Available For Sale Securities [Abstract]

NOTE 4. Securities

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, which made changes to accounting for available for sale debt securities whereby credit losses should be presented as an allowance, rather than as a write-down when management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell prior to maturity. In addition, ASC 326 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to measure an expected credit loss under the CECL methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. All securities information presented as of March 31, 2023 is in accordance with ASC 326. All securities information presented as of December 31, 2022 or a prior date is presented in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

Amortized costs and fair values of securities available for sale at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities at March 31, 2023, by the earlier of contractual maturity or expected maturity, are shown below. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable, totaling $408 thousand at March 31, 2023, from the amortized cost basis of securities. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.


	Amortized Cost		Fair Value

Due in one year or less	$	438	$	435
Due after one year through five years		5,743		5,484

The reference point for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position is month end. As such, it is possible that a security's market value exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve-month period.

There were 104 debt securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis, totaling $147.8 million of aggregate fair value as of March 31, 2023. The Company concluded that a credit loss does not exist in its securities portfolio at March 31, 2023, and no impairment loss has been recognized based on the fact that (1) changes in fair value were caused primarily by fluctuations in interest rates, (2) securities with unrealized losses had generally high credit quality, (3) the Company intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of its investment, and (4) issuers have continued to make timely payments of principal and interest. Additionally, the Company’s mortgage-backed securities are entirely issued by either U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Collectively, these entities provide a guarantee, which is either explicitly or implicitly supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, that investors in such mortgage-backed securities will receive timely principal and interest payments.

Securities having a carrying value of $14.5 million at March 31, 2023 were pledged as security for trust accounts.

The composition of restricted investments at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was as follows:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(in thousands)
Federal Reserve Bank Stock	$	944	$	944
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock		10,218		8,149
Community Bankers’ Bank Stock		140		140
