REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
OpenTable, Inc.
San Francisco, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OpenTable, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of stockholders' equity, statements of comprehensive income, and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

OPENTABLE, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013, 2012 AND 2011

1. Organization and Description of Business
OpenTable, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "OpenTable" or the "Company"), was incorporated on October 13, 1998, and is a Delaware corporation. The Company provides solutions that form an online network connecting reservation-taking restaurants and people who dine at those restaurants. For restaurant customers, the Company provides a proprietary Electronic Reservation Book ("ERB"), and Connect. The ERB combines proprietary software and computer hardware to deliver a solution that computerizes restaurant host-stand operations and replaces traditional pen-and-paper reservation books. The ERB streamlines and enhances a number of business-critical functions and processes for restaurants, including reservation management, table management, guest recognition and email marketing. For restaurants that do not require the operational benefits of the ERB, OpenTable offers Connect, a web-based solution that enables participating restaurants to receive reservations from OpenTable's websites and mobile applications ("apps") as well as the websites and mobile apps of OpenTable's partners and restaurant customers. For diners, the Company operates popular restaurant reservation websites and mobile apps. OpenTable's websites and mobile apps enable diners to find, choose and book tables at restaurants on the OpenTable network, overcoming the inefficiencies associated with the traditional process of reserving by phone.
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in a dynamic industry, and accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, management of the Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on the Company in terms of its future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: the ability to maintain an adequate rate of growth; the impact of the current economic climate on its business; the ability to effectively manage its growth; the ability to attract new restaurant customers; the ability to increase the number of visitors to its websites and convert those visitors into diners; and the ability to retain existing restaurant customers and diners and encourage repeat reservations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OpenTable, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's operations are conducted in various countries around the world and the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries are reported in the applicable foreign currencies (functional currencies). Financial information is translated from the applicable functional currency to the U.S. dollar (the reporting currency) for inclusion in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Income, expenses and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period, and assets and liabilities are translated at fiscal period-end exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in Other Income, net in the accompanying consolidated income statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and U.S. government agency securities.


8



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments consist mainly of U.S. government agency securities and certificates of deposit. The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale securities. The Company has classified all available for sale securities with readily available markets as short term, even though the stated maturity may be one year or more beyond the current balance sheet date, because of the intent and ability to sell those securities as necessary, prior to maturity to meet liquidity needs. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. For the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments were not material and no impairment charges were recognized. An impairment charge is recorded in the consolidated income statements for declines in fair value below the cost of an individual investment that are deemed to be other than temporary. Management judges whether a decline in value is temporary based on available information, including the length of time that the fair market value has been below cost combined with the severity of the decline.
If a debt security in an unrealized loss position is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the difference between the security's then-current amortized cost basis and fair value is separated into (i) the amount of the impairment related to the credit loss (i.e., the credit loss component) and (ii) the amount of the impairment related to all other factors (i.e., the non-credit loss component). The credit loss component is recognized in earnings. The non-credit loss component would be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Fair Value
The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The accounting standard for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting standard establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company considers a market to be active when transactions for the asset occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The valuation of Level 3 investments requires the use of significant management judgments or estimation.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash with major financial institutions throughout the world, which management assesses to be of high credit quality, in order to limit the exposure of each investment.
Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is dispersed due to the large number of customers. In addition, the Company's credit risk is mitigated by the relatively short collection period. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable balances. The allowance is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with problem accounts. Accounts receivable written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts were $2,644,000, $2,430,000 and $2,058,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Property, Equipment and Software, net
Property, equipment and software, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is four years for restaurant hardware and three years for all other asset categories except leasehold improvement, which are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or expected useful life of the improvements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other ("Topic 350"). Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment on an annual or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Topic 350.
Website and Internal-Use Software Development Costs
Costs related to website and internal-use software development are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 350-50—Intangibles—Website Development Costs. Such software is primarily related to the Company's websites and mobile apps, including support systems. The Company begins to capitalize its costs to develop software when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria are expensed as incurred and recorded within Technology expenses within the accompanying consolidated income statements. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated between two to three years. Costs incurred for enhancements that are expected to result in additional features or functionality are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the enhancements, generally between two and three years.
The Company capitalized $11,355,000, $7,253,000 and $3,426,000 (including $1,437,000, $835,000 and $366,000 of capitalized stock-based compensation expense) in website and internal-use software development costs during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense totaled $5,535,000, $3,236,000 and $2,555,000 during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Such costs are recorded in operations and support within the accompanying consolidated income statements.
The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 985—Software in accounting for costs incurred in connection with development of the software contained in the ERB used by all restaurant customers. All costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of a computer product to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility and through general product release are capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. The period between technological feasibility and general product release is generally short and the costs incurred during this stage are not material for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and are expensed as incurred in Technology expense.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Revenue Recognition
Subscription revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis during the contractual period over which the service is delivered. Reservation revenues (or per-seated diner fees) are recognized on a transaction-by-transaction basis, as diners are seated by restaurant customers. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenues, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenues are shown net of $19,973,000, $15,419,000 and $12,444,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to redeemable Dining Points issued to diners during the respective periods.
Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

