We view our short-term investments portfolio as available for use in current operations. Accordingly, we have classified our investments as short-term investments. We have the ability to hold all investments as of March 31, 2016 through their respective maturity dates. At March 31, 2016, we had no investments that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months.  As of March 31, 2016, a total of 16 individual securities had been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or less and the losses were determined to be temporary. The gross unrealized losses above were caused by interest rate increases. No significant facts or circumstances have arisen to indicate that there has been any deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuers of the securities held by us. Based on our review of these securities, including the assessment of the duration and severity of the unrealized losses and our ability and intent to hold the investments until maturity, there were no other-than-temporary impairments for these securities at March 31, 2016.
