At September 30, 2016, the Company held 158 securities of which 7 were in a loss position. Of the 158 securities 2 are U.S. Government-sponsored agencies 63 are U.S. Government-sponsored agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations and 93 were obligations of states and political subdivisions. The unrealized losses relate principally to market rate conditions. All of the securities continue to pay as scheduled. When analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost; the historical and implied volatility of the security; the financial condition of the issuer of the security; and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security to recovery. As of September 30, 2016, management does not have the intent to sell these securities nor does it believe it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the above and other relevant factors, the Company does not believe the securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2016 are other than temporarily impaired.
