The Company held no securities classified as held to maturity or trading at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

The unrealized losses relate to fixed-rate debt securities that have incurred fair value reductions due to higher market interest rates since the respective purchase date. The unrealized losses are not likely to reverse unless and until market interest rates decline to the levels that existed when the securities were purchased. Since none of the unrealized losses relate to the marketability of the securities or the issuer's ability to honor redemption obligations, none of the securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

As of June 30, 2011, the securities portfolio totaled $4.6 billion and as of December 31, 2010, the securities portfolio totaled $1.4 billion. Of the total portfolio, $2.2 billion of securities were in an unrealized loss position of $10 million. Management and the Asset/Liability Committee continually monitor the securities portfolio and management is able to effectively measure and monitor the unrealized loss position on these securities. The Company has adequate liquidity and therefore does not plan to sell and is more likely than not, not to be required to sell these securities before recovery. Accordingly, the unrealized loss of these securities has not been determined to be other than temporary.

Securities with a carrying value of approximately $2.7 billion at June 30, 2011 and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2010 were pledged primarily to secure public deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Short-term Investments

The Company held no short-term investments at June 30, 2011 and $275.0 million at December 31, 2010 in U.S. government agency discount notes as securities available for sale at amortized cost. Short-term investments all mature in less than 1 year. As the amortized cost is a reasonable estimate for fair value of these short-term investments, there were no gross unrealized losses to evaluate for impairment at December 31, 2010.
