All individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 had investment grade ratings upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these securities and the various rating agencies have reaffirmed these securities’ long-term investment grade status as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated.

The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. In addition, the unrealized losses on municipal and corporate bonds are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired, as the bonds are rated investment grade and there are no credit quality concerns with the issuers. Interest payments have been made as scheduled, and management believes this will continue in the future and that the bonds will be repaid in full as scheduled. Therefore, in management’s opinion, all securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for the past 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore, no impairment charges as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were warranted.

Realized gains and losses on sales of securities and proceeds from sales of securities were as follows for the periods indicated:
