Held to Maturity Securities [Abstract]  
HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES

5. HELD-TO-MATURITY Securities

 

These are debt securities that Huntington has the intent and ability to hold until maturity. The debt securities are carried at amortized cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the interest method.

 

During the 2012 third quarter, Huntington transferred $278.7 million of federal agencies, mortgage-backed securities and other agency securities from the available-for-sale securities portfolio to the held-to-maturity securities portfolio. The securities were reclassified at fair value at the date of transfer. At the time of the transfer, less than $0.1 million of unrealized net gains were recognized in OCI.  The amounts in OCI will be recognized in earnings over the remaining life of the securities as an offset to the adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of the premium on the same transferred securities, resulting in an immaterial impact on net income.

 

Additionally, during the 2012 third quarter, Huntington purchased $734.7 million of federal agencies, mortgage-backed securities which were classified directly into the held-to-maturity portfolio.

 

 

Listed below are the contractual maturities (under 1 year, 1-5 years, 6-10 years, and over 10 years) of held-to-maturity securities at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Security Impairment

 

Huntington evaluates the held-to-maturity securities portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment. Impairment would exist when the present value of the expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. Under these circumstances, any OTTI would be recognized in earnings. As of September 30, 2012, Management has evaluated all held-to-maturity securities and concluded no OTTI existed in the portfolio.
