NATURE_OF_OPERATIONS_AND_SUMMA

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	We provide end-to-end global commerce, payments and marketing solutions to companies that want to sell their products and services online. We were incorporated in 1994 and began building and operating online stores for our clients in 1996. We generate revenue through revenue sharing, transaction fees, monthly service charges and fees for services charged to customers that utilize our solutions.
	Principles of Consolidation and Classification
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digital River, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	Substantially all of our foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the reported period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within stockholders' equity. Losses resulting from foreign currency transactions were $1.3 million, $0.4 million and $1.5 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are recorded within "Other income (expense), net".
	We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our risks relate to the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency denominated operating sales and expenses and exchange rate translation losses (or gains) associated with economic interests that are denominated in a foreign currency. The risk of translation losses due to foreign exchange volatility is partially mitigated by the use of foreign exchange forward contracts with maturities of less than three months. These derivative transactions are not designated as hedges and are adjusted to fair value through income each period. The principal exposures mitigated were the Euro, Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, Danish krone and Japanese yen currencies. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recorded a loss of $0.1 million, a gain of $0.1 million, and a loss of $0.3 million, respectively, on derivative settlements within "Other income (expense), net". We held no open foreign exchange forward contracts at December 31, 2013 and the notional amount of holdings at December 31, 2012 was $1.9 million. The gain (loss) on derivative settlements and the notional amounts held at the respective year ends are not material when compared to our net income (loss) and our overall cash and cash equivalents reported for the respective periods.
	Our foreign currency contracts contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. We minimize such risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions of high credit quality.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments and money market accounts, that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and that have original or remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
	Short-Term Investments
	Our short-term investments consist of debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale and are carried on our balance sheets at their market value with cumulative unrealized gains or losses recorded net of tax as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within stockholders' equity. We classify all of our available-for-sale securities, except for our auction rate securities, as current assets, as these securities represent investments available for current corporate purposes. Upon the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale, the amount reclassified out of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" into earnings is based on the specific identification method.
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	We use estimates in determining our allowance for doubtful accounts which are based on our historical experience and current trends. We must estimate the collectability of our billed accounts receivable. We analyze accounts receivable and consider our historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We must make judgments and estimates in connection with the allowance in any accounting period. The uncollectible portion of receivables is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have ceased.
	Prepaid Expenses and Other
	Prepaid expenses and other are largely comprised of prepaid licenses, deferred set-up costs, deferred financing costs, notes receivable, value added taxes, income tax receivable and restricted cash. Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents that are held in escrow accounts, or are otherwise restricted by agreements with third parties, for a particular purpose. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $3.6 million and $0.4 million of restricted cash, respectively. In 2012, $0.6 million of notes receivable, lent through a short term promissory note, was deemed to be uncollectable and a full reserve was recorded against the note at both December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Computer equipment, office furniture and purchased and internally developed software are depreciated or amortized under the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of three to seven years and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the asset life or remaining length of the lease. Useful lives are based on our estimates of the period of time over which the assets will generate revenue or benefit our business. We review assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value we are carrying on our financial statements for an asset may not be recoverable. Our evaluation considers non-financial data such as changes in the operating environment and business strategy, competitive information, market trends and operating performance. Property and equipment at December 31 consisted of the following (in thousands):
		2013			2012
	Computer hardware and software	$	174,928		$	155,916
	Furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements		12,339			12,040
	Total property and equipment		187,267			167,956
	Accumulated depreciation and amortization		(133,497	)		(114,858	)
	Net property and equipment	$	53,770		$	53,098
	Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations was $22.1 million, $20.2 million and $22.0 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Repairs and maintenance costs are charged directly to expense as incurred. Major renewals or replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.
	Software Development
	Costs to develop software for internal use are capitalized when the criteria for capitalization under U.S. GAAP is met. This criteria includes that the project must be approved by senior management, costs must be related to new development or significant upgrades or enhancements to existing software, and completion and future utilization of the development must be probable. Costs related to development that do not meet these criteria are expensed in the period incurred. Capitalized costs of completed projects are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, net software for internal use was $16.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively.
	Goodwill
	We have a single reporting unit. We complete our goodwill impairment analysis annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our single reporting unit below its carrying amount.
	In conducting our impairment analysis, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If after assessing all relevant qualitative factors, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a blended income and market approach is then used to determine the fair value of our sole reporting unit and any applicable impairment charge. The application of goodwill impairment tests requires management judgment for many of the inputs. Key assumptions included in the impairment test include our revenue growth rate, discount rate, and estimates of our future cash flows. Changes in these estimates could result in additional impairment of goodwill in a future period. Any impairment charges reflect our view of anticipated risks based on our expectations of market and general economic conditions. See Note 5—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further details regarding our 2013 qualitative impairment analysis and 2012 quantitative analysis.
	Intangible Assets
	We amortize certain definite lived intangibles over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on our estimates of the period of time over which the assets will generate revenue or benefit our business. We review assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value we are carrying on our financial statements for an asset may not be recoverable. Our evaluation considers non-financial data such as changes in the operating environment and business strategy, competitive information, market trends and operating performance. If there are indications that an impairment may have occurred, we compare an undiscounted cash flow analysis to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, we measure the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. See Note 5—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further details.
	Long-Term Investments
	Our long-term investments consist of market basis equity investments, cost method equity investments and auction rate securities. The market basis equity investments and auction rate securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried on our balance sheet at their market value with cumulative unrealized gains or losses recorded net of tax as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within stockholders' equity. Upon the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale, the amount reclassified out of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" into earnings is based on the specific identification method.
	We also have equity investments that are accounted for under the cost method included in long-term investments. We review the key characteristics of our investments and their classification in accordance with U.S. GAAP on an annual basis, or when indications of potential impairment exist. If a decline in the fair value of a security is deemed by management to be other-than-temporary, we write down the cost basis of the investment to fair value, and the amount of the write-down is included in net earnings.

