The amortized cost of our held-to-maturity investments approximates their fair value.  As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, we did not have other-than-temporary impairment in the fair value of any individual security classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale.  As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, we had unrealized gains on available-for-sale investments, net of related income taxes of $46,000 and $25,000, respectively.  Redemptions of investments in accordance with callable provisions during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $0 and $250,000, respectively, and during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $717,000 and $13.3 million, respectively.
