At March 31, 2015, the Company had $2,102 million ($1,050 million at December 31, 2014) of held-to-maturity securities (primarily Treasury Bills) classified as cash equivalents, as these securities had maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company’s investments in held-to-maturity securities are held at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. At March 31, 2015, the Company had investments in money market funds of $1,369 million classified as cash equivalents ($1,655 million at December 31, 2014).
The aggregate cost of the Company’s cost method investments totaled $190 million at March 31, 2015 ($181 million at December 31, 2014). Due to the nature of these investments, either the cost basis approximates fair market value or fair value is not readily determinable. These investments are reviewed quarterly for impairment indicators. The Company's impairment analysis resulted in no reduction in the cost basis of these investments for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 ($5 million reduction in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014).
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Fair Value Hedges
For interest rate swap instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current period income and reflected as “Interest expense and amortization of debt discount” in the consolidated statements of income. The short-cut method is used when the criteria are met. At March 31, 2015, the Company had an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $100 million (zero at December 31, 2014) designated as a fair value hedge of underlying fixed rate debt obligations with a maturity date of May 2019. The fair value adjustments resulting from this swap were a gain on the derivative of less than $1 million at March 31, 2015 (zero at December 31, 2014).

The net after-tax amounts to be reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" to income within the next 12 months are a $4 million loss for interest rate contracts, a $37 million loss for commodity contracts and a $61 million gain for foreign currency contracts.
