The held-to-maturity TRUPS had a weighted average term to maturity of 21.0 years at December 31, 2013.  At December 31, 2013, MBS available-for-sale (which included pass-through MBS issued by GSEs, CMOs issued by GSEs, one private issuer pass through MBS and one private issuer CMO) possessed a weighted average contractual maturity of 16.9 years and a weighted average estimated duration of 1.2 years. There were no sales of investment securities held-to-maturity during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, gross proceeds from the sales of investment securities available-for-sale totaled $366.  A gross gain of $110 was recognized on these sales and there were no gross recognized losses.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, gross proceeds from the sales of investment securities available-for-sale totaled $22,415.  A gross gain of  $941 was recognized on these sales and there were no gross recognized losses.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, gross proceeds from the sales of investment securities available-for-sale totaled $226.  A gross gain of $32 was recognized on these sales.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, gross proceeds on the sales of MBS available-for-sale totaled $21,949.  A gross gain of $81 was recognized on these sales and there were no gross recognized losses.  There were no sales of MBS available-for-sale during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011.

Tax provisions related to the gains on sales of investment securities and MBS available-for-sale recognized during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are disclosed in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

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:

As of each reporting period through December 31, 2013, the Company has applied the protocol established by ASC 320-10-65 ("ASC 320-10-65") in order to determine whether OTTI existed for its TRUPS and/or to measure, for TRUPS that have been determined to be other than temporarily impaired, the credit related and non-credit related components of OTTI.  As of December 31, 2013, five TRUPS were determined to meet the criteria for OTTI based upon this analysis.  At December 31, 2013, these five securities had credit ratings ranging from "C" to "Caa3."

(1) At December 31, 2013, the recorded balance of these securities was $3,551.  This balance reflected the remaining unrealized loss of $997 that was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on September 1, 2008 (the day these securities were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity).  In accordance with both ASC 320-10-35-17 and 320-10-65, this unrealized loss is currently being amortized over the remaining estimated life of these securities.

TRUPS That Have Maintained an Unrealized Holding Loss for 12 or More Consecutive Months
 
At December 31, 2013, impairment of two of the TRUPS, with an amortized cost of $4,548, was deemed temporary. These securities remained in an unrealized loss position for 12 or more consecutive months, and their cumulative unrealized loss was $1,146 at December 31, 2013, reflecting both illiquidity in the marketplace and concerns over future bank failures.  At December 31, 2013, both of these securities had ratings ranging from "BB-" to "A."  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, 2013 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 does not intend to sell these securities prior to full recovery of their impairment
·
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
·
Both securities have 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)
·
Both securities feature 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
·
Both securities are adequately collateralized
