Of the temporarily impaired total,

have been in a continuous loss position for

twelve

months or more. The Company has determined that these securities are temporarily impaired at

September 30, 2019

for the reasons set out below.

U.S. Government ag

encies

. The unrealized loss of

$217

on US Government agency securities stemmed from

securities with a fair value of

$71,778.

The unrealized losses were caused by interest rate and market fluctuations. The contractual terms of the investments do

not

permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of the investments. The Company is monitoring bond market trends to develop strategies to address unrealized losses. Because the Company does

not

intend to sell the investments and it is

not

likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which

may

be at maturity, the Company does

not

consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

States and political subdivisions

The unrealized loss of

$48

on state and political subdivision securities stemmed from

security with a fair value of

$591.

The unrealized loss was caused by interest rate and market fluctuations. The Company is monitoring bond market trends to develop strategies to address unrealized losses. Because the Company does

not

intend to sell the investment and it is

not

likely that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which

may

be at maturity, the Company does

not

consider the investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Restricted stock.

The Company held restricted stock of

$1,220

as of

September 30, 2019

and

December 31, 2018.

Restricted stock is reported separately from available-for-sale securities. As a member of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta, NBB is required to maintain certain minimum investments in the common stock of those entities. Required levels of investment are based upon NBB’s capital, current borrowings, and a percentage of qualifying assets. The Company purchases stock from or sells stock back to the correspondents based on their calculations. The stock is held by member institutions only and is

not

actively traded.

Redemption of FHLB stock is subject to certain limitations and conditions. At its discretion, the FHLB

may

declare dividends on the stock. In addition to dividends, NBB also benefits from its membership with FHLB through eligibility to borrow from the FHLB, using as collateral NBB’s capital stock investment in the FHLB and qualifying NBB real estate mortgage loans totaling

$526,568

September 30, 2019.

Management reviews for impairment based upon the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis of the FHLB stock, and at

September 30, 2019,

management did

not

determine any impairment.

Management regularly monitors the credit quality of the investment portfolio. Changes in ratings are noted and follow-up research on the issuer is undertaken when warranted. Management intends to carefully monitor any changes in bond quality.
