Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1:   Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company" or “Patapsco Bancorp”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Patapsco Bank (the “Bank"), the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries Prime Business Leasing, PFSL Holding Corp. and Patapsco Financial Services, Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 2:   The Patapsco Bank

The Bank, the primary operating unit of the Company, is regulated by The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the “Federal Reserve Bank") and The State of Maryland. The primary business of the Bank is to attract deposits from individual and corporate customers and to originate residential and commercial mortgage loans, consumer loans and commercial business loans. The Bank competes with other financial and mortgage institutions in attracting and retaining deposits and originating loans.

Note 3:   Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition at June 30, 2011, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the financial statements in conformity with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  However, all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.  For additional information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing.  A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses.  Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal.  Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.  Consumer loans are generally charged off after they become more than 90 days past due.  All other loans are charged off when management concludes that they are uncollectible.

The Company accounts for loans in accordance with ASC 310, “Receivables,” when due to a deterioration in a borrower’s financial position, the Company grants concessions that would not otherwise be considered.  Interest income is recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting, provided they are performing in accordance with their restructured terms and are considered collectible.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments.  The allowance represents an amount that, in the judgment of management, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on outstanding loans and leases that may become uncollectible.  The allowance represents an estimate made based upon two principles of accounting: (1) ASC Topic 450 “Contingencies”, that requires losses to be accrued when their occurrence is probable and estimable, and (2) ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” that requires losses be accrued when it is probable that the lender will not collect all principal and interest due under the original terms of the loan.  The adequacy of the allowance is determined through careful evaluation of the loan portfolio.  This determination is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates, including estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of the current economic environment and other qualitative factors that may be subject to change.  Loans and leases deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to it.  The level of the allowance is adjusted through the provision for loan losses that is recorded as a current period expense.  The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of loses inherent in its unfunded loan commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition.

The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes a specific allowance, a formula allowance and a nonspecific allowance. The specific allowance is for risk rated credits on an individual basis. The formula allowance reflects historical losses by credit category. The nonspecific allowance captures losses whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the specific allowance or the formula allowance.  The factors used in determining the nonspecific allowance include trends in delinquencies, trends in volumes and terms of loans, the size of loans relative to the allowance, concentration of credits, the quality of the risk identification system and credit administration and local and national economic trends.  These factors are applied to each segment of the loan portfolio and consider the characteristics contained thereof.  In response to comments received by our regulators during the most recent examination the Company has integrated the general portion of the allowance for loan losses into each individual loan category.  If circumstances differ materially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be affected.  Because events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that increases to the allowance will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above.  The change in methodology did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses.

Commercial Lending - The Company originates commercial loans primarily to businesses located in its primary market area and surrounding areas.  These loans are used for various business purposes which include short-term loans, lines of credit to finance machinery and equipment purchases, inventory, and accounts receivable.  Generally, the maximum term for loans extended on machinery and equipment is based on the projected useful life of such machinery and equipment.  Most business lines of credit are written on demand and may be renewed annually.

Commercial loans are generally secured with short-tem assets.  However, in many cases additional collateral such as real estate is provided as additional security for the loan.  Loan-to-value maximum values have been established by the Company and are specific to the type of collateral.  Collateral values may be determined using invoices, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging reports, collateral appraisals, collateral brokers price opinions (“BPO’s”), etc.

In underwriting commercial loans, an analysis of the borrower’s character, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral, as well as an evaluation of conditions affecting the borrower is performed.  Analysis of the borrower’s past, present, and future cash flows is also an important aspect of the Company’s analysis.

Commercial loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.

Commercial Real Estate Lending - The Company engages in commercial real estate lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas.  The Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio is secured primarily by commercial retail space, office buildings, and hotels.  Generally, commercial real estate loans have terms that do not exceed 20 years, have loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property, and are typically secured by personal guarantees of the borrowers.

In underwriting these loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property securing the loan.  Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.

Commercial Real Estate Construction Lending - The Company engages in commercial real estate construction lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas.  The Company’s commercial real estate construction lending consists of commercial and residential site development loans as well as commercial building construction and residential housing construction loans.

The Company’s commercial real estate construction loans are generally secured with the subject property.  Terms of construction loans depend on the specifics of the project, such as: estimated absorption rates, estimated time to complete, etc.

In underwriting commercial real estate construction loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the project using feasibility studies, market data, etc.  Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

Commercial real estate construction loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.

Residential Lending - One-to-four family residential loan originations are generated by the Company’s marketing efforts, its present customers, walk-in customers, and referrals.  These loans originate primarily within the Company’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.

The Company offers fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans with terms up to a maximum of 30 years for both permanent structures and those under construction.  The Company’s one-to-four-family residential originations are secured primarily by properties located in its primary market area and surrounding areas.  The majority of the Company’s residential loans originate with a loan-to-value of 80% or less.  Loans in excess of 80% are required to have private mortgage insurance.

In underwriting one-to-four family residential loans, the Company evaluates both the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments and the value of the property securing the loan.  Properties securing residential loans made by the Company are appraised by independent fee appraisers.  The Company generally requires borrowers to obtain an attorney’s title opinion or title insurance, as well as fire and property insurance (including flood insurance, if necessary) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan.  The Company has not engaged in subprime residential originations.

Consumer Lending - The Company offers a variety of secured and unsecured consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit, home equity loans, and loans secured by savings deposits primarily within the Company’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.

Home equity lines of credit are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 90% and a maximum term of 20 years.

In underwriting home equity lines of credit, a thorough analysis of the borrower’s willingness and financial ability to repay the loan as agreed is performed.  The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions, and credit background.  The analysis is based primarily on the customer’s ability to repay and secondarily on the collateral or security.

Home equity lines of credit and consumer loans secured by savings deposits generally present a lower level of risk than other types of consumer loans because they are secured by the borrower’s primary residence or deposit accounts held at the Company, respectively.

A loan is determined to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  A loan is not considered impaired during a period of insignificant delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including past-due interest.  The Company generally considers a period of insignificant delay in payment to include delinquency up to and including 90 days.  Impairment is measured through a comparison of the loan’s carrying amount to the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans are evaluated collectively for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual residential first and second mortgage loans and consumer installment loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss.  Loans classified special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If uncorrected, the potential weakness may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects.  Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristics that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable.  Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Loans not classified are rated pass.

Impaired loans are therefore generally comprised of commercial mortgage, real estate development, and certain restructured residential loans.  In addition, impaired loans are generally loans which management has placed in nonaccrual status since loans are placed in nonaccrual status on the earlier of the date that management determines that the collection of principal and/or interest is in doubt or the date that principal or interest is 90 days or more past-due.  The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis.  The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans does not differ from its overall policy for interest recognition.

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.  Based on management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Note 4:   Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” management has evaluated potential subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 5:   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2011-08 (Testing Goodwill for Impairment)

In September, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The purpose of this ASU is to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment by adding a new first step to the preexisting goodwill impairment test under ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and other.  This amendment gives the entity the option to first assess a variety of qualitative factors such as economic conditions, cash flows, and competition to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill has fallen below its carrying value. If the entity determines that it is not likely that the fair value has fallen below its carrying value, then the entity will not have to complete the original two-step test under Topic 350. The amendments in this ASU are effective for impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2011-05: Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income

The provisions of this Accounting Standards Update (ASU) amend ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” to facilitate the continued alignment of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with International Accounting Standards. The ASU prohibits the presentation of the components of comprehensive income in the statement of stockholder’s equity. Reporting entities are allowed to present either: a statement of comprehensive income, which reports both net income and other comprehensive income; or separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. Under previous GAAP, all 3 presentations were acceptable. Regardless of the presentation selected, the reporting entity is required to present all reclassifications between other comprehensive and net income on the face of the new statement or statements.

The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities. For nonpublic entities, the provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. As the two remaining options for presentation existed prior to the issuance of this ASU, early adoption is permitted.  Adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Standards Update 2011-04: Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs

This ASU amends ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, to bring U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements in line with International Accounting Standards. The ASU clarifies existing guidance for items such as: the application of the highest and best use concept to non-financial assets and liabilities; the application of fair value measurement to financial instruments classified in a reporting entity’s stockholder’s equity; and disclosure requirements regarding quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of level 3 assets. The ASU also creates an exception to Topic 820 for entities which carry financial instruments within a portfolio or group, under which the entity is now permitted to base the price used for fair valuation upon a price that would be received to sell the net asset position or transfer a net liability position in an orderly transaction. The ASU also allows for the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement if the financial instrument is categorized in level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Lastly, the ASU contains new disclosure requirements regarding fair value amounts categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy such as: disclosure of the valuation process used; effects of and relationships between unobservable inputs; usage of nonfinancial assets for purposes other than their highest and best use when that is the basis of the disclosed fair value; and categorization by level of items disclosed at fair value, but not measured at fair value for financial statement purposes.

