Allowance for Credit Losses: AFS securities, as shown in the above tables, consist of securities issued by U.S. Government Agencies, U.S. Government Sponsored Entities, State or Local Municipal Governments, or are backed by collateral that is guaranteed by the U.S. Government. We monitor the credit quality of these investments through credit ratings issued by major rating providers and through substantial price changes not consistent with general market movements. Each of the AFS securities is deemed to be investment grade, and no ACL has been established for AFS securities. Similarly, the agency and mortgage-backed securities in the HTM portfolio were determined to all be investment grade with no ACL required, at December 31, 2024 or 2023. Municipal securities within HTM include two private activity bonds issued by well-known customers of the Bank with total balances of $18,974,000 as of December 31, 2024. Corporate securities in HTM consist of 13 individual companies in the banking industry. Management reviewed the collectability of these securities taking into consideration such factors as the financial condition of the issuers, reported regulatory capital ratios of the issuers, and other performance factors. It was concluded that aggregate credit risk of the corporate securities was very low and a small ACL has been carried. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total ACL for HTM securities was $196,000 and $434,000, respectively. Changes in the ACL are recorded as credit loss expense or reduction. Losses would be charged against the allowance when management believes collection of the full contractual amount due on a security is unlikely.

At December 31, 2024, securities with a carrying value of $349,833,000 were pledged to secure credit lines from the FRBB and FHLBB, public deposits, repurchase agreements, and for other purposes as required by law. This compares to securities with a fair value of $340,623,000 as of December 31, 2023 pledged for the same purposes. Gains and losses on the sale of securities AFS 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 2024, 2023 and 2022:

The Company has the ability and intent to hold its securities which are in an unrealized loss position until a recovery of their amortized cost, which may be at maturity.

Credit Quality Indicators: Agency-backed and government-sponsored enterprise securities have a long history with no credit losses, including during times of severe stress. The principal and interest payments on agency-backed debt is guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Government-sponsored enterprises similarly guarantee principal and interest payments and carry an implicit guarantee from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Additionally, government-sponsored enterprise securities are exceptionally liquid, readily marketable, and provide a substantial amount of price transparency and price parity, indicating a perception of zero credit losses. HTM municipal debt holdings are comprised primarily of high credit quality (rated A- or higher) state and municipal obligations. High credit quality state and municipal obligations have a history of zero to near-zero credit loss. All of the mortgage-backed securities owned were issued either by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC. HTM municipal debt holdings also include two unrated private activity bonds issued by well known customers of the Bank. These securities are regularly monitored as part of an overall credit relationship with the issuers; both issuers were in good standing as of December 31, 2024. HTM corporate debt holdings consist of 13 individual companies in the banking industry. Management conducts periodic reviews of the collectability of these securities taking into consideration such factors as the financial condition of the issuers; each were in good standing as of December 31, 2024. The following table presents the activity in the ACL for HTM debt securities by major security type for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

There was no ACL on U.S. government-sponsored enterprise, agency-backed securities, or mortgage-backed securities as of December 31, 2024. A security is considered to be past due once it is 30 days contractually past due under the terms of the agreement. As of December 31, 2024, none of the Company’s HTM debt securities were past due or on non-accrual status. Re-Classified Securities: During the third quarter of 2014, the Company transferred securities with a total amortized cost of $89,780,000 and a corresponding fair value of $89,757,000 from AFS to HTM. 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 AOCI, 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 AOCI 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 AFS to HTM was $47,000, net of taxes, at December 31, 2024. This compares to $56,000, net of taxes, at December 31, 2023. These securities were transferred as a part of the Company's overall investment and balance sheet strategies. Restricted Equity Securities: The Bank is a member of the FHLBB, a cooperatively owned wholesale bank for housing and finance in the six New England States. As a requirement of membership in the FHLBB, the Bank must own a minimum required amount of FHLBB stock, calculated periodically based primarily on its level of borrowings from the FHLBB. The Bank uses the FHLBB for a portion of its wholesale funding needs. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank's investment in FHLBB stock totaled $6,166,000 and $2,348,000, respectively. FHLBB stock is a non-marketable equity security and therefore is reported at cost, which equals par value. The Bank is also a member of the FRBB. As a requirement for membership in the FRBB, the Bank must own a minimum required amount of FRBB stock. The Bank uses FRBB for certain correspondent banking services and maintains borrowing capacity at its discount window. The Bank's investment in FRBB stock totaled $1,037,000 at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company periodically evaluates its investment in FHLBB and FRBB stock for impairment based on, among other factors, the capital adequacy of each institution and their overall financial condition. No impairment losses have been recorded through December 31, 2024. The Bank will continue to monitor its investment in these restricted equity securities.
