3. Securities
Securities consisted of the following available-for-sale investments:
At June 30, 2012, we had 10 securities with gross unrealized losses for less than one year and 5 securities with unrealized losses for greater than one year, however the gross unrealized losses for these securities both individually and in the aggregate were less than $1 million. The table below provides a summary of gross unrealized losses and related fair values as of December 31, 2011 for available-for-sale securities for continuing operations classified as to the length of time the losses have existed.
Gross unrealized gains for securities in our continuing operations were essentially flat during the first half of 2012. We have reviewed our securities for which there is an unrealized loss in accordance with our accounting policies for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). As a result of this review, no OTTI was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, OTTI of less than $1 million was recognized in earnings on certain debt securities. As it relates to the securities of our discontinued operations, these securities are part of a disposal group that became classified as held for sale during the second quarter of 2012 and moved to assets of discontinued operations. Upon classification as held for sale, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment on the unrealized loss associated with these securities totaling $1 million as we no longer have the intent to hold these securities until recovery of the unrealized loss. See Note 2, “Discontinued Operations,” for additional information. On-Going Assessment for Other-Than-Temporary Impairment On a quarterly basis, we perform an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security with an unrealized loss has suffered other-than-temporary impairment. A debt security is considered impaired if the fair value is less than its amortized cost basis at the reporting date. If impaired, we then assess whether the unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. An unrealized loss is generally deemed to be other-than-temporary and a credit loss is deemed to exist if the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis of the debt security. As a result, the credit loss component of an other-than-temporary impairment write-down for debt securities is recorded in earnings while the remaining portion of the impairment loss is recognized net of tax in other comprehensive income (loss) provided we do not intend to sell the underlying debt security and it is more-likely-than-not that we would not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery. For all our debt securities as of the reporting date, we do not have the intention to sell these securities and believe we will not be required to sell these securities for contractual, regulatory or liquidity reasons. We consider the following factors in determining whether a credit loss exists and the period over which the debt security is expected to recover:
For available-for-sale securities in our continuing operations, at June 30, 2012, approximately 93 percent of our corporate debt securities are rated A- or better. At December 31, 2011, approximately 90 percent of our corporate debt securities for our continuing operations are rated A- or better. Other-than-temporary impairments may occur in future periods if the credit quality of the securities deteriorates. Although the fair value of a particular security is below its amortized cost for more than 12 months, it does not necessarily result in a credit loss and hence other-than-temporary impairment. The decline in fair value may be caused by, among other things, the illiquidity of the market. To the extent we do not intend to sell the debt security and it is more-likely-than-not we will not be required to sell the security before the recovery of the amortized cost basis, no other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. For available-for-sale securities in our discontinued operations, At June 30, 2012, approximately 86 percent of our corporate debt securities are rated A- or better and approximately 91 percent of our asset-backed securities, which totaled $22 million are rated “AAA.” At December 31, 2011, approximately 88 percent of our corporate debt securities for discontinued operations are rated A- or better and approximately 91 percent of our asset-backed securities for discontinued operations, which totaled $27 million are rated “AAA.” Other-than-temporary impairments may occur in future periods if the credit quality of the securities deteriorates. There were no significant gross realized gains or gross realized losses for continuing operations recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Contractual maturities and yields on investments in debt securities for continuing operations for those with set maturities were as follows:
