     Gross unrealized losses totaled $456,126 as of September 30, 2011, and were attributable to seven corporate and two municipal bonds out of a portfolio of 54 bonds. Corporate bonds accounted for $437,622 of the total gross unrealized losses. The gross unrealized losses were due to market-price decreases and rating downgrades after the bonds were purchased. None of the bonds we hold had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. Although several of the bonds we held were downgraded by Moody's or Standard and Poor's during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, all of the bonds that were rated by Moody's or Standard and Poor's had investment-grade credit ratings. For each bond with an unrealized loss, we expect to recover the entire cost basis of each security based on our consideration of factors including their credit ratings, the underlying ratings of insured bonds, and historical default rates for securities of comparable credit rating. Because we expect to recover the entire cost basis of the securities, and because we do not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the cost basis, which may be maturity, we did not consider any of our marketable securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011.
