We evaluate securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability we have to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. For those debt securities whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis, we also consider our intent to sell the security, whether it is more likely than

not

that we will be required to sell the security before recovery and if we do

not

expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, we

may

consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

March 31, 2019,

267

debt securities with fair values totaling

$225

million have unrealized losses aggregating

$7.9

million. After we considered whether the securities were issued by the federal government or its agencies and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies had occurred, we determined that the unrealized losses were due to changing interest rate environments. As we do

not

intend to sell our debt securities before recovery of their cost basis and we believe it is more likely than

not

that we will

not

be required to sell our debt securities before recovery of the cost basis,

unrealized losses are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at

March 31, 2019,

by maturity, are shown in the following table. The contractual maturity is utilized for U.S. Government agency debt obligations and municipal bonds. Expected maturities

may

differ from contractual maturities because borrowers

may

have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities

not

due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed securities, are shown separately. Weighted average yields are also reflected, with yields for municipal securities shown at their tax equivalent yield.
