Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and, accordingly, they are condensed and omit disclosures, which would substantially duplicate those contained in the most recent annual report to shareholders.  The financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and for the interim periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire calendar year.  The financial information as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes included in Communitycorp’s 2010 Annual Report.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact the accounting, reporting, and / or disclosure of financial information by the Company.

In July 2010, the Receivables topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) was amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20 to require expanded disclosures related to a company’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The amendments require the allowance disclosures to be provided on a disaggregated basis.  The Company is required to include these disclosures in its interim and annual financial statements.  See Note. 6.

Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) required by ASU 2010-20 were deferred by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in ASU 2011-01 issued in January 2011. In April 2011 the FASB issued ASU 2011-02 to assist creditors with their determination of when a restructuring is a TDR.   The determination is based on whether the restructuring constitutes a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties as both events must be present.

Disclosures related to TDRs under ASU 2010-20 will be effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011.

In April 2011, the criteria used to determine effective control of transferred assets in the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC was amended by ASU 2011-03.  The requirement for the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms and the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion were removed from the assessment of effective control.  The other criteria to assess effective control were not changed.  The amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 but are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

ASU 2011-04 was issued in May 2011 to amend the Fair Value Measurement topic of the ASC by clarifying the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and by changing particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The amendments will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 but are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Comprehensive Income topic of the ASC was amended in June 2011.  The amendment eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The amendment requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income and requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements.  The amendments will be applicable to the Company on January 1, 2012 and will be applied retrospectively.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 - RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain captions and amounts in the financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 were reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2011 presentation.

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accounting principles generally require that recognized income, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects are as follows:

         
Tax
       
   
Pre-tax
   
(Expense)
   
Net-of-tax
 
   
Amount

A total of ten available-for-sale securities were in a loss position at June 30, 2011, including one security that had been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more.  The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not in credit quality and considers these losses temporary.  The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized costs.  Management evaluates investment securities in a loss position based on length of impairment, severity of impairment and other factors.

The Company identifies impaired loans through its normal internal loan review process.  Loans on the Company’s problem loan watch list are considered potentially impaired loans.  These loans are evaluated in determining whether all outstanding principal and interest are expected to be collected.  Loans are not considered impaired if a minimal delay occurs and all amounts due including accrued interest at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay are expected to be collected.

The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the six months and year ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, was $7,787,247 and $8,512,074, respectively.

Nonaccrual loans were $4,403,484 and $4,805,658 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Interest income on impaired loans other than nonaccrual loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only as collected.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010, interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans was $16,913 and $30,674, respectively.  If the nonaccrual loans had been accruing interest at their original contracted rates, related income would have been $147,828 and $275,415 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

A summary of current, past due and nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

Loans are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The following definitions are utilized for risk ratings, which are consistent with the definitions used in supervisory guidance:

Special Mention - Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

 
13

 

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

The Company enters into financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. A commitment involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the instrument. Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.  Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a customer’s performance to a third party and have essentially the same credit risk as other lending facilities.

Collateral held for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments:

Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-bearing Deposits with Other Banks - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Federal Funds sold - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because these instruments typically have terms of one to seven days.

Time Deposits in other Banks - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Available-for-Sale - The fair values of securities available-for-sale equal the carrying amounts, which are the quoted market prices.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.

Securities Held to Maturity – securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates.  The fair values of securities held-to-maturity are based on quoted market prices.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.

Nonmarketable Equity Securities - The carrying amount of nonmarketable equity securities is a reasonable estimate of fair value since no ready market exists for these securities.

Loans Receivable – For certain categories of loans, such as variable rate loans which are repriced frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on the carrying amounts.  The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable - The carrying value of these instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 
15

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments - Fair values of off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value which requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).

Fair value is defined as the exchange in price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 -
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 -
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

 
16

 

Level 3 -
Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Securities Available for Sale - Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans - The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established.  Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned - Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded initially at estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. The initial recorded value may be subsequently reduced by additional allowances, which are charges to earnings if the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs declines below the initial recorded value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the hierarchy.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  The following table presents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, aggregated by level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

Impaired loans which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying value of $8,337,899 at June 30, 2011 with a valuation allowance of $410,063.  Impaired loans had a carrying value of $7,703,241 at December 31, 2010 with a valuation allowance of $373,484.

Other real estate owned, which is measured at the lower of carrying or fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying value of $2,985,528 and $2,764,189 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  There were no write downs of other real estate owned for the six months ended June 30, 2011 or for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company has no assets or liabilities whose fair values are measured using level 3 inputs.

