EARTHLINK, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities include the following as of December 31, 2010 and 2011:
Valuation allowance.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company released $199.0 million of its valuation allowance related
to its deferred tax assets. Of the valuation allowance release, $198.8 million was recorded as an income tax benefit in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations and $0.2 million related to temporary differences and was recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. These deferred tax assets relate primarily to operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs") which the Company
determined it will more-likely-than-not be able to utilize due to the generation of sufficient taxable income in the future.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company released $0.5 million of its valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets.
This valuation allowance release was a combination of an increase in valuation allowance of $0.4 million relating to stock compensation
deferred tax assets, and a decrease in valuation allowance of $0.9 million relating to NOLs, which the Company determined it will more-likely-
than-not be able to utilize due to the generation of sufficient taxable income in certain jurisdictions in the future.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company released $0.4 million of its valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets,
primarily relating to NOLs which the Company determined it will more-likely-than-
not be able to utilize due to the generation of sufficient
taxable income in certain jurisdictions in the future.
