Cost Method Businesses
Actua’s carrying value of its holdings in cost method businesses was $18.1 million and $17.7 million as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Those amounts are reflected in the line item “Equity and cost method businesses” in Actua’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the relevant years.
Actua owns approximately 9% of Anthem Ventures Fund, L.P. (formerly eColony, Inc.) and Anthem Ventures Annex Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Anthem”), which invest in technology companies. Actua acquired its interest in Anthem in 2000 and currently has no carrying value in Anthem. Accordingly, the receipt of distributions from Anthem by Actua would result in a gain at the time Actua receives those distributions.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2015, Actua received a distribution from Anthem that resulted in proceeds of $1.0 million, and recorded a gain in that amount that is reflected in the line item, “Other income (loss), net” in Actua’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Impairments
Actua performs ongoing business reviews of its equity and cost method businesses to determine whether Actua’s carrying value in those businesses is impaired. Actua determined its carrying value in its equity and cost method businesses was not impaired during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
