Investment securities with a carrying amount of approximately $10.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively, were pledged to secure deposits as required or permitted by law at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Securities are classified according to their contractual maturities without consideration of principal amortization, potential prepayments, or call options. The expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because of the exercise of call options and potential paydowns. Accordingly, actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities. Information pertaining to securities with gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | December 31, 2021 | | | Less than 12 Months | | 12 Months or Greater | | Total | (Dollars in thousands) | | Fair Value | | Gross Unrealized Losses | | Fair Value | | Gross Unrealized Losses | | Fair Value | | Gross Unrealized Losses | Securities available-for-sale | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mortgage-backed securities | | $ | 68,412 | | $ | (746) | | $ | 1,889 | | $ | (52) | | $ | 70,301 | | $ | (798) | U.S. Government and agency obligations | | | 5,697 | | | (24) | | | 1,913 | | | (87) | | | 7,610 | | | (111) | Municipal obligations | | | 3,283 | | | (24) | | | 1,156 | | | (19) | | | 4,439 | | | (43) | Total available-for-sale | | $ | 77,392 | | $ | (794) | | $ | 4,958 | | $ | (158) | | $ | 82,350 | | $ | (952) | Securities held-to-maturity | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | U.S. Government and agency obligations | | $ | 1,940 | | $ | (61) | | $ | 7,685 | | $ | (314) | | $ | 9,625 | | $ | (375) | Municipal obligations | | | - | | | - | | | - | | | - | | | - | | | - | Total held-to-maturity | | $ | 1,940 | | $ | (61) | | $ | 7,685 | | $ | (314) | | $ | 9,625 | | $ | (375) | Total | | $ | 79,332 | | $ | (855) | | $ | 12,643 | | $ | (472) | | $ | 91,975 | | $ | (1,327) |

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which that fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. At December 31, 2021, there were 67 securities with an unrealized loss, compared to 8 securities with an unrealized loss at December 31, 2020. All of those securities were either guaranteed by federal, state and local governments or secured by mortgage loans. These unrealized losses relate principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government, its agencies, or other governments, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. As management has the intent and ability to hold securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale, no declines were deemed to be other-than-temporary.
