9. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS

At September 30, 2012, the Company had $17,000,000 of unsecured short-term borrowing arrangements with two of its correspondent banks. There were no advances under the borrowing arrangements as of September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

The Company has a line of credit available with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the “FHLB”) which is secured by pledged mortgage loans and investment securities. Borrowings may include overnight advances as well as loans with terms of up to thirty years. Advances (both short and long-term) totaling $18,000,000 were outstanding from the FHLB at September 30, 2012, bearing interest rates ranging from 0.67% to 2.73% and maturing between May 20, 2013 and July 12, 2019. Advances totaling $19,000,000 were outstanding from the FHLB at December 31, 2011, bearing interest rates ranging from 0.67% to 2.73% and maturing between January 9, 2012 and July 20, 2016. Remaining amounts available under the borrowing arrangement with the FHLB at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $59,912,000 and $62,242,000, respectively. The decreased borrowing capacity during 2012 resulted from the decrease in the pledged securities collateral. In addition, the Company has a secured borrowing agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The borrowing can be secured by pledging selected loans and investment securities. Borrowings generally are short-term including overnight advances as well as loans with terms up to ninety days.

The decreased borrowing capacity during 2012 resulted from the decrease in the pledged loan collateral.
