Equity Method Investment

The Company reports its investments in unconsolidated entities over whose operating and financial policies the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, under the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and are included in Equity method investment on the consolidated balance sheet. Under this method of accounting, the Company's pro rata share of the investee's earnings or losses is reported in Equity method investment earnings (loss), net of tax, in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss). The Company also reports its investor-level tax impact relating to equity method investments as a component of Equity method investment earnings (loss) in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss). The Company monitors its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary. Equity method investees are considered related parties of the Company.

Distributions received from our equity method investments are recorded as reductions in the carrying value of such investments and are classified on the consolidated statement of cash flows pursuant to the cumulative earnings approach. Under this approach, the distributions should be classified as either a return on investment, which would be included in operating activities, or a return of investment, which would be included in investing activities. Any distributions received up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings of the investee would be considered a return on investment and classified in operating activities. Any distributions in excess of cumulative equity in earnings of the investee would be considered a return of investment and classified in investing activities. Thus, to the extent our equity in earnings of the investee reflects cumulative losses, the distributions are considered a return of investment and classified in investing activities.
