The Company sold 
one
auction-rate security of
$2.0
million at par for the year ended
December 31, 2018.
There were
no
sales of auction-rate securities for the years ended
December 31, 2017
and
2016.
The underlying maturities of the remaining auction-rate securities are up to
28
years. As of both
December 31, 2018
and
2017,
the impairment of
$
0.3
million was determined to be temporary because management possesses both the intent and ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In addition, management believes that it is more likely than
not
that the Company will
not
have to sell these securities before recovery of its cost basis. To date, the Company has redeemed
92%
of the original portfolio in these securities, or
$39.7
million, at par without any realized losses.
