CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS

3. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS:

The Company’s portfolio of marketable fixed income securities consists of U.S. Government bonds and corporate bonds. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity (maturity at the purchase date) of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies its remaining debt security investments as available-for-sale. These debt securities are carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method.

Long-term Minority Investments

The Company’s portfolio of minority investments consists of investments in privately held early-stage companies primarily motivated for the Company to gain early access to new technology and are passive in nature in that the Company typically does not seek to obtain representation on the boards of directors of the companies in which it invests. Minority investments are included in investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had minority investments in five entities with a total carrying value of $14.0 million accounted for as equity securities without readily determinable fair values, as compared to four minority investments with a total carrying value of $12.0 million as of December 31, 2022.
