Available for sale securities (“AFS”), which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity. All securities have been classified as available for sale.

Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted as adjustments to income over the estimated life of the security using the level yield method or to the earlier of call or maturity date. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities is based on the specific identification method. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

For AFS securities with fair value less than amortized cost that management has no intent to sell and believes that it more likely than not will not be required to sell prior to recovery, only the credit loss component of the impairment is recognized in earnings, while the noncredit loss is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security as projected based on cash flow projections, and is recorded to the allowance for credit losses (ACL) on investments, by a charge to provision for credit losses.

Accrued interest receivable

is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Both the ACL and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if the Company intends to sell an impaired AFS security, or, if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount would be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis. Because the security’s amortized cost basis is adjusted to fair value, there would be no ACL in this situation.

At adoption of ASU

2016-13,

no impairment on AFS securities was attributable to credit. The Company will evaluate impaired AFS securities at the individual level on a quarterly basis, and will consider such factors including, but not limited to: the extent to which the fair value of the security is less than the amortized cost basis; adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or geographic area; the payment structure of the security and likelihood of the issuer to be able to make payments that may increase in the future; failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments; any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. A qualitative determination as to whether any portion of the impairment is attributable to credit risk is acceptable. There were no credit related factors underlying unrealized losses on AFS securities at December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024.

Changes in the ACL are recorded as expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

The Company did not hold securities of any one issuer at December 31, 2024 with a book value that exceeded 10% of the Company’s total equity except for Mortgage-backed GSE residential securities and Small Business Administration securities with a book value of approximately $188,708,000 and $15,720,000, respectively, and a market value of approximately $162,835,000 and $13,537,000, respectively, at December 31, 2024.

All mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 were issued by GSEs.

The amortized cost and fair value of

available-for-sale

securities at December 31, 2024, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.


	Available-for-sale Securities
	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Within one year	$	3,034	$	3,025
One to five years		3,910		3,613
Five to ten years		6,259		5,766
After ten years		9,282		7,651

The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes was $71,977,000 and $118,577,000 as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

The carrying value of securities sold under agreement to repurchase amounted to $18.4 million at December 31, 2024 and $17.8 million at June 30, 2024. At December 31, 2024, all $18.4 million of our repurchase agreements had an overnight maturity, and all were secured by U.S. Government, federal agency and GSE securities. The right of offset for a repurchase agreement resembles a secured borrowing, whereby the collateral pledged by the Company would be used to settle the fair value of the repurchase agreement should the Company be in default. The collateral is held by the Company in a segregated custodial account. In the event the collateral fair value falls below stipulated levels, the Company will pledge additional securities. The Company closely monitors collateral levels to ensure adequate levels are maintained.

Gross gains of $30,000 and $0 and gross losses of $101,000 and $0 resulting from sales of

available-for-sale

securities were realized for the six months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Tax credit applicable to these net realized losses was $20,000 and $0, respectively.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, was $181,142,000 and $185,652,000, respectively, which is approximately 99% and 97% of the Company’s

available-for-sale

investment portfolio. These declines in fair value at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, resulted from increases in market interest rates and are considered temporary.

The following table shows the Company’s gross unrealized investment losses and the fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024:

securities portfolio consisted of 174 securities, of which 172 were in an unrealized loss position.
