The Company’s level 2 financial instruments included in the tables above as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consist of a guaranteed investment contract, the Company’s rabbi trust established for GEO employee and employer contributions to The GEO Group, Inc. Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, an interest rate swap held by our Australian subsidiary, other interest rate swap assets of the Company and an investment in Canadian dollar denominated fixed income securities. In October 2013, the non-Australian interest rate swap assets were terminated (Refer to Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments). The Company's restricted investment in the Rabbi Trust is invested in Company owned life insurance policies which are recorded at their cash surrender values. These investments are valued based on the underlying investments held in the policies' separate account. The underlying assets are equity and fixed income pooled funds that are comprised of level 1 and level 2 securities. The Australian subsidiary’s interest rate swap is valued using a discounted cash flow model based on projected Australian borrowing rates. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s other interest rate swap assets were based on pricing models which considered 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 instruments.
