2
).
 
The Company tests for other-than-temporary losses on a quarterly basis and has considered the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. In reaching this conclusion, the Company considered the credit quality of the issuers of the debt securities as well as the Company’s intent to hold the investments to maturity and recover the full principal.
 
Classification of marketable securities as current or non-current is based upon the security’s maturity date as of the date of these financial statements.
 
The
March 31, 2019
balance of held-to-maturity debt securities by contractual maturity is shown in the following table at amortized cost. Actual maturities
may
differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities
may
have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.
