As of September 30, 2014, Actua’s aggregate carrying value in its equity method businesses exceeded Actua’s share of the net assets of those businesses by $0.9 million. Of this excess, $0.4 million is allocated to goodwill, which is not amortized, and $0.5 million is allocated to intangibles, which are generally being amortized over five years. As of December 31, 2013, this excess was $1.3 million, $0.6 million of which was allocated to goodwill, and $0.7 million of which was allocated to intangibles. Amortization expense associated with those intangibles for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Amortization expense associated with those intangibles for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was less than $0.1 million. That amortization expense is included in the table below in the line item “Amortization of intangible assets” and is included in the line item “Equity loss” in Actua’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cost Method Businesses

Actua’s carrying value of its holdings in cost method businesses was $19.6 million as of both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Those amounts are reflected in the line item “Equity and cost method businesses” in Actua’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the relevant dates.

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.

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013.
