The maturities of the Company’s long-term investments are less than two years. The Company considers declines in market value of marketable securities investment portfolio to be temporary in nature. The Company minimizes the potential risk of principal loss by investing in highly-rated securities and limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio.
