Gross unrealized losses primarily related to losses on corporate securities. The Company has evaluated such securities, which primarily consist of investments in publicly-traded entities, as of September 30, 2013, and has determined that there was no indication of other-than-temporary impairments. This determination was based on several factors, including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the entity, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the corporate securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Equity-Method Investments

In January 2013, the Company acquired a 40% membership interest in Again Faster LLC, a fitness equipment company, for total cash consideration of $4.0 million. The Company accounts for its investment in Again Faster under the equity method as the Company owns more than 20%, providing the Company with significant influence, but does not have a controlling financial interest or other control over the operations of Again Faster.

On August 23, 2013, the Company acquired 1,316,866 shares of the common stock of iGo, Inc. (“iGo”), in a cash tender offer for total consideration of $5.2 million. The shares of common stock of iGo acquired by the Company represent approximately 44.0% of the outstanding shares of iGo on a fully-diluted basis and approximately 44.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of iGo. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement between the Company and iGo entered into on July 11, 2013, two members of iGo’s four-member board of directors were replaced by two designees of the Company. The Company accounts for its investment in iGo under the equity method as the Company’s 44.7% voting interest and board representation provide it with significant influence, but do not provide the Company with control over iGo’s operations. The value of the Company’s investment in iGo was approximately $4.0 million at September 30, 2013, based on the closing market price of iGo’s publicly-traded shares. The Company believes that this decline in value is temporary and therefore has not adjusted the carrying value of the investment.

Other Investments

In July 2013, the Company invested $25.0 million in a limited partnership that co-invested with other private investment funds in a public company. The Company accounts for this investment under the cost method as the limited partnership has no operations and the Company does not have significant influence over the operations of the public company investee. Such investment had an approximate fair value of $24.9 million at September 30, 2013, based on the net asset value included in the monthly statement it receives from the partnership.
