Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recognized as income on the date the stock trades “ex-dividend.” The cost of marketable securities sold is determined by the specific identification method. Realized gains or losses are reflected in income and were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The unrealized gains and losses for trading investments were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
