Additionally, we aim to acquire, develop and launch other content, social and ecommerce websites focused on the 18-to-34 year old demographic, primarily in the United States and Asia.
	Funding and Liquidity Considerations
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $219 thousand.
	The Company has incurred net losses and generated negative cash flow from operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and in each fiscal year since its inception, and has an accumulated deficit of $124.6 million as of September 30, 2014. The Company’s revenues were $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, generated principally from owning and operating its digital media properties.  The Company’s primary focus has been on organically building and strategically acquiring digital media properties.
	On January 29, 2014 (the “January 2014 Note”), November 14, 2013 (the “November 2013 Note”), April 2, 2013 (the “April 2013 Note”), and November 23, 2012 (the “November 2012 Note”), the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to Digipac, LLC (“Digipac”), of which Kai-Shing Tao, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is the manager and a member, and Douglas Osrow, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, is a member, in the original principal amounts of $3.5 million, $2.5 million, $4.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in exchange for cash equal to the respective original principal amounts.  The January 2014 Note, November 2013 Note, April 2013 Note and November 2012 Note are collectively referred to herein as the “Digipac Convertible Notes”.
	The January 2014 Note and November 2013 Note bear interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum for the first year and 8.67% per annum thereafter, with interest payable quarterly and all unpaid principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on the second anniversary of issuance.  At any time, Digipac may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under such notes into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.03 per share for the January 2014 Note and $3.75 per share for the November 2013 Note.  The Company also may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under such notes into common stock at the applicable conversion price if the volume weighted average price of the common stock is equal to at least 150% of the applicable conversion price for at least 30 of the 40 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Company’s election.  Such notes also provide that the Company and Digipac will negotiate and enter into a registration rights agreement providing Digipac with demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such notes.  The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), registering the resale of 1,420,497 shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the January 2014 Note and the November 2013 Note, which was declared effective on August 26, 2014. The Company may prepay all or a portion of such notes at any time upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice to Digipac.
	The April 2013 Note bore interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum for the first year and 8.67% per annum thereafter, and the November 2012 Note bore interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum.  The outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under the April 2013 Note and the November 2012 Note were convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share for the April 2013 Note and $1.30 per share for the November 2012 Note.  On November 12, 2013, Digipac converted the $4.0 million principal amount and approximately $164 thousand accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the April 2013 Note into 2,082,233 shares of common stock, and converted the $1.8 million principal amount and approximately $117 thousand accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the November 2012 Note into 1,474,439 shares of common stock.
	In connection with the issuance of the November 2012 Note, the Company and Digipac entered into a Security Agreement dated as of November 23, 2012 (the “Security Agreement”) to secure the Company’s obligations under such note.  The Security Agreement provides that the Company’s obligations are secured by all assets of the Company other than the shares of common stock of Sharecare, Inc. owned by the Company.  The Company and Digipac subsequently entered into amendments to the Security Agreement in connection with the issuances of the April 2013 Note, the November 2013 Note and the January 2014 Note to include the Company’s obligations under such notes as obligations secured by the Security Agreement.
	On September 11, 2014, Digipac loaned the Company $350 thousand, which loan is evidenced by a Demand Note dated as of the same date (the “Demand Note”). The Demand Note bears interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum, with all principal and interest due and payable within 10 days after the Company’s receipt of a written demand from Digipac. If the Demand Note is not paid in full at the end of the 10 day period, the outstanding principal will bear interest at a rate of 8.25% per annum until paid in full. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Demand Note at any time without premium or penalty.
	On January 15, 2014, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Banks.com, completed an asset acquisition of the following domain names, which provide web-based tax extension services: www.taxextension.com, www.taxextensions.com, and www.onlinetaxextension.com, for an aggregate purchase price of $450 thousand.
	On February 11, 2014, the Company and Bombo Sports & Entertainment, LLC (“BSE”) entered into a Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company loaned BSE $1 million (the “BSE Loan Agreement”). On April 16, 2014, the Company and BSE entered into an amendment to the BSE Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company increased the amount of the loan to up to $1.35 million. On April 16, 2014, April 21, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the Company loaned BSE an additional $50 thousand, $150 thousand and $150 thousand, respectively, bringing the outstanding principal balance to $1.35 million. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with principal and interest due and payable within 10 days after the delivery of a written demand to BSE. If the loan is not paid in full at the end of the 10 day period, the outstanding principal will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum until paid in full. BSE may prepay all or any portion of the loan at any time without premium or penalty. On September 12, 2014, the Company delivered a written demand for payment to BSE. As of the date of this report payment has not been received and the Company has commenced legal proceedings against BSE and its controlling owner to recover the amount owed. See Notes 3 and 10 for additional information regarding the loan and related legal proceedings.
	On May 2, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 2, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), between Roomlia, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub” or “Roomlia”), and Hotelmobi Inc. (“Hotelmobi”), a company engaged in the business of developing, owning and operating mobile hotel booking applications.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Hotelmobi merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, referred to herein as the Merger.  As consideration for the Merger, the outstanding shares of Hotelmobi’s common stock were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of (i) 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued on the one year anniversary of the closing of the Merger, provided that the recipient is employed by the Company on such date or was terminated by the Company for any reason, (iii) warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share and (iv) warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share.  The warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued to former Hotelmobi stockholders in the Merger (the “Roomlia Warrants”) vest 12.5% on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning June 30, 2014, provided the recipient is employed by the Company on such date or has been terminated other than for Cause (as defined in the Merger Agreement).  The Roomlia Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of their issuance.  Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the Company paid Hotelmobi’s principal stockholders a total of approximately $172 thousand in cash in repayment of funds they loaned to Hotelmobi.
	On June 16, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 470,000 shares of common stock to six accredited investors in a private placement in exchange for $2.8 million in cash. On September 15, 2014 the Company sold 83,333 shares of common stock to an accredited investor in a private placement in exchange for $0.5 million in cash.
	The Company intends to fund its future operations, particularly its young adult lifestyle and personal finance properties, through dynamic growth. Additionally, the Company is actively engaged in evaluating future acquisitions to provide revenue growth and assessing the sale of certain non-core assets to provide capital. Alternatively, the Company may consider selling minority interests in certain of its operating businesses.  The Company has implemented measures to reduce operating costs and will continue to evaluate other opportunities to streamline costs.
	Absent any acquisitions of new businesses or material increases in revenues from its existing customers, current revenue growth will not be sufficient to sustain the Company’s operations in the long term. As such, the Company will, in all likelihood, need to obtain additional equity or debt financing and/or divest of certain assets or businesses, none of which can be assured on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In addition, any equity financing that might be obtained may dilute existing stockholders.  There is no certainty that the Company will be successful at raising capital, nor is there certainty around the amount of funds that may be raised. In addition, the success of the Company will be subject to the performance of the markets and the volatility of investor sentiment regarding macro and micro economic conditions. Any failure by the Company to successfully implement these plans would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, including the possible inability to continue operations.
	Based on the Company's most recent cash flow projections, the Company believes it has sufficient existing cash and cash equivalents and cash resources as of the date of this report to meet its ongoing requirements through December 31, 2014. Projecting operating results, however, is inherently uncertain as anticipated expenses may exceed current forecasts.
	Basis of Preparation
	The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Remark Media and its subsidiaries. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2014.
	All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, equity-method investments, and income taxes, among other things.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been provided, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
	The Company generally recognizes revenue from its network of domestic and international websites. Revenue is recognized as visitors are exposed to or react to advertisements on its websites, or purchase goods or services. Revenue from advertising is generated in the form of sponsored links and display ads. This includes both pay-per-performance ads and paid-for-impression ads. In the pay-per-performance model, revenue is generally earned based on the number of clicks or other actions taken associated with such ads; in the paid-for-impression model, revenue is derived from the display of ads.
	Operating Expenses
	General and administrative expenses include all legal, finance, accounting and administrative expenses such as professional fees and facilities costs.  Depreciation and amortization include the depreciation of our acquired fixed assets and amortization of software and definite-lived intangible assets.
	Purchase Price Allocations
	Occasionally, the Company enters into business combinations.  The purchase price is allocated to the various assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.  Fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon available information and may involve engaging an independent third party to perform an appraisal of tangible and intangible assets.  Estimating fair values can be complex and subject to significant business judgment and most commonly impacts property, equipment, software, and definite- or indefinite-lived intangible assets.
	Software Development Costs
	The Company capitalizes qualifying costs of computer software and website development costs. Costs incurred during the application development stage as well as upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are capitalized. The internally developed software costs capitalized were approximately $175 thousand and $80 thousand, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and are included in “Property, equipment and software” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Internally developed software and website development costs are being amortized utilizing the straight-line method over a period of three years, the expected period of the benefit. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded approximately $16 thousand and $12 thousand of amortization expense, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded approximately $27 thousand and $16 thousand of amortization expense, respectively.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company measures stock-based compensation at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award.  The Company recognizes the expense over the recipient’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions for the activity under its stock plans. Option pricing model input assumptions such as expected term, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate, among others, impact the fair value estimate.  These assumptions generally require significant analysis and use of judgment and estimates to develop. Options vest based on meeting a minimum service period or performance condition. Restricted stock grants are recorded using the fair value of the granted shares based on the market value at the grant date.  In addition, the forfeiture rate impacts the amount of aggregate compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop.
	The Company does not recognize a deferred tax asset for unrealized tax benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of the compensation recorded (excess tax benefit).  The Company applies the “with and without” approach for utilization of tax attributes upon realization of net operating losses in the future.  This method allocates stock-based compensation benefits last among other tax benefits recognized.  In addition, the Company applies the “direct only” method in calculating the amount of windfalls or shortfalls.
	Long-lived Assets
	The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets with finite useful lives for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such trigger events or changes in circumstances may include the following: a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, including those resulting from technology advancements in the industry, the impact of competition or other factors that could affect the value of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse deterioration in the amount of revenue or cash flows the Company expects to generate; an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of a long-lived asset; current or future operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset; or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based upon estimated discounted future cash flows. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment loss related to the net carrying value of the intangible assets for its subsidiary MyStockFundSecurities, Inc. of approximately $268 thousand. There was no impairment loss recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2014 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets consist of trade and domain names, customer relationships, acquired technology, a license, a non-compete agreement and other intangible assets with useful lives ranging from two years to 11 years and amortized using the straight-line method, except for the license, which has an indefinite life. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded approximately $205 thousand and $100 thousand of amortization expense, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded approximately $475 thousand and $280 thousand of amortization expense, respectively.
