Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value because their maturity is less than three months.  Management believes the carrying amount of the equity and cost-method investments materially approximated fair value at March 31, 2012 based upon unobservable inputs. The fair values of these investments have been determined as level 3 fair value measurements. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the amounts.  The fair value of the Company's junior subordinated convertible debentures was $1.585 billion at March 31, 2012 and $1.574 billion at March 31, 2011 based on observable market prices for these debentures, which are traded in less active markets and are therefore classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.
