Impairments and Unrealized Gains and Losses on Investments

 

We did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to our securities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. We considered various factors, including the length of time that each security was in an unrealized loss position and our ability and intent to hold these securities until the recovery of their amortized cost basis occurs. As of March 31, 2014, an insignificant portion of our investments has been in an unrealized loss position for more than one year. Future events may occur, or additional information may become available, which may cause us to identify credit losses where we do not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of a security and which may necessitate the recording of future realized losses on securities in our portfolio. Significant losses in the estimated fair values of our investments could have a material adverse effect on our earnings in future periods.

 

Realized Gains and Losses on Investments

 

Gains and losses are determined on the specific identification method. Realized gains were insignificant during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
