Investments Debt And Equity Securities [Abstract] |
Non-Marketable Investments | Note 3 — Non-Marketable Investments At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable investments, which were composed primarily of interests in technology-related private equity funds, was $6.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively, and is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. One of the Company’s investments, with a book value of $1.0 million and $1.2 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, is being accounted for using the cost method and, accordingly, is valued at cost unless an other-than-temporary impairment in its value occurs. The other investments are being accounted for using the equity method as the investments are limited partnerships and the Company has an ownership interest in excess of 5% and, accordingly, the Company records its share of the investee’s operating results each period. The Company recorded a gain (loss) from its non-marketable investments of $(0.1) million and $0.1 million during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is included in gains (losses) on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In May 2013, the Company extended the expiration date of a cash bonus plan, originally adopted in 2000, that would pay a bonus, after the return of invested capital from certain of the Company’s investments, to certain key employees. To date, no bonuses have been paid under the plan. The plan will now automatically expire on June 30, 2015, subject to earlier expiration as provided in the plan in the event that prior to such date there are less than 10 participants in the plan or all of the Company’s invested capital (as defined in the plan) has been returned to the Company.
