(1)Amortized cost excludes accrued interest receivable of $18.3 million and $21.8 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which is included in accrued interest and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
(2)The Company adopted the new accounting standard for credit losses on January 1, 2020. For periods subsequent to adoption Allowance is calculated under the CECL methodology and the resulting provision includes expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities. The prior period did not have an allowance under applicable GAAP for that period.
Agency securities represent obligations issued by a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or other federally-related entity and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed and therefore, assumed to be zero loss. Securities with unrealized losses and no allowance are considered to be of high credit quality, and therefore, no credit loss as of March 31, 2020. The current unrealized loss position of certain agency securities and non-agency CMBS with no credit loss allowance can be attributed to the changing interest rate environment. An allowance for credit losses on investment securities held-to-maturity of $312 thousand has been recorded for certain Municipal bonds and notes to account for expected lifetime credit loss. Expected lifetime credit loss on investment securities held-to-maturity is primarily attributed to securities not rated.
The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for credit losses on investment securities held-to-maturity:

Credit Quality Information
The Company monitors the credit quality of held-to-maturity debt securities through credit ratings by Standard & Poor's Rating Services (S&P), Moody's Investor Services (Moody's), Fitch Ratings, Inc., Kroll Bond Rating Agency, or DBRS Inc. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P, or Baa3 or higher by Moody's, and generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, labeled as speculative grade by the rating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. Securities shown below that are not rated are backed by U.S. Treasury obligations, and credit quality indicators are updated at each quarter end.

Fair Value and Unrealized Losses
The following tables provide information on fair value and unrealized losses for the individual available-for-sale securities with an unrealized loss, for which an allowance for credit losses on investment securities available-for-sale has not been recorded, aggregated by classification and length of time that the individual investment securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities presented in the previous table have not been recognized in the consolidated statements of income because the securities are high credit quality, investment grade securities that the Company does not intend to sell and will not be required to sell prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is attributable to factors other than credit losses. Fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity. As of March 31, 2020, none of the available-for-sale investment securities were in non-accrual status.
