classified as Level 2 investments. These securities have been initially valued at the
transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of each reporting period, utilizing
market observable data. The market observable data includes reportable trades, benchmark
yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers and other industry and economic
events. The Company validates the prices developed using the market observable data by
obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain
instances and confirming that the relevant markets are active.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value
of its Level 3 investments. The Company’s most significant Level 3 investment at September
30, 2010 consists of its investment in a student loan backed auction rate security, with
an amortized cost of $5.0 million, which was not trading at September 30, 2010. The
assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model include estimates for interest rates,
timing of cash flows, expected holding periods and risk adjusted discount rates, which
include provisions for default and liquidity risk, which the Company believes to be the
most critical assumptions utilized within the analysis. The valuation analysis considers,
among other items, assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of
fair value, such as the collateral underlying the security, the creditworthiness of the
issuer and any associated guarantees, the timing of expected future cash flows, the timing
of, and the likelihood that the security will have a successful auction or when
callability features may be exercised by the issuer. The securities were also compared,
where possible, to other observable market data with similar characteristics to the
securities held by the Company.
