Other securities.  At December 31, 2016, there were three pooled trust preferred securities with an estimated fair value of $753,000 and unrealized losses of $681,000 in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more. These unrealized losses were primarily due to the long-term nature of the pooled trust preferred securities and a reduced demand for these securities, and concerns regarding the financial institutions that issued the underlying trust preferred securities. Rules adopted by the federal banking agencies in December 2013 to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act (the “Volcker Rule”) generally prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading and from investing in, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with a hedge fund or private equity fund. All pooled trust preferred securities owned by the Company were included in a January 2014 listing of securities which the agencies considered to be grandfathered with regard to these prohibitions; as such, banking entities are permitted to retain their interest in these securities, provided the interest was acquired on or before December 10, 2013, unless acquired pursuant to a merger or acquisition.

 

The December 31, 2016, cash flow analysis for these three securities indicated it is probable the Company will receive all contracted principal and related interest projected. The cash flow analysis used in making this determination was based on anticipated default, recovery, and prepayment rates, and the resulting cash flows were discounted based on the yield anticipated at the time the securities were purchased. Other inputs include the actual collateral attributes, which include credit ratings and other performance indicators of the underlying financial institutions, including profitability, capital ratios, and asset quality. Assumptions for these three securities included annualized prepayments of 1.3 to 1.7 percent; recoveries of 31 percent on currently deferred issuers within the next two years; new deferrals of 47 to 50 basis points annually; and eventual recoveries of eight to nine percent of new deferrals. 

 

One of these three securities has continued to receive cash interest payments in full since our purchase. The second of the three securities received principal-in-kind (PIK), in lieu of cash interest, for a period of time following the recession and financial crisis which began in 2008, but resumed interest payments during fiscal 2014. The third security received PIK for a period of time following the recession and financial crisis which began in 2008, but resumed interest payments during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Our cash flow analysis indicates that interest payments are expected to continue for these three securities, and that all contracted principal and interest will be received. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2016.

 

At December 31, 2008, analysis of a fourth pooled trust preferred security indicated other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). The loss recognized at that time reduced the amortized cost basis for the security, and as of December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of the security exceeds the new, lower amortized cost basis.

 

The Company does not believe any other individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2016, represents OTTI. However, the Company could be required to recognize OTTI losses in future periods with respect to its available for sale investment securities portfolio. The amount and timing of any additional OTTI will depend on the decline in the underlying cash flows of the securities. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.
