____________________________
(1)
This amount relates primarily to currency gain (loss) which is attributable to Actua's consolidated businesses.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Actua received distributions in cash and stock related to its partnership investment in Anthem Venture Partners ("Anthem"), a cost method business that resulted in total proceeds of $2.7 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Actua had no remaining basis in Anthem; therefore, a gain was recognized in those amounts for the respective periods.
