Cash equivalents and marketable securities
Cash equivalents and marketable securities
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 consisted of money market funds. The Company did not have cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014.
Marketable securities as of December 31, 2015 consisted of corporate debt securities. The Company did not hold any marketable securities as of December 31, 2014. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale pursuant to ASC 320 Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity and a component of total comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss), until realized. Realized gains and losses are included in investment income on a specific-identification basis. There were immaterial realized gains on marketable securities during the year ended December 31, 2015, and no realized gains or losses during the period from February 26, 2014 (inception) to December 31, 2014.
The Company reviews marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment whenever the fair value of a marketable security is less than the amortized cost and evidence indicates that a marketable security’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. Other-than-temporary impairments of investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations if the Company has experienced a credit loss, has the intent to sell the marketable security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the marketable security before recovery of the amortized cost basis. Evidence considered in this assessment includes reasons for the impairment, compliance with the Company’s investment policy, the severity and the duration of the impairment and changes in value subsequent to the end of the period.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had $24,652,348 of marketable securities classified as current and $2,312,949 of marketable securities classified as noncurrent. The Company did not hold any investments as of December 31, 2014. Investments classified as current have maturities of less than one year. Investments classified as noncurrent are those that (i) have a maturity greater than one year and (ii) management does not intend to liquidate within the next year, although these funds are available for use and therefore classified as available-for-sale.
At December 31, 2015, the Company held eleven debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position, all of which have been in a continuous loss position for less than 12 months. The aggregate fair value of debt securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2015 was $24,967,915. There were no individual securities that were in a significant unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2015. The Company evaluated its securities for other-than-temporary impairment and considered the decline in market value for the securities to be primarily attributable to current economic and market conditions. The Company has the intent and ability to hold such securities until recovery. Based on this analysis, these marketable securities were not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2015.
