The fair value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes, was $42.3 million at December 31, 2013, and $49.8 million at December 31, 2012. The securities delivered for repurchase agreements were $17.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $16.2 million at December 31, 2012.

Gross gains of $0.09 million and gross losses of $0.04 million were realized from sales of available-for-sale securities in 2013. The net $0.05 million gain on sale was a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income and is included in the net gain on sales of securities. There were no realized gains or losses in 2012. The 2013 related tax expense for net security gains was $0.02 million and was a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income and is included in the income tax expense line in the income statement.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $35.8 million and $6.0 million which is approximately 40% and 6% of the Company's available-for-sale investment portfolio, respectively.

Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.

Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

The unrealized gain on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio has been significantly reduced as of December 31, 2013 from the prior year. Management reviews these securities on a quarterly basis and has determined that no impairment exists. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation. When the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than not, the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income.
