12. | INVESTMENTS AND JOINT VENTURES
Equity method investments At December 31, 2011, the Company owned 48.7% of Hain Pure Protein (see Note 1). This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of our investment of $24,737 and advances to HPP of $9,735 are included on the consolidated balance sheet in "Investments and joint ventures." 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 in June 2009 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. The balance of the advances are due no later than December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011, the Company also owned 50.0% of a joint venture, Hutchison Hain Organic Holdings Limited ("HHO"), with Hutchison China Meditech Ltd. ("Chi-Med"), a majority owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Limited. HHO markets and distributes co-branded infant and toddler feeding products and markets and distributes selected of the Company's brands in Hong Kong, China and other markets. Voting control of the joint venture is shared 50/50 between the Company and Chi-Med, although, in the event of a deadlock, Chi-Med has the ability to cast the deciding vote. The carrying value of our investment and advances to HHO of $3,165 are included on the consolidated balance sheet in "Investments and joint ventures." The investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For the three and six months ended December 31, 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 $4,789 at December 31, 2011 and $6,390 at June 30, 2011 and is included in "Investments and joint ventures," with the related unrealized loss, net of tax, included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company concluded that the decline in its YHS investment is temporary and, accordingly, has not recognized a loss in its consolidated statements of operations. In making this determination, the Company considered its intent and ability to hold the investment until the cost is recovered, the financial condition of YHS, the magnitude of the loss compared to the investment's cost, and publicly available information about the industry and geographic region in which YHS operates.