	Discontinued Operations
	We separately classify the results of operations and the assets and liabilities of material components or businesses that have been sold, disposed, or that meet the criteria for held for sale within our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets. As allowed under U.S. GAAP, we do not reclassify the cash flows of discontinued businesses within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In determining if the criteria for separate presentation is met, we assess if the operations and cash flows of the business have been, or will be, eliminated from ongoing operations and whether we will have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the business after the disposal transaction. The presentation of corresponding prior periods is updated to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 15—Discontinued Operations for further discussion.
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) includes revenues, expenses, and gains and losses that are excluded from net earnings under GAAP. Items of comprehensive income (loss) are unrealized gains and losses on investments and foreign currency translation adjustments which are added to net income (loss) to compute comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) related to cumulative translation adjustments has no tax expense or benefit as these funds are indefinitely invested.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from services rendered once all the following criteria for revenue recognition have been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; (2) the services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and, (4) collection of the amounts due is reasonably assured.
We sell both digital and physical products on behalf of our customers and charge transaction fees based on a percentage of the sale price. These revenues are recorded net of related costs of sales as generally our clients control product choices and are subject to inventory risks. Revenue for these sales is recognized upon fulfillment, when title and significant risk of ownership passes to the end customer.
We provide payment processing services to merchants and charge monthly service and transaction based fees. Transaction fees are recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs. Service fees are recognized over the covered period.
When we provide additional deliverables in connection with our e-commerce and payments solution arrangements, including site set up services, these services do not meet the criteria of separate units of accounting as the services do not have value to the client on a standalone basis. Therefore we account for these deliverables as one unit of accounting and recognize them over the term of the associated contract. When we provide client services on a standalone basis, such as website design, custom development, data backup, analytical marketing, affiliate marketing and email marketing services, revenue is recognized as the services are provided.
Shipping revenue is recorded net of any associated costs. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer are not recorded as revenue.
Credit Card Chargeback Reserve
We use estimates based on historical experience and current trends to determine accrued chargeback expenses. The following table illustrates our provision for chargeback losses as a percentage of revenue for 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands, except percentages):
	2013			2012			2011
Revenue	$	389,679		$	370,496		$	376,469
Provision for Credit Card Chargebacks		332			688			452
Provision for Credit Card Chargebacks as a % of Revenue		0.1	%		0.2	%		0.1	%
Determining appropriate reserves for chargeback transactions is an inherently uncertain process. The reserves are maintained at a level we deem appropriate to provide for losses incurred on revenue earned in each period.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
We account for share-based payments made to our employees and directors, including stock options and employee stock purchases made through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) based on estimated fair values. The fair value of each stock option and employee stock purchase made through our ESPP are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares is determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. We estimated the fair value of performance share units with a market condition granted to certain executives on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo valuation model.
Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and thus has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized stock-based compensation expense are reported as a financing cash flow.
Severance
We begin to accrue for severance and outplacement costs when all of the criteria for one-time employment termination benefits are met, which is generally at the time of communication to the employee. Total restructuring related severance expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $5.8 million, $1.7 million, and $0.0 million respectively.
Advertising Costs
The costs of advertising are charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred. We incurred advertising expense of $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We record deferred tax assets for favorable tax attributes, including tax loss carryforwards. We currently have U.S. tax loss carryforwards, including acquired operating tax loss carryforwards, and a lesser amount of acquired foreign operating tax loss carryforwards. We evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2013-11—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists: In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, which requires an entity to present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction of the deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, if net settlement is required or expected. To the extent that net settlement is not required or expected, the unrecognized tax benefit must be presented as a liability. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Because this standard only affects the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and not the measurement of an unrecognized tax benefit, we do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2013-02—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income:    In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, which required entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either in the financial statements or footnotes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail on these amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We have adopted the new guidance in ASU 2013-02 as of the period ended March 31, 2013, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have determined that all other recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, or do not apply to our operations.
Reclassifications
Certain items in the prior years' Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year presentation.
The results of the operations of CustomCD, Inc. (CustomCD) and Digital River Education Services, Inc. (DRES), which were sold on September 30, 2013 and October 1, 2013, respectively, have been classified within Discontinued Operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. The operations of these entities in the corresponding years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been reclassified into Discontinued Operations for comparative purposes to conform to the current year presentation. In addition, the assets and liabilities of CustomCD and DRES in the December 31, 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheet have been reclassified and separately presented as current assets and current liabilities of discontinued operations.
Through December 31, 2012, we reported payment processing fees, chargebacks, and directly related personnel expenses within the "Sales and marketing" and "General and administrative" line items. We have reclassified these expenses to the "Direct cost of services" line as these costs are associated directly with services rendered. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, excluding amounts related to CustomCD and DRES which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, we have reclassified $55.5 million and $49.0 million, respectively, previously reported as "Sales and marketing" and $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, previously reported as "General and administrative" to "Direct cost of services". The reclassifications did not have an effect on reported consolidated net income (loss).

Incremental shares related to dilutive securities have an anti-dilutive impact on net income (loss) per share when a net loss is reported and therefore are not included in the calculation.
	Options to purchase 527,815, 1,438,511and 1,289,765 shares for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, because their effect on diluted net income (loss) per share would have been anti-dilutive.
	The unissued shares underlying our 2004 senior convertible notes, 199,828 weighted average shares for 2013 and 2012 were excluded for the purposes of calculating GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share, because their effect on diluted net income (loss) per share would have been anti-dilutive. The unissued shares underlying our 2010 senior convertible notes, 6,057,747 weighted average shares for 2013, 6,986,627 weighted average shares for 2012, 7,022,077 weighted average shares for 2011, were excluded for the purposes of calculating GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share, because their effect on diluted net income per share would have been anti-dilutive.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	'
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	'
	3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
	Level 2—Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:
		•
		Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
		•
		Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in less active markets than Level 1 investments;
		•
		Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities; and
		•
		Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.
	Level 3—Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management's estimate of market participant assumptions.
	Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. The Company's policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the quarter. There have been no transfers of assets between levels of the hierarchy in 2013 or 2012.
	The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and 2012, (in thousands):

	Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	41,993
	The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used by the Company to fair value our financial instruments:
	Cash and Cash equivalents.    Consist of cash on hand in bank deposits, highly liquid investments and money market accounts. The fair value was measured using quoted market prices and is classified as Level 1. The carrying amount approximates fair value.
	Restricted Cash.    Consist of cash and cash equivalents that are held in escrow accounts and restricted by agreements with third parties for a particular purpose. The carrying amount approximates fair value and is classified as Level 1.
	Commercial Paper.    Consist of primarily high grade commercial paper. The fair value of these investments was measured using quoted market prices and is classified as Level 1. The contractual maturities of these investments are within one year.
	U.S government sponsored entities.    Consist of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Federal Home Loan Bank investment grade bonds that are traded in less active markets than Level 1 investments. The fair value of these bonds is classified as Level 2. The contractual maturities of these investments are within three years.
	Corporate Bonds.    Consist of investment grade corporate bonds that trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of these bonds was measured using quoted market prices and is classified as Level 1. The contractual maturities of these investments are within two years.
	Asset Backed Securities.    Consist of securities backed by automobile loan receivables that are traded in less active markets than our Level 1 investments. The fair value is classified as Level 2.
	Market Basis Equity Investments.    Consist of available-for-sale equity securities that trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of these investments was measured using quoted market prices and is classified as Level 1.
	Auction Rate Securities
	As of December 31, 2013, we held $45.7 million of auction rate securities (ARS) at par value which we have recorded at $42.0 million fair value. As of December 31, 2012, we held $45.8 million of ARS at par value which we have recorded at $37.0 million fair value. The ARS are 106 - 138% over-collateralized and the underlying student loans are guaranteed by the U.S. government. Almost all of these securities continue to fail at auction due to continued illiquid market conditions.
Due to the illiquid market conditions, the fair value of our ARS is $3.7 million (8.2%) less than par value as of December 31, 2013. This reduction from par value is considered temporary and is recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)". The temporary reduction from par value recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" was $8.8 million (19.3%) as of December 31, 2012. Unrealized gains on our ARS of $5.1 million in 2013, unrealized losses of $2.6 million in 2012, and unrealized gains of $0.7 million in 2011 are recorded in "Unrealized gain (loss) on investments" in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
In evaluating our ARS portfolio, we note sustained performance of our securities, strong parity levels, observed market redemption activity, continued receipt of interest and penalty payments, and an increase in fair value at December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012. As we expect to receive all contractual cash flows, we do not believe the unrealized losses to be credit related. We continue to believe that we will be able to liquidate at par over time. We also anticipate we will have sufficient cash flow from operations to execute our business strategy and fund our operational needs. We do not intend to sell, or believe we will be required to sell, these investments prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis. Accordingly, we have treated the fair value decline as temporary.
The discounted cash flow model we used to value these securities included the following assumptions:
	December 31,		December 31,
	2013		2012
Redemption period (in years)	7		7
Credit ratings	BB+ to AAA		BB+ to AAA
Penalty coupon rate	1.0% to 1.5%		1.0% to 1.5%
Weighted average annualized yield	1.60%		1.50%
Risk adjusted discount rate	4.7% to 7.8%		3.5% to 12.3%
Management makes estimates and assumptions about the ARS, which can be sensitive to changes and effect the determination of fair value. An increase in the length of redemption period or an increase in the discount rate assumption would decrease our fair value. Also, a decrease in the securities' credit ratings would decrease our fair value.
The portfolio had a weighted average maturity of 29.8 years and 30.8 years as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
We classify our ARS as Level 3 long-term investments until we receive a call or partial call on the securities. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our entire ARS portfolio was classified as Level 3 long-term investments. In 2013, we liquidated $0.1 million of ARS due to a partial call at par. In 2012, we liquidated $25.7 million of ARS due to full or partial calls at par. The amount of Level 3 assets as a percentage of total assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis was 6.5% and 5.0% in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances like evidence of impairment. In 2013 and 2012, other than the impairment discussed in Note 5—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, we had no significant fair value adjustments of assets or liabilities on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition. The inputs used in the goodwill impairment fair value calculations fall within Level 3 inputs due to the significant unobservable inputs used to determine fair value.

	We consider the fair value decline of our investments in corporate bonds and ARS to be temporary, as we do not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. See Note 3—Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion regarding the fair value of ARS. Temporary unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)".
	Realized gains or losses on investments are recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Operations within "Other income (expense), net". Upon the sale of a security classified as available for sale, the amount reclassified out of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" into earnings is based on the specific identification method.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, our cost method equity investments were $10.5 million and $33.0 million, respectively, and are included under "Long-term investments" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of 2013, we sold a cost method equity investment to a third party and recorded a gain of $11.1 million. During the second quarter of 2013, we received additional funds based on our sales agreement and as a result we recorded a gain of $6.5 million. In 2012 we recorded a $3.2 million gain due to a call option that was executed for cash on the same cost method investment. All gains related to this cost basis investment are recorded in the line item "Other income (expense), net" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Based on future events, we may receive up to $3.1 million of additional sale proceeds. We have concluded that these additional funds represent contingent gains and have not accounted for them in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have not estimated the fair value of our one remaining cost method equity investment as of December 31, 2013 as we are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would indicate a decline in the fair value of this investment below its carrying value.

