The book value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes, amounted to $53,491,063 and $59,005,655 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The approximate fair value of pledged securities amounted to $55,094,275 and $60,222,048 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Realized gains and losses are recorded as net securities gains.  Gains on sales of securities are determined on the specific identification method.  Gross gains of $137,715 and $198,146 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, were realized from the sale of available-for-sale securities.  The tax effect of these net gains was $50,955 and $73,314 as of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any unrealized losses are deemed to be other than temporary.  Certain investment securities are valued at less than their historical cost. These declines are primarily the result of the rate for these investments yielding less than current market rates, or declines in stock prices of equity securities. Based on evaluation of available evidence, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. It is management’s intent to hold the debt securities to maturity or until recovery of the unrealized loss. Should the impairment of any of these debt securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified, to the extent the loss is related to credit issues, and to other comprehensive income to the extent the decline on debt securities is related to other factors and the Company does not intend to sell the security prior to recovery of the unrealized loss.

                Certain other investments in debt and equity securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost.  Total fair value of these investments at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, was $6,459,225 and $29,766,876, respectively, which is approximately 7% and 37% of the Company’s investment portfolio.  These declines primarily resulted from changes in market interest rates and failure of certain investments to meet projected earnings targets.

The following tables show gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
