Marketable Securities
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist primarily of certificates of deposit and corporate bonds with maturities greater than three months and up to four years at the time of purchase as well as marketable equity securities. These securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of any tax effect, reported in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These securities are classified as current and non-current marketable securities based upon their maturities. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. The amortization of bond premiums totaled $308 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The values of these securities may fluctuate as a result of changes in equity values, market interest rates and credit risk. The schedule of maturities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:
