No securities were sold in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013. One security was sold in the first quarter of 2012 and none in 2012’s second or third quarters. The sale decision was made by management because the security no longer complied with the Bank’s internal investment policy. Proceeds from the sale were $257,997 resulting in a realized gain of $2,856. In the first nine months of 2013, there were no transfers out of accumulated other comprehensive income for security sales.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (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, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI will be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI will be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

At September 30, 2013, all of the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. At September 30, 2013, 16 debt securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 1.99% from the amortized cost basis; fourteen of the 16 securities had unrealized losses less than twelve months and two had unrealized losses longer than twelve months. Furthermore, five of the 16 securities are issued by government agencies and 11 are issued by a government-sponsored entity. It is likely that these debt securities will be retained given the fact that they are pledged to various public funds. The aggregate depreciation of 1.99% of amortized cost is not material however; there has been a marked decline in value since year-end 2012. The decrease was $495,000. Even so, the change appears to be market driven and attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2013.
