At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 71 and 156 securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position. The Company reviews its investment portfolio quarterly for indications of OTTI, with attention given to securities in a continuous loss position of at least ten percent for over twelve months. Management believes that none of the losses on available-for-sale securities noted above constitute an OTTI and does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The noted losses are considered temporary due to market fluctuations in available interest rates.  Management considers the issuers of the securities to be financially sound, the corporate bonds are investment grade, and the collectability of all contractual principal and interest payments is reasonably expected. No OTTI losses were recognized at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
