Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recognized as income on the date the stock trades “ex-dividend.” The cost of marketable securities sold is determined by the specific identification method. Realized gains or (losses) are reflected in income and were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The gains and losses for trading investments were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, no security shall have a maturity or average life longer than three years. The average duration of the portfolio shall be no more than one year. Corporate securities must have ratings of A3/A- or better. Asset-backed securities must be rated AAA. Short-term ratings of A-2/P2/F2 or higher are also permitted. With respect to compliance with these investment guidelines the rating agencies include Moody’s Investor Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Investor Service. The middle of Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch rating shall be used to determine compliance with credit quality guidelines. If a security is rated by two rating agencies, the lower rating will apply. If only one rating exists, that rating shall be used.
