At June 30, 2020, securities with a fair value of $245,917,000 were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, and for other purposes as required by law. This compares to securities with a fair value of $214,173,000 as of December 31, 2019 and $190,725,000 at June 30, 2019, pledged for the same purposes.
Gains and losses on the sale of securities are computed by subtracting the amortized cost at the time of sale from the security's selling price, net of accrued interest to be received. The following table shows securities gains and losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Sales include 28 municipal securities sold in the second quarter of 2020 that had been designated as Held to Maturity. Proceeds from these sales totaled $8,600,000 against a cumulative book value of $8,313,000 resulting in a net realized gain of $268,000. The economic potential impact of COVID-19 is considered to be an isolated and unusual event that could not be reasonably anticipated as outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 320-10-25. Management conducted a review of its municipal bond portfolio in conjunction with risk mitigation efforts related to the onset of the COVID-19 virus; the intent of the review was to identify investment exposures with lower relative credit ratings, locales with perceived above average economic risk, municipal entities with reliance upon sales tax or income tax revenue, or any combination of these factors. Each of the sold positions met one or more of the criteria.
Management reviews securities with unrealized losses for other than temporary impairment. As of June 30, 2020, there were 52 securities with unrealized losses held in the Company's portfolio. These securities were temporarily impaired as a result of changes in interest rates reducing their fair value, of which 11 had been temporarily impaired for 12 months or more. The Company has the ability and intent to hold its impaired securities until a recovery of their amortized cost, which may be at maturity.

As of June 30, 2019, there were 133 securities with unrealized losses held in the Company's portfolio. These securities were temporarily impaired as a result of changes in interest rates reducing their fair value, of which 127 had been temporarily impaired for 12 months or more. In the first quarter of 2019, one issuer of securities held in the portfolio was downgraded by a rating agency to less than investment grade. These securities totaled approximately 0.06% of overall state and municipal security holdings and were subsequently sold during the third quarter 2019.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company transferred securities with a total amortized cost of $89,780,000 with a corresponding fair value of $89,757,000 from available for sale to held to maturity. The net unrealized loss, net of taxes, on these securities at the date of the transfer was $15,000. The net unrealized holding loss at the time of transfer continues to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and is amortized over the remaining lives of the
securities as an adjustment of the yield. The amortization of the net unrealized loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will offset the effect on interest income of the discount for the transferred securities. The remaining unamortized balance of the net unrealized losses for the securities transferred from available for sale to held to maturity was $146,000, net of tax, at June 30, 2020. This compares to $182,000 and $190,000, net of taxes, at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively. These securities were transferred as a part of the Company's overall investment and balance sheet strategies.
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Boston, a cooperatively owned wholesale bank for housing and finance in the six New England States. As a requirement of membership in the FHLB, the Bank must own a minimum required amount of FHLB stock, calculated periodically based primarily on its level of borrowings from the FHLB. The Bank uses the FHLB for a portion of its wholesale funding needs. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and December 31, 2019, the Bank's investment in FHLB stock totaled $9,508,000, $7,945,000 and $7,945,000, respectively. FHLB stock is a non-marketable equity security and therefore is reported at cost, which equals par value. The Company periodically evaluates its investment in FHLB stock for impairment based on, among other factors, the capital adequacy of the FHLB and its overall financial condition. No impairment losses have been recorded through June 30, 2020. The Company will continue to monitor its investment in FHLB stock.
