Non-credit
related other-than-temporary impairment in accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts are
before-tax.
United has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of
available-for-sale
debt securities and report accrued interest separately in “Accrued interest receivable” in the consolidated balance sheets.
Available-for-sale
debt securities are placed on
non-accrual
status when we no longer expect to receive all contractual amounts due, which is generally at 90 days past due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income when a security is placed on
non-accrual
status. Accordingly, we do not recognize an allowance for credit loss against accrued interest receivable. The table above excludes accrued interest receivable of $11,275 and $9,890 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, that is recorded in “Accrued interest receivable.”
The following is a summary of securities available for sale which were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The following table shows the proceeds from maturities, sales and calls of available for sale securities and the gross realized gains and losses on sales and calls of those securities that have been included in earnings as a result of any sales and calls. Gains or losses on sales and calls of available for sale securities were recognized by the specific identification method. The realized losses relate to sales of securities within a rabbi trust for the payment of benefits under a deferred compensation plan for certain key officers and its subsidiaries.

At June 30, 2020, gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities were $21,178 on 77 securities of a total portfolio of 982 available for sale securities. Securities with the most significant gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2020 consisted primarily of asset-backed securities and single issue trust preferred securities. The asset-backed securities are backed by Federal Family Education Loan Program (“FFELP”) student loan collateral which includes a minimum of a 97% government repayment guaranty, as well as additional credit support and subordination in excess of the government guaranteed portion. The single issue trust preferred securities relate to securities of financial institutions.
In determining whether or not a security is impaired, management considered the severity of the loss in conjunction with United’s positive intent and the more likely than not ability to hold these securities to recovery of their cost basis or maturity.
State and political subdivisions
United’s state and political subdivisions portfolio relates to securities issued by various municipalities located throughout the United States. The total amortized cost of available for sale state and political subdivision securities was $502,293 at June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 57% of the portfolio was supported by the
 
general obligation of the issuing municipality, which allows for the securities to be repaid by any means available to the municipality. The majority of the portfolio was rated AA or higher, and less than 0.1% the portfolio were rated
below investment grade as of June 30, 2020. In addition to monitoring the credit ratings of these securities, management also evaluates the financial performance of the underlying issuers on an ongoing basis. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the state and political subdivision securities were impaired at June 30, 2020.
Agency mortgage-backed securities
United’s agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates to securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. The total amortized cost of available for sale agency mortgage-backed securities was $1,410,376 at June 30, 2020. Of the $1,410,376 amount, $591,303 was related to agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and $819,073 was related to agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Each of the agency mortgage-backed securities provides a guarantee of full and timely payments of principal and interest by the issuing agency. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the agency mortgage-backed securities were impaired at June 30, 2020.
Non-agency
residential mortgage-backed securities
United’s
non-agency
residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio relates to securities of various private label issuers. The total amortized cost of available for sale
non-agency
residential mortgage-backed securities was $61,954 at June 30, 2020. Of the $61,954, 93% was rated AAA and 7% was unrated. As of June 30, 2020, none of the
non-agency
residential mortgage-backed securities were in an unrealized loss position and were therefore not considered to be impaired.
Single issue trust preferred securities
The majority of United’s single issue trust preferred portfolio consists of obligations from large cap banks (i.e. banks with market capitalization in excess of $10 billion). All single issue trust preferred securities are currently receiving interest payments. The amortized cost of available for sale single issue trust preferred securities as of June 30, 2020 consisted of $11,492 in investment grade bonds, $978 in split rated bonds, and $5,741 in unrated bonds. Management reviews each issuer’s current and projected earnings trends, asset quality, capitalization levels, and other key factors. Upon completing the review for the second quarter of 2020, it was determined that none of the single issue trust preferred securities were impaired.
Trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (Trup Cdos)
The total amortized cost balance of United’s Trup Cdo portfolio was $11,895 as of June 30, 2020. For any securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses its intentions regarding any sale of securities as well as the likelihood that it would be required to sell prior to recovery of the amortized cost. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has determined that it does not intend to sell any Trup Cdo and that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost.
To determine a net realizable value and assess whether impairment existed, management performed detailed cash flow analysis to determine whether, in management’s judgment, it was more likely that United would not recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Based on this review, management does not believe any individual security with an unrealized loss as of June 30, 2020 is impaired.
Corporate securities
As of June 30, 2020, United’s Corporate securities portfolio had a total amortized cost balance of $365,934. The majority of the portfolio consisted of debt issuances of corporations representing a variety of industries, including financial institutions. Of the $365,934, 88% was investment grade rated and 12% was unrated. For corporate 
securities, management has evaluated the near-term prospects of the investment in relation to the severity of any unrealized loss. Based upon management’s analysis and judgment, it was determined that none of the corporate securities were impaired at June 30, 2020.
 
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available for sale at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 by contractual maturity are shown as follows. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without penalties.

Other investment securities
During the second quarter of 2020, United evaluated all of its cost method investments to determine if certain events or changes in circumstances during the second quarter of 2020 had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of any of its cost method securities. United determined that there was no individual security that experienced an adverse event during the second quarter. There were no other events or changes in circumstances during the second quarter which would have an adverse effect on the fair value of its cost method securities.
The carrying value of securities pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law, approximated $2,150,574 and $1,540,717 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
