The Company owned Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock reported at cost of $959,000 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company owned Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock reported at cost of $866,000 and $819,000 at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The investments in FRB stock and FHLB stock are required investments related to the Company’s membership in, and borrowings with, these banks and are classified as restricted stock in the consolidated balance sheets. These investments are carried at cost since there is no ready market and redemption has historically been made at par value. The Company estimated that the fair value approximated cost and that these investments were not impaired at June 30, 2026.

There is no allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities. The following table shows a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on held to maturity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

On a quarterly basis, the Company monitors the credit quality of the debt securities held to maturity through the use of credit ratings. For unrated securities, primarily corporate bonds consisting of subordinated debt of bank holding companies, individual financial reports are reviewed quarterly. Capital, profitability, liquidity and other ratios are reviewed to assist in determining credit quality.

The following table summarizes the credit ratings of debt securities held to maturity, presented at amortized cost, by major security type at June 30, 2026.

Declines in the fair value of the available for sale investment portfolio are believed by management to be temporary in nature. When evaluating an investment for credit loss, management considers, among other things, the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been in a loss position; the financial condition of the issuer through the review of credit ratings and, if necessary, corporate financial statements; adverse conditions specifically related to the security such as past due principal or interest; underlying assets that collateralize the debt security; other economic conditions and demographics; and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the investment until the loss position is recovered. Any unrealized losses were largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time of purchase. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. At June 30, 2026, the Company did not intend to sell, and believed it was not likely to be required to sell, the available for sale securities that were in a loss position prior to full recovery.

The following tables show contractual maturities of the investment portfolio as of June 30, 2026:

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company participated in Visa Inc.’s exchange offer for holders of Visa Class B-1 common stock. The Company exchanged 2,202 shares of Visa Class B-1 common stock for 550 shares of Visa Class B-3 common stock and 633 shares of Visa Class C common stock. In connection with the exchange, the Company received cash in lieu of fractional shares totaling less than $1,000.

The exchanged Visa Class B-1 common stock had no carrying value. The Visa Class B-3 common stock received in the exchange represents a continuation of the Company’s restricted ownership interest and, therefore, no carrying value was assigned to the Class B-3 shares received. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of $827,000, which includes the fair value of the Visa Class C common stock received of approximately $826,000 and cash received in lieu of fractional shares. The gain is reflected in realized/unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities in the consolidated statements of income. Following the exchange, the Company’s investment in Visa Class C common stock is carried at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. During the quarter, the Company sold 211 shares of Visa Class C common stock received in the exchange. At June 30, 2026, the Company held 422 shares of Visa Class C common stock.

The portion of unrealized gains and losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 related to equity securities still held at the reporting date is calculated as follows:
