INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Bank utilizes mortgage-backed and other investment securities in its asset/liability management strategy. In making investment decisions, the Bank considers, among other things, its yield and interest rate objectives, its interest rate and credit risk position, and its liquidity and cash flow.

Generally, the investment policy of the Bank is to invest funds among categories of investments and maturities based upon the Bank’s asset/liability management policies, investment quality, loan and deposit volume and collateral requirements, liquidity needs and performance objectives. GAAP requires that securities be classified into three categories: trading, held-to-maturity, and available-for-sale. At June 30, 2019, $78.4 million, or 87.8%, of the Bank’s total securities were classified as available-for-sale, and $10.9 million, or 12.2%, were classified as held-to-maturity. The Bank had no securities classified as trading at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.

Equity securities primarily consist of the Bank's investment in a Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") mutual fund and other equity investments. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 in April 2018, the Company determined that these investments fall under the provisions of ASU 2016-01, and accordingly, were transferred from available-for-sale and reclassified into equity securities on the Statement of Financial Condition. These securities are measured at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reflected in net income. Effective April 1, 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $721 thousand as a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings. Additionally, all subsequent changes in fair value have been recognized in the Statements of Operations. The Bank redeemed its $9.2 million investment in the CRA mutual fund during the third quarter of fiscal year 2019. Other investments totaled $455 thousand at June 30, 2019 and are included in Other Assets on the Statement sof Financial Condition.

A total of 27 securities had an unrealized loss at June 30, 2019 compared to 35 at March 31, 2019. U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities represented 50.9% and 43.7%, respectively, of total available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2019. There were 17 mortgage-backed securities, three corporate bonds, and two U.S. government agency security, that had an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months at June 30, 2019. Given the high credit quality of the securities which are backed by the U.S. government's guarantees, and the corporate securities which are all reputable institutions in good financial standing, the risk of credit loss is minimal. Management believes that these unrealized losses are a direct result of the current rate environment and has the ability and intent to hold the securities until maturity or until the valuation recovers.

The amount of an other-than-temporary impairment when there are credit and non-credit losses on a debt security which management does not intend to sell, and for which it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security prior to the recovery of the non-credit impairment is accounted for as follows: (1) the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and (2) the remaining difference between the debt security's amortized cost basis and its fair value would be included in other comprehensive income (loss). The Bank did not have any other securities that were classified as having other-than-temporary impairment in its investment portfolio at June 30, 2019.

The following is a summary of the amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2019, by remaining period to contractual maturity (ignoring earlier call dates, if any). Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain security issuers have the right to call or prepay their obligations. The table below does not consider the effects of possible prepayments or unscheduled repayments.
