The Company's Level 2 available-for-sale fixed income securities are priced using quoted market prices for similar instruments or non-binding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency which are obtained from quoted market prices, independent pricing vendors, or other sources, to determine the ultimate fair value of these assets. The Company's derivative instruments are classified as Level 2, as they are not actively traded and are valued using pricing models that use observable market inputs. The Company's policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 at the beginning of the quarter in which a change in circumstances resulted in a transfer. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of its assets or liabilities measured at fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company transferred approximately $287.4 million of government agency bonds within government sponsored enterprise obligations from Level 1 to Level 2 primarily due to the use of additional valuation inputs more appropriately classified as Level 2 inputs. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had no transfers to Level 3.

All of the Company's privately-held debt securities are classified as Level 3 assets due to the absence of quoted market prices and an inherent lack of liquidity. The Company estimates the fair value of its privately-held debt investments on a recurring basis using an analysis of the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including recent financing activities and the investee's capital structure. During the year ended December 31, 2014, there were purchases of $5.0 million related to privately-held debt securities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain of the Company's assets, including intangible assets, goodwill, and privately-held equity investments, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, only if impairment is indicated. Privately-held equity investments, which are normally carried at cost, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis due to events and circumstances that the Company identified as significantly impacting the fair value of investments. The Company estimates the fair value of its privately-held equity investments using an analysis of the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including recent financing activities and the investee's capital structure.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $850.0 million for its Security reporting unit measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The remeasurement of goodwill is classified as Level 3 value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. Refer to Note 7 Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets for further information on the goodwill impairment charge and the unobservable inputs used.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no significant privately-held equity investments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $2.0 million of privately-held equity investments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and were classified as Level 3 assets due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity. The impairment charges of $2.8 million, representing the difference between the net book value and the fair value, are recorded to other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of December 31, 2012, certain purchased intangible assets with a carrying value of $5.4 million, were impaired and were written-down to their fair value of zero. The impairment charge of $5.4 million was recorded within cost of revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and was classified as Level 3. The Company measured the fair value of these assets primarily using discounted cash flow projections. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no impairments associated with purchased intangible assets.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of the Company's accounts receivable, financing receivables, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. As of December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the Company's promissory note in connection with the sale of Junos Pulse recorded in other long term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet was $125.0 million classified as Level 3 assets due to the absence of quoted market prices and inherent lack of liquidity. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was approximately $1,395.2 million and $1,023.5 million, respectively, based on observable market inputs (Level 2).