10



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Dining Point Loyalty Program
The Company provides a points-based loyalty program, "OpenTable Dining Rewards," to registered diners who book and honor reservations through the Company's websites and mobile apps. OpenTable Dining Rewards involves the issuance of "Dining Points" which can be accumulated and redeemed for "Dining Checks." When a diner accumulates a defined minimum number of points, he or she may redeem them for a Dining Check. Diners may present Dining Checks at any OpenTable restaurant and their bill is reduced by the check amount. If a diner does not make a seated reservation within any 12-month period, then his or her account is considered inactive and the accumulated Dining Points for the diner are reset to zero.
The Company recognizes the liability associated with Dining Points as contra-revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50—Revenue Recognition—Customer Payments and Incentives.
The recorded contra-revenue is an estimate of the eventual cash outlay related to the issued Dining Points and is recorded at the time the points are earned by the diner (when the diner is "seated" by the restaurant). The Company estimates the contra-revenue for the issued Dining Points by analyzing the historical patterns of redemption and check-cashing activity.
Technology
In the consolidated income statements, technology expense includes employee compensation associated with the development of new technologies.
Operations and Support
In the consolidated income statements, operations and support expense includes employee compensation associated with the installation, support and maintenance of customers, as well as costs associated with restaurant equipment and connectivity, outsourced call center costs, referral payments and shipping costs associated with restaurant equipment. Operations and Support expenses also include amortization of intangibles, resulting from various acquisitions, and capitalized website and internal-use software development costs.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated income statements. Advertising costs include online and offline marketing costs such as print media, e-mail marketing, pay per click, market research, printing, public relations and tradeshow expenses. The Company incurred $9,836,000, $2,910,000 and $3,578,000 of advertising costs during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures stock based awards at fair value and recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to its employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock units in accordance with ASC Topic 718 ("Topic 718")-Stock Compensation.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of its common stock price and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized using a graded vesting attribution method over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the consolidated income statements.
The cost of restricted stock units is determined using the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized using a graded vesting attribution method over the vesting period.

Net Income Per Share
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260—Earnings per Share.
Non-vested performance-based awards are included in the diluted shares outstanding each period if established performance criteria have been met at the end of the respective periods. 97,600 shares were excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as the performance criteria had not been met as of the respective dates. In June 2013, all remaining non-vested performance-based awards were cancelled. As such, no shares were included in the dilutive shares outstanding for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
Anti-dilutive shares in the amounts of 176,000, 1,482,000 and 150,000 were excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Specifically, it includes cumulative foreign currency translation and the unrealized gain (loss) from investments.
Accumulated other comprehensive income of $1,095,000 and $861,000, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, was comprised entirely of foreign currency translation gain.

