Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities in the above table as of June 30, 2020 have not been recognized into income as credit losses because the issuers are of high credit quality (rated AA or higher), management does not intend to sell and it is likely management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. There were no material factors impacting any one category or specific security requiring an accrual for credit loss. The issuers continue to make principal and interest payments on the bonds. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.
