(1) Reverse mortgages do not have contractual maturities. We have included reverse mortgages in maturities within one year.

We sold a $6.1 million investment security classified as available-for-sale during the first nine months of 2011 resulting in a gain on sale of $110,000. There were no sales of investment securities classified as available-for-sale during the first nine months of 2010 and, as a result, there were no net gains or losses realized during the 2010 period. The cost basis for investment security sales was based on the specific identification method. Investment securities totaling $500,000 and $720,000 were called by their issuers during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

At September 30, 2011, we owned investment securities totaling $4.5 million where the amortized cost basis exceeded the fair value. Total unrealized losses on those securities were $23,000 at September 30, 2011. This temporary impairment is the result of changes in market interest rates subsequent to the purchase of the securities. Securities with fair values of $135,000 have been impaired for 12 months or longer. We have determined that these securities are not other than temporarily impaired. Our investment portfolio is reviewed each quarter for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. We evaluate our intent and ability to hold debt securities based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. In addition, we do not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely-than-not we will be required to sell these securities before we are able to recover the amortized cost basis.
