INVESTMENTS

Equity Method Investments/Joint Ventures

As of September 29, 2013, our investments in joint ventures consisted of equity ownership interests in the following entities:



Company	Approximate % Ownership
Donohue Malbaie Inc.	49	%
Madison Paper Industries	40	%

In the first quarter of 2013, we recorded a nominal charge for the impairment of our investment in quadrantONE LLC as a result of its February 2013 announcement of the wind down of its operations.

Cost Method Investments

Gain on Sale of Investment

In the first quarter of 2012, we sold 100 of our units in Fenway Sports Group for an aggregate price of $30.0 million (pre-tax gain of $17.8 million) and in the second quarter of 2012, we completed the sale of our remaining 210 units for an aggregate price of $63.0 million (pre-tax gain of $37.8 million). These sales resulted in a pre-tax gain of $55.6 million in the first six months of 2012. Effective with the first quarter 2012 sale, given our reduced ownership level and lack of influence on the operations of Fenway Sports Group, we changed the accounting for this investment from the equity method to the cost method. Therefore, starting in the first quarter of 2012, we no longer recognized our proportionate share of the operating results of Fenway Sports Group in joint venture results in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Impairment of Investments

In the first nine months of 2012, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $5.5 million to reduce the carrying value of certain investments to fair value. The impairment charge was primarily related to our investment in Ongo Inc., a consumer service for reading and sharing digital news and information from multiple publishers.
