Classification of marketable securities as current or non-current is dependent upon management’s intended holding period, the security’s maturity date and liquidity considerations based on market conditions. If management intends to hold the securities for longer than one year as of the balance sheet date, they are classified as non-current. At September 30, 2009, gross unrealized losses totaled approximately $19 million (pre-tax), while gross unrealized gains totaled approximately $4 million (pre-tax). At December 31, 2008, gross unrealized losses totaled approximately $30 million (pre-tax), while gross unrealized gains were not material. Gross unrealized losses related to auction rate securities totaled $11 million and $16 million (pre-tax) as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses on sales or maturities of marketable securities for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 were not material. Cost of securities sold or reclassified use the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Since these marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities, changes in fair value will flow through other comprehensive income, with amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income into earnings upon sale or “other-than-temporary” impairment.

 

3M has a diversified marketable securities portfolio of $1.216 billion as of September 30, 2009. Within this portfolio, current and long-term asset-backed securities (estimated fair value of $412 million) are primarily comprised of interests in automobile loans and credit cards. At September 30, 2009, the asset-backed securities credit ratings were AAA or A-1+, with the following exceptions: three securities rated AA with a total fair value of $23 million, one security rated A with a fair value of less than $1 million, and one security rated BBB with a fair value of less than $1 million. Historically, 3M’s marketable securities portfolio included auction rate securities that represented interests in investment grade credit default swaps, however, these have been written down to $6 million as of September 30, 2009. Since the second half of 2007, these auction rate securities failed to auction due to sell orders exceeding buy orders. Liquidity for these auction-rate securities is typically provided by an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at pre-determined intervals, usually every 7, 28, 35, or 90 days. The funds associated with failed auctions will not be accessible until a successful auction occurs or a buyer is found outside of the auction process. Based upon an analysis of “temporary” and “other-than-temporary” impairment factors, auction rate securities with an original par value of approximately $34 million were written-down to an estimated fair value of $1 million as of December 31, 2008 and adjusted to an estimated fair value of $6 million as of September 30, 2009. There are $11 million (pre-tax) of temporary impairments associated with auction rate securities at September 30, 2009, which were recorded as unrealized losses within other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2009, these investments have been in a loss position for more than 12 months. 3M recorded “other-than-temporary” impairment charges that reduced pre-tax income by approximately $8 million in the second quarter of 2008, $1 million in the first quarter of 2008, and $8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Refer to Note 10 for a table that reconciles the beginning and ending balances of auction rate securities.

 

3M reviews impairments associated with the above in accordance with the measurement guidance provided by ASC 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities, when determining the classification of the impairment as “temporary” or “other-than-temporary. In addition, as discussed in Note 1, beginning in April 2009, the Company considers the new accounting standard with respect to the determination of “other-than-temporary” impairments associated with investments in debt securities. A temporary impairment charge results in an unrealized loss being recorded in the other comprehensive income component of equity. Such an unrealized loss does not reduce net income for the applicable accounting period because the loss is not viewed as other-than-temporary. The factors evaluated to differentiate between temporary and other-than-temporary include the projected future cash flows, credit ratings actions, and assessment of the credit quality of the underlying collateral, as well as the factors included in the impairment model for debt securities included in the new standard relating to “other-than temporary” impairments, as described in Note 1.

 

The balances at September 30, 2009 for marketable securities by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

Of the $20 million in unrealized losses at September 30, 2009, $1 million arose within the last 12 months.  The market value of the investments that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and for 12 months and longer is $40 million and $42 million, respectively.  The market value of United States government obligations, government-sponsored enterprise obligations, and other debt securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2009, is $54 million.  The $3 million of unrealized losses associated with United States government obligations, government sponsored enterprise obligations and other debt securities are not considered to be other-than-temporary because the present value of expected cash flows to be collected is equivalent to or exceeds the amortized cost basis of the securities.  The market value of available-for-sale equity securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2009, is $28 million.  All of the $17 million in unrealized losses associated with available-for-sale equity securities is related to the Company’s investment in one security.  The Company does not intend to sell any of its impaired debt and equity securities, and, based upon its evaluation, the Company does not believe it is likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases which is expected in the foreseeable future.

Other-than-temporary impairment

Upon acquisition of a security, BNY Mellon decides whether it is within the scope of ASC 325 -Investments – Other or will be evaluated for impairment under the guidance within ASC 320. Subsequently, if the security is downgraded we do not alter this decision.

ASC 325 provides specific guidance for certain debt securities which are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. Specifically, ASC 325 provides incremental impairment guidance for a subset of the debt securities within the scope of ASC 320. For securities where there is no debt rating at acquisition, and the security is a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, BNY Mellon uses the ASC 325 impairment model. For securities where there is no debt rating at acquisition and the security is not a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets BNY Mellon uses the impairment model guidance under ASC 320.

We routinely conduct periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment security to determine whether OTTI has occurred. Economic models are used to determine whether an OTTI has occurred on these securities. While all securities are considered, the securities primarily impacted by OTTI testing are non-agency RMBS and HELOCs. For each non-agency RMBS in the investment portfolio (including but not limited to those whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis), an extensive, regular review is conducted to determine if an OTTI has occurred. Various inputs to the economic models are used to determine if an unrealized loss on non-agency RMBS is other-than-temporary. The most significant inputs are:

 

 

Default rate – the number of mortgage loans expected to go into default over the life of the transaction, which is driven by the roll rate of loans in each performance bucket that will ultimately migrate to default; and

 

Severity – the loss expected to be realized when a loan defaults

To determine if the unrealized loss for non-agency RMBS is other-than-temporary, we project total estimated defaults of the underlying assets (mortgages) and multiply that calculated amount by an estimate of realizable value upon sale in the marketplace (severity) in order to determine the projected collateral loss. We also evaluate the current credit enhancement underlying the bond to determine the impact on cash flows. If we determine that a given RMBS position will be subject to a write-down or loss, we record the expected credit loss as a charge to earnings.

In addition, we have estimated the expected loss by taking into account observed performance of the underlying securities, industry studies, market forecasts, as well as our view of the economic outlook affecting bond collateral.

The table below shows the projected weighted-average default rates and loss severities for the recent-vintage (i.e. 2007, 2006 and late 2005) non-agency RMBS portfolios at Sept. 30, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2008.

The HELOC portfolio holdings are regularly evaluated for potential OTTI. The HELOC securities credit enhancement is provided by a combination of excess spread, over-collateralization, subordination, and a note insurance policy provided by a monoline insurer. For the HELOC holdings, the rating is highly dependent upon the rating of the monoline insurance provider.

If a monoline insurer experiences a credit rating downgrade and it is determined that the monoline insurer may not be able to meet its obligations, the HELOC holdings guaranteed by that insurer are further evaluated based on the deal collateral and structure without the insurer guarantee. Potential losses are compared to the available total coverage provided by excess spread, over-collateralization and subordination for each bond to determine OTTI.

The following table provides the detail of securities portfolio losses. Securities losses in 2008 reflect mark-to-market (both credit and non-credit) impairment securities losses.

The following tables reflect investment securities credit losses recorded in earnings. The beginning balance represents the credit loss component for which OTTI occurred on debt securities in prior periods. The additions represent the first time a debt security was credit impaired or when subsequent credit impairments have occurred.

In conjunction with the restructuring of the investment securities portfolio, in the third quarter of 2009, we changed our intent to hold to maturity on $1.7 billion of securities included in the held-to-maturity classification and recorded mark-to-market losses, both credit and non-credit, on these securities in the income statement. These securities have experienced a decrease in the credit quality of the issuer or a significant increase in the risk-weight used for regulatory capital purposes.

Proceeds from the sales of available-for-sale debt securities was $1,151,199 for the six months ended September 30, 2009.  Gross realized gains on those sales for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $9,970.  For purposes of determining gross realized gains and losses, the cost of the securities is based on average cost.  Net unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale debt securities in the amount of $19,797 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 has been included in Stockholders’ equity:  Accumulated other comprehensive income.  The preceding table does not include the Company’s $16,600 investment in Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which is held at cost and described in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities at September 30, 2009, are as follows:

   
Estimated fair value
 
Within one year
  $ 1,330,604

5-10 years
    60,617  
After 10 years
    49,916  
    $ 1,859,280  

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call penalties.

The Company currently invests funds in variable rate demand notes that have major bank liquidity agreements, municipal bonds and notes, commercial paper including money market instruments, auction rate securities and bank floating rate notes.  Certain securities are subject to a hard-put option(s) where the principal amount is contractually assured by the issuer and any resistance to the exercise of these options would be deemed as a default by the issuer.  Such a potential default would be reflected in the issuer’s respective credit rating, for which the Company maintains investment grade requirements pursuant to its corporate investment guidelines.  While the Company believes its investments that have net unrealized losses are temporary, further declines in the value of these investments may be deemed other-than-temporary if the credit and capital markets were to continue to deteriorate in future periods. The Company does not have the intent to sell its investments and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the investments before the recovery of its cost basis.  Therefore, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired and will continue to monitor global market conditions to minimize the uncertainty of impairments in future periods.

We participate in a securities lending program where we loan certain investment securities for short periods of time in exchange for collateral, consisting of cash or U.S. Government securities, initially equal to at least 102% of the fair value of the investment securities on loan. Investment securities with a fair value of $187.8 million at September 30, 2009 and $437.1 million at December 31, 2008 were on loan. At September 30, 2009, all collateral from lending our investment securities was in the form of cash which has been reinvested in money market funds, certificates of deposit, and short-term corporate and asset-backed securities with an average maturity of approximately 244 days. These available for sale investment securities have an amortized cost basis and fair value of $188.3 million and $176.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2009, and $437.2 million and $402.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2008.

In April 2009, the FASB amended the other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities which we adopted for the period ended June 30, 2009. Under the new model, we recognize an impairment loss in income in an amount equal to the full difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value when we have the intent to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of our amortized cost basis. However, if we do not intend to sell the debt security, we evaluate the expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss has occurred. In the event of a credit loss, only the amount of the impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized currently in income with the remainder of the loss recognized in other comprehensive income. A transition adjustment to reclassify the non-credit portion of any previously recognized impairment from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income was required upon adoption if we did not intend to sell and it was not more likely than not that we would be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. We did not record a transition adjustment for securities previously considered other-than-temporarily impaired because these securities were already sold or we had the intent to sell these securities.

When we do not intend to sell a security in an unrealized loss position, potential OTTI is considered using a variety of factors, including the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; adverse conditions specifically related to the industry, geographic area or financial condition of the issuer or underlying collateral of a security; payment structure of the security; changes in credit rating of the security by the rating agencies; the volatility of the fair value changes; and changes in fair value of the security after the balance sheet date. For debt securities, we take into account expectations of relevant market and economic data. For example, with respect to mortgage and asset-backed securities, such data includes underlying loan level data and structural features such as seniority and other forms of credit enhancements. A decline in fair value is considered other-than-temporary when we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. We estimate the amount of the credit loss component of a debt security as the difference between the amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of future cash flows discounted at the implicit interest rate at the date of purchase.

Approximately 98% of our debt securities were investment-grade quality, with an average credit rating of AA+ by S&P at September 30, 2009. Most of the debt securities that are below investment-grade are rated BB or better, the higher end of the below investment-grade rating scale. At September 30, 2009, 20% of our tax-exempt municipal securities were pre-refunded, generally with U.S. government and agency securities, and 28% of our tax-exempt securities were insured by bond insurers and have an equivalent S&P credit rating of AA- exclusive of the bond insurers’ guarantee. Our investment policy limits investments in a single issuer and requires diversification among various asset types.

The largest amount of our unrealized losses at September 30, 2009 relate to our residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities. Factors such as seniority, underlying collateral characteristics and credit enhancements support the recoverability of these securities. Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities are primarily composed of senior tranches having high credit support, with 99% of the collateral consisting of prime loans. All commercial mortgage-backed securities are rated AAA at September 30, 2009.

All issuers of securities we own trading at an unrealized loss remain current on all contractual payments. After taking into account these and other factors previously described, we believe these unrealized losses primarily were caused by an increase in market interest rates and tighter liquidity conditions in the current markets than when the securities were purchased. As of September 30, 2009, we do not intend to sell the securities with an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income and it is not likely that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, and as a result, we believe that the securities with an unrealized loss are not other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2009.

For the purpose of determining gross realized gains and losses, which are included as a component of investment income in the consolidated statements of income, the cost of investment securities sold is based upon specific identification. The detail of realized gains (losses) related to investment securities and included with investment income was as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

There were no material other-than-temporary impairments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, net realized investment losses of $92.3 million and $73.4 million, respectively, included other-than-temporary impairments of $91.9 million and $93.1 million, respectively. The other-than-temporary impairments primarily were due to investments in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008, as well as declines in the values of securities primarily associated with the financial services industry.

The contractual maturities of debt securities available for sale at September 30, 2009, regardless of their balance sheet classification, are shown below.

