In determining the fair value of Level 3 instruments on a recurring basis the Company takes into consideration several variables, including but not limited to expectations about interest rate movements, prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgages for mortgage backed securities, expected default rates, and credit spreads over the risk free rate.  Of these variables, default rates and credit spreads are perhaps the least observable and most impactful on the long-term value of a Level 3 security.  Since a bond’s value is represented by its yield which reflects the risk-free yield curve plus compensation for various risks incurred in buying the bond, changes to the risk assumptions including probability of default and timing of future cash flows can materially impact the market value.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no Level 3 instruments.

There were no changes in the balance sheet carrying value associated with recurring Level 3 financial instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The following table provides a summary of the changes in balance sheet carrying values associated with recurring Level 3 financial instruments:

						Purchases,
	Beginning		Gain / (Loss)			Issuances, and		Sales and			Transfers to / (from)		Ending
(dollar amounts in thousands)	Balance		Included in OCI (1)			Settlements		Maturities			Level III		Balance
For the three months ended
March 31, 2012
Obligations of state and municipal securities	$	259	$	1		$	-	$	-		$	-	$	260
Agency mortgage backed securities	-		(191		)	4,674		-			-		4,483
Non-agency mortgage backed securities	3,074		-			-		(3,074		)	-		-

(1) Realized or unrealized gains from the changes in values of Level 3 financial instruments represent gains from changes in values of financial instruments only for the period(s) in which the instruments were classified as Level 3.

The assets presented under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are classified as obligations of state and municipal subdivisions, represent available for sale investment securities in the form of certificates of participation, where an active market for such securities is not currently available.

Non-recurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  These include assets and liabilities that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at fair value which was below cost.   Certain impaired loans measured at fair value at December 31, 2012 are no longer recorded at fair value due to borrower payments reducing the carrying value of certain of these loans to less than fair value and due to other impaired loans now being evaluated under the discounted cash flow method versus the collateral method.  The discounted cash flow method as prescribed by Topic 310 is not a fair value measurement since the discount rate utilized is the loan’s effective interest rate, which is not a market rate. The discounted cash flow approach was determined to be the most appropriate impairment method to use for these impaired loans based on their significant payment history and the global cash flow analysis performed on each borrower.

The following table provides a summary of assets the Company measures at fair value on a non-recurring basis:
