Federal Home Loan Bank Stock	NOTE 8. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock The Banks are required to maintain an investment in the stock of the FHLB of Seattle in an amount equal to the greater of $500,000 or 0.50% of residential mortgage loans and pass-through securities or an advance requirement to be confirmed on the date of the advance and 5.0% of the outstanding balance of mortgage loans sold to the FHLB of Seattle. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company was required to maintain an investment in the stock of FHLB of Seattle of at least $1.2 million. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had an investment in FHLB stock carried at a cost basis (par value) of $5.5 million. The Company evaluated its investment in FHLB of Seattle stock for other-than-temporary impairment, consistent with its accounting policy. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the underlying investment, including the long-term nature of the investment, the liquidity position of the FHLB of Seattle, the actions being taken by the FHLB of Seattle to address its regulatory situation and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the par value, the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary impairment loss on its FHLB of Seattle stock. Further, during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“Finance Agency”) granted the FHLB of Seattle authority to repurchase up to $25 million of excess capital stock per quarter at par ($100 per share), provided they receive a non-objection for each quarter’s repurchase from the Finance Agency. Even though the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary impairment loss on its FHLB of Seattle stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or September 30, 2011, further deterioration in the FHLB of Seattle’s financial position may result in future impairment losses.
