2. INVESTMENTS

We classify all of our short-term investments as available-for-sale. We carry these at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (income), which is a separate component of shareholders’ equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These unrealized gains and losses are also reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity. Cost, gains, and losses are determined using the specific identification method.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no investments in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than twelve months.

From time to time over the periods covered in our financial statements included herein, our investments have experienced net unrealized losses. We consider these declines in market value to be due to market conditions, and we do not plan to sell these investments prior to maturity. For these reasons, we do not consider any of our investments to be other than temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The assessment of whether an investment in a debt security has suffered an other-than-temporary impairment is based on whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell, the debt security before recovery of its amortized costs. Further, if we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the debt security, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred and it is measured by the present value of cash flows expected to be collected less the amortized cost basis (credit loss). We have determined that we did not have any other-than-temporary impairments relating to credit losses on debt securities for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
