For the securities in the previous table, the Company does not have the intent to sell and has determined it is
 
not more likely
than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery
 
of the amortized cost basis, which may be
maturity.
 
On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses each security for credit impairment.
 
For debt securities, the Company
evaluates, where necessary,
 
whether credit impairment exists by comparing the present value of the expected
 
cash flows to
the securities’ amortized cost basis.
In determining whether a loss is temporary,
 
the Company considers all relevant information including:
the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized
 
cost basis;
adverse conditions specifically related to the security,
 
an industry, or a geographic area
 
(for example, changes in
the financial condition of the issuer of the security,
 
or in the case of an asset-backed debt security,
 
in the financial
condition of the underlying loan obligors, including changes in technology or the discontinuance of
 
a segment of
the business that may affect the future earnings potential of the issuer or
 
underlying loan obligors of the security or
changes in the quality of the credit enhancement);
the historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;
the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to
 
make payments that
increase in the future;
failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments;
any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and
recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.
Agency obligations
The unrealized losses associated with agency obligations were primarily driven by
 
increases in market interest rates and not
due to the credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued by U.S. government
 
agencies or government-
sponsored entities and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government guarantee
 
or other government support.
 
Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”)
The unrealized losses associated with agency MBS were primarily driven by increases
 
in market interest rates and not due
to the credit quality of the securities. These securities were issued by U.S. government agencies
 
or government-sponsored
entities and did not have any credit losses given the explicit government guarantee
 
or other government support.
 
Securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions
The unrealized losses associated with securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions
 
were primarily driven by increases
in market interest rates and were not due to the credit quality of the securities. Some of these
 
securities are guaranteed by a
bond insurer, but management did not rely on the guarantee
 
in making its investment decision.
 
These securities will
continue to be monitored as part of the Company’s
 
quarterly impairment analysis, but are expected to perform even if the
rating agencies reduce the credit rating of the bond insurers. As a result, the Company expects to
 
recover the entire
amortized cost basis of these securities.
The carrying values of the Company’s investment
 
securities could decline in the future if market interest rates continue to
increase.
 
If the financial condition of an issuer (other than the U.S. government or
 
its agencies) deteriorates and the
Company determines it is probable that it will not recover the entire amortized cost
 
basis for the security,
 
there is a risk that
other-than-temporary impairment charges
 
may occur in the future.
Other-Than-Temporarily
 
Impaired Securities
Credit-impaired debt securities are debt securities where the Company
 
has written down the amortized cost basis of a
security for other-than-temporary impairment and the credit component of the loss is recognized
 
in earnings. At March 31,
2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no credit-impaired debt securities and there
 
were no additions or
reductions in the credit loss component of credit-impaired debt securities during the quarters
 
ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, respectively.
Realized Gains and Losses
 
The Company had no realized gains and losses on sale of securities during the first quarters ended
 
March 31, 2022 and
2021, respectively.
