During 2011, the Company recognized an other than temporary impairment (OTTI) on its investment in pooled trust preferred securities of $189,127. The tax benefit applicable to this OTTI loss amounted to $39,179. There were three securities with a total amortized cost of $6.4 million sold in order to ensure the recognition of current value that had future exposure to prepayment risk and to extend the maturity.  A gain of $73,997 was recognized.  Additionally, the Bank sold 10,000 shares of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) preferred stock at a gain of $22,100.  Sixteen bonds with a total amortized cost of $17.0 million were called during 2011 and a gain of $6,374 was recognized.   Securities totaling $32.2 million were purchased, primarily U.S. Government corporation and agency bonds.

During 2010, the Company recognized an OTTI on its investment in pooled trust preferred securities of $1,394,153 and on its FHLMC preferred stock of $9,400. The tax benefit applicable to this OTTI loss amounted to $477,208. During 2010, nine securities with a total amortized cost of $9.9 million were sold at a gain of $541,109. Eight of these bonds were sold in order to ensure the recognition of current value that had future exposure to prepayment risk, and one bond was sold due to its relatively longer-term contractual duration and inherent extension risk of an additional two years duration if market rates were to increase in the future. The tax expense on these gains on sale totaled $183,977.       
 
During 2009, the Company recognized an OTTI on its investment in pooled trust preferred securities of $658,734. The tax benefit applicable to this OTTI loss amounted to $223,963. Silverton Bank was closed by regulators on May 1, 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded impairment of the entire investment totaling $112,900. There was no tax benefit applicable to this OTTI loss. There were no securities sold in 2009.

The nature of securities which were temporarily impaired for a continuous 12 month period or more at December 31, 2011consisted of four corporate bonds with a cost basis net of  OTTI  totaling $3.8 million and a temporary loss of approximately $3.5 million. The method for valuing these four corporate bonds came from Moody's Analytics. Moody's Analytics employs a two-step discounted cash-flow valuation process. The first step is to use Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the credit quality of the collateral pool and the structural supports. Step two is to apply a discount rate to the cash flows to calculate a value. These four corporate bonds are the “Class B” or subordinated “mezzanine” tranche of pooled trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities are collateralized by the interest and principal payments made on trust preferred capital offerings by a geographically diversified pool of approximately 60 different financial institutions. They have an estimated maturity of 25 years. These bonds could have been called at par on the five year anniversary date of issuance, which has already passed for all four bonds.  The bonds reprice every three months at a fixed rate index above the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).  These bonds have sufficient collateralization and cash flow projections to satisfy their valuation based on the cash flow portion of the OTTI test under authoritative accounting guidance as of December 31, 2011. All four bonds totaling $334,974 at fair value, are greater than 90 days past due, and are classified as nonperforming corporate bond investments in the nonperforming asset table in Note 3.

A break in yield for a given tranche investment means that defaults and/or deferrals have reached such a level that the specific tranche would not receive all of the contractual principal and interest cash flow by its maturity, resulting in not a temporary shortfall, but an actual loss. This column represents the percentage of additional defaults among the currently performing collateral that would result in other than temporary impairment and loss.
_______________________

The Company monitors these pooled trust preferred securities in its portfolio as to additional collateral issuer defaults and deferrals, which as a general rule indicate that additional impairment may have occurred. Due to the continued stress on banks in general, and the issuer banks in particular, as a result of overall economic conditions, the Company anticipates having to recognize additional impairment in future periods; however the extent, timing, and probability of any additional impairment cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The Company's restricted investments include an equity investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”). FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long term investment and as a restricted investment which is carried at cost because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLB or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. The Company does not consider this investment to be other than temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011, and no impairment has been recognized.
