There are 22 debt securities totaling $6.70 million considered temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011. The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the Corporation's investments in debt securities was fluctuations in interest rates. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the municipal bond sector, which is included in the Corporation's obligations of states and political subdivisions category of securities, experienced rising securities prices as overall lower interest rates, limited supply, increased investor demand, and an absence of widespread defaults helped drive the market. A number of external factors, including the European debt crises and concerns about global economic weakness in general, have kept interest rates at near historically low levels. There were two key drivers of the reduced supply of municipal bonds:  (1) many issuers accelerated issuance in the second half of 2010 to take advantage of the expiring Build America Bond program, which reduced their borrowing needs for 2011, and (2) state and local governments employed strict fiscal measures to balance their budgets and, as a result, reduced the funding of new projects in general. The vast majority of the Corporation's municipal bond portfolio is comprised of securities where the issuing municipalities have unlimited taxing authority to support their debt servicing obligations. At December 31, 2011, approximately 96 percent of the Corporation's obligations of states and political subdivisions, as measured by market value, were rated “A” or better by Standard & Poor's or Moody's Investors Service.  Of those in a net unrealized loss position, approximately 81 percent were rated “A” or better, as measured by market value, at December 31, 2011. Because the Corporation intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of unrealized losses, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011 and no other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized.
 
The Corporation's investment in FHLB stock totaled $3.77 million at December 31, 2011. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and as a restricted investment security, which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock, other than the FHLBs or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The Corporation does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011 and no impairment has been recognized. FHLB stock is shown as a separate line item on the balance sheet and is not a part of the available for sale securities portfolio.
