At March 31, 2018, all of the Company's available-for-sale securities are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as short-term investments of $1,295.3 million.  All available-for-sale debt securities are classified as short-term on the consolidated balance sheet because the Company intends to sell them in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 to fund the closing of its pending acquisition of Microsemi. At March 31, 2017, the Company's available-for-sale securities are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as short-term investments of $394.1 million and long-term investments of $107.5 million.

There were no sales of available-for-sale investments during the year ended March 31, 2018. The Company sold available-for-sale investments for proceeds of $470.2 million and $1,501.5 million during the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company had no material net realized gains from sales of available-for-sale marketable equity and debt securities during the years ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 compared to gains of $13.7 million during the year ended March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized an impairment of $15.5 million on available-for-sale investments based on its evaluation of available evidence and the Company's intent to sell these investments during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 to fund its pending acquisition of Microsemi. The Company determines the cost of available-for-sale debt securities sold on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis at the individual security level for sales from multiple lots. For sales of marketable equity securities, the Company uses an average cost basis at the individual security level. Gains and losses recognized in earnings are credited or charged to other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of income.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company did not have any investments in an unrealized position for which an other-than-temporary impairment had not been recognized. The following table show all investments in an unrealized loss position for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized and the related gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and the length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position during the year ended March 31, 2017 (amounts in millions):

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2018, by contractual maturity, excluding marketable equity securities of $2.8 million, which have no contractual maturity, are shown below (amounts in millions).
