(1) During the three months ending June 30, 2020, White Mountains made an additional $15 investment in PassportCard/DavidShield. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions”.

As a result of the MediaAlpha Transaction, White Mountains reduced its ownership interest of the basic units outstanding of MediaAlpha from 61.0% to 48.3% (58.9% to 42.0% on a fully diluted, fully converted basis). White Mountains’s remaining ownership interest in MediaAlpha no longer meets the criteria for a controlling ownership interest and, accordingly, White Mountains deconsolidated MediaAlpha as of February 26, 2019. Upon deconsolidation, White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha met the criteria to be accounted for under the equity method or under the fair value option. White Mountains elected the fair value option and the investment in MediaAlpha was initially measured at its estimated fair value of $114.7 million as of March 31, 2019, with the change in fair value of $114.7 million recognized as an unrealized investment gain. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, White Mountains recognized $180.0 million in unrealized investment gains associated with its investment in MediaAlpha including changes in the fair value of White Mountains’s investment in MediaAlpha subsequent to the MediaAlpha Transaction. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, White Mountains recognized $15.0 million and $45.0 million in unrealized investment gains associated with its investment in MediaAlpha.
White Mountains’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income and its segment disclosures include MediaAlpha’s results of operations for the period from January 1, 2019 through February 26, 2019. See Note 2 — “Significant Transactions”. For the period from February 26, 2019 to June 30, 2019, MediaAlpha was considered a significant subsidiary. For the period from February 26, 2019 to June 30, 2019, MediaAlpha’s total revenues, total expenses, and net income were $122.7 million, $115.8 million, and $6.9 million.
The following tables present summarized financial information for White Mountains’s combined equity-method eligible investees, including MediaAlpha, Tuckerman IV Fund, L.P., and certain Kudu Participation Contracts, which are considered significant subsidiaries for the six months ending June 30, 2020:
