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 recover in fair value.

At September 30, 2020, the U.S. government agency debt securities, including agency notes and bonds, mortgage-backed securities and CMO, and municipal obligations in a loss position had depreciated approximately 0.6% from the amortized cost basis. All of the U.S. government agency securities and municipal obligations are issued by U.S. government agencies, government-sponsored enterprises and municipal governments, or 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 debt securities until maturity, or the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

While management does not anticipate any credit-related impairment losses at September 30, 2020, additional deterioration in market and economic conditions may have an adverse impact on credit quality in the future.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company realized gross gains of $22,000 and gross losses of $55,000 on sales of available for securities and gross losses of $2,000 on sales of time deposits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company realized gross gains of $22,000 and gross losses of $141,000 on sales of available for sale securities and gross losses of $13,000 on sales of time deposits. There were no sales of investment securities or time deposits during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Certain available for sale debt securities were pledged to secure public fund deposits at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Equity Securities

In September 2018, the Company acquired 90,000 shares of common stock in another bank holding company, representing approximately 5% of the outstanding common stock of the entity, for a total investment of $1.9 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $45,000 and an unrealized loss of $126,000, respectively, on this equity investment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $9,000 and an unrealized gain of $108,000, respectively, on this equity investment. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the equity investment had a fair value of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
