Note 4 — Non-Marketable Investments

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable investments, which were composed primarily of interests in technology-related private equity funds, was $4.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

One of the Company’s investments, with a book value of $0.9 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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. The Company recorded a gain (loss) from its non-marketable investments of $42,000 and $(0.2) million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in gains (losses) on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, gross distributions of $1.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were received from the funds.
