(1)   Included in the line entitled “restricted cash and marketable securities” on our consolidated balance sheet.

(2)         Included in the line entitled “prepaid expenses and other assets” on our consolidated balance sheet.  We own warrants to purchase common shares in The KEYW Holding Corporation (“KEYW”), an equity method investee (see Note 6).

(3)   Included in the line entitled “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet.

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other assets (excluding mortgage loans receivable) and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments.  Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment.  Settlement of such fair value amounts may not be possible and may not be a prudent management decision.

 

For additional fair value information, please refer to Note 6 for mortgage loans receivable, Note 7 for debt and Note 8 for interest rate derivatives.
