that is when the present value of the expected cash flows from a debt security is less than the amortized cost basis of the security.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;An impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary when: 1) an entity intends to sell a debt security that is impaired; 2) when it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis; or 3) when a credit loss exists.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;An entity must recognize an impairment related to any of the three of these circumstances currently in earnings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="DISPLAY: block;
