Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Selected Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Alaska Pacific Bank (the “Bank”), and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the financial institutions industry, where applicable.  All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  They should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting.  The results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire year or any other period.  In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to March 31, 2013 for potential recognition and disclosure.
 
Certain amounts in prior-period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.
 

Note 2 – Mortgage Loan Servicing

The Company generally retains the right to service mortgage loans sold to others.  The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $141.4 million and $138.8 million, respectively.  The Company accounts for mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860-50, Servicing Assets and Liabilities, which provides an election to record changes in fair value to be reported in earnings in the period in which the change occurs.  The Company uses a model derived valuation methodology to update the estimate of fair value of the MSR obtained from an independent financial advisor on an annual basis.  The annual valuation is reviewed on a quarterly basis for significant changes in assumptions and current market rates.  The model pools loans into tranches of homogeneous characteristics and performs a present value analysis of the expected future cash flows.  The tranches are created by individual loan characteristics such as note rate, product type, and the remittance schedule.  Applicable current market rates are utilized for discounting the future cash flows.  Significant assumptions used in the annual valuation of the MSR include discount rates, projected repayment speeds, escrow calculations, ancillary income, delinquencies and option adjusted spreads.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

We have elected to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined 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. The GAAP standard (ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures) establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and disclosure requirements about fair value measurements.  The standard requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.  These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

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 are unobservable.

An asset or liability’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 table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy that were measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Impaired loans:  Impaired loans are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and included in the table are impaired loans with a current specific valuation allowance.  These assets are classified as Level 3 where significant value drivers are unobservable.  The fair value of impaired loans are determined using a discounted cash flow basis or the fair value of each loan’s collateral for collateral-dependent loans as determined by an appraisal of the property, less estimated costs related to liquidation of the collateral.  The appraisal amount may also be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business.  Impaired loans with a specific valuation allowance or a partial charge-off were $3.1 million at March 31, 2013 and $3.2 million at December 31, 2012 with estimated reserves for impairment of $473,000 on both dates.

Real estate owned and repossessed assets:  The $1.8 million in real estate owned and repossessed assets at March 31, 2013, represents impaired real estate and repossessed assets that have been adjusted to fair value. Real estate owned and repossessed assets primarily represents real estate and other assets which the Bank has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, real estate owned and repossessed assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell.  The fair value of real estate owned is determined by appraisal of the property, less estimated costs related to liquidation of the asset.  The appraisal amount may also be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the asset.  Fair value adjustments on real estate owned and repossessed assets are recognized in noninterest expense.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash, cash equivalents, and accrued interest:  The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest is estimated to be equal to the carrying value, due to their short-term nature.
 
Investment Securities:   Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments with similar characteristics.  Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income.

Mortgage servicing rights:  MSRs are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  These assets are classified as Level 3 as quoted prices are not available and the Company uses a model derived valuation methodology to estimate the fair value of MSR obtained from an independent financial advisor on an annual basis.   The annual valuation is reviewed on a quarterly basis for significant changes in assumptions and current market rates.  The model pools loans into tranches of homogeneous characteristics and performs a present value analysis of the expected future cash flows.  The tranches are created by individual loan characteristics such as note rate, product type, and the remittance schedule.  Applicable current market rate assumptions are utilized for discounting the future cash flows.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock:  The fair value of FHLB stock is considered to be equal to its carrying value, since it may be redeemed at that value.
 
 
12

 
Loans, excluding held for sale, net of allowance for loan loss:  The fair value of loans excluding loans held for sale and net of allowance for loan losses is estimated using present value methods which discount the estimated cash flows, including prepayments as well as contractual principal and interest, using current interest rates appropriate for the type and maturity of the loans.
 
Deposits and other liabilities:  The fair value disclosed for demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  For accrued interest payable, fair value is considered to be carrying value.

Certificates of deposit:  The fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using present value methods and current offering rates for such deposits.

FHLB advances:  The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for short-term borrowings. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate borrowings is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar financial instruments.

