All short-term investments are held as available-for-sale and mature within twelve months of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Management reviews unrealized losses individually and in the aggregate at each reporting period and has determined that none of the balances are other than temporarily impaired based upon the brief duration of time that the investments have been at a loss position as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
