For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses of $1.0 million resulting from other-than-temporary declines in value for 41 of the 329 investments. The OTTI losses are included in net gains (losses) on investment securities, a component of noninterest income. For the remaining 288 investments at December 31, 2011, we concluded that declines in value, if any, were temporary and as such, no OTTI was required to be recognized. At December 31, 2011, the carrying value of these venture capital and private equity fund investments (cost method accounting) was $145.0 million, and the estimated fair value was $163.7 million.
