FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES |
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES | NOTE 14 — FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES Total outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances amounted to $313.5 million and $313.0 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. There was no prepayment of FHLB advances during the first three months of 2013. In comparison, during the first three months of 2012, FHLB advances totaling $20.0 million were prepaid, with additional prepayment penalties of $1.3 million. Also, during the first three months of 2012, the Company modified $300.0 million of fixed rate FHLB advances into adjustable rate advances, reducing the effective interest rate on these borrowings from 2.27% to 1.36%. As a result of the modification the Company incurred a $37.7 million modification cost which was deferred and treated as a discount on the corresponding debt.
