During the first three months of 2015 and 2014, we did not recognize in earnings any impairment losses related to credit deterioration. Although we held securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2015, we did not consider them to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of such date. For all investment categories, the unrealized losses of 12 months or greater duration as of March 31, 2015, were generally caused by interest rate or credit spread movements since the purchase date. As of March 31, 2015, we estimated that the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from these securities would be sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of these securities. As of March 31, 2015, we did not have the intent to sell any debt securities in an unrealized loss position, and we determined that it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity; therefore, we did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015. The contractual maturities of fixed-maturity investments are as follows:
| March 31, 2015
| Available for Sale
(In thousands) | Amortized Cost |  | Fair Value
Due in one year or less (1) | $ | 2,262 |  |  | $ | 2,297 |

Due after ten years (1) | 142,646 |  |  | 151,323 |

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Radian Guaranty had $210.3 million and $209.3 million, respectively, in a collateral account pursuant to the Freddie Mac Agreement. These investments, which are primarily invested in trading securities, are pledged to cover Loss Mitigation Activity on the loans subject to that agreement. Subject to certain conditions in the Freddie Mac Agreement, amounts in the collateral account may be released to Radian Guaranty over time to the extent that Loss Mitigation Activity becomes final in accordance with the terms of the Freddie Mac Agreement. However, if the amount of Loss Mitigation Activity that becomes final in accordance with the Freddie Mac Agreement is less than $205 million prior to the termination of the Freddie Mac Agreement, then any shortfall will be paid to Freddie Mac from the funds in the collateral account. From the time the collateral account was established through March 31, 2015, approximately $122 million of Loss Mitigation Activity had become final in accordance with the Freddie Mac Agreement and approximately $18 million of submitted claims had been rescinded, denied, curtailed or cancelled, but were not yet considered final in accordance with the Freddie Mac Agreement.
