 At September 30, 2020, there were 39 securities in a loss position, of which 26 have been in a loss position for twelve months or more. Management believes that all unrealized losses have resulted from temporary changes in the interest rates and current market conditions and not as a result of credit deterioration. Management does not intend to sell, and it is not likely that the Bank will be required to sell, any of the securities referenced in the table above before recovery of their amortized cost.

Investment securities with a carrying value of $7.0 million and $6.9 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law.
