The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase (reverse repurchase agreements).  Reverse repurchase agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the statements of financial condition.  The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements remains in the asset accounts.  Securities underlying the agreements are being held by the Bank during the agreement period.  All agreements are written on a one-month or less term.

Short-term borrowings had weighted average interest rates of 0.22% and 0.26% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Short-term borrowings averaged approximately $250.8 million and $291.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The maximum amounts outstanding at any month end were $277.7 million and $328.6 million, respectively, during those same periods.
