Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At December 31, 2015, the municipal obligations and U.S. government agency debt securities, including agency mortgage-backed securities, agency CMOs, and agency notes and bonds, in a loss position had depreciated approximately 0.6% from the amortized cost basis. All of the U.S. government agency securities and municipal securities are issued by U.S. government agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, or municipal governments, and are secured by first mortgage loans and municipal project revenues. These unrealized losses related principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government, its agencies or other governments, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. As the Company has the ability to hold the U.S. government agency debt securities and municipal securities in an unrealized loss position until maturity, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

While management does not anticipate any credit-related impairment losses at December 31, 2015, additional deterioration in market and economic conditions may have an adverse impact on the credit quality in the future.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company realized no gains or losses on the sale of securities. Securities acquired from Peoples with a fair value of $45.4 million were sold within a short period of time following the merger, resulting in no gain or loss for financial reporting purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company realized gross gains on sales of available for sale municipal obligations and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities of $98,000 and $7,000, respectively, and gross losses on the sale of municipal obligations, U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and mutual funds of $31,000, $3,000 and $17,000, respectively.

In June 2014, the Company acquired 31,750 shares of common stock in another financial institution, in addition to the 100,000 shares acquired in 2013, representing approximately 9% of the outstanding common stock of the entity, for a total investment of $711,000. The investment is accounted for using the cost method of accounting and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
