The Bancorp has agreed to repurchase securities identical to those sold. The securities underlying the agreements are under the Bancorp's control.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Bancorp had $0 in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and $11,000 in FHLB fixed rate long-term advances outstanding with an average rate of 3.24%.
