The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities with original maturities generally ranging from one to three years. The Company's specifically identified gross unrealized loss of $847 thousand related to securities with total amortized cost of approximately $181.0 million at December 30, 2017.  No securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of December 30, 2017. The Company may sell certain of its marketable securities prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipated or actual changes in credit rating and duration management.  When evaluating an investment for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors including the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, changes in market interest rates and whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. As of December 30, 2017, the Company does not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
