The unrealized losses from corporate issuers were caused by interest rate increases. At June 30, 2016, the Company had 5 securities in an unrealized loss position. The corporate securities are highly rated securities with no indicators of potential impairment. Based on the ability and intent of the Company to hold these investments until recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the bonds were not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2016.
At December 31, 2015, the Company’s amortized cost and fair values of fixed maturity securities are summarized as follows:

The unrealized losses in the Company's investments in U.S. Treasury Securities and obligations of U.S. Government agencies and bonds from corporate issuers were caused by interest rate increases. At December 31, 2015, the Company had 35 securities in an unrealized loss position. The contractual cash flows of the U.S. Treasury Securities and obligations of the U.S. Government agencies investments are either guaranteed by the U.S. Government or an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. The corporate securities are highly rated securities with no indicators of potential impairment. Based on the ability and intent of the Company to hold these investments until recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the bonds were not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2015.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the fixed maturity securities at June 30, 2016 by contractual maturity are set forth below:

The expected maturities in the foregoing table may differ from the contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty.
At June 30, 2016, including the $2.9 million from above in maturities of less than one year, the Company held a balance of $13.2 million in other short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Proceeds from the sales and maturity of the Company’s investment in fixed maturity securities were $4.6 million. This along with maturing time deposits and the utilization of funds from a money-market investment account of $4.8 million yielded total cash proceeds from the sale of investments of $9.4 million in the period of January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016. These proceeds were used to purchase additional fixed maturity securities. The gains and losses realized on those sales for the period from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016 were insignificant.
Realized gains and losses are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, with the cost of securities sold determined on a specific identification basis.
At June 30, 2016, investments with a fair value of approximately $4.0 million were on deposit with state insurance departments to satisfy regulatory requirements.
