During the first quarter of 2015, the Company began offering certain qualified individuals the ability to participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The mutual funds held by the Company that are associated with this plan are classified as restricted trading securities. These securities are not included in the available-for-sale securities table above, but are included in marketable securities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Unrealized gains and unrealized temporary losses on investments classified as available-for-sale are included within accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon realization, those amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest income in the statements of income. As of September 30, 2015, the Company held for investment corporate bonds with a fair value of $68.8 million, which are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities and have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses are not significant and are attributable to changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe any unrealized losses represent other than temporary impairments based on the evaluation of available evidence. At December 31, 2014, there were no securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than 12 months.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company grouped money market funds, certificates of deposit and mutual funds using a Level 1 valuation because market prices for such investments were readily available in active markets. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company grouped commercial paper, corporate bonds and U.S. government agency obligations using a Level 2 valuation because quoted prices for identical or similar assets were available in markets that are inactive.

When developing fair value estimates, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for the Company's Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market-based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not available, the Company is required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument.

The valuation technique used to measure fair value of the Company's Level 3 liability, which consisted of a contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Velocius Networks, Inc. ("Velocius") in 2013, was primarily an income approach. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Velocius contingent consideration was the likelihood of achieving development milestones to integrate the acquired technology into the Company's technology. The remaining milestone was achieved in June 2015 and was paid in the third quarter of 2015.

The following table reflects the activity for the Company’s liability measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (in thousands):