For public entities, this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted.  Adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
Accounting Standards Update 2011-03: Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements
 
The ASU was issued to clarify the accounting principles applied to repurchase agreements, as set forth by FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” This ASU, entitled “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements,” amends one of three criteria used to determine whether or not a transfer of assets may be treated as a sale by the transferor. Under Topic 860, the transferor may not maintain effective control over the transferred assets in order to qualify as a sale. This ASU eliminates the criteria under which the transferor must retain collateral sufficient to repurchase or redeem the collateral on substantially agreed upon terms as a method of maintaining effective control.
 
This ASU is effective for both public and nonpublic entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and requires prospective application to transactions or modifications of transactions which occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted.  Adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

All mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations in the portfolio were comprised of securities issued by U.S. Government agencies.

Securities, issued by agencies of the federal government, with a carrying value of $6.3 million and $5.7 million on September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure the Company’s federal funds accommodation.  Securities, issued by agencies of the federal government, with a carrying value of $15.1 million on September 30, 2011 were pledged to secure the Company’s borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve’s discount window.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $3.3 million and $1.5 million in securities were sold at a gross gain of $73,000 and $67,000, respectively, using the specific identification method.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had ten securities in an unrealized loss position.  Unrealized losses detailed above relate to seven collateralized mortgage obligations, one U.S. Government Agency security, and two corporate bonds.  The declines in fair value are considered temporary and are primarily due to interest rate fluctuations.  The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the securities prior to their recovery.  None of the individual unrealized losses are significant.

The carrying amount of investment securities required by law, which includes Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stocks totals $2.1 million and $2.3 million at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively, and such securities are considered restricted as to marketability.  Management evaluates the Company’s restricted stock for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Accounting by Certain Entities (Including With Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance The Activities of Others.”  Management’s determination of whether this investment is impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.  The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the issuer as compared to the capital stock amount for the issuer and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the issuer to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the issuer, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the issuer.  The Company has concluded that the investment securities required by law are not impaired as of September 30, 2011.

Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio.  The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated.  Risks Ratings One through Three are deemed “acceptable”.  Four rated credits require a quarterly review, because potential weakness in some form may exist.  The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions.  The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification.  Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, may be on non-accrual, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected.   Loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard.  Loans in the Doubtful category are on non-accrual and have a definite loss of an undetermined amount.  The portion of any loan that represents a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight.  Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as a delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis.  Commercial Business Loans, Commercial Real Estate Loans, Construction Loans, Residential Mortgage Loans and Consumer Loans that are greater than 30 days past due are individually reviewed on a monthly basis and reported to the Board of Directors.  In addition, all Commercial Business, Commercial Real Estate, Construction Loans, Residential and Consumer Loans rated Four through Eight are evaluated with a detailed review, including plans for resolution, and presented to the Watch Committee quarterly.  Loans in the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful categories are evaluated for impairment and are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.  The Company engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews every twelve to eighteen months.  Generally, the external consultant randomly reviews relationships within the Commercial Business and Commercial Real Estate portfolios with an emphasis on loans over $500,000, concentrations, criticized assets, non-performing and Regulation O Loans.

As of September 30, 2011, charge-offs associated with troubled debt restructured loans while under a forbearance agreement totaled $250,000.  As of September 30, 2011, there were no defaulted troubled debt restructures as all troubled debt restructured loans were current with respect to their associated forbearance agreements.  Three forbearance agreements were negotiated during fiscal year 2009, two were negotiated during fiscal year 2010 and modified during fiscal year 2011, while three were negotiated in fiscal year 2011, prior to June 30, 2011.

There are forbearance agreements on all loans currently classified as troubled debt restructures.  The terms of these forbearance agreements vary whereby principal payments have been decreased, interest rates have been reduced, and/or the loan will be repaid as collateral is sold.

As a result of adopting the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02, the Company reassessed all troubled debt restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the current fiscal year of July 1, 2011, for identification as troubled debt restructurings.  The Company identified no loans for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance of credit losses methodology that are now considered troubled debt restructurings in accordance with Account Standards Updated No. 2011-02.

Note 8:   Junior Subordinated Debentures

On October 31, 2005, Patapsco Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a Connecticut statutory business trust and an unconsolidated wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $5 million of capital trust pass-through securities to investors. The interest rate is fixed for the first seven years at 6.465%.  Thereafter, the interest rate adjusts on a quarterly basis at the rate of the three month LIBOR plus 1.48%. Patapsco Statutory Trust I purchased $5,155,000 of junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures from the Company. The debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures are the same as the terms of the capital securities. The Company has also fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities. The capital securities are redeemable by the Company on or after October 31, 2010, at par.   The capital securities must be redeemed upon final maturity of the subordinated debentures on December 31, 2035.

