The Company determines whether unrealized losses are temporary in nature in accordance with FASB ASC 320-10, Investments - Overall, (“FASB ASC 320-10”) and FASB ASC 325-40, Investments – Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, when applicable. The evaluation is based upon factors such as the creditworthiness of the underlying borrowers, performance of the underlying collateral, if applicable, and the level of credit support in the security structure. Management also evaluates other factors and circumstances that may be indicative of an OTTI condition. This includes, but is not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and near-term prospects of the issuer.

FASB ASC 320-10 requires the Company to assess if an OTTI exists by considering whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery. If either of these situations applies, the guidance requires the Company to record an OTTI charge to earnings on debt securities for the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the fair value of the security. If neither of these situations applies, the Company is required to assess whether it is expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. If the Company is not expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, the guidance requires the Company to bifurcate the identified OTTI into a credit loss component and a component representing loss related to other factors. A discount rate is applied which equals the effective yield of the security. The difference between the present value of the expected flows and the amortized book value is considered a credit loss, which would be recorded through earnings as an OTTI charge. When a market price is not readily available, the market value of the security is determined using the same expected cash flows; the discount rate is a rate the Company determines from the open market and other sources as appropriate for the security. The difference between the market value and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no cumulative OTTI. There were no OTTI charges recognized in earnings as a result of credit losses on investments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, unrealized losses were substantially higher due to market uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The sudden and desperate need for liquidity from many institutional pools of capital combined with the global economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant widening of spreads.

States and Political Subdivisions. The unrealized losses presented in the table above have been caused by a widening of spreads from the time these securities were purchased. Management considers the investment rating, the state of the issuer of the security and other credit support in determining whether the security is OTTI. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these securities to be OTTI at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

GSE Residential CMOs. The unrealized losses presented in the table above have been caused by a widening of spreads from the time these securities were purchased. The contractual terms of these securities do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than its par value basis. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these securities to be OTTI at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Non-agency CMOs. The unrealized losses presented in the table above have been caused by a widening of spreads from the time the securities were purchased. Management considers the investment rating and other credit support in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. As of June 30, 2020, management concluded that an OTTI did not exist on any of the aforementioned securities based upon its assessment. Management also concluded that it does not intend to sell nor will it be required to sell the securities, before their recovery, which may be maturity, and management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

Private Label Commercial CMOs and Asset-backed. The unrealized losses presented in the table above have been caused by a widening of spreads from the time the securities were purchased. Management considers the investment rating and other credit support in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these securities to be OTTI at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
