plans under which awards have been granted. These plans cover stock options to acquire shares of IAC common stock, RSUs, PSUs and restricted stock, as well as provide for the future grant of these and other equity awards. These plans authorize the Company to grant awards to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. At December 31, 2012, there are 3.6 million shares available for grant under the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

The plans were adopted in 2005 and 2008, have a stated term of ten years, and provide that the exercise price of stock options granted will not be less than the market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The plans do not specify grant dates or vesting schedules of awards as those determinations have been delegated to the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of IAC's Board of Directors (the "Committee"). Each grant agreement reflects the vesting schedule for that particular grant as determined by the Committee. Broad-based stock option awards to date have generally vested in equal annual installments over a four-year period and RSU awards currently outstanding generally vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period, in each case, from the grant date. PSU awards to date generally cliff vest at the end of a two to three-year period from the date of grant. In addition to equity awards outstanding under the two plans, stock options and other equity awards outstanding under terminated plans and plans assumed in acquisitions are reflected in the information set forth below.

The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations is reduced by estimated forfeitures, as the expense recorded is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date based on historical experience and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimated rate.

The total income tax benefit recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 related to stock-based compensation is $31.3 million, $32.7 million and $32.2 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2012, there is $92.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between IAC's closing stock price on the last trading day of 2012 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2012. This amount changes based on the fair market value of IAC's common stock. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is $84.8 million, $70.6 million and $16.4 million, respectively.

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Approximately 3.6 million, 2.6 million and 2.4 million stock options were granted by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various assumptions, including expected volatility and expected term. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, expected stock price volatilities were estimated based on the Company's historical volatility. The risk-free interest rates are based on U.S. Treasury yields for notes with comparable terms as the awards, in effect at the grant date. The following are the weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2010
Expected volatility	31	%	30	%	30	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.6	%	2.3	%	2.4	%
Expected term	4.4 years		6.1 years		5.6 years
Dividend yield	1.2		—		—

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 with exercise prices equal to the market prices of IAC's common stock on the date of grant are $10.69, $11.08 and $6.38, respectively. The weighted average exercise price and weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2010 with exercise prices greater than the market value of IAC's common stock on the date of grant are $60.00 and $7.61, and $32.00 and $11.05, respectively. There are no stock options issued during the year ended December 31, 2011 with exercise prices greater than the market value of IAC's common stock on the date of grant.

Cash received from stock option exercises and the related tax benefit realized for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are: $58.2 million and $74.3 million; $89.8 million and $25.5 million; and $39.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance-based Stock Units

RSUs and PSUs are awards in the form of phantom shares or units, denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of IAC common stock and with the value of each RSU and PSU equal to the fair value of IAC common stock at the date of grant. RSUs and PSUs may be settled in cash, stock or both, as determined by the Committee at the time of grant. Each RSU and PSU grant is subject to service-based vesting, where a specific period of continued employment must pass before an award

34

IAC/INTERACTIVECORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

vests. PSUs also include performance-based vesting, where certain performance targets set at the time of grant must be achieved before an award vests. The Company recognizes expense for all RSUs and PSUs for which vesting is considered probable. For RSU grants, the expense is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation over the vesting term. For PSU grants, the expense is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation over the vesting term if the performance targets are considered probable of being achieved.

Nonvested RSUs and PSUs outstanding at December 31, 2012 and changes during the year ended December 31, 2012 are as follows:

	RSUs				PSUs
	Number of shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of shares(a)		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

_______________________________________________________________________________

(a) Included in the table are PSUs which vest at the end of two or three years in varying amounts depending upon certain performance conditions. The PSU table above includes these awards at their maximum potential payout.

The weighted average fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 based on market prices of IAC's common stock on the grant date was $46.24, $32.41 and $23.05, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs and PSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $139.0 million, $33.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively.

Equity Instruments Denominated in the Shares of Certain Subsidiaries

IAC has granted phantom equity units and stock options in various operating subsidiaries to certain members of the subsidiaries' management. These equity awards vest over a period of years or upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. In some cases, IAC has taken a preferred interest in the subsidiary with a face value equal to the subsidiary's acquisition price or, when funding a start-up business, its investment cost, or a certain other fixed amount. In some cases, these preferred interests accrete with paid-in-kind dividends at a prescribed rate of return. The value of the phantom equity units and stock options is tied to the value of the common stock of the entity, with the equity awards management receives as a whole generally representing a small minority of the total common stock outstanding. Accordingly, these interests only have value to the extent the relevant business appreciates in value above the preferred interest (including the accretion of dividends), our investment cost or other fixed amount or, in the case of stock options, the initial value utilized to determine the exercise price. These interests can have significant value in the event of significant appreciation. The interests are ultimately settled in IAC common stock or cash at the option of IAC, with fair market value generally determined by negotiation or arbitration, at various dates through 2019. The expense associated with these equity awards is initially measured at fair value at the grant date and is expensed as non-cash compensation over the vesting term. The aggregate number of IAC common shares that would be required to settle these interests at current estimated fair values, including vested and unvested interests, at December 31, 2012 is 2.0 million shares, which is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. The comparable amount at December 31, 2011 is 2.2 million shares.

NOTE 15—SEGMENT INFORMATION

The overall concept that IAC employs in determining its operating segments is to present the financial information in a manner consistent with how the chief operating decision maker and executive management view the businesses, how the businesses are organized as to segment management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of services or products offered or the target market. Operating segments are combined for reporting purposes if they meet certain aggregation

(a) The Company's primary metric is Operating Income Before Amortization, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment and (4) one-time items. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it represents the operating results from IAC's segments, taking into account depreciation, which it believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation and acquisition related accounting. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-U.S. GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable U.S. GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence, financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-U.S. GAAP measure.

(b) Consistent with the Company's primary metric (described in (a) above), the Company excludes, if applicable, goodwill and intangible assets from the measure of segment assets presented above.

NOTE 16—COMMITMENTS

The Company leases land, office space, data center facilities and equipment used in connection with its operations under various operating leases, many of which contain escalation clauses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Future minimum payments under operating lease agreements are as follows:

Years Ending December 31,	(In thousands)
2013	$	24,071
2014	25,565
2015	23,812
2016	23,268
2017	20,593
Thereafter	210,798
Total	$	328,107

Expenses charged to operations under these agreements are $30.6 million, $31.3 million and $31.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company's most significant operating lease is a 77 year ground lease for IAC's headquarters building in New York City and approximates 55% of the future minimum payments due under all operating lease agreements in the table above.

The Company also has funding commitments that could potentially require its performance in the event of demands by third parties or contingent events as follows:

	Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Period
	Total Amounts Committed		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years
	(In thousands)
Letters of credit	$	2,780	$	2,780	$	—	$	—

Total commercial commitments	$	43,889	$	21,565	$	22,233	$	91

The letters of credit support the Company's casualty insurance program. The purchase obligations primarily include advertising commitments, which commitments are reducible or terminable such that these commitments can never exceed associated revenue by a meaningful amount. Purchase obligations also include minimum payments due under telecommunication contracts related to data transmission lines.

NOTE 17—CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including income and non-tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See Note 4 for additional information related to income tax contingencies.

NOTE 18—SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Transactions for 2010

On December 1, 2010, in accordance with the Company's stock exchange agreement with Liberty, IAC exchanged $217.9 million in cash and all the outstanding shares of Celebrate Interactive, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC that held all the equity interests of Evite, Inc., Giftco, Inc. and IAC Advertising, LLC, for substantially all of Liberty's shares of IAC common

stock and all of its shares of Class B common stock, which were valued at $364.2 million based on the closing price of IAC common stock on December 1, 2010.

On March 10, 2010, Match and Meetic completed a transaction in which Match contributed its Latin American business ("Match Latam") and Meetic contributed Parperfeito to a newly formed venture. These contributions, along with a $3.0 million payment from Match to Meetic, resulted in each party owning a 50% equity interest in the newly formed venture, which was valued at $72 million. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction as the fair value of the consideration received by Match equaled the fair value of the assets exchanged.

Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information:

During 2010, IAC received a dividend of $11.4 million from Meetic, which the Company deemed to be a partial return of its investment. Accordingly, the dividend is reflected as a cash inflow from an investing activity in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

NOTE 19—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On December 1, 2010, the Company completed a tax-free exchange with Liberty. See Note 12 for additional information regarding this exchange.

In connection with and following the Expedia spin-off, the Company and Expedia entered into various commercial agreements, which generally include distribution agreements, services agreements and advertising agreements, as well as a cost sharing agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, transactions related to these agreements have been immaterial. The Company and Expedia are related parties since they are under common control, given that Mr. Diller serves as Chairman and Senior Executive of both IAC and Expedia.

In addition, each of the Company and Expedia has a 50% ownership interest in an aircraft that may be used by both companies. Members of this aircraft's flight crew are employed by an entity in which each of the Company and Expedia has a 50% ownership interest. The Company and Expedia have agreed to share costs relating to flight crew compensation and benefits pro-rata according to each company's respective usage of the aircraft, for which they are separately billed by the entity described above. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, total payments made to this entity by the Company were immaterial.

NOTE 20—BENEFIT PLANS

IAC has a retirement savings plan in the United States that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may contribute up to 50% of their pre-tax earnings, but not more than statutory limits. IAC contributes fifty cents for each dollar a participant contributes in this plan, with a maximum contribution of 3% of a participant's eligible earnings. Matching contributions for the plan for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are $6.5 million, $5.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The increase in matching contributions in 2012 is primarily related to increased participation in the plan. Matching contributions are invested in the same manner as each participant's voluntary contributions in the investment options provided under the plan. Investment options in the plan include IAC common stock, but neither participant nor matching contributions are required to be invested in IAC common stock.

IAC also has or participates in various benefit plans, principally defined contribution plans, for its international employees. IAC's contributions for these plans for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are $2.3 million, $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The increase in contributions for both 2012 and 2011 relates primarily to Meetic, consolidated beginning September 1, 2011.

(b) The third quarter of 2011 includes an after-tax non-cash charge of $11.7 million related to the re-measurement of the carrying value of Match's 27% equity method investment in Meetic to fair value (i.e., the tender offer price of €15.00 per share) in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest. The third quarter of 2011 also includes the reversal of a previously established deferred tax liability of $43.6 million in connection with the acquisition of Meetic.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of IAC/InterActiveCorp

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of About, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 25, 2011, and the related consolidated statement of operations, shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of About, Inc. at December 25, 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Acquisition by IAC/InterActiveCorp

On September 24, 2012, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC") completed the acquisition of 100% of About, Inc., consisting of About.com, ConsumerSearch.com, CalorieCount.com and related businesses (collectively, the "Company," "The About Group," "we," "our" or "us") from The New York Times Company (the "Parent" company).

Nature of Operations

About.com focuses on delivering at scale high-quality, expert content on everyday topics that is personally relevant to its users. The topic sites on the About.com platform are supported by independent, freelance subject-matter experts, or Guides, who create and publish original content across a variety of subject matters. At the end of 2011, About.com had more than 900 topic sites supported by independent Guides across more than 115,000 topics, in over 3 million articles. The About.com platform has expanded its reach by delivering content across other digital platforms, including mobile applications and social networking sites, launching a Spanish-language channel in 2011 and increasing the number of how-to and do-it-yourself videos across its 24 channels with more than 10,000 videos at the end of 2011. According to comScore Media Metrix, in December 2011 About.com had approximately 60 million unique visitors in the United States and 108 million unique visitors worldwide.

ConsumerSearch.com analyzes expert and user-generated consumer product reviews and recommends the best products to purchase based on the findings.

CalorieCount.com is an online resource that offers weight management tools, nutritional information and social support that is personally relevant to its users. In February 2011, we sold UCompareHealthCare.com, which provides dynamic internet-based interactive tools that enable users to measure the quality of certain healthcare services.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of The New York Times Company. The consolidated financial statements reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of The About Group businesses since their respective dates of acquisition by The New York Times Company, and the allocation of overhead and certain expenses associated with centralized support functions of The New York Times Company based on the historical financial statements and accounting records of The New York Times Company and using the historical results of operations and historical bases of the assets and liabilities of The About Group businesses. However, for the purposes of these financial statements, income taxes have been computed for The About Group on an as if stand-alone, separate tax return basis.

All intracompany transactions and balances between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between The About Group and The New York Times Company have been included in these consolidated financial statements and are considered to be effectively settled for cash in the consolidated financial statements at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows as a financing activity and in the consolidated balance sheet as "Parent company investment."

In the opinion of management, the assumptions underlying the historical consolidated financial statements of The About Group, including the basis on which the expenses have been allocated from The New York Times Company, are reasonable. However, the allocations may not reflect the expenses that we may have incurred as an independent, stand-alone company for the period presented.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intracompany transactions and balances between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year end is the last Sunday in December. Our fiscal year ended as of December 25, 2011. Fiscal year 2011 is comprised of 52 weeks.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounts Receivable

Credit is extended to our advertisers based upon an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, and collateral is not required from such customers. Allowance for estimated credit losses is generally established based on historical experience. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Asset Category	Estimated Useful Lives
Equipment and furniture	3 to 6 Years
Leasehold improvements	2 to 6 Years

Capitalized Software

The Company capitalizes certain internal use software costs including compensation and benefit costs for personnel directly associated with the development of the software. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. The estimated useful life of capitalized internal use software is 3 years. The net book value of capitalized internal use software amounted to $8.7 million as of December 25, 2011 and is included in "Miscellaneous assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Amortization expense related to capitalized internal use software was $2.8 million and is included in "Depreciation and amortization" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Acquired

Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of tangible and other intangible net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or in an interim period if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Our annual impairment testing date is the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter.

Other intangible assets acquired consist primarily of trade names of various acquired properties, customer lists and content. Other intangible assets acquired that have indefinite lives (trade names) are not amortized but tested for impairment annually or in an interim period if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Certain other intangible assets acquired (primarily customer lists and content) are amortized over their estimated useful lives and tested for impairment if certain circumstances indicate an impairment may exist.

We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level. Our test is based on our single reporting unit structure. We first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The result of this assessment will determine whether it is necessary to perform the goodwill impairment two-step test.

If we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying value, in the first step, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Fair value is calculated by a combination of a discounted cash flow model and a market approach model. In calculating fair value for the reporting unit, we generally weigh the results of the discounted cash flow model more heavily than the market approach because the discounted cash flow model is specific to our business and long-term projections. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount,

goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In the second step, we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill.

The discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various judgments, estimates and assumptions, many of which are interdependent, about future revenues, operating margins, growth rates, capital expenditures, working capital and discount rates. The starting point for the assumptions used in our discounted cash flow analysis is the annual long-range financial forecast. The annual planning process that we undertake to prepare the long-range financial forecast takes into consideration a multitude of factors, including historical growth rates and operating performance, related industry trends, macroeconomic conditions, and marketplace data, among others. Assumptions are also made for perpetual growth rates for periods beyond the long-range financial forecast period. Our estimates of fair value are sensitive to changes in all of these variables, certain of which relate to broader macroeconomic conditions outside our control.

The market approach analysis includes applying a multiple, based on comparable market transactions, to certain operating metrics of the reporting unit.

Intangible assets that are not amortized (trade names) are tested for impairment at the asset level by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. Fair value is calculated as the discounted cash flows utilizing the relief-from-royalty method. This method is based on applying a royalty rate, which would be obtained through a lease, to the cash flows derived from the asset being tested. The royalty rate is derived from market data. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, the asset is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the fair value of the asset.

All other long-lived assets (intangible assets that are amortized, such as content and customer lists) are tested for impairment at the asset group level associated with the lowest level of cash flows. An impairment exists if the carrying value of the asset (1) is not recoverable (the carrying value of the asset is greater than the sum of undiscounted cash flows) and (2) is greater than its fair value.

The significant estimates and assumptions used by management in assessing the recoverability of goodwill, other intangible assets acquired and other long-lived assets are estimated future cash flows, discount rates, growth rates, as well as other factors. Any changes in these estimates or assumptions could result in an impairment charge. The estimates, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management's subjective judgment. Depending on the assumptions and estimates used, the estimated results of the impairment tests can vary within a range of outcomes.

In addition to annual testing, management uses certain indicators to evaluate whether the carrying values of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable and an interim impairment test may be required. These indicators include (1) current-period operating or cash flow declines consolidated with a history of operating or cash flow declines or a projection/forecast that demonstrates continuing declines in the cash flow or the inability to improve our operations to forecasted levels and (2) a significant adverse change in the business climate, whether structural or technological.

Management has applied what it believes to be the most appropriate valuation methodology for its impairment testing. See Note 3.

Revenue Recognition

Advertising revenues are recognized each time a user clicks on ads or each time an ad is viewed by a user.

The About Group generates revenues through cost-per-click advertising (sponsored links for which the Company is paid when a user clicks on the ad), display advertising and e-commerce (including sales lead generation). Almost all of our revenues (95% in 2011) are derived from the sale of cost-per-click advertising and display advertising. Cost-per-click advertising, which in 2011 represented 56% of the Company's total advertising revenues, is principally derived from an arrangement with Google under which third-party advertising is placed on the Company's Web sites. For the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011, revenue earned from Google for cost-per-click and display advertising was $66.4 million. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $4.4 million at December 25, 2011.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Other revenues (which include e-commerce) are recognized when the related service has been delivered.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We record interest, net of any applicable related income tax benefit, on potential tax contingencies as a component of income tax expense.

We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 3—IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Our 2011 annual impairment test, which was completed in the fourth quarter, resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $3.1 million relating to the write-down of an intangible asset at ConsumerSearch, Inc. This impairment charge reduced the carrying value of the ConsumerSearch trade name to $2.9 million. The fair value of the trade name was calculated using a relief-from-royalty method. The impairment was driven by lower cost-per-click advertising revenues.

There were no additional impairment charges in connection with our 2011 annual impairment test. However, the Company's estimated fair value was 18% greater than its carrying value in our 2011 impairment test compared with 60% in our 2010 impairment test, a significant decline during 2011. We had $367.3 million of goodwill as of December 25, 2011.

In determining the fair value, we made significant judgments and estimates regarding the expected recovery of display and cost-per-click advertising. The effect of these assumptions on projected long-term revenues, along with investments to grow content and traffic, play a significant role in calculating the fair value. We believe if the long-term projected cash flows of the Company are not met a goodwill impairment charge could be reasonably likely.

NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The transaction would be in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, based on assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

We classified all these measurements as Level 3, as we used unobservable inputs within the valuation methodologies that were significant to the fair value measurements, and the valuation required management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices. See Note 3 for information regarding the valuation techniques utilized to determine fair value.

By virtue of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with The New York Times Company, The About Group is routinely under audit by federal, state, and local authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by The About Group are recorded in the period they become known. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") is currently examining The New York Times Company consolidated tax return for the year ended December 25, 2011, which includes the operations of The About Group.

