Other long-term assets		6,023		5,947
Total other long-term assets	$	174,903	$	235,032

(1) The Company has determined that MobiKwik does not have readily determinable fair value and has therefore elected to record this investment at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company accounted for its investment in MobiKwik at cost as of June 30, 2018.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid $1.1 million to subscribe for additional shares in MobiKwik. As of March 31, 2019, the Company owned approximately 13% of MobiKwik's issued share capital.

Summarized below are the components of the Company's equity securities without readily determinable fair value and held to maturity investments as of March 31, 2019:

Summarized below are the components of the Company's held to maturity investments as of June 30, 2018:


				Unrealized		Unrealized

Held to maturity:
Investment in Cedar Cellular notes	$	10,395	$	-	$	-	$	10,395
Total	$	10,395	$	-	$	-	$	10,395

(1) An amount of $1.4 million attributed to interest recognized under the Cedar Cellular note was incorrectly included in the unrealized holding gains column as of June 30, 2018, and has been reclassified to the cost basis column.

The Company recognized interest income of $0.6 million, related to the Cedar Cellular notes during each of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recognized interest income of $2.0 million and $0.8 million, related to the Cedar Cellular notes during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest on this investment will only be paid, at Cedar Cellular's election, on maturity in August 2022. The Company's effective interest rate on the Cedar Cellular note is 24.82% as of March 31, 2019.

The Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the Cedar Cellular notes due to a reduction in the amount of future cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security. The Company does not expect to generate any cash flows from the debt security prior to the maturity date in August 2022, and expects to recover approximately $16.0 million at maturity. The Company has calculated the present value of the expected cash flows to be collected from the debt security by discounting these cash flows at the interest rate implicit in the security upon acquisition (at a rate of 24.82%). The present value of the expected cash flows of $7.0 million is less than the amortized cost basis recorded of $9.6 million (before the March 2019 impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2019) and $12.4 million (before the cumulative 2019 impairments for the nine months ended March 31, 2019). Accordingly, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss of $2.6 million and $5.4 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. The impairment of $2.6 million and $5.4 million is included in interest income, net of impairment in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.
