AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES - INVESTMENT IN HLSS

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we purchased 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock for $30.0 million in the open market (1,613,125 shares at an average price per share of $18.58). This investment is classified as available for sale and reflected at fair value at the balance sheet date ($26.7 million as of March 31, 2015) (no comparative amount in 2014). Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are reflected in other comprehensive income, unless there is an impairment that is other than temporary. In the event that a decline in market value is other than temporary, we record a charge to earnings and a new cost basis in the investment is established. Based on HLSS’ sale of substantially all of its assets and plan of complete liquidation and dissolution (see Note 2), we determined that our investment in HLSS is other than temporarily impaired. Accordingly, we recognized an other than temporary impairment loss on HLSS equity securities of $3.3 million in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015. This amount reflects the difference between the cost and fair value of the HLSS equity securities as of March 31, 2015 (based on 1,613,125 shares at $16.54 per share).
