DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	Description of Business
	United Online, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "United Online" or the "Company"), through its operating subsidiaries, provides consumer services and products over the Internet under a number of brands, including NetZero, Juno, MyPoints, Classmates, StayFriends, and Trombi.
	Effective in the first quarter of 2015, the Company modified how it reports segment information to the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") as the information regularly reviewed by the CODM had changed. As a result of the changes, the Company now reports three operating segments to the CODM, including the Communications segment, as well as separately reporting the operating results of the Commerce & Loyalty and Social Media segments (which in prior periods were reported to the CODM together as the Content & Media segment). This change has been reflected through a retroactive revision of prior-period segment information to conform to the newly-defined segment information set forth in this reporting period.
	As discussed above, the Company reports its business in three reportable segments: Communications, Commerce & Loyalty and Social Media. The Company's primary Communications service is Internet access. The Company's Commerce & Loyalty segment provides a complete web, browser and mobile shopping experience through a portfolio of apps, browser extensions and online portals and promotes commerce and user engagement from its loyalty marketing service. The Company's Social Media segment provides social networking services and products. On a combined basis, the Company's web properties attract a significant number of Internet users and the Company offers a broad array of Internet marketing services for advertisers.
	The Company's corporate headquarters are located in Woodland Hills, California, and the Company also maintains offices in Seattle, Washington; Erlangen, Germany; Berlin, Germany; San Francisco, California; Schaumburg, Illinois; Fort Lee, New Jersey; and Hyderabad, India.
	Basis of Presentation
	The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), including those for interim financial information, and with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, filed on March 2, 2015, with the SEC in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP.
	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	The most significant areas of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that require management judgment include the Company's revenue recognition, goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets, member redemption liability, income taxes, and legal contingencies.
	The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and other obligations through at least the next 12 months.
	Accounting Policies
	Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies.
	Revision of Previously-Issued Financial Statements—In connection with the preparation of the Company's provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that the accounting for income taxes in the prior periods needed to be revised. In addition, the revisions in the accounting for income taxes also contributed to an increase to the goodwill impairment charge recorded by its Classmates reporting unit during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company's prior-period financial statements were revised in connection with the filing of the Company's Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014. The table below revises the prior-period financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2014:

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize 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. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09 and issued an exposure draft with a 30-day comment period. Public entities would be permitted to elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The core principle of the guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU No. 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205- 40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The update provides GAAP guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The update provides GAAP guidance on evaluating the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments in this update also provide a basis for evaluating whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

	Common Stock Repurchases
	In May 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program (the "Program") that allows the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock through open market or privately negotiated transactions based on prevailing market conditions and other factors. From time to time since then, the Board of Directors has increased the amount authorized for repurchase under this Program and has extended the Program. From August 2001 through December 31, 2010, the Company had repurchased $150.2 million of its common stock under the Program, leaving $49.8 million of authorization remaining under the Program. In February 2011, the Board of Directors extended the Program through December 31, 2011 and authorized an increase in the $49.8 million authorization remaining to $80.0 million. The Board of Directors extended the Program again in December 2011 (through December 31, 2012), in January 2013, (through December 31, 2013), and in September 2013 (through December 31, 2014). In October 2014, the Board of Directors further extended the Program through December 31, 2015. There were no repurchases under the Program during the year ended December 31, 2014 or the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and, at March 31, 2015, the authorization remaining under the Program was $80.0 million.
	Shares withheld upon the vesting of restricted stock units and upon the issuance of stock awards to pay minimum statutory employee withholding taxes are considered common stock repurchases, but are not counted as purchases against the Program. Upon vesting of most restricted stock units or issuance of stock awards, we currently do not collect the minimum statutory withholding taxes from employees. Instead, we automatically withhold, from the restricted stock units that vest and from the stock awards that are issued, the portion of those shares with a fair market value equal to the amount of the minimum statutory employee withholding taxes due, which is accounted for as a repurchase of common stock. We then pay the minimum statutory employee withholding taxes in cash. The amounts remitted in the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $1.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for which the Company withheld 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, that were underlying the restricted stock units that vested.

INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES	9. INCOME TAXES
	The Company's provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 34% primarily due to a provision for income taxes related to the Company's foreign operations, an income tax accrual related to certain goodwill assets, and a tax benefit related to an audit settlement for tax years 2009 through 2012. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company utilized the actual effective tax rate (discrete method) in determining the domestic income tax expense, rather than the annual effective tax rate method, as allowed under ASC 740-270-30-36, Income Taxes—Interim Reporting.
	The Company's tax provision has an unusual relationship to pre-tax loss primarily due to the existence of a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance. This circumstance generally results in a zero net tax provision since the income tax expense or benefit that would otherwise be recognized is offset by the change in the valuation allowance. However, the tax expense recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 included an accrual of a non-cash tax expense of approximately $0.3 million in connection with the tax amortization of certain goodwill assets that is not available to offset existing deferred tax assets (termed "naked credits"). Specifically, the Company does not consider the deferred tax liabilities related to certain goodwill assets when determining the need for a valuation allowance.
	In March 2015, the Company reached an audit settlement with the Internal Revenue Service related to tax years 2009 through 2012 and, in connection with such settlement, will remit approximately $6.7 million to the Internal Revenue Service in the quarter ending June 30, 2015.

At March 31, 2015, accrued restructuring and other exit costs totaled $0.1 million.
	In the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded restructuring and other exit costs totaling $2.3 million, which included $1.0 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million of employee termination costs in the Commerce & Loyalty, Social Media and Communications segments, respectively, as well as $0.8 million of unallocated corporate employee termination costs.

