The unrealized losses were caused by interest rate increases. At March 31, 2019, the Company had 9 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 March 31, 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 $1.9 million. This along with maturing time deposits yielded total cash proceeds from the sale of investments of $2.4 million in the period of January 1, 2019 to March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2019, investments with a fair value of approximately $4.1 million were on deposit with state insurance departments to satisfy regulatory requirements.
