The unrealized losses at March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019 were a result of an increase in market yields from the time the securities were purchased. In general, as market yields rise, the fair value of securities will decrease; as market yields fall, the fair value of securities will increase. Management generally views changes in fair value caused by changes in market yields as temporary. Therefore, these securities have not been classified as other-than-temporarily impaired. The impairment is also considered temporary because scheduled coupon payments have been made, it is anticipated that the entire principal balance will be collected as scheduled, and management neither intends to sell the securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities, before the recovery of the remaining amortized cost amount, which could be at maturity. As a result of the analysis, management has concluded that no other-than-temporary impairments existed at March 31, 2020 or September 30, 2019.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of AFS debt securities as of March 31, 2020, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual principal repayments may differ from contractual maturities due to prepayment or early call privileges by the issuer. In the case of MBS, borrowers on the underlying loans generally have the right to prepay their loans without prepayment penalty. For this reason, MBS are not included in the maturity categories.



	Amortized		Estimated
	Cost		Fair Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
One year or less	$	55,179	$	55,245
One year through five years	206,788		207,474

MBS	947,549		973,318
