Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
March 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
A. Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jeffersonville Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Jeffersonville (collectively, Jeffersonville Bancorp and its subsidiary are referred to herein as the “Company”), with all significant intercompany transactions having been eliminated.

E. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The Company also sponsors a postretirement medical, dental and life insurance benefit plan for qualifying pension plan retirees as disclosed in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The components of the net periodic benefit cost for these plans follows:

Net periodic benefit cost | | $ | 235 | | | $ | 138 | | | $ | 85 | | | $ | 74 | |
The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, that it expected to contribute $465,000 to its pension plan and $101,000 to its other postretirement benefits plan in 2009. As of March 31, 2009, a contribution of $243,000 was made to the pension plan and $30,000 of contributions had been made to the other postretirement benefits plan. The Company continues to expect that the contributions noted above for 2009 will be made.
F. Guarantees
The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally arise in connection with lending relationships. The credit risk involved in issuing these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Contingent obligations under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $1,020,000 at March 31, 2009 and $1,241,000 at December 31, 2008 and represent the maximum potential future payments the Company could be required to make. Typically, these instruments have terms of twelve months or less and expire unused; therefore, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer is evaluated individually for creditworthiness under the same underwriting standards used for commitments to extend credit for on-balance sheet instruments. Company policies governing loan collateral apply to standby letters of credit at the time of credit extension. Loan-to-value ratios are generally consistent with loan-to-value requirements for other commercial loans secured by similar types of collateral. The fair value of the Company's standby letters of credit at March 31, 2009 was insignificant.
G. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective dates and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported.
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4). FASB Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or transfer the liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance on determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.
FSP FAS 157-4 provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with Statement 157.
This FSP clarifies that when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly. In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly. The FSP provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.
This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting FSP FAS 157-4 must also early adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. The Company is currently considering the impact this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 clarify the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. For debt securities, management must assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery. These steps are done before assessing whether the entity will recover the cost basis of the investment. Previously, this assessment required management to assert it has both the intent and the ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value to avoid recognizing an other-than-temporary impairment. This change does not affect the need to forecast recovery of the value of the security through either cash flows or market price.
In instances when a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists but the investor does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security prior to its anticipated recovery, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 change the presentation and amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in the income statement. The other-than-temporary impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.
This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 must also early adopt FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. The Company is currently considering the impact this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amend FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.
This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 must also early adopt FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. The Company is currently considering the impact this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are as follows:
| Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2: | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
| Level 3: | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity). |
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For financial and non-financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows, dollars in thousands:

As of March 31, 2009, a total of $21,583,000 in available for sale securities had a $528,000 total unrealized loss which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the balance sheet. Four of these available for sale securities, totaling $1,355,000 or $8,000 of unrealized loss, were in a continual loss position for 12 months or more. In management’s opinion, the unrealized losses are a reflection of interest rate changes and not credit related. As such, the Bank has the intent and proven ability to hold securities until recovery by the adequate liquidity available through the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank, and other banking institutions. Therefore, no impairment was recorded.
The table below presents a reconciliation and income statement classification of gains and losses for all assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, dollars in thousands:

Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (“SFAS 114”), in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair values of collateral-dependent impaired loans were $1,778,000 and $646,000, net of a valuation allowance of $299,000 and $149,000, respectively.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this report includes certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company based on current management’s expectations. Economic circumstances, the Company's operations and the Company’s actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Company’s loan and securities portfolios, changes in accounting principles, and other economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices. Some of these and other factors are discussed in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such developments could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
A. Overview – Financial Condition
During the period from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009, total assets increased $11,914,000 or 3.0%. The increase was due to $11,800,000 in federal funds sold and a $4,420,000 or 4.8% increase in investment securities, partially offset by a $1,321,000 or 0.5% decrease in net loans and a $2,658,000 or 29.7% decrease in cash and cash due from banks. The net increase in total assets was funded by the large increase in deposits.
Total deposits increased from $296,724,000 at December 31, 2008 to $319,642,000 at March 31, 2009, an increase of $22,918,000 or 7.7%. NOW and super NOW accounts increased $8,285,000 or 29.4%, savings and insured money market deposits increased $4,278,000 or 5.8% and time deposits increased $12,555,000 or 9.2% due to seasonal influences and the Bank’s enhanced sales initiative, along with changes and uncertainty in the marketplace. Depositors have increasingly brought deposits to Jeff Bank, possibly due to lack of other investment opportunities and uncertainty in the stock market. Demand deposits decreased $2,200,000 to $56,448,000 at March 31, 2009, a decrease of 3.8%. Short-term debt decreased $10,179,000 because the increase in total deposits satisfied the Company’s liquidity needs.
Total stockholders’ equity increased $74,000 or 0.2% from $42,662,000 at December 31, 2008 to $42,736,000 at March 31, 2009. This increase was the result of net income of $754,000 less an increase of $130,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss and payment of cash dividends of $550,000.

B. Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s assessment of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, which includes factors such as the general state of the economy and past loan experience. While no provision was recorded in the first quarter of 2008, a provision of $150,000 was provided for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Total charge-offs for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 were $108,000 compared to $153,000 for the same period in the prior year, and recoveries were $56,000 and $38,000 for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The amounts represent net charge-offs of $115,000 in the first quarter of 2008 versus net charge-offs of $52,000 for the first quarter of 2009. Based on management’s analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
Changes in the allowance for loan losses are summarized as follows for the periods indicated, dollars in thousands:
| | Three months | | | Three months | | | | |
| | ended | | | ended | | | Year ended | |
| | March 31, | | | March 31, | | | December 31, | |

Allowance for loan losses to: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total loans | | | 1.23 | % | | | 1.28 | % | | | 1.18 | % |
Total non-performing loans | | | 38.5 | % | | | 115.6 | % | | | 51.8 | % |
The allowance for loan losses was $3.3 million at March 31, 2009, and $3.2 million at both December 31 and March 31, 2008. Nonperforming loans were $8.4 million at March 31, 2009 and $6.1 million at December 31, 2008. An increase in nonperforming loans with a relatively stable allowance for loan losses is reflected in the decrease of the allowance’s coverage on nonperforming loans from 115.6% at March 31, 2008 to 51.8% at December 31, 2008 and 38.5% at March 31, 2009. While nonperforming loans have increased, the Banks loans remain well collateralized, and with the Banks minimal loss history and low charge-offs, management believes the allowance is adequate.
C. Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
The Company places a loan on nonaccrual status when collectability of principal or interest in accordance with the provisions of the loan documents is doubtful, or when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. The majority of the Company’s total nonaccrual and past due loans are secured loans and, as such, management anticipates there will be limited risk of loss upon their ultimate resolution. Interest income on nonaccrual loans that are well secured is recorded on a cash basis.
Nonperforming loans are summarized as follows at the following dates, dollars in thousands:
| | March 31, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | | | | | |
Nonaccrual loans | | $ | 7,791 | | | $ | 5,434 | |
Loans past due 90 days or more and | | | | | | | | |
still accruing interest | | | 704 | | | | 686 | |
Total nonperforming loans | | $ | 8,495 | | | $ | 6,120 | |
Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans | | | 3.19 | % | | | 2.29 | % |
As of March 31, 2009, there were $6,771,000 in loans, compared to $5,191,000 at December 31, 2008, which were considered to be impaired under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.114.
Under the Federal Reserve’s risk-based capital rules, the Bank’s Tier I risk-based capital was 15.9% and total risk-based capital was 17.1% of risk-weighted assets at March 31, 2009. These risk-based capital ratios are well above the minimum regulatory requirements of 4.0% for Tier I capital and 8.0% for total capital. The Bank’s leverage ratio (Tier I capital to average assets) of 11.0% at March 31, 2009 is well above the 4.0% minimum regulatory requirement.
The following table shows the Bank’s actual capital measurements compared to the minimum regulatory requirements as of March 31, 2009, dollars in thousands:

Liquidity
The objective of maintaining adequate liquidity is to assure the ability of the Company and its subsidiary to meet their financial obligations. These obligations include the payment of interest on deposits, borrowings, withdrawal of deposits on demand or at their contractual maturity, and the repayment of borrowings as they mature, the ability to fund new and existing loan commitments and the ability to take advantage of new business opportunities. The Company and its subsidiary achieve liquidity by maintaining a strong base of core customer funds, maturing short-term assets, the ability to sell securities, the availability of lines of credit and access to capital markets.
Liquidity at the subsidiary Bank level is managed through the monitoring of anticipated changes in loans, the investment portfolio, core deposits and wholesale funds. The strength of the subsidiary Bank’s liquidity position is a result of its base of core customer deposits. These core deposits are supplemented by wholesale funding sources, including credit lines with the other banking institutions, and the Federal Home Loan Bank.
The primary source of liquidity for the parent Company is dividends from the Bank. OCC regulations prohibit the Bank to pay a dividend without prior OCC approval if the total amount of all dividends declared during the calendar year, including the proposed dividend, exceeds the sum of its retained net income to date during the calendar year and its retained net income over the preceding two years. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank is permitted to pay a dividend without prior OCC approval.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, a total of $9,142,000 in cash was generated. Financing activities accounted for $12,189,000 in cash provided, partially offset by cash used for operating and investing activities of $153,000 and $2,894,000, respectively. See the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information.

