At each reporting date, the Company reviews its investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. To determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company considers all available evidence, including the issuer’s financial condition, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for any forecasted recovery. If a decline in value is deemed other-than-temporary, the Company records a reduction in the carrying value to the estimated fair value. The Company determined that no other-than-temporary impairment exists for the year ended December 31, 2014. In 2013, the Company concluded that the unrealized loss on one of its municipal bonds was other-than-temporary. Accordingly, the Company wrote the bond down to fair value and recorded an impairment loss of $200,000. This loss was recorded within other expense, net, in the 2013 Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
