CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

20.     CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

During first quarter of 2011, the Company increased its ownership interest in MediaMath to 22.4%, above the 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 and funds by $0.5 million as of December 31, 2010 and to increase Equity loss by $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Equity loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 and Equity as of December 31, 2009 were unaffected by this change.
