Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original final maturities of 90 days or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents comprise funds in cash and money market accounts held at multiple banking and asset management institutions.

Marketable securities

Marketable securities classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy generally consist of U.S. government agency securities and treasuries, corporate bonds, and commercial paper. The Company estimates the fair values of these marketable securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing sources. These pricing sources utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include market pricing based on real-time trade data for the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark yields, and other observable inputs. The Company validates the prices provided by its third-party pricing sources by understanding the models used, obtaining market values from other pricing sources and analyzing pricing data in certain instances.

The amortized cost of available-for-sale debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to the earliest call date for premiums or to maturity for discounts. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss was composed primarily of activity related to the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities. There were $0.1 million and no realized losses recognized on the sale or maturity of available-for-sale debt securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Accrued interest receivable on the Company's available-for-sale debt securities totaled $0.5 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. No accrued interest receivable was written off during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

The following table summarizes available-for-sale debt securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than and greater than twelve months, and for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):
