The Corporation evaluates securities for possible credit allowance on a quarterly basis, or more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, management performed an assessment for allowance for credit losses on the Corporation’s AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position and as of December 31, 2022 management performed an assessment for allowance for credit losses on the Corporation's HTM debt securities.

First an assessment was performed to determine if the Corporation intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost. Management determined it does not intend to sell and will not be required to sell any of the securities before recovery of its amortized cost. Next, management performed an evaluation relying on information obtained from various sources, including publicly available financial data, ratings by external agencies, brokers and other sources. For the securities that comprise corporate notes and bonds and the securities that are issued by state and political subdivisions, management monitors publicly available financial information, such as filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in order to evaluate the securities credit quality and ability to repay its debt obligations. For financial institution issuers, management monitors information from quarterly "call" report filings that are used to generate Uniform Bank Performance Reports. All other securities that were in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date were reviewed by management, and issuer-specific documents were reviewed as appropriate given the following considerations; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. Based on the results of the assessment, management believes the decline in fair value is not the result of credit losses. As a result no credit allowance is required as of December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021 management concluded that the securities described in the previous paragraph did not decline in fair value due to credit factors for the following reasons:

•There is no indication of any significant deterioration of the creditworthiness of the institutions that issued the securities.

•All contractual interest payments on the securities have been received as scheduled, and no information has come to management’s attention through the processes previously described which would lead to a conclusion that future contractual payments will not be timely received.

In addition, the rise in interest rates is the primary driver of the decline in fair value as of December 31, 2022.

Equity securities at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Corporate equity securities	$	6,973	$	6,715
Mutual funds	1,406		2,566
Money market	479		506
Corporate notes	757		579
Total	$	9,615	$	10,366

During the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the proceeds from sold equity securities were zero in December 31, 2022, zero in December 31, 2021 and $5.9 million in December 31, 2020, resulting in net realized gains of zero in December 31, 2022, zero in December 31, 2021, and $75 thousand in December 31, 2020.
