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 Income (Loss). At the time the securities are sold or otherwise disposed of, gross realized gains and losses are included in Net income (loss) Gross realized gains and losses are based on the carrying value (cost, net of discounts or premiums) of the sold investment.
