FREDERICK COUNTY BANCORP, INC.

 

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1.  General:

 

Frederick County Bancorp, Inc. (the “Bancorp”), the parent company for its wholly-owned subsidiary Frederick County Bank (the “Bank” and together with Bancorp, the “Company”), was organized in September 2003. The Bank was incorporated under the laws of the state of Maryland in August 2000 and commenced banking operations in October 2001.  The Bank provides its customers with various banking services.  The Bank offers various loan and deposit products to its customers.  The Bank’s customers include individuals and commercial enterprises within its principal market area consisting of Frederick County, Maryland.  Additionally, the Bank maintains correspondent banking relationships and transacts daily federal funds sales on an unsecured basis with regional correspondent banks.  Note 4 discusses the types of securities the Bank purchases.  Note 5 discusses the types of lending in which the Bank engages.  The Bank does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.  The Bank has a direct subsidiary established to hold foreclosed properties known as FCB Hagerstown, LLC.  Bancorp also has a subsidiary trust, established to issue trust preferred securities, and one direct subsidiary established to hold foreclosed properties known as FCB Holdings, Inc.  See Note 7 for additional disclosures related to the subsidiary trust, which issued trust preferred securities.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions for Form 10-Q, Regulation S-X, and general practices within the banking industry.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The results shown in this interim report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other period or for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and could differ from actual results.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that pertain to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2. Earnings Per Share:

 

Earnings per share (“EPS”) are disclosed as basic and diluted.  Basic EPS is generally computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, whereas diluted EPS essentially reflects the potential dilution in basic EPS that could occur if other contracts to issue common stock were exercised.

Note 3.  Stock-Based Compensation Plans:

 

The Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan (“2001 Plan”) and 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”) provide that 260,000 shares and 250,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock will be reserved for the award of incentive stock options (“ISO”) and non-incentive stock options (“NQSO”) to purchase shares of common stock, and under the 2011 Plan, shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units.  Each plan has been presented to and approved by the Company’s shareholders.  At September 30, 2012, there are 200,000 shares remaining that are reserved for future grants under the 2011 Plan, but no shares remaining under the 2001 Plan.   The exercise price per share shall not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date on which such options were granted, subject to adjustments for the effects of any stock splits or stock dividends, and may be exercised not later than ten years after the grant date.  There were awards of stock-based compensation with respect to 50,000 shares of common stock made under the 2011 Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for a stock-based award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  That cost is recognized over the vesting period of the award.  Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $17 thousand and $91 thousand, respectively, compared to $20 thousand and $90 thousand, respectively, for the same periods in 2011.  As of September 30, 2012, there was $62 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options that will be expensed over the period ending April 30, 2014.

Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis.  This analysis requires management to consider various factors, which include: (1) duration and magnitude of the decline in value; (2) the financial condition of the issuer or issuers; and (3) the structure of the security. An impairment loss on a debt security is recognized in earnings only when: (1) we intend to sell the debt security; (2) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security.  In situations where we intend to sell or when it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security, the entire impairment loss must be recognized in earnings.  In all other situations, only the portion of the impairment loss representing the credit loss must be recognized in earnings, with the remaining portion being recognized in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes.  Credit loss is determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows of the security compared to the amortized cost of the security.  Realized gains or losses on the sale of investment and mortgage-backed securities are reported in earnings and determined using the amortized cost of the specific security sold.

Table of Contents

 

Credit quality indicators as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

 

Internally assigned grade:

 

Pass — loans in this category have strong asset quality and liquidity along with a multi-year track record of profitability.

 

Special mention — loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak. The credit risk may be relatively minor, yet constitute an increased risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific loan.

 

Substandard — loans in this category show signs of continuing negative financial trends and unprofitability and therefore, is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.

 

Doubtful — loans in this category contain weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

 

Loss - loans classified in this category are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable loans is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the loan has no recovery value, but that it is not practical to defer writing it off, even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.  Such credits should be recommended for charge-off.

The Company’s charge-off policy states after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the loan is deemed to be a loss, it will be charged to the Company’s established allowance for loan losses.  Consumer loans subject to the Uniform Retail Credit Classification are charged-off as follows: (a) closed end loans are charged-off no later than 120 days after becoming delinquent; (b) consumer loans to borrowers who subsequently declare bankruptcy, where the Company is an unsecured creditor, are charged-off within 60 days of receipt of the notification from the bankruptcy court; (c) fraudulent loans are charged-off within 90 days of discovery; and (d) death of a borrower will cause a charge-off to be incurred at such time an actual loss is determined.  All other types of loans are generally evaluated for loss potential at the 90th day past due threshold; and any loss is recognized no later than the 120th day past due threshold; each loss is evaluated on its specific facts regarding the appropriate timing to recognize the loss.

 

The Company has recorded partial charge-offs of $383 thousand in 2012, and $563 thousand in prior years on loans that are still in the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2012 for a aggregate total of 946 thousand.