	Assets Formerly Held For Sale
	The Company has early adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08 "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)" (together, "ASU 2014-08"), which change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 205-20.  As a result of this update, beginning in the second quarter of 2014, the Company will no longer classify individual properties that are either disposed of or are classified as held for sale as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations if the removal, or anticipated removal, of the asset(s) from the reporting entity does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when disposed of.  ASU 2014-08 requires previously reported assets that qualified for discontinued operations reporting to continue to be reported in that manner.
	In June 2014, the Company reached a decision to actively market for sale one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, MyStockFundSecurities, Inc. (“MyStockFund”), excluding any current obligations owed to FOLIO fn, Inc (“FOLIO”), to better focus its resources on the Company's core strategy. In accordance with the terms and conditions of a Settlement Agreement dated April 11, 2013 between MyStockFund and FOLIO, MyStockFund is required to transfer all customer accounts to FOLIO. The transfer of customer accounts is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2015, at which time MyStockFund will be sold or dissolved after all remaining assets of the entity are sold and/or transferred to another subsidiary of the Company.  In accordance with ASC 360-10-45, the asset met all of the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, held for sale assets were approximately $18 thousand and held for sale liabilities were approximately $8 thousand. These assets are net of an impairment charge of approximately $268 thousand. The assets and liabilities are comprised of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid assets and intangible assets, as well as accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
	Upon the initial designation as an asset held for sale, the Company recorded the carrying value of each asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and ceased recording depreciation. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the criteria for classifying the assets as held for sale were no longer met and the assets previously classified as held for sale were reclassified as held and used and measured individually at the lower of the following:
	a.	the carrying amount before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used;
	b.	the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
	Derivative Liability for Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
	The Company’s derivative liability for warrants represents the fair value of warrants issued in connection with an equity financing related to the Banks.com acquisition consummated on February 26, 2012. These warrants are presented as liabilities based on certain exercise price reductions provisions. The liability, which is recorded at the fair value on the balance sheet, is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation method. The change in the fair value of these warrants is recognized as a component of other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	Notes Receivable
	Notes receivable from debt facilities originated by the Company are recorded at cost and evaluated for impairment. Relevant factors considered in the determination of recoverability include the interest rate offered in the market, as well as management’s estimate of projected cash flows and profitability.
	Interest Income
	Interest income earned by the Company on the note receivable is recognized under the accrual basis of accounting.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)," which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in ASC Subtopic 205-20. This pronouncement has been early adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2014.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue From Contracts With Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of ASU 2014-09, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"), which outlines the Company’s responsibility for disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The provisions state that the Company should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early application permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of ASU 2014-15, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	The Company has evaluated all other new ASUs issued by the FASB in 2014 and has concluded these updates do not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes — Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”) which is part of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The new guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit and a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward on a net basis as part of a deferred tax asset, unless the unrecognized tax benefit is not available to reduce the deferred tax asset component or would not be utilized for that purpose, then a liability would be recognized. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. Adoption of this ASU had no impact on the reported consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

	INVESTMENT IN SHARECARE
	In 2009, the Company co-founded Sharecare, Inc., a U.S.-based venture between: Dr. Mehmet Oz, a leading cardiac surgeon, health expert and host of “The Dr. Oz Show”; HARPO Productions, producer of “The Oprah Winfrey Show”; Discovery Communications, the world’s largest non-fiction media company; Jeff Arnold, WebMD founder and Discovery Communications’ former Chief of Global Digital Strategy; Sony Pictures Television; and Remark Media (“Sharecare”).  Sharecare was created to build a web-based platform that simplifies the search for health and wellness information by organizing a vast array of health-related questions and providing multiple answers from experts, organizations, publishers, and caregivers representing various points of view. As a part of the transactions, the Company received an equity stake in Sharecare, sold substantially all of the assets of its DailyStrength subsidiary to Sharecare, agreed to provide management and website development services to Sharecare, and received a license to use Sharecare’s web platform for its own businesses.
	Until November 30, 2012, the Company accounted for its equity interest in Sharecare under the equity method of accounting.  Under this method, the Company recorded its proportionate share of Sharecare’s net income or loss based on Sharecare’s financial results.  As of December 1, 2012, the Company moved to the cost method of accounting due to a lower percentage of ownership (10.8% as of December 31, 2012), nonparticipation in policy-making processes, and limited existence of technology dependency by Sharecare on the Company.
	On July 3, 2014, the Company entered into a Stock Subscription Agreement with Sharecare to purchase 3,201 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 7,420 Warrant Shares convertible to Common Stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share, for $0.8 million in cash. As of September 30, 2014, the Company owned approximately 8.18% of Sharecare’s stock and had representation on its Board of Directors.
