(5) Investments:
-----------
Investments include high-grade, short- and intermediate-term
fixed-income securities (primarily state and municipal debt
obligations) and equity securities. Fixed-income securities are
stated at cost. Marketable equity securities are stated at the lower
of cost or market. The company's investment in Centennial Cellular
Corp. (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements)
includes 102,187 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares and
1,367,099 Class B Common Shares. The liquidation value preference
earned on the Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for 1993, 1992
and 1991 was $9,594,000, $8,803,000 and $2,563,000, respectively, and
was recorded as investment income. The book value of the investment
in Centennial at December 31, 1993, as presented in the table below,
represents the initial book value of the investment of $69,668,000
($19,826,000 of which relates to the Class B common shares) plus
$20,960,000 of liquidation value preference earned on the Preferred
Security by the company to date. The Preferred Security is
mandatorily redeemable in the year 2007. The company believes it can
realize its investment in Centennial either by cash redemption by the
issuer funded through refinancing by the issuer, by temporary
conversion to common equity securities followed by the sale of the
common equity securities, or by sale of its current investment
holdings.
The aggregate market value of marketable equity securities at
December 31, 1993, was $27,492,000. Total unrealized gains on
marketable equity securities at December 31, 1993 were $14,210,000.
Net realized gains on marketable equity securities included in the
determination of net income for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively, were $0, $259,000 and $670,000. The cost of securities
sold was based on the actual cost of the shares of each security held
at the time of sale. Marketable equity securities at December 31,
1993, includes 1,758,428 shares (adjusted for stock dividends) of
Class A Common Stock of Century Communications Corp. These shares
represent less than 2% of the total outstanding common stock of
Century Communications Corp. The chairman and chief executive
officer of the company is also chairman and chief executive officer
of Century Communications Corp.
The components of investments at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991
are as follows:
