Highlight of Business Operations:
On a quarterly basis, the Company performs a review of investment securities to determine if any unrealized losses are other than temporarily impaired. Management considers the following, amongst other things, in its determination of the nature of the unrealized losses, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As a result of this review, the Company recognized $2.2 million of other than temporary impairment charges during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. These impairment charges were related to pooled bank trust preferreds with a remaining book value of $8.9 million. At March 31, 2009, the Company s portfolio of perpetual callable preferred securities, preferred securities, and trust preferred securities primarily invested in regional banks have a total book value of $109.7 million and unrealized losses of $21.7 million. The Company continues to actively monitor the market values of these investments along with the financial strength of the issuers behind these securities, as well as our entire investment portfolio. Based on the market information available the Company believes that the recent declines in market value are temporary and that the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until the temporary losses recover or the securities are called or mature. The Company cannot guarantee that such securities will recover and if additional information becomes available in the future to suggest that the losses are other than temporary, the Company may need to record impairment charges in future periods.The Company reported consolidated net income of $10.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $13.0 million, or $0.80 per diluted common share for the first three months of 2008.