	5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
	Goodwill
	We complete our goodwill impairment analysis annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our single reporting unit below its carrying amount. In conducting our impairment analysis, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If after assessing all relevant qualitative factors, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a blended income and market approach is then used to determine the fair value of our sole reporting unit and any applicable impairment charge. The application of goodwill impairment tests is a level 3 fair value measurement and requires management judgment for many of the inputs. Key assumptions included in the impairment test include our revenue growth rate, discount rate, and estimates of our future cash flows. Changes in these estimates could result in additional impairment of goodwill in a future period. Any impairment charges reflect our view of anticipated risks based on our expectations of market and general economic conditions.
	In December 2012, due to the deterioration in our stock price in the second half of 2012, adjustments in our forecasted revenue growth and change in our chief operating decision maker, management determined that a triggering event for potential goodwill impairment had occurred. As such, management completed an interim impairment test utilizing the blended income and market approach, and the key assumptions described in the preceding paragraph, and determined that the carrying value of the Company was in excess of fair value and a goodwill impairment was required. In the fourth quarter 2012, we recorded a preliminary non-cash pretax goodwill impairment charge of $175.2 million. A $14.1 million tax benefit was recorded as a result of the impairment charge.
	During the first quarter of 2013, we completed our goodwill impairment analysis and recorded an additional non-cash pretax goodwill impairment charge of $21.2 million relating to our single reporting unit. The tax benefit was offset by our current period tax valuation allowance.
	Based on our qualitative analysis performed as of October 1, 2013, we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is in excess of its carrying amount. The primary evidence utilized in reaching this conclusion was our market capitalization, which increased significantly since the goodwill impairment identified during 2012. A significant decrease in our market capitalization, or significant changes in quantitative or other qualitative factors, could lead to a future impairment. As of October 1, 2013, and through December 31, 2013, the goodwill in our single reporting unit is not considered to be at risk of impairment.
	During the third quarter of 2013, we allocated $0.3 million of goodwill from our single reporting unit to CustomCD and DRES, which were written-off and included in the computation of the loss on disposal of discontinued businesses as of the year ended December 31, 2013. See Note 15—Discontinued Operations, for further discussion of the sales of CustomCD and DRES.
	Goodwill impairment charges are included as a separate operating expense line item, "Goodwill impairment" within Continuing Operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

	Intangible Assets
	All intangible assets are definite lived and are amortized over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on our estimates of the period of time over which the assets will generate revenue or benefit our business. We review assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value we are carrying on our financial statements for an asset may not be recoverable. During 2012, we impaired $0.2 million of intangibles due to the discontinued use of a trade name associated with an acquired product. During 2011, due to changes in our business strategy, a $9.4 million impairment was recorded to reduce the book carrying values of certain customer relationship, trade name, technology, and non-compete agreement intangibles. The fair values for these intangible assets were determined using the income approach. The application of intangible impairment tests is a level 3 fair value measurement and requires management judgment for many of the inputs. Impairments are recorded in "Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Information regarding our other intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):

	Equity Incentive Plans
	2007 Plan
	Our stockholders approved the Digital River, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan") at the Company's annual stockholder meeting held on May 31, 2007. The number of shares issuable under the 2007 Plan equals 7,450,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, shares not issued under the 1998 Plan shall become available for issuance under the 2007 Plan to the extent a stock option or other stock award under the 1998 Plan expires or terminates before shares of common stock are issued under the award. Under our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan we have the flexibility to grant incentive and non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and performance shares to our directors, employees, and consultants. There were 2,307,809 shares reserved under the plan as of December 31, 2013.
	1998 Plan
	The 1998 Equity Incentive Plan expired in June 2008 except as to options still outstanding under the plan.
	Stock Option Awards
	Options granted to employees typically expire no later than ten years after the date of grant. Awards that expire or are canceled without delivery of shares generally become available for issuance under the plan. We issue new shares to satisfy the exercise and vesting of awards granted under the stock award plan. Awards typically vest over 4 years.
	Incentive stock option grants must have an exercise price of at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the grant date. Incentive stock options granted to employees who, immediately before such grant, owned stock directly or indirectly representing more than 10% of the voting power of our stock, will have an exercise price of 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the grant date and will expire no later than five years from the date of grant.
	There were no stock options granted in 2013, 2012 or 2011.

	There is no aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2013, as the exercise price for all options exceeds the Company's closing stock price of $18.47 as of December 31, 2013. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, determined as of the date of exercise. The weighted average life remaining on exercisable options is 2.8 years.
	Restricted and Performance Stock
	Restricted stock awards are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. Performance based awards (performance shares) are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions or if established performance goals are not met. Awards typically vest over 3 to 4 years. A summary of the changes in restricted stock and performance shares under our 1998 Plan and 2007 Plan as of December 31, 2013, is as follows:

	Employee Stock Purchase Plan
	We also sponsor an employee stock purchase plan under which 2,200,000 shares have been reserved for purchase by employees. The purchase price of the shares under the plan is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value on the first or last day of the offering period. Offering periods are currently every six months ending on June 30 and December 31. Employees may designate up to ten percent of their compensation for the purchase of shares under the plan. Total shares purchased by employees under the plan were 163,657, 204,241 and 140,910 in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were 630,583 shares still reserved under the plan as of December 31, 2013.
	Inducement Equity Incentive Plan
	Effective on December 14, 2005, we adopted an Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the "Inducement Plan"). No awards have been granted under this plan since 2007. There were 34,858 shares still reserved under the plan as of December 31, 2013.

	As of December 31, 2013, we had U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards of approximately $13.1 million and state tax loss carryforwards of $50.4 million to offset future taxable income. The tax losses consist of U.S. federal net operating losses of $10.9 million and acquired U.S. federal net operating losses of $2.2 million, as well as, state net operating losses of $23.8 million and acquired state net operating losses of $26.6 million. The U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards expire in the years 2025 through 2033, while the state tax loss carryforwards expire in the years 2014 through 2033. As of December 31, 2013, we also had foreign tax loss carryforwards of approximately $10.8 million. The foreign loss carryforwards do not expire under current law.
	On a quarterly basis, we assess whether a valuation allowance for net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets is needed. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, we determined that it was necessary to place a valuation allowance against our net U.S. tax assets and a portion of our foreign tax assets. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance on approximately $8.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of U.S. deferred tax assets related to operating losses, $17.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, related to U.S. capital loss carryforwards and $22.0 million and $33.5 million, respectively, of deferred tax assets related to other U.S. tax attributes. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we also have a valuation allowance on our foreign net operating loss assets of approximately $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Any future release of this valuation allowance will reduce expense.

We had approximately $1.5 million and $0.9 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest on unrecognized tax benefits was $0.6 million, $0.4 million, and $0.1 million in years 2013, 2012, and 2011.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions, and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2006 through 2012 remain open to examination by most of the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. During 2011, the IRS completed an examination of the Company's 2009 U.S. tax return. Due to the potential resolution of examinations currently being performed by taxing authorities, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that our gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $8.9 million. Beyond this estimate, it is not practical to determine the timing of any cash flows related to these uncertain tax positions.
We have not provided U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 because we intend to permanently reinvest such earnings outside the U.S. If these foreign earnings were to be repatriated in the future, the related U.S. tax liability may be reduced by any foreign income taxes previously paid on these earnings. As of December 31, 2013, the cumulative amount of earnings upon which U.S. income taxes have not been provided is approximately $117.2 million. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.

	Our headquarters in Minnetonka, MN is under a ten year operating lease which commenced in the second quarter of 2011. We have a right to renew the term for a single five year period subsequent to the original term. Significant provisions of the lease include a rent holiday for the first eighteen months of occupancy, subsequent rent escalations and leasehold improvement allowances. The rent holiday and escalations are amortized over the life of the agreement. Leasehold improvement allowances are classified as a reduction to rent and are recorded as a part of property and equipment, net, with amortization recorded over the life of the lease.
	Litigation
	DDR Holdings, LLC (DDR) brought a claim against us and several other defendants regarding U.S. Patents Nos. 6,629,135 ("the '135 patent"), 6,993,572 ("the '572 patent"), and 7,818,399 ("the '399 Patent"), which are owned by DDR. These patents claim e-commerce outsourcing systems and methods relating to the provision of outsourced e-commerce support pages having a common look and feel with a host's website. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on January 31, 2006 seeking injunctive relief, declaratory relief, damages and attorneys' fees. We denied infringement of any valid claim of the patents-in-suit, and asserted counter-claims seeking a judicial declaration that the patents are invalid and not infringed. After a delay due to DDR's request for re-examination of the '135 and '572 patents, Digital River and DDR concluded discovery and pre-trial depositions in August 2012. In pre-trial motions, DDR dropped its claims against Digital River with respect to the '135 and '399 patent. On October 12, 2012, the jury found in favor of the plaintiff on the infringement claim in connection with the '572 patent and awarded damages of $0.8 million (versus plaintiff's demand of $10.2 million). On June 20, 2013, the court denied Digital River's post-trial motions and entered judgment in the amount of $1.1 million (which amount includes pre-judgment interest), plus costs and post-judgment interest. Digital River has appealed. During the third quarter of 2012, initial full settlement of the awarded damages (exclusive of interest which may be awarded by the court) was accrued for on the "Other accrued liabilities" line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the "General and administrative" line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The accrued amount was adjusted to $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2013 to reflect the award of pre-judgment interest. In addition, on August 20, 2013, DDR filed a second lawsuit against DR, alleging both additional infringement of the '572 patent as well as a newly issued continuation patent, Patent No. 8,515,825 issued on August 20, 2013 ("the '825 patent"). While we intend to vigorously defend this matter, we cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome, nor estimate a range of loss, if any, for this matter.
	We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the final outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we believe there is no ordinary course litigation pending against us that is likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders' equity or cash flows. Because of the uncertainty inherent in litigation, it is possible that unfavorable resolutions of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims could exceed the amount we have currently reserved for these matters.
	From time to time, we are involved in other disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. Any claims or regulatory actions against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage awards, injunctive relief or increased costs of doing business through adverse judgment or settlement, require us to change our business practices in expensive ways, require significant amounts of management time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources or otherwise harm our business. These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future.
	Third parties have from time-to-time claimed, and others may claim in the future, that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. We have been notified of several potential patent disputes, and expect that we will increasingly be subject to patent infringement claims as our services expand in scope and complexity. We have in the past been forced to litigate such claims. We may also become more vulnerable to third-party claims as laws, such as those related to privacy and online commerce, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Lanham Act and the Communications Decency Act are enacted by legislatures and interpreted by the courts, and as we expand geographically into jurisdictions where the underlying laws with respect to the potential liability of online intermediaries like ourselves are either unclear or less favorable. These claims, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming and costly to resolve, cause service upgrade delays, require expensive changes in our methods of doing business, or could require us to pay damages or enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements.
	Indemnification Provisions
	In the ordinary course of business we have included limited indemnification provisions in certain of our agreements with parties with whom we have commercial relations. Under these contracts, we generally indemnify, hold harmless and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party in connection with claims by any third party with respect to our domain names, trademarks, logos and other branding elements to the extent that such marks are applicable to our performance under the subject agreement. In certain agreements, including both agreements under which we have developed technology for certain commercial parties and agreements with our clients, we have provided an indemnity for other types of third-party claims.
	In addition, we are required by our credit card processors to comply with credit card association operating rules, and we have agreed to indemnify our processors for any fines they are assessed by credit card associations as a result of processing payments for us. The credit card associations and their member banks set and interpret the credit card rules. Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover could adopt new operating rules or re-interpret existing rules that we or our credit card processors might find difficult to follow. We also could be subject to fines or increased fees from MasterCard and Visa.
	To date, no significant costs have been incurred, either individually or collectively, in connection with our indemnification provisions.
	Commitments and Guarantees
	At certain times, we enter into agreements where a letter of credit is required to ensure payment of future obligations by counterparties, such as our credit card processors and international taxing jurisdictions. Upon withdrawal, we are obligated to fund the executor bank on demand. We have not set aside specific funds to cover this potential obligation as we can generally recover these costs from our clients. If drawn upon, we expect to fund this commitment with cash and cash equivalents. There were $0.6 million and $3.6 million in undrawn letters of credit at December 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

