3.   INVESTMENT SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY AND AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no holdings of investment securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders' equity.
 
The amortized/historical cost, gross unrealized gains and losses and estimated fair value of investment securities held-to-maturity at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

(1) Amount represents the purchase amortized / historical cost less any credit-related OTTI charges recognized through earnings.
(2) Amount represents the remaining unamortized portion of the unrealized loss that was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on September 1, 2008 (the day on which these securities were transferred from
     available-for-sale to held-to-maturity).

There were no sales of investment securities held-to-maturity during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010.

On September 1, 2008, the Bank transferred eight TRUPS (i.e., investment securities primarily secured by the preferred debt obligations of a pool of U.S. banks with a small portion secured by debt obligations of insurance companies) with an amortized cost of $19,922 from its available-for-sale portfolio to its held-to-maturity portfolio.  Based upon the lack of an orderly market for these securities, management determined that a formal election to hold them to maturity was consistent with its initial investment decision.  On the date of transfer, the unrealized loss of $8,420 on these securities continued to be recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity (net of income tax benefit), and was expected to be amortized over the remaining average life of the securities, which approximated 25.7 years on a weighted average basis.  Activity related to this transfer loss was as follows:

At December 31, 2012, the seven remaining TRUPS had an aggregate remaining amortized cost of $16,773 (based upon acquisition cost).  As of December 31, 2012, two of the seven TRUPS continued to make their contractual payments.  The remaining five securities are not making their full contractual payments.

At December 31, 2012, impairment of two of the TRUPS, with an amortized cost of $5,437, was deemed temporary.  These securities remained in an unrealized loss for 12 or more consecutive months, and their cumulative unrealized loss was $1,814 at December 31, 2012, reflecting both illiquidity in the marketplace and concerns over future bank failures.  At December 31, 2012, both of these securities had ratings ranging from "CC" to "Ba1."  Despite both the significant decline in market value and the duration of their impairment, management believed that the unrealized losses on these securities at December 31, 2012 were temporary, and that the full value of the investments would be realized once the market dislocations have been removed, or as the securities continued to make their contractual payments of principal and interest.  In making this determination, management considered the following:

·
Based upon an internal review of the collateral backing the TRUPS portfolio, which accounted for current and prospective deferrals, the securities could reasonably be expected to continue making all contractual payments
·
The Company had the intent and ability to hold these securities until they fully recover their impairment, evidenced by the election to reclassify them as held-to-maturity in 2008
·
There were no cash or working capital requirements nor contractual or regulatory obligations that would compel the Company to sell these securities prior to their forecasted recovery or maturity
·
Each security has a pool of underlying issuers comprised primarily of banks
·
Neither of the securities have exposure to real estate investment trust issued debt (which has experienced high default
rates)
·
Each security featured either a mandatory auction or a de-leveraging mechanism that could result in principal repayments to the Bank prior to the stated maturity of the security
·
Each security is characterized by some level of over-collateralization

At December 31, 2012, in management's judgment, the credit quality of the collateral pool underlying five of the Company's seven TRUPS had deteriorated to the point that full recovery of the Company's initial investment was considered uncertain, thus resulting in recognition of OTTI charges.  At December 31, 2012, these five securities had credit ratings ranging from "D" to "Caa3." The Company applied ASC 320-10-65 to determine the credit related component of OTTI for the five TRUPS by discounting the expected future cash flows applicable to the securities at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition by the Company.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the pre-tax OTTI charges recognized on the Company's investment securities held-to-maturity:
