(a) Auction rate securities included in ‘‘Other assets’’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheet
Based on market conditions, the Company uses a discounted cash flow valuation methodology for
auction rate securities. Accordingly, for purposes of the foregoing consolidated financial statements,
these securities were categorized as Level 3 securities. The Company’s ‘‘Marketable Securities’’
classified as Level 2 primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these
securities.
No significant transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 occurred during the year ended
December 31, 2014. The Company’s policy regarding the recording of transfers between levels is to
record any such transfers at the end of the reporting period.
