The Company conducts a regular assessment of its investment portfolios to determine whether any securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other factors, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any recovery. The $186,000 unrealized losses at June 30, 2015 relate to fluctuations in interest rates and financial markets and not credit quality. Because the Company has the intent to hold these securities and more likely than not will not need to sell them, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.

The $45,000 unrealized loss in the mutual fund investment at June 30, 2014 was attributable primarily to fluctuation in interest rates during fiscal year 2014, and not credit quality, and the Company did not consider the investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014. In September 2014, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $91,000 related to the mutual fund investment. While the Company had the ability and intent to retain this investment, given that the fund lowered its dividend by 11% in May 2014 and had traded below its recorded cost for over twelve months, the Company determined that an other than temporary impairment had occurred.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Due after three months to one year		5,152		5,176
