The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and amortized cost of the Company’s securities with unrealized losses aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 2012 and 2011. In the opinion of management, these securities are considered only temporarily impaired due to the fluctuation in market interest rates since purchase and temporary disruption in the credit markets as well as the Company’s intent and ability to hold them until fair values recover.

At December 31, 2012, there were four securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more and thirty-five securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. At December 31, 2011, there were five securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more and forty-two securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.


 
On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its individual available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for OTTI. As part of this evaluation, the Company considers whether it intends to sell each security and whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. If either of these conditions is met, the Company recognizes an OTTI charge to earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. For securities in an unrealized loss position that meet neither of these conditions, the Company considers whether it expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security by comparing its best estimate of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the Company’s best estimate of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, the difference is considered the credit loss.
 
For all the securities in its available-for-sale portfolio, the Company does not intend to sell any security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any security before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis.
 
The Company has determined that, as of December 31, 2012, all of the gross unrealized losses on its U.S. Treasury notes/bills, U.S. government agency notes, U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government collateralized mortgage obligations and municipal securities are temporary because the gross unrealized losses were caused mainly by movements in interest rates and not by the deterioration of the issuers’ creditworthiness. These securities were all with credit agency ratings of at least A+ at December 31, 2012. For its U.S. Treasury notes/bills, U.S. government agency notes, U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government collateralized mortgage obligations the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities because it determined that the strength of the issuers’ guarantees through direct obligations or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect the Company from losses based upon current expectations. As a result, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.
 
The Company owns one pooled trust preferred security, rated triple-A at purchase, with an amortized cost basis of $4.4 million and an unrealized loss of $1.6 million at December 31, 2012. The gross unrealized loss is mainly due to extraordinarily high investor yield requirements resulting from an illiquid market, causing this security to be valued at a discount to its acquisition cost. One credit rating agency has now rated the security Baa3 while another has rated the security B. The senior tranche owned by the Company has a collateral balance well in excess of the amortized cost basis of the tranche at December 31, 2012. Seventeen of the fifty-six issuers in the security have deferred or defaulted on their interest payments as of December 31, 2012. The Company’s analysis determined that approximately half of the issuers would need to default on their interest payments before the senior tranche owned by the Company would be at risk of loss. As the Company’s estimated present value of expected cash flows to be collected is in excess of the amortized cost basis, the Company considers the gross unrealized loss on this security to be temporary.
 
At December 31, 2012, we no longer owned any private-label CMOs. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment charges of $689,000 on these securities. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment charges of $1.4 million on our private-label CMOs.
 
The Company has committed to contribute capital of $1.0 million to participate in a community development-related investment fund whose purpose is to develop and revitalize economically depressed areas. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had contributed capital, net of distributions, of $819,000 and $816,000, respectively. During 2012, the fund recognized impairment losses on certain investments within the fund and the Company recognized its proportionate share of those impairment losses of $39,000. The Company also recognized an impairment loss of $41,000 on this equity investment in 2010. The Company will continue to monitor the investment values within the fund at each reporting date and can provide no assurance there will not be additional impairment in future periods.
 
The following table presents the other-than-temporary impairment activity related to credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities by contractual maturities are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-backed securities may mature earlier than their contractual maturities because of principal prepayments.