Net income for the first three months of 2009 decreased $300,000 to $754,000 from $1,054,000 for the same period in 2008. Net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased $234,000 or 6.1% to $3,630,000. This decrease is primarily due to a $150,000 provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 versus no provision for the same quarter in 2008 and a decrease in interest income of $466,000 or 8.0%, partly offset by decreased interest expense of $382,000. Non-interest expenses increased $280,000, while there was an increase in non-interest income of $69,000 and a reduction in income tax expense of $145,000. The Company’s annualized return on average assets was 0.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, down from 1.1% for the same period last year. The annualized return on average stockholders’ equity was 7.0% and 9.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Total interest income decreased $466,000 or 8.0% to $5,373,000, of which $246,000 or 5.3% of the decrease is attributable to lower income on loans, a result of lower variable rates and new loans replacing higher yielding loans. Interest income on investment securities decreased $204,000 or 16.8% primarily resulting from calls of higher yielding securities being replaced late in the quarter by lower market rate investments. Interest expense decreased $382,000 or 19.3% from $1,975,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1,593,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The majority of the decrease came from a 25.2% or $413,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits, from $1,638,000 in 2008 to $1,225,000 in 2009. Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings increased due to a higher level of borrowings. Total interest expense decreased as a result of a decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities despite an increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities.
Tax equivalent net interest spread increased 3 basis points and net interest margin decreased 19 basis points, to 4.43% in the first quarter of 2009 from 4.62% in the same quarter of 2008. Tax equivalent net interest income decreased $126,000 or 3.1% in the first three months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Income on average interest earning assets experienced a decrease of $508,000 or 65 basis points, mostly composed of lower tax equivalent interest income on average loans and average investment securities, which both decreased by $246,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The 65 basis point decrease was due primarily to lower interest rates on average loans of 73 basis points and a decrease in the average balance of investment securities due to the timing between calls and purchases. Loan rates decreased due to variable rate features and economic conditions, with rates on time and demand loans decreasing the most, from 7.39% to 4.19%. This resulted in a decrease of $196,000 or 4.2% in interest income on average time and demand loans. As average rates on bonds and other securities fell, many obligations were called faster than they were replaced. Partially offsetting the decrease in total interest income was a decrease in the total interest expense of $382,000 as a result of a 68 basis point decrease on the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities. Declining interest rates on interest-bearing deposits were the primary source. Interest expense on total interest bearing deposits decreased 75 basis points, primarily in time deposits (a decrease of 114 basis points or $218,000) and savings and insured money market deposits (a decrease of 76 basis points or $176,000).
The total average balance for interest earning assets was $361,080,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to $356,875,000 for the same three month period in 2008, an increase of $4,205,000 or 1.2%. The overall yield on average interest earning assets decreased 65 basis points from 6.84% in 2008 to 6.19% in 2009. Average loans increased $13,059,000 or 5.1%. Average real estate mortgages and home equity loans increased by $7,932,000 or 4.3% and $4,909,000 or 18.9%, respectively, as many customers took advantage of historically low rates. Average yields on those loans decreased by 37 and 61 basis points, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Partially offsetting the increase in average loans was a decrease in average investment securities of $9,364,000 and 48 basis points from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. The average balance of tax exempt securities decreased $5,118,000 and 82 basis points due to calls and maturities from the falling interest rates. Average taxable securities decreased $4,246,000 and 15 basis points as agency securities were not called as frequently. Average short-term investments, primarily federal funds sold, increased $510,000, with a yield decrease of 267 basis points, from 2.94% to 0.27%, due to the continuing reduction of the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve Bank.
The provision for loan losses was $150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, which was an increase from no provision for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in 2009 was due to the increased level of non-accrual loans.
Non-interest income increased to $891,000 for the first three months of 2009 compared to $822,000 for the same period in 2008, a change of $69,000 or 8.4%. This increase was primarily the result of net security gains of $166,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, $152,000 more than what was recorded for the first quarter of 2008. Included in the $166,000, was a gain of $129,000 on the sale of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation preferred stock (FHLMC) as of March 31, 2009. The gain on FHLMC stock was a result of a minor recovery over prior year’s impairment charge which reduced the $5.1 million invested in FHLMC stock to its market value at December 31, 2008 of $56,000. For further discussion, please see the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease of $53,000 or 12.0% in service charges due to a lower volume of overdrafts and $40,000 or 17.2% decrease in other non-interest income. Non-interest expenses increased $280,000 or 8.3%, to $3,655,000 for the first three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $3,375,000 for the same period in 2008. Costs associated with salaries and employee benefits increased $231,000, from $1,941,000 to $2,172,000, primarily due to increased pension expense of $105,000, and other fringe benefit costs. Other non-interest expense increased $28,000, primarily consisting of consulting and audit fees.
Income tax expense was $112,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to $257,000 for the corresponding period in 2008, a decrease of $145,000 or 56.4%. The Company’s effective tax rates were 12.9% and 19.6% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The reduction in effective tax rates was due to tax exempt interest and earnings on bank owned life insurance being a higher percentage of income before income tax expense in 2009 as compared to 2008.
F. Critical Accounting Policies
Management of the Company considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover credit losses in the portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level deemed adequate by management based on an evaluation of such factors as economic conditions in the Company’s market area, past loan loss experience, the financial condition of individual borrowers, and underlying collateral values based on independent appraisals. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and values of real estate particularly in Sullivan County. Collateral underlying certain real estate loans could lose value which could lead to future additions to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Foreclosed real estate consists of properties acquired through foreclosure or by acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These assets are recorded at the lower of fair value of the asset acquired less estimated costs to sell or “cost” (defined as the fair value at initial foreclosure). At the time of foreclosure, or when foreclosure occurs in-substance, the excess, if any, of the loan over the fair market value of the assets received, less estimated selling costs, is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses and any subsequent valuation write-downs are charged to other expense. Operating costs associated with the properties are charged to expense as incurred. Gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate are included in income when title has passed and the sale has met the minimum down payment requirements prescribed by GAAP.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk, as the majority of the assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. There have been no material changes in the Company’s interest rate risk position since December 31, 2008. Other types of market risk, such as foreign exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.
