At September 30, 2019, the Company held $25.0 million in fixed income securities composed of U.S. Treasury securities, securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and municipalities, and $5.4 million issued by corporations with investment grade ratings. Of that total, $2.2 million is classified as short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as maturities are less than one-year, which also includes $7.7 million that is related to time deposits held with various financial institutions.

For securities in a loss position, the following table shows the investments’ gross unrealized loss and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2019:

The unrealized losses were caused by interest rate increases. At September 30, 2019, the Company had 8 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 September 30, 2019.

At December 31, 2018, the Company’s amortized cost and fair values of fixed maturity securities are summarized as follows:

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.

Proceeds from the sales and maturity of the Company’s investment in fixed maturity securities were $5.8 million. This along with maturing time deposits yielded total cash proceeds from the sale of investments of $8.4 million in the period of January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019. These proceeds were used to purchase additional fixed maturity securities and time deposits. The gains and losses realized on those sales for the period from January 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019 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 September 30, 2019, investments with a fair value of approximately $4.8 million were on deposit with state insurance departments to satisfy regulatory requirements.
