Marketable Securities

3.     Marketable Securities

The Company’s investments that have original maturities greater than 90 days have been classified as available-for-sale securities in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Marketable securities are categorized on the consolidated condensed balance sheet as short- and long-term marketable securities, as appropriate.

The following table is a summary of available-for-sale securities at December 26, 2015 (in thousands):

							Estimated
			Gross		Gross		Fair Value
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized		(Net Carrying
As of December 26, 2015	Cost		Gains		Losses		Amount)
Corporate debt securities	$	89,731	$	-	$	(256)	$	89,475

The Company’s specifically identified gross unrealized losses of $256 thousand relate to 28 different securities with total amortized cost of approximately $88.7 million at December 26, 2015.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments at a loss and the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, it did not consider the investment in these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 26, 2015.  Further, the securities with gross unrealized losses had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months as of December 26, 2015.
