Proceeds from sales and calls of securities available for sale were $308.7 million and $435.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Gains of $3.0 million and $9.8 million were realized on these sales during 2011 and 2010, respectively, and offsetting losses of $1.0 million and $0.3 million were realized on these sales during 2011 and 2010. Also included in net securities gains for the first six months of 2011 is $106 thousand of gains associated with the trading securities and other-than-temporary impairment charges related to credit loss on three non-agency mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $0.5 million, described below. Impacting earnings in the first six months of 2010 were other-than-temporary impairment charges related to credit loss on two pooled trust preferred securities and ten non-agency mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $3.3 million.

Trading securities, which consist of mutual funds held in a trust associated with deferred compensation plans for former Monroe Bancorp directors and executives, are recorded at fair value and totaled $2.9 million at June 30, 2011.

During the second quarter of 2010, approximately $143.8 million of municipal securities were transferred from the available-for-sale portfolio to the held-to-maturity portfolio at fair value. The $9.4 million unrealized holding gain at the date of transfer shall continue to be reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity and will be amortized over the remaining life of the securities as an adjustment of yield.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC 320 (SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities). However, certain purchased beneficial interests, including non-agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized debt obligations, that had credit ratings at the time of purchase of below AA are evaluated using the model outlined in FASB ASC 325-10 (EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transfer in Securitized Financial Assets).

In determining OTTI under the FASB ASC 320 (SFAS No. 115) model, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time. The second segment of the portfolio uses the OTTI guidance provided by FASB ASC 325-10 (EITF 99-20) that is specific to purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were rated below AA. Under the FASB ASC 325-10 model, the Company compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.

When other-than-temporary-impairment occurs under either model, the amount of the other-than-temporary-impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary-impairment shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. Otherwise, the other-than-temporary-impairment shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary-impairment related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary-impairment related to other factors shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the other-than-temporary-impairment recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of June 30, 2011, Old National's security portfolio consisted of 1,077 securities, 134 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The majority of unrealized losses are related to the Company's non-agency mortgage-backed and pooled trust preferred securities, as discussed below:

Non-agency Mortgage-backed Securities

At June 30, 2011, the Company's securities portfolio contained 14 non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations with a fair value of $103.5 million which had net unrealized losses of approximately $2.0 million. All of these securities are residential mortgage-backed securities. These non-agency mortgage-backed securities were rated AAA at purchase and are not within the scope of FASB ASC 325-10 (EITF 99-20). As of June 30, 2011, nine of these securities were rated below investment grade with grades ranging from B to CC. One of the nine securities is rated B and has a fair value of $14.4 million, one of the securities is rated B- with a fair value of $6.4 million, five of the securities are rated CCC with a fair value of $38.8 million and two of the securities are rated CC with a fair value of $24.4 million. These securities were evaluated to determine if the underlying collateral is expected to experience loss, resulting in a principal loss of the notes. As part of the evaluation, a detailed analysis of deal-specific data was obtained from remittance reports provided by the trustee and data from the servicer. The collateral was broken down into several distinct buckets based on loan performance characteristics in order to apply different assumptions to each bucket. The most significant drivers affecting loan performance were examined including original loan-to-value ("LTV"), underlying property location and the loan status. The loans in the current status bucket were further divided based on their original LTV: a high-LTV and a low-LTV group to which different default curves and severity percentages were applied. The high-LTV group was further bifurcated into loans originated in high-risk states and all other states with a higher default-curve and severity percentages being applied to loans originated in the high-risk states. Different default curves and severity rates were applied to the remaining non-current collateral buckets. Using these collateral-specific assumptions, a model was built to project the future performance of the instrument. Based on this analysis of the underlying collateral, Old National recorded $0.5 million of credit losses on three of these securities for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The fair value of these non-agency mortgage-backed securities remaining at June 30, 2011 was $84.1 million.

Based on an analysis of the underlying collateral, Old National recorded $3.0 million of credit losses on ten nonagency mortgage-backed securities for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The fair value of these non-agency mortgage-backed securities was $96.0 million at June 30, 2010.

Pooled Trust Preferred Securities

At June 30, 2011, the Company's securities portfolio contained nine pooled trust preferred securities with a fair value of $9.7 million and unrealized losses of $17.6 million. Seven of the pooled trust preferred securities in our portfolio fall within the scope of FASB ASC 325-10 (EITF 99-20) and have a fair value of $5.9 million with unrealized losses of $7.2 million at June 30, 2011. These securities were rated A2 and A3 at inception, but at June 30, 2011, one security was rated BB, five securities were rated C and one security D. The issuers in these securities are primarily banks, but some of the pools do include a limited number of insurance companies. The Company uses the OTTI evaluation model to compare the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to determine whether an adverse change in cash flows has occurred during the quarter. The OTTI model considers the structure and term of the collateralized debt obligation ("CDO") and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments to the note classes. The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying trust preferred securities. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments.

We assume no recoveries on defaults and a limited number of recoveries on current or projected interest payment deferrals. In addition, we use the model to "stress" each CDO, or make assumptions more severe than expected activity, to determine the degree to which assumptions could deteriorate before the CDO could no longer fully support repayment of Old National's note class. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our model indicated no other-than-temporary-impairment losses on these securities.

Two of our pooled trust preferred securities with a fair value of $3.8 million and unrealized losses of $10.4 million at June 30, 2011 are not subject to FASB ASC 325-10. These securities are evaluated using collateral-specific assumptions to estimate the expected future interest and principal cash flows. Our analysis indicated no other-than-temporary-impairment on these securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our model indicated other-than-temporary-impairment losses on two securities of $0.3 million, which was recorded as a credit loss in earnings. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of these two securities was $1.1 million and they remained classified as available for sale.

The two pooled trust preferred securities which were not subject to FASB ASC 325-10 had a fair value of $5.8 million and unrealized losses of $8.3 million at June 30, 2010. These securities were evaluated using collateral-specific assumptions to estimate the expected future interest and principal cash flows. Our analysis indicated no other-than-temporary-impairment on these securities.

The table below summarizes the relevant characteristics of our nine pooled trust preferred securities as well as four single issuer trust preferred securities. Each of the pooled trust preferred securities support a more senior tranche of security holders except for the MM Community Funding II security which, due to payoffs, Old National is now in the most senior class.

As depicted in the table below, all nine securities have experienced credit defaults. However, three of these securities have excess subordination and are not other-than-temporarily-impaired as a result of their class hierarchy which provides more loss protection.
