INVESTMENTS

On November 21, 2013, the Company made a $5 million commitment to invest in Jerusalem Venture Partners (“JVP Fund”). As of December 31, 2015, $3.3 million remains outstanding on this commitment. If and when the Company funds the entire amount of the investment, the investment will be less than a 10% limited partnership interest in which the Company will not be able to exercise control over the fund. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for this investment under the cost method of accounting.

On June 8, 2015, the Company received a cash distribution of $826,000 as a portion of a gross entitlement of approximately $1,271,000 from its investment in the JVP Fund. This distribution represents a portion of the gross proceeds allocated to the Company’s investment, with the remaining amount to be retained by the JVP Fund to fund future investment activities. The retained proceeds did not reduce the Company's future capital commitment to the venture capital fund.

There were no identified events or changes in circumstances that are believed to have had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
