At June 30, 2024, there were
856
 
positions (combined AFS and HTM) with unrealized losses totaling $
62.0
 
million.
 
82
 
of these
positions are U.S. Treasury bonds and
 
carry the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
 
673
 
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 June 30, 2024, 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
101
 
positions (municipal securities and corporate bonds) have a credit component.
 
At
June 30, 2024, corporate debt securities had an allowance for credit losses of
 
$
135,000
 
and municipal securities had an allowance of
$
5,000
.
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.