Note 7. Trust preferred securities/junior subordinated debentures and other long-term borrowings:

 

In December 2006, Bancorp completed the private placement of an aggregate of $6.00 million of trust preferred securities through FCBI Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a trust subsidiary organized under Connecticut law, of which Bancorp owns all of the common securities of $186 thousand. The principal asset of the Trust is a similar amount of Bancorp’s junior subordinated debentures. The interest rate on the junior subordinated debentures was a fixed rate of 6.5375% through December 15, 2011, and is adjusted quarterly thereafter to 163 basis points over three-month LIBOR.  On September 15, 2012, the most recent interest reset date, the interest rate was adjusted to 2.01875% for the period ending December 15, 2012. The junior subordinated debentures mature on December 15, 2036, and may be redeemed at par, at Bancorp’s option, on any interest payment date.  The obligations of Bancorp with respect to the Trust’s preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by Bancorp of Trust’s obligations with respect to the trust preferred securities to the extent set forth in the related guarantee. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, Bancorp may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures, resulting in a deferral of distribution payments on the related trust preferred securities.  If the Company defers interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures, or otherwise is in default of the obligations, the Company would be prohibited from making dividend payments to its shareholders.

 

The trust preferred securities may currently be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy purposes up to 25% of Tier 1 capital, net of goodwill after its inclusion. The portion of the trust preferred securities not qualifying as Tier 1 capital may be included as part of total qualifying capital in Tier 2 capital, subject to limitation.

 

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had a total of $10.00 million in borrowings under its credit facility from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”).  This amount consists of two (2) $5.00 million borrowings with fixed interest rates of 3.29% and 3.05%, with a maturity of November 19, 2015.  Outstanding advances are secured by collateral consisting of a blanket lien on qualifying loans in the Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio and certain commercial real estate loans.

Note 9.  401(k) Profit Sharing Plan:

 

The Company has a Section 401(k) profit sharing plan covering employees meeting certain eligibility requirements as to minimum age and years of service.  Employees may make voluntary contributions to the Plan through payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis.  The Company has the discretion to make matching contributions of 100% of the employee’s contributions up to 4% of the employee’s salary.  A participant’s account under the Plan, together with investment earnings thereon, is normally distributable, following retirement, death, disability or other termination of employment, in a single lump-sum payment.

 

The Company made matching contributions of $41 thousand and $122 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $48 thousand and $144 thousand for the same periods in 2011.

 

Note 10.  Shareholders’ Equity:

 

Capital:

 

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company, once it exceeds $500 million in assets, and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject as of September 30, 2012.

 

17



Table of Contents

 

As of September 30, 2012, the most recent notification from the regulatory agency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification which management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

 

The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are presented in the following tables.

On June 25, 2012, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of its common stock, for an aggregate expenditure of not more than $5.0 million, through September 30, 2017, or earlier termination of the program by the Board of Directors.  Repurchases, if any, by the Company pursuant to this authorization are expected to enable the Company to repurchase its shares at an attractive price, and to provide a source of liquidity for the Company’s shares.  As of September 30, 2012, there have been no shares repurchased by the Company.  The Company’s prior repurchase program expired as of June 30, 2012 and had authorized the repurchase of up to 146,000 shares of its common stock, for an aggregate expenditure of not more than $4.5 million.  As of September 30, 2012 under the prior repurchase plan the Company had repurchased 27,986 shares totaling $342 thousand at an average price of $12.22.

Note 11.  Fair Value Measurements:

 

The Company follows the guidance issued by the FASB under ASC Topic 825 Financial Instruments regarding fair value measurements and disclosures topic. This guidance permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a Company commitment. Subsequent changes must be recorded in earnings. The Company has yet to apply the fair value option to any assets or liabilities. This guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Under this guidance, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this guidance are described below.

 

Level 1

 

Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets.  Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

Level 2

 

Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets.  Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities which use observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

Level 3

 

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

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

 

The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. government and agency securities, liquid mortgage products, active listed equities and most money market securities.  Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  As required by fair value measurement and disclosures guidance, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

 

The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include most investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, less liquid mortgage products, less liquid equities, state, municipal and provincial obligations.  Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence.  In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.

 

Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or market value.  Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable.  The value of real estate collateral is determined based on appraisal by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company.  The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable collateral is based on the net book value on the business’ financial statements and, if necessary, discounted based on management’s review and analysis.  Appraised and reported values may 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 client’s business.  Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

 

There were no transfers of any assets or liabilities between levels 1, 2 and 3 in 2012.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value disclosures for financial instruments as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is estimated to approximate the carrying amounts.

 

21



Table of Contents

 

Investment securities and restricted stock:

 

Fair values are based on quoted market prices for Level 1 and 2, except for certain restricted stocks where fair value equals par value because of certain redemption restrictions.

 

Loans:

 

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics.  Each portfolio is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms by performing and non-performing categories.

 

The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting estimated cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  The estimated cash flows do not anticipate prepayments.

 

Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it believes to be reasonable.  However, because there is no market for many of these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the fair value presented for loans would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.

 

Deposits:

 

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts).  The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.  The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.

 

Short-term borrowings:

 

The fair value of short-term borrowings is determined using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

Long-term borrowings:

 

The fair value of the long-term borrowings is determined using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

Junior subordinated debentures:

 

The junior subordinated debentures are unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company.  The Company has entered into a guarantee, which together with its obligations under the junior subordinated debentures and the declaration of trust governing the Trust provides a full and unconditional guarantee of the Trust’s preferred securities.  The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is determined using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.  See Note 7 for additional disclosures.

