Note 2 - Marketable Securities

Note 2 – Marketable Securities

The Company has classified its marketable securities as available for sale.  Realized gains on marketable securities totaled $1 and $27 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The securities were sold during the year ended December 31, 2014.  The following table summarizes the Company’s marketable securities’ adjusted cost, gross unrealized gains (losses) and fair value as of December 31, 2013:

	December 31, 2013
	Adjusted	Unrealized	Unrealized	Fair
	Cost	Gains	Losses	Value
Mutual funds - debt securities	$184	$-	$(1)	$183
Money market mutual funds	46	-	-	46
Total	$230	$-	$(1)	$229

The Company considers the declines in market value of its marketable securities to be temporary in nature.  The investments consist of mutual funds selected according to an asset allocation policy of capital preservation.   When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment charges on outstanding securities.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs according to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Observable inputs reflecting quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1) directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace

Level 3—Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity

Marketable securities are classified within Level 1 because the underlying investments have readily available quoted market prices.

Marketable securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
