The Company has elected to measure the equity securities with no readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes for identical or similar securities of the same issuer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no adjustments to the carrying balance of equity securities with no readily determinable fair value based on an observable price change of an identical investment. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying balance of equity securities with no readily determinable fair value reflect cumulative downward adjustments based on observable price changes of $165,000. There have been no impairments or upward adjustments based on observable price changes to equity securities with no readily determinable fair value.

As of June 30, 2020, there were 9 debt securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of twelve months or more, and 28 debt securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of less than twelve months. These unrealized losses are primarily a result of fluctuations in market interest rates. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the debt securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. Management believes that all declines in value of these debt securities are deemed to be temporary.
