6. SECURITIES

Equity Securities

Equity securities owned by the Company consist of common stock of various financial services providers (“Bank Stocks”). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016‑01, Measurement of Financial Assets Instruments. Upon adoption, equity securities with readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in net income. The Company had $1,144,000 in equity securities recorded at fair value as of December 31, 2019, and $1,118,000 in equity securities recorded at fair value as of December 31, 2018.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a net gain of $26,000 and a net loss of $1,000, respectively, on the consolidated statements of income as a result of the change in fair value of the Company’s equity securities.

Debt Securities Available for Sale

The Company’s investment portfolio includes primarily mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored agencies and backed by residential mortgages (approximately 88%), bonds issued by U.S. Government sponsored agencies (approximately 10%) and municipalities (approximately 2%) as of December 31, 2019. Most of the municipal bonds are general obligation bonds with maturities or pre-refunding dates within 5 years.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available for sale as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the securities may be called or prepaid with or without prepayment penalties.

Certain obligations of the U.S. Government and state and political subdivisions are pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The carrying value of the pledged assets was $50,365,000 and $50,157,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In addition to cash received from the scheduled maturities of securities, some investment securities available for sale are sold at current market values during the course of normal operations. Following is a summary of proceeds received from all investment securities transactions and the resulting realized gains and losses:

At December 31, 2019, nine U.S. Government and agency securities had unrealized losses that, in the aggregate, did not exceed 1% of amortized cost. None of these securities were in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more.

At December 31, 2019, there were no obligations of state and political subdivision bonds with unrealized losses.

At December 31, 2019, twenty-nine mortgage-backed securities had unrealized losses that, in aggregate, did not exceed 1% of amortized cost. Sixteen of these securities were in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more.

The mortgage-backed securities in the Company’s portfolio are government sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) pass-through instruments issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), which guarantees the timely payment of principal on these investments.

The unrealized losses noted above are considered to be temporary impairments. The decline in the values of the debt securities is due only to interest rate fluctuations, rather than erosion of issuer credit quality. As a result, the payment of contractual cash flows, including principal repayment, is not at risk. None of the debt securities are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired because the Company does not intend to sell the securities, does not believe it will be required to sell the securities before recovery and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis.
