(n) Equity Method Investments

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in which the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over an investee’s operating and financial policies or in which the Company holds a significant partnership or limited liability company interest. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The cost is adjusted to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss after the date of investment and is also adjusted for any impairments resulting from other-than-temporary declines in fair value. These adjustments are recorded in interest income and other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Additional adjustments to cost may include any additional contributions made and dividends received and both are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
