For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the unrealized losses on Company's AFS debt securities have not been recognized within income because management does not intend to sell and it is not more-likely-than-not it will be required to sell any of the AFS debt securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Furthermore, the unrealized losses were largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions and not reflective of credit events. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on AFS debt securities, was $3.1 million and was reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.
The amortized cost and estimated fair values of the Company's AFS debt securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2021, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s HTM debt securities portfolio was made up of three investment grade municipal debt securities, of which two securities also carried credit enhancements. The HTM debt securities portfolio was comprised solely of high credit quality (rated AA or higher) state and municipal obligations. High credit quality state and municipal obligations have a history of zero to near-zero credit loss. As a result, the Company determined that the expected credit loss on its HTM portfolio was immaterial, and therefore, an allowance was not carried on its HTM debt securities at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of the Company's HTM debt securities were past due or on non-accrual status. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not recognize any interest income on non-accrual HTM debt securities. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on HTM debt securities, was $8,000 and $10,000, respectively, and reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of HTM debt securities by contractual maturity at March 31, 2021 are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

AFS and HTM Debt Securities Pledged