12



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income Taxes
The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740—Income Taxes ("Topic 740"). Under this method, income tax expense or benefit is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for any income tax contingencies in accordance with Topic 740. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of currently enacted tax laws. The effects of any future changes in tax laws or rates have not been considered.
For the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements included herein, the Company estimates its income taxes and tax contingencies in each of the tax jurisdictions in which they operate prior to the completion and filing of its tax returns. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in net deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be realizable, and to the extent they believe that realizability is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. In assessing the need for any additional valuation allowance, the Company considers all the evidence available to us, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, legislative developments, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
As of December 31, 2013, it was considered "more likely than not" that the Company's deferred tax assets would be realized, with the exception of certain foreign tax credit carryforwards and certain foreign net operating losses which did not meet the "more likely than not" realizability threshold. A valuation allowance of approximately $0.9 million as of December 31, 2013 will result in an income tax benefit if and when the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will be realized.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
As of December 31, 2013, the Company believes that there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective that will have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions
Acquisition of Treat Technologies
In August 2012, the Company acquired Treat Technologies, Inc.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from one to four years. Amortization of intangible assets was $4,847,000, $3,638,000 and $3,958,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangibles subject to amortization, estimated future annual amortization expense is as follows: 2014: $6,146,000; 2015: $3,140,000; 2016: $600,000; 2017: $600,000; 2018:

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Continued)
$350,000. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Instead, they are reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The Company has defined its annual intangible impairment evaluation date as August 31, 2013 and determined that the carrying amount of the indefinite life intangible assets did not exceed the fair value. Additionally, there was no impairment of indefinite life intangible assets as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.
For the annual impairment analysis, goodwill is evaluated at the reporting unit level. The Company elected to skip the optional step of performing a qualitative review in both 2013 and 2012. Therefore, the evaluation for impairment was performed by comparing the reporting unit's carrying amount of goodwill to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The Company has defined its annual goodwill impairment evaluation date as August 31. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of August 31, 2013 and determined that the carrying amount of goodwill did not exceed the fair value of either reporting units. Additionally, there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2012 or 2013.


 7. Line of Credit
In January 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement, which provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of $50,000,000 to fund working capital and other general corporate needs and is available through January 2016. The credit agreement includes an unused line fee, the costs of which are recorded as interest expense. This credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants and precludes the payment of dividends to stockholders without the permission of the lender, subject to limited exceptions. No amounts were outstanding on this line of credit during the year ended or at December 31, 2013.


8. Commitments and Contingencies
Office Facility Leases
The Company leases its office facilities under operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through 2020. The terms of the lease agreements provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period.
Rental expense, principally for leased office space under operating lease commitments, was $3,056,000, $1,952,000 and $1,877,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Aggregate Future Lease Commitments
The Company's minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases for office space having initial terms in excess of one year are as follows at December 31, 2013:

Litigation
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9. Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock
At December 2013, there were 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, 25,300,522 shares issued and 23,376,047 shares outstanding. Holders of common stock are entitled to dividends if and when declared by the board of directors.
Treasury Stock
In November 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $50,000,000 of its outstanding common stock. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company repurchased 1,089,300 shares of common stock for $41.3 million. The Company completed the repurchase program on January 6, 2012, with the purchase of an additional 221,673 shares of common stock for $8.7 million.
In August 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to an additional $50,000,000 of its outstanding common stock. Under this repurchase program, 221,973 shares of common stock for $8.7 million were repurchased in the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 402,955 shares of common stock for $23.6 million under this repurchase program.
Common Stock Reserved For Future Issuance
At December 31, 2013, the Company has reserved the following shares of common stock for future issuances in connection with:

Stock options and restricted stock units outstanding
2,424,151

Shares available for future grants
1,362,743

Total
3,786,894


Stock Based Compensation
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which requires compensation costs related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on fair value.
Under Topic 718, the fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company determined weighted average valuation assumptions as follows:
Volatility—The computation of expected volatility includes the historical and implied stock volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group selected based on industry and market capitalization data, which has been weighted. The Company has increased and will continue to increase the weight of its own stock price volatility within the weighted average over time as sufficient trading history of its stock is established, with the intent of relying completely upon its own stock volatility in 2015.
Expected term—The expected term was estimated using the simplified method allowed under Topic 718.
Risk free rate—The risk free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group.

9. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

Forfeiture rate—The Company estimated the forfeiture rate based on its historical experience with forfeitures. The Company reviews the estimated forfeiture rates each period end and makes changes as factors affecting the forfeiture rate calculations and assumptions change.
Dividend yield—The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero.
The following summarizes the assumptions relating to the Company's stock options for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, as required under Topic 718:

Under Topic 718, the Company recorded net stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $12,285,000, $15,981,000 and $8,303,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Excess Tax Benefits
Topic 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $6,764,000, $11,448,000 and $11,098,000, respectively, of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
Stock Option Plans
Under the 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the "2009 Plan"), which the Company adopted in 2009, as of December 31, 2013, there were 1,362,743 shares of common stock reserved for the issuance of restricted stock, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, deferred stock, and options (incentive stock options ("ISOs") or nonstatutory stock options ("NSOs")) to eligible participants. The 2009 Plan provides that on the first day of each fiscal year the number of shares available for issuance shall increase by an amount equal to the lesser of 744,063 shares or 3% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or a lesser amount as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to this provision, in January 2014, the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2009 Plan increased by an additional 701,281. Other than in the case of an option grant pursuant to the terms of the JustChalo acquisition agreement, to date, both ISOs and NSOs have been granted at a price per share not less than the fair market value at the date of grant. Options granted typically vest and become fully exercisable over periods ranging from one to four years. Options granted are generally exercisable for up to 10 years. The Company began granting restricted stock units ("RSUs") to its employees in November 2010. RSUs typically vest and become exercisable annually, based on a one to four year total vesting term.
In June 2011, the President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") resigned his position as CEO, and agreed to serve as the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors ("Chairman"). Under the terms of the Company's amended and restated offer letter agreement with this executive in May 2011, a stock option for 214,000 shares, previously granted to this executive in January 2010, was modified, resulting in the cancellation of 171,200 unvested shares. The Company reversed $1.4 million in stock-based compensation expense that had previously been recorded on these shares. The remaining 42,800 shares were revalued as of the modification date and were scheduled to vest ratably over 24 months from the modification date. In December 2011, this same executive resigned his position as Chairman, and agreed to serve only in the capacity as a member of the Board of Directors. Under the terms of a letter agreement with this executive in December 2011, the above stock option grant was modified again, resulting in the cancellation of 32,100 unvested shares and a reversal of $1.2 million in stock-based compensation expense. The remaining 10,700 shares were revalued as of the second modification date, and $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2011 in conjunction with these shares being fully vested.

9. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

Under the 1999 Stock Plan, which expired in May 2009, the Company granted 342,574 performance-based stock options to two executives. The first option was granted in November 2005 for 244,974 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The second option was granted in July 2006 for 97,600 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The grant-date fair value for the first option was $380,000. The fair value is to be amortized over the period during which management has estimated the performance metrics will be achieved. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company concluded that there was no expectation that the balance of the performance metrics would be earned and all previously booked expense on the unvested shares, in the amount of $88,000, was reversed. Additionally, the executive to whom this option was granted ceased working for the Company during the fourth quarter of 2011. As such, all unvested shares were cancelled and returned to the plan. The grant-date fair value for the second option was $255,000. The fair value is to be amortized over the period during which management has estimated the performance metrics will be achieved by. For the second option, there was no stock-based compensation expense recognized in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The executive to whom this option was granted ceased working for the Company during the second quarter of 2013. As such, all unvested shares were cancelled and returned to the plan. As of December 31, 2013, there are no outstanding shares pertaining to either performance-based option grant.

RSUs typically vest and become exercisable annually, based on a one to four year total vesting term. Stock-based compensation expense is amortized using a graded vesting attribution method over the requisite service period.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company had net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance of approximately $30,366,000 and $22,811,000, respectively. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income, if any, the amount and timing of which are uncertain. Management evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the amount of the valuation allowance required. The Company's valuation allowance decreased by approximately $284,000 and decreased by approximately $1,566,000 during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The components of the Company's net deferred tax assets for federal and state income taxes at December 31 are as follows:

At December 31, 2013, the Company had federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,078,000, $7,695,000 and $4,064,000, respectively. If not utilized, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in 2032, the state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2015 and there is no expiration date on the aforementioned foreign net operating losses. As a result of Topic 718, Stock Compensation, the table of deferred tax assets and liabilities shown above does not include certain deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 that arose directly from tax deductions related to equity compensation in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting. Utilization of the

22



11. Income Taxes (Continued)
net operating loss carryforwards are subject to annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar state provisions.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company's California research and development credit carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $3,171,000, of which $2,748,000 will be credited directly to additional paid-in capital upon utilization. These carryforwards can be carried over indefinitely. In addition, the Company's California Enterprise Zone credit carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $1,639,000, of which $1,228,000 will be credited directly to additional paid-in capital upon realization. These carryforwards will begin to expire in 2025.
As of December 31, 2013, it was considered more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets would be realized with the exception of certain United Kingdom net operating losses of approximately $921,000 with indefinite life. The valuation allowance of approximately $921,000 as of December 31, 2013 will result in an income tax benefit if and when the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will be realized.
It is the practice and the intention of the Company to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries in those operations. As of December 31, 2013, the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investment in these foreign subsidiaries is insignificant and the determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability is not currently practical and the amount is not expected to be material.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized income tax benefits during the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

In the event that certain unrecognized tax benefits are recognized, the effective tax rate will be affected. Approximately $16,213,000 and $18,362,000 of unrecognized tax benefit would impact the effective tax rate at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, if recognized. The Company's policy is to classify interest accrued or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company accrued approximately $197,000 and reversed approximately $277,000 of interest and penalties during 2013 and in total as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, has recognized a liability for interest and penalties of approximately $696,000 and $777,000, respectively.
All tax years remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The Company files a federal and many state returns. The Company does not anticipate significant changes to its uncertain tax positions through the next fiscal year.

12. Employee Benefit Plan
In 1999, the Company adopted a defined contribution plan that is intended to qualify under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) plan provides retirement benefits for eligible employees. The 401(k) plan stipulates that eligible employees may elect to contribute to it upon date of hire. The Company began matching employee contributions under the terms of the 401(k) plan in 2007. Matching contributions totaled $333,000, $192,000 and $164,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

13. Segment Information
The Company operates in one industry - online reservations and guest management solutions. The Company has two reportable segments: North America and International, as defined by Topic 280 - Segment Reporting. Reportable segments have been identified based on how management makes operating decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources. The chief executive officer acts as the chief operating decision maker on behalf of both segments. The Company does not allocate assets discretely by reportable segments, and reviews asset information on a global basis, not by segment.
Summarized financial information concerning the reportable segments is as follows:

OPENTABLE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 

1. Organization and Description of Business
 
OpenTable, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “OpenTable” or the “Company”), was incorporated on October 13, 1998, and is a Delaware corporation. The Company provides solutions that form an online network connecting reservation-taking restaurants and people who dine at those restaurants. For restaurant customers, the Company provides a proprietary Electronic Reservation Book (“ERB”) and Connect. The ERB combines proprietary software and computer hardware to deliver a solution that computerizes restaurant host-stand operations and replaces traditional pen-and-paper reservation books. The ERB streamlines and enhances a number of business-critical functions and processes for restaurants, including reservation management, table management, guest recognition and email marketing. For restaurants that do not require the operational benefits of the ERB, OpenTable offers Connect, a web-based solution that enables participating restaurants to receive reservations from OpenTable’s websites and mobile applications (“apps”) as well as the websites and mobile apps of OpenTable’s partners and restaurant customers. For diners, the Company operates popular restaurant reservation websites and mobile apps. OpenTable’s websites and mobile apps enable diners to find, choose and book tables at restaurants on the OpenTable network, overcoming the inefficiencies associated with the traditional process of reserving by phone.
 
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Company operates in a dynamic industry, and accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, management of the Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: the ability to maintain an adequate rate of growth; the impact of the economic conditions on its business; the ability to attract new restaurant customers; the ability to increase the number of visitors to its websites and mobile apps and convert those visitors into diners; and the ability to retain existing restaurant customers and diners or encourage repeat reservations.

Merger

On June 12, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with The Priceline Group Inc. (NASDAQ: PCLN) ("Priceline") and Rhombus, Inc. ("Rhombus"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Priceline. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, on July 24, 2014, Rhombus merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Priceline. At the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of OpenTable common stock, other than shares owned by stockholders that perfected and did not withdraw a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, were converted into a right to receive an amount of cash equal to $103.00 per share, except for shares then owned by Priceline or its wholly owned subsidiary effecting the transaction and shares held in treasury of OpenTable or by any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, which shares were canceled and retired and ceased to exist, for a total value of approximately $2.5 billion. In addition, OpenTable incurred approximately $4.5 million in deal costs during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OpenTable, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

32


Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as filed on February 21, 2014 with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP, including notes to the consolidated financial statements.
 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s statement of financial position at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. All references to June 30, 2014 or to the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
 
Acquisition of Ness
In February 2014, the Company acquired Ness Computing, Inc., a provider of mobile personalized restaurant recommendations, for a purchase price of approximately $17.2 million in cash, or $11.3 million net of cash acquired. The Company recorded $1.2 million of goodwill and $8.5 million of developed technology which is being amortized over three years. The Company has included the effects of the transaction within the results of operations prospectively from February 4, 2014, the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information for this business combination has not been presented, as the effects were not material to the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will be effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016.
Entities can choose to apply the standard using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. Entities electing the full retrospective adoption will apply the standard to each period presented in the financial statements. This means that entities will have to apply the new guidance as if it had been in effect since the inception of all its contracts with customers presented in the financial statements. Entities that elect the modified retrospective approach will apply the guidance retrospectively only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. This means that entities will have to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. The new revenue standard will be applied to contracts that are in progress at the date of initial application.
The Company plans to adopt the new standard from January 1, 2017. The Company has not yet evaluated which adoption method it plans to use or the potential effect the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no investments that had maturity dates of greater than one year.

The Company classifies all investments as Level 2 assets.
 
The Company chose not to elect the fair value option as prescribed by ASC Topic 825—Financial Instruments for its financial assets and liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value. Therefore, financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value, such as accounts payable, are still reported at their carrying values.

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Continued)

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from one to four years. Amortization of intangible assets was $2.3 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $4.1 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Estimated future annual amortization expense is as follows: 2014 (remainder): $4.4 million; 2015: $6.0 million; 2016: $3.4 million; 2017: $1.1 million and 2018: $0.4 million. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Instead, they are reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The Company has defined its annual intangible impairment evaluation date as August 31. The Company performed its annual intangible impairment evaluation as of August 31, 2013 and determined that the carrying amount of the indefinite life intangible assets did not exceed the fair value. There was no impairment of indefinite life intangible assets as of December 31, 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company made a decision to discontinue the use of the toptable brand name in the U.K. marketplace and transition to a single OpenTable brand internationally, beginning in April 2014. Accordingly, the Company determined that the indefinite-lived toptable trademark was impaired as of March 31, 2014, resulting in an impairment loss of $12.6 million.
 
Goodwill is evaluated at the reporting unit level for impairment annually, or more frequently if events and conditions indicate goodwill may be impaired. The evaluation for impairment is performed by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The Company has defined its annual goodwill impairment evaluation date as August 31. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of August 31, 2013 and determined that the carrying amount of goodwill did not exceed the fair value of either reporting units. Additionally, there was no impairment of goodwill as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.


5. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Contractual Obligations
 
The Company leases its facilities under operating leases. These leases expire at various dates through 2020. The terms of the lease agreements provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

Litigation
 
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


6. Stockholders’ Equity
 
Treasury Stock
 
In August 2012, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company purchased 402,955 shares of stock for $23.4 million (including commissions) under this share repurchase program. No amounts were purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which requires compensation costs related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on fair value.
 




35


6. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)


Stock Options
 
Under Topic 718, the fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The following table summarizes the assumptions relating to the Company’s stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

The Company granted 64,800 and 100,453 stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 134,286 and 131,971 stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $2.2 million and $2.3 million for three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $5.0 million and $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
Restricted Stock Units
 
The cost of RSUs is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest and become exercisable annually, based on a one- to four-year total vesting term. Stock-based compensation expense is amortized using a graded vesting attribution method over the requisite service period.
 
The Company granted 28,688 and 81,412 RSUs during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 235,796 and 178,666 RSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3.5 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Excess Tax Benefits
 
ASC Topic 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $2.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and $4.0 million and $1.2 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.


7. Net Income Per Share

The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260—Earnings per Share.
 
Non-vested performance-based awards are included in the diluted shares outstanding each period if established performance criteria have been met at the end of the respective periods. In June 2013, all remaining non-vested performance-based awards were cancelled. As such, no such shares were included in the dilutive shares outstanding for the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
 



36


7. Net Income Per Share (Continued)

Anti-dilutive shares in the amounts of 133,000 and 218,000 were excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Anti-dilutive shares in the amounts of 116,000 and 238,000 were excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

8. Income Taxes
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million and $3.5 million which resulted in an effective tax rate of 37.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 88.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $4.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 36.4% and 32.8% for each respective period. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company's effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the $2.5 million of tax effects arising from the impairment loss of the toptable trademark as disclosed in Note 4. Excluding the tax effects of the impairment loss, the expected tax provision (derived from applying the federal statutory rate
to the Company’s income before income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014) did not significantly differ from the Company’s recorded income tax provision.

As disclosed in Note 1, the Company was acquired by Priceline on July 24, 2014. The Company incurred various transaction costs and has recorded income tax effects according to ASC 805-740.
 
ASC Topic 740—Income Taxes prescribes that a tax position is required to meet a minimum recognition threshold before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits were $17.1 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of accrued interest. No significant penalties have been recorded to date.



37


9. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
In accordance with Topic 220—Comprehensive Income, the Company reports by major components and, as a single total, the change in its net assets during the period from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income. Specifically, it includes cumulative foreign currency translation and unrealized gains (losses) from investments.
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income of $3.0 million and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, was comprised entirely of foreign currency translation gains.

10. Segment Information
 
The Company operates in one industry—online restaurant reservations and guest management solutions. The Company has two reportable segments: North America and International, as defined by Topic 280 — Segment Reporting. Reportable segments have been identified based on how management makes operating decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources. The chief executive officer acts as the chief operating decision maker on behalf of both segments. The Company does not allocate assets discretely by reportable segments, and reviews asset information on a global basis, not by segment.

Exhibit 99.3 OT


Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On June 12, 2014, OpenTable, Inc. ("OpenTable") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, or merger agreement, with The Priceline Group Inc. ("The Priceline Group") and Rhombus, Inc. ("Rhombus"), as a result of which OpenTable was acquired by The Priceline Group on July 24, 2014. In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, on July 24, 2014, Rhombus merged with and into OpenTable, with OpenTable continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Priceline Group, which is referred to herein as the merger. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, which we refer to as the pro forma statements of operations, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of The Priceline Group and OpenTable, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2013. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet, which we refer to as the pro forma balance sheet, as of June 30, 2014 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of The Priceline Group and OpenTable, giving effect to the merger as if it had been completed on June 30, 2014. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing effect on the combined results of The Priceline Group and OpenTable.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, which we refer to as the statements, and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with The Priceline Group considered the acquirer of OpenTable. In the statements and related notes, the purchase consideration paid in the merger has been preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of OpenTable based upon their estimated fair values as of June 30, 2014. The statements contained herein do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any revenue, tax, or other synergies that may result from the merger.

