As of
March 31, 2019,
the Company had
41
investments that were in an unrealized loss position. The gross unrealized losses on these investments at
March 31, 2019
of
$102
were determined to be temporary in nature. The Company reviews the investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible other-than-temporary impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

The Company has a marketable equity investment in a company located in Taiwan. The fair value of the investment and unrealized loss as of
March 31, 2019
was
$1,659
and
$335,
respectively. This investment is included in Other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
The Company has non-marketable equity investments in privately held companies without readily determinable market values. The Company adjusts the carrying value of non-marketable equity investments to fair value upon observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer or impairment (referred to as the measurement alternative). All gains and losses on non-marketable equity investments, realized and unrealized, are recognized in Other income (expense), net. As of
March 31, 2019,
non-marketable equity investments had a carrying value of approximately
$16,866,
of which
$6,066
was remeasured to fair value based on observable transaction during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018.
These investments are included in Other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The unrealized gain recorded in other income and included as adjustment to the carrying value of non-marketable equity investments held was
$3,066
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018.