There were two securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2013 and no securities at December 31, 2012. The fair values of individual securities fluctuate significantly with interest rates and with market demand for securities with specific structures and characteristics.  Management does not consider these unrealized losses to be other than temporary because the Company does not intend to sell them and the Company will likely not be required to sell them.
 
No securities were designated as trading or held to maturity at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
 
The fair value and amortized cost of investment securities at March 31, 2013 is presented in the following table by contractual maturity.  Actual maturities may vary as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The amortized cost and market value of investment securities pledged to secure public funds deposited with the Bank at March 31, 2013 was $5.9 million and $6.1 million, respectively.  The amortized cost and market value of investment securities pledged to secure public funds deposited with the Bank at December 31, 2012 were $3.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
 
There was no sale of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 or December 31,  2012.
 
At March 31, 2013 the Bank owned $1.8 million of stock of the FHLB of Seattle. As a condition of membership in the FHLB, the Bank is required to purchase and hold a certain amount of FHLB stock, which is based, in part, upon the outstanding principal balance of advances from the FHLB and is calculated in accordance with the Capital Plan of the FHLB.  FHLB stock has a par value of $100 per share, is carried at cost, and is subject to impairment testing per ASC 320-10-35.  On October 25, 2010, the FHLB of Seattle agreed to the stipulation and issuance of a Consent Order by
 
 
14

 
its primary regulator the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”).  The Consent Order sets forth requirements for capital management, asset composition and other operational and risk management improvements as well as requiring the FHFA’s approval for the FHLB of Seattle to repurchase member stock or pay dividends.  In September 2012, the Finance Agency reclassified the FHLB of Seattle as "adequately capitalized" as compared to the prior classification of “undercapitalized.” Although this capital classification change means that the FHLB of Seattle will no longer be subject to the mandatory and discretionary restrictions imposed by the prompt corrective action regulations, including limitations on asset growth, FHLB remains subject to the requirements stipulated in the Consent Arrangement.  In addition, any dividends on, or repurchases of, the FHLB of Seattle stock continue to require consent of the FHFA.  During the third quarter of 2012, the FHFA approved the FHLB of Seattle to repurchase a portion of its stock and $32,000 of FHLB of Seattle stock was purchased from the Bank during 2012. The FHLB of Seattle has not indicated when dividend payments may resume.  As a result, an “other than temporary impairment” has not been recorded for the Bank’s investment in FHLB stock.  Management will continue to monitor the financial condition of the FHLB of Seattle as it relates to, among other things, the recoverability of the Bank’s investment in FHLB of Seattle stock.

Impaired Loans.  Loans are deemed to be impaired when management determines that it is probable that all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreements will not be collectible in accordance with the original loan agreement. All problem-graded loans are evaluated for impairment.  Impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of the collateral or discounted cash flows to the recorded investment in the loan.  Impaired loans include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.  These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

Troubled Debt Restructurings.  Troubled debt restructured loans are loans for which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial condition, has granted a significant concession to the borrower that it would otherwise not consider.  The Company accounts for troubled debt restructurings in accordance with Auditing Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02.  Troubled debt restructurings of certain receivables identified are deemed impaired under the guidance of Section 310-10-35 of ASU No. 2011-02.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the recorded investment in receivables that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring and that are impaired was $7.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively.  Included in these amounts, the Company had $6.4 million and $6.5 million of troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which were performing in accordance with their modified loan terms.  The Company has not committed any additional amounts to lend to borrowers with loans considered to be troubled debt restructurings.

Modification Categories:  The Bank considers a variety of modifications to borrowers.  The types of modifications considered can generally be described in the following categories:
 
·  
Rate Modification: A modification in which the interest rate is changed.
 
·  
Term Modification:  A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments, or frequency of payments is changed.
 
·  
Interest Only Modification:  A modification in which the loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time.
 
·  
Payment Modification:  A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed, other than an interest only modification described above.
 
·  
Combination Modification:  Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

The pre-modification balance and the post-modification balances were the same for the loans that were restructured during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, there were eight commercial non-residential loans totaling $4.0 million modified as troubled debt restructuring within the previous 12 months for which there was a payment default. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was one commercial business loan for $1.4 million and one commercial non-residential loan for $630,000 modified as a troubled debt restructuring within the previous 12 months for which there was a payment default.
 
The Bank’s policy is that loans placed in nonaccrual status may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected.  In general, the Bank’s policy requires six months of payment performance in order for the loan to return to accrual status.

Credit Quality / Risk Rating System:  The Bank utilizes a risk rating system to segment the risk profile of its loan portfolio. As part of this on-going monitoring system of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends in past due and nonaccrual loans, gross and net charge-offs, and movement in loan balances within the risk classifications.  The Bank’s risk rating system is comprised of a nine point ranges (1-9) risk rating system based upon industry best practice and regulator definitions. A brief summary of the general characteristics of the nine risk classes is as follows:

·  
Ratings 1-2: Include loans with the highest credit quality based upon financial performance, high net worth borrowers, an industry category with very positive trends, collateral of readily marketable government securities, time certificates or cash value of life insurance, and other strong financial performance ratios.
 
·  
Ratings 3-4: Include loans with satisfactory financial performance, adequate liquidity and compare favorably to industry performance measurements.  Loans in these categories are typically secured by real estate, inventory, accounts receivable or other collateral that may not be as easily converted to cash.  Loans graded a 4 might, for example, be loans where the borrower’s business is tied to a cyclical or seasonal industry such as tourism or fishing.
 
·  
Rating 5:  This is a “Pass/Watch” category requiring additional management attention.  These are performing loans where there is still no perception of unwarranted or undue credit risk, but because of external events in the marketplace, management change, a shift in financial performance or other conditions, which if not addressed could cause further problems.  This is typically a temporary classification.
 
 
21

 
·  
Rating 6:  This category includes “Special Mention” loans which are currently performing as agreed but have developed a financial weakness, which if not corrected, pose unwarranted risk to the institution. This classification is used when the degree of risk initially evaluated has increased beyond conditions that would have prevented the loan from being originated initially. Prompt corrective action is needed.
 
·  
Rating 7:  This category includes “Substandard” loans which are no longer protected by adequate cash flow, net worth, or collateral.  There is a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the repayment of the debt and subjects the institution to the possibility of loss.  Loans in this category may or may not have specific valuation allowance assigned to the loan depending on conditions.
 
·  
Rating 8:  This category includes loans classified as “Doubtful” which, based upon a variety of negative conditions, will more than likely result in a loss if a set of events do not occur.  These loans have specific valuation allowance to the extent of the calculated impairment.
 
·  
Rating 9:  This category includes loans classified as “Loss” that are to be charged-off or charged-down because that repayment is uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined.  This classification does not imply that the loan will never be paid, nor does it imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt, but does indicate that the value will not be carried on the books of the institution as an earning asset.

The Bank’s Asset Classification Policy requires an ongoing quarterly assessment of the probable estimated losses in the portfolios.  The Bank’s Asset Classification Committee reviews the following information to analyze the credit risk inherent in the Bank’s portfolio:
 
·  
All loans classified during the previous analysis. Current information as to payment history or actions taken to correct the deficiency is reviewed, and if justified, the loan is no longer classified. If conditions have not improved, the loan classification is reviewed to ensure that the appropriate action is being taken to mitigate loss.

·  
Growth and composition of the portfolio.  The Committee considers changes in composition of loan portfolio and the relative risk of these loan portfolios in assessing the adequacy of the allowance.

·  
Historical loan losses.  The Committee reviews the Bank’s historical loan losses and historical industry losses in considering losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio.

·  
Past due loans.  The Committee reviews loans that are past due 30 days or more, taking into consideration the borrower, nature of the collateral and its value, the circumstances that have caused the delinquency, and the likelihood of the borrower correcting the conditions that have resulted in the delinquent status. The Committee may recommend
 
 
23

 
 
more aggressive collection activity, inspection of the collateral, or no change in its classification.
 
·  
Reports from the Bank’s managers and analysis of potential problem loans.  Lending managers may be aware of a borrower’s circumstances that have not yet resulted in any past due payments but has the potential for problems in the future.  Each lending manager reviews their respective lending unit’s loans and identifies any that may have developing weaknesses. This “self identification” process is an important component of maintaining credit quality, as each lender is accountable for monitoring as well as originating loans.
 