	2010 Senior Convertible Notes
	On November 1, 2010, we sold and issued $345.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes (2010 Notes), in a private, unregistered offering. The 2010 Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured debt. The 2010 Notes were sold at their total principal amount. The 2010 Notes bear interest at the rate of 2.00% per annum from the date of issuance, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1, commencing on May 1, 2011. The 2010 Notes will mature, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms, on November 1, 2030.
	In 2013, we repurchased $5.4 million of the 2010 Notes in the open market at an average price of 98.8% of par. In 2013, the net loss on extinguishment of debt, which is net of the gain on sale and the write-off of debt issuance costs, was immaterial. In 2012, we repurchased $43.9 million of the 2010 Notes in the open market at an average price of 98.5% of par. In 2012, the loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.1 million, which is net of the gain on sale and the write-off of debt issuance costs. Notes repurchased are deemed to be extinguished for accounting purposes.
	Holders have the right to convert some or all of the 2010 Notes at any time prior to the maturity date into shares of our common stock at the initial conversion rate of 20.3537 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of the 2010 Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $49.13 per share. At the initial conversion rate, assuming the conversion of all remaining $295.8 million in aggregate principal amount, the 2010 Notes may be converted into approximately 6,019,607 shares of our common stock. We will adjust the conversion price if certain events occur on or before November 1, 2015, as specified in the related indenture.
	At any time on or after November 1, 2015, and prior to the maturity date, we may redeem for cash some or all of the 2010 Notes at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2010 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
	Holders have the right to require us to repurchase some or all of their 2010 Notes for cash on each of November 1, 2015, November 1, 2020 and November 1, 2025, at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2010 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date. If we undergo certain types of fundamental changes prior to the maturity date, holders of the 2010 Notes will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase some or all of their 2010 Notes at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the 2010 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of our $295.8 million and $301.1 million 2010 senior convertible notes was valued at $298.3 million and $285.3 million, respectively, based on the quoted fair market values of the debt. Debt is classified as a level 3 fair value measurement. We determine fair value based on the market approach.
	2004 Senior Convertible Notes
	In 2004, we sold and issued $195.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.25% senior convertible notes due January 1, 2024 (2004 Notes), in a private, unregistered offering. The 2004 Notes were sold at their principal amount. On January 1, 2009, the majority of the holders of the 2004 Notes exercised the option to require us to repurchase those Notes. On January 1, 2014, the majority of the remaining holders of the 2004 Notes exercised the option to require us to repurchase those Notes. Notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $0.1 million remain outstanding after the January 1, 2014 repurchase and are classified as non-current within "Senior convertible notes" in our Consolidated Balance sheet as of December 31, 2013. The $8.7 million of 2004 Notes that were repurchased on January 1, 2014 are classified as current in "Other current liabilities" in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013. Holders of the remaining $0.1 million outstanding 2004 Notes have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes prior to maturity on January 1, 2019.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of our $8.8 million 2004 senior convertible notes was valued at $8.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively, based on the quoted fair market values of the debt. Debt is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement. We determine fair value based on a market approach.
	We incurred interest expense of $7.8 million, $9.0 million and $9.0 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to our senior convertible notes.

	Acquisition of LML Payment Systems, Inc.
	On January 10, 2013 we acquired 100% of the capital stock of LML Payment Systems, Inc., a publically held payment service provider with operations in Victoria, British Columbia in an all cash transaction valued at $3.45 per share. The aggregate purchase price was $55.8 million, net of cash acquired of $47.0 million. Acquisition and integration costs of $5.7 million and $0.8 million were expensed as incurred, and were recorded in the line item "General and administrative" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. LML is a leading provider of payment processing services to the Canadian small and medium sized business market. This acquisition was made to broaden our online payments services to businesses of all sizes. The goodwill arising from the transaction consists primarily of the assembled workforce and synergies expected to be gained when combining the complimentary Digital River and LML business models. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
	LML revenue for the period starting as of the acquisition date of January 10, 2013, and ending on December 31, 2013, was $24.1 million. The legal entities acquired had a net loss for the period starting as of the acquisition date of January 10, 2013, and ending on December 31, 2013, of $0.6 million. The total legal entity losses include integration expenses of $1.4 million, but exclude any corporate allocations.
	The purchase price for the LML acquisition has been assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair value at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is summarized in the following table (in thousands):
		LML Payment

	For the LML acquisition, customer and partner relationships have a weighted average useful life of 5.0 years, trade names have a weighted average useful life of 5.0 years and other intangibles have a weighted average useful life of 4.8 years.
	Amortization expense of LML acquisition-related intangible assets was $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Estimated amortization expense for the remaining life of the LML intangible assets, is as follows (in thousands):

	The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for Digital River, Inc. and LML. The consolidated financial statements include the historical operating results of each business acquired from the date of acquisition.
	The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the transaction, are factually supportable and, in the case of the pro forma results of operations, have a nonrecurring impact. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to amortization of acquired intangible assets of $5.4 million, less elimination of LML historical intangible amortization expense of $0.6 million and income taxes benefit of $2.6 million.

	On September 30, 2013, we sold CustomCD, Inc., which was based in Portland, Oregon in a stock sale to a former employee. We have recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of $0.1 million within "Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The results of operations of CustomCD, including the loss on the sale, have been excluded from the results of continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations. We continue to utilize the services of CustomCD to provide back-up CDs to our customers. Expenses totaling $1.3 million, $1.5 million and $1.6 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are reflected in "Direct cost of sales" related to these services.
	On October 1, 2013, we sold Digital River Education Services, Inc., which was based in Plano, Texas in a stock sale to two former employees. We have recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of $1.8 million within "Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The results of operations of DRES, including the loss on the sale, have been excluded from the results of continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations.
	We do not allocate interest income or interest expense to discontinued operations. The operating results of the discontinued operations included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 2013, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

