Approximately $0.9 million of $2.2 million of the unrealized losses at June 30, 2012 pertain to private label securities secured by collateral originated in 2005 and prior. Their fair value is $44.0 million as of June 30, 2012 and is attributable to a combination of factors, including relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase and decreased liquidity for investment securities in general. The collateral underlying these mortgage investments are 30- and 15-year fixed and 10/1 adjustable rate mortgages loans with low loan to values, subordination and historically have had minimal foreclosures and losses. Based on its assessment of these factors, management believes that the unrealized losses on these debt security holdings are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. Management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

At June 30, 2012, the Company also had $1.4 million of unrealized losses on mortgage-backed securities of government sponsored entities having a fair value of $177.5 million that were attributable to a combination of factors, including relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase and decreased liquidity for investment securities in general. The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Based on its assessment of these factors, management believes that the unrealized losses on these debt security holdings are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. Management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company does not intend to sell nor is it anticipated that it would be required to sell any of its investment securities that have losses. Therefore, management does not consider any investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2012.

Included in other assets was $11.9 million at June 30, 2012 of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock stated at par value. At June 30, 2012, the Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances which may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the $11.9 million of cost method investment securities.
