Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price or dealer quote is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

In June 2014, the Company sold $375,000 of municipal bonds from a single issuer. The Company took this action under the provisions of ASC 320-10-25-6(a), which allow for the sale of HTM securities where there is “evidence of a significant deterioration in the issuer’s creditworthiness.” The resulting income statement impact was not material.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company held 337 investment securities of which 17 were in a loss position for less than twelve months and 23 securities were in a loss position for twelve months or more. Management periodically evaluates each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment relying primarily on industry analyst reports and observations of market conditions and interest rate fluctuations. Management believes it will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the underlying investment securities.

Securities of Government Agency and Government Sponsored Entities – There were no unrealized losses on the Company's investments in securities of government agency and government sponsored entities at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

Mortgage Backed Securities - The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in mortgage backed securities were $2.9 million, $7.6 million, and $7.8 million at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and June 30, 2013, respectively. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage backed securities were caused by interest rate fluctuations. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by an agency or government sponsored entity of the U.S. government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company's investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and June, 2013, respectively.

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions - The financial problems experienced by certain municipalities over the past six years, along with the financial stresses exhibited by some of the large monoline bond insurers have increased the overall risk associated with bank-qualified municipal bonds. As of June 30, 2014, over ninety-six percent of the Company’s bank-qualified municipal bond portfolio is rated at either the issue or issuer level, and all of these ratings are “investment grade.” The Company monitors the status of all municipal investments with particular attention paid to the approximately four percent of the portfolio that is not rated, and at the current time does not believe any of them to be exhibiting financial problems that could result in a loss in any individual security. In June 2014, the Company sold $375,000 of municipal bonds from a single issuer. The Company took this action under the provisions of ASC 320-10-25-6(a), which allow for the sale of HTM securities where there is “evidence of a significant deterioration in the issuer’s creditworthiness.” The resulting income statement impact was not material.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in obligation of states and political subdivision were $90,000, $627,000, and $531,000 at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Management believes that any unrealized losses on the Company's investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions were primarily caused by interest rate fluctuations. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

Corporate Securities - The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in corporate securities were $15,000, $147,000, and $267,000 at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and June 30, 2013. Changes in the prices of corporate securities are primarily influenced by: (1) changes in market interest rates; (2) changes in perceived credit risk in the general economy or in particular industries; (3) changes in the perceived credit risk of a particular company; and (4) day to day trading supply, demand and liquidity. Because the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
