At June 30, 2011, Bancorp held no security in the available-for-sale portfolio or in the held-to-maturity portfolio that had an unrealized loss for more than one year. Bancorp does not intend to sell securities that are identified as temporarily impaired nor does available evidence suggest it is more likely than not that management will be required to sell any impaired securities. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. Management believes the nature of the securities in the investment portfolio present a high probability of collecting all contractual amounts due. Based on the evaluation, management has determined that no investment security in Bancorp’s investment portfolio is other-than-temporarily impaired. There were 10 securities in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months as of June 30, 2011.

Available-for-sale investment securities with a carrying value of $83.6 million and $96.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were pledged as collateral for public fund deposits, securities sold under agreement to repurchase, and Federal Reserve Bank discount window borrowings. There were no sales of securities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at June 30, 2011, by contractual maturity, are shown in the following table. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayments penalties. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are not all due at a single maturity date, therefore, they are disclosed separately.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of investments in certain debt and equity securities (and certain other trading assets) which include all debt and equity securities (other than those equity securities accounted for under the equity or cost methods of accounting) with readily determinable fair values. Other trading assets include assets that are carried on the balance sheet at fair value and held for trading purposes. A debt security represents a creditor relationship with an enterprise that is in the form of a security. Debt securities include, among other items, US Treasury securities, US government securities, municipal securities, corporate bonds, convertible debt, commercial paper, and all securitized debt instruments. An equity security represents an ownership interest in an enterprise or the right to acquire or dispose of an ownership interest in an enterprise at fixed or determinable prices. Equity securities include, among other things, common stock, certain preferred stock, warrant rights, call options, and put options, but do not include convertible debt. An entity may opt to provide the reader with additional narrative text to better understand the nature of investments in debt and equity securities (and other trading assets).
