Marketable Securities

At February 28, 2015, the Company has investments in municipal bonds of $11.0 million; $0.3 million is current and $10.7 million is non-current. The Company’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd., held all of the municipal bonds at the end of both fiscal 2015 and 2014. Prism insures a portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement. All of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available-for-sale,” are carried at fair value and are reported as short-term marketable securities available for sale or marketable securities available for sale in the consolidated balance sheets.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair values of investments available for sale at February 28, 2015 and March 1, 2014, are as follows:

The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and considers the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. The Company intends to hold the investments until it can recover the full principal amount and has the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. The Company expects such recoveries to occur prior to the contractual maturities.

The following table presents the length of time that available-for-sale securities were in continuous unrealized loss positions, but were not deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, as of February 28, 2015:
