As of June 30, 2026, the available-for-sale portfolio included 211 investments for which the fair market value was less than amortized cost. As of December 31, 2025, the available-for-sale portfolio included 165 investments for which the fair market value was less than amortized cost. Management believes that all unrealized losses have resulted from temporary changes in the interest rates and current market conditions and are not a result of credit deterioration. Management does not plan to sell, and it is not likely that the Bank will be required to sell any of the securities referenced in the table above before recovery of their amortized cost. None of the individual securities are past due as to principal or interest payments and a number of these securities have explicit or implicit payment guarantees. The remaining securities have credit ratings at or above that necessary to be considered “bank qualified.”

 

Investment securities with a carrying value of $29.8 million and $32.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

 

There were no sales of available-for-sale investment securities during the three or six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities as of June 30, 2026, by contractual maturity, are shown in the following schedule. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

 

            
   Weighted 
(Dollars in thousands)  Amortized   Fair   Average 
Securities Available-for-Sale  Cost   Value   Yield 
Due in one year or less  $3,435   $3,397    1.75%
Due after one year through five years   12,630    12,220    3.21%
Due after five years through ten years   32,935    30,697    2.90%
Due after ten years   60,589    52,296    2.73%
Total  $109,589   $98,610    2.88%

 

The Bank, as a member bank of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“Federal Reserve Bank”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB), is required to hold stock in each. The Bank also owns stock in CBB Financial Corp., which is a correspondent of the Bank. These equity securities are restricted from trading and are recorded at a cost of $2.6 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The stock has no quoted market value and no ready market exists. When evaluating these securities for impairment, their value is determined based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Equity securities are viewed as long-term investments and management believes the Company has the ability and the intent to hold these securities until their value is recovered.