·  
Current economic conditions. The Bank takes into consideration economic conditions in its market area, the state’s economy, and national economic factors that could influence the quality of the loan portfolio in general. The unique, isolated geography of the Bank’s market area of Southeast Alaska requires that each community’s economic activity be reviewed.  The Bank also reviews out of market economic data associated with participation loans and their respective markets.
 
·  
Trends in the Bank’s delinquencies.  The Bank’s market area has seasonal trends and as a result, the portfolio tends to have similar fluctuations. Prior period statistics are reviewed and evaluated to determine if the current conditions exceed expected trends.

Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan loss reserves consists of several key elements, which include specific allowances for individual loans, general loan loss reserves and an unallocated allowance.  The amount that is to be added to the allowance for loan losses is based upon a variety of factors.  An important component is a loss percentage set for each major category of loan that is based upon the Bank’s past loss experience.  In certain instances, the Bank’s own loss experience has been minimal, and the related loss factor is modified based on consideration of published national loan loss data.  The loss percentages are also influenced by economic factors as well as management experience.
 
Each individual loan, previously classified by management or newly classified during the quarterly review, is evaluated for loss potential, and any specific estimates of impairment are added to the overall required reserve amount.  As a result of the size of the Company, the size of the loan portfolio, and the relatively small number of classified loans, most members of the Asset Classification Committee are often familiar with the borrower, the collateral or the circumstances giving rise to the concerns.  For the remaining portion of the portfolio, comprised of “pass” loans, the loss percentages discussed above are applied to each loan category.
 
The calculated reserve amount as re-evaluated by management is compared to the actual amount recorded in the allowance at the end of each quarter, and a determination is made as to whether the allowance is adequate or needs to be increased.  Management’s determination of adequacy may be reflected as an adjustment to the reserve that is unallocated to a major category of loan.    The unallocated allowance is based upon our evaluation of various factors that are not directly measured in the determination of the general and specific allowances.  Management increases the amount of the allowance for loan losses by charges to income and decreases it by loans (charged-off) net of recoveries.

Note 7 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less treasury stock. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares used to compute basic EPS plus the incremental amount of potential common stock from stock options, determined by the treasury stock method.

Options to purchase an additional 23,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because their exercise price resulted in them being anti-dilutive.  The warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury to purchase up to 175,772 shares of common stock was included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, because the warrant’s exercise price was less than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during those periods.


Note 8 – Preferred Stock

On February 6, 2009, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 4,781 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), liquidation value $1,000 per share and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 175,772 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate issuance price of $4.8 million in cash.
 
On November 29, 2012, all of the Series A Preferred Stock issued to Treasury was sold by Treasury as part of its efforts to manage and recover its investments under TARP.  While the sale of these preferred shares to new owners did not result in any proceeds to The Company and did not change The Company's capital position or accounting for these securities, it did eliminate restrictions put in place by Treasury on TARP recipients.  The Treasury retained its related warrants to purchase up to 175,772 shares of The Company’s common stock.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by The Company at any time. The Warrant has a 10-year term and is immediately exercisable upon its issuance, with an exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, equal to $4.08 per share of the common stock.  Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant that it holds.
 
In accordance with the relevant accounting pronouncements, the Company recorded the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants within the Stockholders’ Equity line item included on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants were initially recognized based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance. As a result, the Series A Preferred Stock’s carrying value is at a discount to the liquidation value or stated value. In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 68, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock, the discount is considered an unstated dividend cost that is amortized over the period preceding commencement of the perpetual dividend using the effective interest method, by charging the imputed dividend cost against retained earnings and increasing the carrying amount of the Series A Preferred Stock by a corresponding amount. The discount is therefore being amortized over five years using a 6.71% effective interest rate.

