(1)Amortized cost excludes accrued interest receivable of $18.5 million and $21.8 million at September 30, 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 September 30, 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 $397 thousand was recorded for certain Municipal bonds and notes to account for expected lifetime credit loss upon adoption of the new accounting standard for credit losses. 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.
The following table summarizes credit ratings for amortized cost of held-to-maturity debt securities according to their lowest public credit rating as of September 30, 2020:

(2)Fair value represents net carrying value as there is no allowance for credit losses recorded on investment securities available-for-sale, as the securities are high credit quality, investment grade.
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 primarily attributable to wider spreads in selected asset classes. Fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity. As of September 30, 2020, none of the available-for-sale investment securities were in non-accrual status.

Sales of Available-for Sale Investment Securities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities were $9.0 million, which resulted in realized gains of $8.0 thousand. There were no sales during the three months ended September 30, 2020, or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Other Information
At September 30, 2020, the Company had a carrying value of $1.3 billion in callable debt securities in its CMBS, CLO, and municipal bond portfolios. The Company considers this prepayment risk in the evaluation of its interest rate risk profile.
Investment securities with a carrying value totaling $4.0 billion at September 30, 2020 and $2.7 billion at December 31, 2019 were pledged to secure public funds, trust deposits, repurchase agreements, and for other purposes, as required or permitted by law.