 

Accrued Interest:

 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

 

Item 2.       Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to Frederick County Bancorp, Inc.’s (“Bancorp”) and Frederick County Bank’s (the “Bank” and together with Bancorp, the “Company”) beliefs, expectations, anticipations and plans regarding, among other things, general economic trends, interest rates, product expansions and other matters.  Such forward-looking statements are identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “likely”, “unlikely”, “continue”, or similar terms and are subject to numerous uncertainties, such as federal monetary policy, inflation, employment, profitability and consumer confidence levels, both nationally and in the Company’s market area, the health of the real estate and construction market in the Company’s market area, the Company’s ability to develop and market new products and to enter new markets, competitive challenges in the Company’s market, legislative and regulatory changes, changes in accounting principles or the application thereof and other factors, and as such, there can be no assurance that future events will develop in accordance with the forward-looking statements contained herein.  Readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on any such forward-looking statement.  In addition, the Company’s past results of operations do not necessarily indicate its future results.

Table of Contents

 

General

 

The following paragraphs provide an overview of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  This discussion is intended to assist the readers in their analysis of the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto.

 

Bancorp, the parent company for the Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary, was organized in September 2003. The Bank was incorporated under the laws of the state of Maryland in August 2000 and commenced banking operations in October 2001.  The Bank provides its customers with various banking services, from four banking offices in the City of Frederick and one in Walkersville, Maryland.  The Bank offers various loan and deposit products to its customers.  The Bank’s customers include individuals and commercial enterprises within its principal market area consisting of Frederick County, Maryland.  Additionally, the Bank maintains correspondent banking relationships and transacts daily federal funds sales on an unsecured basis with regional correspondent banks.  Note 4 discusses the types of securities the Bank purchases.  Note 5 discusses the types of lending in which the Bank engages.  The Bank does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.  Bancorp also has a subsidiary trust, established to issue trust preferred securities, and two subsidiaries established to hold foreclosed properties.  The two subsidiaries established to hold foreclosed properties are known as FCB Holdings, Inc. (a direct subsidiary of Bancorp) and FCB Hagerstown, LLC (an indirect subsidiary of Bancorp).  See Note 7 for additional disclosures related to the subsidiary trust, which issued trust preferred securities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the industry in which it operates.  Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments.  Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.  Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event.  Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility.  The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. The estimates used in management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses require that management make assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time of estimation.  Differences in these assumptions and differences between the estimated and actual losses could have a material effect.  For discussions related to the critical accounting policies of the Company, refer to the sections in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis entitled “Income Taxes,” “Allowance for Loan Losses” and “Investment Portfolio.”

 

Loans

 

Loans increased by $14.28 million, or 6.72%, from December 31, 2011, to a balance of $226.59 million as of September 30, 2012, and by $16.9 million, or 8.06% from September 30, 2011.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits increased by $18.33 million, or 7.44%, from December 31, 2011 to a balance of $264.81 million as of September 30, 2012, and by $18.63 million, or 7.57% from September 30, 2011.  The balance of certificates of deposit increased to $112.35 million as of September 30, 2012 from $109.18 million as of December 31, 2011; while noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased by $7.65 million to $50.68 million from $43.03 million, NOW and savings accounts increased to $23.92 million from $22.21 million, and money market accounts increased to $77.87 million from $72.07 million, all for the same periods.  As a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd Frank”), since July 21, 2011 banks are no longer prohibited from paying interest on demand deposit accounts, including those from businesses.  At this time, there has been little impact from the elimination of this prohibition on the Bank’s interest expense, allocation of deposits, deposit pricing, loan pricing, net interest margin, ability to compete, ability to establish and maintain customer relationships, or profitability.

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is generated from the Company’s lending and investment activities, and is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings.  Net interest income is the difference between interest and rate-related fee income on earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities) and the interest paid on the funds (primarily deposits) supporting them.  The Company primarily utilizes deposits to fund loans and investments, with a small amount of additional funding from junior subordinated debentures and minimal short-term and long-term borrowings.  In future periods, the Company may utilize a higher level of short-term and long-term borrowings, including borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, federal funds lines with correspondent banks and repurchase agreements, to fund operations, depending on economic conditions, deposit availability and pricing, interest rates and other factors.

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

 

Net interest income (on a taxable-equivalent basis) was $2.89 million in 2012 and $2.82 million in 2011.  The change in net interest income was primarily driven by lower rates paid on certificates of deposit and junior subordinated debentures, coupled with a decrease in volume of certificates of deposit, which was partially offset by a slightly higher volume of loans and investments, but at lower rates.  Average earning assets increased by $10.57 million, or 3.75%, since September 30, 2011.  The yield on earning assets in 2012 decreased by 43 basis points to 4.60% from 5.03% in 2011.  The decrease of 44 basis points in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities primarily is the result of the lower rates paid on certificates of deposit and junior subordinated debentures.  The Company’s net interest margin was 3.92% and 3.97%, and the net interest spread was 3.74% and 3.73%, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Interest expense decreased 33.95% from $754 thousand in 2011 to $498 thousand in 2012, due to the reduced rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased to 0.86% in 2012 from 1.30% in 2011 primarily as a result in declines in rates on certificates of deposit, money market accounts and junior subordinated debentures.  The net interest margin is not expected to improve substantially through the re-pricing of the certificates of deposit portfolio since the majority are priced at current market interest rates.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

 

Net interest income (on a taxable-equivalent basis) was $8.50 million in 2012 and $8.23 million in 2011.  The change in net interest income was primarily driven by lower rates paid on certificates of deposit, money market accounts and junior subordinated debentures, and an improvement in the volume of taxable investment securities, which was partially offset by a slightly higher volume of loans, but at lower rates.  Average earning assets increased by $5.74 million, or 2.04%, since September 30, 2011.  The yield on earning assets in 2012 decreased by 37 basis points to 4.67% from 5.04% in 2011.  The decrease of 49 basis points in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities primarily is the result of the lower rates paid certificates of deposit, money market accounts and junior subordinated debentures.  The Company’s net interest margin was 3.95% and 3.92%, and the net interest spread was 3.76% and 3.64%, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Interest expense decreased 34.54% from $2.37 million in 2011 to $1.55 million in 2012, due to the reduced rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased to 0.91% in 2012 from 1.40% in 2011 primarily as a result in declines in rates on certificates of deposit, money market accounts and junior subordinated debentures, coupled with a decrease in volume of certificates of deposit.  The net interest margin is not expected to improve substantially through the re-pricing of the certificates of deposit portfolio since the majority are priced at current market interest rates.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income was $434 thousand and $989 thousand for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and was $527 thousand and $806 thousand for the same periods in 2011.  There were $236 thousand and $456 thousand in gains on sale of securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 respectively, while there were $383 thousand and $386 thousand for the same periods in 2011 respectively.  The Company purchased $4.50 million and $3.00 million in bank owned life insurance in May 2011 and September 2012, respectively, which has generated $39 thousand and $118 thousand of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $41 thousand and $61 thousand for the same periods in 2011.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense amounted to $2.49 million and $2.18 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Noninterest expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $7.24 million and $6.36 million, respectively.  The primary increase in noninterest expense for the three-month periods in 2012 compared to 2011 relates to an increase in the provision for foreclosed properties of $152 thousand, advertising of $45 thousand, and salaries expense of $73 thousand.  The primary increase in noninterest expense for the nine-month periods in 2012 compared to 2011 relates to an increase in the provision for foreclosed properties of $377 thousand, salaries expense of $208 thousand, and advertising of $163 thousand.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred an income tax expense of $82 thousand compared to a benefit of $3 thousand during the same period in 2011.  The effective tax rates for the three-month periods in 2012 and 2011 were 21.41% and (1.96)%, respectively.  The increase in income tax expense in 2012 is due to the higher level of pre-tax income and the lower proportion of tax-exempt income, which includes income from municipal securities and bank owned life insurance.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized income tax expense of $448 thousand compared to $184 thousand during the same period in 2011.  The effective tax rates for the nine-month periods in 2012 and 2011 were 28.59% and 21.30%, respectively.  The increase in income tax expense in 2012 is due to the higher level of pre-tax income and the lower level of tax-exempt income.

 

Market Risk, Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

Asset/liability management involves the funding and investment strategies necessary to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets and liabilities.  It also involves providing adequate liquidity while sustaining stable growth in net interest income.  Regular review and analysis of deposit and loan trends, cash flows in various categories of loans, and monitoring of interest spread relationships are vital to this process.

 

The conduct of our banking business requires that we maintain adequate liquidity to meet changes in the composition and volume of assets and liabilities due to seasonal, cyclical or other reasons.  Liquidity describes the ability of the Company to meet financial obligations that arise during the normal course of business.  Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the customers of the Company, as well as for meeting current and future planned expenditures.  This liquidity is typically provided by the funds received through customer deposits, investment maturities, loan repayments, borrowings, and income.  Management considers the current liquidity position to be adequate to meet the needs of the Company and its customers.

The Company seeks to limit the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations by managing the balance between interest sensitive assets and liabilities.  Managing to mitigate interest rate risk is, however, not an exact science.  Not only does the interval until repricing of interest rates on assets and liabilities change from day to day as the assets and liabilities change, but for some assets and liabilities, contractual maturity and the actual maturity experienced are not the same.  Similarly, NOW and money market accounts, by contract, may be withdrawn in their entirety upon demand and savings deposits may be withdrawn on seven days notice.  While these contracts are extremely short, it is the Company’s belief that these accounts turn over at the rate of five percent (5%) per year. The Company therefore treats them as having maturities staggered over all periods.  If all of the Company’s NOW, money market, and savings accounts were treated as repricing in one year or less, the cumulative gap at one year or less would be $(73.19) million.

 

Interest rate sensitivity is an important factor in the management of the composition and maturity configurations of the Company’s earning assets and funding sources.  An Asset/Liability Committee manages the interest rate sensitivity position in order to maintain an appropriate balance between the maturity and repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities that is consistent with the Company’s liquidity analysis, growth, and capital adequacy goals.  It is the objective of the Asset/Liability Committee to maximize net interest margins during periods of both volatile and stable interest rates, to attain earnings growth, and to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositors’ requirements and meet credit needs of customers.

 

The table below, “Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap Analysis,” summarizes, as of September 30, 2012, the anticipated maturities or repricing of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the Company’s interest rate sensitivity gap (interest-earning assets less interest-bearing liabilities), the Company’s cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap, and the Company’s cumulative interest sensitivity gap ratio (cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap divided by total assets).  A negative gap for any time period means that more interest-bearing liabilities will reprice or mature during that time period than interest-earning assets.  During periods of rising interest rates, a negative gap position would generally decrease earnings, and during periods of declining interest rates, a negative gap position would generally increase earnings.  The converse would be true for a positive gap position.  Therefore, a positive gap for any time period means that more interest-earning assets will reprice or mature during that time period than interest-bearing liabilities.  During periods of rising interest rates, a positive gap position would generally increase earnings, and during periods of declining interest rates, a positive gap position would generally decrease earnings.

 

It is important to note that the following table represents the static gap position for interest sensitive assets and liabilities at September 30, 2012.  The table does not give effect to prepayments or extensions of loans as a result of changes in general market interest rates.  Moreover, while the table does indicate the opportunities to reprice assets and liabilities within certain time frames, it does not account for timing differences that occur during periods of repricing.  For example, changes to deposit rates tend to lag in a rising rate environment and lead in a falling rate environment, although this will not always be the case.  Nor does it account for the effects of competition on pricing of deposits and loans.  For example, under current market conditions, market rates paid on deposits may not be able to adjust by the full amount of downward adjustments in the federal funds target rate, while rates on loans will tend to adjust by the full amount, subject to certain limitations.  In response to the weak economic climate, the Company has maintained a higher level of liquidity over the past year, mostly in interest-bearing deposits in other banks with the majority being held at the Federal Reserve.

In addition to the Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap Analysis, the Company also uses an earnings simulation model on a quarterly basis to closely monitor interest sensitivity and to expose its balance sheet and income statement to different scenarios.  The model is based on current Company data and adjusted by assumptions as to growth patterns, noninterest income and noninterest expense and interest rate sensitivity, based on historical data, for both assets and liabilities projected for a one-year period.  The model is then subjected to a “shock test” assuming a sudden prime interest rate increase of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points or a decrease for the same amounts, but not below zero.  The results show that with a rise in the prime interest rate the Company’s net interest income would increase by 0.03% for 100 basis points, but decreases by 1.68%, 2.72% and 3.20% for 200, 300 and 400 basis points, respectively.  A decrease in the prime interest rate of 100 basis points or more was not considered to be feasible since this would infer that the federal funds interest rate would fall below zero.

 

Certain shortcomings are inherent in this method of analysis.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricing periods, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.  Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates.  Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the loan.  Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed.  Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of a significant interest rate increase.

 

Critical Accounting Policy:

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company makes provisions for loan losses in amounts deemed necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.  The Company’s provision for loan losses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 was $360 thousand and $425 thousand, respectively, compared to $900 thousand and $1.52 million for the same periods in 2011.  The increase in the loan loss provision to $360 thousand from the $65 thousand recognized during the first six months was primarily related to one (1) commercial and industrial loan relationship that deteriorated quickly at the end of September 2012.  The provision for loan losses is determined based upon Management’s estimate of the amount required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses reflective of the risks in the Company’s loan portfolio.  At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $3.16 million and $3.22 million, respectively.  The change in the allowance from December 31, 2011 reflects the provision of $425 thousand less net charge-offs of $484 thousand, consisting of $497 thousand in charge-offs and $13 thousand in recoveries, as compared to a provision of $1.52 million less net charge-offs of $2.10 million, consisting of $2.13 million in charge-offs and $28 thousand in recoveries in the same period of 2011.  The $497 thousand of charge-offs in 2012 is a result of one (1) construction and land development relationship, two (2) commercial real estate relationships, one (1) residential real estate relationship, two (2) commercial and industrial relationships and three (3) consumer relationships, as compared to $2.13 million of charge-offs in 2011 as a result of one (1) construction and land development relationship, nine (9) commercial real estate relationships and three (3) commercial and industrial loans.

The Company prepares a quarterly analysis of the allowance for loan losses, with the objective of quantifying portfolio risk into a dollar amount of inherent losses.  The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on eight qualitative factors and one quantitative factor for each category and type of loan along with any specific allowance for adversely classified loans within each category.  Each factor is assigned a percentage weight and that total weight is applied to each loan category.  Factors are different for each category.  Qualitative factors include: levels and trends in delinquencies and nonaccrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of any changes in lending policies, the experience, ability and depth of management; national and local economic trends and conditions; concentrations of credit; quality of the Company’s loan review system; and regulatory requirements.  The total allowance required thus changes as the percentage weight assigned to each factor increased or decreased due to the particular circumstances, as the various types and categories of loans change as a percentage of total loans and as specific allowances are required due to increases in adversely classified loans.

 

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Contingencies Topic, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable; and (ii) ASC Receivables Topic, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the loan balance and either the value of collateral, or the present value of future cash flows, or the loan’s value as observable in the secondary market.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans are any loans that have been classified by internal measurements as substandard or worse.  Factors considered by Management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the projected potential cash flow of the borrower.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and borrower, including the length of the delay, the reason for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  The provision for loan losses included in the statements of operations serves to maintain the allowance at a level Management considers adequate.

 

The Company’s allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the specific allowance, the formula allowance and the pooled allowance.  Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur.  As a result of the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, Management’s estimate of loan losses and the related allowance could change in the near term.

 

The specific allowance component is used to individually establish an allowance for loans identified as impaired.  When impairment is identified, a specific reserve may be established based on the Company’s calculation of the estimated loss embedded in the individual loan.  Impaired loans are any loans that have been classified by internal measurements as substandard or worse.  Impairment testing includes consideration of the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record, support available from financial guarantors and the fair market value of collateral. These factors are combined to estimate the probability and severity of inherent losses.  Large groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment.

 

The formula allowance component is used for estimating the loss on internally risk rated loans meeting the Company’s internal criteria for classification as special mention are segregated from performing loans within the portfolio. These internally classified loans are then grouped by loan type (commercial, commercial real estate, commercial construction, residential real estate, residential construction or installment).  Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on Management’s estimate of the associated risk, complexity and size of the individual loans within the particular loan category. Classified loans are assigned a higher allowance factor than non-classified loans due to Management’s concerns regarding collectability or Management’s knowledge of particular elements surrounding the borrower. Allowance factors increase with the worsening of the internal risk rating.

 

The pooled formula component is used to estimate the losses inherent in the pools of non-classified loans.  These loans are then also segregated by loan type and allowance factors are assigned by Management based on delinquencies, loss history, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in lending policy, the experience and depth of Management, national and local economic trends, concentrations of credit, quality of loan review system and the effect of external factors (i.e. competition and regulatory requirements).  The allowance factors assigned differ by loan type.

 

Allowance factors and overall size of the allowance may change from period to period based on Management’s assessment of the above-described factors and the relative weights given to each factor.  In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses.  These agencies may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of collectibility based on information available to them at the time of their examination.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at September 30, 2012.  There can be no assurance, however, that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in the future, including as a result of changes in the economic assumptions underlying Management’s estimates and judgments, adverse developments in the economy, on a national basis or in the Company’s market area, or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers.

 

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the real estate loan portfolio constituted 85% and 89% of the total loan portfolio, respectively.  While this exceeds the 10% threshold for determining a concentration of credit risk within an industry, we do not consider this to be a concentration with adverse risk characteristics given the diversity of borrowers within the real estate portfolio and other sources of repayment.  An industry for this purpose is defined as a group of counterparties that are engaged in similar activities and have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.  Additionally, the loan portfolio does not include concentrations of credit risk in residential loan products that permit the deferral of principal payments that are smaller than normal interest accruals (negative amortization); loans with high loan-to-value ratios; or loans, such as option adjustable-rate mortgages, that may expose the borrower to future increases in repayments that are in excess of increases that would result solely from increases in market interest rates.  However, the Company does have interest only home equity lines of credit with outstanding balances of $11.63 million of at September 30, 2012.

The allocation of the allowance, presented in the following table, is based primarily on the factors discussed above in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance as a whole.  Since all of those factors are subject to change, the allocation is not necessarily indicative of the category of recognized loan losses, and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.

At September 30, 2012, there were $16.90 million of impaired loans with no specific reserves that consisted of five (5) construction and land development loans in the aggregate amount to $3.01 million, seventeen (17) commercial real estate loans in the aggregate amount of $9.22 million, ten (10) residential real estate loans in the aggregate amount of $1.99 million, thirteen (13) commercial and industrial loans totaling $2.67 million and one (1) consumer loan for $14 thousand.  By comparison at December 31, 2011 there were $18.86 million of impaired loans which required no specific reserves consisting of four (4) construction and land development loans in the aggregate amount to $2.51 million, fifteen (15) commercial real estate loans in the aggregate amount of $9.22 million, eight (8) residential real estate loans in the aggregate amount of $1.95 million, ten (10) commercial and industrial loans totaling $5.16 million and one (1) consumer loan for $17 thousand.  In addition at September 30, 2012, there were $3.22 million of impaired loans which required specific reserves, totaling $348 thousand, that consisted of one (1) construction and land development loan in the aggregate amount of $792 thousand, five (5) commercial real estate loans in the aggregate amount of $1.13 million, two (2) residential real estate loans aggregating $697 thousand and two (2) commercial and industrial loans in aggregate amount of $599 thousand, compared to $2.68 million of impaired loans which required specific reserves totaling $228 thousand, that consisted of four (4) construction and land development loans in the aggregate amount of $1.77 million, four (4) commercial real estate loans in the aggregate amount of $689 thousand, one (1) residential real estate loan for $191 thousand and one (1) commercial and industrial loan of $32 thousand at December 31, 2011.  All of the impaired loan relationships discussed are in different types of businesses.

 

There are no loans that had a specific allowance as of December 31, 2011 that are still in the Company’s loan portfolio as of September 30, 2012 where the specific allowance has been reduced or eliminated.

 

Loans are placed into a nonaccruing status and classified as nonperforming when the principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the obligation is well secured and in the process of collection.  A debt is “well secured” if it is secured by (i) pledges of real or personal property, including securities, that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt, (including accrued interest), in full, or (ii) the guarantee of a financially responsible party.   A debt is “in the process of collection” if collection on the debt is proceeding in due course either through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedure, or, in appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or in its restoration to a current status.

