Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on
our consolidated financial statements, see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Interest Income Risk
Our bank deposits and money market investments are generally held with a number of large, diverse financial
institutions worldwide which we believe mitigates certain risks. In addition, we purchase high quality debt
security investments, substantially all with relatively short maturities (see a description of our debt securities held
in Notes 3 and 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above).
Therefore, interest rate movements generally do not materially affect the valuation of our debt security
investments. Substantially all of our marketable securities are designated as available-for-sale. We generally do
not use our investments for trading purposes.
