Additionally, available-for-sale securities are included in inventory and other current assets.  On April 17, 2012, SandRidge Energy Inc. (NYSE: SD) (SandRidge) completed its acquisition of Dynamic Offshore, at which time the Company received approximately $34.1 million in cash and approximately $51.6 million in shares of SandRidge stock (approximately 7.0 million shares valued at $7.33 per share) in consideration for its 10% interest in Dynamic Offshore (see note 7).   In accordance with authoritative guidance related to equity securities, the Company is accounting for the shares received through this transaction as available-for-sale securities.  The changes in fair values, net of applicable taxes, on available-for-sale securities are recorded as unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders' equity.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold approximately 5.6 million shares of SandRidge stock for approximately $41.9 million, resulting in a realized gain of approximately $0.9 million.   

The fair value of the remaining 1.4 million shares as of December 31, 2012 was approximately $9.2 million.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on these securities of approximately $1.4 million, of which approximately $0.9 million was reported within accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax benefit of approximately $0.5 million.  The Company evaluates whether unrealized losses on investments in securities are other-than-temporary, and if it is believed the unrealized losses are other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded. There were no other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized during the year ended December 31, 2012.
