Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

The
following table presents the fair value and unrealized losses,
aggregated by investment type and length of time that individual
securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position (in
thousands):
The
Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to identify and
evaluate investments that have indications of possible
impairment. The Company does not believe that its
investments in marketable securities with unrealized losses at July
31, 2011 are other-than-temporary due to market volatility of the
security’s fair value, analysts’ expectations and the
Company’s ability to hold the securities for a period of time
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recoveries in market
value.
During
the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company redeemed
available-for-sale securities in the amount of $4.5 million and
$1.5 million, respectively, and realized a gain of $6,800 in the
fiscal year 2012 period and a loss of $27,800 for the same period
in fiscal year 2011. These amounts are included in the
determination of net income for each period.
Maturities
of fixed income securities classified as available-for-sale at July
31, 2011 are as follows, at cost (in thousands):
The
fair value accounting framework provides a fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three
levels of the fair value hierarchy are described
below:
The
asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level
within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any
input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs. All of the Company’s investments in
marketable securities are valued on a Level 1 basis.

As
of the end of fiscal year 2011, the Company reduced the valuation
allowance on the deferred tax assets of its U.S.
subsidiaries. Consequently, for the quarter ended July
31, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes based
on both current taxes due in the United States as well as the tax
provision or benefit to be realized from temporary tax
differences. In the same quarter of fiscal year 2011,
the provision for income taxes consisted solely of taxes currently
due to taxing authorities in the United States because of the full
valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in effect at that
time. As of July 31, 2011 and April 30, 2011, the

In
June 2011, the FASB issued standards which require entities to
present net income and other comprehensive income in either a
single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive,
statements of net income and other comprehensive
income. The option to present items of other
comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity is
eliminated. The new standard is effective as of the
beginning of a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2011 with
earlier adoption permitted. This standard, upon
adoption by the Company at the beginning of its fiscal year
2013, will have no impact on the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows but will require
the Company to present comprehensive income in a different manner
than it did in previous interim and annual financial
