may
have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties.
 
The total fair value of marketable securities with outstanding unrealized losses as of
December 31, 2017
amounted to
$85,435,
while the
unrealized losses for these marketable securities amounted to
$1,222.
Of the
$1,222
unrealized losses outstanding as of
December 31, 2017,
a portion of which in the amount of
$775
was related to marketable securities that were in a loss position for more than
12
months and the remaining portion of
$447
was related to marketable securities that were in a loss position for less than
12
months.
 
The total fair value of marketable securities with outstanding unrealized losses as of
December 31, 2016
amounted to
$80,819,
while the unrealized losses for these marketable securities amounted to
$1,152.
Of the
$1,152
unrealized losses outstanding as of
December 31, 2016,
a portion of which in the amount of
$85
was related to marketable securities that were in a loss position for more than
12
months and the remaining portion of
$1,067
was related to marketable securities that were in a loss position for less than
12
months.
 
Management believes that as of
December 31,
2017,
the unrealized losses in the Company’s investments in all types of marketable securities were temporary and
no
impairment loss was realized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
 
The unrealized losses related to
the Company’s marketable securities were primarily due to changes in interest rates. Because the Company does
not
intend to sell the investments and it is
not
more likely than
not
that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which
may
be maturity, the Company does
not
consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at
December 31, 2017.
 
Proceeds from maturity of available-for-sale marketable securities during
201
7,
2016
and
2015
were
$21,499,
$35,090
and
$20,127,
respectively. Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale marketable securities during
2017,
2016
and
2015
were
$19,226,
$14,277
and
$13,238
, respectively. Realized gains from the sale of available-for sale marketable securities for
2017,
2016
and
2015
were
$7,
$16
and
$3,
respectively. Realized losses from the sale of available-for sale marketable securities for
2017,
2016
and
2015
were
$57,
$33
and
$27,
respectively. The Company determines realized gains or losses on the sale of available-for-sale marketable securities based on a specific identification method.
