Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not considered temporary. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, 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 Company doesn’t intend to sell or expect to be required to sell these securities, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in market interest rates, therefore, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired. All mortgage-backed securities in the Company’s portfolio are guaranteed by government sponsored entities, are investment grade, and are performing as expected.

The Company’s equity securities consist of non-controlling investments in other banking organizations. When a decline in fair value below cost is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the unrealized loss must be recognized as a charge to earnings. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, none of the Company’s equity securities had an unrealized loss.

As a result of an evaluation of the Company’s equity securities portfolio as of December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a $110 pre-tax charge for an other-than-temporary decline in fair value of this portfolio. Accordingly, the other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income as part of Net Gain (Loss) on Securities during 2011.
