The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes, amounted to $52,095,842 and $52,907,065 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Gross gains of $205,909, $320,888 and $418,990 and gross losses of $18,819, $286,725 and $199,145 resulting from sale of available-for-sale securities were realized for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The tax effect of these net gains was $69,223, $12,640 and $81,343 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any unrealized losses are deemed to be other than temporary. Certain investment securities are valued less than their historical cost. These declines are primarily the result of the rate for these investments yielding less than current market rates, or declines in stock prices of equity securities. Based on evaluation of available evidence, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. It is management’s intent to hold the debt securities to maturity or until recovery of the unrealized loss. Should the impairment of any of these debt securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified, to the extent the loss is related to credit issues, and to other comprehensive income to the extent the decline on debt securities is related to other factors and the Company does not intend to sell the security prior to recovery of the unrealized loss.

          No securities were written down for other-than-temporary impairment during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

          Certain other investments in debt and equity securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $68,123,480 and $60,733,191, respectively, which is approximately 70% of the Company’s investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from changes in market interest rates and failure of certain investments to meet projected earnings targets.

The following table shows gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
