Fair Value Measurement:
 
Our investment securities consist of certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, sovereign bonds and federal tax-exempt state and municipal government debt. All investment securities are considered available-for-sale and are “investment grade”, carried at fair value, and there have been no gains or losses on their disposal. As of June 30, 2013, we had $5.1 million of our investment securities as Level 1 assets, which are certificates of deposit with quoted prices in active markets, and $68.3 million of our investment securities as Level 2 assets, which are pre-refunded municipal securities, non-pre-refunded municipal securities, corporate bonds and sovereign bonds and have observable market based inputs such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. We had no Level 3 investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis.