Under the Plan, participating employees may contribute up to 75% of their eligible earnings to the Plan as pre-tax, after-tax or Roth contributions, subject to the statutory limits. The New York Times Company provides a matching contribution on the first 6% contributed by a participant equal to 5% of the participant's eligible earnings. This matching contribution is allocated in both cash and The New York Times Company stock. The stock portion of the matching contribution is initially allocated to The New York Times Company Stock Fund and participants are able to keep their contributions invested in The New York Times Company Stock Fund, or at any time, transfer its value into any of the other investment options under the Plan. The Plan permits participants to be able to direct that up to 10% of their future contributions shall be invested in The New York Times Company Stock Fund, or to transfer up to 10% of their existing account balance into The New York Times Company Stock Fund. In addition, The New York Times Company makes a cash contribution equal to 3% of a participant's eligible earnings to all participants meeting certain eligibility requirements. Total employer contributions were $1.1 million.

improvements in total advertising trends in the second quarter of 2012 compared with first-quarter 2012 levels, our expectations for future operating results and cash flows in the long-term were lower than our previous estimates primarily driven by a reassessment of the sustainability of our estimated long-term growth rate for display advertising. The reduction in our estimated long-term growth rate resulted in the carrying value of the net assets being greater than their fair value, and therefore a write-down of goodwill to its fair value was required.

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Acquisition by IAC/InterActiveCorp

On September 24, 2012, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC") completed the acquisition of 100% of About, Inc., consisting of About.com, ConsumerSearch.com, CalorieCount.com and related businesses (collectively, the "Company," "The About Group," "we," "our" or "us") from The New York Times Company (the "Parent" company).

Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of The New York Times Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of The About Group businesses since their respective dates of acquisition by The New York Times Company, and the allocation of overhead and certain expenses associated with centralized support functions of The New York Times Company based on the historical financial statements and accounting records of The New York Times Company and using the historical results of operations and historical bases of the assets and liabilities of The About Group businesses. However, for the purposes of these financial statements, income taxes have been computed for The About Group on an as if stand-alone, separate tax return basis.

All intracompany transactions and balances between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between The About Group and The New York Times Company have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements and are considered to be effectively settled for cash in the condensed consolidated financial statements at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as a financing activity and in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as "Parent company investment."

In the opinion of management, the assumptions underlying the historical consolidated financial statements of The About Group, including the basis on which the expenses have been allocated from The New York Times Company, are reasonable. However, the allocations may not reflect the expenses that we may have incurred as an independent, stand-alone company for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of The About Group had The About Group been a stand-alone company for the periods presented. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year's operations. The fiscal periods included herein comprise 13 weeks for the three month periods and 26 weeks for the full six-month periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2011.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intracompany transactions and balances between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2—CONCENTRATIONS

The About Group generates revenues through cost-per-click advertising (sponsored links for which the Company is paid when user clicks on the ad), display advertising and e-commerce (including sales lead generation). Almost all of our revenues (95% for all periods presented) are derived from the sale of cost-per-click advertising and display advertising. Cost-per-click advertising, represented 58% and 57% for the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, respectively, and 56% and 57% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2011, respectively, of the Company's total advertising revenues, is principally derived from an arrangement with Google under which third-party advertising is placed on the Company's Web sites. For the three and six months ended June 24, 2012, revenue earned from Google for cost-per-click and display advertising was $16.1 million and $31.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 26, 2011, revenue earned from Google for cost-per-click and display advertising was $16.2 million and $34.5 million, respectively. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $8.4 million and $4.4 million at June 24, 2012 and December 25, 2011, respectively.

NOTE 3—IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or in an interim period if certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Our policy is to perform our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. However, due to certain impairment indicators, we performed an interim impairment test as of June 24, 2012.

The interim impairment test resulted in a $194.7 million non-cash charge in the second quarter of 2012 for the impairment of goodwill. While we saw improvements in total advertising trends in the second quarter of 2012 compared with first-quarter 2012 levels, our expectations for future operating results and cash flows in the long-term are lower than our previous estimates primarily driven by a reassessment of the sustainability of our estimated long-term growth rate for display advertising. The reduction in our estimated long-term growth rate resulted in the carrying value of the net assets being greater than their fair value, and therefore a write-down of goodwill to its fair value was required. The fair value of goodwill was the residual fair value after allocating the total fair value to its other assets, net of liabilities.

The impairment charge in the second quarter of 2012 was related to goodwill. The total fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow model (present value of future cash flows). We estimated a 3.5% annual growth rate to arrive at a residual year representing the perpetual cash flows. The residual year cash flow was capitalized to arrive at the terminal value. Utilizing a discount rate of 15.0%, the present value of the cash flows during the projection period and terminal value were aggregated to estimate the fair value. In our 2011 annual impairment test, we had assumed a 5.0% annual growth rate and a 13.8% discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate, we considered the weighted-average cost of capital for comparable companies.

NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The transaction would be in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, based on assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Certain non-financial assets, such as goodwill, other intangible assets, property and equipment and certain investments, are only recorded at fair value if an impairment charge is recognized. The following table presents non-financial assets that were measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the impairment loss recorded during 2012 on those assets:

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 24, 2012 are lower than the statutory rate of 35% due to non-deductible impairment charges.

We had an income tax expense of $4.1 million (effective tax rate of 36.1%) for the three months ended June 26, 2011 and an income tax expense of $9.3 million (effective tax rate of 36.1%) for the six months ended June 26, 2011. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 are higher than the statutory rate of 35% due to state taxes.

NOTE 7—CONTINGENCIES

There are various legal actions that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and are pending against us. Although, it is the opinion of management after reviewing these actions with our legal counsel that resolving claims against us will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial position of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future.

Schedule of reconciliation of Operating Income Before Amortization from segments to consolidated

(a) The Company's primary metric is Operating Income Before Amortization, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment and (4) one-time items. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it represents the operating results from IAC's segments, taking into account depreciation, which it believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation and acquisition related accounting. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-U.S. GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable U.S. GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence, financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-U.S. GAAP measure.

Contingencies Disclosure

CONTINGENCIES

CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various lawsuits. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain other legal matters where we believe an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. The Company also evaluates other contingent matters, including income and non-tax contingencies, to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and estimated extent of potential loss. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company. See Note 4 for additional information related to income tax contingencies.

(b) The third quarter of 2011 includes an after-tax non-cash charge of $11.7 million related to the re-measurement of the carrying value of Match's 27% equity method investment in Meetic to fair value (i.e., the tender offer price of €15.00 per share) in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest. The third quarter of 2011 also includes the reversal of a previously established deferred tax liability of $43.6 million in connection with the acquisition of Meetic.

(c) Quarterly per share amounts may not add to the related annual per share amount because of differences in the average common shares outstanding during each period.

BENEFIT PLANS

BENEFIT PLANS

IAC has a retirement savings plan in the United States that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may contribute up to 50% of their pre-tax earnings, but not more than statutory limits. IAC contributes fifty cents for each dollar a participant contributes in this plan, with a maximum contribution of 3% of a participant's eligible earnings. Matching contributions for the plan for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are $6.5 million, $5.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The increase in matching contributions in 2012 is primarily related to increased participation in the plan. Matching contributions are invested in the same manner as each participant's voluntary contributions in the investment options provided under the plan. Investment options in the plan include IAC common stock, but neither participant nor matching contributions are required to be invested in IAC common stock.

IAC also has or participates in various benefit plans, principally defined contribution plans, for its international employees. IAC's contributions for these plans for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are $2.3 million, $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The increase in contributions for both 2012 and 2011 relates primarily to Meetic, consolidated beginning September 1, 2011.

__________________________________________________________________

(a) Amounts in 2010 include the gain on the Liberty Exchange.

(b) If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based stock units ("PSUs"). At December 31, 2012, there are no warrants outstanding. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 0.8 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(c) For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company has a loss from continuing operations and as a result, no potentially dilutive securities are included in the denominator for computing diluted earnings per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the weighted average basic shares outstanding are used to compute all earnings per share amounts. For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 36.3 million shares related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(d) Prior to 2012, no PSUs are included in diluted earnings per share. During 2012, there are approximately 2.7 million PSUs included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their performance conditions have been met. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 approximately 0.1 million, 3.1 million and 2.9 million PSUs are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2012

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Consolidation and Accounting for Investments

Basis of Consolidation and Accounting for Investments

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee, but does not have a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in entities in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee are accounted for using the cost method. The Company evaluates each cost and equity method investment for impairment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment loss if a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. Such impairment evaluations include, but are not limited to: the current business environment, including competition; going concern considerations such as financial condition and the rate at which the investee company utilizes cash and the investee company's ability to obtain additional financing to achieve its business plan; the need for changes to the investee company's existing business model due to changing business environments and its ability to successfully implement necessary changes; and comparable valuations. If the Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of a cost method investment, then the fair value of such cost method investment is not estimated, as it is impracticable to do so.

Accounting Estimates

Accounting Estimates

Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to: the fair values of marketable securities and other investments; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the useful lives and recovery of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue reserves; the reserves for income tax contingencies; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered or merchandise is delivered to customers, the fee or price charged is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Deferred revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of the Company's rendering of services or delivery of merchandise.

Search & Applications

The Search & Applications segment's revenue consists principally of advertising revenue which is generated primarily through the display of paid listings in response to search queries, as well as from advertisements appearing on its destination search websites and portals and certain third party websites and the syndication of search results generated by Ask-branded destination search websites. The Company obtains the substantial majority of its paid listings from third-party providers, primarily Google Inc. ("Google"). Paid listings are priced on a price per click and when the Company delivers a user's click to a paid listing supplied by Google, Google bills the advertiser and shares a portion of its resulting paid listing fee with the Company. The Company recognizes paid listing revenue from Google when it delivers the user's click. In cases where the user's click is generated by a third party site, the Company recognizes the amount due from Google as revenue and records the revenue share obligation to the third-party site as traffic acquisition costs.

