Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

13. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

During first quarter of 2011, the Company increased its ownership interest in MediaMath to 22.4%, a threshold at which the Company believes it exercises significant influence. Accordingly, the Company adopted the equity method of accounting for its holdings in MediaMath. The Company has adjusted the financial statements for prior periods contained in this Form 10-Q to retrospectively apply the equity method of accounting for its holdings in MediaMath since the initial date of acquisition in July 2009. The effect of the change was to decrease Ownership interests in and advances to partner companies by $0.5 million as of December 31, 2010 and to increase Equity loss by $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
