At March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) was $170,000, $170,000 and $292,000, respectively.  The fair value at these dates was determined using a third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future servicing income.  The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds and discount rates.  Mortgage loan prepayment speed is the annual rate at which borrowers are forecasted to repay their mortgage loan principal and is based on historical experience and current interest rates.  The discount rate used to determine the present value of future net servicing income is the required rate of return the market would expect for an asset with similar risk.  Both assumptions can, and generally will, change quarterly valuations as market conditions and interest rates change.
