Non-trade receivables primarily consist of income tax receivables and value added tax receivables. Other, at December 31, 2007, primarily consisted of pass-through receivables, which are amounts that the Company collects from its customers that are due to third-party vendors as part of a revenue sharing agreement. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s pass-through receivables’ balance was $65.2 million and $71.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, $63.5 million in pass-through receivables are included in Assets held for sale. As of December 31, 2008, Receivables from buyers primarily consists of receivables related to the sale consideration and working capital adjustments of the divested EMM business, and amounts held in escrow for certain other divested businesses.

 

In the latter half of 2008, there was a major disruption in the global credit markets due to the rising concerns about possible financial institution defaults, the bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman”) and the potential for a deep economic recession. Following these disruptions, certain money market funds managed by The Reserve made various announcements that their underlying portfolios had experienced a loss of principal, the redemption rights of all holders were suspended indefinitely and the funds would be liquidated. At the time of the redemption suspension, the Company had $256.7 million invested in The Reserve’s Primary Fund (the “Primary Fund”) and The Reserve International Liquidity Fund, Ltd. (the “International Fund”). Due to the lack of an active market for most corporate and bank debt securities, the Company assessed the fair value of the underlying securities within the Primary Fund and the International Fund based on a review of current investment ratings of the underlying securities within the money-market funds coupled with an evaluation of the expected maturity value and the current performance of the securities within the funds in meeting scheduled payments of principal and interest. The Company based its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of its investments in the Primary Fund and the International Fund. In 2008, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $8.2 million in Other income, net, related to the underlying securities of Lehman held in the Primary Fund and the International Fund and the related liquidity risk in the investment. The credit and capital markets deteriorated significantly in the latter half of 2008, and may continue to deteriorate into 2009. If these markets deteriorate further, or if the Company is allocated a portion of the legal and/or administrative costs incurred by the Primary Fund and/or the International Fund during their liquidation process, the Company may incur additional impairments, which could negatively affect its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
