Marketable securities, included in other current and long-term assets totaling $67.0 million and $68.2 million at November 30, 2014, respectively, and included in other current and long-term assets totaling $71.9 million and $71.0 million at May 31, 2014, respectively, are composed of available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value. We carry a portion of our marketable securities portfolio in long-term assets since they are generally held for the settlement of our general and product liability insurance claims processed through our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiaries.

Marketable securities are composed of available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized in net income on the specific identification basis. Changes in the fair values of securities that are considered temporary are recorded as unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. Other-than-temporary declines in market value from original cost are reflected in operating income in the period in which the unrealized losses are deemed other than temporary. In order to determine whether other-than-temporary declines in market value have occurred, the duration of the decline in value and our ability to hold the investment are considered in conjunction with an evaluation of the strength of the underlying collateral and the extent to which the investment’s amortized cost or cost, as appropriate, exceeds its related market value.

Gross gains realized on sales of investments were $3.2 million and $0.2 million for the quarters ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the three months ended November 30, 2013, we recognized losses of approximately $0.1 million for securities deemed to have other-than-temporary impairments, while we recognized no such losses during the second quarter of fiscal 2015. These amounts are included in investment (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Gross gains realized on sales of investments were $5.3 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the first half of fiscal 2014, we recognized losses of approximately $0.2 million for securities deemed to have other-than-temporary impairments, while we recognized no such losses during the first half of fiscal 2015.

Summarized below are the securities we held at November 30, 2014 and May 31, 2014 that were in an unrealized loss position and that were included in accumulated other comprehensive income, aggregated by the length of time the investments had been in that position:

Unrealized losses with a loss position for more than 12 months

     29,489        (1,484     18,854        (580

We have reviewed all of the securities included in the table above and have concluded that we have the ability and intent to hold these investments until their cost can be recovered, based upon the severity and duration of the decline. Therefore, we did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses on these investments. The unrealized losses generally relate to investments whose fair values at November 30, 2014 were less than 15% below their original cost. From time to time, we may experience significant volatility in general economic and market conditions. If we were to experience unrealized losses that were to continue for longer periods of time, or arise to more significant levels of unrealized losses within our portfolio of investments in marketable securities in the future, we may recognize additional other-than-temporary impairment losses. Such potential losses could have a material impact on our results of operations in any given reporting period. As such, we continue to closely evaluate the status of our investments and our ability and intent to hold these investments.

 

The net carrying values of debt securities at November 30, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.
