Discontinued Operations
On October 18, 2016, the GovDelivery Sale was consummated for $153.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, cash, debt and other items. Actua received approximately $123.0 million in 2016 and subsequent to 2017 received additional proceeds of approximately $6.7 million in connection with the release of escrowed funds. Actua will record a gain in 2018 for approximately $7.2 million associated with this amount and inclusive of a liability of $0.5 million associated with shareholders representative proceeds previously received in 2016.
On September 23, 2017, Actua entered into the Velocity/Bolt Sale Agreement under which CVC acquired Actua's interests in VelocityEHS and Bolt. The Velocity/Bolt Sale was consummated on December 12, 2017 and Actua received $329.0 million in cash.
On September 25, 2017, FolioDynamix entered into the Folio Sale Agreement under which Envestnet acquired FolioDynamix. This deal was consummated on January 2, 2018 and Actua received $166.3 million in cash, with the potential to receive up to an additional $11.6 million as the Client Consent Adjustment Amount. Based on this and other relevant factors, the criteria for held-for-sale classification and discontinued operations presentation were met.
For presentational purposes, all prior periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to reflect GovDelivery, VelocityEHS, Bolt and FolioDynamix as discontinued operations.
Due to the sales of GovDelivery, Bolt, VelocityEHS and FolioDynamix, all of which were previously presented in the Vertical Cloud reporting segment, Actua will no longer present separate segments.

The results of Actua's discontinued operations, which are presented on the line item "Income (loss) from discontinued operations, including gain on sale, net of tax" in Actua’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), is summarized below:

Amounts included in this column include balances related to FolioDynamix.

Amounts included in this column include balances related to VelocityEHS, Bolt and FolioDynamix. VelocityEHS and Bolt are presented as current assets or liabilities of discontinued operations. FolioDynamix is presented as non-current assets or liabilities of discontinued operations.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, Actua accounted for a contingent earn-out payment that was a component of the purchase price in FolioDynamix’s 2016 acquisition of assets of SAS Capital Management, LLC ("SAS") (such earnout payment, the "SAS Earnout"). Under the terms of the underlying asset purchase agreement, upon a change of control of FolioDynamix, the amount of the SAS Earnout would become fixed and payable. The fair value of the SAS Earnout as of December 31, 2017 was adjusted to $5.4 million which equals the value of the payout made to SAS's former shareholders upon the closing of the sale of FolioDynamix on January 2, 2018. The SAS Earnout liability is reflected in the "Liabilities of discontinued operations" line item on Actua's Consolidated Balance Sheets; changes in the fair value of the SAS Earnout were reflected in the "Income (loss) from discontinued operations, including gain on sale, net of tax" line item on Actua's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Impairment
Actua completed its annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2017 and 2016, which resulted in no impairments related to Actua’s consolidated businesses because the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value for each of those reporting units, including goodwill and intangible assets. In the fourth quarter of 2015, Actua recorded an impairment charge of $39.7 million related to FolioDynamix.
