( 1 ) these losses were recognized as a component of oci ; see note 12 . we conduct periodic reviews to evaluate each security that is impaired . impairment exists when the current fair value of an individual security is below its amortized cost basis . for debt securities available for sale and held to maturity , other-than-temporary impairment is recorded in our consolidated statement of income when management intends to sell ( or may be required to sell ) securities before they recover in value , or when management expects the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to be less than the amortized cost of the impaired security ( a credit loss ) . our review of impaired securities generally includes : 2022 the identification and evaluation of securities that have indications of possible other-than-temporary impairment , such as issuer-specific concerns including deteriorating financial condition or bankruptcy ; 2022 the analysis of expected future cash flows of securities , based on quantitative and qualitative factors ; 2022 the analysis of the collectability of those future cash flows , including information about past events , current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts ; 2022 the analysis of individual impaired securities , including consideration of the length of time the security has been in an unrealized loss position and the anticipated recovery period ; 2022 the discussion of evidential matter , including an evaluation of factors or triggers that could cause individual securities to be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired and those that would not support other-than-temporary impairment ; and 2022 documentation of the results of these analyses . factors considered in determining whether impairment is other than temporary include : 2022 the length of time the security has been impaired; .
