Unrealized losses included in the table

s above have

not

been recognized in income since they have been identified as temporary. The Company evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. Many factors are considered, including: (

) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (

)

the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (

)

whether the market decline was effected by macroeconomic conditions, and (

) whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or more likely than

not

will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an OTTI charge exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to the Company at a point in time.

The

Company attributes the unrealized losses in its investment securities portfolio to changes in market interest rates and volatility. Investment securities with unrealized losses at

September 3

2017

are performing according to their contractual terms, and the Company does

not

expect to incur a loss on these securities unless they are sold prior to maturity. The Company does

not

have the intent to sell these securities nor does it believe it is likely that it will be required to sell these securities prior to their anticipated recovery. The Company does

not

consider any of the securities to be impaired due to reasons of credit quality or other factors.
