Note 4 — Non-Marketable Investments

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable investments, which were composed primarily of interests in technology-related private equity funds, was $2.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

One of the Company’s investments, with a book value of $0.4 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, is being accounted for using the cost method and, accordingly, is valued at cost unless an other-than-temporary impairment in its value occurs. The other investments are being accounted for using the equity method as the investments are limited partnerships and the Company has an ownership interest in excess of 5% and, accordingly, the Company records its share of the investee’s operating results each period. Losses from non-marketable investments were $1.1 million and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and gains were insignificant during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and are included in gains (losses) on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. No distributions were received from the funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, distributions of $0.1 million were received from the funds.
