The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, among others, intangible assets valuation, useful lives, excess and obsolete inventories, restructuring, legal contingencies, valuation allowances, provision for sales returns, and allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Management determines the appropriate classification of cash equivalents at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations at each balance sheet date. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds, primarily invested in U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency securities.

Fair Value

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The accounting standard for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting standard establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had cash of $186.3 million and $121.2 million, respectively, and cash equivalents of $58.8 million and $58.7 million, respectively, which are classified in the Level 1 hierarchy.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2012, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were maintained by financial institutions in the United States and its deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company believes that the financial institutions that hold its investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived primarily from sales to customers located in the United States who make payments through credit cards, sales of the Company's products in retail stores, sales of enterprise services, and revenue generated from online advertisements posted on the Company's websites. Credit card receivables settle relatively quickly and the Company's historical experience of credit card losses have not been material and have been within management’s expectations. Excluding amounts due from credit cards of customers, as of December 31, 2012, two Enterprise customers accounted for 26% and 12% of the Company’s net accounts receivable, respectively. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of net accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, one Enterprise customer accounted for 40% of the Company's net accounts receivable. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of net accounts receivable as of December 31, 2011.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost on a first-in, first-out basis or net realizable value. The value of inventories is reduced by estimates for excess and obsolete inventories. The estimate for excess and obsolete inventories is based upon management’s review of utilization of inventories in light of projected sales, current market conditions and market trends. Inventories are primarily raw materials and consist principally of paper, photo book covers and packaging supplies.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets, generally three to five years, and are allocated between cost of net revenues and operating expenses. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, or the lease term if shorter, generally three to seven years. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred.

Software and Website Development Costs

The Company capitalizes eligible costs associated with website development and software developed or obtained for internal use. Accordingly, the Company expenses all costs that relate to the planning and post implementation phases. Payroll and payroll related costs and stock based compensation incurred in the development phase are capitalized and amortized over the product’s estimated useful life, generally three years. Costs associated with minor enhancements and maintenance for the Company’s websites are expensed as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows which the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future cash flows arising from the asset using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the Company’s current business model.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of entities accounted for using the purchase method of accounting are estimated by management based on the fair value of assets received. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives which range from two to sixteen years, and the amortization is allocated between cost of net revenues and operating expenses. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.

For the Company’s annual goodwill impairment analysis, the Company operates under one reporting unit. The Company determined the fair value of its reporting unit based on its enterprise value. This reporting unit was not at risk of failing step one of the annual goodwill impairment test for years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Intellectual Property Prepaid Royalties

The Company has patent license agreements with various third parties. The Company has accounted for these agreements as prepaid royalties that are amortized over the remaining life of the patents. Amortization expense is recorded as a component of cost of revenue. The current portion of the prepaid royalty is recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and the long term portion is recorded in other assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from Consumer and Enterprise product sales, net of applicable sales tax, upon shipment of fulfilled orders, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured. Customers place Consumer product orders through the Company's websites and pay primarily using credit cards. Enterprise customers are invoiced upon fulfillment. Shipping charged to customers is recognized as revenue at the time of shipment.

For gift card sales and flash deal promotions through group buying websites, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, as it is the primary obligor, when redeemed items are shipped. Revenues from sales of prepaid orders on its websites are deferred until shipment of fulfilled orders or until the prepaid period expires. The Company’s share of revenue generated from its print to retail relationships, is recognized when orders are picked up by its customers at the respective retailer.

The Company provides its customers with a 100% satisfaction guarantee whereby products can be returned within a 30-day period for a reprint or refund. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated future returns based on historical data. The provision for estimated returns is included in accrued expenses.

The Company periodically provides incentive offers to its customers in exchange for setting up an account and to encourage purchases. Such offers include free products and percentage discounts on current purchases. Discounts, when accepted by customers, are treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction and are presented in net revenues. Production costs related to free products are included in cost of revenues upon redemption.

The Company’s advertising revenues are derived from the sale of online advertisements on its websites. Advertising revenues are recognized as “impressions” (i.e., the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users of the Company's websites) are delivered; as “clicks” (which are generated each time users of the Company's websites click through the advertisements to an advertiser’s designated website) are provided to advertisers; or ratably over the term of the agreement with the expectation that the advertisement will be delivered ratably over the contract period.

Restructuring Costs

The Company records restructuring costs when expenses are incurred. The Company accrues for lease termination costs when the restructuring event takes place. The Company accrues for severance once the total severance pool has been calculated, approved and communicated, and recognizes the expense ratably over the required service period, from the communication date to the exit date. The Company also accelerates depreciation using a revised economic life of the leasehold improvement assets.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, except for direct mail advertising which is expensed when the advertising first takes place. The Company did not have any capitalized direct mail costs at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Total advertising costs are a component of sales and marketing expenses and include print advertising, internet advertising, such as display ads and keyword search terms and TV and radio advertising. These amounts totaled approximately $69,938,000, $54,112,000 and $30,651,000 during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures stock based awards at fair value and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to its employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of income.

The cost of restricted stock awards and performance based restricted stock awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized for restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation expense associated with performance based restricted stock awards is recognized on an accelerated attribution model, and ultimately based on whether or not satisfaction of the performance criteria is probable. If in the future, situations indicate that the performance criteria are not probable, then no further compensation cost will be recorded, and any previous costs will be reversed.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by applying the statutory tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences between the financial reporting and tax filing bases of existing assets and liabilities are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. The Company is required to make subjective assumptions and judgments regarding its income tax exposures. Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in the Company’s subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of income.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and /or penalties related to all tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent that accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. No interest and penalties were accrued as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and Israel.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share attributed to common shares is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income per share attributed to common shares is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period, if the effect of each class of potential common shares is dilutive. Potential common shares include restricted stock units and incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income is composed of net income. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated statements of income reflect all changes in comprehensive income.

Segment Reporting

The Company reports as one operating segment with the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) being the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The Company’s CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has a single reporting unit and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results or components below the consolidated unit level.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing. Entities will be allowed to perform a qualitative assessment on goodwill impairment to determine whether a quantitative assessment is necessary. This guidance is effective for the Company's interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
