NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Ohio Legacy Corp (“the Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Bank & Trust, National Association (“Bank”) (formerly known as Ohio Legacy Bank, National Association). Ohio Legacy Corp is approximately 76% owned by Excel Bancorp, LLC, a registered bank holding company. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. References to the Company include Ohio Legacy, consolidated with its subsidiary, the Bank.

 

Ohio Legacy is a bank holding company incorporated on July 1, 1999 under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Bank began operations on October 3, 2000. The Bank provides financial services through its full-service offices in North Canton and St. Clairsville, Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and certificate of deposit accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business and consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by residential and commercial real estate. Other financial instruments that potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold. On March 23, 2010, the Bank received approval from the Comptroller of the Currency of its application to commence fiduciary powers pursuant to 12 USC 92a. Subsequently, the Bank opted to include “Trust” in its name and announced a name change to Premier Bank & Trust, N.A. effective April 2010. The Bank also began to offer investment brokerage services in April 2010.

 

These consolidated financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2012, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accounting principles used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are in compliance with U.S. GAAP. However, the financial statements were prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

 

The financial information presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which includes information and disclosures not presented in this report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has consistently followed those policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

 

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, judgments about the other than temporary impairment of securities, fair value of financial instruments, valuation of deferred tax assets and the fair value of assets acquired in settlement of loans are particularly subject to change.

 

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on reported net income or shareholders’ equity.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

No. 2011-04 | Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs: In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). The new guidance in this ASU results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. and international accounting principles. Certain amendments clarify the FASB‘s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. These amendments also enhance disclosure requirements surrounding fair value measurement. Most significantly, an entity will be required to disclose additional information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements including quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition, but the additional disclosures are included in Note 6.

 

No. 2011-05 |Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): In June 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The ASU eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. An entity can elect to present the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, or how earnings per share is calculated or presented. The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of the fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this amendment changed the presentation of the statement of comprehensive income for the Company to two consecutive statements instead of presented as part of the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.

No. 2011-12 | Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU No. 2011-05: In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12 that deferred the effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of the new guidance will impact the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is equal to net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares that may be issued upon the exercise of stock options and stock warrants. The following table details the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

 

   For the Three Months Ended   For the Nine Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2012   2011   2012   2011 
BASIC:                    
Net income (loss)  $137,220   $(280,069)  $(44,715)  $(987,580)
Weighted average common shares outstanding   1,971,453    1,971,456    1,971,455    1,971,456 
Basic income (loss) per share  $0.07   $(0.14)  $(0.02)  $(0.50)
                     
DILUTED:                    
Net income (loss)  $137,220   $(280,069)  $(44,715)  $(987,580)
Weighted average common shares outstanding   1,971,453    1,971,456    1,971,455    1,971,456 
Dilutive effect of stock options   -    -    -    - 
Total common shares and dilutive potential common shares   1,971,453    1,971,456    1,971,455    1,971,456 
Diluted income (loss) per common share  $0.07   $(0.14)  $(0.02)  $(0.50)

 

The dilutive potential common shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise was anti-dilutive totaled 128,105 at September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

At the annual meeting held on May 15, 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to its articles of incorporation to effect a 1 for 10 reverse stock split. On August 21, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized filing with the Ohio Secretary of State’s office an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to effect the 1 for 10 reverse stock split effective September 18, 2012. All share and related option information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares and options resulting from this action. The reverse split reduces the number of common shares outstanding from 19,714,564 to 1,971,431. Cash was paid for 25.4 fractional shares. The reverse split also affected the common stock underlying stock options that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split as well as the strike price of those options which was adjusted to a price equal to ten times the original strike price. The number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock was not affected by the reverse stock split. Earnings per share, outstanding common shares and weighted average common shares outstanding have been retroactively restated to reflect this change.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

 

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 27 securities, one of which was in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer.

Mortgage-backed securities-residential

 

The Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio includes one non-agency security with a fair value of $187,912 which represents an unrealized loss of approximately $11,625 at September 30, 2012; the estimated fair value has been less than its amortized cost for twelve months or more. This non-agency mortgage-backed security was rated Caa1 by Moody’s on April 21, 2011 and BBB- on July 12, 2011 by Standard & Poor’s rating services. This security is senior to several subordinate classes of securities that together are collateralized by a pool of residential mortgages. No losses incurred on the mortgages in the pool have been assigned to the senior classes. Although the borrowers are not required to make principal payments during the initial 10 year period, 80% of the original principal has been repaid as of September 30, 2012. There are no negative amortization loans in the pool and none of the loans are subprime, Alt A or similar type of high-default product. Based on these factors, as of September 30, 2012, the Company believes there is no OTTI and does not have the intent to sell this security and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

The unpaid principal balance of loans reflects the borrowers’ principal balance and is not reduced by partial charge-offs previously recorded by the Company. For nonaccrual loans, the recorded investment in loans is reduced by the full amount of payments received from the borrower, whereas the unpaid principal balance will continue to reflect an allocation of the borrower’s payment between principal and interest. Generally accepted accounting principles define the recorded investment in loans as the sum of unpaid principal balance, accrued interest receivable, and deferred fees and costs minus partial charge-offs. Because accrued interest receivable, deferred fees and deferred costs are not material, the recorded investment in loans presented in the accompanying tables does not include these balances.

 

The following tables present the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the recorded investment of loans by portfolio class and based on impairment method.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

 

Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and classified as impaired. TDRs are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a TDR is considered a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For TDRs that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

 

The following tables report the balance of TDRs outstanding and related information as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

 

       Outstanding Recorded Investment

TDR loan commitments outstanding            $6,000 

 

The Home Equity modification related to a change in payment through the re-amortization of the remaining balance and an increase in the interest rate.  

 

The modifications of the Commercial class generally relate to maturity date extensions as well as rate and payment modifications.  The payment modifications adjusted the remaining amortization of the outstanding loan balance.  Generally, interest rates are either maintained at the same rate or increased for modifications in the Commercial class.  The advance of funds “post-modification” related to equipment purchases.

 

The modifications of the Non-Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate class related to a restructuring of payment, interest rate, term and amortization.  For each loan, the interest rate was either increased or was unchanged.  The loan term was left unchanged or shortened.  The amortization period was lengthened up to 7 years with the loan-to-value of each loan remaining within Bank credit policy limits. The increase in balances “post-modification” related to the advance of new funds to pay delinquent real estate taxes.

 

The Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate modifications were the result of matching the expiration date of the real estate holding company debt with the debt of the operating entity.

 

18
 

 

A loan is typically considered to be in payment default once it is eleven days contractually past due under the modified terms. During the three and nine months ending September 30, 2012, there was one non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan identified as a TDR totaling $290,285 for which a payment default occurred during the prior twelve months following the modification. The payment default did not result in a charge off or a change in the allowance for loan and lease losses.

 

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the company’s internal underwriting policy.

 

The following table includes TDR related activity for the three and nine months ended September 30:

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2012   2011   2012   2011

TDR related increase (decrease) in the allowance for loan loss       $0        $0        $0        $0 
TDR charge offs        0         0         0         0 

 

No loans were modified during the three or nine months ending September 30, 2012 that had a significant payment delay and did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring.

 

Credit Quality Indicators:

 

The Company classifies all non-homogeneous loans such as commercial and commercial real estate loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk into four non-classified categories (i.e. passing grade loans) and three categories of classified loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans. Loans not analyzed as part of homogeneous groups include commercial, commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, and construction and development loans. Homogeneous groups of loans are not typically risk rated unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. A loan may also be separated from the homogeneous pool and individually risk rated due to recurrent delinquency problems, typically 60 to 89 days past due. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

NOTE 5 – ASSETS ACQUIRED IN SETTLEMENT OF LOANS

 

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. Expenditures that improve the fair value of the property are capitalized. The Company makes periodic reassessments of the value of assets held in this category and records valuation adjustments or write-downs as the reassessments dictate.

 

Assets acquired in settlement of loans were as follows:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2012   2011 
Interest in limited liability company  $1,255,437   $1,255,437 
Residential real estate   79,155    201,154 
Commercial real estate   263,000    292,251 
Construction and development   540,707    263,910 
Total  $2,138,299   $2,012,752 

 

The interest in the limited liability company was obtained through a U.S. Bankruptcy Code 363 sale. The limited liability company was formed by the lead bank for the banks participating in the project financing to acquire title to the real estate, conduct the operation of the facility, and market the real estate and the operations of the business for sale. The carrying value of its interest is based upon the estimated fair value of the real estate less costs to sell.

Direct write-downs of assets acquired in settlement of loans totaled $87,636 and $70,148 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Direct write-downs of assets acquired in settlement of loans totaled $57,186 and $70,148 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial asset:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

 

Certificate of Deposit in Financial Institution: The fair value of certificates of deposit maintained with financial institutions is based upon discounted cash analyses, using interest rates currently offered for similar time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Securities: The fair values for securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).

 

Loans Held For Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan resulting in Level 2 classification.

 

Loans: Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: Fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

 

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

 

Federal Bank Stock: It is not practical to determine the fair value of federal bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

 

Assets Acquired in Settlement of Loans: Assets acquired in settlement of loans are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of assets acquired in settlement of loans is generally based on real estate appraisals. Appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

 

21
 

 

Annual appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. For commercial impaired loans and other real estate owned, if the carrying value is less than $250,000, the Company may obtain a property evaluation by an independent company instead of an appraisal. The Company uses an independent third party appraisal management company for the management of appraisal ordering and review. The appraisal management company reviews the assumptions and approaches, utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics and provides a written review report to the Company. Appraised values or evaluation values are always discounted by at least ten percent for selling costs to arrive at fair value. In some cases, and when justified through appropriate documentation, additional discounting is reflected to allow for changing market conditions, property condition or increasing vacancy.

 

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Other Borrowings: The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value and its classification is correlated to the underlying financial instrument.

 

Off-balance Sheet Instruments: Fair values for off-balance sheet commitments are nominal and are not material.

Level 3 securities are priced by a third party vendor and consist of non-rated municipal bonds of a single issuer. The vendor uses internal quality ratings that are a proprietary, internal data management tool to group municipal securities into sectors by perceived credit quality and correlation to the overall municipal market. Data gathered can be categorized as indicative data (terms and conditions data) and market data which are inputs used in price generation. Market data is comprised of various inputs needed to generate or adjust the variables required by the vendors pricing system. Examples of these market inputs are trades, bid price or spread, two-sided markets, quotes, benchmark curves including but not limited to Treasury benchmarks and LIBOR and swap curves, market data feeds such as MSRB, new issues, financial statements, discount rate, capital rates, and trustee reports. They rely on the expertise and judgment of its pricing analysts to gather and identify relevant information to use in formulating pricing opinions.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into or out of a level as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2012.

NOTE 7 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

As discussed in Note 2, the Company completed a 1 for 10 reverse stock split effective September 18, 2012. The reverse stock split also affected the common stock underlying stock options including the maximum number of shares available for share-based awards, the number of underlying options outstanding, and the strike price of options previously granted and outstanding. All share-based award information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of options and the resulting higher exercise price.

 

Shareholders adopted the Ohio Legacy Corp 2010 Cash and Equity Incentive Plan in May 2010. The Plan permits the grant of share-based awards for a maximum of 200,000 shares of common stock. The Plan provides for awards of options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Options awards have vesting periods as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. All options currently outstanding have an original vesting period of five years. The Company has a policy of using authorized but unissued common shares to satisfy option exercises.

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. (Employee and management options are tracked separately.) The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

 

The following table depicts the activity under this Plan:

 

   2012 
   Options   Weighted Average
Exercise Price
 
Outstanding, January 1   128,185   $23.00 
Granted   -    - 
Forfeited   (80)   23.00 
Exercised   -    - 
Outstanding, September 30   128,105   $23.00 

 

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at September 30, 2012 was 7.78 years. The intrinsic value of options outstanding was $0. At September 30, 2012, there were 26,525 options that were exercisable. All nonvested outstanding options are expected to vest.

 

The compensation cost yet to be recognized for stock options that have been awarded but not vested is as follows:

 

For the remainder of 2012  $49,859 
  2013   197,811 
  2014   197,811 
  2015   98,436 
   $543,917 

 

NOTE 8 – REGULATORY MATTERS

 

Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: (i) well capitalized; (ii) adequately capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized; (iv) significantly undercapitalized; and (v) critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

 

At September 30, 2012, a valuation allowance of $4,416,779 was recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the Company’s net deferred tax assets to zero due primarily to losses sustained in prior years. As a result, income tax benefits related to net operating losses are not typically recorded. A portion of the change in the valuation allowance in each period is attributable to other comprehensive income.

 

Internal Revenue Code section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by net operating loss carryforwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change in ownership) of a loss corporation. Accordingly, utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against future taxable income upon change in control.

 

At February 19, 2010, a Stock Purchase Agreement between Ohio Legacy Corp and Excel Bancorp resulted in a section 382 limitation against pre-transaction Ohio Legacy Corp net operating loss carryforwards. The Company reduced the deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carryforwards and the valuation allowance by $1,039,000 at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, the Company further reduced the deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carryforwards and the valuation allowance by an additional $377,000 as a result of changes in the realizable amount of such net operating loss.

 

At December 31, 2011, after consideration of the reduction to pre-transaction net operating losses due to the section 382 limitation, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,246,000 that will expire as follows: $1,257,000 on December 31, 2027, $132,000 on December 31, 2028, $3,801,000 on December 31, 2029, and $2,056,000 on December 31, 2030. In addition, the Company had approximately $76,000 of alternative minimum tax credits that may be carried forward indefinitely.

 

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits recorded. The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly within the next twelve months.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

 

In the following section, management presents an analysis of Ohio Legacy Corp's financial condition as of September 30, 2012, and results of operations as of and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. This discussion is provided to give shareholders a more comprehensive review of the issues facing management than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Form 10-Q and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

OVERVIEW OF STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Company’s management has focused on a number of initiatives including the following:

 

·Evaluate the markets where the Company’s branch network operates to determine whether the operating costs and demographics fit with the Bank’s business plan. As a result, the following events occurred:
oA full service branch office was opened in February 2012 in St. Clairsville, Ohio expanding services offered to current and prospective clients at this Belmont County location. The branch office is located in the same plaza as the Bank’s Wealth office.
oDeposits totaling $74.3 million and net loans totaling $9.1 million, including criticized loans of $2.3 million, for two branch offices located in Wayne County, Ohio, were sold in October 2011.
·Develop fee-based revenue through the wealth management business started by the Bank in April 2010.
oAssets under management by the trust department totaled $118 million at September 30, 2012 and $105 million at year-end 2011.
·Evaluate the core processing system to reduce costs while expanding product offerings to remain competitive through advances in technology.
oThe Bank completed a core processing system conversion in April 2012. The second phase of product implementation is underway including imaging, customer relationship management software and other back-office initiatives.
·Deliver efficient and premier service and products for current and prospective clients and develop a sales culture throughout the Company.

 

In October 2011, Premier Bank & Trust completed the sale of two branch offices located in Wooster, Ohio, to The Commercial and Savings Bank of Millersburg, Ohio (“CSB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CSB Bancorp, Inc., under an agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into during June 2011. Under the terms of the Agreement, CSB purchased approximately $9 million in loans, net of an allocation of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses totaling $600,000, real estate, fixtures and equipment associated with the branch locations, and deposits and other liabilities of $75 million. CSB paid a premium of $3.5 million, or 5% of the average amount of assumed deposits during the ten day period prior to and the day of closing less a fixed stated amount of $166,000. In addition to the loans, real estate, and fixed assets sold to CSB, the transaction was funded with approximately $42 million in cash and $19 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. This transaction positions the Company to focus on our core market of Stark and Belmont Counties in Ohio, and provides future expansion potential. The impact of the branch sale is evident when comparing the results for the reported periods of 2012 with to the same period of 2011 particularly for deposit related noninterest income and overhead expenses.