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements.  Unrecognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.  Management has reviewed events occurring through the date the financial statements were issued and no subsequent events occurred that require accrual or disclosure.

Results of Operations

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011 we realized a net income of $193,574, or $0.83 per share compared to a net loss of $236,680, or $1.02 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011 we realized a net income of $370,471, or $1.59 per share compared to a net loss of $31,575, or $0.14 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The improvement in our net income for both periods is primarily attributable to the reduction in the amount we had to provide for loan losses during the current periods.

Net Interest Income

The largest component of total income is net interest income, the difference between the income earned on assets and the interest accrued or paid on deposits and borrowings used to support such assets. The volume and mix of assets and liabilities and their sensitivity to interest rate movement determine changes in net interest income. Net interest margin is determined by dividing annualized net interest income by average earning assets. Net interest spread is derived from determining the weighted-average rate of interest paid on deposits and borrowings and subtracting them from the weighted-average yield on earning assets.

Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, was $1,421,141, compared to $1,348,740 for the same period last year, an increase of $72,401, or 5.37%.  This increase is primarily attributable to the yield on our average earning assets declining 36 basis points while the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities declined by 48 basis points.  Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $2,789,248, compared to $2,806,378 for the same period last year, a decrease of $17,130, or 0.61%.  This slight decrease is due to our yield on our average earning assets, when comparing 2011 with 2010, declining 5 basis points more than cost of our average interest-bearing liabilities.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, average-earning assets totaled $148,112,153 with an annualized average yield of 4.87%.  Average earning assets and annualized average yield were $146,323,589 and 5.23%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, average earning assets totaled $147,349,688 with an annualized average yield of 4.89%.  Average earning assets and annualized average yield were $146,747,142 and 5.46%, respectively for the same period of 2010.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $124,870,335 with an annualized average cost of 1.21%. Average interest-bearing liabilities and annualized average cost were $132,657,863 and 1.69%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $124,445,096 with an annualized average cost of 1.27%. Average interest-bearing liabilities and annualized average cost were $131,894,540 and 1.78%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Our net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.85% and 3.66% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 3.70% and 3.54%, respectively for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  Our net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.82% and 3.62%, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to3.86% and 3.68%, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Details of the components of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Because loans often provide a higher yield than other types of earning assets, one of our goals is to maintain our loan portfolio as the largest component of total earning assets. Loans comprised approximately 68.64% and 77.49% of average earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 69.89% and 78.25%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Loan interest income was $1,574,644 and $1,685,719 for quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Loan interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $3,138,627 compared to $3,521,176 for the same period of 2010.  The annualized average yield on loans was 6.21% and 5.96% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The annualized average yield on loans was 6.15% and 6.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Average balances of loans decreased to $101,664,912 during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $11,723,810, or 10.34% from the average balance of $113,388,722 during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the average balances of loans decreased by $11,846,259, or 10.32% from the average balances of $114,831,290 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, to $102,985,031.  The increase in the annualized yield on loans for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010 is due mainly to the amount of interest charged off on loans that were placed in nonaccruing status during the second quarter of 2010.  Fixed rate loans averaged approximately 98% and 96% of our loan portfolio for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Investment securities averaged $30,651,927, or 20.7% of average earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $22,333,022, or 15.26%, of average earning assets, for the same period in 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, investment securities averaged $29,401,917, or 19.95% of average earning assets compared to $23,125,422, or 15.76%, of average earning assets, for the same period in 2010.  Interest earned on investment securities amounted to $212,624 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $199,274 for the same period of 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, interest earned on investment securities amounted to $410,532 compared to $413,857 for the same period last year.  Investment securities yielded 2.78% and 3.58% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 the yield on investment securities was 2.82% and 3.61%, respectively.

The largest component of interest expense is interest on deposit accounts.  Interest expense for deposit accounts for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $376,233 and $559,978 respectively.  Interest expense for deposit accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $780,820 and $1,165,237, respectively.  The average balance of interest bearing deposits decreased to $124,870,335 during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from $132,657,863 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011 the average balances of interest bearing deposits decreased to $124,445,096 from $131,894,247 for the same period in 2010.  The annualized average cost of deposits was 1.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 1.69% for the same period in 2010.  The annualized average cost of deposits was 1.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 1.78% for the same period in 2010.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, interest expense on other interest-bearing liabilities was insignificant.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

We have developed policies and procedures for evaluating the overall quality of our credit portfolio and the timely identification of potential problem credits.  On a quarterly basis, our Board of Directors reviews and approves the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses based upon management’s recommendations, the results of our internal monitoring and reporting system, and an analysis of economic conditions in our market.  The objective of management has been to fund the allowance for loan losses at a level greater than or equal to our internal risk measurement system for loan risk.

Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are expensed as the provision for loan losses on our statement of operations, are made periodically to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level based on management’s analysis of the potential risk in the loan portfolio.  Loan losses and recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowance.  The amount of the provision is a function of the level of loans outstanding, the level of nonperforming loans, historical loan loss experience, the amount of loan losses actually charged against the reserve during a given period, and current and anticipated economic conditions.

The allowance represents an amount which management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.  Our judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on a number of assumptions about future events, which we believe to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove to be accurate. Our determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on regular evaluations of the collectability of loans, including consideration of factors such as the balance of impaired loans, the quality, mix, and size of our overall loan portfolio, economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the amount and quality of collateral securing the loans, our historical loan loss experience, and a review of specific problem loans. We also consider subjective issues such as changes in our lending policies and procedures, changes in the local and national economy, changes in volume or type of credits, changes in the volume or severity of problem loans, quality of loan review and board of director oversight, concentrations of credit, and peer group comparisons.

More specifically, in determining our allowance for loan losses, we regularly review loans for specific and impaired reserves based on the appropriate impairment assessment methodology. Pooled reserves are determined using historical loss trends measured over a five-year average, adjusted for environmental risk, which is then applied to risk rated loans grouped by Federal Financial Examination Council (“FFIEC”) call code and segmented by impairment status. The pooled reserves are calculated by applying the appropriate historical loss ratio to the loan categories. Impaired loans greater than a minimum threshold established by management are excluded from this analysis. The sum of all such amounts determines our pooled reserves.

We track our portfolio and analyze loans grouped by FFIEC call code categories. The first step in this process is to risk grade each and every loan in the portfolio based on one common set of parameters. These parameters include items like debt-to-worth ratio, liquidity of the borrower, net worth, experience in a particular field and other factors such as underwriting exceptions. Weight is also given to the relative strength of any guarantors on the loan.

After risk grading each loan, we then segment the portfolio by FFIEC call code groupings, separating out substandard or impaired loans.  The remaining loans are grouped into “performing loan pools.”  The loss history for each performing loan pool is measured over a specific period of time to create a loss factor.  The relevant look back period is determined by the Bank, regulatory guidance, and current market events.  The loss factor is then applied to the pool balance and the reserve per pool calculated.  Loans deemed to be substandard but not impaired are segregated and a loss factor is applied to this pool as well.  Finally, impaired loans are segmented based upon size; smaller impaired loans are pooled and a loss factor applied, while larger impaired loans are assessed individually using the appropriate impairment measuring methodology.  Finally, certain qualitative factors are utilized to assess economic and other trends not currently reflected in the loss history. These factors include concentration of credit across the portfolio, the experience level of management and staff, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting practice, industry conditions and the current economic and business environment.  A quantitative value is assigned to each of the factors, which is then applied to the performing loan pools. Negative trends in the loan portfolio increase the quantitative values assigned to each of the qualitative factors and, therefore, increase the reserve.  For example, as general economic and business conditions decline, this qualitative factor’s quantitative value will increase, which will increase reserve requirement for this factor.  Similarly, positive trends in the loan portfolio, such as improvement in general economic and business conditions, will decrease the quantitative value assigned to this qualitative factor, thereby decreasing the reserve requirement for this factor.  These factors are reviewed and updated by our risk management committee on a regular basis to arrive at a consensus for our qualitative adjustments.

Periodically, we adjust the amount of the allowance based on changing circumstances. We recognize loan losses to the allowance and add subsequent recoveries back to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, on a quarterly basis we informally compare our allowance for loan losses to various peer institutions; however, we recognize that allowances will vary as financial institutions are unique in the make-up of their loan portfolios and customers, which necessarily creates different risk profiles for the institutions.  If our allowance was significantly different from our peer group, we would carefully review our assessment procedures again to ensure that all procedures were completed accurately and all environmental risk factors were thoroughly considered.  There can be no assurance that charge-offs of loans in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in time or that provisions for loan losses will not be significant to a particular accounting period, especially considering the overall weakness in the economic environment in our market areas.

Various regulatory agencies review our allowance for loan losses through their periodic examinations, and they may require additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Our losses will undoubtedly vary from our estimates, and it is possible that charge-offs in future periods will exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in time.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the allowance for loan losses was $1,913,210 and $2,156,137, respectively, a decrease of $242,927, or 11.27%, from the 2010 allowance.  However, as a percentage of total loans, the allowance for loan losses was 1.91% and 1.93% at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The decrease in the dollar amount of our allowance for loan losses was driven by the significant reduction of our loan portfolio, while we continue to charge off loan losses once they are identified.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the provision for loan losses was $313,000 and $846,000, respectively.  The provision for loan losses was $538,000 and $1,211,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The significant decline in the provision for both periods is largely attributable to the decline in our loan portfolio and our belief that the credit quality our loan portfolio is beginning to stabilize.  At June 30, 2011 and 2010, our loans totaled $100,357,304 and $111,873,551, respectively.

We believe the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2011, is adequate to meet potential loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and, as described earlier, maintain the flexibility to adjust the allowance should our local economy and loan portfolio either improve or decline in the future.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ending June 30, 2011 was $134,202 compared to $140,244 for the three months ending June 30, 2010.  For the six months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010 noninterest income was $270,152 and $280,997, respectively.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $982,469 and $976,915, respectively.  This represented an increase in noninterest expense of $5,554, or 0.57%. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $32,316 from $516,696 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $484,380 for the comparable period in 2011.  The net occupancy expense was $81,274, or $18,960 higher for the three months ended June 30, 2011 than for the same period in 2010.  Equipment expense increased $3,836 from $87,612 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $91,448 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, other operating expenses were $325,367, or $15,074, higher than the three months ended June 30, 2010.  This increase is mainly attributable to the increase in other real estate owned expenses, which increased $15,420.

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2,051,129 and $1,930,200, respectively.  This represented an increase of $120,929 or 6.27%.  Salaries and employee benefits decreased $28,221, from $1,010,799 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $982,578 for the comparable period in 2011.  The net occupancy expense was $146,262, or $21,017 higher for the six months ended June 30, 2011 than for the same period in 2010.  Equipment expense increased $1,235 from $180,993 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $182,228 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, other operating expense was $740,061 or $126,898, higher than the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in other operating expense is primarily attributable to the increase of $113,622 in other real estate owned expenses.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects an income tax expense of $66,300 and $99,800, respectively compared to an income tax benefit of $97,250 and $22,250, respectively for the comparable 2010 periods.  The change in our tax provision from a tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, to a tax expense for the comparable 2011 periods is due primarily to our net income (loss) before income taxes and the relationship of our tax exempt income to net income (loss) before taxes.

Assets and Liabilities

During the first six months of 2011, total assets increased $1,218,865 or 0.78%, when compared to December 31, 2010.  The balance of the federal funds sold was $1,775,000 at June 30, 2011 and $2,004,000 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $229,000 or 11.43%.  Total investment securities increased $4,308,323, or 15.63% from December 31, 2010 to $31,865,858 at June 30, 2011.  Gross loans decreased $4,940,380, or 4.69%, to $100,357,304at June 30, 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, total liabilities increased $510,556 or 0.37% and total deposits increased $607,376 or 0.44% from December 31, 2010.

For more analysis of the components of the changes in asset and liabilities, see the following discussion of major balance sheet categories and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

We closely monitor and seek to maintain appropriate levels of interest earning-assets and interest-bearing liabilities so that maturities of assets are such that adequate funds are provided to meet customer withdrawals and loan demand.

Loans

At June 30, 2011, our total loans were $100,357,304 compared to $105,297,684 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $4,940,380 or 4.69%.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately 98% and 99% of our loan portfolio consisted of fixed rate loans, respectively.  Balances within the major loans receivable categories as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

At June 30, 2011 real estate or other collateral secured practically all of the loans that were considered impaired.  In the event of foreclosure on these loans, there can be no assurance that in liquidation, the collateral can be sold for its estimated fair market value or even for an amount at least equal to or greater than the loan amount.

The results our internal review process and applying the allowance model methodology are the primary determining factors in management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Deposits

Deposits account for practically all of our interest bearing liabilities.  Total average deposits decreased from $146,584,533 for the first six months in 2010 to $138,762,438 for the first six months in 2011.  This represents a decrease of $7,821,995, or 5.34% from the 2010 amount.

The following table summarizes our average deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Our actual deposits at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $138,191,197 and $137,583,821, respectively, representing an increase of $607,376, or 0.44%.

Core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, provide a relatively stable funding source for our loan portfolio and other earning assets.  Our core deposits were $91,726,131 and $91,441,668 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  A stable base of deposits is expected to be our primary source of funding to meet both our short-term and long-term liquidity needs in the future.

Deposits, and particularly core deposits, have been our primary source of funding and have enabled us to meet successfully both our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.  We anticipate that such deposits will continue to be our primary source of funding in the future.  Our loan-to-deposit ratio was 72.62% and 76.53% on June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

We did not have any brokered deposits at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Liquidity

Liquidity needs are met by us through scheduled maturities of loans and investments on the asset side and through pricing policies on the liability side for demand deposit accounts and short-term borrowings.  The level of liquidity is measured by the loan-to-total funds ratio (total deposits plus short-term borrowings if any), which was 72.62% at June 30, 2011 and 76.53% at December 31, 2010.

Asset liquidity is provided from several sources, including amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Available-for-sale securities, particularly those maturing within one year, provide a secondary source of liquidity.  Additionally, funds from maturing loans are a source of liquidity.

At June 30, 2011 the Bank had available an unused short-term line of credit to purchase up to $10,000,000 of federal funds from unrelated correspondent institutions.  The Bank also has a credit availability agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling 15 percent of the Bank’s assets as of any quarter end.  As of June 30, 2011, the available credit totaled approximately $23,560,000 and there were no borrowings outstanding.  Any borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank will be secured by a blanket lien on all of the Bank’s 1-4 family residential first lien mortgage loans and or investment securities.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Interest rate sensitivity is defined as the exposure to variability in net interest income resulting from changes in market-based interest rates. Asset/liability management is the process by which we monitor and control the mix, maturities, and interest sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. Asset/liability management seeks to ensure adequate liquidity and to maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive assets and liabilities to minimize potentially adverse impacts on earnings from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity can be managed by repricing assets or liabilities, selling securities available-for-sale, replacing an asset or liability at maturity, or adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or liability. We believe that interest rate risk management becomes increasingly important in an interest rate environment and economy such as the one that we are currently experiencing.

We monitor interest rate sensitivity by measuring our interest sensitivity through a “gap” analysis, which is the positive or negative dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest rate repricing within a given time period.  Currently we are liability-sensitive over periods with maturity dates of less than twelve months.  However, since interest rates and yields on various interest sensitive assets and liabilities do not all adjust in the same degree when there is a change in prevailing interest rates (such as prime rate), the traditional gap analysis is only a general indicator of rate sensitivity and net interest income volatility. As stated in “Results of Operations for the Six Months ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 – Net Interest Income,” our net interest margin decreased during the current period. If the net interest margin were to continue decline, the net income will likely decline also.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $18,347,145 or 11.68% and $17,638,837 or 11.32%, respectively, of total assets.

The following table shows the return on average assets (net income divided by average total assets), return on average equity (net income divided by average equity), and equity to assets ratio (average equity divided by average total assets) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Bank holding companies, such as ours, and their banking subsidiaries are required by banking regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy, which are expressed in the form of certain ratios.  Capital is separated into Tier 1 capital (essentially common shareholders’ equity less intangible assets) and Tier 2 capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets).  The first two ratios, which are based on the degree of credit risk in our assets, provide the weighting of assets based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit.  The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%.  The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines.  Banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.

The following table summarizes the Bank’s various capital ratios at June 30, 2011and December 31, 2010:

   
June 30,
   
December 31,
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)
    17.19 %     15.23 %
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)
    18.44 %     16.49 %
Tier 1 capital (leverage ratio)
    11.34 %     11.15 %

The Federal Reserve Board has similar requirements for bank holding companies.  The Company is currently not subject to these requirements because the Federal Reserve guidelines contain an exemption for bank holding companies of less than $500,000,000 in consolidated assets.

Regulatory Matters

We are not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Through the operations of our Bank, we have made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of our business activities.  These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to our customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time.  At June 30, 2011, we had issued commitments to extend credit of $5,463,000 and standby letters of credit of $847,000 through various types of commercial lending arrangements.  We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the borrower.  Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have adopted various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2010 as filed in our annual report on Form 10-K.  Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities.  We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.  The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

We believe the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.  Refer to the portion of this discussion that addresses our allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting standards which have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Not applicable since we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

In addition, we reviewed our internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.
