These balances include $73.6 million and $72.0 million in cash held in operating accounts not included in the tables above at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Debt Securities The gross realized gains and losses on sales of marketable debt securities were not significant during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Unrealized losses on marketable debt securities were $0.3 million and $0.1 million, net of tax, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company evaluated whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors and concluded these amounts were related to temporary fluctuations in value of AFS securities and were due primarily to changes in interest rates and market conditions of the underlying securities. In addition, the contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company did not recognize a provision for credit loss expense related to its AFS debt securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not record any impairment charges related to its AFS debt securities.
