Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)

1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Angie’s List, Inc. (collectively with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates a national local services consumer review service and marketplace where members can research, shop for and purchase local services for critical needs, such as home, health and automotive services, as well as rate and review the providers of these services. Ratings and reviews, which are now available to members free-of-charge, assist members in identifying and hiring a highly-rated provider for their local service needs. The Company'sCompany’s services are provided in markets located across the continental United States.

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP were condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company'sCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20152016 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP, including certain notes thereto.

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly presentreport the results for the periods presented. Operating results from interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that mayto be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

For additional information, including a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company'sCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.

Operating Segments
 
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating segment.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and reported revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ReclassificationSignificant Accounting Policies

Other than as a result of the adoption of certain recent accounting pronouncements as discussed herein, there were no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017.

Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified for consistencyIn connection with the current period presentation, including the marketing compensation and personnel-related costs and general marketing operating expenditures that were moved from general and administrative expense and selling expense to marketing expense within the consolidated statementsCompany’s early adoption of operations. These reclassifications did not materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

As of January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03: Interest - Imputation2016-09 during the third quarter of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying2016, the PresentationCompany was required to record a modified retrospective transition adjustment at the time of Debt Issuance Costs, resultingadoption to reflect an increase in stock-based compensation expense for 2016 related to the Company’s forfeitures election under the new standard. Although this adjustment was recorded during the third quarter of 2016, given the modified retrospective nature of the adjustment, the Company was precluded from presenting the full amount of the adjustment for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and was instead required to update amounts previously reported, yielding a retrospective increase to general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. As a result, the general and administrative expense, operating income, net income and corresponding per share figures presented in the Company reclassifying the deferred financing fees previously recorded in other noncurrent assets, including $1,462 ascondensed consolidated statements of December 31, 2015, to net long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. There were no other material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-Koperations for the yearthree and six months ended December 31, 2015.June 30, 2016 differ from amounts previously reported.

Income Taxes - Valuation Allowance

The Company evaluates whether it will realize the benefits of its net deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of its deferred tax assets to the amount considered more likely than not to be recognized. Deferred tax assets arise as a result of tax loss carryforwards and various differences between the book basis and the tax basis of such assets. The Company periodically reviews the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the tax provision would be adjusted in the period in which the assessment is changed. There was no change to the Company'sCompany’s assessment during the three orand six month periods ended June 30, 2016.

While the Company reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, any taxable income for these periods will ultimately be reduced by net operating loss carryforwards.2017. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, and as a result, there is no federal income tax expense recorded in the condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.2017.

Contractual Obligations

The Company'sCompany’s contractual obligations primarily consist of short-term and long-term noncancellable operating leases expiring through 2021 and long-term debt comprised of a $60,000 term loan scheduled to mature on September 26, 2019. In March 2017, the Company provided notice of termination, effective May 1, 2018, of an operating lease for office space that was previously scheduled to conclude in April 2020, yielding a reduction in the Company’s future minimum lease payment obligations. There have beenwere no other significant changes in the Company'sCompany’s contractual obligations during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 from those disclosed in the Company'sCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016. Total combined future minimum payment obligations as of June 30, 2017 under short-term and long-term noncancellable operating leases amounted to approximately $8,152 as of June 30, 2016,$2,503, including $1,053 in 2017, $933 in 2018, $369 in 2019, $140 in 2020 and the$8 in 2021. The Company had $57,950$58,092 in outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized deferred financing fees and unamortized fees paid to the lender, under the term loan as of the same date.June 30, 2017.

Stock-Based Compensation

On June 29, 2016, the Company granted 3,034,329 performance awards of restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) under a long-term incentive plan (the “2016 LTIP”) to its executive officers and other members of the Company’s senior leadership team as of that date. The PRSUs granted are contingent upon the Company’s performance with respect to certain predetermined Total Cumulative Revenue targets over the 33-month period commencing April 1, 2016 and concluding December 31, 2018, subject to the Company'sCompany’s achievement of a predetermined cumulative Adjusted EBITDA threshold over the same time period. TheOf the 3,034,329 PRSUs granted, represent2,461,816 PRSUs remained outstanding as of June 30, 2017, representing the number of shares to be issued at the 100% target achievement level for this award. The decline from the number of PRSUs granted under the 2016 LTIP is due to forfeitures since the date of grant. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company cancelled the “stretch” component of the 2016 LTIP such that the maximum achievement level under this award is now the 100% target achievement level. Accordingly, the number of shares ultimately issued could be 0% or range from 75% (threshold achievement level) to 200% (maximum100% (target, and now maximum, achievement level) of the granted amountnumber of PRSUs outstanding, based on the Company'sCompany’s performance in relation to the performance conditions, and linear interpolation will be applied should Total Cumulative Revenue fall between the threshold and maximumtarget achievement levels. Any PRSUs earned under the 2016 LTIP will vest in full on May 31, 2019, subject to continued employment as of that date. The Company willevaluates whether or not to recognize stock-based compensation expense for these awards over the vesting period based on the probableprojected probability of achievement of the aforementioned performance conditions as of the end of each reporting period during the performance period and may periodically adjust the recognition of such expense, as necessary, in response to any changes in the Company’s forecasts with respect to the performance conditions. For the three and six monthsmonth periods ended June 30, 2016,2017, the Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense related to the 2016 LTIP based on the Company’s determination that achievement of the performance conditions was not material.probable as of that date.

Proposed Merger with IAC/HomeAdvisor

On May 1, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC”), ANGI Homeservices Inc. (f/k/a Halo TopCo, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC (“ANGI Homeservices”) and Casa Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of ANGI Homeservices (“Merger Sub”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with Merger Sub, and the Company’s stockholders may elect to receive, in exchange for each share of the Company’s common stock owned, either one share of ANGI Homeservices Class A common stock (“share consideration”), or $8.50 per share in cash, without interest (“cash consideration”). Elections by the Company’s stockholders for cash consideration will be subject to proration to the extent the total number of stockholders electing to receive cash consideration would result in payment of more than $130,000. The ANGI Homeservices Class A common stock issued in the Merger will possess one vote per share and is expected to be listed for trading on the NASDAQ following the completion of the Transactions. ANGI Homeservices will also issue shares of Class B common stock, possessing 10 votes per share, to IAC in exchange for the contribution by IAC of its HomeAdvisor business. Following the completion of the Transactions, depending on the number of Company stockholders electing to receive cash consideration, former stockholders of the Company will hold ANGI Homeservices Class A common stock representing between approximately 10% and 13% of the value and less than 2% of the total voting power of ANGI Homeservices stock, and IAC will hold ANGI Homeservices Class B common stock representing between approximately 87% and 90% of the economic interest and approximately 98% of the total voting power of ANGI Homeservices stock.

The completion of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including the receipt of the necessary approval from the Company’s stockholders, the satisfaction of certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. On July 13, 2017, the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 in connection with the Merger. The Transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Merger Agreement provides certain termination rights for the Company and IAC. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, such as the Company accepting a superior proposal or the Company’s Board of Directors withdrawing its recommendation regarding the Merger, the Company may be required to pay IAC a termination fee of $20,000.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred transaction-related costs of $4,429, which were recorded in general and administrative expense within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For additional information on the Merger Agreement, please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2017, including a copy of the Merger Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 thereto.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15: Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The amendments in this update add to or clarify existing U.S. GAAP guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018, but early adoption is permitted. The guidance set forth in this update must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented but may be applied prospectively if retrospective application would be impracticable. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective April 1, 2017, and no material impact on the consolidated financial statements occurred or is expected as a result of the adoption of this guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2020, but early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective April 1, 2017, and no material impact on the consolidated financial statements occurred or is expected as a result of the adoption of this guidance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09: Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). The amendments in this update clarify when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Under the guidance set forth in this update, entities will apply modification accounting if the value, vesting conditions or classification of a share-based payment award changes. ASU 2017-09 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018, but early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The amendments in this update add to U.S. GAAP a current expected credit loss impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, requiring consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. ASU 2016-13 is also intended to reduce the complexity of U.S. GAAP by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2020, but early adoption is permitted beginning in 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09: Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvementscontinues to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendments in this update simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2017, but early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingevaluate the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The amendments in this update require lessees, among other things, to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous authoritative guidance. This update also introduces new disclosure requirements for leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2019, but early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluatingexpects to adopt the guidance set forth in this update effective January 1, 2019. As reflected above within this same note, total future minimum payment obligations under existing operating lease obligations as of June 30, 2017 following the anticipated adoption date are not material to the consolidated financial statements. At the present time, there are two such leases in place that will remain in effect beyond the adoption of this update. Accordingly, although the Company continues to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-02, based on a preliminary assessment, the Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance set forth in this update to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01: Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). The amendments in this update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. In particular, the amendments in this update supersede, for public business entities, the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used in calculating the fair value of financial instruments required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018, but early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of the guidance set forth in this update will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). This update outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” This update also requires significantly expanded disclosures related to revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018 following the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14: Deferral of the Effective Date in August 2015, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”), amending the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance set forth in ASU 2014-09. Among other things, ASU 2016-08 clarifies that an entity should evaluate whether it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”), which amends certain aspects of the guidance set forth in the FASB'sFASB’s new revenue standard related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. In May 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-12: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”), amending certain aspects of ASU 2014-09 to address implementation issues identified by the FASB'sFASB’s transition resource group and clarify the new revenue standard'sstandard’s core revenue recognition principles. In December 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-20: Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2016-20”), which clarified or corrected unintended application of certain aspects of the new revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018 following the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14: Deferral of the Effective Date in August 2015, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year.

As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The Company has completed the diagnostic assessment phase of the implementation process, including preliminary assessment and project planning, revenue stream scoping and evaluation of internal controls implications. The following revenue streams were identified: membership revenue, service provider advertising revenue and service provider e-commerce revenue. The Company has now progressed to and is currently evaluatingin the future impact and methodmidst of the next phase of the implementation process, which entails, among other things, a detailed analysis of contracts selected for each identified revenue stream to assess whether there are any facts or circumstances leading the Company to conclude that an alternative pattern or recognition of revenue, or treatment of contract costs, will be necessary upon adoption of these updates with respectthe new standard. The significant implementation matters yet to be addressed under ASU 2014-09 include completion of the detailed contract analysis for certain revenue streams, concluding on the quantitative impact to the consolidated financial statements.statements, if any, determining the corresponding transition adjustment, if any, upon adoption and providing the required disclosures set forth under the new standard.

The Company currently anticipates adopting ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method of adoption. Accordingly, upon adoption, the Company currently anticipates recognizing the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance, if any, as an adjustment to the opening balance of the accumulated deficit within the consolidated balance sheet for the period of adoption, and prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. While the Company has completed a preliminary assessment of the key provisions of ASU 2014-09, the evaluation of the full impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures is ongoing, and the Company is therefore not yet able to reasonably estimate the financial statement impact of ASU 2014-09 upon adoption. The Company expects to expand the nature and extent of its disclosures with respect to revenue recognition following the adoption of ASU 2014-09, and the Company continues to actively monitor outstanding issues currently being addressed by the FASB’s Transition Resource Group as conclusions reached by this group may impact the Company’s application of the new standard.

2. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share isare computed by dividing consolidated net income (loss) by the basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, respectively, for the period. Basic net income (loss) per common share was $0.08$(0.13) and $(0.14)$0.08 for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and $0.01$(0.10) and $(0.07)$0.00 for the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. Diluted net income (loss) per common share was $0.08$(0.13) and $(0.14)$0.08 for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and $0.01$(0.10) and $(0.07)$0.00 for the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively.

3. Fair Value Measurements
 
Whenever possible, quoted prices in active markets are used to determine the fair value of the Company'sCompany’s financial instruments. The Company'sCompany’s financial instruments are not held for trading or other speculative purposes. The estimated fair value of financial instruments was determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may materially impact the estimated fair value amounts.
 
Fair Value Hierarchy
 
Fair value is based on the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), the Company categorized the financial assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, following the three-level fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820, as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available.

Valuation Techniques
 
The Company’s money market fund investments, the maturities for which are less than 90 days, are classified as cash equivalents within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy on the basis of valuations using quoted market prices. Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of more than 90 days but less than one year. As many fixed income securities do not trade daily, fair values are often derived using recent trades of securities with similar features and characteristics. When recent trades are not available, pricing models are used to determine these prices. These models calculate fair values by discounting future cash flows at estimated market interest rates. Such market rates are derived by calculating the appropriate spreads over comparable U.S. Treasury securities, based on the credit quality, industry and structure of the asset. Typical inputs and assumptions to pricing models include, but are not limited to, a combination of benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, liquidity, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. The Company’s fixed income certificates of deposit and U.S. Treasury securities and corporate bond investments with fixed maturities are valued using recent trades or pricing models and are therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
  
There were no movements between fair value measurement levels for the Company’s cash equivalents and investments in the first six months of 2016ended June 30, 2017 or in 2015,2016, and there were no material unrealized gains or losses as of June 30, 20162017 or December 31, 2015.2016.  

The following tables summarize the Company'sCompany’s financial instruments at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy for each class of instrument as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015:

The Company reviews its investment portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired, considering such factors as the duration, severity and reason for the decline in value as well as the potential recovery period. DuringThe Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses.2017 or 2016.

The carrying amount of the term loan approximates fair value, using Level 2 inputs, as this borrowing bears interest at a variable (market) rate at June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis under circumstances and events including those described in Note 6, “Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets,” that are adjusted to fair value in certain circumstances when the carrying values are more than the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets in the event of an impairment is considered a Level 3 measurement due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value.

Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value.

9.8. Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations. The Company assesses the likelihood of any judgments or outcomes with respect to these matters and determines loss contingency assessments on a gross basis after assessing the probability of incurrence of a loss and whether a loss is reasonably estimable. In addition, the Company considers other relevant factors that could impact its ability to reasonably estimate a loss. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analyzing each matter. The Company’s reserves may change in the future due to new developments or changes in strategy in handling these matters. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of the matters listed below will not have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can adversely impact the Company as a result of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Moore, et al. v. Angie's List, Inc., 2:15cv-01243-SD. On March 11, 2015, a lawsuit seeking class action status was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The lawsuit alleges claims for breaches of contract and the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud and fraudulent inducement, unjust enrichment and violation of Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law premised on the allegations that the Company does not disclose that it accepts advertising payments from service providers or that the payments allegedly will impact the service provider letter-grade ratings, the content and availability of reviews about the provider and the provider's place in search-result rankings. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on May 13, 2015, which was granted in part on August 7, 2015. In particular, the plaintiff's claims for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and unjust enrichment were dismissed from the action. The parties proceeded to exchange extensive written and document discovery and conducted depositions. Discovery closed on April 14, 2016. During the discovery period, certain other cases with similar allegations also were filed by some of the same plaintiffs’ counsel in federal court in California (Zygelman v. Angie's List, Inc., 3:16-cv-00276-SI) and New Jersey (Glick v. Angie's List, Inc., 2:16-cv-00546-MCA-MAH), each discussed below. Following mediation sessions held on April 4, 2016 and April 12, 2016, the parties executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) on April 19, 2016 to settle the claims on a class-wide basis. Among other relief, the settlement provides for a cash payment of up to $2,350 to create a fund for the payment of cash to settlement class members and for the payment of attorneys’ fees and costs to plaintiffs’ counsel as approved by the court. Settlement class members will have the option of sharing in the cash fund or selecting a free period of membership of up to four months depending on the date and length of their membership with Angie’s List. The settlement also provides certain prospective relief in the form of enhanced explanations in the Company's Membership Agreement and in responses to Frequently Asked Questions concerning, among other things, the advertising revenue earned from service providers. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded a $3,500 contingent liability related to this matter in the first quarter of 2016, and this amount includes the cost of the cash fund described above as well as the payment of reasonable notice and administration costs, attorneys’ fees and an assumption of revenue the Company will forego as a result of certain class members selecting the option for a free period of membership. As part of the settlement, plaintiffs' counsel filed, and the Company did not oppose, a motion to amend the complaint in the Moore matter to add both the Zygelman and Glick plaintiffs as named plaintiffs for settlement purposes only, as well as a motion for preliminary approval of a class-wide settlement. By order dated July 11, 2016, the court granted the motion to amend the complaint, and the conditional amended class action complaint was filed as of that date. On July 12, 2016, the court entered an order granting the unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the proposed class action settlement, which, among other things, ordered that notice of the settlement be provided to the settlement class and scheduled a fairness hearing for November 8, 2016. The proposed settlement remains subject to final court approval. 

Glick v. Angie's List, Inc., 2:16-cv-00546-MCA-MAH. On February 1, 2016, Gary Glick, an Angie's List member, filed a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The plaintiff alleged that the Company deceives its consumers by representing that service providers “can't pay” or “don't pay” to be on Angie's List, while concealing that service providers pay advertising fees to influence their search result ranking, and further asserts other claims substantially similar to those alleged in the Moore litigation. The plaintiff's complaint includes claims for breach of contract and for a violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. The Glick action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on July 13, 2016, in accordance with the aforementioned class action settlement.

Zygelman v. Angie's List, Inc., 3:16-cv-00276-SI. On January 15, 2016, Michelle Zygelman, an Angie's List member, filed a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiff alleged claims substantially similar to those in the Glick action but is seeking relief under California consumer protection statutes. The Zygelman action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice on July 14, 2016, in accordance with the aforementioned class action settlement.
Williams, et al. v. Angie’s List, Inc., 1:16-cv-878. On April 20, 2016, a group of former employees filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. The lawsuit alleges that the Company failed to pay (i) wages earned in a timely manner as required under Indiana Wage Statutes and (ii) overtime wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 206-07) and is requesting payment of all damages, including unpaid wages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other charges. A first and secondSix amended complaint wascomplaints were filed, adding additional named plaintiffs, and the Company’sCompany filed its answer to the secondsixth amended complaint was filed on July 26, 2016.April 10, 2017. The plaintiffs filed a motion for conditional certification on June 10, 2016, and the Company filed its response brief in opposition toon July 15, 2016. The Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for conditional certification on July 15, 2016.November 30, 2016 but allowed the plaintiffs to refile with a more narrow class definition. On December 9, 2016, the plaintiffs filed a renewed motion for conditional certification. The Company filed its response to the renewed motion on January 6, 2017, and the plaintiffs filed their reply on January 17, 2017. The Court denied the plaintiffs’ renewed motion for conditional certification on April 28, 2017. The Company is currently unable to determine the likely outcome or reasonably estimate the amount or range of potential liability, if any, related to this matter, and accordingly, has not established any reserve for this matter.

Crabtree, et al. v. Angie’s List, Inc., 1:16-cv-877. On April 20, 2016, three former employees filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. The lawsuit alleges that the Company failed to pay (i) wages earned in a timely manner as required under Indiana Wage Statutes and (ii) overtime wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §§ 206-07) and is requesting payment of all damages, including unpaid wages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other charges. The plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint in May 2016, adding one additional Indiana wage statute claim. The Company filed its answer and defenses on June 9, 2016. Discovery with respect to this matter is ongoing. The Company is currently unable to determine the likely outcome or reasonably estimate the amount or range of potential liability, if any, related to this matter, and accordingly, has not established any reserve for this matter.

Paul Parshall v. Angie’s List, Inc., et. al.; David Pill v. Angie’s List, Inc., et. al. On July 18, 2017 (Parshall) and July 20, 2017 (Pill), respectively, two putative securities class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, naming the Company, its directors and IAC, in connection with IAC’s acquisition of the Company. The lawsuits allege the Company and its directors violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by omitting certain financial information from the Form S-4 Registration Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Merger. Based on these allegations, the complaints seek equitable relief, including additional disclosure in the Form S-4 Registration Statement, an injunction of the Merger and costs and expenses of the litigation, including attorneys’ fees. As of the date of the filing of this report, the Company has not received notice of service of process in these matters. Based on the facts known to date, the Company considers the claims asserted to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Overview
 
We operate a national local services consumer review service and marketplace where members can research, shop for and purchase local services for critical needs, such as home, health and automotive services, as well as rate and review the providers of these services across the United States. Our ratings and reviews, which are now available to members free-of-charge, assist our members in identifying and hiring a highly-rated provider for their local service needs, and our dynamic tools and products provide members with multiple ways to get work done while reducing the time and effort required to hire a service provider.
Our long-term profitable growth plan, which we announced earlier this year, features a redefined product and service experience for members and service providers alike, transforming our legacy business model, by dropping the ratingswhich is designed to identify and reviews paywall. In additionleverage opportunities to free memberships,attract, engage and ultimately monetize traffic on our new modelplatforms, provides consumers with revamped tiered membership options offering an array of premium services at varying price points. Ultimately,points, including a free membership tier, and enables service providers will also be able to take advantage of a host of new services and tools under our new model based on the nature and extent of the service provider'stheir relationship with us.

Our long-term profitable growth plan entailsIn 2017, we are focused on three phaseskey priorities: (1) building products to be implemented over several years:

Strengthenincrease member engagement, (2) strengthening the value proposition to our service providers and Reposition the Core Business - includes redefining the paywall and launching premium consumer services, improving(3) continuing to improve our member experience by scaling our new platform and optimizing the service provider sales organization to better monetize consumer traffic;

Leverage the Home Services Platform - includes expanding value-added services provided on our platforms and improving our customer and service provider relationships with personalized offerings; and

Expand to Adjacencies - includes expanding our member and service provider bases and developing partnerships to provide additional value-added services.

Our new model is designed to identify and leverage more ways to attract, engage and ultimately monetize consumer and service provider traffic on our platforms.cost structure. During the second quarter of 2017, we made progress against each of these priorities. We experienced robust membership growth and had the highest number of visits to our site in our history, introduced a new request-a-review mobile application for our service providers and launched a redesigned consumer mobile application and certain other technology upgrades and enhancements aimed at improving the user experience for members and service providers alike. Additionally, we continued to leverage initiatives implemented in previous periods with respect to our cost structure to drive year over year reductions in operations and support, selling, marketing and general and administrative costs on a year-to-date basis.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we generated net losses of $8.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, on revenue of $72.8 million and $145.9 million, respectively. While we expected membership revenue to decline following our introduction of a free membership tier in 2016, we achieved three key milestones integralalso expected to the implementationmore than offset that decline with a combination of our long-term profitable growth plan: (1) completed the migrationpaid membership additions on premium tiers and increases in service provider revenue. Our progress with respect to our new technology platform, (2) droppedkey priorities for 2017 has not yet manifested in the form of revenue growth period over period, but as we continue to execute against our ratings and reviews paywall and launched our new tiered membershipbusiness model, and (3) optimized marketing and operations. Once fully implemented, we believe our long-term profitable growth planwe will enhance the value of our serviceservices and generate accelerated growth, retention andimproved engagement across our platforms, which we, in turn, believe will ultimately drive increased market penetration and meaningful revenue growth.growth over time.

We derive service provider revenue principally from term-based salesPlan of advertising, including on our websiteMerger (the “Merger Agreement”) with IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC”) pursuant to which we will be combined with IAC’s HomeAdvisor business into a new, publicly traded company, called ANGI Homeservices Inc. (“ANGI Homeservices”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will merge with a wholly owned subsidiary of ANGI Homeservices and mobile applications, in our publication and through our call center, to service providers meeting certain eligibility criteria. Our e-commerce solutions, which are available through postings on our website and mobile applications as well as via email promotions, offer members the opportunity to purchase services through us from highly-rated service providers and provide us with additional service provider monetization opportunities.

Market Cohort Analysis
We compile certain financial and operating data for our markets, grouped by the years in which the markets transitioned to paid membership status. Since our business has recently evolved, particularly with respect to the composition of our free and paid membership bases, we will no longer be including the market cohort analysis in future filings as we do not believe it will continue to provide a meaningful evaluation of our business. However, given that our prior paid membership model remained in place through early June 2016, we continued to utilize the market cohort analysis to understand and evaluate our performance and underlying trends in our business for the majority ofFor the three and six month periodsmonths ended June 30, 20162017, we incurred transaction-related costs of $4.4 million, which were recorded in general and determined it was appropriateadministrative expense within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The pre-2003 cohort includes our ten most established markets where we initially built out our business model. The markets in this cohort include several mid-sized urban markets in the Midwest as well as Chicago and Boston.

(1)Average revenue per market is calculated by dividing the revenue recognized for the markets in a given cohort by the number of markets in the cohort at period end.

(2)Average marketing expense per market is calculated by first allocating marketing expense to each cohort based on the percentage of our total target demographic for all markets in each cohort, as determined by third-party data, and then dividing the allocated cohort marketing expense by the number of markets in the cohort at period end. We calculate this average per market to facilitate comparisons among cohorts, but it is not intended to represent typical characteristics of actual markets within the cohort. According to demographic studies by Merkle Inc. that we commissioned in December and June of 2015, there were approximately 27 million households in the United States in our target demographic, which consists of homeowners aged 35 to 64 with an annual household income of at least $75,000, including 24 million households located in our markets. The December 2015 study determined that the average number of households per market in our target demographic was 370,000, 390,000 and 30,000 for the pre-2003, 2003-2007 and post-2007 cohorts, respectively, while the June 2015 study determined the average number of households per market in our target demographic to be 370,000, 380,000 and 30,000, respectively.

(3)Membership revenue per paid membership is calculated as membership revenue in the cohort divided by the average number of paid memberships in the cohort. We calculate this average per market to facilitate comparisons among cohorts, but it is not intended to represent typical characteristics of actual markets within the cohort.

(4)Service provider revenue per paid membership is calculated as service provider revenue in the cohort divided by the average number of paid memberships in the cohort. We calculate this average per market to facilitate comparisons among cohorts, but it is not intended to represent typical characteristics of actual markets within the cohort.

(5)Total paid memberships in each cohort as of June 30, 2015 includes a de minimis number of complimentary memberships in what formerly comprised our paid markets. These complimentary memberships are no longer included in our paid membership counts and are therefore not reflected in the paid membership totals presented in the table above for each cohort as of June 30, 2016.

(6)Estimated penetration rate is calculated by dividing the number of paid memberships in a given cohort as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, by the number of households meeting our target demographic criteria in that cohort.

(7)Annual membership growth rate represents the rate of increase in the total number of paid memberships in the cohort between June 30, 2016 and 2015 for 2016 and June 30, 2015 and 2014 for 2015.

Our average revenue per market has generally grown with the maturity and corresponding increased penetration of our markets. Total revenue per paid membership fluctuates from period to period, reflecting the impact of a variety of factors, including:

Our average service provider contract term typically approximates one year, and we do not increase rates for a given service provider prior to contract renewal. As such, there is a lag in our ability to leverage increased penetration in a market into increased advertising rates;

On average across all markets, we are utilizing lower membership pricing and generating reduced membership revenue per paid member as a result of our previous tiered pricing membership structure, and more recently, the introduction of a free membership tier for consumers. As our business evolves, we may again alter or refine our strategy with regard to membership pricing in the future;

Our approach to generating revenue from e-commerce continues to evolve as we refine the value proposition we offer to service providers and, concurrently, our service provider monetization strategies. Accordingly, we have in the past adjusted our approach with respect to e-commerce take rates in order to more effectively monetize our e-commerce offerings, and we may do so again in the future; and

As we implement and scale our new technology platform, we have experienced and may continue to experience revenue losses as a result of temporary disruptions common to significant platform migrations such as this one.

At June 30, 2016, total revenue per paid membership was down across all cohorts and in total as compared to June 30, 2015, reflecting the impacts of declining average membership pricing and, more recently, near-term revenue losses attributable to transitional challenges associated with the migration to our new technology platform. We intend to continue to evaluate and adopt innovative packaging, pricing and monetization strategies, such as our tiered membership offerings, as well as introduce new products and services, in an effort to deliver compelling value to our members and service providers and thereby generate growth, retention and engagement across the business. Although the dynamics associated with the introduction of such strategies have caused and may continue to cause revenue per paid membership to decline sequentially in some or all of our cohorts in the near term, we believe that these strategies are critical to driving increased market penetration and meaningful revenue growth over time.July 24, 2017.

Key Operating Metrics
 
In addition to the line items in our condensed consolidated financial statements, we regularly review a number of other operating metrics related to our membership and service provider bases to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of resources and make decisions regarding business strategies. We believe these metrics are useful for investors and analysts to understand the underlying trends in our business. However, as our business evolves, the metrics we currently identify as critical to the evaluation of our operations and performance may change.

The following table summarizes our key operating metrics which are unaudited, for the three and six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015:2016:

Total memberships. Total free memberships reflects the number of free members as of the end of the period who joined subsequent to us dropping our ratings and reviews paywall in June 2016.2016, as well as the number of former paid members who requested a change in membership status from paid to free over the same time period. Total paid memberships represents the number of paid members at the end of each period presented. Total paid memberships as of June 30, 2015 also included a de minimis number of complimentary memberships in what formerly comprised our paid markets. These complimentary memberships are no longer included in our paid membership counts and are therefore not reflected in the paid membership totals presented in the table above as of June 30, 2016. We generally expect that there will be one membership per household and, as such, each membership may actually represent multiple individual consumers.
Gross memberships added. Gross free memberships added represents the total number of new free members added during the reporting period, since we dropped our ratings and reviews paywallperiod. This figure does not include former paid members who requested a change in June 2016.membership status from paid to free. Gross paid memberships added reflects the total number of new paid members added in athe reporting period.
Average paid membership renewal rate. Average paid membership renewal rate reflects the percentage of all paid memberships expiring in the reporting period that are renewed as paid members.
Participating service providers. We includeAs part of our sharpened strategic and financial focus, we are no longer offering service providers the option of only selling e-commerce offers as a means for participating in our network. Accordingly, participating service providers now represents the total number of service providers under contract for advertising e-commerce or both at the end of the period. For the periods ended March 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the number of participating service providers, excluding those only under contract for e-commerce, was 50,351, 50,522, 49,441 and 49,200, respectively.
Total service provider contract value. We calculate service provider contract value as the total contract value of active service provider contracts at the end of the period. Contract value is the total payment obligation of a service provider to us, including amounts already recognized in revenue, over the stated term of the contract.
Total service provider contract value backlog. Service provider contract value backlog consists of the portion of service provider contract value at the end of the period that is not yet recognized as revenue.

Total revenue decreased $4.3$10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.2016.
 
Membership revenue decreased $1.3$5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015,2016, primarily attributable to the combined impact of a 55%an 89% decline in gross paid memberships added period over period, lower membership renewal rates and a 10%an eight percentage point decrease in membership revenue perthe average paid membership quarter over quarter.renewal rate. The declines in gross paid memberships added and paid membership renewal ratesrate were largely the result of adjustmentsour introduction of a free membership tier in all markets in June 2016 in connection with the removal of our ratings and reviews paywall. Our paid membership base is decreasing as new members are primarily joining via our free membership offering, and existing paid members are not renewing as paid members at rates consistent with our historical averages, thereby negatively impacting our membership revenue. Adjustments in the level of our advertising spend representing a reduction of $16.1also factored into the quarter over quarter decline in membership revenue. Our advertising spend decreased $9.9 million infor the second quarter of 2016twelve months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same quartertwelve months ended June 30, 2016, further contributing to the declines in 2015. The decrease in membership revenue per averagegross paid memberships added and paid membership was due to reductions in membership fees, on average, across all markets under our former tiered membership pricing structure. Additionally, we introduced a free membership offering in all markets in June 2016, officially dropping our ratings and reviews paywall to non-paying consumers and furtherrenewal rate, thereby negatively impacting our membership revenue, as anticipated.revenue. Membership revenue accounted for 14% and 19% of total revenue for each of the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 2015. We generallywe expect membership revenue as a percentage of total revenue to continue to decline in future periods due to downward pressure on membership revenue associated with the evolution of our membership plan offerings and pricing, includingand in particular, the recent introduction of a free membership tier for consumers.in 2016.
 
