Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
 
The Company currently invests its excess cash in bank certificates of deposit (“CDs”) that are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and Unites States Treasury (“Treasuries”) securities with terms of
not
more than
five
years, as well as money market accounts. CDs and Treasuries with original maturities of more than
three
months are reported as held-to-maturity investments and are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the negligible risk of changes in value due to interest rates.
The maturity dates of the Company’s investments as of
March 31, 2020
and
September 30, 2019
are as follows:
