Schedule of summary of recorded value and fair value of strategic investments | The table below summarizes the recorded value and fair value of each of these strategic investments at the dates indicated. The fair values of Albemarle & Bond as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and Cash Converters International as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 as well as September 30, 2013 are considered Level 1 estimates within the fair value hierarchy of FASB ASC 820-10-50, and were calculated as (a) the quoted stock price on each company’s principal market multiplied by (b) the number of shares we owned multiplied by (c) the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at the dates indicated. We included no control premium by owning a large percentage of outstanding shares. The fair value for Albemarle & Bond at September 30, 2013 is considered a Level 2 estimate within the fair value hierarchy of FASB ASC 820-10-50. We calculated the fair value based on (a) the quoted average stock price of Albemarle & Bond over the 18 days after September 30, 2013 multiplied by (b) the number of shares we owned multiplied by (c) the applicable foreign currency exchange rate as of the dates indicated during the post September 30, 2013 measurement date. We believe this 18 day measurement date allowed the market to react and adjust to the information released by the company the first week of October 2013, as previously mentioned, and therefore resulted in a reasonable fair value as of September 30, 2013.