Service provider revenue which consists primarily of revenue from advertising contracts with service providers, decreased $3.0$4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, attributable2016. Given the average duration of our advertising contracts, the transitional challenges we experienced in 2016 in connection with the migration to declinesour new technology platform are continuing to negatively impact our service provider revenue. Further, we experienced a decline in service provider advertising originations and renewal rates, as well as increases in service provider attrition, during the second quarter. While we experienced a modest 2% increaserecent periods driven by lower headcount in theour sales organization. The number of participating service providers decreased 2% year over year, and service provider contract value and contract value backlog decreased by $7.7$12.2 million and $7.5$4.8 million, respectively, over the same time period, reflecting,period. Additionally, the average pricing of service provider contracts has declined over the past year, further contributing to the quarter over quarter decrease in part, the impact of certain limited disruptions related to our recent migration to a new technology platform. Historically, as our penetration of a given market increases, we are typically able to charge higher rates for advertising as service providers are able to reach a larger base of potential customers. However, as we generally only adjust advertising rates at the time of contract renewal,provider revenue. As growth in service provider revenue typicallyand related metrics commonly trails increases in market penetration. Accordingly, as we transitionmembership, if our business model and provide accessmembership continues to our ratings and reviews free-of-charge,grow, the anticipated corresponding increases in service provider revenue, contract value and contract value backlog may not be immediate.

The declinereduction in publication costs was, in part, the result of our implementation of a digital content distribution strategy whereinwhereby we increased digital distribution, and reduced print copy distribution, of the Angie'sAngie’s List Magazine duringas compared to the second quarter yieldingof 2016, generating a periodquarter over period decreasequarter decline in the costs incurred to provide the print magazine to our members. Additionally, as generally only paid members andreceive a print copy of the reductionmagazine, the year over year decline in our paid membership base also contributed to the decrease in publication costs during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in compensation and personnel-related expenditures was driven by a 27% decrease40% year over year reduction in operations and support headcount year over year. Operations and support expense was also positively impacted by a period over periodheadcount. A decline in credit card processing fees of $0.6$0.5 million, which was largely attributable to lower transaction volumevolumes across our platforms in recent periods, also factored into the second quarter of 2016.

The quarter over quarter leverage in selling expense as service provider revenue decreased 4% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, while selling expense declined 14% over the same time period. The primary factor driving the period over period reductiondecline in selling expense was prior year event costs, contributing to decreases in (i) travel, meals and entertainmentprimarily the result of $1.1 million, (ii) selling-related service provider marketing expenditures of $0.8 million and (iii) outsourced services of $0.6 million. Headcount also influenced the quarter over quarter leverage in selling expense, as there was a 6% reduction in the total number of employees in our sales organization from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2016, and when coupled with the impact of recent changes in our sales compensation plans and organizational structure, yielded a $1.8$3.6 million decrease in selling compensation and personnel-related costs for commissions, wages and other employee benefits. While selling expense as a percentage of total revenue declined in the second quarter of 2016 as comparedbenefits, which was attributable to the second quarter of 2015, we expect that selling expense will increase, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue, over the duration of the year due to planned headcount growthchanges in our sales organization.compensation plans and organizational structure, including a 31% year over year decline in our sales organization headcount, as well as the impact of lower service provider contract value bookings in recent periods.

Product and technology expense increased $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in product and technology expense was largely the result of a $1.9$1.7 million quarter over quarter increase in depreciation expense related to our new technology platform, which we placed in service as of the end of the first quarter of 2016. Increases in our product and technology headcount also contributed to the period over period fluctuation in product and technology expense. Specifically, the number of product and technology personnel we employ increased 36% from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2016 as we strengthened our product and technology organizations to execute on our technology platform migration and product roadmap, contributing to an additional $1.3 million in compensation and personnel-related costs, attributable to the combined impact of a reduction in capitalized internal labor costs associated with our technology platform during the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter of 2016 and year over quarter.

The impact to general and administrative expense associated with merger transaction costs was partially offset by a $3.4$3.0 million increasedecrease in outsourced service expenditures and professional fees, attributable to a reduction in third-party consulting costs, quarter over quarter.

The declines in gross paid memberships added and paid membership renewal ratesrate were largely the result of adjustmentsour introduction of a free membership tier in all markets in June 2016 in connection with the removal of our ratings and reviews paywall. Our paid membership base is decreasing as new members are primarily joining via our free membership offering, and existing paid members are not renewing as paid members at rates consistent with our historical averages, thereby negatively impacting our membership revenue. Adjustments in the level of our advertising spend representing a reduction of $17.7also factored into the year over year decline in membership revenue. Our advertising spend decreased $9.9 million infor the first half of 2016twelve months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same periodtwelve months ended June 30, 2016, further contributing to the declines in 2015. The decrease in membership revenue per averagegross paid memberships added and paid membership was due to reductions in membership fees, on average, across all markets under our former tiered membership pricing structure. Additionally, we introduced a free membership offering in all markets in June 2016, officially dropping our ratings and reviews paywall to non-paying consumers and furtherrenewal rate, thereby negatively impacting our membership revenue, as anticipated.revenue.

Additionally, the average pricing of service provider contracts has declined over the past year, further contributing to the year over year decrease in part, the impact of certain limited disruptions related to our recent migration to a new technology platform. Historically, as our penetration of a given market increases, we are typically able to charge higher rates for advertising as service providers are able to reach a larger base of potential customers.

The reduction in compensation and personnel-related expenditures was driven by a 27% decrease in operations and support headcount year over year, and the decline in publication costs was, in part, the result of our implementation of a digital content distribution strategy whereinwhereby we increased digital distribution, and reduced print copy distribution, of the Angie'sAngie’s List Magazine duringas compared to the year, yieldingfirst six months of 2016, generating a year over year decreasedecline in the costs incurred to provide the print magazine to our members.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
General
 
At June 30, 2016,2017, we had $34.6$38.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $23.9$10.5 million in short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents consists of bank deposit accounts and money market funds, as well as any investments in certificates of deposit or U.S. Treasury securities or corporate bonds with contractual maturities of three months or less, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit and U.S. Treasury securities and corporate bonds with maturities of more than 90 days but less than one year. To date, the carrying values of these investments approximate their fair values, and we have incurred no material loss in these accounts. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund our operations for, at a minimum, the next twelve months.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement with IAC on May 1, 2017, we agreed to various customary covenants, including, among others, covenants related to (i) the conduct of our business during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the transaction, (ii) the amendment and restatement of organizational documents, (iii) the acquisition, disposition and transfer of assets, (iv) the entry into material contracts and (v) the issuance, sale, pledge or encumbrance of capital stock. We do not believe the restrictions resulting from these covenants will prevent us from sufficiently funding our operations, including satisfying our obligations and meeting general working capital needs, over the next twelve months.

The Merger Agreement provides certain termination rights for IAC and us. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, such as our acceptance of a superior proposal or our Board of Directors withdrawing its recommendation regarding the transaction, we may be required to pay IAC a termination fee of $20.0 million.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
 
We generated cash from operating activities of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, despite incurring a net loss of $6.1 million over the same time period, largely attributable to non-cash activity of $14.9 million, including depreciation and amortization expense of $8.2 million and stock-based compensation expense of $6.0 million, as well as a $7.1 million net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as compared to December 31, 2016, which was primarily driven by accrued marketing expenses and the expected timing of payment of these balances. In addition to the net loss incurred during the first half of the year, we experienced significant uses of cash in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to total combined deferred revenue, which declined $5.3 million from December 31, 2016, and prepaid expenses and other current assets, which increased $3.2 million from December 31, 2016. The decrease in total combined deferred revenue was primarily the result of the continued impact of the removal of our ratings and reviews paywall in June 2016 on our membership revenue stream, while the increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was driven by increases in prepaid commissions and general vendor prepaid expenses.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $14.3 million was largely attributable to total combined non-cash activity of $12.5$13.3 million, during the first half of the year, including $6.7$7.5 million in stock-based compensation expense and $5.3 million in depreciation and amortization.amortization expense. Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was also positively impacted by a $7.0 million net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities sincefrom December 31, 2015, driven by accrued marketing expenses and the expected timing of payment of such accruedthese balances, as well as a $3.5 million one-time contingent liability recorded during the first quarter of 2016 for the pending Moore litigation and related cases.litigation. Uses of cash fromin operations for the period included a $6.9 million net decrease in deferred revenue, which was primarily the result of near-term pressures on both our membership and service provider revenue streams associated with the migration to our new technology platform and the transition of our business model, including the removal of our ratings and reviews paywall.

Additionally, an increase in total combined deferred advertising revenue, offset by a corresponding decline in total combined deferred membership revenue, resulted in a net $1.7 million increase to operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2015, reflecting the impact of increases in service provider contract values and concurrent decreases in membership revenue per paid membership. Non-cash activity, including $4.5 million in stock-based compensation expense, $3.2 million in depreciation and amortization and $0.7 million for a non-cash long-lived asset impairment charge, accounted for a $9.0 million positive contribution to operating cash flows forduring the first half of 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. With respect to critical accounting policies, we believe there is now sufficient historical data available for the volatility of our common stock, and as such, we began utilizing our own historical volatility data for the volatility input to our calculation of the estimated fair value of stock option awards in the determination of stock-based compensation expense in 2016. There were no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.

(“ANGI Homeservices”) as a result of the Merger. The Class A shares of ANGI Homeservices are not and never have been listed for trading on a national securities exchange or otherwise publicly traded. Such shares are expected to be approved for listing on NASDAQ prior to the completion of the Merger, and such approval for listing is one of the conditions to the completion of the Merger.

The covenantstrading price of a Class A share of ANGI Homeservices following the Merger is uncertain, and there can be no assurances as to the values at which Class A shares will trade following the Merger. In addition, following the Merger, the trading price of Class A shares of ANGI Homeservices is likely to fluctuate and will be dependent on, and subject to fluctuations relating to, general market and economic conditions, changes in our business or the HomeAdvisor business (whether prior to or following the completion of the Merger), and regulatory considerations, among other things. Some of these factors and conditions are beyond our control or the control of the HomeAdvisor business or ANGI Homeservices.

Our stockholders who elect to receive cash consideration may receive a prorated portion of their Merger consideration in the financing agreementform of share consideration if the aggregate cap on the cash consideration of $130.0 million is exceeded.

Each of our stockholders will be entitled to elect to receive in the Merger, for each share of our common stock held at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), share consideration or cash consideration (or a combination thereof, by electing cash consideration with respect to some shares and share consideration with respect to other shares held by such stockholder). Elections to receive cash consideration by our stockholders will be subject to the proration procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement, such that governs our current indebtednessstockholders will receive in the aggregate no more than $130.0 million in cash.

Depending on the elections made by our stockholders, the aggregate cash consideration cap of $130.0 million may limitbe exceeded, in which case our operatingstockholders who properly elected to receive cash consideration in the Merger will receive a portion of their Merger consideration in respect of our shares for which cash consideration was properly elected in the form of share consideration. Stockholders who receive share consideration will be subject to a number of additional risks relating to ANGI Homeservices and financial flexibility.its Class A shares (including the market for buying and selling such shares), as discussed elsewhere herein.

Our stockholders who make elections to receive share consideration or cash consideration will be unable to sell their shares of our common stock while the Merger remains pending.

Our stockholders may elect to receive cash, stock or a combination of cash and stock for their shares of our common stock in the Merger by completing an election form that will be sent under separate cover. Elections will require that stockholders making the election submit their shares of our common stock, including any stock certificates, or in the case of book-entry shares of our common stock, any additional documents specified in the procedures set forth in the election form, in order for the election to be properly made. This means that during the time between when the election is made and the date the Merger closes, our stockholders who have submitted an election form to receive share consideration or cash consideration will be unable to sell the shares of our common stock with respect to which any such election has been made unless they first withdraw their election. If the Merger is unexpectedly delayed, this period could extend for a significant period of time. Our stockholders can shorten the period during which they cannot sell their shares by delivering their election shortly before the election deadline. However, elections received after the election deadline will not be accepted or honored.

Both individually and as a group, our stockholders will have significantly reduced ownership and voting interests in ANGI Homeservices after the Merger relative to their interests in Angie’s List prior to the Merger, and, with limited exceptions for certain class votes, IAC will be able to control any corporate action that requires a vote of ANGI Homeservices stockholders, in addition to appointing a majority of the board of directors.

Upon the consummation of the Merger, each of our stockholders that receives share consideration will become a stockholder of ANGI Homeservices with a percentage ownership of ANGI Homeservices that is significantly smaller than such stockholder’s percentage ownership of Angie’s List immediately prior to the Merger. Immediately following the closing of the Merger, depending on the number of our stockholders that elect to receive cash consideration, former holders of our common stock and equity awards are expected to hold, in the aggregate, Class A shares representing between approximately 10% (assuming our stockholders elect to receive the maximum aggregate cash consideration) and 13% (assuming none of our stockholders elect to receive cash consideration) of the economic interest in ANGI Homeservices common stock (on a fully diluted basis, calculated using the treasury stock method), and less than 2% of the total voting power of ANGI Homeservices common stock, and IAC is expected to hold shares of Class B common stock (“Class B shares”) of ANGI Homeservices which, together with Class A shares underlying equity awards in respect of HomeAdvisor, Inc. to be converted into awards in respect of ANGI Homeservices, will represent between approximately 87% and 90% of the economic interest (on a fully diluted basis, calculated using the treasury stock method) and approximately 98% of the total voting power of ANGI Homeservices common stock.

