12. Non-Controlling Interests We own 51.4% of our eco-travel subsidiary, Natural Habitat Adventures (“Natural Habitat”). The balance is owned by its founder. In addition, some of Natural Habitat’s subsidiaries also have minority shareholders. We own 50.01% of our Australian subsidiary, Gaiam Pty. The amount of these non-controlling interests is reflected separately in our consolidated financial statements, and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated. During 2015 and 2014, Natural Habitat paid its shareholders dividends of $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and, as a result, the noncontrolling interests decreased by $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively. No dividends were declared or paid by Natural Habitat during 2013. |
