Note 3 – Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Other comprehensive income (loss) (or “OCI”) is comprised of unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale as required by FASB ASC 320 and pension liability adjustments as required by FASB ASC 715. There was a drop in the discount rate from 5.5% to 5.25% in 2010 and from 5.25% to 5% in 2011. That drop was offset by changes in assumptions in the increase rate of compensation which decreased from 4.5% to 3% in 2010 and from 3% to 2% in 2011. The quarterly accruals for estimated annual pension liability partially offset by the unrealized gain on securities available for sale for the current quarter resulted in an OCI loss of $172,797 for the six months ended March 31, 2012. The larger quarterly accruals for estimated annual pension liability added to the unrealized loss for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and resulted in an OCI loss of $258,264 for the period.
