International Operations |
(13) International Operations The Company provides international banking services for its customers through its bank subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor its bank subsidiaries have facilities located outside the United States. International operations are distinguished from domestic operations based upon the domicile of the customer. Because the resources employed by the Company are common to both international and domestic operations, it is not practical to determine net income generated exclusively from international activities. A summary of assets attributable to international operations at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
|  | 2011 |  | 2010 |

At December 31, 2011, the Company had $132,567,000 in outstanding standby and commercial letters of credit to facilitate trade activities.