	In the fourth quarter of 2012, we sold CCNow, Inc. to Snorrason Holdings, a privately held e-commerce service provider. Proceeds from the sale totaled $0.5 million and a gain of $0.2 million was recorded in conjunction with the divestiture. The operations of CCNow and the gain on the sale are not considered to be material to our consolidated financial statements and thus are not separately disclosed within discontinued operations.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
Principles of Consolidation and Classification	'
	Principles of Consolidation and Classification
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digital River, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	Foreign Currency Translation
	Substantially all of our foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the reported period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within stockholders' equity. Losses resulting from foreign currency transactions were $1.3 million, $0.4 million and $1.5 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are recorded within "Other income (expense), net".
	We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our risks relate to the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency denominated operating sales and expenses and exchange rate translation losses (or gains) associated with economic interests that are denominated in a foreign currency. The risk of translation losses due to foreign exchange volatility is partially mitigated by the use of foreign exchange forward contracts with maturities of less than three months. These derivative transactions are not designated as hedges and are adjusted to fair value through income each period. The principal exposures mitigated were the Euro, Australian dollar, British pound, Canadian dollar, Danish krone and Japanese yen currencies. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recorded a loss of $0.1 million, a gain of $0.1 million, and a loss of $0.3 million, respectively, on derivative settlements within "Other income (expense), net". We held no open foreign exchange forward contracts at December 31, 2013 and the notional amount of holdings at December 31, 2012 was $1.9 million. The gain (loss) on derivative settlements and the notional amounts held at the respective year ends are not material when compared to our net income (loss) and our overall cash and cash equivalents reported for the respective periods.
	Our foreign currency contracts contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. We minimize such risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions of high credit quality.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments and money market accounts, that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and that have original or remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Short-Term Investments	'
	Short-Term Investments
	Our short-term investments consist of debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale and are carried on our balance sheets at their market value with cumulative unrealized gains or losses recorded net of tax as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within stockholders' equity. We classify all of our available-for-sale securities, except for our auction rate securities, as current assets, as these securities represent investments available for current corporate purposes. Upon the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale, the amount reclassified out of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" into earnings is based on the specific identification method.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	'
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	We use estimates in determining our allowance for doubtful accounts which are based on our historical experience and current trends. We must estimate the collectability of our billed accounts receivable. We analyze accounts receivable and consider our historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We must make judgments and estimates in connection with the allowance in any accounting period. The uncollectible portion of receivables is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have ceased.
Prepaid Expenses and Other	'
	Prepaid Expenses and Other
	Prepaid expenses and other are largely comprised of prepaid licenses, deferred set-up costs, deferred financing costs, notes receivable, value added taxes, income tax receivable and restricted cash. Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents that are held in escrow accounts, or are otherwise restricted by agreements with third parties, for a particular purpose. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $3.6 million and $0.4 million of restricted cash, respectively. In 2012, $0.6 million of notes receivable, lent through a short term promissory note, was deemed to be uncollectable and a full reserve was recorded against the note at both December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Computer equipment, office furniture and purchased and internally developed software are depreciated or amortized under the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of three to seven years and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the asset life or remaining length of the lease. Useful lives are based on our estimates of the period of time over which the assets will generate revenue or benefit our business. We review assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value we are carrying on our financial statements for an asset may not be recoverable. Our evaluation considers non-financial data such as changes in the operating environment and business strategy, competitive information, market trends and operating performance. Property and equipment at December 31 consisted of the following (in thousands):
		2013			2012
	Computer hardware and software	$	174,928		$	155,916
	Furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements		12,339			12,040
	Total property and equipment		187,267			167,956
	Accumulated depreciation and amortization		(133,497	)		(114,858	)
	Net property and equipment	$	53,770		$	53,098
	Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations was $22.1 million, $20.2 million and $22.0 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Repairs and maintenance costs are charged directly to expense as incurred. Major renewals or replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.
Software Development	'
	Software Development
	Costs to develop software for internal use are capitalized when the criteria for capitalization under U.S. GAAP is met. This criteria includes that the project must be approved by senior management, costs must be related to new development or significant upgrades or enhancements to existing software, and completion and future utilization of the development must be probable. Costs related to development that do not meet these criteria are expensed in the period incurred. Capitalized costs of completed projects are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, net software for internal use was $16.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill
	We have a single reporting unit. We complete our goodwill impairment analysis annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our single reporting unit below its carrying amount.
	In conducting our impairment analysis, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If after assessing all relevant qualitative factors, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a blended income and market approach is then used to determine the fair value of our sole reporting unit and any applicable impairment charge. The application of goodwill impairment tests requires management judgment for many of the inputs. Key assumptions included in the impairment test include our revenue growth rate, discount rate, and estimates of our future cash flows. Changes in these estimates could result in additional impairment of goodwill in a future period. Any impairment charges reflect our view of anticipated risks based on our expectations of market and general economic conditions. See Note 5—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further details regarding our 2013 qualitative impairment analysis and 2012 quantitative analysis.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets
	We amortize certain definite lived intangibles over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on our estimates of the period of time over which the assets will generate revenue or benefit our business. We review assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value we are carrying on our financial statements for an asset may not be recoverable. Our evaluation considers non-financial data such as changes in the operating environment and business strategy, competitive information, market trends and operating performance. If there are indications that an impairment may have occurred, we compare an undiscounted cash flow analysis to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, we measure the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. See Note 5—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for further details.
Long-Term Investments	'
	Long-Term Investments
	Our long-term investments consist of market basis equity investments, cost method equity investments and auction rate securities. The market basis equity investments and auction rate securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried on our balance sheet at their market value with cumulative unrealized gains or losses recorded net of tax as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" within stockholders' equity. Upon the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale, the amount reclassified out of "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" into earnings is based on the specific identification method.
	We also have equity investments that are accounted for under the cost method included in long-term investments. We review the key characteristics of our investments and their classification in accordance with U.S. GAAP on an annual basis, or when indications of potential impairment exist. If a decline in the fair value of a security is deemed by management to be other-than-temporary, we write down the cost basis of the investment to fair value, and the amount of the write-down is included in net earnings.
Other Assets	'
	Other Assets
	The following table summarizes our other assets as of December 31 (in thousands):
		2013			2012
	Debt financing costs, net	$	1,410		$	3,323
	Other		657			990
	Total other assets	$	2,067		$	4,313
	Debt financing costs, net include broker, legal, accounting and other fees associated with entering into our 2010 and 2004 senior convertible notes. We amortize debt financing costs over the original term of the debt.
Discontinued Operations	'
	Discontinued Operations
	We separately classify the results of operations and the assets and liabilities of material components or businesses that have been sold, disposed, or that meet the criteria for held for sale within our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets. As allowed under U.S. GAAP, we do not reclassify the cash flows of discontinued businesses within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In determining if the criteria for separate presentation is met, we assess if the operations and cash flows of the business have been, or will be, eliminated from ongoing operations and whether we will have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the business after the disposal transaction. The presentation of corresponding prior periods is updated to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 15—Discontinued Operations for further discussion.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	'
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) includes revenues, expenses, and gains and losses that are excluded from net earnings under GAAP. Items of comprehensive income (loss) are unrealized gains and losses on investments and foreign currency translation adjustments which are added to net income (loss) to compute comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) related to cumulative translation adjustments has no tax expense or benefit as these funds are indefinitely invested.
	The following table summarizes the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, by component as of December 31 (in thousands):
		Foreign currency			Unrealized gain			Total
		translation			(loss) on
		adjustment			investments
	Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	5,074		$	(4,502	)	$	572

	The following table summarizes the reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2013 (in thousands):
	Reclassification out of Accumulated other comprehensive income	Amount reclassified			Affected line item in the

		comprehensive income			Operations
	Realized gains (losses) on investments
		$	18		Other income (expense), net
			(7	)	Income tax benefit (expense)
		$	11		Net income (loss)
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	We recognize revenue from services rendered once all the following criteria for revenue recognition have been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; (2) the services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and, (4) collection of the amounts due is reasonably assured.
	We sell both digital and physical products on behalf of our customers and charge transaction fees based on a percentage of the sale price. These revenues are recorded net of related costs of sales as generally our clients control product choices and are subject to inventory risks. Revenue for these sales is recognized upon fulfillment, when title and significant risk of ownership passes to the end customer.
	We provide payment processing services to merchants and charge monthly service and transaction based fees. Transaction fees are recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs. Service fees are recognized over the covered period.
	When we provide additional deliverables in connection with our e-commerce and payments solution arrangements, including site set up services, these services do not meet the criteria of separate units of accounting as the services do not have value to the client on a standalone basis. Therefore we account for these deliverables as one unit of accounting and recognize them over the term of the associated contract. When we provide client services on a standalone basis, such as website design, custom development, data backup, analytical marketing, affiliate marketing and email marketing services, revenue is recognized as the services are provided.
	Shipping revenue is recorded net of any associated costs. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer are not recorded as revenue.
Credit Card Chargeback Reserve	'
	Credit Card Chargeback Reserve
	We use estimates based on historical experience and current trends to determine accrued chargeback expenses. The following table illustrates our provision for chargeback losses as a percentage of revenue for 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands, except percentages):
		2013			2012			2011
	Revenue	$	389,679		$	370,496		$	376,469
	Provision for Credit Card Chargebacks		332			688			452
	Provision for Credit Card Chargebacks as a % of Revenue		0.1	%		0.2	%		0.1	%
	Determining appropriate reserves for chargeback transactions is an inherently uncertain process. The reserves are maintained at a level we deem appropriate to provide for losses incurred on revenue earned in each period.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense	'
	Stock-Based Compensation Expense
	We account for share-based payments made to our employees and directors, including stock options and employee stock purchases made through our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) based on estimated fair values. The fair value of each stock option and employee stock purchase made through our ESPP are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares is determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. We estimated the fair value of performance share units with a market condition granted to certain executives on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo valuation model.
	Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and thus has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized stock-based compensation expense are reported as a financing cash flow.
Severance	'
	Severance
	We begin to accrue for severance and outplacement costs when all of the criteria for one-time employment termination benefits are met, which is generally at the time of communication to the employee. Total restructuring related severance expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $5.8 million, $1.7 million, and $0.0 million respectively.
Advertising Costs	'
	Advertising Costs
	The costs of advertising are charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred. We incurred advertising expense of $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We record deferred tax assets for favorable tax attributes, including tax loss carryforwards. We currently have U.S. tax loss carryforwards, including acquired operating tax loss carryforwards, and a lesser amount of acquired foreign operating tax loss carryforwards. We evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	ASU 2013-11—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists: In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, which requires an entity to present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction of the deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, if net settlement is required or expected. To the extent that net settlement is not required or expected, the unrecognized tax benefit must be presented as a liability. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Because this standard only affects the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and not the measurement of an unrecognized tax benefit, we do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
	ASU 2013-02—Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income:    In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, which required entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either in the financial statements or footnotes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail on these amounts. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We have adopted the new guidance in ASU 2013-02 as of the period ended March 31, 2013, and its adoption did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
	We have determined that all other recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, or do not apply to our operations.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications
	Certain items in the prior years' Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year presentation.
	The results of the operations of CustomCD, Inc. (CustomCD) and Digital River Education Services, Inc. (DRES), which were sold on September 30, 2013 and October 1, 2013, respectively, have been classified within Discontinued Operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. The operations of these entities in the corresponding years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been reclassified into Discontinued Operations for comparative purposes to conform to the current year presentation. In addition, the assets and liabilities of CustomCD and DRES in the December 31, 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheet have been reclassified and separately presented as current assets and current liabilities of discontinued operations.
	Through December 31, 2012, we reported payment processing fees, chargebacks, and directly related personnel expenses within the "Sales and marketing" and "General and administrative" line items. We have reclassified these expenses to the "Direct cost of services" line as these costs are associated directly with services rendered. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, excluding amounts related to CustomCD and DRES which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, we have reclassified $55.5 million and $49.0 million, respectively, previously reported as "Sales and marketing" and $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, previously reported as "General and administrative" to "Direct cost of services". The reclassifications did not have an effect on reported consolidated net income (loss).
