The security continues to pay interest according to its stated terms. The valuation of the Company’s auction rate security is subject to uncertainties that are difficult to predict. The fair value of the security is estimated by management utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. The key drivers of the valuation model include the expected term, collateralization underlying the security investment, the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the timing of expected future cash flows, discount rates, liquidity and the expected holding period.
