NOTE 6: INVESTMENTS

The Company’s investments, primarily in Brazil, consist of certificates of deposit and U.S. dollar indexed bond funds, which are classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices and net asset values, respectively. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in OCI. Realized gains and losses are recognized in investment income and are determined using the specific identification method. Realized (losses) gains, net from the sale of securities were $(1,304) and $33 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Realized (losses) gains, net from the sale of securities were $(1,468) and $33 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $26,761 and $9,718 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company has deferred compensation plans that enable certain employees to defer receipt of a portion of their cash or share-based compensation and non-employee directors to defer receipt of director fees at the participants’ discretion. For deferred cash-based compensation, the Company established a rabbi trust that is recorded at the fair value of the underlying securities within securities and other investments. The related deferred compensation liability is recorded at fair value within other long-term liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities in the rabbi trust are recognized in investment income.
