Equity Investments | 14. EQUITY INVESTMENTS Equity method investments At June 30, 2011, the Company owned 48.7% of its Hain Pure Protein joint venture. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (see Note 2). The carrying value of our investment of $23,107 and advances to HPP of $17,083 are included on the consolidated balance sheet in "Investment in and advances to equity-method investees." The Company previously provided advances to HPP when it was a consolidated subsidiary to finance its operations. Simultaneously with the dilution of the Company's interest in HPP and its deconsolidation, HPP entered into a separate credit agreement. The Company and HPP entered into a subordination agreement covering the outstanding advances at the date of deconsolidation. The subordination agreement allows for prepayments of the advances based on HPP's meeting certain conditions under its credit facility. HPP repaid $3,000 of the advances in the year ended June 30, 2011. The balance of the advances are due no later than December 31, 2012. In October 2009, the Company formed a joint venture, Hutchison Hain Organic Holdings Limited ("HHO"), with Hutchison China Meditech Ltd. ("Chi-Med"), a majority owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Limited, to market and distribute co-branded infant and toddler feeding products and market and distribute selected Hain Celestial brands in Hong Kong, China and other markets. The Company's investment in its 50% share of the joint venture totaled approximately $177. In addition, the Company and Chi-Med each advanced $3,800 to the joint venture for working capital needs during the year ended June 30, 2011. Voting control of the joint venture is shared equally between the Company and Chi-Med, although, in the event of a deadlock, Chi-Med has the ability to cast the deciding vote. The investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the joint venture's results of operations were not significant. Available-For-Sale Securities The Company has a less than 1% equity ownership interest in Yeo Hiap Seng Limited ("YHS"), a Singapore based natural food and beverage company listed on the Singapore Exchange, which is accounted for as an available-for-sale security. The fair value of this security was $6,390 at June 30, 2011 and $6,232 at June 30, 2010. The fair value of this investment is included in "Other assets" in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company determined that an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of YHS occurred based upon various factors including the near-term prospects of YHS, the length of time the investment was in an unrealized loss position, and publicly available information about the industry and geographic region in which YHS operates and, accordingly recorded a loss of $1,210 on the write-down of this investment, which is included in "Interest and other expenses, net". At June 30, 2011, the fair value of the security decreased by an additional $306. The Company concluded that the additional decline in the investment is temporary and, accordingly, has recorded the unrealized loss, net of tax, in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the stockholders' equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
