The investment portfolio is predominately high credit quality interest-bearing bonds with defined maturity dates backed by the U.S. Government or Government sponsored entities. The unrealized losses at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are price changes resulting from changes in the interest rate environment and are considered to be temporary declines in the value of the securities. Management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery. Their fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date and/or market conditions improve.
