Distribution of Maturities of Debt Securities with the Approximate Yield of the Portfolio

The table below also reflects the distribution of maturities of debt securities held at March 31, 2014, together with the approximate taxable equivalent yield of the portfolio. The yields shown are calculated by dividing annual interest income, including the accretion of discounts and the amortization of premiums, by the amortized cost of securities outstanding at March 31, 2014. Yields on tax-exempt obligations have been computed on a taxable equivalent basis using applicable statutory tax rates.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of the amount of other than temporary impairment (OTTI) related to credit losses recognized in earnings including: (a) the beginning balance of the amount related to credit losses on debt securities held by the investor at the beginning of the period for which a portion of an OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income; (b) additions for the amount related to the credit loss for which an OTTI was not previously recognized; (c) reductions for securities sold during the period (realized); (d) reductions for securities for which the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income was recognized in earnings because the investor intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; (e) additional increases to the amount related to the credit loss for which an OTTI was previously recognized when the investor does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the investor will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; (f) reductions for increases in cash flows expected to be collected that are recognized over the remaining life of the security; and (g) the ending balance of the amount related to credit losses on debt securities held by the entity at the end of the period for which a portion of an OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income.
