Includes Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, recorded
 
at cost of $
3.0
 
million and $
5.1
 
million,
respectively,
 
at March 31, 2025 and at December 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the investment portfolio had $
2.3
 
million and $
2.4
 
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 $
456.1
 
million and $
489.5
 
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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. The Bank’s investment
 
in 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.
Investment Sales.
There were
no
 
sales of investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
 
Maturity Distribution
.
 
At March 31, 2025, 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 and certain amortizing U.S. government
 
agency securities are shown separately
because they are not due at a certain maturity date.

At March 31, 2025, there were
829
 
positions (combined AFS and HTM) with unrealized losses totaling $
38.3
 
million.
 
59
 
of these
positions are U.S. Treasury bonds and
 
carry the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
 
674
 
are U.S. government agency
securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities.
 
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.
 
At March 31, 2025, all collateralized
mortgage obligation securities, mortgage-backed securities, Small Business
 
Administration securities, U.S. Agency,
 
and U.S. Treasury
bonds held were AAA rated.
 
The remaining
96
 
positions (municipal securities and corporate bonds) have a credit component.
 
At
March 31, 2025, corporate debt securities had an allowance for
 
credit losses of $
73,000
 
and municipal securities had an allowance of
$
2,000
. None of the securities held by the Company were past due or in nonaccrual status at March
 
31, 2025.
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.