The total stated dividends (whether or not declared) and unstated dividend cost combined represents a period’s total preferred stock dividend, which is deducted from net income to arrive at net income available to common shareholders on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants were initially recognized based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance in accordance with ASU 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Topics.  As a result, the value allocated to the Warrant is different than the estimated fair value of the Warrant as of the grant date. The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the Warrant as of the grant date:

Dividend yield 1.50%
Expected life (years) 10.0
Expected volatility 37%
Risk-free rate 3.05%
Fair value per warrant at grant date $ 4.15

Note 9 – Commitments

Commitments to extend credit, including unused lines of credit, totaled $11.8 million and $11.7 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  Commitments to extend credit are arrangements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates (of less than one year) or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the customer.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates creditworthiness for commitments on an individual customer basis.

Undisbursed loan proceeds, primarily for real estate construction loans, totaled $4.1 million and $4.2 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  These amounts are excluded from loan balances.

ITEM 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements
 
This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which are based on assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company.  These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the word “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar words.  The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is uncertain.   These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which we operate, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, and statements regarding our mission and vision. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations, and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors including, but not limited to: the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs that may be impacted by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets and may lead to increased losses and non-performing assets in our loan portfolio, result in our allowance for loan losses not being adequate to cover actual losses, and require us to materially increase our reserves; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; deposit flows; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; adverse changes in the securities markets; results of examinations of by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) or “Federal Reserve”) and our bank subsidiary by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; computer systems on which we depend could fail or experience a security breach, or the implementation of new technologies may not be successful; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; legislative or regulatory changes such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and implementing regulations that adversely affect our business including changes in regulatory policies and principles, and the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules including changes related to Basel III; the time it may take to lease excess space in Company-owned buildings; future legislative changes affecting the United States Department of Treasury TARP Capital Purchase Program; and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  Accordingly, these factors should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  We undertake no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Regulatory Matters

On September 28, 2010, the Company and the Bank each entered into an Order to Cease and Desist with the OTS (individually an “Order” and collectively the “Orders”).  As a result of the elimination of the OTS on July 21, 2011, the FRB, the Company’s new primary bank regulator, and the OCC, the Bank’s new primary bank regulator continued to administer the Company’s and Bank’s Order, respectively. On August 14, 2012, the OCC terminated the Bank’s Order and on February 1, 2013 the Federal Reserve terminated the Company’s Order.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  The most significant estimates are the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate owned and repossessed assets, valuation of deferred tax assets and valuation of mortgage servicing rights.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Accounting for the allowance for loan losses involves significant judgment and assumptions by management, which has a material impact on the carrying value of net loans.  Management considers this accounting policy to be a critical accounting policy. We maintain an allowance for loan losses consistent, in all material respects, with the GAAP guidelines.  The allowance has three components: (i) a formula allowance for groups of homogeneous loans, (ii) a specific valuation allowance for identified problem loans and (iii) an unallocated allowance. Each of these components is based upon estimates that can change over time.  The formula allowance is based primarily on historical experience and as a result can differ from actual losses incurred in the future.  The history is reviewed at least quarterly and adjustments are made as needed.  Various techniques are used to arrive at specific loss estimates, including historical loss information, discounted cash flows and fair market value of collateral.  The use of these techniques is inherently subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates.  For further details, see “Results of Operations - Provision for Loan Losses” included in this Form 10-Q.
 
The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of incurred credit losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The estimate of the allowance is based on a variety of factors, including past loan loss experience, the current credit profile of borrowers, adverse situations that have occurred that may affect a borrower's ability to meet their financial obligations, the estimated value of underlying collateral, general economic conditions, and the impact that changes in interest rates and employment conditions have on a borrower's ability to repay adjustable-rate loans.
 
 
34

 
The fair value of impaired loans is determined using a discounted cash flow basis or the fair value of each loan’s collateral for collateral-dependent loans as determined, when possible, by an appraisal of the property, less estimated costs related to liquidation of the collateral.  The appraisal amount may also be adjusted for current market conditions.  Adjustments to reflect the fair value of collateral-dependent loans are a component in determining our best estimate of the allowance for loan losses.

Interest is generally not accrued on any loan when its contractual payments are more than 90 days delinquent unless collection of interest is considered probable.  In addition, interest is not recognized on any loan where management has determined that collection is not reasonably assured.  A nonaccrual loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected.

Real estate owned and repossessed assets primarily represents real estate and other assets which the Bank has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, real estate owned and repossessed assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations when possible, by an appraisal of the property, such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Fair value adjustments on real estate owned and repossessed assets are recognized within results of operations.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had recorded a net deferred income tax asset (which is included in other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) of $528,000 and $525,000, respectively.  The realization of deferred income tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  “More likely than not” is defined as greater than a 50% probability of occurrence.  All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed.  Management’s assessment is primarily dependent on historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income, which are directly related to the Company’s core earnings capacity and its prospects to generate core earnings in the future.  In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we examine our historical cumulative trailing three-year pre-tax income (loss) quarterly.  If we have historical cumulative income, we consider this to be strong positive evidence.  To the extent we do not have cumulative income, we examine this to determine if there were any unusual or non-recurring items which would not be indicative of our operating results or expected to occur in the future.  The Company will not be able to recognize the tax benefits on future losses until it can show that it is more likely than not that it will generate enough taxable income in future periods to realize the benefits of its deferred tax asset and loss carryforwards.

The Company, however, cannot give any assurance that in the future its deferred tax asset will
 
 
35

 
not be impaired since such determination is based on projections of future earnings, which are subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given uncertain economic outlook, banking industry conditions and other factors.

The Company accounts for MSR in accordance with ASC 860-50, Servicing Assets and Liabilities, which provides that changes in fair value will be reported in earnings in the period in which the change occurs.  See Note 2 of the Selected Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for information regarding the Company’s methodology to estimate the fair value of MSR.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-06, Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution. ASU No. 2012-06 clarifies that when an entity recognizes an indemnification asset as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution and subsequently, a change in the cash flows expected to be  collected on the indemnification asset occurs, as a result of a change in cash flows expected to be collected on the assets subject to indemnification, the reporting entity should subsequently account for the change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification. Any amortization of changes in value should be limited to the contractual term of the indemnification agreement. The amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2012-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU No. 2013-01 clarifies that ASU No. 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Entities with other types of financial assets and financial liabilities subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement are no longer subject to the disclosure requirements in ASU No. 2011-11. The amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-01 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU requires an entity to provide information about the amounts of reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and to present either on the face of the statement where net income is presented, or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have a material impact on

the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
 
Financial Condition
 
Total assets of the Company at March 31, 2013 were $175.0 million, a decrease of $7.1 million or 3.9%, from $182.1 million at December 31, 2012.  The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in loans held for sale and cash and cash equivalents.

Loans (excluding loans held for sale and the allowance for loan losses) were $148.4 million at both March 31, 2013 and at December 31, 2012.  Commercial business loans increased $2.0 million, or 8.6%, to $25.2 million offset by a decline in permanent commercial non-residential loans of $1.9 million, or 2.6%.  Loans held for sale were $748,000 at March 31, 2013, a $2.5 million decrease from $3.2 million at December 31, 2012.

Deposits decreased $4.1 million, or 2.6%, to $152.4 million at March 31, 2013, compared with $156.5 million at December 31, 2012.  The decrease is primarily the result of a seasonal decrease in demand deposit accounts.

The Bank began using CDARS deposits in 2005 as an alternative source of funds in addition to advances from the FHLB.  These are insured time deposits obtained through the nationwide Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service.  They range in maturities from one month to three years, and are generally priced higher than locally obtained deposits but are generally less expensive than other brokered deposits.  Included in certificates of deposit were CDARS deposits of $1.0 million at March 31, 2013.  There were no CDARS deposits included in certificates of deposit at December 31, 2012.

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $52,000, or 0.3% and was $20.9 million at March 31, 2013 compared with $20.8 million at December 31, 2012.  The change in shareholders’ equity during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily attributable to net income of $140,000 offset by preferred stock dividends of $60,000.

