Fair values have been estimated using data which management considers as the best available, and estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument.  The estimation methodologies used by the Bank were as follows:

Cash and Due from banks and Interest –Bearing Deposits in Other Banks

The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks and interest bearing deposits in other banks approximate their fair value because of the short maturities of these financial instruments.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Available for Sale and Held for Investment

The estimated fair value of mortgage-backed securities is provided in Note 5 to the financial statements. These are based on quoted market prices, when available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans and Leases, Net

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans and leases with similar financial characteristics, such as residential mortgage. Loans and leases are segregated by type of loan, fixed and variable interest rate terms. The fair value of each category is determined by discounting scheduled future cash flows using current interest rates offered on loans or leases with similar characteristics. Fair values for impaired loans and leases are estimated based on discounted cash flows or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta

The fair value for FHLB stock approximates carrying value, based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Deposits and Advances from FHLB

The fair value of demand deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of certificates of deposits and FHLB advances are estimated using the rates currently offered for similar instruments with similar remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest Receivable, Repurchase Agreements and Junior Subordinated Debentures

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable, repurchase agreements, and junior subordinated debentures approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

With regard to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of future financing commitments.
