As of January 31, 2013 and 2012, there were a total of 342 and 76 issued securities with unrealized loss positions within the Company’s portfolio, respectively. The total unrealized loss position due to the impairment of ARS held by the Company that have experienced auction failures as of January 31, 2013 and 2012 was $595 and $2,778, respectively. The Company deemed all of these securities as temporarily impaired. The unrealized loss positions were primarily due to auction failures of the ARS held and fluctuations in the market interest rates for remaining securities. The Company believes it has the ability to realize the full value of all of these investments upon maturity or redemption.

As of January 31, 2013, the par value of our ARS was $4,925 and the estimated fair value was $4,330. Our ARS portfolio consists of “A” or better rated ARS that represent interests in municipal debt obligations. To date, we have collected all interest payable on outstanding ARS when due and have not been informed by the issuers that accrued interest payments are currently at risk. The Company does not have the intent to sell the underlying securities prior to their recovery and the Company believes it is not likely that it will be required to sell the underlying securities prior to their anticipated recovery of full amortized cost.
