During the third quarter of 2013, the Company increased its repurchase reserve liability by $150,000 for estimated losses incurred on sold loans that is included in gain on sales of mortgage loans. This liability represents management’s estimate of the potential repurchase or make-whole liability for residential mortgage loans originated for sale that may arise from representation and warranty claims that could relate to a variety of issues, including but not limited to, misrepresentation of facts, appraisal issues, or program requirements that may not meet investor guidelines. The Company has not experienced any historical repurchase losses although it was notified during the third quarter of 2013 by one of its two investors that fifteen loans which were foreclosed from 2007 to the present are being reviewed for quality control purposes and may result in payments to the investor as reimbursement for losses. The balance of these loans at foreclosure date totaled $1.5 million and because the investor completes the foreclosure process without notifying the Company of the ultimate loss, if any, upon selling the property, the total potential exposure has been estimated based upon reasonable assumptions of the property values at the time of foreclosure and considering private mortgage insurance reimbursements. At September 30, 2013, the Company was servicing approximately 3,100 loans sold to the secondary market with a balance of approximately $323.0 million compared to $310.0 million at December 31, 2012, and $307.0 million at September 30, 2012.