	The following table shows selected unaudited financial data of Sharecare including Remark Media’s proportional share of net loss in Sharecare as reported under the equity method for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a $0.2 million change in its estimate of its proportional share in loss of equity-method investment related to the period from January 1, 2012 through November 30, 2012, based on information that was finalized and provided to the Company subsequent to the issuance of its December 31, 2012 financial statements:

	NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM BOMBO SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT, LLC
	On February 11, 2014, the Company and Bombo Sports & Entertainment, LLC, or BSE, entered into the BSE Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company loaned BSE $1 million. On April 16, 2014, the Company and BSE entered into an amendment to the BSE Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company increased the amount of the loan to up to $1.35 million. On April 16, 2014, April 21, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the Company loaned BSE an additional $50 thousand, $150 thousand and $150 thousand, respectively, bringing the outstanding principal balance to $1.35 million. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at 5% per annum, with principal and interest due and payable within 10 days after the delivery of a written demand to BSE. If the loan is not paid in full at the end of the 10 day period, the outstanding principal will bear interest at 12% per annum until it is paid in full. BSE may prepay all or any portion of the loan at any time without premium or penalty. On September 12, 2014, the Company delivered a written demand for payment to BSE. As of the date of this report payment has not been received and the Company has commenced legal proceedings against BSE and its controlling owner to recover the amount owed. See Note 10 for additional information regarding these legal proceedings.
	BSE’s obligations under the BSE Loan Agreement are secured by (i) a membership interest pledge agreement pursuant to which Robert S. Potter, the manager and owner of 86% membership interest in BSE, pledged to the Company all of his right, title, and interest in and to such membership interest and (ii) a pledge by BSE to the Company of all BSE’s assets.
	The interest income on the loan was approximately $19 thousand and $40 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The common stock warrants which are classified as liabilities are recorded at their fair market value as of each reporting period.
	The measurement of fair market value requires the use of techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The inputs create the following fair market value hierarchy:
	•	Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	•	Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations where inputs are observable or where significant value drivers are observable.
	•	Level 3 - Instruments where significant value drivers are unobservable to third parties.
	The Company uses model-derived valuations where inputs are both observable and unobservable in active markets to determine the fair value of certain common stock warrants on a recurring basis. The lowest level of significant inputs are classified as Level 3; thus, the common stock warrants are classified as Level 3. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model to fair value the warrants.
	Assumptions used in calculating the fair value of these warrants were noted as follows:
		September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	Annual rate of quarterly dividend	0.00%		0.00%
	Expected volatility	90.00%		100%
	Risk free interest rate	1.03%		1.10%
	Expected remaining term (in years)	2.91		1.16 - 3.66
	In addition to the assumptions above, the Company takes into consideration whether or not it would participate in another round of equity financing and, if so, what the stock price would be for such a financing at that time.
	At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of liability classified warrants were as follows:
		September 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
	Derivative liabilities	$	828,820		$	769,284
	The change in the fair value of the warrants accounted for as derivative liabilities is reflected below:
	Balance at January 1, 2014	$	769,284
	Increase in fair value resulting in loss	59,536
	Fair value at September 30, 2014	$	828,820
	The Company will continue to adjust the warrant liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants, at which time the liability will be reclassified to stockholders’ equity.

	ACQUISITIONS
	Hotelmobi
	On May 2, 2014, the Company acquired Hotelmobi for total cash and equity consideration of $6.8 million pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as described in detail in Note 1. The common stock component of the purchase price was valued using the Company’s closing share price as of May 2, 2014, the Valuation date, multiplied by the number of shares issued. The shares to be issued on the one-year anniversary of the closing were valued similarly except a small discount for lack of marketability was applied as these shares are not readily marketable for a one year period due to their delayed issuance. The warrants were valued utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values on the date of the acquisition.
	Of the intangible assets acquired, $0.5 million relate to trade names and domain names and have an amortization period of 11 years, $0.4 million relate to acquired technology and have an amortization period of 5 years, and $2.4 million relate to client relationships and have an amortization period of 10 years.
	Trade names and domain names were valued using a variation of the income approach, the relief from royalty method. This method is based on the assumption that a market participant would pay an assumed royalty rate (as a percent of revenue) to license the Company’s trademarks and trade names in an arms-length transaction. Acquired technology was valued using the cost approach. Client relationships were valued using a variation of the income approach, the multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, the fair value of the asset reflects the present value of the projected stream of net cash flows that will be generated by the asset over the projection period.
	The table below illustrates the final allocation of the purchase price over the identifiable assets and assumed liabilities on May 2, 2014.

The Company recorded approximately $28 thousand and $9 thousand in amortization for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014.
	Pop Factory, LLC
	On March 29, 2013, Remark Media acquired Pop Factory, LLC (“Pop Factory”) for total cash consideration of $2.4 million.

	On December 7, 2010, Banks.com entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement with Domain Capital, LLC (“Domain Capital”) consisting of an agreement to assign the domain name, banks.com, to Domain Capital in exchange for $0.6 million in cash and a lease agreement to lease back the domain name from Domain Capital for a five year term. The lease provides for a bargain purchase option at the end of its term, effectively transferring ownership back to Banks.com. Effective June 28, 2012, Banks.com became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Remark Media and pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger among the Company, Remark Florida, Inc. and Banks.com dated February 26, 2012, Remark Media assumed all its outstanding liabilities. As of September 30, 2014, total obligations under this agreement were $0.2 million, $0.15 million of which is included under the current portion of capital lease obligations and the remainder is included under capital lease obligations, net of current portion on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2014.

	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	The Company has entered into operating leases for office space.  The lease agreement associated with its headquarters required a security deposit and included an allowance, which was used against leasehold improvements. Rental expense for operating leases, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, was approximately $240 thousand and $401 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $127 thousand and $135 thousand for three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The following table represents the approximate future minimum lease payments at September 30, 2014 due under non-cancellable operating lease agreements with terms in excess of a year:
		Operating Lease
		Commitments
	2014	$	84,000
	2015	336,000
	2016	56,000
	Total commitments	$	476,000
	On May 1, 2013, Remark Media entered into a sublease for its Concourse Six office space through the remainder of the lease term giving cause to an abandonment of lease analysis. Following the exit of the lease, Remark Media recognized an early termination liability of $0.3 million adjusted for sublease rental income, leasehold allowances, and the use of security deposits. The early termination liability principally represents the escalating lease payments inherent in the deferred rent as of the cease use date, net of the sub-lease income. The estimated fair value of the costs was based on the terms of the lease agreement and sub-lease agreement and, as such, represents the lease commitment over the next three years. The Company elected not to present value that obligation because the difference between the gross and discounted future cash flow settlements was immaterial to the financial statements.
	On the cease use date, the Company recorded an early termination expense of approximately $16 thousand, which was adjusted for the remaining deferred rent, use of security deposits, and future sublease income. These fees were included in the general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. In June 2014, the Company recorded a reduction to the early termination liability of approximately $93 thousand to reflect the remaining rent due net of sublease rental income. This adjustment was included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The early termination liability has been reduced by approximately $147 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	On December 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement with the landlord of its Concourse Five office space, waiving all rights to apply unpaid leasehold improvements. The termination penalty for abandoning the Concourse Five office space was approximately $83 thousand, which was recorded as an expense and included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The early termination liability was extinguished as of March 31, 2014.
	The following depicts the remaining accrual balances for these early termination costs:
		Accrual at								Accrual at
		December 31,		Charges or			Costs paid or			September 30,
		2013		Reversals			Settled			2014
	Lease termination, facility closure and other costs of Concourse 6	$	277,747	$	(92,843	)	$	(53,832	)	$	131,072

	Total	$	360,247	$	(92,843	)	$	(136,332	)	$	131,072
	The early termination liability of approximately $131 thousand for the Concourse Six office space is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
	Contingencies
	The Company is engaged from time to time in certain legal disputes arising in the ordinary course of business.   The Company accrues liabilities for legal contingencies when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company will review these accruals and adjust them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained, and the Company’s views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations, or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company’s accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. Management believes that the outcome of any such matters will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company has authorization to issue 800,000 shares under its 2006 Equity Incentive Plan adopted April 13, 2006 (the “2006 Plan”), 525,000 shares under its 2010 Equity Incentive Plan adopted June 15, 2010, and modified on December 30, 2011 (the “2010 Plan”) and 1,500,000 shares under its 2014 Incentive Plan adopted February 17, 2014 (the “2014 Plan”), to help attract, retain and motivate its eligible executives, employees, officers, directors and consultants.  Options to purchase common stock under the 2006 Plan, 2010 Plan and 2014 Plan have been granted to the Company’s officers and employees with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant.
	The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes it as an expense over the requisite service period.  Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was $6.6 million and $0.4 million and for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.6 million and approximately $37 thousand, respectively.  An expense of $0.7 million was included in stock compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to modifying the vesting terms of 210,000 stock option grants and 170,000 restricted shares from 3-to-5 years to a 1 year vesting period in the first quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense relating to non-vested stock options approximated $1.9 million, and is expected to be recognized through 2017.
	In February 2014, the Company granted 275,000 restricted shares at a per share price of $6.10 to Pacific Star Capital Management, LP, an entity controlled by Kai-Shing Tao, the Company’s Chairman  of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, as compensation for providing Mr. Tao’s services as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from September 2012 to December 2013.  The grant date fair value of these restricted shares was approximately $1.7 million and was recognized as compensation expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company granted 1,185,000 options, net of forfeitures, at an exercise price ranging from $6.30 to $10.02 per share to employees and directors. The grant date fair value of options vesting during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $3.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, former employees exercised 73,574 stock options with various grant dates for total cash consideration of $0.2 million.

	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	As discussed in detail in Note 1, the Company has outstanding the November 2013 Note, the January 2014 Note and the Demand Note issued to Digipac in the aggregate principal amount of $6.4 million.  Kai-Shing Tao, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is the manager and a member, and Douglas Osrow, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, is a member, of Digipac.
	The future maturity schedule of these notes as of September 30, 2014 is as follows:
	Year ending December 31,
	2014	$	350,000
	2015	2,500,000
	2016	3,500,000
	The November 2013 Note and the January 2014 Note mature on November 14, 2015 and January 29, 2016, respectively. The Demand Note is payable within 10 days after the Company’s receipt of a written demand from Digipac.
	The Company determined that the January 2014 Note contained an embedded beneficial conversion feature as the January 2014 Note is convertible at a price per share of common stock equal to 99% of the closing stock price as of the effective date of the January 2014 Note. The value of the embedded conversion feature was calculated using the intrinsic method and the Company recorded a debt discount of approximately $35 thousand, which will be amortized over the life of the January 2014 Note using the effective interest method. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company amortized approximately $12 thousand of the debt discount as interest expense. The unamortized discount at September 30, 2014 was approximately $23 thousand.
	The related party interest expense for the Digipac Convertible Notes and the Demand Note was approximately $280 thousand and $225 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was approximately $100 thousand and $95 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Funding and Liquidity Considerations	'
	Funding and Liquidity Considerations
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $219 thousand.
	The Company has incurred net losses and generated negative cash flow from operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and in each fiscal year since its inception, and has an accumulated deficit of $124.6 million as of September 30, 2014. The Company’s revenues were $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, generated principally from owning and operating its digital media properties.  The Company’s primary focus has been on organically building and strategically acquiring digital media properties.
	On January 29, 2014 (the “January 2014 Note”), November 14, 2013 (the “November 2013 Note”), April 2, 2013 (the “April 2013 Note”), and November 23, 2012 (the “November 2012 Note”), the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to Digipac, LLC (“Digipac”), of which Kai-Shing Tao, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is the manager and a member, and Douglas Osrow, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, is a member, in the original principal amounts of $3.5 million, $2.5 million, $4.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in exchange for cash equal to the respective original principal amounts.  The January 2014 Note, November 2013 Note, April 2013 Note and November 2012 Note are collectively referred to herein as the “Digipac Convertible Notes”.
	The January 2014 Note and November 2013 Note bear interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum for the first year and 8.67% per annum thereafter, with interest payable quarterly and all unpaid principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on the second anniversary of issuance.  At any time, Digipac may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under such notes into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.03 per share for the January 2014 Note and $3.75 per share for the November 2013 Note.  The Company also may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under such notes into common stock at the applicable conversion price if the volume weighted average price of the common stock is equal to at least 150% of the applicable conversion price for at least 30 of the 40 trading days immediately prior to the date of the Company’s election.  Such notes also provide that the Company and Digipac will negotiate and enter into a registration rights agreement providing Digipac with demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such notes.  The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), registering the resale of 1,420,497 shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the January 2014 Note and the November 2013 Note, which was declared effective on August 26, 2014. The Company may prepay all or a portion of such notes at any time upon at least 15 days’ prior written notice to Digipac.
	The April 2013 Note bore interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum for the first year and 8.67% per annum thereafter, and the November 2012 Note bore interest at a rate of 6.67% per annum.  The outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest under the April 2013 Note and the November 2012 Note were convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share for the April 2013 Note and $1.30 per share for the November 2012 Note.  On November 12, 2013, Digipac converted the $4.0 million principal amount and approximately $164 thousand accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the April 2013 Note into 2,082,233 shares of common stock, and converted the $1.8 million principal amount and approximately $117 thousand accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the November 2012 Note into 1,474,439 shares of common stock.
	In connection with the issuance of the November 2012 Note, the Company and Digipac entered into a Security Agreement dated as of November 23, 2012 (the “Security Agreement”) to secure the Company’s obligations under such note.  The Security Agreement provides that the Company’s obligations are secured by all assets of the Company other than the shares of common stock of Sharecare, Inc. owned by the Company.  The Company and Digipac subsequently entered into amendments to the Security Agreement in connection with the issuances of the April 2013 Note, the November 2013 Note and the January 2014 Note to include the Company’s obligations under such notes as obligations secured by the Security Agreement.
	On September 11, 2014, Digipac loaned the Company $350 thousand, which loan is evidenced by a Demand Note dated as of the same date (the “Demand Note”). The Demand Note bears interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum, with all principal and interest due and payable within 10 days after the Company’s receipt of a written demand from Digipac. If the Demand Note is not paid in full at the end of the 10 day period, the outstanding principal will bear interest at a rate of 8.25% per annum until paid in full. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Demand Note at any time without premium or penalty.
	On January 15, 2014, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Banks.com, completed an asset acquisition of the following domain names, which provide web-based tax extension services: www.taxextension.com, www.taxextensions.com, and www.onlinetaxextension.com, for an aggregate purchase price of $450 thousand.
	On February 11, 2014, the Company and Bombo Sports & Entertainment, LLC (“BSE”) entered into a Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company loaned BSE $1 million (the “BSE Loan Agreement”). On April 16, 2014, the Company and BSE entered into an amendment to the BSE Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Company increased the amount of the loan to up to $1.35 million. On April 16, 2014, April 21, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the Company loaned BSE an additional $50 thousand, $150 thousand and $150 thousand, respectively, bringing the outstanding principal balance to $1.35 million. The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, with principal and interest due and payable within 10 days after the delivery of a written demand to BSE. If the loan is not paid in full at the end of the 10 day period, the outstanding principal will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum until paid in full. BSE may prepay all or any portion of the loan at any time without premium or penalty. On September 12, 2014, the Company delivered a written demand for payment to BSE. As of the date of this report payment has not been received and the Company has commenced legal proceedings against BSE and its controlling owner to recover the amount owed. See Notes 3 and 10 for additional information regarding the loan and related legal proceedings.
	On May 2, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 2, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), between Roomlia, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub” or “Roomlia”), and Hotelmobi Inc. (“Hotelmobi”), a company engaged in the business of developing, owning and operating mobile hotel booking applications.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Hotelmobi merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, referred to herein as the Merger.  As consideration for the Merger, the outstanding shares of Hotelmobi’s common stock were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of (i) 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued on the one year anniversary of the closing of the Merger, provided that the recipient is employed by the Company on such date or was terminated by the Company for any reason, (iii) warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share and (iv) warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share.  The warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued to former Hotelmobi stockholders in the Merger (the “Roomlia Warrants”) vest 12.5% on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning June 30, 2014, provided the recipient is employed by the Company on such date or has been terminated other than for Cause (as defined in the Merger Agreement).  The Roomlia Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of their issuance.  Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, concurrently with the closing of the Merger, the Company paid Hotelmobi’s principal stockholders a total of approximately $172 thousand in cash in repayment of funds they loaned to Hotelmobi.
	On June 16, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 470,000 shares of common stock to six accredited investors in a private placement in exchange for $2.8 million in cash. On September 15, 2014 the Company sold 83,333 shares of common stock to an accredited investor in a private placement in exchange for $0.5 million in cash.
	The Company intends to fund its future operations, particularly its young adult lifestyle and personal finance properties, through dynamic growth. Additionally, the Company is actively engaged in evaluating future acquisitions to provide revenue growth and assessing the sale of certain non-core assets to provide capital. Alternatively, the Company may consider selling minority interests in certain of its operating businesses.  The Company has implemented measures to reduce operating costs and will continue to evaluate other opportunities to streamline costs.
	Absent any acquisitions of new businesses or material increases in revenues from its existing customers, current revenue growth will not be sufficient to sustain the Company’s operations in the long term. As such, the Company will, in all likelihood, need to obtain additional equity or debt financing and/or divest of certain assets or businesses, none of which can be assured on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In addition, any equity financing that might be obtained may dilute existing stockholders.  There is no certainty that the Company will be successful at raising capital, nor is there certainty around the amount of funds that may be raised. In addition, the success of the Company will be subject to the performance of the markets and the volatility of investor sentiment regarding macro and micro economic conditions. Any failure by the Company to successfully implement these plans would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, including the possible inability to continue operations.
	Based on the Company's most recent cash flow projections, the Company believes it has sufficient existing cash and cash equivalents and cash resources as of the date of this report to meet its ongoing requirements through December 31, 2014. Projecting operating results, however, is inherently uncertain as anticipated expenses may exceed current forecasts.
Basis of Preparation	'
	Basis of Preparation
	The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for financial information have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Remark Media and its subsidiaries. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2014.
	All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, useful lives of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, equity-method investments, and income taxes, among other things.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been provided, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
	The Company generally recognizes revenue from its network of domestic and international websites. Revenue is recognized as visitors are exposed to or react to advertisements on its websites, or purchase goods or services. Revenue from advertising is generated in the form of sponsored links and display ads. This includes both pay-per-performance ads and paid-for-impression ads. In the pay-per-performance model, revenue is generally earned based on the number of clicks or other actions taken associated with such ads; in the paid-for-impression model, revenue is derived from the display of ads.
Operating Expenses	'
	Operating Expenses
	General and administrative expenses include all legal, finance, accounting and administrative expenses such as professional fees and facilities costs.  Depreciation and amortization include the depreciation of our acquired fixed assets and amortization of software and definite-lived intangible assets.
Purchase Price Allocations	'
	Purchase Price Allocations
	Occasionally, the Company enters into business combinations.  The purchase price is allocated to the various assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.  Fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon available information and may involve engaging an independent third party to perform an appraisal of tangible and intangible assets.  Estimating fair values can be complex and subject to significant business judgment and most commonly impacts property, equipment, software, and definite- or indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Software Development Costs	'
	Software Development Costs
	The Company capitalizes qualifying costs of computer software and website development costs. Costs incurred during the application development stage as well as upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality are capitalized. The internally developed software costs capitalized were approximately $175 thousand and $80 thousand, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and are included in “Property, equipment and software” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Internally developed software and website development costs are being amortized utilizing the straight-line method over a period of three years, the expected period of the benefit.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company measures stock-based compensation at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award.  The Company recognizes the expense over the recipient’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted average assumptions for the activity under its stock plans. Option pricing model input assumptions such as expected term, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate, among others, impact the fair value estimate.  These assumptions generally require significant analysis and use of judgment and estimates to develop. Options vest based on meeting a minimum service period or performance condition. Restricted stock grants are recorded using the fair value of the granted shares based on the market value at the grant date.  In addition, the forfeiture rate impacts the amount of aggregate compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop.