The statements and related notes are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated balance sheet of the combined company would have been had the merger occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined company's future consolidated results of operations or consolidated balance sheet. The statements are based upon currently available information and estimates and assumptions that The Priceline Group's management and OpenTable's management believe are reasonable as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different, and the estimates and assumptions may not be representative of facts existing upon finalization of the merger.

1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The statements and related notes present the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the combined company formed pursuant to the merger based on the historical financial statements of The Priceline Group Inc. ("The Priceline Group") (formerly known as priceline.com Inc.) and OpenTable, Inc. ("OpenTable") (after giving effect to the merger and adjustments described in these notes, subject to the assumptions and limitations described herein), and are intended to reflect the impact of the merger on The Priceline Group.

The historical financial information of The Priceline Group as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was derived from the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of The Priceline Group from its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The historical financial information of The Priceline Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements from The Priceline Group's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. OpenTable's audited historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are included in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. These statements should be read in conjunction with such historical financial statements.

The merger will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations), which we refer to as ASC 805. Under ASC 805, most of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.

The pro forma statements of operations reflect the merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2013, and the pro forma balance sheet reflects the merger as if it had been completed on June 30, 2014. The statements and these notes include pro forma adjustments based on preliminary valuations of assets and liabilities of OpenTable. These adjustments are preliminary and may be revised as additional valuation work is performed. The final purchase price allocations will be based on estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the closing of the merger. For the purpose of measuring the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in determining the final purchase price allocations, The Priceline Group will apply the accounting guidance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market at the measurement date. The fair value measurements will utilize estimates based on key assumptions in connection with the merger, including historical and current market data.

The pro forma information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company.

2. Estimated Acquisition Consideration for OpenTable
At the effective time of the merger on July 24, 2014, each issued and outstanding share of OpenTable common stock, other than shares owned by stockholders that perfected and did not withdraw a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, were converted into a right to receive an amount of cash equal to $103.00 per share, except for shares then owned by The Priceline Group or Rhombus and shares held in treasury of OpenTable or by any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, which shares were canceled and retired and ceased to exist.

The aggregate weighted average per share price ("VWAP") of The Priceline Group common stock from July 17, 2014 through July 23, 2014 (the five trading day period ending one day prior to the effective date of the merger) was $1,217.82, resulting in an conversion ratio of 0.084577 ($103.00 divided by $1,217.82). The conversation ratio was used to calculate the amount of share awards assumed and the exercise price of options assumed in the merger, pursuant to section 4.05 of the agreement and plan of merger filed June 13, 2014.
    
Based on OpenTable's shares of common stock and equity awards outstanding as of July 24, 2014, the acquisition consideration is approximately as follows (in thousands):

3. Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation
The preliminary purchase price allocation for OpenTable is based on estimates, assumptions, valuations and other studies which have not yet been finalized in order to make a definitive allocation. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments to allocate the acquisition consideration will remain preliminary until The Priceline Group's management determines the fair values of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ materially from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.
The total preliminary estimated acquisition consideration as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of OpenTable based on their estimated fair values. As of June 30, 2014, the estimated purchase price allocation was as follows (in thousands):

Identifiable intangible assets. Preliminary fair values for the intangible assets were determined based on the relief from royalty method, income approach method, and cost method. The intangible assets identified were trade names and domain names, customer relationships and technology and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:
Trade names and domain names
 
20 years
Customer relationships
 
15 years
Technology
 
5 years
Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated acquisition consideration over the preliminary fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets was the acquired workforce of experienced personnel, synergies in products, technologies, skill sets, operations, customer base, and organizational cultures that can be leveraged to enable us to build a successful combined enterprise. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a possible impairment. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the combined company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment during the period in which the determination is made.
