The Company’s investments in marketable securities consist primarily of investments in US Treasury securities and federal bonds. Market values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on an annual basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment exists as of March 31, 2023.
