The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of
June 30, 2017
by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities
may
differ from contractual maturities of mortgage-backed securities since the mortgages underlying the securities
may
be called or prepaid with or without penalty. Therefore, these securities are
not
included in the maturity categories along with the other categories of debt securities.

All mortgage-backed securities are with government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) such as Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Bank, and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
 
The following table identifies, as of
June 30, 2017
and
December 31, 2016,
the Company’s investment securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than
12
months and those that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for
12
or more months. At
June 30, 2017,
nine
of the Company’s
813
debt securities had been in an unrealized loss position for
12
or more months. The Company does
not
intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than
not
that the Company will
not
be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost, which
may
be maturity; accordingly, the Company does
not
consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at
June 30, 2017.
Further, the Company believes any deterioration in value of its current investment securities is attributable to changes in market interest rates and
not
credit quality of the issuer.
