Available-for-Sale Securities

Available-for-sale securities consist of investments held by the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, which is required to maintain statutory minimum capital and surplus; therefore its access to these securities may be limited. Available-for-sale securities are included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Realized gains or losses on investments are recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations within net investment income. Upon the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale prior to its maturity, the security’s specific unrealized gain (loss) is reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no such reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings.

The contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities were as follows:
