*No single maturity date. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded gross realized gain on investments of $20,000 and $0, respectively, and gross realized loss on investments of $339,000 and $10,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded net unrealized loss on available-for-sale equity securities of $4.8 million and $848,000, respectively. No material balances were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Interest and dividends on investments classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had 29 available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, of which 13 with an aggregate total unrealized loss of $2.9 million were in such position for longer than 12 months. The Company periodically reviews its portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities to determine if any investment is impaired due to credit loss or other potential valuation concerns. For the debt securities where the fair value of the investment is less than the amortized cost basis, the Company has assessed at the individual security level for various quantitative factors including, but not limited to, the nature of the investments, changes in credit ratings, interest rate fluctuations, industry analyst reports, and the severity of impairment. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities as of March 31, 2022 were primarily due to changes in interest rates, and not due to increased credit risks associated with specific securities. Based on the credit quality of the available-for-sale debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position, and the Company’s estimates of future cash flows to be collected from those securities, the Company believes the unrealized losses are not credit losses. Accordingly, at March 31, 2022, the Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses related to its available-for-sale debt securities. The following table presents the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis, determined using the following inputs as of March 31, 2022:

Level 1 assets at March 31, 2022 consisted of mutual funds and U.S. treasury securities held by the Company that are valued at quoted market prices, as well as the Company’s investment in its affiliated entity, PLS. The Company accounts for its investment in 597,808 common shares of PLS based on the closing price of the shares on the Korea New Exchange Market on the applicable balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses on the Company's equity securities are reported in the consolidated statement of ope rations as unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale equity securities or as a gain (loss) on investment in affiliated entity. Level 2 assets at March 31, 2022 consisted of commercial paper, certificates of deposit and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities held by the Company that are initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of each reporting period, typically utilizing market observable data. The Company obtains the fair value of its Level 2 assets from a professional pricing service, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. The professional pricing service gathers quoted market prices and observable inputs from a variety of industry data providers. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the Company's Level 2 financial instruments were derived from non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments, or pricing models such as discounted cash flow techniques. The Company validates the quoted market prices provided by the primary pricing service by comparing the service's assessment of the fair values of the Company's investment portfolio balance against the fair values of the Company's investment portfolio balance obtained from an independent source. There were no Level 3 assets held as of March 31, 2022.