Match

Match's revenue consists primarily of subscription fee revenue generated from customers who subscribe to online personals services on Match.com and most of Match's other personals websites. Subscription fee revenue is recognized over the terms of the applicable subscriptions, which primarily range from one to six months. Deferred revenue at Match is $103.9 million and $94.9 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Match also earns revenue from online advertising, primarily from OkCupid, which was acquired in January 2011. Online advertising revenue is recognized every time an ad is displayed.

Local

HomeAdvisor's lead acceptance revenue is generated and recognized when an in-network home service professional is delivered a consumer lead. HomeAdvisor's activation revenue is generated through the enrollment and activation of a new home service professional. Activation revenue is initially deferred and recognized over 24 months. Deferred revenue at HomeAdvisor is $3.0 million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

CityGrid Media's revenue is primarily generated through the sale of local and national online advertising. There are several types of internet advertisements, and the way in which advertising revenue is earned varies among them. Depending upon the terms, revenue might be earned every time a user clicks on an ad, every time an ad is displayed, or every time a user clicks-through on the ad and takes a specified action on the destination site.

Media

Revenue of media businesses included in this segment is generated primarily through advertising, media production and subscriptions. Advertising revenue is recognized every time an ad is displayed or over the period earned, media production revenue is recognized based on delivery and acceptance and subscription fee revenue is recognized over the terms of the applicable subscriptions, which are one month or one year.

Other

Shoebuy's revenue consists of merchandise sales, reduced by incentive discounts and sales returns, and is recognized when delivery to the customer has occurred. Delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, which is on the date of shipment. Accruals for returned merchandise are based on historical experience. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as revenue. The costs associated with shipping goods to customers are recorded as cost of revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments, with maturities of less than 91 days from the date of purchase. Domestically, cash equivalents primarily consist of AAA rated money market funds. Internationally, cash equivalents primarily consist of AAA rated money market funds and time deposits.

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities

The Company invests in certain marketable securities, which primarily consist of short-to-intermediate-term debt securities issued by investment grade corporate issuers. The Company only invests in marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity and the ability to readily convert investments into cash to fund current operations or satisfy other cash requirements as needed. From time to time, the Company may invest in marketable equity securities as part of its investment strategy. All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The specific-identification method is used to determine the cost of securities sold and the amount of unrealized gains and losses reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings.

The Company employs a methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential other-than-temporary impairments of its investments. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in current earnings and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue reserves. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the specific customer's ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the customer's industry. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. The Company also maintains allowances to reserve for potential credits issued to customers or other revenue adjustments. The amount of these reserves are based, in part, on historical experience.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Asset Category	Estimated Useful Lives
Buildings and leasehold improvements	3 to 39 Years
Computer equipment and capitalized software	2 to 3 Years
Furniture and other equipment	3 to 10 Years

The Company capitalizes certain internal use software costs including external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the software and compensation and other employee-related costs for personnel directly associated with the development of the software. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. During 2011, the Company wrote-off $4.9 million in capitalized software costs associated with the exit of the Company's direct sponsored listings business. The net book value of capitalized internal use software is $33.4 million and $29.2 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill acquired in business combinations is assigned to the reporting unit(s) that are expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying value. In 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment", which gives companies the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, no further assessment of that reporting unit's goodwill is necessary. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the goodwill must be tested using a two-step process based on prior accounting guidance, and if the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. The Company also adopted Accounting Standards Update 2012-02 "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" in 2012, which gives companies the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, the fair value of the asset does not need to be determined. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, then the indefinite-lived intangible asset must be tested based on prior accounting guidance, and if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. See Note 6 for discussion of impairment charges recorded in 2010. There are no impairment charges recorded in 2012 and 2011.

The Company's reporting units are consistent with its determination of its operating segments. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company's operating segments, reporting units and reportable segments are as follows:

Operating Segment and Reporting Unit	Reportable Segment
Search & Applications	Search & Applications
Match	Match
HomeAdvisor	Local
CityGrid Media	Local
Connected Ventures	Media
DailyBurn	Media
Shoebuy	Other
Tutor	Other

Media and Other include other operating segments that do not have goodwill. See Note 15 for additional information regarding the Company's method of determining operating and reportable segments.

The fair value of each of the Company's seven reporting units, excluding Tutor which was acquired in December 2012, exceed their carrying values by more than 20% at October 1, 2012, the date of our most recent annual impairment assessment.

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives

Long-lived assets, which consist of property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is deemed not to be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is computed either on a straight-line basis or based on the period in which the economic benefits of the asset will be realized.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of the Company's Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. See Note 9 for a discussion of fair value measurements made using Level 3 inputs.

The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, as well as equity and cost method investments, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs. See Note 6 for a discussion of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and Note 8 for a discussion of impairment charges related to equity and cost method investments.

Traffic Acquisition Costs

Traffic Acquisition Costs

Traffic acquisition costs consist of payments made to partners who distribute our B2B customized browser-based applications, integrate our paid listings into their websites or direct traffic to our websites. These payments include amounts based on revenue share and other arrangements. The Company expenses these payments as a component of cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred (when the advertisement first runs for production costs that are initially capitalized) and represent online marketing, including fees paid to search engines and third parties that distribute our B2C downloadable applications, and offline marketing, principally television and radio advertising. Advertising expense is $779.7 million, $497.2 million and $371.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company capitalizes and amortizes the costs associated with certain distribution arrangements that require it to pay a fee per access point delivered. These access points are generally in the form of downloadable applications associated with our B2C operations. These fees are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the access points to the extent the Company can reasonably estimate a probable future economic benefit and the period over which such benefit will be realized (generally 18 months). Otherwise, the fees are charged to expense as incurred.

Legal Costs

Legal Costs

Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest, net of any applicable related income tax benefit, on potential income tax contingencies as a component of income tax expense.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to IAC shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vested resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses

The financial position and operating results of substantially all foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and local currency revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses resulting from assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statement of operations as a component of other (expense) income, net.

Translation gains and losses relating to foreign entities that are liquidated or substantially liquidated are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. Such gains totaled $9.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, and are included in "Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is generally expensed over the requisite service period. See Note 14 for a further description of the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

In connection with the acquisition of certain subsidiaries, management of these businesses has retained an ownership interest. The Company is party to fair value put and call arrangements with respect to these interests. These put and call arrangements allow management of these businesses to require the Company to purchase their interests or allow the Company to acquire such interests at fair value, respectively. These put and call arrangements become exercisable by the Company and the counter-party at various dates over the next four years. There are no put and call arrangements that became exercisable during 2012 and 2010. During 2011, one of these arrangements became exercisable. These put arrangements are exercisable by the counter-party outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, to the extent that the fair value of these interests exceeds the value determined by normal noncontrolling interest accounting, the value of such interests is adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded adjustments of $4.3 million, $4.3 million and $(2.1) million, respectively, to increase (reduce) these interests to fair value.

Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated subsidiaries of the Company should ordinarily be reported on the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders' equity, separately from the Company's equity. However, securities that are redeemable at the option of the holder and not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of shareholders' equity. Accordingly, if redemption of the noncontrolling interests is outside the control of the Company, the interests are included outside of shareholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2012 and 2011 primarily relate to Meetic and certain operations included in the Media and Other segments. Redeemable noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2010 primarily relate to the international operations of Match and certain operations included in the Media and Other segments.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2012 and 2011 relate principally to Meetic.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

Certain Risks and Concentrations

A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from online advertising, the market for which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant changes in this industry or changes in advertising spending behavior or in customer buying behavior could adversely affect our operating results. Most of the Company's online advertising revenue is attributable to a services agreement with Google, which expires on March 31, 2016. Our services agreement requires that we comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Subject to certain limitations, Google may unilaterally update its policies and guidelines, which could in turn require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of, our products, services and/or business practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, revenue earned from Google is $1.4 billion, $970.4 million and $727.9 million, respectively. This revenue is earned by the businesses comprising the Search & Applications segment. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $125.3 million and $105.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company's business is subject to certain risks and concentrations including dependence on third party technology providers, exposure to risks associated with online commerce security and credit card fraud.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with financial institutions and are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

12 Months Ended

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

IAC currently has two active plans under which awards have been granted. These plans cover stock options to acquire shares of IAC common stock, RSUs, PSUs and restricted stock, as well as provide for the future grant of these and other equity awards. These plans authorize the Company to grant awards to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. At December 31, 2012, there are 3.6 million shares available for grant under the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

The plans were adopted in 2005 and 2008, have a stated term of ten years, and provide that the exercise price of stock options granted will not be less than the market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The plans do not specify grant dates or vesting schedules of awards as those determinations have been delegated to the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of IAC's Board of Directors (the "Committee"). Each grant agreement reflects the vesting schedule for that particular grant as determined by the Committee. Broad-based stock option awards to date have generally vested in equal annual installments over a four-year period and RSU awards currently outstanding generally vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period, in each case, from the grant date. PSU awards to date generally cliff vest at the end of a two to three-year period from the date of grant. In addition to equity awards outstanding under the two plans, stock options and other equity awards outstanding under terminated plans and plans assumed in acquisitions are reflected in the information set forth below.

The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations is reduced by estimated forfeitures, as the expense recorded is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date based on historical experience and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimated rate.

The total income tax benefit recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 related to stock-based compensation is $31.3 million, $32.7 million and $32.2 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2012, there is $92.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

Stock Options

A summary of changes in outstanding stock options is as follows:

	December 31, 2012

	10,460	7.2	$	33.68	4,518	5.2	$	25.33

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between IAC's closing stock price on the last trading day of 2012 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2012. This amount changes based on the fair market value of IAC's common stock. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is $84.8 million, $70.6 million and $16.4 million, respectively.

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Approximately 3.6 million, 2.6 million and 2.4 million stock options were granted by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various assumptions, including expected volatility and expected term. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, expected stock price volatilities were estimated based on the Company's historical volatility. The risk-free interest rates are based on U.S. Treasury yields for notes with comparable terms as the awards, in effect at the grant date. The following are the weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2010
Expected volatility	31	%	30	%	30	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.6	%	2.3	%	2.4	%
Expected term	4.4 years		6.1 years		5.6 years
Dividend yield	1.2		—		—

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 with exercise prices equal to the market prices of IAC's common stock on the date of grant are $10.69, $11.08 and $6.38, respectively. The weighted average exercise price and weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2010 with exercise prices greater than the market value of IAC's common stock on the date of grant are $60.00 and $7.61, and $32.00 and $11.05, respectively. There are no stock options issued during the year ended December 31, 2011 with exercise prices greater than the market value of IAC's common stock on the date of grant.

Cash received from stock option exercises and the related tax benefit realized for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are: $58.2 million and $74.3 million; $89.8 million and $25.5 million; and $39.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance-based Stock Units

RSUs and PSUs are awards in the form of phantom shares or units, denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of IAC common stock and with the value of each RSU and PSU equal to the fair value of IAC common stock at the date of grant. RSUs and PSUs may be settled in cash, stock or both, as determined by the Committee at the time of grant. Each RSU and PSU grant is subject to service-based vesting, where a specific period of continued employment must pass before an award vests. PSUs also include performance-based vesting, where certain performance targets set at the time of grant must be achieved before an award vests. The Company recognizes expense for all RSUs and PSUs for which vesting is considered probable. For RSU grants, the expense is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation over the vesting term. For PSU grants, the expense is measured at the grant date as the fair value of IAC common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation over the vesting term if the performance targets are considered probable of being achieved.

Nonvested RSUs and PSUs outstanding at December 31, 2012 and changes during the year ended December 31, 2012 are as follows:

	RSUs				PSUs
	Number of shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of shares(a)		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(Shares in thousands)
Nonvested at January 1, 2012	560		$	31.06	4,541		$	24.41

Forfeited	—		—		(616	)	28.44
Nonvested at December 31, 2012	370		$	39.94	1,270		$	29.39

_______________________________________________________________________________

(a) Included in the table are PSUs which vest at the end of two or three years in varying amounts depending upon certain performance conditions. The PSU table above includes these awards at their maximum potential payout.

The weighted average fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 based on market prices of IAC's common stock on the grant date was $46.24, $32.41 and $23.05, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs and PSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $139.0 million, $33.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively.

Equity Instruments Denominated in the Shares of Certain Subsidiaries

IAC has granted phantom equity units and stock options in various operating subsidiaries to certain members of the subsidiaries' management. These equity awards vest over a period of years or upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. In some cases, IAC has taken a preferred interest in the subsidiary with a face value equal to the subsidiary's acquisition price or, when funding a start-up business, its investment cost, or a certain other fixed amount. In some cases, these preferred interests accrete with paid-in-kind dividends at a prescribed rate of return. The value of the phantom equity units and stock options is tied to the value of the common stock of the entity, with the equity awards management receives as a whole generally representing a small minority of the total common stock outstanding. Accordingly, these interests only have value to the extent the relevant business appreciates in value above the preferred interest (including the accretion of dividends), our investment cost or other fixed amount or, in the case of stock options, the initial value utilized to determine the exercise price. These interests can have significant value in the event of significant appreciation. The interests are ultimately settled in IAC common stock or cash at the option of IAC, with fair market value generally determined by negotiation or arbitration, at various dates through 2019. The expense associated with these equity awards is initially measured at fair value at the grant date and is expensed as non-cash compensation over the vesting term. The aggregate number of IAC common shares that would be required to settle these interests at current estimated fair values, including vested and unvested interests, at December 31, 2012 is 2.0 million shares, which is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. The comparable amount at December 31, 2011 is 2.2 million shares.

COMMITMENTS

The Company leases land, office space, data center facilities and equipment used in connection with its operations under various operating leases, many of which contain escalation clauses. The Company is also committed to pay a portion of the related operating expenses under a data center lease agreement. These operating expenses are not included in the table below.

Future minimum payments under operating lease agreements are as follows:

Years Ending December 31,	(In thousands)
2013	$	24,071
2014	25,565
2015	23,812
2016	23,268
2017	20,593
Thereafter	210,798
Total	$	328,107

Expenses charged to operations under these agreements are $30.6 million, $31.3 million and $31.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company's most significant operating lease is a 77 year ground lease for IAC's headquarters building in New York City and approximates 55% of the future minimum payments due under all operating lease agreements in the table above.

The Company also has funding commitments that could potentially require its performance in the event of demands by third parties or contingent events as follows:

	Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Period
	Total Amounts Committed		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years
	(In thousands)
Letters of credit	$	2,780	$	2,780	$	—	$	—

Total commercial commitments	$	43,889	$	21,565	$	22,233	$	91

The letters of credit support the Company's casualty insurance program. The purchase obligations primarily include advertising commitments, which commitments are reducible or terminable such that these commitments can never exceed associated revenue by a meaningful amount. Purchase obligations also include minimum payments due under telecommunication contracts related to data transmission lines.

Auction rate security

The Company's auction rate security is valued by discounting the estimated future cash flow streams of the security over the life of the security. Credit spreads and other risk factors are also considered in establishing fair value. The cost basis of the auction rate security is $10.0 million, with gross unrealized losses of $1.9 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The unrealized losses are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2012, the auction rate security is rated A-/WR and matures in 2035. The Company does not consider the auction rate security to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2012, due to its high credit rating and because the Company does not intend to sell this security, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell this security, before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

Contingent consideration arrangement

On January 20, 2011, Match acquired OkCupid for $50.0 million in cash, plus potential additional consideration of up to $40.0 million that was contingent upon OkCupid's 2011 earnings performance. During the second quarter of 2011, the provisions of this contingent consideration arrangement were amended. Pursuant to the amendment, $30.0 million was paid to the former owners of OkCupid, and a potential additional payment of up to $10.0 million was contingent upon revised performance goals. The fair value of the OkCupid contingent consideration arrangement at December 31, 2011 was based upon the achievement of the performance goals which required a $10.0 million payment.

The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. The fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, is estimated using quoted market prices or indices for similar liabilities and taking into consideration other factors such as credit quality and maturity. See Note 2 for description of the method used to determine the fair value of marketable securities and long-term marketable equity securities. The fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, is determined only for disclosure purposes and is based on Level 3 inputs.

The current income tax payable was reduced by $57.1 million, $22.2 million and $10.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for excess tax deductions attributable to stock-based compensation including settlements of vested stock-based awards denominated in subsidiaries' equity. The related income tax benefits are recorded as increases to additional paid-in capital.

The tax effects of cumulative temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below. The valuation allowance is related to items for which it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.

Net deferred tax liability	$	(302,975	)	$	(260,117	)

Included in "Other current assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 and 2011 is a current deferred tax asset of $20.3 million and $41.0 million, respectively, and included in "Other non-current assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 and 2011 is a non-current deferred tax asset of $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In addition, included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 is a current deferred tax liability of $0.4 million.

At December 31, 2012, the Company has federal and state net operating losses ("NOLs") of $29.6 million and $92.1 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal NOLs will expire at various times between 2023 and 2032, and the state NOLs will expire at various times between 2013 and 2032. Utilization of federal NOLs will be subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, utilization of certain state NOLs may be subject to limitations under state laws similar to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. At December 31, 2012, the Company has foreign NOLs of $46.5 million available to offset future income. Of these foreign NOLs, $40.0 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $6.5 million will expire at various times between 2013 and 2032. During 2012, the Company recognized tax benefits related to NOLs of $2.1 million. Included in this amount is $0.6 million of tax benefits of acquired attributes which was recorded as a reduction in goodwill. At December 31, 2012, the Company has $8.9 million of federal capital losses and $248.4 million of state capital losses. If not utilized, the federal and state capital losses will expire between 2013 and 2017. Utilization of capital losses will be limited to the Company's ability to generate future capital gains.

At December 31, 2012, the Company has tax credit carryforwards of $14.9 million. Of this amount, $4.6 million related to federal credits for foreign taxes, $8.8 million related to state tax credits for research activities, and $1.4 million related to various state and local tax credits. Of these credit carryforwards, $10.2 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $4.6 million will expire within ten years.

During 2012, the Company's valuation allowance increased by $15.7 million primarily due to an unbenefited other-than-temporary impairment and unrealized losses in long-term marketable equity securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income and an increase in federal net operating losses. At December 31, 2012, the Company has a valuation allowance of $60.8 million related to the portion of tax loss carryforwards and other items for which it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.

A reconciliation of the income tax provision (benefit) to the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes is shown as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Income tax provision at the federal statutory rate of 35%	$	101,172		$	60,033		$	7,940

Other, net	11,827			5,070			4,302
Income tax provision (benefit)	$	119,215		$	(4,047	)	$	32,079

No income taxes have been provided on indefinitely reinvested earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries aggregating $402.2 million at December 31, 2012. The amount of the unrecognized deferred income tax liability with respect to such earnings is $93.3 million.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, is as follows:

	December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Balance at January 1	$	351,561		$	389,909		$	394,294
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year	6,278			1,749			3,060
Additions for tax positions of prior years	45,287			9,560			9,897
Reductions for tax positions of prior years	(17,545		)	(26,595		)	(13,164		)
Settlements	(5,349		)	(16,810		)	(1,025		)
Expiration of applicable statute of limitations	(951		)	(6,252		)	(3,153		)
Balance at December 31	$	379,281		$	351,561		$	389,909

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, are $496.8 million and $462.8 million, respectively. The total unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 include $14.5 million that have been netted against the related deferred tax assets. Of the remaining balance, $468.2 million is reflected in "non-current income taxes payable" and $14.1 million is reflected in "accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012. Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by $34.0 million due principally to a net increase in deductible timing differences and additions for tax positions related to prior years. Included in unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 is $75.7 million relating to tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. If unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 are subsequently recognized, $110.8 million and $222.3 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2011 are subsequently recognized, $89.5 million and $213.6 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax expense from continuing operations and discontinued operations, respectively.

The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax provision. Included in the income tax provision for continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is a $5.2 million expense, $1.4 million expense and $9.1 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes of $3.1 million, $0.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. Included in income tax provision for discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is a $2.8 million benefit, $6.7 million expense and $7.0 million expense, respectively, net of related deferred taxes of $1.7 million, $4.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, for interest on unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has accrued $117.5 million and $111.2 million, respectively, for the payment of interest. Included in the income tax provision for continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 is a $0.4 million expense for an increase in penalties on unrecognized tax benefits. Included in income tax provision for continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 is a $2.5 million benefit for a reduction in penalties on unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has accrued $5.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for penalties.

The Company is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has substantially completed its audit of the Company's tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2009. The settlement of these tax years has not yet been submitted to the Joint Committee of Taxation for approval. The statute of limitations for the years 2001 through 2009 has been extended to December 31, 2013, and we expect it to be extended further. Various state and local jurisdictions are currently under examination, the most significant of which are California, New York and New York City for various tax years beginning with 2005. Income taxes payable include reserves considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. Changes to reserves from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised in audits and amounts previously provided may be material. Differences between the reserves for income tax contingencies and the amounts owed by the Company are recorded in the period they become known. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $122.2 million within twelve months of the current reporting date, of which approximately $13.4 million could decrease income tax provision, primarily due to settlements, expirations of statutes of limitations, and the reversal of deductible temporary differences that will primarily result in a corresponding decrease in net deferred tax assets. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits, while potentially significant, cannot be made.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The overall concept that IAC employs in determining its operating segments is to present the financial information in a manner consistent with how the chief operating decision maker and executive management view the businesses, how the businesses are organized as to segment management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of services or products offered or the target market. Operating segments are combined for reporting purposes if they meet certain aggregation criteria, which principally relate to the similarity of their economic characteristics or, in the case of Other, do not meet the quantitative thresholds that require presentation as separate operating segments.

_______________________________________________________________________________

(a) The Company's primary metric is Operating Income Before Amortization, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (3) goodwill impairment and (4) one-time items. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it represents the operating results from IAC's segments, taking into account depreciation, which it believes is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the effects of any other non-cash expenses. Operating Income Before Amortization has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to IAC's statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation and acquisition related accounting. IAC endeavors to compensate for the limitations of the non-U.S. GAAP measure presented by providing the comparable U.S. GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence, financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-U.S. GAAP measure.

(b) Consistent with the Company's primary metric (described in (a) above), the Company excludes, if applicable, goodwill and intangible assets from the measure of segment assets presented above.

Revenue by geography is based on where the customer is located. Geographic information about revenue and long-lived assets is presented below:

Acquisition of About, Inc.

On September 24, 2012, IAC completed its purchase of all the outstanding shares of About, Inc. (“The About Group”), an online content and reference library offering expert, quality content across 90,000 topics. The purchase price was $300 million in cash, plus an amount equal to the net working capital of $17.1 million at closing.

The financial results of The About Group are included in IAC's consolidated financial statements, within the Search & Applications segment, beginning October 1, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company included $30.1 million of revenue and net earnings of $3.8 million in its consolidated statement of operations related to The About Group.

The table below summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

	(In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	998
Other current assets	22,657
Property and equipment	8,988
Goodwill	190,616
Intangible assets	103,289
Other assets	770
Total assets	327,318
Current liabilities	(7,027		)
Other long-term liabilities	(3,179		)
Net assets	$	317,112

The purchase price was based on the expected financial performance of The About Group, not on the value of the net identifiable assets at the time of acquisition, which resulted in a significant portion of the purchase price being attributed to goodwill. The expected financial performance of The About Group reflects that it is complementary and synergistic to the existing businesses of the Company's Search & Applications segment, particularly Ask.com.

Intangible assets are as follows:

	(In thousands)		Weighted-Average Useful Life (Years)
Indefinite-lived trade names	$	33,700	Indefinite
Content	47,800		4.0
Technology	12,789		3.0
Advertiser relationships	7,500		2.0
Customer lists	1,500		3.0
Total	$	103,289	3.6

The About Group's other current assets, property and equipment, other assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities were reviewed and adjusted to their fair values at the date of acquisition, as necessary. The fair value of trade names was determined using a relief from royalty method. The fair value of content was determined using an excess earnings method. The fair value of developed technology was determined using replacement cost. The fair value of advertiser relationships was determined using a "with and without" method, which determines the present value of profits that would be lost without the relationships. The fair value of customer lists was determined using an excess earnings method. The valuations of the intangible assets incorporate significant unobservable inputs and require significant judgment and estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows and the determination of royalty and discount rates. Substantially all of the amount attributed to goodwill is tax deductible.

Acquisition of Meetic

In 2009, Match acquired a 27% ownership interest in Meetic. Match accounted for this interest under the equity method of accounting through August 31, 2011. During the third quarter of 2011, Match acquired an additional 12.5 million shares of Meetic for $272.0 million in cash pursuant to a tender offer. These additional shares increased Match's voting interest and ownership interest in Meetic to 79% and 81%, respectively, resulting in Match obtaining a controlling financial interest in Meetic. Accordingly, this purchase was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the financial results of Meetic are included within IAC's consolidated financial statements and the Match operating segment beginning September 1, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company included $46.1 million of revenue, net of a $32.6 million write-off of deferred revenue, and a net loss of $8.6 million in its consolidated statement of operations related to Meetic.

Pro forma financial information

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of IAC, Meetic and The About Group as if the acquisition of The About Group had occurred on January 1, 2011 and the acquisition of Meetic had occurred on January 1, 2010. The pro forma financial information includes adjustments required under the acquisition method of accounting and is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the results would have been had the acquisitions actually occurred on the dates specified above.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying value. The Company also reviews definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a definite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. The Company performs its annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1 in connection with the preparation of its annual financial statements.

The Company determines the fair values of its reporting units using discounted cash flow ("DCF") analyses, and typically corroborates the concluded fair value using a market based valuation approach. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. The expected cash flows used in the DCF analyses are based on the Company's most recent budget and, for years beyond the budget, the Company's estimates, which are based, in part, on forecasted growth rates. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows of the respective reporting units. Assumptions used in the DCF analyses, including the discount rate, are assessed annually based on the reporting units' current results and forecast, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rates used in the Company's annual goodwill impairment assessment ranged from 13% to 25% in 2012 and 13% to 20% in 2011.

The Company determines the fair values of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using avoided royalty DCF analyses. Significant judgments inherent in these analyses include the selection of appropriate royalty and discount rates and estimating the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The discount rates used in the DCF analyses reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows generated by the respective intangible assets. The royalty rates used in the DCF analyses are based upon an estimate of the royalty rates that a market participant would pay to license the Company's trade names and trademarks. Assumptions used in the avoided royalty DCF analyses, including the discount rate and royalty rate, are assessed annually based on the actual and projected cash flows related to the asset, as well as macroeconomic and industry specific factors. The discount rates used in the Company's annual indefinite-lived impairment assessment ranged from 10% to 18% in 2012 and 13% to 20% in 2011, and the royalty rates used ranged from 1% to 9% in both 2012 and 2011.

In connection with its annual assessment in 2010, the Company identified and recorded impairment charges at the Other segment related to the write-down of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of Shoebuy of $28.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and the write-down of an indefinite-lived intangible asset of Search & Applications of $11.0 million. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge at Shoebuy related to trade names and trademarks. The goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges at Shoebuy reflected expectations of lower revenue and profit performance in future years due to Shoebuy's 2010 fourth quarter revenue and profit performance, which is its seasonally strongest quarter. The indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge at Search & Applications was primarily due to lower future revenue projections associated with a trade name and trademark based largely upon the impact of 2010's full year results.

The indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible asset impairment charges are included in amortization of intangibles in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS

The balance of long-term investments is comprised of:

	December 31,
	2012		2011
	(In thousands)
Cost method investments	$	113,830	$	82,318
Long-term marketable equity securities	31,244		74,691
Equity method investments	8,104		10,873
Auction rate security	8,100		5,870
Total long-term investments	$	161,278	$	173,752

Cost method investments

In the third quarter of 2011, the Company acquired a 20% interest in Zhenai Inc. ("Zhenai"), a leading provider of online matchmaking services in China. Our voting power is limited by a shareholders agreement. In light of this limitation and the significance of our interest relative to other shareholders, we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of Zhenai and this investment is accounted for as a cost method investment.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a $7.8 million impairment charge related to the write-down of a cost method investment to fair value. The impairment charge was determined to be other-than-temporary due to the investee's inability to achieve its 2010 cash flow forecast during its seasonally strongest fourth quarter and the Company's assessment that the investee would be unable to continue to operate without new outside financing. The impairment charge is included in "Other (expense) income, net" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Long-term marketable equity securities

The cost basis of the Company's long-term marketable equity securities at December 31, 2012 is $42.1 million, with a gross unrealized loss of $10.8 million included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The cost basis of the Company's long-term marketable equity securities at December 31, 2011 is $53.1 million, with gross unrealized gains of $29.8 million and a gross unrealized loss of $8.2 million included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2012, the Company's long-term marketable equity securities are both in an unrealized loss position. The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the unrealized losses. The Company recorded an $8.7 million other-than-temporary impairment charge related to the security that was in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than one year, based on the Company's evaluation of the near-term prospects of the issuer in relation to the severity (fair value was 50 percent less than cost) and duration of the unrealized loss. The impairment charge is included in “Other (expense) income, net” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company does not consider the second security to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2012 based on the Company's evaluation of the near term prospects of the issuer in relation to the severity and duration, less than two months, of the unrealized loss and the Company's ability and intent to hold this security for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an expected recovery of fair value.

Equity method investments

In 2012, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash charge of $18.6 million related to the re-measurement of the carrying value of our equity method investment in News_Beast to fair value in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest in June 2012. The re-measurement charge is included in "Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

In 2011, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash charge of $11.7 million related to the re-measurement of the carrying value of our equity method investment in Meetic to fair value in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest in August 2011. The re-measurement charge is included in "Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded an $18.3 million impairment charge to write-down an equity method investment to fair value. The decline in value was determined to be other-than-temporary due to the investee's continued losses and negative operating cash flows. The Company estimated the fair value of its investment using a multiple of revenue approach. The impairment charge is included in "Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The comparability of the summarized aggregated financial information presented below is affected by changes in ownership of our various equity method investments over the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. The operating data for 2010 is primarily comprised of Meetic; the operating data for 2011 is primarily comprised of Meetic and News_Beast; and the operating data for 2012 is primarily comprised of News_Beast. The balance sheet data at December 31, 2011 is primarily comprised of News_Beast and the balance sheet data at December 31, 2012 is comprised of our equity method investments other than Meetic and News_Beast. During 2010 and through August 31, 2011 we accounted for our 27% ownership interest in Meetic as an equity method investment. In 2011 we acquired a controlling interest in Meetic and as a result, Meetic is included within our consolidated financial statements beginning September 1, 2011. During 2011 and through May 31, 2012 we accounted for our 50% ownership interest in News_Beast as an equity method investment. In 2012 we acquired a controlling interest in News_Beast and as a result, News_Beast is included within our consolidated financial statements beginning June 1, 2012.

__________________________________________________________________

(a) Amounts in 2010 include the gain on the Liberty Exchange.

(b) If the effect is dilutive, weighted average common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based stock units ("PSUs"). At December 31, 2012, there are no warrants outstanding. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 0.8 million and 1.0 million shares, respectively, related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(c) For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company has a loss from continuing operations and as a result, no potentially dilutive securities are included in the denominator for computing diluted earnings per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the weighted average basic shares outstanding are used to compute all earnings per share amounts. For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 36.3 million shares related to potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(d) Prior to 2012, no PSUs are included in diluted earnings per share. During 2012, there are approximately 2.7 million PSUs included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their performance conditions have been met. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 approximately 0.1 million, 3.1 million and 2.9 million PSUs are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Transactions for 2010

On December 1, 2010, in accordance with the Company's stock exchange agreement with Liberty, IAC exchanged $217.9 million in cash and all the outstanding shares of Celebrate Interactive, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC that held all the equity interests of Evite, Inc., Giftco, Inc. and IAC Advertising, LLC, for substantially all of Liberty's shares of IAC common stock and all of its shares of Class B common stock, which were valued at $364.2 million based on the closing price of IAC common stock on December 1, 2010.

On March 10, 2010, Match and Meetic completed a transaction in which Match contributed its Latin American business ("Match Latam") and Meetic contributed Parperfeito to a newly formed venture. These contributions, along with a $3.0 million payment from Match to Meetic, resulted in each party owning a 50% equity interest in the newly formed venture, which was valued at $72 million. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction as the fair value of the consideration received by Match equaled the fair value of the assets exchanged.

Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information:

During 2010, IAC received a dividend of $11.4 million from Meetic, which the Company deemed to be a partial return of its investment. Accordingly, the dividend is reflected as a cash inflow from an investing activity in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

(a) The second quarter of 2012 includes an after-tax non-cash charge of $16.2 million related to the re-measurement of the carrying value of our equity method investment in News_Beast to fair value in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest in June 2012.

(b) The third quarter of 2011 includes an after-tax non-cash charge of $11.7 million related to the re-measurement of the carrying value of Match's 27% equity method investment in Meetic to fair value (i.e., the tender offer price of €15.00 per share) in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest. The third quarter of 2011 also includes the reversal of a previously established deferred tax liability of $43.6 million in connection with the acquisition of Meetic.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation and Accounting for Investments

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Investments in entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee, but does not have a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in entities in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the investee are accounted for using the cost method. The Company evaluates each cost and equity method investment for impairment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment loss if a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. Such impairment evaluations include, but are not limited to: the current business environment, including competition; going concern considerations such as financial condition and the rate at which the investee company utilizes cash and the investee company's ability to obtain additional financing to achieve its business plan; the need for changes to the investee company's existing business model due to changing business environments and its ability to successfully implement necessary changes; and comparable valuations. If the Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of a cost method investment, then the fair value of such cost method investment is not estimated, as it is impracticable to do so.

Accounting Estimates

Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to: the fair values of marketable securities and other investments; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the useful lives and recovery of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue reserves; the reserves for income tax contingencies; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered or merchandise is delivered to customers, the fee or price charged is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Deferred revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of the Company's rendering of services or delivery of merchandise.

Search & Applications

The Search & Applications segment's revenue consists principally of advertising revenue which is generated primarily through the display of paid listings in response to search queries, as well as from advertisements appearing on its destination search websites and portals and certain third party websites and the syndication of search results generated by Ask-branded destination search websites. The Company obtains the substantial majority of its paid listings from third-party providers, primarily Google Inc. ("Google"). Paid listings are priced on a price per click and when the Company delivers a user's click to a paid listing supplied by Google, Google bills the advertiser and shares a portion of its resulting paid listing fee with the Company. The Company recognizes paid listing revenue from Google when it delivers the user's click. In cases where the user's click is generated by a third party site, the Company recognizes the amount due from Google as revenue and records the revenue share obligation to the third-party site as traffic acquisition costs.

Match

Match's revenue consists primarily of subscription fee revenue generated from customers who subscribe to online personals services on Match.com and most of Match's other personals websites. Subscription fee revenue is recognized over the terms of the applicable subscriptions, which primarily range from one to six months. Deferred revenue at Match is $103.9 million and $94.9 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Match also earns revenue from online advertising, primarily from OkCupid, which was acquired in January 2011. Online advertising revenue is recognized every time an ad is displayed.

Local

HomeAdvisor's lead acceptance revenue is generated and recognized when an in-network home service professional is delivered a consumer lead. HomeAdvisor's activation revenue is generated through the enrollment and activation of a new home service professional. Activation revenue is initially deferred and recognized over 24 months. Deferred revenue at HomeAdvisor is $3.0 million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

CityGrid Media's revenue is primarily generated through the sale of local and national online advertising. There are several types of internet advertisements, and the way in which advertising revenue is earned varies among them. Depending upon the terms, revenue might be earned every time a user clicks on an ad, every time an ad is displayed, or every time a user clicks-through on the ad and takes a specified action on the destination site.

Media

Revenue of media businesses included in this segment is generated primarily through advertising, media production and subscriptions. Advertising revenue is recognized every time an ad is displayed or over the period earned, media production revenue is recognized based on delivery and acceptance and subscription fee revenue is recognized over the terms of the applicable subscriptions, which are one month or one year.

Other

Shoebuy's revenue consists of merchandise sales, reduced by incentive discounts and sales returns, and is recognized when delivery to the customer has occurred. Delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership, which is on the date of shipment. Accruals for returned merchandise are based on historical experience. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as revenue. The costs associated with shipping goods to customers are recorded as cost of revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments, with maturities of less than 91 days from the date of purchase. Domestically, cash equivalents primarily consist of AAA rated money market funds. Internationally, cash equivalents primarily consist of AAA rated money market funds and time deposits.

Marketable Securities

The Company invests in certain marketable securities, which primarily consist of short-to-intermediate-term debt securities issued by investment grade corporate issuers. The Company only invests in marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity and the ability to readily convert investments into cash to fund current operations or satisfy other cash requirements as needed. From time to time, the Company may invest in marketable equity securities as part of its investment strategy. All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The specific-identification method is used to determine the cost of securities sold and the amount of unrealized gains and losses reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings.

The Company employs a methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential other-than-temporary impairments of its investments. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in current earnings and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue reserves. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the specific customer's ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy and the customer's industry. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. The Company also maintains allowances to reserve for potential credits issued to customers or other revenue adjustments. The amount of these reserves are based, in part, on historical experience.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Asset Category	Estimated Useful Lives
Buildings and leasehold improvements	3 to 39 Years
Computer equipment and capitalized software	2 to 3 Years
Furniture and other equipment	3 to 10 Years

The Company capitalizes certain internal use software costs including external direct costs utilized in developing or obtaining the software and compensation and other employee-related costs for personnel directly associated with the development of the software. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. During 2011, the Company wrote-off $4.9 million in capitalized software costs associated with the exit of the Company's direct sponsored listings business. The net book value of capitalized internal use software is $33.4 million and $29.2 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill acquired in business combinations is assigned to the reporting unit(s) that are expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying value. In 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment", which gives companies the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, no further assessment of that reporting unit's goodwill is necessary. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the goodwill must be tested using a two-step process based on prior accounting guidance, and if the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. The Company also adopted Accounting Standards Update 2012-02 "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" in 2012, which gives companies the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, the fair value of the asset does not need to be determined. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, then the indefinite-lived intangible asset must be tested based on prior accounting guidance, and if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. See Note 6 for discussion of impairment charges recorded in 2010. There are no impairment charges recorded in 2012 and 2011.

The Company's reporting units are consistent with its determination of its operating segments. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company's operating segments, reporting units and reportable segments are as follows:

Operating Segment and Reporting Unit	Reportable Segment
Search & Applications	Search & Applications
Match	Match
HomeAdvisor	Local
CityGrid Media	Local
Connected Ventures	Media
DailyBurn	Media
Shoebuy	Other
Tutor	Other

Media and Other include other operating segments that do not have goodwill. See Note 15 for additional information regarding the Company's method of determining operating and reportable segments.

The fair value of each of the Company's seven reporting units, excluding Tutor which was acquired in December 2012, exceed their carrying values by more than 20% at October 1, 2012, the date of our most recent annual impairment assessment.

Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets with Definite Lives

Long-lived assets, which consist of property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is deemed not to be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is computed either on a straight-line basis or based on the period in which the economic benefits of the asset will be realized.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

• Level 1: Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of the Company's Level 2 financial assets are primarily obtained from observable market prices for identical underlying securities that may not be actively traded. Certain of these securities may have different market prices from multiple market data sources, in which case an average market price is used.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. See Note 9 for a discussion of fair value measurements made using Level 3 inputs.

The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, as well as equity and cost method investments, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominantly on Level 3 inputs. See Note 6 for a discussion of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and Note 8 for a discussion of impairment charges related to equity and cost method investments.

Traffic Acquisition Costs

Traffic acquisition costs consist of payments made to partners who distribute our B2B customized browser-based applications, integrate our paid listings into their websites or direct traffic to our websites. These payments include amounts based on revenue share and other arrangements. The Company expenses these payments as a component of cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed in the period incurred (when the advertisement first runs for production costs that are initially capitalized) and represent online marketing, including fees paid to search engines and third parties that distribute our B2C downloadable applications, and offline marketing, principally television and radio advertising. Advertising expense is $779.7 million, $497.2 million and $371.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company capitalizes and amortizes the costs associated with certain distribution arrangements that require it to pay a fee per access point delivered. These access points are generally in the form of downloadable applications associated with our B2C operations. These fees are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the access points to the extent the Company can reasonably estimate a probable future economic benefit and the period over which such benefit will be realized (generally 18 months). Otherwise, the fees are charged to expense as incurred.

Legal Costs

Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest, net of any applicable related income tax benefit, on potential income tax contingencies as a component of income tax expense.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to IAC shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vested resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses

The financial position and operating results of substantially all foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date, and local currency revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses resulting from assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statement of operations as a component of other (expense) income, net.

Translation gains and losses relating to foreign entities that are liquidated or substantially liquidated are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. Such gains totaled $9.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, and are included in "Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is generally expensed over the requisite service period. See Note 14 for a further description of the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

In connection with the acquisition of certain subsidiaries, management of these businesses has retained an ownership interest. The Company is party to fair value put and call arrangements with respect to these interests. These put and call arrangements allow management of these businesses to require the Company to purchase their interests or allow the Company to acquire such interests at fair value, respectively. These put and call arrangements become exercisable by the Company and the counter-party at various dates over the next four years. There are no put and call arrangements that became exercisable during 2012 and 2010. During 2011, one of these arrangements became exercisable. These put arrangements are exercisable by the counter-party outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, to the extent that the fair value of these interests exceeds the value determined by normal noncontrolling interest accounting, the value of such interests is adjusted to fair value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded adjustments of $4.3 million, $4.3 million and $(2.1) million, respectively, to increase (reduce) these interests to fair value.

Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated subsidiaries of the Company should ordinarily be reported on the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders' equity, separately from the Company's equity. However, securities that are redeemable at the option of the holder and not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of shareholders' equity. Accordingly, if redemption of the noncontrolling interests is outside the control of the Company, the interests are included outside of shareholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2012 and 2011 primarily relate to Meetic and certain operations included in the Media and Other segments. Redeemable noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2010 primarily relate to the international operations of Match and certain operations included in the Media and Other segments.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2012 and 2011 relate principally to Meetic.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from online advertising, the market for which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant changes in this industry or changes in advertising spending behavior or in customer buying behavior could adversely affect our operating results. Most of the Company's online advertising revenue is attributable to a services agreement with Google, which expires on March 31, 2016. Our services agreement requires that we comply with certain guidelines promulgated by Google. Subject to certain limitations, Google may unilaterally update its policies and guidelines, which could in turn require modifications to, or prohibit and/or render obsolete certain of, our products, services and/or business practices, which could be costly to address or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, revenue earned from Google is $1.4 billion, $970.4 million and $727.9 million, respectively. This revenue is earned by the businesses comprising the Search & Applications segment. Accounts receivable related to revenue earned from Google totaled $125.3 million and $105.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company's business is subject to certain risks and concentrations including dependence on third party technology providers, exposure to risks associated with online commerce security and credit card fraud.

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with financial institutions and are in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Description of Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock

With respect to matters that may be submitted to a vote or for the consent of IAC's shareholders generally, including the election of directors, each holder of shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock vote together as a single class. In connection with any such vote, each holder of IAC common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of IAC common stock held and each holder of IAC Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes for each share of IAC Class B common stock held. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of shares of IAC common stock, acting as a single class, are entitled to elect 25% of the total number of IAC's directors, and, in the event that 25% of the total number of directors shall result in a fraction of a director, then the holders of shares of IAC common stock, acting as a single class, are entitled to elect the next higher whole number of IAC's directors. In addition, Delaware law requires that certain matters be approved by the holders of shares of IAC common stock or holders of IAC Class B common stock voting as a separate class.

Shares of IAC Class B common stock are convertible into shares of IAC common stock at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, on a share-for-share basis. Such conversion ratio will in all events be equitably preserved in the event of any recapitalization of IAC by means of a stock dividend on, or a stock split or combination of, outstanding shares of IAC common stock or IAC Class B common stock, or in the event of any merger, consolidation or other reorganization of IAC with another corporation. Upon the conversion of shares of IAC Class B common stock into shares of IAC common stock, those shares of IAC Class B common stock will be retired and will not be subject to reissue. Shares of IAC common stock are not convertible into shares of IAC Class B common stock.

Except as described herein, shares of IAC common stock and IAC Class B common stock are identical. The holders of shares of IAC common stock and the holders of shares of IAC Class B common stock are entitled to receive, share for share, such dividends as may be declared by IAC's Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of IAC, the holders of shares of IAC common stock and the holders of shares of IAC Class B common stock are entitled to receive, share for share, all the assets of IAC available for distribution to its stockholders, after the rights of the holders of any IAC preferred stock have been satisfied.

On December 1, 2010, Mr. Diller, Chairman of the Board and Senior Executive of the Company, entered into an agreement with Liberty, pursuant to which Liberty exchanged with Mr. Diller an aggregate of 4.3 million shares of Class B common stock for the same number of shares of common stock held by Mr. Diller. In consideration of Mr. Diller waiving certain pre-existing rights under the Stockholders Agreement with respect to Liberty's transfer to IAC of shares of common stock and Class B common stock, the Company agreed to permit Mr. Diller to exchange with IAC, on a one-for-one basis, from time to time until September 1, 2011 up to 1.5 million shares of common stock for shares of Class B common stock. During 2011, Mr. Diller exchanged 1.5 million shares of common stock for 1.5 million shares of Class B common stock.

Further, on December 1, 2010, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement with Liberty. Under the agreement, Liberty agreed to exchange with IAC an aggregate of 4.3 million shares of common stock described above and an aggregate of 8.5 million shares of Class B common stock for the outstanding shares of Celebrate Interactive, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC, which owned all of the equity interests of Evite, Inc., Giftco, Inc. and IAC Advertising, LLC and $217.9 million in cash.

The shares of common stock and Class B common stock exchanged by Liberty represented substantially all of the shares of common stock and all of the shares of Class B common stock owned beneficially and/or of record by Liberty.

Following consummation of the above transactions, Mr. Diller has 5.8 million shares of IAC's outstanding Class B common stock.

At December 31, 2012, Mr. Diller has 42.5% of the outstanding total voting power of the Company.

Description of Preferred Stock

IAC's Board of Directors has the authority to designate, by resolution, the powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of preferred stock issued by IAC without any further vote or action by the shareholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued would have priority over shares of IAC common stock and shares of IAC Class B common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights or both. At December 31, 2012 and 2011 there is no preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Reserved Common Shares

In connection with equity compensation plans, 19.8 million shares of IAC common stock are reserved at December 31, 2012.
