INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are computed based upon specific identification and included in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and the cost basis of the security is reduced. The fair values for marketable equity securities are based on quoted market prices. Held-to-maturity investments are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Interest income is accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses on held-to-maturity investments are computed based upon specific identification and included in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
