CFS BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.  The September 30, 2012 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company’s condensed consolidated statement of condition as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated statement of condition as of that date.
 
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments, or assumptions that could have a material effect on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities.  These estimates, judgments, and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided.  The determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuations and impairments of investment securities, and the accounting for income tax expense are highly dependent on management’s estimates, judgments, and assumptions where changes in any of these could have a significant impact on the financial statements.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CFS Bancorp, Inc. (the Company), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Financial Bank (the Bank), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CFS Holdings, LTD and WHCC, LLC.  All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain items in the condensed consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

2.
Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Restricted stock shares which have not vested and shares held in Rabbi Trust accounts are not considered to be outstanding for purposes of calculating basic EPS.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the average number of common shares outstanding during the year and includes the dilutive effect of stock options, unearned restricted stock awards, and treasury shares held in Rabbi Trust accounts pursuant to deferred compensation plans.  The dilutive common stock equivalents are computed based on the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period.

We evaluate all investment securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic conditions warrant additional evaluations, for determining if an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists pursuant to guidelines established in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320-10, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.  Current accounting guidance generally provides that if a marketable security is in an unrealized loss position, whether due to general market conditions or industry or issuer-specific factors, the holder of the investment securities must assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.

In management’s belief, the decline in value of the Company’s investment in collateralized mortgage obligations is minimal and primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates and macroeconomic conditions affecting liquidity and not necessarily the expected cash flows of the individual investment securities.  The fair value of these investment securities is expected to recover as macroeconomic conditions improve, interest rates rise, and the investment securities approach their maturity date.

At September 30, 2012, the Company’s pooled trust preferred investment securities consisted of “Super Senior” securities backed by senior securities issued mainly by bank and thrift holding companies.  Due to the structure of the securities, as deferrals and defaults on the underlying collateral increase, cash flows are increasingly diverted from mezzanine and subordinate tranches to pay down principal for the “Super Senior” tranches.  In management’s belief, the continued decline in value is primarily attributable to macroeconomic conditions affecting the liquidity of these securities and not necessarily the expected cash flows of the individual securities. The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date.

Unrealized losses on collateralized mortgage obligations and pooled trust preferred investment securities have not been recognized in income because management does not have the intent to sell these securities and has the ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, which may be at maturity.  We may, from time to time, dispose of an impaired security in response to asset/liability management decisions, future market movements, business plan changes, or if the net proceeds could be reinvested at a rate of return that is expected to recover the loss within a reasonable period of time.  The Company concluded that the unrealized losses that existed at September 30, 2012 did not constitute other-than-temporary impairments.

5.   Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level management believes is appropriate in relation to the estimated risk inherent in the loan portfolio.  The allowance for loan losses represents the Company’s estimate of probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio at each statement of condition date and is based on the review of available and relevant information.

The first component of the allowance for loan losses contains allocations for probable incurred losses that we have identified relating to impaired loans pursuant to ASC 310-10, Receivables.  The Company individually evaluates for impairment all loans classified substandard and over $375,000 to enable management to identify potential losses over a larger cross section of the loan portfolio.  We also individually evaluate for impairment all loans for which we have initiated foreclosure proceedings. For all portfolio segments, loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the borrower will not be able to fulfill its obligation according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The impairment loss, if any, is generally measured based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.  As a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent.  A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the repayment of the loan will be provided solely by the underlying collateral and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.  If management determines a loan is collateral-dependent, management will charge-off any identified collateral shortfall against the allowance for loan losses.

15


If foreclosure is probable, the Company is required to measure the impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.  The fair value of the collateral is generally obtained from the evaluation of the collateral, and one of the methods of evaluation is an independent third-party appraisal. When current appraisals are not available, management utilizes other evaluation methods to estimate the fair value of the collateral giving consideration to several factors including for real estate properties the price at which individual unit(s) could be sold in the current market, the period of time over which the unit(s) could be sold, the estimated cost to complete the unit(s), the risks associated with completing and selling the unit(s), the required return on the investment a potential acquirer may have, and the current market interest rates.  The analysis of each loan involves a high degree of judgment in estimating the amount of the loss associated with the loan, including the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values.
 
The second component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses contains allocations for probable incurred losses within various pools of loans with similar characteristics pursuant to ASC 450-10, Contingencies.  This component is based in part on certain loss factors applied to various stratified loan pools excluding loans evaluated individually for impairment.  In determining the appropriate loss factors for all portfolio segments, management considers historical charge-offs and recoveries; levels of and trends in delinquencies, impaired loans, and other classified loans; concentrations of credit within the commercial loan portfolios; volume and type of lending; and current and anticipated economic conditions.

Loan losses for all portfolio segments are charged-off against the allowance when the loan balance or a portion of the loan balance is no longer covered by the repayment capacity of the borrower based on an evaluation of available and projected cash resources and collateral value. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance.  The Company assesses the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and adjusts the allowance for loan losses by recording a provision for loan losses in an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance at a level deemed appropriate by management.  The evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as additional information becomes available or as future events occur.  To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, an additional provision for loan losses could be required which could adversely affect earnings or the Company’s financial position in future periods.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial and Industrial Loans (C&I)

C&I loans are primarily based on the identified historic and/or the projected cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.  The cash flows of borrowers, however, do fluctuate based on changes in the company’s internal and external environment including management, human and capital resources, economic conditions, competition, regulation, and product innovation/obsolescence.  The collateral securing these loans may also fluctuate in value and generally has advance rates between 50-80% of the collateral value.  Most C&I loans are secured by business assets being financed such as equipment, accounts receivable, and/or inventory and generally incorporate a secured or unsecured personal guarantee.  Occasionally, some loans may be made on an unsecured basis.  In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable and/or inventory, the collateral securing the advances is generally monitored through a borrowing base certificate submitted by the borrower which may identify deterioration in collateral value.  The ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers may be affected by its customers’ economic and financial condition.  The availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on each of the factors described above.


16


Commercial Real Estate – Owner Occupied, Non-Owner Occupied, and Multifamily

These types of commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate.  Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent upon the cash flows from the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the cash flows from the owner occupied business conducted on the property securing the loan.  A borrower’s business and/or the property securing the loan may be adversely affected by business conditions generally, and fluctuations in the real estate markets or in the general economy, which if adverse, can negatively affect the borrowers’ ability to repay the loan.  The value and cash flow of the property can be influenced by changes in market rental rates, changes in interest rates or investors’ required rates of return, the condition of the property, zoning, or environmental issues.  The properties securing the commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and are generally located in the Chicagoland/Northwest Indiana market.  Owner occupied loans are generally a borrower purchased building where the borrower occupies at least 51% of the space with the primary source of repayment dependent on sources other than the underlying collateral.  Non-owner occupied and single tenant properties may have higher risk than owner occupied loans since the primary source of repayment is dependent upon the ability to lease out the collateral as well as the financial stability of the businesses occupying the collateral.  Multifamily loans can also be impacted by vacancy/collection losses and tenant turnover due to generally shorter term leases or even month-to-month leases.  Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loan portfolio concentrations based upon cash flow, collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria.  As a general rule, management avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors mitigate the credit risk to an acceptable level.  The Company’s loan policy generally requires lower loan-to-value ratios against these types of properties.

Commercial Construction and Land Development Loans

Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisals, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, presale or prelease/Letters of Intent analysis, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners.  Construction loans are generally based on the estimated cost to construct and cash flows associated with the completed project or stabilized value.  These estimates are subjective in nature and if erroneous, may preclude the borrower from being able to repay the loan.  Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent on the success of the completed project.  These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions, the ability to sell the property, and the availability of long-term financing.

Commercial Participation Loans

Participation loans generally have larger principal balances, portions of which are sold to multiple participant banks in order to spread credit risk.  The collateral securing these loans is often real estate and is often located outside of the Company’s geographic footprint.  Loans outside of the Company’s geographical footprint pose additional risk due to the lack of knowledge of general economic conditions where the project is located along with various project specific risks regarding buyer demand and project specific risks regarding project competition risks.  The participant banks are required to underwrite these credits utilizing their own internal analysis techniques
and their own credit standards.  However, the participant banks are reliant upon the information about the borrowers and the collateral provided by the lead bank.  These loans carry higher levels of risk due to the participant banks being dependent on the lead bank for monitoring and managing the credit relationship, including the workout and/or foreclosure process should the borrower default.


17


Retail Loans

The Company’s retail loans include one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, retail construction, and other consumer loans.  Management has established a maximum loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 80% for one-to-four family residential mortgages and home equity loans and lines of credit that are secured by a first or second mortgage on owner and non-owner occupied residences.  Loan applications exceeding 80% LTV require private mortgage insurance (PMI) from a mortgage insurance company deemed acceptable by management.  Residential construction loans are underwritten to the same standards and generally require an end loan financing commitment either from the Company or another financial institution acceptable to the Company.  Other consumer loans are generally small dollar auto and personal loans based on the credit score and income of the applicant.  These loans are homogeneous in nature and are rated in pools based on similar characteristics.

The following tables present the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

The Company, as a matter of good risk management practices, utilizes objective loan grading matrices to assign risk ratings to all commercial loans.  The risk rating criteria is supported by core credit attributes that emphasize debt service coverage and guarantor support.  The loan grading matrices are designed to remove subjective criteria and bias from the grading analysis. Retail loans are rated pass until they become 90 days or more delinquent, transferred to non-accrual status, and generally rated substandard.  The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass.  Loans that meet the conservative underwriting guidelines that include core credit attributes noted above as measured by the loan grading matrices at levels that are in excess of the minimum amounts required to adequately service the loans.

Pass Watch.  Loans which are performing per their contractual terms and are not necessarily demonstrating signs of credit or operational weakness.  A credit will generally be graded as Pass Watch due to a nonrecurring event that has caused a decrease in a cash flow source, a potential future event that could impair the cash flow or repayment of the loan, or lack of current financial information needed to review the credit. Loans in this category are monitored by management for timely payments.  This rating is considered transitional because management does not have current financial information to determine the appropriate risk grade or the quality of the loan appears to be changing.  Loans may be graded as pass watch when a single event may have occurred that could be indicative of an emerging issue or indicate trending that would warrant a change in the risk rating.

Special Mention.  Loans that have a potential weakness that will be closely monitored by management.  A credit graded special mention does not expose the Company to elevated risk that would warrant an adverse classification.

Substandard.  Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower, guarantor, or the collateral pledged.  Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined

21


weakness or weaknesses, characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful.  Loans that have the same weaknesses as 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.

The Company’s loans receivable portfolio is summarized by risk rating category as follows:

For all loan categories, past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.  Interest income is generally not accrued on loans which are delinquent 90 days or more, or for loans which management believes, after giving consideration to a number of factors, including economic and business conditions and collection efforts, collection of interest is doubtful.  In all cases, loans are transferred to non-accrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  All interest accrued but not received for loans transferred to non-accrual status is reversed against interest income.  Interest subsequently received on non-accrual loans is accounted for using the cost-recovery basis for commercial loans and the cash-basis for retail loans until qualifying for return to accrual status.
 

23


Commercial loans are generally transferred to non-accrual status once they become 90 days past due.  Management reviews all current financial information of the borrower and guarantor(s) and action plans to bring the loan current before determining if the loan should be transferred to non-accrual status.  Management requires appropriate justification to maintain a commercial loan on accrual status once 90 days past due.  Occasionally, commercial loans are transferred to non-accrual status before the loan becomes significantly past due if current information indicates that future repayment of principal and interest may be doubtful.
 
Commercial loans are returned to accrual status when management, based on a thorough analysis of the borrower, can expect the full repayment of principal and interest. The analysis will reflect the borrower’s capacity to service the debt and/or the guarantor’s ability and willingness to make the required debt service payments, either under the original note agreement and terms, or, in the case of an A/B note structure, under the terms of the new A note. Analysis may also include the proceeds from the disposition of the collateral as a potential repayment source based upon the net realizable value of the property.

In addition, a note may be considered for return to accrual status when payments (equal to or greater than those required in the final A note structure) have been made by the borrower for a minimum of six months and the borrower is in compliance with all other terms of the applicable agreement.
 
Retail loans are returned to accrual status primarily based on the payment status of the loan.  A retail loan is automatically transferred to non-accrual status immediately upon becoming 90 days past due.  The loan remains on non-accrual status, with interest income recognized on a cash basis when a payment is made, until the loan is paid current.  Once current, the loan is automatically returned to accrual status.  If management identifies other information to indicate that future repayment of the loan balance may still be questionable, the loan may be manually tranferred to non-accrual status until management determines otherwise.
 
The Company’s loan portfolio delinquency status and its non-accrual loans are presented in the following tables at the dates indicated. The Company’s loans that are current and in non-accrual status include loans that have been restructured as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) and have not yet met the required six months of payments under the restructured terms to be returned to accrual status.

The Company may grant a concession or modification for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider resulting in a modified loan which is then identified as a TDR.  The Company may modify loans through rate reductions, short-term extensions of maturity, interest only payments, or payment modifications to better match the timing of cash flows due under the modified terms with the cash flows from the borrowers’ operations.  Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral.  TDRs are considered impaired loans for purposes of calculating the Company’s allowance for loan losses.
 

28


The Company identifies loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports.  Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.

For one-to-four family residential loans and home equity lines of credit, a restructure often occurs with past due loans and may be offered as an alternative to foreclosure.  There are other situations where borrowers, who are not past due, experience a sudden job loss, become over-extended with credit obligations, or other problems, have indicated that they will be unable to make the required monthly payment and request payment relief.
 
When considering a loan restructure, management will determine if:  (i) the financial distress is short or long term; (ii) loan concessions are necessary; and (iii) the restructure is a viable solution.

When a loan is restructured, the new terms often require a reduced monthly debt service payment. For commercial loans, management completes an analysis of the operating entity’s ability to repay the debt.  If the operating entity is capable of servicing the new debt service requirements and the underlying collateral value is believed to be sufficient to repay the debt in the event of a future default, the new loan is generally placed on accrual status.  To date, there have been no commercial loans restructured and immediately placed on accrual status after the execution of the TDR.
 
For retail loans, an analysis of the individual’s ability to service the new required payments is performed.  If the borrower is capable of servicing the newly restructured debt and the underlying collateral value is believed to be sufficient to repay the debt in the event of a future default, the new loan is generally placed on accrual status.  The reason for the TDR is also considered, such as paying past due real estate taxes or payments caused by a temporary job loss, when determining whether a retail TDR loan could be returned to accrual status.  Retail TDRs remain in non-accrual status until sufficient payments have been made to bring the past due principal and interest current, at which point the loan would be transferred to accrual status.
 
The following tables summarize the loans that have been restructured as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

At September 30, 2012, TDRs totaled $26.6 million, of which $2.7 million were performing in accordance with their agreements and in non-accrual status.


30


Management monitors the TDRs based on the type of modification or concession granted to the borrower.  These types of modifications may include rate reductions, payment/term extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, and other applicable actions.  Of the various noted concessions, management predominantly utilizes rate reductions and lower monthly payments, either from a longer amortization period or interest only repayment schedule, because these concessions provide needed payment relief without risking the loss of principal.  Management will also agree to a forbearance agreement when it is deemed appropriate to avoid foreclosure. The following tables set forth the Company’s TDRs by portfolio segment to quantify the type of modification or concession provided:

6.   Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures fair value according to ASC 820-10: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques, but not the valuation techniques themselves.  The fair value hierarchy is designed to indicate the relative reliability of the fair value measure.  The highest priority is given to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest to unobservable data such as the Company’s internal information.  ASC 820-10 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.”  There are three levels of inputs into the fair value hierarchy (Level 1 being the highest priority and Level 3 being the lowest priority):
 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers or assumptions are unobservable and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets by level within the fair value hierarchy that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated.

Level 1 investment securities are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.  The Company uses Level 1 prices for its GSE preferred stock.

Level 2 investment securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry utilizing observable inputs.  The pricing provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary based on asset class.  These models incorporate available market information including quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics and, because many fixed-income investment securities do not trade on a daily basis, apply available information through processes such as benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like investment

33


securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing.  In addition, model processes, such as an option adjusted spread model, are used to develop prepayment estimates and interest rate scenarios for investment securities with prepayment features.

Management uses a recognized third-party pricing service to obtain market values for the Company’s fixed-income securities portfolio.  Documentation is maintained as to the methodology and summary of inputs used by the pricing service for the various types of securities, and management notes that the servicer maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.  Management does not have access to all of the individual specific assumptions and inputs used for each security.  The significant observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications.

Management validates the market values against fair market curves and other available pricing sources. Bloomberg pricing is used to compare the reasonableness of the third-party pricing service prices for U.S. Treasury securities and GSE bonds.  For all securities, the Company’s Investment Officer, who is in the market on a regular basis, monitors the market and is familiar with where similar securities are trading and where specific bonds in specific sectors should be priced.  All monthly output from the third-party provider is reviewed against expectations as to pricing based on fair market curves, ratings, coupon, structure, and recent trade reports or offerings.

Based on management’s review of the methodology and summary of inputs used, management has concluded these assets are properly classified as Level 2 assets.

Fair value determinations for Level 3 measurements of securities are the responsibility of the Company’s Investment Officer with review and approval by the Asset/Liability Management Committee. Level 3 models are utilized when quoted prices are not available for certain investment securities or in markets where trading activity has slowed or ceased.  When quoted prices are not available and are not provided by third-party pricing services, management judgment is necessary to determine fair value.  As such, fair value is determined using discounted cash flow analysis models, incorporating default rate assumptions, estimations of prepayment characteristics, and implied volatilities.

The Company determined that Level 3 pricing models should be utilized for valuing its pooled trust preferred investment securities.  The markets for these securities and for similar securities at September 30, 2012 were illiquid.  There have been a limited number of observable transactions in the secondary market, however, a new issue market does not exist.  Management has determined a valuation approach that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs is more representative of fair value than the market approach valuation technique.

For its Level 3 pricing model, the Company uses externally produced fair values provided by a third-party pricing service and compares them to other external pricing sources. Other external sources provided similar prices, both higher and lower, than those used by the Company.  The external model uses observed prices from limited transactions on similar securities to estimate liquidation values.

Loans for which it is probable that the Bank will not collect all principal and interest due according to their contractual terms are measured for impairment.  Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans.  If the impaired loan is identified as collateral-dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. Impaired loans that are collateral-dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.


35


When the Bank determines a loan is collateral-dependent, the Bank’s Asset Management Committee (AMC) obtains appraisals on the underlying collateral securing the loan. The Senior Credit Officer (SCO) reviews the appraisals for accuracy and consistency. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by the SCO with input from the Bank’s Loan Committee. For purchased participation loans, management is dependent upon the lead bank to order and provide appraisals, which occasionally are broker’s opinions.
 
In determining the estimated fair value of the real estate, senior liens such as unpaid and current real estate taxes and any perfected liens are subtracted from the appraised value.  In addition, the Company generally applies a 10% discount to the current appraisal to allow for reasonable selling expenses, including sales commissions and closing costs.  

Fair value measurements for impaired loans are performed pursuant to ASC 310-10, Receivables, and are measured on a non-recurring basis.  Certain impaired loans were partially charged-off or re-evaluated during the third quarter of 2012.  These impaired loans were carried at fair value as estimated using current and prior appraisals, discounting factors, the borrowers’ financial results, estimated cash flows generated from the property, and other factors.  The change in the fair value of impaired loans that were valued based upon Level 3 inputs was approximately $650,000 and $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $2.3 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  These losses are not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), but rather as a component in determining the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  These adjustments to the estimated fair value of impaired loans may result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses recorded in future earnings.

The estimated fair value of other real estate owned is based on current or prior appraisals, less estimated costs to sell of 10%. Other real estate owned is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Appraisals of other real estate owned are obtained when the real estate is acquired and subsequently as deemed necessary by the AMC. The SCO reviews the appraisals for accuracy and consistency. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by the SCO with input from the Bank’s Loan Committee. The reduction in fair value of other real estate owned was $1.0 million and $316,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and $1.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  The changes were recorded as adjustments to current earnings through other real estate owned related expenses.

The value of the pooled trust preferred securities is determined using multiple pricing models or similar techniques from third-party sources as well as significant unobservable inputs such as judgment or estimations by the Company in the weighting of the models. The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment in pooled trust preferred securities are offered quotes and comparability adjustments. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, changes in either of those inputs will not affect the other input.

The Company has the option to measure financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the Fair Value Option) according to ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments.  The Company is not currently engaged in any hedging activities and, as a result, did not elect to measure any financial instruments at fair value under ASC 825-10.

Disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate their value, whether or not recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of condition, is summarized below and identified within the fair value hierarchy at the dates indicated.  The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, and advance payments by borrowers.  Investment securities fair values are based on quotes received from a third-party pricing source and discounted cash flow analysis models.  The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is based on its redemption value.  The fair values for loans receivable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. Cash flows are adjusted for estimated prepayments, where appropriate, and are discounted using interest rates currently being offered by the Bank for loans with similar terms and collateral to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of loans held for sale is the amount funded and approximates fair value due to the insignificant time between origination and date of sale.
 
The fair value of core deposits (checking, savings, and money market accounts) is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered by the Bank for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  The fair value of borrowed funds is estimated based on rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.  The fair value of the Company’s off-balance sheet instruments, including lending commitments, letters of credit, and credit enhancements, approximates their book value and is not included in the above table.

7.
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation.  ASC 718-10 addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights.  ASC 718-10 requires all share-based payments to be recognized as expense, based upon their fair values, in the financial statements over the service period of the awards.


38


For additional details on the Company’s share-based compensation plans and related disclosures, see “Note 9.  Share-Based Compensation” in the consolidated financial statements as presented in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
 
The Company’s 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (Equity Incentive Plan) authorized the issuance of 270,000 shares of its common stock.  In addition, there were 64,500 shares that had not yet been issued or were forfeited, canceled, or unexercised at the end of the option term under the 2003 Stock Option Plan when it was frozen.  These shares and any other shares that may be forfeited, canceled, or expired are available for any type of share-based awards in the future under the Equity Incentive Plan.  At September 30, 2012, shares available for future grants under the Equity Incentive Plan totaled 209,501 shares.

The compensation expense related to restricted stock for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 totaled $45,000 and $81,000, respectively.  The compensation expense related to restricted stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 totaled $115,000 and $226,000, respectively. At September 30, 2012, the remaining unamortized cost of the restricted stock awards was reflected as a reduction in additional paid-in capital and totaled $572,000.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years, which is subject to the actual number of shares earned and vested.

Stock Options
 
The Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan allows for the grant of both incentive and non-qualified stock options to directors, officers, and employees.  The stock option vesting periods and exercise and expiration dates are determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant.  The exercise price of the stock options is equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.

For stock options outstanding at September 30, 2012, the range of exercise prices was $4.40 to $14.76, and the weighted-average remaining contractual term was 1.9 years.  At September 30, 2012, 387,795 of the Company’s outstanding stock options were fully vested and out-of-the-money with no intrinsic value.  The remaining 20,000 stock options were not yet exercisable and were in-the-money with an intrinsic value of $21,200, which represents the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last day of trading for the third quarter of 2012 and the exercise price multiplied by the number of in-the-money options, assuming all option holders had exercised their stock options on the last day of trading for the same period. Stock option expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $3,000 and $9,000, respectively. There was no stock option expense for the comparable 2011 periods. There were no stock options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  The Company reissues treasury shares to satisfy option exercises.

interest income; non-interest expense; interest rate environment; and other factors.   For further discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements see “Part I. Item 1A.  Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.  We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements unless required to do so under the federal securities laws.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), which require us to establish various accounting policies. Certain of these accounting policies require us to make estimates, judgments, or assumptions that could have a material effect on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. The estimates, judgments, and assumptions we use are based on historical experience, projected results, internal cash flow modeling techniques, and other factors which we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant accounting policies are presented in “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our December 31, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in other financial statement notes and in this management’s discussion and analysis, provide information on the methodology used for the valuation of significant assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We view critical accounting policies to be those that are highly dependent on subjective or complex judgments, estimates, and assumptions, and where changes in those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. We currently view the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuations and impairments of investment securities, and the accounting for income taxes to be critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses. We maintain our allowance for loan losses at a level we believe is appropriate to absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio at each statement of condition date and is based on our review of available and relevant information.

The first component of the allowance for loan losses contains allocations for probable incurred losses that management has identified relating to impaired loans pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-10, Receivables. We individually evaluate for impairment all loans classified substandard and over $375,000 to enable management to identify potential losses over a larger cross section of the loan portfolio.  We also individually evaluate for impairment all loans for which we have initiated foreclosure proceedings. For all portfolio segments, loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the borrower will not be able to fulfill its obligation according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The impairment loss, if any, is generally measured based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.  As a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent.  A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the repayment of the loan will be provided solely by the underlying collateral and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.  If we determine a loan is collateral-dependent, we will charge-off any identified collateral shortfall against the allowance for loan losses.


41


If foreclosure is probable, we are required to measure the impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.  The fair value of the collateral is generally obtained from the evaluation of the collateral, and one of the methods of evaluation is an independent third-party appraisal. When current appraisals are not available, we utilize other evaluation methods to estimate the fair value of the collateral giving consideration to several factors including for real estate properties the price at which individual unit(s) could be sold in the current market, the period of time over which the unit(s) could be sold, the estimated cost to complete the unit(s), the risks associated with completing and selling the unit(s), the required return on the investment a potential acquirer may have, and the current market interest rates.  The analysis of each loan involves a high degree of judgment in estimating the amount of the loss associated with the loan, including the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values.

The second component of our allowance for loan losses contains allocations for probable incurred losses within various pools of loans with similar characteristics pursuant to ASC 450-10, Contingencies. This component is based in part on certain loss factors applied to various stratified loan pools excluding loans evaluated individually for impairment. In determining the appropriate loss factors for these loan pools, we consider historical charge-offs and recoveries; levels of and trends in delinquencies, impaired loans, and other classified loans; concentrations of credit within the commercial loan portfolios; volume and type of lending; and current and anticipated economic conditions. Our historical charge-offs are determined by evaluating the net charge-offs over the most recent eight quarters, including the current quarter. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2010, we evaluated our net charge-offs by using the four calendar years preceding the current year.

Loan losses are charged-off against the allowance when the loan balance or a portion of the loan balance is no longer covered by the repayment capacity of the borrower based on an evaluation of available and projected cash resources and collateral value. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance. We assess the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and adjust the allowance for loan losses by recording a provision for loan losses in an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance at a level deemed appropriate by management. The evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as additional information becomes available or as future events occur. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from our estimates, an additional provision for loan losses could be required which could adversely affect earnings or our financial position in future periods.

Investment Securities. Under ASC 320-10, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, investment securities must be classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. We determine the appropriate classification at the time of purchase. The classification of investment securities is significant since it directly impacts the accounting for unrealized gains and losses on investment securities. Debt investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when we have the positive intent and the ability to hold the investment securities to maturity. Investment securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income and do not affect earnings until realized. Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is carried at cost. We have no trading account investment securities.

The fair values of our investment securities are generally determined by reference to quoted prices from reliable independent sources utilizing observable inputs. Certain of the fair values of investment securities are determined using models whose significant value drivers or assumptions are unobservable and are significant to the fair value of the investment securities. These models are utilized when quoted prices are not available for certain investment securities or in markets where trading activity has slowed or ceased. When quoted prices are

42


not available and are not provided by third-party pricing services, our judgment is necessary to determine fair value. As such, fair value is determined using discounted cash flow analysis models, incorporating default rates, estimation of prepayment characteristics, and implied volatilities.

We evaluate all investment securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic conditions warrant additional evaluations, for determining if an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists pursuant to guidelines established in ASC 320-10. In evaluating the possible impairment of investment securities, consideration is given to many factors including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, the financial conditions and near-term prospects of the issuer, and management’s ability and intent to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, we may consider whether the investment securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies or government sponsored agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

If we determine that an investment experienced an OTTI, we must then determine the amount of the OTTI to be recognized in earnings. If we do not intend to sell the investment security and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the investment security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period loss, the OTTI will be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the OTTI related to other factors will be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings will become the new amortized cost basis of the investment. If we intend to sell the investment security or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the investment security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the OTTI will be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. Any recoveries related to the value of these investment securities are recorded as an unrealized gain (as other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity) and not recognized in income until the investment security is ultimately sold. From time to time, we may dispose of an impaired investment security in response to asset/liability management decisions, future market movements, business plan changes, or if the net proceeds can be reinvested at a rate of return that is expected to recover the loss within a reasonable period of time.

Income Tax Accounting. We file a consolidated federal income tax return. The provision for income taxes is based upon income in our consolidated financial statements, rather than amounts reported on our income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on our deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

Under U.S. GAAP, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning our evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, our forecasts of future income, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of current and future economic and business conditions. Positive evidence includes current positive earning trends, the existence of taxes paid in

43


available carryback years, and the probability that taxable income will continue to be generated in future periods, while negative evidence includes any cumulative losses in the current year and prior two years and general business and economic trends.

At September 30, 2012, based on the results of our regular assessment of the ability to realize our deferred tax assets, we concluded that, based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, approximately $6.5 million of our deferred tax assets did not meet the “more likely than not” threshold for realization. Although realization of the remaining net deferred tax assets of $13.8 million is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that all of the recorded deferred tax assets will be realized based on available tax planning strategies and our projections of future taxable income. The positive evidence considered in our analysis of the remaining deferred tax assets included our long-term history of generating taxable income; the cyclical nature of the industry in which we operate; the fact that a portion of the losses realized in 2011 were partly attributable to syndicated/participation lending which we stopped investing in during 2007; our history of fully realizing net operating losses, including the federal net operating loss from a $45.0 million taxable loss in 2004; and the relatively long remaining tax loss carryforward periods (19 years for federal income tax purposes, ten years for the state of Indiana, and eight years for the state of Illinois). The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during tax loss carryforward periods are reduced. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record an additional valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, which would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.

Positions taken in our tax returns may be subject to challenge upon examination by the taxing authorities. The benefit of an uncertain tax position is initially recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Such tax positions are both initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Differences between our position and the position of taxing authorities could result in a reduction of a tax benefit or an increase to a tax liability, which could adversely affect our future income tax expense.

We believe our tax policies and practices are critical accounting policies because the determination of our tax provision and current and deferred tax assets and liabilities have a material impact on our results of operations and the carrying value of our assets. We believe our tax assets and liabilities are adequate and are properly recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2012.

The following discussion and analysis presents the more significant factors affecting our financial condition as of September 30, 2012 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report.

Our problem asset resolution efforts have reduced our level of non-performing assets by 24% during the third quarter of 2012. We have been resolving individual credits by seeking to either restructure specific non-performing loans or foreclose, obtain title, and transfer the loan to other real estate owned where management can take control of and liquidate the underlying collateral. Our ratio of non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 5.19% at September 30, 2012 from 6.41% at December 31, 2011, primarily due to transfers back to accrual

45


status of $9.8 million of commercial real estate A-Note troubled debt restructurings that were performing for at least six months; a $1.7 million paydown of a non-accrual commercial participation loan; and $5.6 million of commercial real estate loans transferred to other real estate owned, of which $3.7 million was also sold during the quarter. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets decreased to 4.83% at September 30, 2012 compared to 5.63% at December 31, 2011.

During the third quarter of 2012, we recorded net income of $1.3 million, or $.12 per diluted share, an increase from net income of $394,000, or $.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011.  Our earnings were favorably impacted by a $217,000, or 2.4%, decrease in non-interest expense to $9.0 million from $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2011 as we continue to reduce non-interest expense. Excluding credit related costs totaling $1.2 million, non-interest expense decreased to $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2012 from $8.5 million from the third quarter of 2011. These decreases were related to a significant decrease in compensation and employee benefit expense due to our Voluntary Early Retirement Offering (VERO) announced in the first quarter of 2012, the March 31, 2012 branch closings in Bolingbrook and Orland Park, Illinois, the outsourcing of certain support functions, and lower professional fees. The number of full time equivalent (FTE) employees decreased to 259 at September 30, 2012 from 303 at December 31, 2011 and 311 at September 30, 2011.

We continue to target specific segments in our loan portfolio for growth, including commercial and industrial and owner occupied and multifamily commercial real estate, which in the aggregate comprised 56.5% of the commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2012, up from 53.0% at December 31, 2011 and 52.2% at September 30, 2011. Our focus on deepening client relationships continues to emphasize core deposit growth. Total core deposits as a percentage of total deposits increased to 63.3% at September 30, 2012 from 61.1% at December 31, 2011 and 60.5% at September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to continued shrinkage in certificates of deposit in this low interest rate environment. In addition, the Bank’s High Performance Checking (HPC) deposit acquisition marketing program implemented during the first quarter of 2012 has enhanced growth in core deposits while attracting a younger demographic (20-49 age group) for retail accounts, which will continue to provide additional cross-sell opportunities.
 
At September 30, 2012, our common shareholders’ equity was $108.1 million, or 9.66% of assets, compared to $103.2 million, or 8.99%, of assets at December 31, 2011 and $114.8 million, or 9.82% of assets, at September 30, 2011. The Bank’s Tier 1 core capital ratio was 8.85% at September 30, 2012 compared to 8.26% at December 31, 2011 and 8.87% at September 30, 2011. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio increased to 13.82% at September 30, 2012 from 12.65% at December 31, 2011 and 13.57% at September 30, 2011.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and general practice within the banking industry.  Management uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to evaluate our financial performance and has provided the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures of pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, and pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, to average assets.  In these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, the provision for loan losses, other real estate owned related income and expense, loan collection expense, and certain other items, such as gains and losses on sales of investment securities and other assets, and severance and early retirement expense, are excluded.  Management believes that these measures are useful because they provide a more comparable basis for evaluating financial performance excluding certain credit-related costs and other non-recurring items period to period and allows management and others to assess our ability to generate pre-tax earnings to cover our provision for loan losses and other credit-related costs.  Although these non-U.S. GAAP financial

46


measures are intended to enhance investors understanding of our business performance, these operating measures should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. GAAP.

The risks associated with utilizing operating measures (such as the pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted) are that various persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included or excluded in these measures and that other companies might calculate these measures differently.  Management compensates for these limitations by providing detailed reconciliations between U.S. GAAP information and our pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, as noted above.

The following table reconciles income before income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP to the non-U.S. GAAP measurement of pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted.

Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, increased $847,000, or 31.5%, to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2011. These increases were primarily due to a $261,000 increase in gain on sale of loans held for sale along with a $636,000 decrease in compensation and employee benefits expense.

The pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $2.7 million, or 40.1%, to $9.4 million compared to $6.7 million for the 2011 period primarily due to increases in gain on sale of loans held for sale; income from bank-owned life insurance as a result of the death of an insured in the first quarter 2012; and decreases in compensation and employee benefits, professional fees, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance premiums and regulatory assessments. These favorable variances were partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses and a slight decrease in net interest income.

Net Interest Income
 
Net Interest Income. Net interest income totaled $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Net interest income totaled $26.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $26.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased eight basis points to 3.47% from 3.39% for the comparable 2011 period and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased seven basis points to 3.44% from 3.51% for the 2011 period. Our net interest margin benefited from loans comprising a larger proportion of interest-earning assets and decreases in non-performing assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Higher levels of liquidity, modest loan demand, reduced but still elevated levels of non-performing assets, the continued low interest rate environment, and narrowing of spreads on new investment security purchases will create pressure on our net interest margin for the foreseeable future.

Interest Income.  Interest income decreased 4.7% to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $10.8 million for the comparable 2011 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest income decreased 4.8% to $31.4 million from $33.0 million for the comparable 2011 period.  The weighted-average rate on interest-earning assets decreased to 4.02% and 4.04%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 from 4.12% and 4.30%, respectively, for the comparable 2011 periods.  The decreases are primarily related to the reinvestment of proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities in lower yielding investments and maintaining higher levels of short-term liquid investments due to the lack of suitable higher yielding investment alternatives in the current low interest rate environment combined with modest loan demand.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased 26.2% to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $1.9 million for the comparable 2011 period.  The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 21 basis points to .61% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from .82% for the 2011 period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest expense decreased 23.2% to $4.7 million from $6.1 million for the 2011 period. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 22 basis points to .67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from .89% for the 2011 period. Interest expense continues to be positively affected by our continuing success in increasing the proportion of low-cost core deposits to total deposits and continued disciplined pricing on new and renewing certificates of deposit.
 
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased to $1.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 from $1.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for the comparable 2011 periods.  The weighted-average cost of deposits decreased 22 basis points to .51% for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 from .73% for the comparable 2011 period and 23 basis points to .58% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 from .81% for the comparable 2011 period. The decreases are primarily the result of disciplined pricing on core deposits and the repricing of certificates of deposit at lower interest rates.
 
Interest expense on borrowed funds increased to $297,000 and $887,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $294,000 and $813,000, respectively, for the 2011 periods primarily as a result of increases in the average balance of FHLB advances during 2012 compared to 2011.  The weighted-average cost of borrowed funds was relatively stable at 2.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 2.28% for the 2011 period and decreased 24 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 2.26% from 2.50% for the 2011 period. The decrease for the year to date period was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of Repo Sweeps, the previously discussed $15.0 million FHLB advance, and the scheduled repayments of higher cost amortizing FHLB advances.

Provision for Loan Losses
 
The Company’s provision for loan losses was $1.16 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $2.67 million for the 2011 period. The provision for loan losses was $3.36 million compared to $4.57 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  For more information, see “Changes in Financial Condition – Allowance for Loan Losses” below in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Deposit related fees include service charges, card-based fees, and other fees related to deposit accounts. Deposit related fees were impacted by a decrease in business deposit service charges due to the loss of one large business depositor during 2012 which was partially offset by a modest increase in card-based fees due to the success of the High Performance Checking (HPC) program growing checking accounts in a younger demographic that is more inclined to debit card usage. Commission income for the 2012 periods decreased due to lower sales activity in non-deposit investment-related products. Income from bank-owned life insurance during 2012 has been negatively impacted by a decrease in yields. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded income of $378,000 relating to the first quarter 2012 death of an insured which more than offset the impact of the lower yields for the period. The increases for the 2012 periods in net gain on the sale of loans held for sale was related to our expanded residential loan origination and mortgage banking activities. The decrease in net gain on the sale of other real estate owned for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from the same 2011 period was primarily

52


due to a $2.2 million gain recognized during the second quarter of 2011 on the sale of a large commercial property.

Total non-interest expense decreased $217,000, or 2.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $2.5 million, or 8.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from the same 2011 periods as we continue to make progress in reducing our cost structure. Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 from the 2011 periods primarily as a result of our VERO program, branch closings, and outsourcing during 2012. These cost reduction initiatives resulted in a 16.7% decrease in the number of FTE employees to 259 at September 30, 2012 from 311 at September 30, 2011. In addition, medical and life benefits were significantly lower during the 2012 periods due to the lack of several individual large self-insurance claims made during the prior year periods. FDIC insurance premiums and regulatory assessments expense decreased during 2012 from the 2011 periods due to the premium assessment methodology implemented in April 2011. Professional fees also decreased during 2012 primarily due to lower legal, strategic adviser, and investor relations fees. Partially offsetting the favorable variances, marketing expense increased in 2012 and VERO severance and retirement compensation expense totaled $876,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Also, other real estate owned related expense and loan collection expense increased during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same 2011 period due to additional valuation reserves totaling $1.0 million and higher legal fees incurred in resolving certain non-performing assets. Other real estate owned expense decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from the 2011 period due to lower valuation reserves recognized during the 2012 year to date period.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $493,000, which was equal to an effective tax rate of 28.1%. During the third quarter of 2011, we recorded an income tax benefit of $84,000. The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $1.0 million, or an effective tax

54


rate of 25.0%, and an increase of $727,000 from $307,000, or an effective tax rate of 12.8%, for the comparable 2011 period. The increases in the effective income tax rate during the 2012 periods were due to the increased level of income before income tax expense partially offset by the tax sheltering impact of income from bank-owned life insurance and other tax credits.

Changes in Financial Condition

Our total assets decreased slightly to $1.12 billion at September 30, 2012 from $1.15 billion at December 31, 2011 primarily due to our efforts to exit certain select deposit relationships which reduced our level of investments and liquidity and improved our Tier 1 core capital ratios.

 Total loans receivable, net of deferred loan fees decreased $7.3 million at September 30, 2012 from December 31, 2011 primarily due to a decrease of $7.5 million in retail loans outstanding as a result of increased mortgage loan refinance activity with us or other institutions and the majority of our one-to-four family originations being sold into the secondary market. Loan fundings during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $99.7 million compared to $65.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which reflects an increase in loan demand during 2012. Loan fundings in 2012 were partially offset by loan repayments and amortization of $58.7 million, one-to-four family loans sold of $37.7 million, transfers to other real estate owned totaling $7.5 million in total retail loans, and gross loan charge-offs totaling $3.8 million.

Commercial participations decreased 52.9% compared to December 31, 2011 through net paydowns totaling $1.7 million and the payoff of one non-owner occupied commercial real estate participation totaling $4.8 million. In addition, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans decreased by $9.7 million, or 5.1%, since December 31, 2011 primarily due to five loan payoffs aggregating $6.7 million and gross charge-offs of $1.5 million. Partially offsetting this decrease, commercial and industrial loans increased $8.6 million, or 10.1%, since December 31, 2011 primarily due to increased line usage.
 
As more fully discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, we began a shift in mid-2007 to diversify our loan portfolio to reduce our focus on commercial real estate lending, including non-owner occupied, commercial construction and land development, and purchased participation and

56


syndication loans. We have identified and segregated the remaining credit risk related to our deemphasized loan categories that were originated prior to our current risk tolerances, credit policy, and underwriting standards, by segregating our loan portfolio based upon each loan’s initial origination date. Loans that were renewed or modified subsequent to their initial origination are included for disclosure purposes based on their initial loan origination date. The categories of the loan portfolio that we continue to focus on growing, which are commercial and industrial and commercial real estate owner occupied and multifamily, comprised 56.5% of the commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2012 compared to 53.0% at December 31, 2011 and 52.2% at September 30, 2011. Over 79% of the loans outstanding at September 30, 2012 in these growth categories were originated after January 1, 2008 (Post-1/1/08). During 2012, these targeted growth categories grew by $16.5 million due to $30.9 million in new fundings which were partially offset by $12.1 million in loan repayments. At September 30, 2012, our total commercial loans outstanding originated prior to January 1, 2008 (Pre-1/1/08) decreased to $172.3 million, or 36.4%, of our total commercial loan portfolio primarily due to normal amortization, charge-offs, and repayments, including the full repayment of a $4.8 million performing participation loan.

The following tables present the categories of our commercial loan portfolio at the dates indicated segregated by the origination date of the lending relationship, and highlights the shift in our lending focus to those growth categories in accordance with our strategic plan.

During the third quarter of 2012, we received a paydown totaling $1.7 million related to a non-performing non-owner occupied commercial participation loan located in the state of Indiana. This paydown was partially repaid through the proceeds of a new commercial and industrial participation loan secured by the beneficial ownership interests in two other hotel properties. The new loan was underwritten in accordance with our current underwriting standards with cash flows from the collateral more than sufficient to service the debt.

Total non-performing loans decreased $15.3 million, or 29.5%, to $36.6 million at September 30, 2012 from $51.9 million at June 30, 2012 primarily due to the transfer back to accrual status of two commercial real estate non-owner occupied and one commercial real estate owner occupied A-Note troubled debt restructurings totaling $9.8 million; a $1.7 million paydown on a non-accrual commercial participation loan; two commercial real estate loans transferred to other real estate owned totaling $5.6 million, of which $3.7 million was also sold during the quarter; and gross loan charge-offs totaling $1.0 million. Partially offsetting these decreases, loans transferred to non-accrual status during the quarter included $3.1 million of commercial and $1.2 million of retail

59


loans. Of the total non-accrual loans at September 30, 2012, $3.9 million, or 10.5% are current and performing in accordance with their loan agreements.

Total performing troubled debt restructurings increased during the quarter due to the aforementioned A-Note troubled debt restructurings being transferred back into accrual status. The additional disclosure required with respect to impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings is contained in “Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Included in the non-performing loan totals are non-performing syndications and purchased participations as identified by loan category and states in the following table.

Non-performing assets decreased to $54.0 million at September 30, 2012 from $64.7 million at December 31, 2011 primarily due to the aforementioned decreases in non-performing loans. Of the transfers during the third quarter of 2012 to other real estate owned totaling $5.8 million, $3.7 million was also sold during the quarter for a gain of $478,000. The activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 for our other real estate owned is set forth in the following table.

As more fully discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, we believe that our loans that were originated Pre-1/1/08 have a higher degree of risk of loss due to the nature of the types of these loans and the credit environment under which they were originated, particularly given the downturn in the economic environment over the last five years. During the one year and five years ended December 31, 2011, $18.3 million and $53.3 million, respectively, or 87.8% and 95.5%, of total commercial charge-offs were from the Pre-1/1/08 portfolio. The following tables illustrate that a large portion of our non-performing loans and other real estate owned were originated Pre-1/1/08 and that we have experienced a significantly higher level of charge-offs and other real estate owned writedowns in the Pre-1/1/08 portfolios. As presented in the following tables, 70.8% of our non-performing commercial loans and our entire commercial other real estate owned portfolio at September 30, 2012 were originated Pre-1/1/08.

Potential Problem Assets. Potential problem assets, defined as loans classified substandard pursuant to our internal loan grading system that do not meet the definition of a non-performing loan, increased to $7.1 million at September 30, 2012 from $2.2 million at December 31, 2011. This increase is due to the substandard classification of two loans to an owner occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan relationship totaling $1.6 million, two owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaling $2.1 million, a non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan totaling $943,000, and four retail loans totaling $300,000.

The allowance for loan losses was stable at $12.4 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and decreased $4.8 million from $17.2 million at September 30, 2011.  The large decrease in the allowance for loan losses compared to September 30, 2011 was primarily due to the charge-offs of previously established ASC 310-10 impairment reserves recorded during the fourth quarter of 2011. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans increased slightly to 1.76% at September 30, 2012 from 1.75% at December 31, 2011 primarily due to the decrease in total loans and decreased from 2.37% September 30, 2011 as a result of the fourth quarter of 2011 charge-offs.

The provision for losses on loans decreased to $1.16 million for the third quarter of 2012 from $2.67 million for the prior year quarter.  The decrease was primarily related to the lower level of charge-offs combined with $398,000 of loan loss recoveries received during the third quarter of 2012. Total recoveries during the quarter included a $325,000 repayment of a previous $476,000 charge-off on a non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan recorded in 2010.
 
When we determine that a non-performing collateral-dependent loan has a collateral shortfall, we will immediately charge off the collateral shortfall.  As a result, we are not required to maintain an allowance for loan losses on these loans as the loan balance has already been written down to its net realizable value (fair value less estimated costs to sell the collateral).  As such, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans has continued to be negatively affected by cumulative partial charge-offs of $12.3 million recorded through September 30, 2012 on $24.8 million (net of charge-offs) of

66


non-performing collateral-dependent loans. At September 30, 2012, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans, excluding the $24.8 million of non-performing collateral-dependent loans with partial charge-offs, improved to 105.3%.

Investment Securities
 
We manage our investment securities portfolio to adjust balance sheet interest rate sensitivity to insulate net interest income against the impact of changes in market interest rates, maximize the return on invested funds within acceptable risk guidelines, and meet pledging and liquidity requirements.
 
We adjust the size and composition of our investment securities portfolio according to a number of factors including expected loan and deposit growth, the interest rate environment, and projected liquidity.  The amortized cost of investment securities and their fair values were as follows at the dates indicated:

The fair value of investment securities available-for-sale totaled $202.5 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $234.4 million at December 31, 2011.  Our investment securities portfolio decreased from December 31, 2011 as proceeds from repayments, prepayments, and sales were utilized to exit certain select deposit relationships.

At September 30, 2012, our collateralized mortgage obligation portfolio totaled $76.5 million, with 87% of the portfolio maintaining a credit rating of A or better.  The composition of this portfolio includes $4.3 million backed by Ginnie Mae. The portfolio is mainly backed by residential mortgages originated prior to 2005. Included in our collateralized mortgage obligation portfolio is $64.9 million of floating-rate bonds with unaccreted discounts totaling $7.1 million.

Our commercial mortgage-backed investment securities portfolio consists mainly of senior tranches of issues that were originated prior to 2006 and have extensive subordination.  All bonds in this portfolio were AAA-rated at September 30, 2012.  
 
Our corporate bond portfolio consists of three A-rated to AA-rated, floating-rate notes purchased at large discounts with maturities ranging from 2014 to 2016.

At September 30, 2012, management believed the unrealized losses in our investment securities portfolio were primarily attributable to macroeconomic conditions affecting the liquidity of these securities and not necessarily the expected cash flows of the individual securities.  The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as the economy recovers, as interest rates rise, and as the performance of the underlying collateral improves.
 
All of our pooled trust preferred investments were AAA-rated when they were purchased in late 2007 and early 2008 at discounts in excess of 10%.  In 2009, the market for this type of investment was severely impacted by the credit crisis leading to increased deferrals and defaults.  Credit ratings were also negatively affected in 2009,

68


and all of these securities in our portfolio have at least one rating below investment grade.  Rating agencies have started to note the improving collateral statistics, limited number of new deferrals, number of cures, lack of defaults, and rapidly increasing redemptions and coverage ratios. Additionally, rating agencies are increasingly analyzing deferring issuers for probability of default instead of treating all, or nearly all, deferring issuers as defaulted issuers. All of the Bank’s pooled trust preferred investments have received ratings upgrades by at least one rating agency during 2012. Two of the five issues we hold, representing approximately 45% of our total pooled trust preferred investments, were upgraded during 2012 and now have composite investment-grade ratings.

We utilize extensive external and internal analysis on the pooled trust preferred investments.  Our internal model stress tests all underlying issuers in the pools to project probabilities of deferral or default.  Management’s internal modeling runs multiple stress scenarios.  The high-stress scenario utilizes immediate defaults for all deferring collateral.  Any collateral that management believes may be at risk for deferring or defaulting, based upon its review of the underlying issuers’ most recent financial and regulatory information, is assumed to default immediately.  Despite a recent trend of recoveries from previously defaulted trust preferred collateral, the high-stress scenario assumes no recoveries on defaulted collateral.  All external and internal stress testing at September 30, 2012 currently projects no loss of principal or interest on any of our pooled trust preferred investments.

All of our pooled trust preferred investments are “Super Senior” tranches purchased at large discounts.  The “Super Senior” tranches are the most senior tranches.  Due to the structure of the securities, as deferrals and defaults on the underlying collateral increase, cash flows are increasingly diverted from mezzanine and subordinate tranches to pay down principal on the “Super Senior” tranches.  If certain senior coverage tests are not met, all interest is diverted from subordinate classes to pay down principal on the “Super Senior” tranche.  Four of the five issues we hold are failing the senior coverage test.  This test is structured to protect the holders of the “Super Senior” tranches if deferrals or defaults exceed a specific threshold as a percent of the outstanding senior tranches.  As such, the proceeds of any early redemptions, successful tenders, or cures will be used to further pay down principal of the “Super Senior” tranches on these issues.  In the third quarter of 2012, the annualized principal pay down rate on these investments was 6.0% and has averaged 10.0% for the past four quarters.  Management expects additional cure and redemption announcements in the near term.  The percentage of original collateral backing the investments deemed at risk by management was stable during the third quarter of 2012.

A number of previously deferring issuers of our pooled trust preferred investments are resuming payments.  Of the previously deferring issues, 8.3% “cured,” or resumed payments, in the first quarter of 2012, 2.3% cured in the second quarter of 2012, and 1.4% cured in the third quarter of 2012.  When a previously deferring issuer cures, all past interest and accrued interest on the past due interest is paid to the trust.

Management is expecting redemption activity to remain strong over the near term as call windows are now open on all of the remaining securities, certain issuers reevaluate the impact of Dodd-Frank changes to Tier 1 capital treatment for these securities, and issuers consider the high cost of this capital in the current low interest rate market.

Due to the current credit ratings on the pooled trust preferred investments being below investment grade, the aggregate amortized cost of $23.0 million of these investments is classified as substandard in accordance with regulatory requirements.

During the first quarter of 2012, we initiated our HPC deposit acquisition marketing program that targets both retail and business clients. This ongoing program is designed to attract a younger demographic and enhance growth in core deposits and related fee income as well as to provide additional cross-selling opportunities. Core deposits also benefited during 2012 from clients moving maturing certificates of deposit into money market and savings accounts due to the current low interest rate environment. During 2012, we reviewed the pricing and cross-sell potential and decided to exit four of our larger single-service deposit relationships resulting in a decrease of $42.0 million in core deposits since December 31, 2011. This decision enabled us to decrease our level of liquidity and improve our Tier 1 core capital ratios.

Total deposits decreased $26.4 million, or 2.7%, to $951.1 million at September 30, 2012 from $977.4 million at December 31, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a $31.2 million, or 8.2%, decrease in certificates of deposit as management continues to be disciplined about pricing these deposits coupled with a $13.2 million, or 6.9%, decrease in money market accounts. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $4.7 million, or 1.7%, increase in checking accounts and a $13.3 million, or 10%, increase in savings accounts.

In addition, we offer a repurchase sweep agreement (Repo Sweep) account which allows public entities and other business depositors to earn interest with respect to checking and savings deposit products offered.  The depositor’s excess funds are swept from a deposit account and are used to purchase an interest in investment securities that we own.  The swept funds are not recorded as deposits and instead are classified as other short-term borrowed funds which generally provide a lower-cost funding alternative to FHLB advances.  At September 30, 2012, we had $10.4 million in Repo Sweeps compared to $14.3 million at December 31, 2011.  The Repo Sweeps are included in the table under “Borrowed Funds” and are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase investment securities sold are reflected as short-term borrowed funds.  The investment securities underlying these Repo Sweeps continue to be reflected as assets.

These are amortizing advances and are listed by their contractual final maturity date.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank had a line of credit with a large commercial bank with a maximum of $15.0 million in secured overnight federal funds availability at the federal funds market rate at the time of any borrowing.  The Bank also has a borrowing relationship with the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) discount window.  These lines were not utilized during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Shareholders’ Equity
 
Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2012 increased to $108.1 million, or 9.66% of total assets, from $103.2 million, or 8.99% of total assets, at December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to net income of $3.1 million for the period and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, of $1.7 million, partially offset by dividends declared of $327,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of operating, investing, and financing activities.  Our primary sources of funds are:
 
deposits and Repo Sweeps;
scheduled payments of amortizing loans and mortgage-backed investment securities;
prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed investment securities;
maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments;
funds provided from operations;
federal funds line of credit; and
borrowed funds from the FHLB and FRB.

71


The Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for measuring and monitoring our liquidity profile.  We manage our liquidity to ensure stable, reliable, and cost-effective sources of funds to satisfy demand for credit, deposit withdrawals, and investment opportunities.  Our general approach to managing liquidity involves preparing a monthly “funding gap” report which forecasts cash inflows and outflows over various time horizons and rate scenarios to identify potential cash imbalances.  We supplement our funding gap report with the monitoring of several liquidity ratios to assist in identifying any trends that may have an effect on available liquidity in future periods.

We maintain a contingency funding plan that outlines the process for addressing a liquidity crisis.  The plan assigns specific roles and responsibilities for effectively managing liquidity through a problem period.

Scheduled payments from the amortization of loans, maturing investment securities, and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, while deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competitive rate offerings.

At September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $108.6 million, a $16.5 million, or 17.9%, increase from $92.1 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase was mainly the result of proceeds received from $87.4 million from the sales, maturities, and repayments of investment securities which were partially offset by cash outflows related to $48.0 million of investment securities purchases and a $26.5 million decrease in deposit accounts.

We use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, fund loan commitments, fund maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, and maintain an investment securities portfolio.  We anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds to meet our current commitments.
 
The parent company’s liquidity needs consist primarily of operating expenses and dividend payments to shareholders.  The primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and dividends from the Bank.  We are prohibited from repurchasing shares, incurring any debt at the parent company, and paying dividends to our shareholders without the prior approval of the FRB.
 
Additionally, the Bank requires the prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) before paying dividends to the Company. Absent such restriction, OCC regulations provide various standards under which the Bank may declare and pay dividends to the parent company without prior approval. The dividends from the Bank are limited to the extent of its cumulative earnings for the year plus the net earnings (adjusted by prior distributions) of the prior two calendar years.  At September 30, 2012, under current regulations, the Bank had no net earnings available for dividend declarations to the parent company.  At September 30, 2012, the parent company had $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.  We do not anticipate that these restrictions will have a material adverse impact on our liquidity in the short-term.

See the “Borrowed Funds” section for further discussion surrounding FHLB advances.  The operating lease obligations reflected above include the future minimum rental payments, by year, required under the lease terms for premises and equipment.  Many of these leases contain renewal options, and certain leases provide options to purchase the leased property during or at the expiration of the lease period at specific prices.

Off-Balance-Sheet Obligations
 
We are party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our clients.  These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of condition.  Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the third-party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.  We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The commitments listed above do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.  Credit enhancements expire at various dates through 2018.  Letters of credit expire at various dates through 2013.
 
We also have commitments to fund community investments through investments in various limited partnerships, which represent future cash outlays for the construction and development of properties for low-income housing, small business real estate, and historic tax credit projects that qualify under the Community Reinvestment Act.  These commitments include $376,000 to be funded over two years.  The timing and amounts of these commitments are projected based upon the financing arrangements provided in each project’s partnership agreement, and could change due to variances in the construction schedule, project revisions, or the cancellation of the project.  These commitments are not included in the commitment table above.
 
Credit enhancements are related to the issuance by municipalities of taxable and nontaxable revenue bonds.  The proceeds from the sale of such bonds are loaned to for-profit and not-for-profit companies for economic development projects.  In order for the bonds to receive AAA ratings, which provide for a lower interest rate, the FHLB issues, in favor of the bond trustee, an Irrevocable Direct Pay Letter of Credit (IDPLOC) for our account.  Since we, in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Reimbursement Agreement with the FHLB, would be required to reimburse the FHLB for draws against the IDPLOC, these facilities are analyzed, appraised, secured by real estate mortgages, and monitored as if we had funded the project initially.

Regulatory Capital  

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to quantitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios set forth in the below table of total risk-based, tangible, and core capital, as defined in the regulations. The Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
 
At September 30, 2012, the Bank was deemed to be “well-capitalized” and in excess of regulatory requirements set by the OCC. The total amount of deferred tax assets not included for regulatory capital purposes was $8.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively, at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Determining the amount of deferred tax assets included or excluded in periodic regulatory capital calculations requires significant judgment when assessing a number of factors. In assessing the amount of the deferred tax assets includable in capital, management considers a number of relevant factors including the amount of deferred tax assets dependent on future taxable income, the amount of taxes that could be recovered through loss carrybacks, the reversal of temporary book/tax differences, projected future taxable income within one year, tax planning strategies, and OCC limitations. Using all information available to management at each statement of condition date, these factors are reviewed and can and do vary from period to period.

The current regulatory capital requirements and the actual capital levels of the Bank at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are presented in the following table. There are no conditions or events since September 30, 2012 that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The increase in the Bank’s risk-based capital ratio from December 31, 2011 is primarily a result of an increase in the Bank’s shareholders’ equity from net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 combined with a decrease in total risk-weighted assets due to a decrease in 20% risk-weighted mortgage backed securities and a decrease in 100% risk-weighted loans and other real estate owned.

Determining the amount of deferred tax assets included or excluded in periodic regulatory capital calculations requires significant judgment when assessing a number of factors.  In assessing the amount of the disallowed deferred tax asset, we consider a number of relevant factors including the amount of deferred tax assets dependent on future taxable income, the amount of taxes that could be recovered through loss carrybacks, the reversal of temporary book tax differences, projected future taxable income within one year, available tax planning strategies, and OCC limitations.  Using all information available to us at each statement of condition date, these factors are reviewed and vary from period to period.

On June 7, 2012, the U.S. banking regulators released a notice of proposed rule-making that would substantially revise the regulatory risk-based capital rules currently applicable to the Company and the Bank. The proposed rules implement the “Basel III” international regulatory capital reforms and certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The proposed rules are subject to a comment period that ended on October 22, 2012.

The proposed rules include new risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which would be phased in beginning in 2013 through 2019, and would refine the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating those ratios. The proposed new minimum capital level requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank under the proposals would be: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% (increased from 4%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from current rules); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The proposed rules would also establish a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the new regulatory minimum capital requirements. The new capital conservation buffer requirement would be phased in beginning in January 2016 until fully implemented in January 2019. An institution would be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. The proposed rules also implement revisions and clarifications consistent with Basel III regarding the various components of Tier 1 capital, including common equity, unrealized gains and losses, as well as certain instruments that will no longer qualify as Tier 1 capital, some of which would be phased out over time.


76


The proposed rules also set forth certain changes to the calculation of risk-weighted assets, which we would be required to utilize beginning January 1, 2015. Risk-weighted assets would be calculated using new and expanded risk-weighting categories, including higher risk-weightings assigned to certain commercial real estate loans, past due or non-accrual loans, certain residential mortgage loans, unfunded commitments of less than one year, and portions of deferred tax assets exceeding certain limits.

The federal bank regulatory agencies also proposed revisions to the prompt corrective action framework, which is designed to place restrictions on insured depository institutions, including the Bank, if their capital levels begin to show signs of weakness. These revisions would take effect January 1, 2015. Under the prompt corrective action requirements, which are designed to complement the capital conservation buffer, insured depository institutions would be required to meet the following increased capital level requirements in order to qualify as “well capitalized:” (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8% (increased from 6%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 10% (unchanged from current rules); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% (increased from 4%).

We continue to evaluate the impact of the proposed rules, and based on our current capital and balance sheet composition, we expect to meet the requirements as set forth in the proposed rules if adopted by U.S. banking regulators within the specified timelines. However, until the proposals are finalized and the timing of the implementation of the rules is determined, some uncertainty exists with respect to the ultimate impact on the Company and the Bank.

Item 3.          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Our primary market risk is considered to be interest rate risk.  Interest rate risk on our balance sheet arises from the maturity mismatch of interest-earning assets versus interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the potential for maturities to shorten or lengthen on our interest-earning assets, and to a lesser extent on our interest-bearing liabilities due to the exercise of options.  The most common of these are prepayment options on mortgage loans, and commercial mortgage-backed securities, and to a lesser extent jump-rate features in certain of our certificates
of deposit.  Management’s goal, through policies established by the Asset/Liability Management Committee of the Board of Directors (ALCO), is to maximize net interest income while achieving adequate returns on equity capital and managing our balance sheet within the established interest rate risk policy limits prescribed by the ALCO.
 
We maintain a written Asset/Liability Management Policy that establishes written guidelines for the asset/liability management function, including the management of net interest margin, interest rate risk (IRR), and liquidity.  The Asset/Liability Management Policy falls under the authority of the Board of Directors which in turn assigns its formulation, revision, and administration to the ALCO.  The ALCO schedules monthly meetings and consists of certain senior officers and one outside director.  The results of the meetings are reported to the Board of Directors.  The primary duties of the ALCO are to develop reports and establish procedures to measure and monitor IRR, verify compliance with Board approved IRR tolerance limits, take appropriate actions to mitigate those risks, monitor and discuss the status and results of implemented strategies and tactics, monitor our capital position, review the current and prospective liquidity positions, and monitor alternative funding sources.  The policy requires management to measure overall IRR exposure using Net Present Value analysis and earnings-at-risk analysis.

We use Net Portfolio Value Analysis as the primary measurement of our IRR.  Under prior OTS regulations in Thrift Bulletin 13a, we are required to measure our IRR assuming various increases and decreases in general interest rates and their effect on our market value of portfolio equity.  The Board of Directors has established limits to changes in Net Portfolio Value (NPV), (including limits regarding the change in net interest income discussed below), across a range of hypothetical interest rate changes.  If estimated changes to NPV and net interest income are not within these limits, the Board may direct management to adjust its asset/liability mix to bring its IRR within Board limits.  NPV is computed as the difference between the market value of assets and the market value of liabilities, adjusted for the value of off-balance-sheet items.
 
As of September 30, 2012, the Company is reporting IRR results based on output from its recently installed internal model. The goals of the model change are: to increase the ability to model multiple scenarios and on a more timely basis; to improve securities cash flow projections and shocked economic values for securities; and to allow for improved modeling for rate caps and floors on individual loans, investments, or deposits.

NPV analysis measures our IRR by calculating the estimated change in NPV of our cash flows from interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, as well as certain off-balance-sheet items, in the event of a shock in interest rates ranging down 100 to up 300 basis points.  The following table shows the change in NPV applying the various instantaneous rate shocks to the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The increase in the base NPV from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012 was caused mainly by an increase in the market value of investment securities and longer durations on non-maturity deposits.

Our reported earnings at risk analysis models the impact of instantaneous parallel shifts in yield curve changes in interest rates (assuming interest rates rise and fall in increments of 100 basis points), on anticipated net interest income over a twelve-month horizon.  These models are modeling underlying cash flows in each of our interest-sensitive portfolios under these changing rate environments.  This includes adjusting anticipated prepayments as well as modeling anticipated changes in interest rates paid on core deposit accounts, whose rates do not necessarily move in any relationship to movements in U.S. Treasury rates.  We compare these results to our results assuming flat interest rates.

The following table presents the projected changes in net interest income over a twelve-month period for the various interest rate change (rate shocks) scenarios at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The table above indicates that if interest rates were to move up 200 basis points, net interest income would be expected to increase 7.4% in year one; and if interest rates were to move down 100 basis points, net interest income would be expected to increase .7% in year one.  The primary causes for the changes in net interest income over the twelve-month period were a result of the changes in the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, their repricing characteristics and frequencies, and related interest rates.  The net interest income projections for rising rates have improved since December 31, 2011 as the Bank has been growing low-cost core deposits, shifting the investment securities portfolio from fixed-rate bonds to floating-rate bonds, and growing interest-earning bank deposit assets. Actual results will differ from the above model results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.  The above table does not reflect any actions we might take in response to changes in interest rates.

We manage our IRR position by holding assets with various desired IRR characteristics, implementing certain pricing strategies for loans and deposits, and implementing various investment securities portfolio strategies.  On a quarterly basis, the ALCO reviews the calculations of all IRR measures for compliance with the Board approved tolerance limits.  At September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of our tolerance limits.

The IRR analyses include the assets and liabilities of the Bank only.  Inclusion of the parent company assets and liabilities would not have a material impact on the results presented.
