Park’s U.S. Government sponsored entities' asset-backed securities consisted of 15-year mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). At December 31, 2013, the amortized cost of Park’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities was $340.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2013, the amortized cost of Park's available-for-sale and held-to-maturity CMOs was $310.0 million and $181.7 million, respectively.

Other investment securities (as shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) consist of stock investments in the FHLB and the FRB. These restricted stock investments are carried at their redemption value. Park owned $59.0 million of FHLB stock and $6.9 million of FRB stock at both December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012 represented an other-than-temporary impairment. The unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily the result of interest rate changes. These conditions will not prohibit Park from receiving its contractual principal and interest payments on these debt securities. The fair value of these debt securities is expected to recover as payments are received on these securities and they approach maturity. Should the impairment of any of these 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.

The following table provides detail on investment securities with unrealized losses aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual securities had been in a continuous loss position at December 31, 2013:
