Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010 represents other than temporary impairment.  At June 30, 2011, the Bank held no investment securities that had unrealized losses existing for greater than 12 months and at December 31, 2010 the Bank held one investment security that had unrealized losses existing for greater than 12 months.   Management believes the temporary impairment in fair value was caused by market fluctuations in interest rates and not by a deterioration in credit quality of the underlying portfolio of securities.  Since securities are held to maturity, management does not believe that the Bank will experience any losses on these investments.
