On a quarterly basis, temporarily impaired securities are evaluated to determine whether such impairment is an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The Company has performed this evaluation and has determined that the unrealized losses at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are not considered other-than-temporary but are the result of changes in interest rates, and are therefore reflected in other comprehensive loss.
