Note 3. Investments

Available-for-sale investments, including accrued interest, as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

As of September 30, 2011, the Company's 2 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2012 are classified as current as $206,736 becomes due within the next 12 months. The Company has classified all of its marketable securities, including those with maturities greater than one year, as current on the consolidated balance sheet, as these securities may need to be liquidated if the 2 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2012 are repaid in cash rather than converting to common stock.

See Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, for the fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities.

The Company's restricted investments with respect to its headquarters ("Traville") lease serve as collateral for a letter of credit which serves as the security deposit for the duration of the lease, although the Company has the ability to reduce the restricted investments that are in the form of securities by substituting cash security deposits in the amount of $19,750 to be maintained with the landlord. Presently, to secure the security deposit letter of credit, the Company is required to maintain margin value of the collateral of at least $19,750.

 

The Company's restricted investments with respect to its large-scale manufacturing facility ("LSM") lease, as amended, will serve as collateral in favor of the landlord in lieu of providing the landlord with either a cash deposit or a standby letter of credit. Under the LSM lease, the Company is required to pledge to the landlord a minimum of $20,000 in marketable securities or provide the landlord with a $19,750 cash security deposit. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has pledged marketable securities.

In addition, the Company is also required to maintain $34,300 in restricted investments with respect to two leases with the Maryland Economic Development Corporation ("MEDCO") for its small-scale manufacturing facility. The facility was financed primarily through a combination of bonds issued by MEDCO ("MEDCO Bonds") and loans issued to MEDCO by certain State of Maryland agencies. The MEDCO Bonds are secured by letters of credit issued for the account of MEDCO which expire in December 2011. The Company is required to maintain restricted investments which serve as security for the MEDCO letters of credit reimbursement obligation. The Company is currently negotiating with a lender to extend and replace the expiring letters of credit and expects to finalize the transaction prior to the expiration of the current letters of credit.

Marketable securities and Restricted investments – unrealized losses

The Company has evaluated its marketable securities and restricted investments and has determined that none of these investments has an other-than-temporary impairment, as it has no intent to sell securities with unrealized losses and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any securities with unrealized losses, given the Company's current and anticipated financial position.

The Company's equity investments of less than 20% in privately-held companies are carried at cost and are included in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, the Company no longer owns any such investments (see Note 4, Collaborations and Other Agreements – Aegera Agreement, for additional information).