On this basis, with limited exceptions for certain class votes, IAC will be able to control any corporate action that requires a vote of ANGI Homeservices stockholders, in addition to appointing a majority of the board of directors.

These conditions include, the adoption of the Merger Agreement by our stockholders and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and as a result, there exists some uncertainty regarding the timing of the completion of the Transactions, and whether the Transactions will be completed at all. Furthermore, we or IAC may terminate the Merger Agreement in specified circumstances, including if the Merger has not been consummated on or prior to February 1, 2018 (provided that this right to terminate will not be available to a party if the failure of the closing to occur by such date was due to a material breach of the Merger Agreement by the party seeking to terminate).

As such, the pendency of the Transactions may adversely impacted,affect our ability to attract and retain key management, sales, marketing and technical personnel, as well as new consumers and service professionals.

Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we are subject to certain covenants regarding the conduct of our business during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Transactions, including covenants related to our ability to enter into material contracts and acquire or dispose of assets. These covenants may prevent us from taking actions with respect to our business that we may be unableconsider advantageous and result in our inability to continuerespond effectively to fundcompetitive pressures or industry developments, among other things, which could thereby harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Some of our current directors and executive officers have interests in the Transactions that may differ from the interests of our other stockholders.

Some members of our management and board of directors may have interests in the Merger that differ from, or are in addition to, their interests as our stockholders. These interests include:

the rights of some executive officers to receive payments or other benefits, including the conversion of certain stock options and restricted stock unit awards, acceleration of the vesting of certain equity awards, and possible payments due upon certain terminations of employment during a specified period prior to or following a change in control;

the expected service of Angela R. Hicks Bowman and Thomas R. Evans as directors of ANGI Homeservices following the Merger; 

an employment agreement expected to be entered into between ANGI Homeservices and Angela R. Hicks Bowman providing for her continued service to ANGI Homeservices following the closing of the Merger; and 

the continued indemnification of our directors and officers after the completion of the Transactions for acts or omissions that occurred in their capacity as directors or officers prior to the closing of the Transactions.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit our ability to pursue alternatives to the Transactions, could discourage a potential competing acquiror from making a favorable alternative transaction proposal and, in specified circumstances, could require us to pay a termination fee of $20.0 million to IAC.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that restrict our ability during the pendency of the Merger to, among other things, solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiries regarding, or the making, submission or announcement by any person of any proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to, certain alternative transactions. In addition, IAC is generally entitled to an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the Merger Agreement in response to any third-party alternative transaction proposal before our board of directors may change its recommendation in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement or terminate the Merger Agreement to accept an alternative proposal.

Moreover, if the Merger Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances, including if we terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a superior proposal, we will be required to pay a termination fee of $20.0 million to IAC.

These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquirer or Merger partner that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of our business, or pursuing another form of alternative transaction involving us, from considering or proposing such a transaction, even if the third party was prepared to pay consideration having greater perceived value than that of the share consideration and cash consideration being offered in the Merger. In addition, these provisions might result in a potential third-party acquiror or merger partner proposing to pay a lower price to our stockholders than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the $20.0 million termination fee that may become payable in specified circumstances.

Our stockholders will not be entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights in the Merger.

Appraisal rights are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable stockholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with such extraordinary transaction.

Appraisal rights are not available in all circumstances, and exceptions to these rights are provided under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). In the Merger, because our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ, and because our stockholders are not required to accept in the Merger any consideration in exchange for their shares of our common stock other than Class A shares of ANGI Homeservices, which will be publicly listed on the NASDAQ, and cash in lieu of fractional shares (if applicable), holders of our common stock will not be entitled to any appraisal rights in connection with the Merger with respect to their shares of our common stock.

ANGI Homeservices may not realize the expected benefits of the Transactions on the anticipated timeframes or at all.

The benefits of the Transactions to ANGI Homeservices and its stockholders following the Merger may not be realized as expected or may not be achieved within the anticipated timeframes or at all. The ability of ANGI Homeservices to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions will depend, to a large extent, on its ability to combine the HomeAdvisor business with our business in a manner that facilitates growth opportunities, realizes anticipated synergies and achieves the projected cost savings and revenue growth expected by IAC and our management.

We, together with IAC, will be required to devote significant attention and resources prior to the closing of the Merger to prepare for the post-closing operation of ANGI Homeservices, and ANGI Homeservices will be required post-closing to devote significant attention and resources to successfully align the business practices and integrate the operations of the HomeAdvisor business and our business. This process may disrupt the businesses or cause a loss of momentum in the activities of ANGI Homeservices following the closing of the Merger and may adversely affect its business and results of operations. The overall combination of the HomeAdvisor business and our business may also result in unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, responses from competitors, loss of customer and other business relationships and the diversion of management attention. If ANGI Homeservices is not able to efficiently and successfully integrate the HomeAdvisor business with our business following the Merger, the anticipated benefits of the Transactions may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected, which would have a negative effect on the business and financial results of the combined company and on the value of the Class A shares to be issued to our stockholders who receive share consideration in the Merger.


Even if the operations of the HomeAdvisor business and our business are combined successfully, the full benefits of the Transactions may not be realized, including the synergies, cost savings and growth opportunities that are expected, due to competitive pressures, changes in general market or economic conditions or other factors. Moreover, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in combining the HomeAdvisor business and our business. All of these factors could negatively impact the business and financial results of ANGI Homeservices and the market price of ANGI Homeservices Class A shares.

The outcome of legal proceedings that have been instituted or legal proceedings that may be instituted in the future against us in connection with the Merger could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Since the announcement of the Merger, two putative securities class action complaints have been filed, naming us, our directors and IAC as defendants, in connection with IAC’s acquisition of us. The lawsuits allege that we, as well as our directors, violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by omitting certain financial information from the Form S-4 Registration Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Merger. The lawsuits seek, among other things, equitable relief, including additional disclosure in the Form S-4 Registration Statement, an injunction of the Merger and costs and expenses of the litigation, including attorneys’ fees. Legal proceedings instituted against us with respect to the Merger could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
