Through the first two quarters of fiscal 2019, the fair value of our investment in Cash Converters International, as estimated by reference to its quoted market price per share and the applicable foreign currency exchange rate, declined from its value at September 30, 2018 and ended each quarter below its carrying value. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we determined that our investment was impaired and that such impairment was other-than-temporary. In reaching this conclusion, we considered all available evidence, including evidence in existence as of September 30, 2018 as discussed in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018. Additionally, we noted the following developments subsequent to September 30, 2018: (i) continued decline in Cash Converters International's share price; and (ii) ongoing uncertainty around remaining Queensland, Australia class action lawsuit. As a result, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment in Cash Converters International of $13.3 million ($10.3 million, net of taxes) and $6.5 million ($5.0 million, net of taxes) during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2019, respectively. The above impairments increased the difference between the amount at which our investment was carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets of Cash Converters International and was recorded in “Impairment of investment in unconsolidated affiliate” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the “Other International” segment. We will continue to monitor the fair value of our investment in Cash Converters International for other-than-temporary impairments in future reporting periods and may record additional impairment charges should the fair value of our investment in Cash Converters International further decline below its carrying value for an extended period of time. See Note 5 for the fair value and carrying value of our investment in Cash Converters International.
