We do not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell, these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The issuers continue to make timely interest payments on these securities. Because we believe it is more likely than not we will recover the cost basis of our investments, we did not record any impairment attributable to credit losses. None of the marketable securities purchased during the period had experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since its origination and were therefore not considered “Purchased Financial Assets with Credit Deterioration.” Unrealized losses on our marketable securities and their tax effects are as follows: Quarter Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Unrealized gain from marketable securities $ 958,564 $ 425,849 Tax effects (209,734 ) (93,176 ) Unrealized gain on marketable securities, net of tax $ 748,830 $ 332,673 Nine Months Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Unrealized loss from marketable securities $ 589,530 $ (1,450,643 ) Tax effects (128,989 ) 317,401 Unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities, net of tax $ 460,541 $ (1,133,242 ) |
