Fair Value of All Other Financial Instruments Recognized in Balance Sheet Policy:  
Fair Value of All Other Financial Instruments Recognized in Balance Sheet Policy

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheet at amounts other than fair value:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Loans and Interest Receivable.  The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  The market rates used are based on current rates the Bank would impose for similar loans and reflect a market participant assumption about risks associated with non-performance, illiquidity, and the structure and term of the loans along with local and economic market conditions.  Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.  The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value, and is determined using the interest rate, balance and last payment date. 

 

Deposits and Accrued Interest Payable.  The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, i.e., their carrying amounts.  Interest rates on these types of deposits are regularly adjusted to market rates. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered by the Bank and its competitors for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value, and is determined using the interest rate, balance and last payment date.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances.  Rates offered by the FHLB currently available to the Company for advnces with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing advances by discounting the future cash flows.

 

Short-Term Borrowings.  The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Subordinated Debentures Issued to Capital Trusts.  The subordinated debentures have floating rates that reset quarterly.  The Company can redeem these instruments at par on a quarterly basis beginning in February 2012 (with respect to $25.8 million of the subordinated debentures) and October 2012 (with respect to $5.2 million of the subordinated debentures), respectively.  The carrying amount of these debentures approximates their fair value.

 

Structured Repurchase Agreements.  Structured repurchase agreements are collateralized borrowings from counterparties.  In addition to the principal amount owed, the counterparty also determines an amount that would be owed by either party in the event the agreement is terminated prior to maturity by the Company.  The fair values of the structured repurchase agreements are estimated based on the amount the Company would be required to pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date.

 

Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit.  The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

 

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments.  The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which method involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties.  Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.