 

The following key factors summarize the Company’s financial condition at September 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011:

 

·Total assets increased $25.0 million to $171.6 million from $146.6 million.
·Net loans increased $26.7 million to $135.0 million, and loans held for sale increased $9.5 million to $10.4 million.
·Total deposits increased $13.3 million to $117.2 million.
·Excess liquidity, higher deposit balances, and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank funded loan growth resulting in a $13.4 million reduction to cash and cash equivalents to $6.6 million compared to $20.0 million at year-end.
·Total shareholders’ equity increased $56,000 to $18.6 million. The increase in capital was the result of stock-based compensation expense of $148,000 which was partially offset by an operating loss of $45,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and other comprehensive loss of $47,000.

 

The following key factors summarize our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012:

 

·The Company recorded net income of $137,220 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to a loss of $280,069 for the same period in 2011.
·Net interest income improved $256,579 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
·The loan loss provision for the third quarter of 2012 was $117,375 compared to a negative loan loss provision of $108,874 for the year-ago quarter. The Company has benefited from improvements to the historical loss rates used in its estimate of the allowance for loan loss during both periods. Net recoveries of approximately $312,000 for the third quarter of 2011 enabled the Company to record a negative loan loss provision during that period.
·Noninterest income decreased $273,718 as gains on sales of securities declined by $270,016 and service charges and other deposit related fee income declined by $86,718 resulting from the sale deposits for two branch offices in October 2011.
29
 

 

·Noninterest expense decreased by $531,731 principally due to the elimination of overhead associated with the sold branches and the absence of branch disposal expenses totaling $166,687 incurred during the year-ago quarter.

 

The following key factors summarize our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

 

·The Company recorded a net loss of $44,715 for the first nine months of 2012 compared to a net loss of $987,580 for the same period of 2011.
·Net interest income improved $397,372 for the period in 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
·The loan loss provision for 2012 was $109,818 compared to a negative loan loss provision of $135,069 for the year-ago quarter.
·Noninterest income decreased $364,410 driven by a reduction in service charges and other deposit related fee income of approximately $270,000 from the sale of two branch offices in October 2011 and by a reduction in securities gains which were lower by $303,014 for the comparative periods. Trust and brokerage fee income increased $138,269.
·Noninterest expense decreased by $1,170,167. The decline was partly driven by the elimination of overhead associated with the sold branches and lower expenses for professional fees, data processing, and loan expenses including other real estate owned costs.

 

The following forward-looking statements describe our near term outlook:

 

·Margins may decline as interest earning assets continue to adjust to lower rates given the Federal Open Market Committee’s expectation to maintain a highly accommodative stance for monetary policy to support a stronger economic recovery. The FOMC has maintained the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to ¼ percent and currently anticipates that exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate are likely to be warranted at least through mid-2015. The FOMC also has the ability to influence longer term interest rates through its open market operations.
·It will be difficult to reduce our cost of funds significantly below current levels.
·Commercial lending, with an emphasis on commercial and industrial lending, and new services in trust, brokerage and wealth management are expected to expand;
·Credit quality will remain a primary focus of the Company, and costs associated with credit administration and collection efforts will remain high;
·The Bank’s costs associated with its regulatory risk profile including FDIC insurance and regulatory examination costs will remain elevated until asset quality and earnings improve.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates at a specific point in time that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, we have utilized available information including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming our estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. It is possible that the ultimate outcome as anticipated by management in formulating our estimates inherent in these financial statements may not materialize. Application of the critical accounting policies described below involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operation to similar businesses.

 

Allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries and decreased by charge-offs. We estimate the allowance balance by considering the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in our judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe the loan balance cannot be collected.

 

We consider various factors, including portfolio risk, economic environment and loan delinquencies, when determining the level of the provision for loan losses. We monitor loan quality monthly and engage an independent third party each quarter to help monitor and confirm our loan grading conclusions.

 

30
 

 

Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Another critical accounting policy relates to valuation of the deferred tax asset for net operating losses. Net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,246,000 will expire as follows: $1,257,000 on December 31, 2027, $132,000 on December 31, 2028, $3,801,000 on December 31, 2029, and $2,056,000 on December 31, 2030. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the related deferred tax asset for these carryforwards and other net deferred tax assets recorded by the Company to reduce the carrying amount of these assets to zero. Additional information is included in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION – September 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011

 

Assets. At September 30, 2012, total assets increased to $171.6 million, up $25.0 million from $146.6 million at December 31, 2011. The asset increase was principally due to an increase in funds provided by an increase in deposits of $13.3 million and a $12 million increase in short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $6.6 million at September 30, 2012, down $13.4 million from year-end 2011. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to an increase in lending activities.

 

Securities. Total securities available for sale had an estimated fair value of $12.3 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $10.7 million at year-end 2011. One security was sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 for a gain of $55,016. The net unrealized gain on the securities portfolio was $405,971 at September 30, 2012 compared to a net unrealized gain of $452,816 at December 31, 2011.

 

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale increased to $10.4 million at September 30, 2012 compared to approximately $896,000 at year-end 2011. The increase was driven primarily by a mortgage purchase participation (“MPP”) program whereby the Bank purchases a 50% interest in mortgage loans originated by brokers outside of the Bank’s market from another financial institution. At September 30, 2012, the balance of loans purchased through the MPP program totaled $8.4 million.

