10.  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

At September 30, 2012, our bank maintained a $25.4 million line of credit with the Federal Reserve discount window, of which there were no advances outstanding. As of September 30, 2012, certain commercial and commercial real estate loans totaling $43.8 million have been pledged as collateral on our line of credit with the Federal Reserve discount window. The Federal Reserve does not have the right to sell or repledge these loans. In September 2011, the bank was upgraded from the Federal Reserve’s secondary credit facility to the primary credit facility, and regained its eligibility for the Borrower-in-Custody program. As of September 30, 2012, the bank continues to have access to the primary credit facility and remains eligible for the Borrower-in-Custody program.

The bank is a member of and maintained an $869.1 million line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (the “FHLB”) as of September 30, 2012. Long-term borrowings under this arrangement totaled $36,000 at September 30, 2012, compared to $50.0 million at December 31, 2011. There were no short-term borrowings under this arrangement at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

At September 30, 2012 the bank’s pledged assets to the FHLB included investment securities with a fair value of $144.9 million and certain real estate loans totaling $1.10 billion.

On August 20, 2009, we began deferring regularly scheduled interest payments on our outstanding junior subordinated debentures relating to our trust preferred securities. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures and the trust documents allow us to defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty. During the deferral period, which currently stands at 13 consecutive quarters, the respective trusts have suspended the declaration and payment of dividends on the trust preferred securities. Also during the deferral period, we may not, among other things and with limited exceptions, pay cash dividends on or repurchase our common stock or make any payment on outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or junior to the junior subordinated debentures. During the deferral period, we will continue to accrue, and reflect in our consolidated financial statements, the deferred interest payments on our junior subordinated debentures. Accrued interest on our outstanding junior subordinated debentures relating to our trust preferred securities was $11.2 million and $8.5 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
