FORECLOSED ASSETS

NOTE 5 – FORECLOSED ASSETS

Real estate and other property acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value (after deducting estimated costs to sell) at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Costs related to development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs related to holding property are expensed. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real estate or other property is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations of foreclosed assets and changes in any valuation allowance are included in loss on foreclosed assets.

A summary of activity in foreclosed assets is as follows:
