INVESTMENTS IN DEBT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE | 3. INVESTMENTS IN DEBT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE Investments in debt securities available for sale with a fair value of $9,857,087 and $21,254,485 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, consisted of U.S. Treasury securities and corporate debt securities. These investments are valued at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company reviews its debt securities classified as short-term investments on a regular basis for impairment. For debt securities in unrealized loss positions, the Company determines whether any portion of the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is due to credit-related factors if it neither intends to sell nor anticipates that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis. The Company considers factors such as the extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, any noted failure of the issuer to make scheduled payments, changes to the rating of the security and other relevant credit-related factors in determining whether or not a credit loss exists. During fiscal 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize an allowance for credit-related losses on any of our investments. A summary of the cost, fair value and maturities of the Company’s short-term investments is as follows: SCHEDULE OF COST, FAIR VALUE AND MATURITIES OF SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS