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend interest payments on the trust preferred securities.  The Company’s Board of Directors took this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance.  The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled interest payments; however, the Company believes this decision will better support the capital position of The Patapsco Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  At September 30, 2011, cumulative unpaid interest totaled $490,000.  This amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 9:   Preferred Stock

On December 19, 2008, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program’s (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement, and the related Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”), with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), pursuant to which the Company issued (i) 6,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series A preferred stock”), and (ii) a warrant for the Treasury to purchase an additional $300,000 in preferred stock (“Series B preferred stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.

The Series A preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum until February 15, 2014.  Beginning February 15, 2014, the dividend rate will increase to 9% per annum.  Under the original terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is prohibited from redeeming the Series A preferred stock within the first three years unless it completed a qualified equity offering whereby it received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $6.0 million.  However, the provisions introduced by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 indicate that once the Company notifies Treasury that it would like to redeem the Series A preferred stock, the Treasury must permit the Company to do so subject to consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.  The Company will be subject to existing supervisory procedures for approving redemption requests for capital instruments.  The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond will weigh the Company’s desire to redeem the Series A preferred stock against the contribution of Treasury capital to the Company’s overall soundness, capital adequacy and ability to lend, including confirming that the Company has a comprehensive internal capital assessment process.

On December 19, 2008, Treasury exercised all of the warrants on the Series B preferred stock at the exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The Series B preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per annum.  The Series B preferred stock may not be redeemed until all the Series A preferred stock has been redeemed.

The Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Neither the Series A preferred stock nor the Series B preferred stock will be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer.

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend payment of regular quarterly cash dividends on the $6.0 million in Series A Preferred Stock and $300,000 in Series B Preferred Stock.  The Company’s Board of Directors took this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance.  The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled dividends on the preferred stock; however, the Company believes this decision will better support the capital position of The Patapsco Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  At September, 2011, cumulative unpaid dividends totaled $491,000.  This amount has not been accrued in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 12: Guarantees

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit issued by the Company.  Standby letters of credit are conditional written commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Generally, all letters of credit when issued have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  The Company, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments.  The Company had $1,421,000 of standby letters of credit as of September 30, 2011 and $1,421,000 outstanding as of June 30, 2011.  Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees.   The amount of the liability as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 13:  Core Deposit Intangible Asset

ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” requires that other acquired intangible assets with finite lives, such as purchased customer accounts, be amortized over their estimated lives.  Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 10 years.  The Company periodically assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of other intangible assets may be impaired.

Note 14: Share-Based Compensation
 
Stock Options
 
The Company's 1996 Stock Options and Incentive Plan (Plan) was approved by the stockholders at the 1996 annual meeting.  The Plan provides for the granting of options to acquire common stock to directors and key employees.  Option prices are equal or greater than the estimated fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant.  In October 1996, the Company granted options to purchase 137,862 shares at $4.60 per share.  There are no remaining options to be issued under this Plan.

The Company’s 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders at the 2000 annual meeting.  The Plan provides for the granting of options to acquire common stock to directors and key employees.  Option prices are equal or greater than the estimated fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant.
The Plan provides for one-fifth of the options granted to be exercisable on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant. Under this Plan, in August 2001 the Company granted options to purchase 99,975 shares at $6.29 per share.  There are 8,971 options eligible to be issued under this plan.

Stock Incentive Plan
 
In October 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.  Under this Plan, 90,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under a variety of awards.  An additional 40,146 shares were made available for issuance to settle past deferred compensation obligations.  This newer Plan replaced the Director’s retirement plan that became effective in September 1995.  At the time of adoption, the directors had the option to reallocate their deferred compensation assets.

In May 2009, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the directors deferred compensation portion of the Plan.  Accordingly, 57,255 deferred shares were distributed to the respective directors in May 2010, and are now included as issued shares.  The remaining portion of the Plan continues to remain in effect.  As of September 30, 2011 there are 10,000 non-vested shares outstanding under this Plan.

A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested shares as of September 30, 2011 is presented below:

As of September 30, 2011 there was $7,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation.  The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 32 months.  At grant date, vesting of the shares was “cliff” vesting at the end of either a two or three year period.  Compensation expense totaling $1,000 has been recognized in the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a result of these awards.

Note 15:  Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments” requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for certain on- and off- balance sheet financial instruments.  Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no market exists for
a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect estimates.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments is summarized as follows at:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Due from Banks, Interest Bearings Deposits with Banks and Federal Funds Sold
The statement of financial condition carrying amounts for cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold approximate the estimated fair values of such assets.

Securities Available for Sale
The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

 
21

 

Loans Receivable
Loans receivable were segmented into portfolios with similar financial characteristics.  Loans were also segmented by type such as commercial, commercial real estate, construction, residential and consumer.  The fair value of loans was calculated by discounting anticipated cash flows based on weighted average contractual maturity, weighted average coupon and market rates.

Impaired Loans
The Company considers loans to be impaired when it becomes probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  All non-accrual loans are considered impaired.  The measurement of impaired loans is based on the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or the fair value of the underlying collateral.  Collateral values are estimated utilizing methods such as appraisals or broker price opinions and taking into consideration the timing of the valuation, the nature of the collateral and such other information as is deemed appropriate.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  The fair value consists of the loan balances of $5.6 million and $5.2 million less their specific valuation allowances of $1.6 million and $1.2 million as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 310 “Receivables” at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure and Other Repossessed Assets
Real estate acquired through foreclosure and other repossessed assets are initially recorded at the estimated fair value, net of estimated selling costs, and subsequently at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair value is determined utilizing third party appraisals, broker price opinions or other similar methods.  Fair value is updated at least annually and more often if circumstances dictate.

Securities required by Law
The carrying amount of securities required by law approximates its fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposits
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing deposits, interest bearing NOW accounts and statement savings accounts, is equal to the carrying amounts.  The fair value of certificates of deposit was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.  The discount rate for certificates of deposit was estimated using market rates.

Long-Term Debt and Junior Subordinated Debentures
The fair value of long-term debt and junior subordinated debentures was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows, using market rates.

Accrued Interest Payable
The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, including mortgage loan commitments, undisbursed lines of credit on commercial business loans and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to various degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.  The fair values of such commitments are immaterial.

The disclosure of fair value amounts does not include the fair values of any intangibles, including core deposit intangibles.  Core deposit intangibles represent the value attributable to total deposits based on an expected duration of customer relationships.

 
22

 

The Company complies with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines the concept of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  ASC Topic 820 applies only to fair value measurements required or permitted under current accounting pronouncements, but does not require any new fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants as of the measurement date.  The statement also expands disclosures about financial instruments that are measured at fair value and eliminates the use of large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets.  The disclosure’s emphasis is on the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect of the measurement on earnings for the period.

ASC Topic 820 clarifies how an entity would determine fair value in an inactive market and 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.  ASC Topic 820 provides additional guidance in determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased.  It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.  ASC Topic 820 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.  This guidance 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 guidance 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.

The Company has an established and documented process for determining fair values.  Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available.  If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based on fair value models that use market participant or independently sourced market data, which include discount rate, interest rate yield curves, prepayment speeds, bond ratings, credit risk, loss severities, default rates, and expected cash flow assumptions.  In addition, valuation adjustments may be made in the determination of fair value.  These fair value adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, creditworthiness, liquidity, and other unobservable inputs that are applied consistently over time.  These adjustments are estimates and therefore, subject to management’s judgment, and at times, may be necessary to mitigate the possibility of error or revision in the estimate of the fair value provided by the model.  The Company has various controls in place to ensure that the valuations are appropriate, including review and approval of the valuation models, benchmarking, comparison to similar products, and reviews of actual cash settlements.  The methods described above may produce fair value calculations that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  While the Company believes its valuation methods are consistent with other financial institutions, the use of different methods or assumptions to determine fair values could result in different estimates of fair value.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements.  The valuation hierarchy is based on the inputs used to value the particular asset or liability at the measurement date.  The three levels are defined as follows:
 
·
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
·
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices of identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
·
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Each financial instrument’s level assignment within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement for that particular category.

There were no transfers of assets between fair value Level 1 and Level 2 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

The Company's results of operations depend primarily on its level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and junior subordinated debentures.  The net interest income earned on interest-earning assets ("net interest margin") and the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities have a significant impact on net interest income.  The Company's net interest margin is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan and deposit flows.  The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis, than its interest-bearing liabilities.  The Company's results of operations are also significantly impacted by the amount of its non-interest income, including loan fees and service charges, and levels of non-interest expense, which consists principally of compensation and employee benefits, insurance premiums, professional fees, equipment expense, occupancy costs, advertising, data processing and other operating expenses.

The Company's operating results are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, in particular, changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions taken by regulatory authorities.  Lending activities are influenced by general economic conditions, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds.  Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, account maturities and the level of personal income and savings in the Company's market area.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Form 10-Q, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company's market area, competition and the Risk Factors described in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the industry in which it operates.  Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the consolidated financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments.  Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are necessary when financial instruments are required to be recorded at fair value or when the decline in the value of an asset carried on the statement of financial condition at historic cost requires an impairment write-down or a valuation reserve to be established.

The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) represents an amount, that in the judgment of management, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on outstanding loans and leases that may become uncollectible.  The allowance represents an estimate made based upon two principles of accounting: (1) ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies”, that requires losses to be accrued when their occurrence is probable and estimable, and (2) ASC 310, “Receivables”, that requires losses be accrued when it is probable that the lender will not collect all principal and interest due under the original terms of the loan.  The adequacy of the allowance is determined through careful evaluation of the loan portfolio.  This determination is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates, including estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of the current economic environment that may be subject to change.  Loans and leases deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to it.  The level of the allowance is adjusted through the provision for loan losses that is recorded as a current period expense.

The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes a specific allowance, a formula allowance and a nonspecific allowance. The specific allowance is for risk rated credits on an individual basis. The formula allowance reflects historical losses by credit category. The nonspecific allowance captures losses whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the specific allowance or the formula allowance.  The factors used in determining the nonspecific allowance include trends in delinquencies, trends in volumes and terms of loans, the size of loans relative to the allowance, concentration of credits, the quality of the risk identification system and credit administration and local and national economic trends.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 310, the Company determines and recognizes impairment of certain loans.  A loan is determined to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  A loan is not considered impaired during a period of insignificant delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including past-due interest.  The Company generally considers a period of insignificant delay in payment to include delinquency up to and including 90 days.  ASC Topic 310 requires that impairment in a loan be measured at the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

ASC Topic 310 is generally applicable for all loans except large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are evaluated collectively for impairment, including residential first and second mortgage loans and consumer installment loans.  Impaired loans are therefore generally comprised of commercial mortgage, real estate development, and certain restructured residential loans.  In addition, impaired loans are generally loans which management has placed on non-accrual status since loans are placed on non-accrual status on the earlier of the date that management determines that the collection of principal and/or interest is in doubt or the date that principal or interest is 90 days or more past-due.

Management believes that the allowance is adequate.  However, its determination requires significant judgment, and estimates of the probable losses in the loan and lease portfolio can vary significantly from amounts that actually occur.

Real estate acquired through foreclosure and other repossessed assets are initially recorded at the estimated fair value, net of estimated selling costs, and subsequently at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Costs relating to holding such property are charged against income in the current period, while costs relating to improving such real estate are capitalized until a salable condition is reached.

Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are acquired as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, loan demand, changes in prepayment risk and other factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses based on the difference between amortized cost and fair value, reported net of deferred tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification method, are included as a separate component of non-interest income. Related interest and dividends are included in interest income.  Declines in the fair value of individual securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value through either a charge to earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income depending upon the nature of the loss.  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.  Other factors affecting the determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred include a downgrading of the security by a rating agency or a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer.

Deferred income taxes are reported for temporary differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes.  Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability method.  Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in an institution’s income tax returns.  Deferred tax assets are deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards.  After the deferred tax asset has been measured using the applicable enacted tax rate and provisions of the enacted tax law, it is then necessary to assess the need for a valuation allowance.  A valuation allowance is needed when, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  As required by GAAP, available evidence is weighted heavily on cumulative losses with less weight placed on future projected profitability.  Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income of the appropriate character in the period during which deductible temporary differences reverse or within the carryback and carryforward periods available under tax law.  Based upon the available evidence, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $2.2 million at June 30, 2011.   Subsequent to recording this valuation allowance, the deferred tax asset balance was zero at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011.  The deferred tax provision for the year is equal to the net change in the net deferred tax asset from the beginning to the end of the year, less amounts applicable to the change in value related to investments available for sale.  The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011

The Company’s assets decreased $8.6 million to $256.0 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $264.6 million at June 30, 2011.  Net loans declined $2.1 million or 1.1% to $180.5 million at September 30, 2011 from $182.6 million at June 30, 2011.  Growth in residential mortgage loans of $1.1 million was more than offset by decreases in commercial mortgages of $1.3 million, construction loans of $601,000, consumer loans of $338,000 and commercial business loans of $982,000.  Such decreases were due primarily to soft loan demand.

Securities available for sale decreased $962,000 to $38.9 million at September 30, 2011 from $39.8 million at June 30, 2011 as maturities of $4.0 million, sales of $3.3 million and pay-downs of the mortgage-backed securities of $1.6 million, as well as the decline in loan balances, were replaced by new purchases of investment securities of $8.0 million.

Real estate acquired through foreclosure increased $247,000 to $1.9 million as of September 30, 2011 as there were six properties totaling $410,000 in additions and $151,000 that sold at a $12,000 loss.

Total deposits declined $5.3 million, or 2.3%, to $226.0 million at September 30, 2011 from $231.3 million at June 30, 2011.  Interest-bearing deposits decreased $4.4 million, or 2.0%, to $216.5 million at September 30, 2011 from $220.8 million at June 30, 2011.  Noninterest-bearing deposits declined $908,000 to $9.6 million at September 30, 2011.  Long-term debt declined $3.0 million to $9.0 million at September 30, 2011 from $12.0 million at June 30, 2011.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $232,000 from $14.4 million at June 30, 2011 to $14.6 million at September 30, 2011 primarily reflecting the earnings during the current year-to-date period.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010

Net Income. The Company recorded net income available to common shareholders of $128,000, or $0.07 per common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to net income of $10,000, or $0.01 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The improvement in earnings in the current quarter was the result of improvement in net interest income as the impact of a lower cost of funds more than offset the negative impact of the shift in earnings assets from loans to investments.  In addition, income tax expense was zero in the current quarter as The Company fully reserved for deferred tax assets at June 30, 2011.  Accordingly, taxes on the current quarter’s earnings were offset by a reversal of the related portion of this reserve.

Net Interest Income.  The Company’s net interest income increased by $45,000, or 2.2%, to $2.14 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.09 million for the same quarter in 2010.  The slight increase in net interest income during the comparable three-month period was due to a 9 basis point improvement in the net interest margin from 3.31% in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to 3.40% in the current quarter, which was almost completely offset by a $13.9 million decline in average loans.  The increase in the net interest margin was the result of the lower cost of deposits and borrowings.

 Interest Income.  Total interest income decreased by $296,000, or 9%, to $3.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The decreases in interest income during the three month period was due to lower rates of interest earned in addition to a lower level of earning assets.  The impact of lower market interest rates in the current three month period had a negative effect on the yields on earning assets.  In addition, a shift in the mix of earning assets from loans to lower yielding investments and a decline in the yield on loans negatively affected the yield on average earning assets.

 Interest income on loans receivable decreased by $349,000, or 11%, to $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $3.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The decreases in interest income on loans for the quarter was due to lower yields as well as lower average loan balances.  The lower yields were due to the decline in market interest rates mentioned above.  The lower loan volumes were due to a continued drop in loan demand over the previous year.

 Interest income on investment securities, including investments required by law, increased $54,000, or 26%, to $260,000 in the three month period ended September 30, 2011, as the increase in volumes for the respective periods more than offset the declines in the yield over the same periods.

Interest income on federal funds sold and other investments was flat at $13,000, in the three month period ended September 30, 2011.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased by $341,000, or 28%, to $872,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.    The decline in interest expense during the comparable three month periods was due to lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as well as a lower volume of borrowings.

Interest expense on deposits decreased by $264,000, or 28%, to $685,000 in the current quarter from $949,000 in the previous year’s comparable quarter.  The decrease in interest expense on deposits in the quarterly periods was due to a decline in rates paid on deposits.  The lower rates paid on deposits reflect the lower rate environment in the current periods as well as a continued moderation of the competitive pressures.

Interest expense on long-term borrowings decreased $77,000, or 29%, to $187,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  The decreases in interest expense in the comparable three month periods were due to lower average balances outstanding.

Average Balance, Interest and Average Yields and Rates

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and cost of liabilities for the periods and at the dates indicated.  Dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, derives such yields and costs for the periods presented.  Average balances are derived from daily balances.

The table also presents information for the periods indicated with respect to the Company’s net interest margin, which is net interest income divided by the average balance of interest earning assets.  This in an important indicator of commercial bank profitability.  The net interest margin is affected by yields on interest-earning assets, the costs of interest-bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.  Another indicator of the Company’s net interest income is the interest rate spread, or the difference between the average yield on interest earning assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses.  Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by management to provide for loan losses.  The components of the allowance for loan losses represent an estimation done pursuant to either ASC Topic 450 and ASC 310.  The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined through a continuous review of the loan portfolio and considers factors such as prior loss experience, type of collateral, industry standards, amount and type of past due loans in the Company’s loan portfolio, current economic conditions, both national and local, and other factors unique to particular loans and leases in the portfolio.  The Company’s management periodically monitors and adjusts its allowance for loan losses based upon its analysis of the loan portfolio.

The provision for loan losses was $323,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to $304,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The Company’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.22% as of September 30, 2011 versus 2.25% at June 30, 2011.  Patapsco Bancorp’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 41.4% at September 30, 2011 as compared to 42.2% at June 30, 2011.  Setting the allowance at this level takes into consideration that 95% of non-performing loans are collateralized by real estate at September 30, 2011.  In consideration of the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses, downward adjustments were made to values established by real estate appraisals, where warranted, taking into consideration the age of the appraisal and the nature of the collateral.  These adjusted appraisal values, which required management’s judgment, were used to develop estimated losses and related specific loss reserves within the allowance for loan losses.  The Company has concluded, after a thorough analysis of the nonperforming loan portfolio, watch list loans, delinquencies and other factors, that the allowance is adequate at September 30, 2011.

Nonaccrual status denotes loans on which, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is unlikely.  Payments received on a nonaccrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan.  Of the $9,882 and $9,946 of non-accrual loans, $8,161 and $5,324 were considered troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Other nonperforming assets represent property acquired through foreclosure or repossession.

           At September 30, 2011, non-accrual construction loans totaled $1.8 million and consisted of a $1.2 million commercial land development loan and a $564,000 residential land development loan.  Non-accrual commercial real estate loans include a $1.8 million strip shopping center loan, $1.1 million residential investment loan, $857,000 warehouse building loan, and $789,000 in mixed use commercial mortgage loans.  Non-accrual commercial loans include a $2.5 million loan supporting a borrower’s various business interests including commercial properties.

 Noninterest Income.  The Company’s non-interest income consists of deposit fees, service charges, income from bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and gains.  Total non-interest income increased by $12,000, or 5.0%, to $252,000 in the three month period ended September 30, 2011 due to a $3,000 increase in deposit service fees and $6,000 more in gains on the sale of securities available for sale in the current quarter.

 Noninterest Expenses. Total non-interest expenses decreased by $18,000, or 1.0%, to $1.84 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $1.86 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Compensation costs decreased $66,000, or 6.7%, as staff costs were lower due to staff reductions and open positions.  Federal deposit insurance assessments were $43,000 lower due to lower rates that went into effect April 1, 2011.  These declines were partially offset by increases in professional fees and provision for losses on and cost of real estate acquired through foreclosure.  Professional fees were $69,000, or 50%, higher due to legal costs associated with increased foreclosure activity.  The provision for losses on and cost of real estate acquired through foreclosure increased $34,000 to $64,000 in the current quarter from $30,000 in the previous year’s quarter.

Income Taxes.  Income tax expense was zero versus a tax expense of $62,000 (or 36.7% of pre-tax income) for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Income tax expense was zero in the current quarter as the Company fully reserved for its deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2011.  Accordingly, taxes on the current quarter’s earnings were offset by a reversal of the related portion of this reserve.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

An important component of the Company's asset/liability structure is the level of liquidity available to meet the needs of customers and creditors. The Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee has established general guidelines for the maintenance of prudent levels of liquidity. The Committee continually monitors the amount and source of available liquidity, the time to acquire it and its cost. Management of the Company seeks to maintain a relatively high level of liquidity in order to retain flexibility in terms of investment opportunities and deposit pricing. Because liquid assets generally provide lower rates of return, the Company's relatively high liquidity will, to a certain extent, result in lower rates of return on assets.

The Company's most liquid assets are cash on hand and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold, which are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2011, the Company's cash on hand and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits totaled $23.6 million. In addition, the Company has approximately $38.9 million of investment securities classified as available for sale, $15.1 million of which are pledged as collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank’s discount window and $6.3 million of which are pledged as collateral for the Company’s federal funds line of credit.

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments of $10.3 million and unused lines of credit of $9.4 million. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year at September 30, 2011 totaled $40.5 million. Historically, a high percentage of maturing deposits have remained with the Company.

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from maturing investment securities and mortgage-backed securities and principal and interest payments on loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of mortgage-backed securities and loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and other factors.

The Company, as the holding company for the Bank, has an annual cash requirement of approximately $654,000 for the payment of preferred dividends, as well as, interest payments on the $5.0 million in junior subordinated debentures. The only source of funds for the holding company is dividends from the Bank.  The amount of dividends that can be paid to the holding company from the Bank is limited by the earnings of the Bank.

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly cash dividends on the $6.0 million in Series A Preferred Stock and $300,000 in Series B Preferred Stock.  The Company’s Board of Directors took this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance.  The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled dividends on the preferred stock; however, the Company believes this decision will better support the capital position of The Patapsco Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend interest payments on the trust preferred securities.  The Company’s Board of Directors took this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance.  The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled interest payments; however, the Company believes this decision will better support the capital position of The Patapsco Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
