At March 31, 2019, the amortized cost and estimated fair value of available‑for‑sale securities have contractual maturity dates shown in the table below (in thousands). Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.


	Amortized		Fair
March 31, 2019	Cost		Value
Due within one year through five years	$	555	$	558
Securities (agency and CMO)		54,021		53,052
Total	$	54,576	$	53,610

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, securities with carrying values totaling $5.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively, were pledged to secure various public deposits and credit facilities of the Company.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, thirty securities and thirty-three securities, respectively were in an unrealized loss position, with unrealized losses totaling $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Twenty-five of the securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2019 have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than twelve months, and the remaining securities in a loss position have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. The unrealized loss positions were caused primarily by interest rate changes and market assumptions about prepayments of principal and interest on the underlying mortgages. Because the decline in market value is attributable to market conditions, not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be near or at maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other‑than‑temporarily impaired at March 31, 2019.

The following table summarizes securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, aggregated by major security type and length of time in a continuous unrealized loss position (in thousands, before tax):
