Available-for-sale Securities [Abstract] |
Securities Available For Sale | Securities Available For Sale As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s securities available for sale consisted of auction rate securities, which represent interests in pools of student loans guaranteed by the U.S. government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. During the second quarter of 2013, the issuer of one of the Company's student loan auction rate securities redeemed its security at the security's par value of $2.6 million. Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company sold its structured finance security, which had a par value of $5.0 million and a cost basis of $1.7 million. This structured finance security, which was fully collateralized by investment grade credit-linked notes is composed of floating rate international bank notes, had an attached credit default swap under which the principal value of the security would be partially or fully forfeited at net default rates on the underlying corporate debt obligations ranging from 8% to 9%. As of December 31, 2012, the net default rate was estimated to be 6.22%. Details of the second quarter 2013 redemption and sale transactions, as well as the corresponding securities, are as follows (in millions):

The gross unrealized gain of $1.1 million, net, was comprised of $0.7 million of unrealized gains in other comprehensive income and a deferred tax liability of $0.4 million. Management believes the temporary unrealized decline in estimated fair value associated with its remaining student loan auction rate securities is primarily attributable to the limited liquidity of these investments and overall market volatility. The Company expects to recover the remaining cost basis of its student loan auction rate securities, and does not intend to sell, or believe that it will more likely than not be required to sell its student loan auction rate securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity. The fair values of the Company's auction rate securities were estimated by an independent valuation firm, Houlihan Capital Advisors, LLC, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The valuation of these securities is sensitive to market conditions and management’s judgment and can change significantly based on the assumptions used.
