Risks and Uncertainties. Global markets have calmed somewhat after experiencing heightened volatility amidst an escalation of trade disputes, and the continuing impacts of ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, as well as other conflicts globally. All have the potential to reignite leading to economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability. Domestically, a budget package which featured spending reforms and renewal of 2017 tax cuts, that had been scheduled to sunset, has been met favorably by markets, further lessening volatility. The future economic outlook continues to be clouded pending the outcome of threatened tariffs amidst trade negotiations. The FOMC has cited the potential for tariff induced rekindling of inflation in keeping interest rates unchanged year-to-date. Any or all of the foregoing could ultimately have negative downstream effects on the Company's operating results, the extent of which is indeterminable at this time.
Previous report
During the first six months of 2025, total deposits decreased by $19.9 million or 0.7% from December 31, 2024 levels. The Bank generally experiences a modest decline in deposit balances in the first six months of each year due to seasonal effects. In the first six months of 2025 low-cost deposits (demand, NOW, and savings accounts) decreased by $95.5 million or 7.7% . Money market deposits increased $11.6 million or 3.1%, and certificates of deposit increased $64.0 million or 5.7% as depositors shifted balances to higher cost product types and brokered certificates of deposit were issued to support earning asset growth. The decrease in low-cost deposits for the period was consistent with Management's estimates based upon historical seasonal deposit behaviors.

Fair Value of Securities. Determining a market price for securities carried at fair value is a critical accounting estimate in the Company's financial statements. Pricing of individual securities is subject to a number of factors including changes in market interest rates, changes in prepayment speeds and assumptions, changes in market tolerance for risk, and any changes in the risk profile of the security. The Company subscribes to a widely recognized, independent pricing service and updates carrying values no less frequently than monthly. It also validates the values provided by the pricing service no less frequently than quarterly by measuring against security prices provided by a secondary source. Results of the validation are reported to the ALCO each quarter and any variances between the two sources above defined thresholds are investigated by management. A finding that the Company's methodology for valuation of its investment securities is materially incorrect could result in changes to the carrying value of securities on its balance sheet and corresponding changes in shareholders equity position. As of June 30, 2025 the fair value of AFS securities increased by $3.6 million and the fair value of HTM securities decreased by $2.5 million from that of December 31, 2024. The increase in the fair value of AFS securities is attributable to a combination of rate-driven market price adjustments for the underlying securities and new purchases. The decrease in the fair value of HTM securities in attributable to reinvestment of incoming cash flow to other segments of the balance sheet. Further discussion of the fair value of securities may be found in Note 2, "Investment Securities", to the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of the Form 10-Q.

The carrying value of the Company's investment portfolio increased by $2.3 million between December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 from $651.6 million to $653.9 million.

Of this total, securities with a fair value of $74.8 million or 28.7% of the mortgage-backed portfolio were issued by GNMA and securities with a fair value of $185.7 million or 71.3% of the mortgage-backed portfolio were issued by FHLMC and FNMA.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company transferred securities with a total amortized cost of $89,780,000 and a corresponding fair value of $89,757,000 from AFS to HTM. The net unrealized loss, net of taxes, on these securities at the date of the transfer was $15,000.
