Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. At March 31, 2019, 190 securities available for sale with fair values totaling $153.9 million had unrealized losses totaling $1.7 million.  At March 31, 2019, 6 securities held to maturity with fair values totaling $4.7 million had unrealized losses totaling $75,000.  Management has the intent and ability to hold the securities classified as held to maturity until they mature, at which time the Company will receive full value for the securities.  In addition, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any if its investment securities before a recovery of cost.  Management determined that the unrealized losses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were attributable to changes in interest rates and not due to credit quality.  As such, no OTTI charges were necessary during each period.

Securities with a carrying value of approximately $1.0 million were pledged as security for public deposits, letters of credit and for other purposes required or permitted by law at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