 

Loans and Asset Quality. Total loans, net of the allowance for loan loss and deferred loan fees, increased $26.7 million to $135.0 million, an increase of 24.6%. Loans criticized by management as special mention or substandard and not deemed impaired represented 5.3% of total loans at September 30, 2012, compared to 5.0% at December 31, 2011. Impaired loans on nonaccrual status represented 1.1% of total loans and totaled $1,457,796 at September 30, 2012, compared to $1,335,298, or 1.2% of total loans at December 31, 2011. Improving asset quality continues to be a prime objective for management. Outstanding loan balances are expected to increase over the remainder of the year through business development efforts. However expected loan growth may be constrained by continued economic weakness in the markets served by the Company and competitive pressure.

 

At September 30, 2012, owner occupied, commercial real estate classified as special mention included a $2.3 million participation loan originated in 2007 that had matured. Since the loan was past maturity, it was downgraded from a pass grade during the third quarter because the participating banks had not agreed on renewal terms for the borrower. The participation agreement requires approval of 100% of the sixty-six participating banks to renew the loan. This loan is also included in the 60-89 days past due category and is the principal reason that total past due loans increased to $4.2 million at September 30, 2012 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2012.

 

Allowance for loan losses. The balance of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2012, was $2,514,913 compared to $2,484,478 at year-end 2011. Loan loss provision expense of $117,375 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and loan loss provision expense of $109,818 was recorded for the first nine months of 2012. Recoveries on loans previously charged-off totaled $149,717 and loans charged off totaled $229,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. A negative loan loss provision of $108,874 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and a negative loan loss provision of $135,069 was recorded for the first nine months of 2011. Recoveries on loans previously charged-off totaled $371,180 and loans charged off totaled $327,234 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The amount of the allowance for loan loss is based on a combination of actual experiential factors such as historical losses for each category of loans, information about specific borrowers, and other factors, including delinquencies, general economic conditions and the outlook for specific industries, which are more subjective in nature.

 

Historical loan loss rates are regularly updated to reflect the most recent three years of loss experience. Loss rates have declined as loan charge offs recorded during the first nine months of 2009 have begun to roll out of the loan loss experience rate calculation for 2012. Reductions to the estimate of incurred losses in the loan portfolio for lower loss rates resulted in a reduction to the allowance for loan losses of approximately $1,047,000 at September 30, 2012 compared to year-end 2011. The specific allowance allocated to impaired loans declined approximately $36,000. These reductions were partially offset by the allowance for loan losses set aside for loan growth in the portfolio totaling approximately $508,000 and an increase in other subjective factors totaling approximately $605,000.

 

31
 

 

The general allowance allocated to loans not criticized by management totaled 1.85% of non-criticized loans at September 30, 2012, compared to 1.75% at year-end 2011. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance decreased to 1.83% at September 30, 2012, compared to 2.24% at year-end 2011. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of loans not individually identified as impaired and that excludes the amount of the allowance specifically allocated to impaired loans totaled 1.83% at September 30, 2012, compared to 2.22% at year-end 2011. Specific allocations of the allowance for impaired loans decreased to $83,430 at September 30, 2012 compared to $119,080 at year-end 2011.

 

Assets acquired in settlement of loans. These assets include other real estate owned (“OREO”) and an interest in a limited liability company acquired during 2010 that owns the real estate and operations of an indoor water park and resort obtained through a U.S. Bankruptcy Code 363 sale. The limited liability company was formed by the lead bank for the banks participating in the project financing to acquire title to the real estate, conduct the operation of the facility, and market the real estate and the operations of the business for sale. The carrying value of its interest is approximately $1.3 million and is based upon the estimated fair value of the real estate less costs to sell.

 

Other real estate owned consisted of eight properties and totaled approximately $883,000 at September 30, 2012 compared to nine properties with a carrying value of $757,000 at year-end 2011. Five properties were sold for a gain of $4,036, and two properties were transferred to OREO during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Direct valuation write-downs were recorded on four properties totaling $87,636 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Deposits. Total deposits increased $13.3 million to $117.2 million compared to year-end 2011. Certificates of deposit at September 30, 2012 included $16.9 million in deposits acquired from financial institutions subscribing to a national time deposit rate listing service compared to $15.5 million on deposit through this service at year-end 2011, an increase of $1.4 million. While this funding source is typically a less expensive source of funds than for comparable funds raised through the retail time deposit market, there is no opportunity to cross-sell other products and services to these depositors. It has also allowed the Bank to better manage the average term of its time deposits since retail depositors have migrated into money market funds as customers tend to be unwilling to lengthen time deposit maturities given the current low interest rate environment. It has partially replaced deposits sold through the branch sale during the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaling $19 million were used as a funding source following the sale of two branches during the fourth quarter of 2011. Since year-end, the Company has used short-term advances principally to fund the increase in mortgage loans held for sale.

 

Shareholders’ Equity. Shareholders’ Equity increased $56,000 to $18.6 million at September 30, 2012. This modest increase was the result of stock-based compensation expense of $148,000—a non-cash expense added back to shareholders’ equity so that it is capital neutral. This was partially offset by an operating loss of $45,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and other comprehensive loss of $47,000.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

 

The Company recorded net income of $137,220, or $0.07 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $280,069, or a loss of $0.14 per share, during the third quarter of 2011. Average shares outstanding totaled 1,971,453 for 2012 and 1,971,456 for 2011. Share and per share amounts are retroactively restated to reflect the effect of a 1 for 10 reverse stock split completed during the third quarter of 2012.

