Included in our other liabilities are accrued pension costs of $7.5 million at September 30, 2014.  The benefits of our pension plans are fully vested, and, as such, no service costs were recognized for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  Our pension plans are unfunded; therefore, the actuarial assumptions do not include an estimate for any expected return on the plan assets.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $52,000 and $209,000, respectively, of interest cost and $215,000 and $686,000, respectively, of amortized prior service cost.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized $66,000 and $231,000, respectively, of interest cost and $166,000 and $330,000, respectively, of amortized prior service cost.    

On August 29, 2014 the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan “SERP” that was effective since March 1, 2007,  was ended and replaced with a new Pension annuity.  As a result of the termination of the SERP program the accrued pension liability of $7.6 million  was reversed and replaced with a new pension annuity liability of $7.5 million.  The valuation of the liability is based on the present value of $10.3 million discounted at a 4.25% over a 15- year term.  Monthly payments of $56,944 will be made to the estate of Jim Cotter Sr. commencing October 1, 2014.  The discounted value of $2.8 million (which is the difference between the  estimated payout of $10.3 million and the present value of $7.5 million) will be amortized and expensed over the 15-year term.  In addition,  the accumulated prior service costs of $3.1 million recorded as part of other comprehensive income will also be amortized over the 15-

year term.