Results of Operations

Net Income.  Net income excluding the preferred stock dividend and discount accretion for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $140,000 and $174,000, respectively.  After preferred stock dividend and discount accretion of $79,000 and $77,000, net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $61,000 and $97,000, or $0.08 and $0.13 per diluted share, respectively.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income for the first quarter of 2013 decreased $53,000 compared with the first quarter of 2012.  Average loans decreased $159,000, or 0.1%, to $148.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $149.0 million for the first quarter of 2012.  At the same time, the average yield on loans decreased 18 basis points (“bp”) for the first quarter of 2013 to 5.33% compared to 5.51% for the first quarter of 2012 as a result of a continued low interest rate environment and non-performing loans.  Average interest bearing deposits increased $6.0 million, or 5.3%, to $118.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $112.8 million for the first quarter of 2013.  The cost of average interest bearing liabilities declined six bp to 0.36% for the first quarter of 2013 compared to 0.42% for the first quarter of 2012.  The interest rate spread, which is the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, decreased 40 bp to 4.30% for the first quarter 2013 compared to 4.70% for the first quarter of 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $60,000 for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $90,000 for the first quarter of 2012.  The provisions in these periods reflect management’s assessment of asset quality, overall risk, and estimated loan impairments and were considered appropriate in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that represents management’s best estimate of the probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  There were no net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2013.  Net loan charge-offs were $36,000 for the first quarter of 2012.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2013 increased $135,000, or 32.7%, to $548,000 compared with $413,000 for the first quarter of 2012. The increase in noninterest income during the first quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage banking income.  Gain on sale of loans income increased $112,000 to $222,000 for the first quarter of 2013 compared with $110,000 for the first quarter of 2012, as a result of an increase in mortgage loans originated for sale.

Noninterest Expense.   Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2013 increased $170,000, or 8.6%, to $2.1 million compared to $2.0 million for the comparable period in 2012.  The increase was primarily related to an increase of $119,000 in compensation and benefits expense and an increase of $50,000 in other expenses offset with a decrease of $48,000 in real estate owned and repossessed assets expense.
 
Provision for income taxes:  Provision for income taxes was $78,000 for the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of $35,000 or 31.0%, compared to $113,000 for the first quarter of 2012.

Asset Quality

Nonaccrual loans were $4.2 million at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 25.7%, compared with $5.7 million at December 31, 2012.  The decrease is due primarily to one commercial business loan for $1.4 million that was transferred to real estate owned and repossessed assets.

Loans with balances totaling $11.1 million at March 31, 2013 and $11.6 million at December 31, 2012 were considered to be impaired.  At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were 22 and 21 impaired loans, respectively.  In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, total estimated impairments of $473,000 were specifically reserved on impaired loans at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The Bank had $1.8 million and $344,000 of real estate owned and repossessed assets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The $1.4 million increase in 2013 is due to one commercial business loan secured by land, a floating vessel and investment securities for $1.4 million that was transferred to real estate owned and repossessed assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and principal and interest payments on loans.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.  The Company's primary investing activity is loan originations.  The Company maintains liquidity levels it believes to be adequate to fund loan commitments, investment opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments.  In addition, the Bank has available a line of credit with the FHLB generally equal to the lower of 25% of the Bank’s total assets, or pledged collateral of approximately $44.8 million at March 31, 2013, of which $42.8 million was unused.    At March 31, 2013, $2.0 million of the borrowing line was committed to secure public deposits.  There was $3.0 million outstanding on the borrowing line in addition to $2.0 million of the line committed to secure public deposits at December 31, 2012.

As disclosed in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.1 million to $11.6 million as of March 31, 2013, from $18.8 million as of December 31, 2012.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Net cash of $3.3 million was used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and consisted principally of loan originations, net of principal repayments and purchases of investment securities available for sale.  The $7.1 million of cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily consisted of a $4.4 million net decrease in demand deposits and $3.0 million in repayments on FHLB advances.

At March 31, 2013, management had no knowledge of any trends, events or uncertainties that may have material effects on the liquidity, capital resources, or operations of the Company.
 
The Company and the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2013.  See Note 6 of the Selected Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contained herein for information regarding the Bank's regulatory capital position at March 31, 2013.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  An evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the registrant’s senior management.  The registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and or fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls:  In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company did not make any significant changes in, nor take any corrective actions regarding, its internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
