At September 30, 2015, there was $93.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards. which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years.

We are routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign authorities in the area of income tax as a result of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of income and deductions and the allocation of income and deductions among various tax jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing IAC's federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2012, which includes our operations. Venous other jurisdictions are open to examination for various tax years beginning with 2009. Income taxes payable include reserves considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year tax returns. Changes to reserves from period to period and differences between amounts paid, if any, upon the resolution of audits and amounts previously provided may be material. Differences between the reserves for income tax contingencies and the amounts owed by us are recorded in the period they become known. At December 31. 2014 and September 30. 2015, unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, are $12.1 million and $10.5 million, respectively. If unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2015 are subsequently recognized, $10.1 million, net of related deferred tax assets and interest, would reduce income tax provision. We believe that it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $1.4 million within twelve months of September 30. 2015. 74 Table of Contents Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 Revenue hap.% vssviv.sec.govrAmlives.redgar'datail SIS189,0001047469150012431'32226458^-talfinti I 1,92013 911:17 AIM CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED.
