When gross unrealized losses exist within the portfolio, the Corporation considers them temporary in nature and related to interest rate fluctuations.  The Corporation has both the ability and the intent to hold the investment securities until their respective maturities and therefore does not anticipate the realization of the temporary losses.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities pledged to secure FHLB borrowings and customer relationships were $7.377 million and $7.786 million, respectively, at September 30, 2012.
