In 2019, one federal agency debt security with total amount of $2.0 million matured. The Bank did not replace this matured security during 2019.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no securities pledged to secure public deposits since those public deposits are under $250 thousand which are fully insured by FDIC. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no holdings of securities by any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders' equity.

The Bank held 24 securities with unrealized gains and no securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2019, compared to no securities with unrealized gains and ten securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2018. Securities in unrealized loss positions are analyzed as part of our ongoing assessment of other-than-temporary impairment. Consideration is given to the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost, and our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. All the Bank's securities were issued by the federal government or its agencies.