	The Company does not recognize a deferred tax asset for unrealized tax benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of the compensation recorded (excess tax benefit).  The Company applies the “with and without” approach for utilization of tax attributes upon realization of net operating losses in the future.  This method allocates stock-based compensation benefits last among other tax benefits recognized.  In addition, the Company applies the “direct only” method in calculating the amount of windfalls or shortfalls.
Long-lived Assets	'
	Long-lived Assets
	The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets with finite useful lives for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such trigger events or changes in circumstances may include the following: a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, including those resulting from technology advancements in the industry, the impact of competition or other factors that could affect the value of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse deterioration in the amount of revenue or cash flows the Company expects to generate; an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of a long-lived asset; current or future operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset; or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based upon estimated discounted future cash flows.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets consist of trade and domain names, customer relationships, acquired technology, a license, a non-compete agreement and other intangible assets with useful lives ranging from two years to 11 years and amortized using the straight-line method, except for the license, which has an indefinite life.
	Long-lived Assets
	The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets with finite useful lives for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such trigger events or changes in circumstances may include the following: a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, including those resulting from technology advancements in the industry, the impact of competition or other factors that could affect the value of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse deterioration in the amount of revenue or cash flows the Company expects to generate; an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or development of a long-lived asset; current or future operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset; or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The Company performs impairment testing at the asset level that represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based upon estimated discounted future cash flows.
Assets Formerly Held For Sale	'
	Assets Formerly Held For Sale
	The Company has early adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08 "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)" (together, "ASU 2014-08"), which change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 205-20.  As a result of this update, beginning in the second quarter of 2014, the Company will no longer classify individual properties that are either disposed of or are classified as held for sale as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations if the removal, or anticipated removal, of the asset(s) from the reporting entity does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when disposed of.  ASU 2014-08 requires previously reported assets that qualified for discontinued operations reporting to continue to be reported in that manner.
	In June 2014, the Company reached a decision to actively market for sale one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, MyStockFundSecurities, Inc. (“MyStockFund”), excluding any current obligations owed to FOLIO fn, Inc (“FOLIO”), to better focus its resources on the Company's core strategy. In accordance with the terms and conditions of a Settlement Agreement dated April 11, 2013 between MyStockFund and FOLIO, MyStockFund is required to transfer all customer accounts to FOLIO. The transfer of customer accounts is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2015, at which time MyStockFund will be sold or dissolved after all remaining assets of the entity are sold and/or transferred to another subsidiary of the Company.  In accordance with ASC 360-10-45, the asset met all of the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, held for sale assets were approximately $18 thousand and held for sale liabilities were approximately $8 thousand. These assets are net of an impairment charge of approximately $268 thousand. The assets and liabilities are comprised of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid assets and intangible assets, as well as accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
	Upon the initial designation as an asset held for sale, the Company recorded the carrying value of each asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and ceased recording depreciation. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the criteria for classifying the assets as held for sale were no longer met and the assets previously classified as held for sale were reclassified as held and used and measured individually at the lower of the following:
	a.	the carrying amount before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used;
	b.	the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.
Derivative Liability for Warrants to Purchase Common Stock	'
	Derivative Liability for Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
	The Company’s derivative liability for warrants represents the fair value of warrants issued in connection with an equity financing related to the Banks.com acquisition consummated on February 26, 2012. These warrants are presented as liabilities based on certain exercise price reductions provisions. The liability, which is recorded at the fair value on the balance sheet, is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation method. The change in the fair value of these warrants is recognized as a component of other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Notes Receivable	'
	Notes Receivable
	Notes receivable from debt facilities originated by the Company are recorded at cost and evaluated for impairment. Relevant factors considered in the determination of recoverability include the interest rate offered in the market, as well as management’s estimate of projected cash flows and profitability.
Interest Income	'
	Interest Income
	Interest income earned by the Company on the note receivable is recognized under the accrual basis of accounting.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)," which changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in ASC Subtopic 205-20. This pronouncement has been early adopted by the Company in the second quarter of 2014.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue From Contracts With Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of ASU 2014-09, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"), which outlines the Company’s responsibility for disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The provisions state that the Company should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early application permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of ASU 2014-15, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	The Company has evaluated all other new ASUs issued by the FASB in 2014 and has concluded these updates do not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes — Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”) which is part of ASC 740, Income Taxes. The new guidance requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit and a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward on a net basis as part of a deferred tax asset, unless the unrecognized tax benefit is not available to reduce the deferred tax asset component or would not be utilized for that purpose, then a liability would be recognized. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. Adoption of this ASU had no impact on the reported consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The common stock warrants which are classified as liabilities are recorded at their fair market value as of each reporting period.
	The measurement of fair market value requires the use of techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The inputs create the following fair market value hierarchy:
	•	Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	•	Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations where inputs are observable or where significant value drivers are observable.
	•	Level 3 - Instruments where significant value drivers are unobservable to third parties.
	The Company uses model-derived valuations where inputs are both observable and unobservable in active markets to determine the fair value of certain common stock warrants on a recurring basis. The lowest level of significant inputs are classified as Level 3; thus, the common stock warrants are classified as Level 3. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model to fair value the warrants.
