Note 6 — Marketable Securities

Marketable securities at March 31, 2013 consisted of municipal bonds and certificates of deposits, and are classified as held-to-maturity due to our ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity or the call date as the case may be.  Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.  A decline in the market value of any held-to-maturity security below the amortized cost basis that is deemed other than temporary is charged to income, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.  There was no other than temporary impairment during three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012; therefore, no adjustment to the amortized cost basis was made.  Currently, all of the Company’s marketable securities mature within one year.

The fair value of the marketable securities above was determined using Level 2 inputs.  There were no gross realized gains or losses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
