The unrealized losses that exist are a result of market changes in interest rates since the original purchase. Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on an annual basis from the date of purchase if the respective security is in a loss position. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include (

) duration and magnitude of the decline in value, (

) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers and (

) structure of the security.

An impairment loss is recognized in earnings if any of the following are true: (

) the Company intends to sell the debt security; (

) it is more likely than

not

that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (

) the Company does

not

expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In situations where the Company intends to sell or when it is more likely than

not

that the Company will be required to sell the security, the entire impairment loss must be recognized in earnings. In all other situations, only the portion of the impairment loss representing the credit loss must be recognized in earnings, with the remaining portion being recognized in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred tax.
