Note 12--Proceeds from Sale of Cost Method Investment
In August 2010, a third party acquired a company in which we held an equity stake and distributed $1.3 million to us in connection with the closing of the acquisition. We had fully written off the investment to other expenses in 2002 due to an other-than-temporary decline in the fair market value at that time. Additional sale proceeds were placed in an escrow account for up to two years, subject to certain contingencies. In August 2012, we received an additional $0.8 million distribution from the escrow account, as a final distribution relating to this sale. We recorded these proceeds from this written off cost method investment as other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