 

The following table sets forth information relating to the average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. These yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense, on an annualized basis, by the average balances of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities for the periods presented.

Net interest income. For the three months ending September 30, 2012, net interest income was $1,509,672, up $256,579 from the same period in 2011 while average total interest earning assets were down $13.7 million. Loans and liquid assets used to fund deposits sold during the third quarter of 2011 reduced the balance of earning assets. The yield on earning assets increased 69 basis points to 4.32% for the third quarter of 2012 from 3.63% for the comparable period of 2011. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities declined 26 basis points to 0.59% for the third quarter of 2012 from 0.85% for the same period in 2011. The net interest margin increased to 3.88% from 2.95%.

 

Interest Income. Total interest income for the third quarter of 2012 was $1.7 million, up approximately $140,000 from the third quarter of 2011. Average loans increased by $26 million for the comparative quarters which enabled the Company to improve interest income despite the decrease in earning assets and lower interest rates. The increase in loan balances was the major contributor to higher interest income. The volume change contributed approximately $293,000 toward interest income for the quarter. However, interest-bearing assets, including adjustable rate loans, continue to reprice downward as low interest rates prevailed during the quarter and originations of interest earning assets are booked at lower rates otherwise reducing the improvement in interest income due to the increase in loan balances. Lower yields on the loan portfolio partially offset the volume increase by approximately $111,000.

 

Interest expense. Interest on deposits declined $118,000 to $153,000 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The average yield on interest-bearing deposits dropped 15 basis points to 0.67%. The overall cost of interest bearing liabilities fell from 0.85% to 0.59%. Management expects it will be difficult to achieve further reductions to the cost of deposits since the current cost is already priced at historically low rates.

 

Provision for Loan Loss. The loan loss provision expense for the third quarter of 2012 was $117,375 compared to a negative loan loss provision totaling $108,874 recorded during the third quarter of 2011; negative loan loss provisions provide a positive contribution to net income. The provision for loan loss will fluctuate based on management’s evaluation of the credit within the loan portfolio, changes in credit loss experience factors, and incurred losses in the loan portfolio during the period. Improvements to the historical three year loan loss rates reduced the required allowance estimate for the pass-rated loan pools particularly in the commercial and construction and development classifications. Higher loan balances in these categories partially absorbed some of these reductions as well as an increase in other subjective factors used in the estimate of incurred losses. See also the discussion above for the Allowance for Loan Losses.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased $273,718 to $348,455 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $622,173 for the same quarter of 2011. The decrease was the result of smaller gains realized on the sale of securities for the comparative period and a reduction in service charges and other fees due to the sale of branch deposits during the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Gains on the sale of securities totaled $55,016 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $325,032 for the year ago quarter. Securities sold during 2012 totaled $806,170 compared to $5,818,639 for the 2011 quarter.

 

Service charges and other fees declined $86,718 to $71,237 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. This decline resulted from the sale of deposit accounts during the fourth quarter of 2011. Those accounts generated approximately $91,000 in service charges and other fees during the third quarter of 2011.

 

The Bank’s trust department and brokerage business generated $236,261 in gross fees during the third quarter of 2012, up from $196,278 for the comparative quarter of 2011. These services, introduced during the third quarter of 2010, provided asset management expertise for $118 million in assets as of September 30, 2012.

 

Gains on sale of loans increased $15,963 to $39,148 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same quarter of 2011. Refinancing activity due to record low mortgage loan rates remains strong.

 

Other income declined $8,190 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same quarter last year. The decline was principally due to the absence of rental income from leased office space located at one of the sold branch offices.

 

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense decreased $531,731 to $1,583,094 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $2,114,825 for the third quarter of 2011. Lower expenses were principally the result of the reduction in overhead associated with the branch offices sold during the fourth quarter of 2012 and the absence of branch disposal expenses totaling $166,687 for the third quarter of 2011. Those savings were partially reduced by costs associated with the opening of a new branch office in St. Clairsville, Ohio in February 2012. The significant changes are detailed below.

 

Salaries and benefits decreased $78,516 to $898,025 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $976,541 for the same period of 2011. Salaries and benefits costs associated with recently sold branches totaled approximately $93,000 for the third quarter of 2011. Compensation cost deferrals increased $52,235 based on higher lending volumes for the comparative periods; these expenses are deferred and reflected as a component of loan yield over the loan term in accordance with ASC 310-20-25, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.

 

Occupancy and equipment costs decreased $39,295 to $194,378 for the third quarter of 2012. Costs associated with recently sold branches during the third quarter of 2011 totaled approximately $68,000. Occupancy and equipment costs associated with the recently opened St. Clairsville branch totaled approximately $32,000.

 

Professional fees, including legal, accounting and other consulting expense, decreased $32,858 to $133,956 for the third quarter of 2012 principally due to a reduction in costs for legal expenses which were lower by $27,345 and audit and regulatory examination costs which were lower by $9,584.

 

Franchise tax increased $6,269 to $58,144 for the third quarter of 2012. Ohio franchise tax for financial institutions for the current year is based on the Bank’s net worth on the last day of the prior calendar year end; higher capital levels at year-end 2011 compared to year-end 2010 resulted in higher costs for 2012.

 

Data processing charges include costs for internet banking, core systems data processing and courier charges. This expense category decreased $115,963 to $66,855. This cost is principally driven by the costs associated with core processing and is largely driven by transaction volumes. Costs for the third quarter of 2012 also included reimbursement totaling $45,000 from a vendor for core processing conversion costs.

