NOTE 4—BUSINESS COMBINATION

        On January 20, 2011, Match acquired OkCupid for $50.0 million in cash, plus potential additional consideration that is contingent upon OkCupid's 2011 earnings performance. The amount of the additional contingent consideration ranges from $0 to $40.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at the acquisition date was $40.0 million and is included in "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability weighted earnings model, which incorporates significant unobservable inputs.
