Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and may do so 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, (3) the intent of Financial, if any, to sell the security; (4) whether Financial more likely than not will be

Note 7 – Securities (continued)

required to sell the security before recovering its cost; and (5) whether Financial does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if Financial does not intend to sell the security).

At September 30, 2019, the Company did not consider the unrealized losses as other-than-temporary losses due to the nature of the securities involved. As of September 30, 2019, the Bank owned 25 securities in an unrealized loss position that were being evaluated for other than temporary impairment. Two of these securities were S&P rated AAA, 22 were rated AA, and one was rated BBB+. As of September 30, 2019, 21 of these securities were direct obligations of the U.S. government or government sponsored entities, two were municipal issues, and two were investments in domestic corporate issued securities.

Based on the analysis performed by management as mandated by the Bank’s investment policy, management believes the default risk to be minimal. Because management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to change in interest rates and other market conditions, no declines currently are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

Gross gains on sales of available-for-sale securities were $291 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $0 during the same periods in 2018. There were no gross losses on sales of available-for-sale securities during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. There were no sales of held-to-maturity securities during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
