Amortization expense associated with those intangibles for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively; 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” on Actua’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cost Method Businesses

Actua’s carrying value of its holdings in cost method businesses was $17.7 million and $20.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Those amounts are reflected in the line item “Equity and cost method businesses” on 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.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities represent Actua’s holdings of publicly-traded equity securities and are accounted for as available-for-sale securities. During the year ended December 31, 2012, Actua received, and subsequently sold, publicly-traded equity securities that it has accounted for as marketable securities. Actua did not hold any marketable securities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.                

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, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