 

Marketing costs were up $4,936 for the third quarter of 2012 to $16,696. This increase is attributed to the difference in the timing when costs are incurred. General marketing costs for 2012 are expected to be similar to the costs incurred in 2011.

 

Deposit insurance and deposit related expenses decreased $22,491 to $69,262 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. FDIC insurance expense decreased by approximately $6,000. Both the change in the methodology in FDIC assessments implemented April 1, 2011 and the reduction in total assessment base due to lower average total assets contributed to the decrease. Other deposit related expenses declined due to the sale of the branch offices in 2011.

 

34
 

 

Other expenses decreased $80,776 during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Two categories of expense comprised most of this reduction. Loan related expenses declined $30,133 and other real estate owned expenses decreased $51,578.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

 

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, totaled $44,715, or a loss of $0.02 per share compared to a net loss of $987,580, or $0.50 per share during the same period of 2011. Average shares outstanding totaled 1,971,455 shares for the 2012 period and 1,971,456 for the 2011 period. Share and per share amounts are retroactively restated to reflect the effect of a 1 for 10 reverse stock split completed during the third quarter of 2012.

 

The following table sets forth information relating to the average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. These yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense, on an annualized basis, by the average balances of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities for the periods presented.

Net interest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net interest income was $4.1 million, up $397,372 from the same period in 2011. Total interest and dividend income decreased $53,715. This decrease in revenue was offset by a decrease of $451,087 in total interest expense. The net interest margin improved to 3.67% from 3.07%.

 

35
 

 

Interest income. Interest income decreased by $53,715 for the first nine months of 2012 compared to 2011. The continuation of low market interest rates resulted in floating rate assets repricing to lower interest rates over time and new interest earning assets booked at interest rates lower than prevailing rates on older loans held in the portfolio. Refinancing activity also pressures the yields on the existing portfolio of loans. The change in yield on earning assets caused interest income to decline by approximately $374,000. However this decline was partly offset by the change in the mix of earning assets from lower yielding investments to higher yielding loans; this allocation shift in volume improved interest income by about $320,000. Average earning assets declined by about $12.6 million as a result of assets used to fund the branch deposit sale in the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Interest expense. The sustained low interest rate environment was evident in the decline in the Company’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 0.59% from 0.96% for the first nine months of 2012. The cost of every funding category declined although the pace of reductions to cost of funds has slowed. The volume of average interest-bearing liabilities declined $19.3 million as a result of the sale of branch deposits in the fourth quarter of 2011. The average balance of other borrowings increased $19.6 million principally due to advances drawn at the Federal Home Loan Bank during the fourth quarter of 2011 to assist with funding the branch deposit sale.

 

Provision for loan losses. The provision for loan loss totaled $109,818 for the nine months of 2012 compared to a negative loan loss provision totaling $135,069 recorded in the year-ago period. Provision expense was principally driven by the increase in lending volume experienced during 2012. The provision for loan loss fluctuates based on management’s evaluation of the credits within the loan portfolio, changes in credit loss experience factors, and incurred losses in the loan portfolio during the period. Improvements to the historical three year loan loss rates reduced the required allowance estimate for the pass-rated loan pools particularly in the commercial and construction and development classifications. Higher loan balances in these categories partially absorbed some of these reductions as well as an increase in other subjective factors used in the estimate of incurred losses. See also the discussion above for the Allowance for Loan Losses.

 

Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased $364,410 to $982,577 for the first nine months of 2012 from $1,346,987 for the same period in 2011. The decrease was directly related to the sale of branch deposits during the fourth quarter of 2011 that resulted in lower service charges and fees for the first nine months of 2012 and lower securities gains. Significant changes to the components of noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011 are discussed below.

 

Service charges and other fees declined $250,499 to $213,240 for the 2012 period compared to the 2011. Service charges and fees associated with deposit accounts sold during the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled approximately $271,000 for the nine months of 2011.

 

The Bank’s trust department and brokerage business generated $679,597 in gross fees during the first nine months of 2012, up $138,269 from the comparative period of 2011.

 

Gains on sale of securities available for sale resulted in revenue of $55,016 for 2012 and $358,030 for 2011. One 30 year GNMA mortgage-backed security issued in 2009 was sold during 2012 in anticipation of higher prepayment rates that would reduce the yield on the bond. Securities sold in 2011 included $4.9 million of 30 year GNMA mortgage-backed securities issued during 2009. These securities were sold to reduce the price sensitivity of the Bank’s securities portfolio in a rising interest rate environment.

 

Gains on sale of loans increased $29,207 to $100,632 for the 2012 period. Low mortgage rates prevailed during 2012 contributing to a pickup in mortgage activity, and home purchase activity has improved in the Bank’s market area. Generally, long term fixed rate mortgage loans are sold to an investor to minimize interest rate risk.

 

Net losses recorded on the disposition of assets acquired in settlement of loans during the 2012 period totaled $83,600 compared to a loss of $122,233 for 2011. Direct write-downs on two properties totaled $87,636 which were partially offset by a gain on sale of two properties totaling $4,036 in 2012. The loss for 2011 included a direct write-down in value of $70,148 and net losses of $52,085 on the sale of six properties.

 

Noninterest expense. Total noninterest expense decreased $1,170,167 to $5.0 million compared to $6.2 million for the first nine months of 2011. Changes comparing the first nine months of 2012 to the same period of 2011 are described below.