9.    Marketable Securities and Other Investments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company received approximately $70.0 million in proceeds from the sale of certain marketable securities.  The Company recognized gross realizable gains of approximately $3.9 million and gross realizable losses of approximately $3.3 million from sales of marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  

At September 30, 2009, the Company’s investment in marketable securities was approximately $218.6 million which includes an aggregate unrealized gain of approximately $11.4 million relating to marketable equity security investments and an unrealized loss of approximately $23.1 million, which includes approximately $4.0 million in an unrealized loss due to foreign currency fluctuations, related to its investment in Valad Property Group convertible notes.  

For each of the equity securities in the Company’s portfolio with unrealized losses, the Company reviews the underlying cause of the decline in value and the estimated recovery period, as well as the severity and duration of the decline. In the Company’s evaluation, the Company considers its ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the Company to recover its cost basis.  

For marketable debt securities, the Company assesses current interest payments and the probability of the issuer’s ability to pay all amounts due under contractual terms. Additionally, in accordance with the FASB’s Investments-Debt and Equity Securities guidance, the Company assesses whether it has the intent to sell the debt security, whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery (for example, if its cash or working capital requirements or contractual or regulatory obligations indicate that the debt security will be required to be sold before the Company forecasted recovery occurs) and whether it does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis even if the entity does not intend to sell.

During June 2009, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of approximately $26.1 million due to the decline in value of certain marketable securities and other investments that were deemed to be other-than-temporary. Market value for the equity securities represents the closing price of each security as it appears on their respective stock exchange at the end of the period.

At September 30, 2009, marketable equity securities with unrealized loss positions for (i) less than twelve months had an aggregate unrealized loss of approximately $0.4 million and (ii) more than twelve months had an aggregate unrealized loss of less than $0.1 million.

The Company will continue to assess declines in value of its marketable securities on an on going basis.  Based on these assessments, the Company may determine that a decline in value for one or more of its investments may be other-than-temporary and would therefore write-down its cost basis accordingly.

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company did not recognize any impairments for other-than temporary declines in value, resulting in total impairments for the first nine months of 2009 of $2 for Shore Gold Inc. and $4 for other marketable equity securities. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company recognized impairments for other-than temporary declines in value of $26 for Shore Gold Inc. and $8 for other marketable securities, resulting in total impairments of $58 for Shore Gold Inc., $13 for Gabriel Resources Ltd. and $19 for other marketable securities for the first nine months of 2008.

The unrealized loss of $9 and $11 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, relates to the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities, auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper as listed in the tables above. While the fair values of these investments are below their respective cost, the Company views these declines as temporary. Generally, the Company’s policy is to treat a decline in a marketable equity security’s quoted market value that has lasted continuously for more than six months as an other-than-temporary decline in value. The fair values of these marketable equity securities have not been continuously below cost for the past six months. The Company intends to hold its investment in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper until maturity or such time that the market recovers and therefore considers these losses temporary.

In April 2009, the FASB amended the existing guidance on determining whether an impairment for investments in debt securities is other-than-temporary. The new guidance was effective for the Company’s third quarter of fiscal 2009 and resulted in a net after-tax increase to retained earnings and a corresponding decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $19 million primarily for the portion of other-than-temporary impairments recorded in earnings in previous periods on securities in the Company’s portfolio at March 30, 2009 that were related to factors other than credit and would not have been required to be recognized in earnings had the new guidance been effective for those periods.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in marketable securities at September 27, 2009 and September 28, 2008 were caused primarily by a prolonged disruption in global financial markets that included a deterioration of confidence and a severe decline in the availability of capital and demand for debt and equity securities. The result has been depressed securities values in most types of securities, including investment- and non-investment-grade debt obligations, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, equity securities, equity mutual and exchanged-traded funds and debt mutual funds. At September 27, 2009, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses were temporary. Further, for equity securities, equity mutual and exchange-traded funds and debt mutual funds with unrealized losses, the Company has the ability and the intent to hold such securities until they recover, which is expected to be within a reasonable period of time. For debt securities with unrealized losses, the Company does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, such securities before recovery or maturity.

12 VORNADO REALTY TRUST

18.    Marketable Securities

      At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had $4,099,000 of net unrealized gains and $2,061,000 of net unrealized losses, respectively, on our marketable equity securities.  During 2008, we concluded that certain of the investments in our marketable equity securities portfolio were “other-than-temporarily” impaired; accordingly, we recognized non-cash impairment charges, aggregating $20,881,000, of which $9,073,000 and $11,808,000 were recognized in the first and third quarters of 2008, respectively.  Our conclusions were based on the severity of the declines in the market value of those securities and our inability to forecast a recovery in the near-term.

  

The following table sets forth the details of our marketable securities:
