INVESTMENTS
The Company classifies the marketable securities in which it invests as available-for-sale securities. These securities are measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains or losses recorded in Other comprehensive income in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. At the time the securities are sold or otherwise disposed of, gross realized gains and losses are included in Net (loss) income. Gross realized gains and losses are based on the carrying value (cost, net of discounts or premiums) of the sold investment. The amounts reclassified out of Other comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were insignificant.
The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, and fair value of available-for-sale investment securities by major security type and class of security at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