 

Compensation costs decreased $310,809 to $2,746,642 for the first nine months of 2012. Compensation costs for 2011 associated with the two branch offices sold during the fourth quarter of 2011 totaled approximately $269,000. Compensation cost deferrals increased $106,866 based on higher lending volumes for the comparative periods; these expenses are deferred and reflected as a component of loan yield over the loan term in accordance with ASC 310-20-25, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. Compensation costs associated with the St. Clairsville branch opened in early 2012 totaled approximately $117,000 for 2012.

 

36
 

 

Occupancy and equipment costs decreased $145,765 for the first nine months of 2012. Costs associated with the sold branch offices totaled approximately $214,000 for the first nine months of 2011. Occupancy and equipment costs incurred for the new full service branch office in St. Clairsville totaled approximately $88,000 for the first nine months of 2012.

 

Professional fees decreased $84,732 for the first nine months of 2012. These costs include legal, accounting and auditing, regulatory examination and consulting fees. Costs in each of these areas were lower in 2012 except for consulting fees which increased $6,967.

 

Franchise tax increased $21,519 to $179,694 for the first nine months of 2012. Ohio franchise tax for financial institutions for the current year is based on the Bank’s net worth on the last day of the prior calendar year end; higher capital levels at year-end 2011 compared to year-end 2010 resulted in higher costs for 2012.

 

Data processing expense decreased $189,685 to $355,007 for the first nine months of 2012. This cost is largely driven by transaction volumes which were substantially reduced by the branch deposit sale in the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Marketing and advertising expense increased $13,283 to $64,401 for the first nine months of 2012. This increase is attributed to the difference in the timing when costs are incurred. General marketing costs for 2012 are expected to be similar to the costs incurred in 2011.

 

Deposit expense and insurance fees decreased $78,349 to $221,152 for the first nine months of 2012. FDIC insurance expense decreased by approximately $47,000. Both the change in the methodology in FDIC assessments implemented April 1, 2011 and the reduction in total assessment base due to lower average total assets contributed to the decrease. Bank charges for cash letter processing and armored car services were also lower by approximately $27,000.

 

Other expenses decreased $217,133 to $464,732 for the first nine months of 2012. Contributing to this reduction were lower other real estate owned expenses totaling $77,909, loan legal expenses totaling $55,801, insurance expense totaling $27,984, and directors’ fees totaling $15,000. Other loan origination expense deferrals increased $30,456 contributing to lower comparative costs based on higher lending volumes; these expenses are deferred and reflected as a component of loan yield over the loan term in accordance with ASC 310-20-25, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

At September 30, 2012, the Company had no active unconsolidated, related special purpose entities, nor did the Company engage in derivatives and hedging contracts, such as interest rate swaps, that may expose the Company to liabilities greater than the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The investment policy prohibits engaging in derivatives contracts for speculative trading purposes; however, the Company may pursue certain contracts, such as interest rate swaps, to execute a sound and defensive interest rate risk management policy.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

Liquidity refers to our ability to fund loan demand and customers’ deposit withdrawal needs and to meet other commitments and contingencies. The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure sufficient cash flow to meet all of our financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion in the context of managing the Company’s interest rate risk exposure. This ability depends on our financial strength, asset quality and the types of deposit and loan instruments we offer to our customers.

 

Our principal sources of funds are retail deposits gathered through our branch network, loan and security repayments, maturities and sales of securities, borrowings from the FHLB and capital transactions. Alternative sources of funds include certificates of deposits acquired from other financial institutions and credit unions through an internet listing service, repurchase agreements, a correspondent bank line of credit, brokered certificates of deposit and the sale of loans. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. We maintain investments in liquid assets based upon the assessment of our need for funds, our expected deposit flows, yields available on short-term liquid assets and the objectives of our asset/liability management program.

 

37
 

 

We have implemented a liquidity contingency funding plan that identifies liquidity thresholds and red flags that may provide evidence of an impending liquidity crisis. Additionally, the liquidity contingency plan details specific actions to be taken by management and the Board of Directors and identifies sources of emergency liquidity, both asset and liability-based, should we encounter a liquidity crisis. We actively monitor our liquidity position and analyze various scenarios that could impact our ability to access emergency funding in conjunction with our asset/liability and interest rate risk management activities.

 

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows provides details on sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $13.4 million to $6.6 million at September 30, 2012 since year-end 2011. Management considers the current liquidity level and the Bank’s additional funding capacity through available borrowing facilities and alternative funding sources to be sufficient for its current operations.

 

CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Total shareholders’ equity was $18.6 million at September 30, 2012, an increase of $56,000 from the prior year-end balance. Stock-based compensation expense of approximately $148,000 increased equity as this noncash expense is recorded as an increase to capital. The increase in equity was partly offset by the other comprehensive loss of $92,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. At September 30, 2012, the Bank was well capitalized under the provisions of prompt corrective action. See Note 8 for more information regarding the regulatory capital requirements for the Bank and the Bank’s capital ratios as of September 30, 2012.

 

The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company and by the Company to shareholders is subject to restrictions by regulatory agencies. These restrictions generally limit dividends to the sum of the current year’s earnings and the prior two years’ retained earnings, as defined. In addition, dividends may not reduce capital levels below the minimum regulatory requirements as described above. The Bank cannot declare dividends without prior approval from the Comptroller of the Currency in 2012.

As of September 30, 2012 an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
