At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investment portfolio had $ 1.9 million and $ 0.01 million, respectively in equity securities. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value and were not credit impaired. Securities with an amortized cost of $ 660.1 million and $ 656.1 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes. The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), is required to own capital stock in the FHLB based generally upon the balances of residential and commercial real estate loans and FHLB advances. FHLB stock, which is included in other securities, is pledged to secure FHLB advances. No ready market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted fair value; however, redemption of this stock has historically been at par value. As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Bank is required to maintain stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta based on a specified ratio relative to the Bank’s capital. Federal Reserve Bank stock is carried at cost. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company transferred certain securities from the AFS to HTM classification. Transfers are made at fair value on the date of the transfer. The 33 securities had an amortized cost basis and fair value of $ 168.4 million and $ 159.0 million, respectively at the time of transfer. The net unamortized, unrealized loss on the transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying statement of financial condition at March 31, 2023 totaled $ 7.1 million. This amount will continue to be amortized out of accumulated other comprehensive loss over the remaining life of the underlying securities as an adjustment of the yield on those securities. Investment Sales. There were no significant sales of investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $ 3.4 million in sales of investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Maturity Distribution . At March 31, 2023, the Company’s investment securities had the following maturity distribution based on contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and certain amortizing U.S. government agency securities are shown separately because they are not due at a certain maturity date.

We believe the long history of no credit losses on government securities indicates that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is effectively zero. The remaining 125 positions (municipal securities and corporate bonds) have a credit component. At March 31, 2023, all collateralized mortgage obligation securities (“CMO”), MBS, Small Business Administration securities (“SBA”), U.S. Agency, and U.S. Treasury bonds held were AAA rated. At March 31, 2023, corporate debt securities had an allowance for credit losses of $ 28,000 and municipal securities had an allowance of $ 8,000 . Credit Quality Indicators The Company monitors the credit quality of its investment securities through various risk management procedures, including the monitoring of credit ratings. A majority of the debt securities in the Company’s investment portfolio were issued by a U.S. government entity or agency and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. The Company believes the long history of no credit losses on these securities indicates that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is effectively zero, even if the U.S. government were to technically default. Further, certain municipal securities held by the Company have been pre-refunded and secured by government guaranteed treasuries. Therefore, for the aforementioned securities, the Company does no t assess or record expected credit losses due to the zero loss assumption. The Company monitors the credit quality of its municipal and corporate securities portfolio via credit ratings which are updated on a quarterly basis. On a quarterly basis, municipal and corporate securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated to determine if the loss is attributable to credit related factors and if an allowance for credit loss is needed.
