NOTE L – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 
·
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
     
 
·
Significant other observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for securities in inactive markets and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
     
 
·
Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or writedowns of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were still held in the balance sheet at quarter end, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related assets at quarter end (in thousands).

Impaired Loans - The value of the impaired loan is periodically assessed by performing a property valuation, which could include a full or limited appraisal, or another alternative valuation method. In accordance with Subtopic 310, impaired loan with recorded balances totaling $6.5 million were written down to their estimated fair value, resulting in specific reserves and charge offs totaling $2.3 million, which was included in earnings for the period.

Other Real Estate Owned – Other real estate owned includes the fair value of foreclosed real estate and other collateral that were measured at fair value subsequent to their initial classification as foreclosed assets. At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned is recorded at the fair value of the real estate less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Subsequent declines in fair value are written off as incurred through a valuation allowance. The value of the OREO properties is periodically assessed by performing a property valuation, which could include a full or limited appraisal, or another alternative valuation method. In accordance with Subtopic 360, other real estate owned with recorded balances totaling $14.4 million were written down to their estimated fair value, resulting in write downs totaling $1.9 million, which was included in earnings for the period.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values presented represent the Company’s best estimate of fair value using the methodologies discussed below. The fair values of financial instruments which have a relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization were valued using historical cost. The values assigned do not necessarily represent amounts which ultimately may be realized. In addition, these values do not give effect to discounts to fair value which may occur when financial instruments are sold in larger quantities.

The following assumptions were used as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

 
a)
Cash and Due From Banks - The carrying amount represents a reasonable estimate of fair value.
     
 
b)
Federal Funds Sold - The carrying amount represents a reasonable estimate of fair value.
     
 
c)
Time Deposits at Other Financial Institutions - The carrying amount represents a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of such deposits.
     
 
d)
FHLB, FRB Stock and Other Securities - The carrying amount represents a reasonable estimate of fair value.
     
 
e)
Investment Securities – The fair value of investment securities are based on quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value.

 
f)
Loans - Commercial loans, residential mortgages, construction loans and direct financing leases are segmented by fixed and adjustable rate interest terms, by maturity, and by performing and nonperforming categories.
     
   
The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flow, and discount rates are determined using available market information.
     
   
The fair value of nonperforming loans is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using current interest rates with an additional risk adjustment reflecting the individual characteristics of the loans, or using the fair value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans as a practical expedient.
     
 
g)
Bank-owned Life Insurance - The carrying amount and estimated fair values are based on current cash surrender values at each reporting date provided by the insurers.
     
 
h)
Mortgage Servicing Assets – The fair value of mortgage servicing assets is estimated using projected cash flows adjusted for the effects of anticipated prepayments, using a market discount rate.
     
 
i)
Deposits – Noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits and savings accounts are payable on demand and their carrying values are assumed to be at fair value. The fair value of the core deposit intangible has not been included as a component of the fair value estimate. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is based on rates currently offered for deposits of similar size and remaining maturities.
     
 
j)
Subordinated Debentures - The fair value of the subordinated debentures is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows using the current interest rate at which similar securities with the same remaining expected life could be made.
     
 
k)
Commitments to Fund Loans/Standby Letters of Credit - The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The differences between the carrying value of commitments to fund loans or standby letters of credit and their fair value are not significant and therefore not included in the following table.
     
 
l)
Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable – The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable represents a reasonable estimate of fair value.
