The available-for-sale securities have a fair value of approximately $106.7 million.  Of these securities, approximately $16.0 million have unrealized losses when compared to their amortized cost.  The securities with the unrealized losses in the available-for-sale portfolio all have modest duration risk, low credit risk, and minimal losses (approximately 0.07%) when compared to total amortized cost.  The unrealized losses on debt securities that exist are the result of market changes in interest rates since original purchase.  Because the Company does not intend to sell these debt securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company considers the unrealized losses in the available-for-sale portfolio to be temporary.
