There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.

Amortized cost and fair value of securities by contractual maturity as of March 31, 2017 are shown below. For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on the actual contractual maturities of underlying collateral. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may call or prepay obligations.

The scheduled maturities of available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2017 were as follows:

Maturities

At March 31, 2017, all of the government agencies and mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. Government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Loans and securities carried at approximately $134.6 million at March 31, 2017 were pledged to secure FHLB advances. In addition, securities carried at approximately $5.3 million at March 31, 2017 were pledged to secure public deposits.
