NOTE
7.
INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Wainwright, from time to time, provides initial investments in the creation of ETP funds that Wainwright manages. Wainwright classifies these investments as current assets as these investments are generally sold within
one
year from the balance sheet date. Investments in which
no
controlling financial interest exists, but significant influence exists are recorded as per the equity method of investment accounting. As of
December 31, 2018,
and
June 30, 2018,
there were
no
investments requiring the equity method investment accounting.
 
With respect to ASU
2016
-
01,
we reclassified net after-tax unrealized gains on equity securities as of
June 30, 2018
from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. We continue to carry our investments in equity securities at fair value and there is
no
change to the asset values or total shareholders’ equity that we would have otherwise recorded. Beginning
July 1, 2018
we are including unrealized gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair values of our equity securities as a component of investment gains and losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. ASU
2016
-
01
prohibited the restatement of prior year financial statements and for periods ending prior to
2018,
unrealized gains and losses from the changes in fair value of available-for-sale equity securities were recorded in other comprehensive income.
 
Investments measured at estimated fair value consist of the following as of
