SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS [Abstract] |
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS | NOTE 3 - SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Short-term investments consist of U.S. government securities and are classified as available-for-sale. We classify available-for-sale securities on our consolidated balance sheet as follows:
- | Maturing within three months or less from the date of purchase | Cash and cash equivalents
- | Maturing, as of the date of purchase, more than three months, but with remaining maturities of less than one year, from the balance sheet date | Short-term investments
- | Maturing one year or more from the balance sheet date | Long-term marketable investments
As of January 28, 2024, all of our available-for-sale securities had, at their dates of purchase, remaining maturities of more than three months, but less than one year, and have been classified as Short-term investments. Available-for-sale debt investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses (net of tax) reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair values of our available-for-sale securities are Level 1 measurements, based on quoted prices from active markets for identical assets. In the event of a sale of an available-for-sale debt investment, we would determine the cost of the investment sold at the specific individual security level and would include any gain or loss in Interest income and other income, net, where we also report periodic interest earned and the amortization (accretion) of discounts (premiums) related to these investments. The table below provides information on our available-for-sale debt securities.
