First Guaranty sold securities in the held to maturity portfolio in the first quarter of 2020 in order to manage its interest rate and liquidity risk due to changes in economic conditions. First Guaranty sold $18.2 million in U.S. Government agency securities, $13.5 million in mortgage-backed securities and $0.2 million in municipal securities. The total gain on the sale of these securities was $0.1 million. First Guaranty terminated its held to maturity portfolio after these sales.

The scheduled maturities of securities at March 31, 2020, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to calls or prepayments. Mortgage-backed securities are not due at a single maturity because of amortization and potential prepayment of the underlying mortgages. For this reason they are presented separately in the maturity table below.

As of March 31, 2020, 219 of First Guaranty's debt securities had unrealized losses totaling 5.5% of the individual securities' amortized cost basis and 1.4% of First Guaranty's total amortized cost basis of the investment securities portfolio. Eight of the 219 securities had been in a continuous loss position for over 12 months at such date. The eight securities had an aggregate amortized cost basis of $2.0 million and an unrealized loss of $0.5 million at March 31, 2020. Management has the intent and ability to hold these debt securities until maturity or until anticipated recovery.
Securities are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) the recovery of contractual principal and interest and (iv) the intent and ability of First Guaranty to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
 
Investment securities issued by the U.S. Government and Government sponsored enterprises with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities that are the result of changes in market interest rates will not be other-than-temporarily impaired. First Guaranty has the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery, which may not be until maturity.
 
Corporate debt securities in a loss position consist primarily of corporate bonds issued by businesses in the financial, insurance, utility, manufacturing, industrial, consumer products and oil and gas industries. No securities with an other-than-temporary impairment loss were held at March 31, 2020. First Guaranty believes that the remaining issuers will be able to fulfill the obligations of these securities based on evaluations described above. First Guaranty has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover, which could be at their maturity dates.

There were no other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized on securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The following table presents a roll-forward of the amount of credit losses on debt securities held by First Guaranty for which a portion of OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

In the first three months of 2020 there were no other-than-temporary impairment credit losses on securities for which we had previously recognized OTTI. For securities that have indications of credit related impairment, management analyzes future expected cash flows to determine if any credit related impairment is evident. Estimated cash flows are determined using management's best estimate of future cash flows based on specific assumptions. The assumptions used to determine the cash flows were based on estimates of loss severity and credit default probabilities. Management reviews reports from credit rating agencies and public filings of issuers.