 

Loans classified as substandard or worse are considered for impairment testing.  A substandard loan shows signs of continuing negative financial trends and unprofitability and therefore, is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  The borrower on such loans typically exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: financial ratios and profitability margins are well below industry average; a negative cash flow position exists; debt service capacity is insufficient to the service debt and an improvement in the cash flow position is unlikely within the next twelve months; secondary and tertiary means of debt repayment are weak.  Loans classified as substandard are characterized by the probability that the Bank will not collect amounts due according to the contractual terms or sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Loss potential, while existing with respect to the aggregate amount of substandard (or worse) loans, does not have to exist in any individual assets classified as substandard.  Such credits are also evaluated for nonaccrual status.

 

Impaired loans include loans that have been classified as substandard or worse.  However, certain of such loans have been paying as agreed and have remained current, with some financial issues related to cash flow that has caused some concern as to the ability of the borrower to perform in accordance with the current loan terms, but it has not been extreme enough to require the loan be put into a nonaccruing status.

 

The Company does not have a formal modification program such as the Making Home Affordable Program, but instead uses a system whereby loans are modified on a case-by-case basis, based upon an analysis of the individual borrower’s situation and the causes of the weakness in the individual loan.  To date, loan modifications have primarily involved commercial real estate mortgages and commercial and industrial loans and have included reducing the interest rate on the loan to a level that is in line with current market rates for similar type loans, converting to an interest only period, usually six to twelve months, or re-amortizing the loan.  For the first nine months of 2012, the Company has not made any concessions on any residential mortgage loans.

 

Troubled debt restructured loans, which are included in the total of impaired loans, amounted to $4.73 million as of September 30, 2012.  These included loans converted to interest only periods for six to twelve months in the amount of $2.30 million, reduced interest rates on loans in the amount of $900 thousand, and loans that have been re-amortized in the amount of $1.54 million.  These loans have specific reserves of $172 thousand based on the collateral value.

 

As noted above the Company does not have a formal modification program and it does not have any loans as of September 30, 2012 that had been modified and then subsequently re-defaulted in 2012.

 

Loans classified as non-performing are nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due.  The Company has one (1) construction and land development loan in the amount of $250 thousand that is 90 days or more past due that is still in an accruing status. If a loan has been modified and it is current as to principal and interest for a period of at least six months then it is classified as a performing loan, otherwise it is considered to be a non-performing loan.

 

The Company’s charge-off policy states after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the loan is deemed to be a loss, it will be charged to the Company’s established allowance for loan losses.  Consumer loans subject to the Uniform Retail Credit Classification are charged-off as follows (a) closed end loans are charged-off no later than 120 days after becoming delinquent, (b) consumer loans to borrowers who subsequently declare bankruptcy, where the Company is an unsecured creditor, are charged-off within 60 days of receipt of the notification from the bankruptcy court, (c) fraudulent loans are charged-off within 90 days of discovery and (d) death of a borrower will cause a charge-off to be incurred at such time an actual loss is determined.  All other types of loans are generally evaluated for loss potential at the 90th day past due threshold, and any loss is recognized no later than the 120th day past due threshold; each loss is evaluated on its specific facts regarding the appropriate timing to recognize the loss.

 

The Company has recorded partial charge-offs of $383 thousand in 2012, and $563 thousand in prior years on loans that are still in the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2012 for a aggregate total of 946 thousand.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, including unused portions of lines of credit, and standby letters of credit.  The Company has also entered into long-term lease obligations for some of its premises and equipment, the terms of which generally include options to renew.  The above instruments and obligations involve, to varying degrees, elements of off-balance sheet risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.  With the exception of these instruments and the Company’s obligations relating to its trust preferred securities, the Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Capital Resources

 

The ability of the Company to grow is dependent on the availability of capital with which to meet regulatory capital requirements, discussed below.  To the extent the Company is successful it may need to acquire additional capital through the sale of additional common stock, other qualifying equity instruments, subordinated debt or other qualifying capital instruments.  There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company on a timely basis or on attractive terms.  On December 15, 2006, the Company completed the issuance of $6.00 million of trust preferred securities that can be recognized as capital for regulatory purposes.  The interest rate on the trust preferred securities and underlying subordinated debentures was a fixed rate of 6.5375% through December 15, 2011, and is adjusted quarterly to 163 basis points over three-month LIBOR.  On September 15, 2012, the most recent interest rate reset date, the interest rate was adjusted to 2.01875% for the period ending December 15, 2012.  The Company has an unsecured revolving line of credit borrowing arrangement with an unaffiliated financial institution in the amount of $4.00 million with no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.  This facility matures on July 22, 2013, has a floating interest rate equal to the Wall Street Journal prime rate, subject to a minimum rate of 3.75%, and requires monthly interest payments only.  The purpose of this facility is to provide capital to the Bank, as needed.  The Company also has an unsecured borrowing arrangement with an unaffiliated third party in the amount of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2012.  This facility matures on July 12, 2013, at a fixed rate of 2.50%, and requires quarterly interest payments only. The Company expects to have these credit facilities renewed, but there can be no assurance.

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  The Company will be subject to such requirements when its assets exceed $500 million, it has publicly issued debt or it engages in certain highly leveraged activities.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

Significant further growth of the Company may be limited because the current level of capital will not support rapid short term growth while meeting regulatory capital expectations.  Loan portfolio growth will need to be funded primarily by increases in deposits as the Company has limited amounts of on-balance sheets assets deployable into loans.  Growth will depend upon Company earnings and/or the raising of additional capital.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject as of September 30, 2012 and that the Company would meet such requirements if applicable.  See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for a table depicting compliance with regulatory capital requirements.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the most recent notification from the regulatory agency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table in Note 10.  There are no conditions or events since that notification which management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Proposed Changes in Capital Requirements.  In December 2010, the Basel Committee released its final framework for strengthening international capital and liquidity regulation (“Basel III”).  Basel III, when implemented by the U.S. banking agencies and fully phased-in, will require bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries to maintain more capital, with a greater emphasis on common equity.  Implementation is presently scheduled to be phased in between 2013 and 2019, although it is possible that implementation may be delayed as a result of multiple factors including the current condition of the banking industry within the U.S. and abroad.

 

The Basel III final capital framework, among other things, (i) introduces as a new capital measure “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specifies that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) defines CET1 narrowly by requiring that most adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and (iv) expands the scope of the adjustments as compared to existing regulations.

 

When fully phased in, Basel III requires banks to maintain (i) as a newly adopted international standard, a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5 %; (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer; (iii) a minimum ratio of Total (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0% plus the capital conservation buffer and (iv) as a newly adopted international standard, a minimum leverage ratio of 3%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to balance sheet exposures plus certain off-balance sheet exposures (computed as the average for each quarter of the month-end ratios for the quarter).

 

Basel III also provides for a “countercyclical capital buffer,” generally to be imposed when national regulators determine that excess aggregate credit growth becomes associated with a buildup of systemic risk that would be a CET1 add-on to the capital conservation buffer in the range of 0% to 2.5% when fully implemented. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress.

 

Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (or below the combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) may face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

 

The Basel III final framework provides for a number of new deductions from and adjustments to CET1.  These include, for example, the requirement that mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets dependent upon future taxable income and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one such category exceeds 10% of CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1.

 

Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 will begin on January 1, 2014 and will be phased-in over a five-year period (20% per year).  The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will begin on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% and be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019).

 

The FRB, the FDIC and the OCC issued a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in June 2012 (the “Basel III Notice”), which proposes to implement Basel III under regulations substantially consistent with the above.  One additional proposed change from current practice proposed in the Basel III Notice, included as part of the definition of CET1 capital, would require banking institutions to generally include the amount of Additional Other Comprehensive Income (which primarily consists of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities which are not required to be treated as OTTI, net of tax) in calculating regulatory capital.  The Basel III Notice also proposes a 4% minimum leverage ratio.

 

Additionally, the FRB, the FDIC and the OCC issued a second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in June 2012 (the “Standardized Approach Notice”) which would change the manner of calculating risk weighted assets.  Under this Notice, new methodologies for determining risk-weighted assets in the general capital rules are proposed, including revisions to recognition of credit risk mitigation, including a greater recognition of financial collateral and a wider range of eligible guarantors.  They also include risk weighting of equity exposures and past due loans, potential changes in the weighting of residential mortgage loans depending on the risk characteristics of the loan; and higher (greater than 100%) risk weighting for certain commercial real estate exposures that have higher credit risk profiles, including higher loan to value and equity components.

 

The components of the Basel III framework remain subject to revision or amendment, as are the rules proposed by the U.S. regulatory agencies in the Basel III Notice and Standardized Approach Notice.  Accordingly, the regulations ultimately applicable to us may be substantially different from the Basel III final framework as published in December 2010, and as proposed in the Basel III Notice and Standardized Approach Notice.  Requirements to maintain higher levels of capital or to maintain higher levels of liquid assets, and changes in the manner of calculating risk weighted assets, could adversely impact our net income and return on equity.

 

On June 25, 2012, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of its common stock, for an aggregate expenditure of not more than $5.0 million, through September 30, 2017, or earlier termination of the program by the Board of Directors.  Repurchases, if any, by the Company pursuant to this authorization are expected to enable the Company to repurchase its shares at an attractive price, and to provide a source of liquidity for the Company’s shares.  As of September 30, 2012, there have been no shares repurchased by the Company.  The Company’s prior repurchase program expired as of June 30, 2012 and had authorized the repurchase of up to 146,000 shares of its common stock, for an aggregate expenditure of not more than $4.5 million.  As of September 30, 2012 under the prior repurchase plan the Company had repurchased 27,986 shares totaling $342 thousand at an average price of $12.22.  No shares were repurchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Inflation

 

The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different than on non-banking companies since virtually all of a Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. In particular, interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, but neither the timing nor magnitude of the changes are directly related to price level indices; therefore, the Company can best counter inflation over the long term by managing net interest income and controlling net increases in noninterest income and expenses.

See “Market Risk, Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity” at Page 28.

 

Item 4.           Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the last day of the period covered by this report, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Act of 1934) during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II — Other Information

 

Item 1.           Legal Proceedings.  From time to time the Company is a participant in various legal proceedings incidental to its business.  In the opinion of management, the liabilities (if any) resulting from such legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.
