We attribute gross unrealized losses pertaining to our held-to-maturity securities as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 to the variability in related market interest rates. We do not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell them prior to the end of their contractual terms. Furthermore, we do not believe that these securities expose us to undue market risk or counterparty credit risk. As such, we do not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired.

Investments Held at Cost

 

As of June 30, 2015, we maintain in the aggregate, non-controlling equity investments of $87.2 million in privately-held corporations, including a $50.0 million investment in the preferred stock of Synthetic Genomics Inc. (SGI), which we purchased in May 2014. We account for these investments under the cost method since we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over these companies and their fair values are not readily determinable. The fair value of these investments has not been estimated at June 30, 2015, as we have not identified any events or developments indicating that their carrying amounts may be impaired. We include these investments within other assets on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