	In June 2011, Memory Lane, Inc., a California corporation, filed a complaint in United States District Court, Central District of California, against Classmates International, Inc., Classmates Online, Inc. and Classmates, Inc. (then known as Memory Lane, Inc.) ("Classmates"), alleging false designation of origin under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. section 1125, and state and common law unfair competition. The complaint included requests for an award of damages and for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the request for preliminary injunctive relief, no motion for such relief was filed. Classmates responded to the complaint in September 2011. In October 2011, the plaintiff amended its complaint to, among other things, dismiss Classmates International, Inc. and add United Online, Inc. as a defendant. In February 2014, the jury issued a verdict for the defendants, concluding that the defendants did not infringe plaintiff's trademark and the court entered judgment in favor of the defendants. In March 2014 plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the judgment in favor of defendants. The plaintiff's appeal brief was filed in November 2014. Classmates' opposition brief was filed in December 2014. Plaintiff's reply brief was filed on March 2, 2015. Classmates' reply brief was filed on April 15, 2015.
	In March 2014, Modern Telecom Systems LLC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division, against Juno Online Services, Inc. and NetZero, Inc. alleging infringement of certain patents relating to the commercial operation of their dial-up internet services. The complaint seeks an injunction, damages and other relief. On July 10, 2014, Juno Online Services, Inc. and NetZero, Inc. were served with the complaint. On July 23, 2014, Juno Online Services, Inc. and NetZero, Inc. were served with an amended complaint in the same matter. In November 2014, Juno Online Services, Inc. and NetZero, Inc. filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings seeking dismissal of the amended complaint. The motion was heard on March 2, 2015 and the court denied the motion. A status conference was held on April 20, 2015, which determined certain scheduling and that this case would not be consolidated with other cases brought by plaintiff against other defendants. The current schedule includes a trial date of late 2016.
	The Company has been cooperating with certain governmental authorities in connection with their respective investigations of its former post-transaction sales practices and certain other current or former business practices.
	•	In 2010, Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM Inc. received subpoenas from the Attorney General for the State of Kansas and the Attorney General for the State of Maryland, respectively. These subpoenas were issued on behalf of a Multistate Work Group that currently consists of the Attorneys General for the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin. The inquiry concerns certain post-transaction sales practices in which these companies previously engaged with certain third-party vendors and certain auto-renewal practices of Classmates, Inc. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company received an offer of settlement from the Multistate Work Group consisting of certain injunctive relief and the consideration of two areas of monetary relief: (1) restitution to consumers and (2) a $20 million payment by Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM for the violations alleged by the Multistate Work Group and to reimburse the Multistate Work Group for its investigation costs. The Company rejected the Multistate Work Group's offer and has since had ongoing discussions with the Multistate Work Group regarding a negotiated resolution. In addition, there have been a series of offers and counter-offers between the parties. In December 2014, Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM, Inc. proposed to the Multistate Work Group to resolve the matter without admitting liability by making a payment of $8 million and providing additional restitution up to a maximum of $2.5 million. In January 2015, the Multistate Work Group provided a counter offer seeking a payment from Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM, Inc. in the amount of $8 million and restitution by Classmates, Inc. up to a maximum of $3 million, with any restitution not paid to consumers being paid to the Attorneys General. In March 2015, Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM, Inc. accepted the monetary terms of this counter offer, but sought additional changes to certain non-monetary provisions of the counter offer. In April 2015, the Multistate Work Group indicated that the participating Attorneys General had tentatively agreed to the changed terms requested by Classmates, Inc. and FTD.COM and that the parties could commence the process to finalize consent decrees setting forth these terms with the various states. The parties are finalizing consent decrees and anticipate that they will be signed shortly. Until final consent decrees are entered into by all of the parties, there can be no assurances as to the terms on which the Multistate Work Group and Classmates, Inc. may agree to settle this matter (and how such settlement may affect Classmates, Inc.'s ongoing business), or that any settlement of this matter may be reached. If no settlement is reached, certain Attorneys General of the Multistate Work Group may file litigation against Classmates, Inc. and, in the event of litigation, Classmates, Inc. intends to vigorously defend itself.
	•	In 2011, Classmates, Inc. received a civil investigative demand from the Attorney General for the State of Washington regarding its marketing, refund, cancelation, and renewal practices. Prior to that, in 2009, Classmates, Inc. had received a civil investigative demand from the Attorney General for the State of Washington regarding certain post-transaction sales practices in which it had previously engaged with certain third-party vendors. In 2012, the Attorney General for the State of Washington joined the aforementioned Multistate Work Group. The Company believes that by joining the Multistate Work Group, the Attorney General's investigation may have been consolidated into the Multistate Work Group's inquiry.
	In November 2013, we consummated the separation of our company into two independent, publicly-traded companies: United Online, Inc., which continues to operate our current business segments, and FTD Companies, Inc., which includes the domestic and international operations of our former FTD segment (the "FTD Spin-Off Transaction"). Prior to the completion of the FTD Spin-Off Transaction, the Company and FTD Companies, Inc. entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation Agreement"). The Separation Agreement addresses, among other things, the control and settlement of certain litigation matters that relate to the Company (and certain subsidiaries) and FTD Companies, Inc. (and certain subsidiaries), including the ongoing matters relating to the Multistate Work Group. The Separation Agreement also provides for the allocation of liabilities and expenses between the Company and FTD Companies, Inc. with respect to these matters. It also establishes procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification, insurance claims and related matters.
	The Company cannot predict the outcome of these or any other governmental investigations or other legal actions or their potential implications for its business. In addition, the Company, at times, has negotiated resolutions related to certain governmental investigations. For example, in 2010, Classmates, Inc. (then known as Classmates Online, Inc.) paid $960,000 to resolve an investigation of the Attorney General for the State of New York related to its former post-transaction sales practices; and in July 2013, Classmates, Inc. (formerly known as Memory Lane, Inc.) paid $300,000 to resolve an investigation of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia related to its former post-transaction sales practices. There are no assurances that additional governmental investigations or other legal actions will not be instituted in connection with the Company's former post-transaction sales practices or other current or former business practices.
	The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. The Company may be unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss due to various reasons, including, among others: (i) if the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) if the proceedings are in early stages; (iii) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions, or settlements; (iv) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; and (v) if there are novel or unsettled legal theories presented. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. At March 31, 2015, the Company had reserves totaling $8.2 million for estimated losses related to certain matters described above, including the Multistate Work Group matter. With respect to the legal matters described above, excluding the Multistate Work Group's inquiry of Classmates, Inc. and the Modern Telecom Systems complaint, the Company has determined, based on its current knowledge, that the amount of possible loss or range of loss, including any reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued, is not reasonably estimable. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company's control. As such, even though the Company intends to vigorously defend itself with respect to its legal matters, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), including those for interim financial information, and with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, filed on March 2, 2015, with the SEC in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP.
	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	The most significant areas of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that require management judgment include the Company's revenue recognition, goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets, member redemption liability, income taxes, and legal contingencies.
	The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and other obligations through at least the next 12 months.
Revision of Previously-Issued Financial Statements	Revision of Previously-Issued Financial Statements—In connection with the preparation of the Company's provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company determined that the accounting for income taxes in the prior periods needed to be revised. In addition, the revisions in the accounting for income taxes also contributed to an increase to the goodwill impairment charge recorded by its Classmates reporting unit during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company's prior-period financial statements were revised in connection with the filing of the Company's Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014.

	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize 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. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09 and issued an exposure draft with a 30-day comment period. Public entities would be permitted to elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The core principle of the guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU No. 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205- 40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The update provides GAAP guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The update provides GAAP guidance on evaluating the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments in this update also provide a basis for evaluating whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
