Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to
(1)
 the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost,
(2)
 the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and
(3)
 the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At
December

2016,
thirteen
out of
twenty
-
six
mortgage-backed securities,
thirty
-
three
out of
forty
-
four
municipal securities,
two
out of
twenty
other asset-backed securities, and our only U.S. Government agency obligation was in a loss position. At
December
31,
2015,
fifteen
out of
twenty
-
six
mortgage-backed securities and
four
out of
forty
-
four
municipal securities were in a loss position. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. Because the Company had the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, no declines were deemed to be other-than-temporary as of
December
31,
2016
and
2015.
 
During
2016,
the Company sold
one
debt security for proceeds of
$1,495,000
and realized a gross gain of
$365.
During
2015,
the Company did not sell any investment securities. During
2014,
the Company sold investment securities for proceeds of
$35,377,000
and realized a gross loss of
$33,000
on those sales.
 
At
December
31,
2016
and
2015,
securities with a carrying value of approximately
$73,035,000
and
$58,780,000,
respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits as required by law and for other purposes.
