Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks, money market funds and highly liquid debt securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less. Short-term investments include debt securities with an original maturity greater than 90 days. The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as available-for-sale and realized gains and losses are included in income based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. Interest on securities classified as available-for-sale is included as a component of interest income.

Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash equivalents consist of instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

We classify all of our cash equivalents and short-term investments that are free of trading restrictions or become free of trading restrictions within one year as “available-for-sale.” We carry these investments at fair value, based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains are recognized when realized in our consolidated statements of income. Losses are recognized as realized or when we have determined that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred.

It is our policy to review our marketable equity securities classified as short-term investments on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not any security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. Our policy includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the cash position, earnings/revenue outlook, stock price performance over the past six months, liquidity and management/ownership of each company we invest in. If we believe that an other-than-temporary decline exists in one of our marketable equity securities, it is our policy to write down these equity investments to the market value and record the related write-down as an investment loss on our consolidated statements of income.
