At September
30, 2026, there
were
848
positions (combined
AFS and HTM) with unrealized
pre-tax losses totaling
$
52.3
million.
91
of these positions
are U.S. Treasury
bonds and carry
the full faith and
credit of the U.S. Government.
688
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 September 30, 2026,
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
69
positions (municipal securities
and corporate
bonds) have
a credit component.
At
September 30,
2026, corporate
debt securities had
an
allowance for
credit losses of $
49,000
.
No
ne of the securities held by
the
Company
were past due or in nonaccrual
status
at
September 30,
2026.
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 rating
s
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.
