As of January 1, 2012 the Repo Agreement consisted of guaranteed investments of $23.9 million and $9.9 million for the debt service reserve fund and the bond fund payment account, respectively. The Repo Agreement is considered a Level 2 restricted investment since its fair value is estimated by using market interest rates for similar securities. The Australian subsidiary’s interest rate swap asset is valued using a discounted cash flow model based on projected Australian borrowing rates. The Company’s other interest rate swap assets and liabilities are based on pricing models which consider prevailing interest rates, credit risk and similar instruments. The Canadian dollar denominated securities, not actively traded, are valued using quoted rates for these and similar securities. The restricted investment in the guaranteed investment contract is valued using quoted rates for these and similar securities.
