Manhattan Bancorp and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Manhattan Bancorp (the “Bancorp”) is a bank holding company organized under the laws of the state of California. Its principal subsidiary, Bank of Manhattan, N.A. (the “Bank”), is a national banking association headquartered in the South Bay area of Southern California that offers relationship banking services and residential mortgages to entrepreneurs, family-owned and closely-held middle market businesses, real estate investors and professional service firms. Deposits with the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to the applicable limits of the law. The Bank is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MBFS Holdings, Inc. (“MBFS”), Manhattan Bancorp also indirectly owned until November 7, 2012 a 70% interest in Manhattan Capital Markets LLC (“MCM”), which, either directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, generates revenues primarily from trading income, facilitating trades in whole loans between institutional clients, and advisory services regarding the evaluation and packaging of bond portfolios of other institutions.  As discussed in more detail in Note 16, the Bancorp sold its entire interest in MBFS, including its indirect interest in MCM, on November 7, 2012.

 

On May 31, 2012, the Bancorp completed its acquisition of Professional Business Bank (“PBB”) through a merger of PBB with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving institution (the “Merger”).  Immediately prior to the Merger, PBB completed a transaction in which its holding company, CGB Holdings, Inc. (“CGB Holdings”), was merged into PBB and accounted for using the historical balances as entities under common control.

 

In the Merger, Bancorp issued an aggregate of 8,195,469 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of PBB, representing a ratio of 1.7991 shares of Bancorp common stock for each share of PBB common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger.  The Bancorp shares issued to the PBB shareholders in the Merger constituted approximately 67.2% of the Bancorp’s common stock after giving effect to the Merger.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) require that a company whose security holders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby PBB was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.  Prior to the Merger the statements of operations and the balance sheet reflect that of PBB.  The assets and liabilities of Manhattan Bancorp were reported at fair value in a transaction that constituted a business combination subject to the acquisition method of accounting as detailed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations.  See Note 2 for additional information on the Merger.

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank and MBFS Holdings, collectively referred to as the “Company.” All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented have been included. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4/A dated April 30, 2012. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Certain amounts in prior presentations have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported shareholders’ equity, net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share amounts.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Other significant estimates which may be subject to change include fair value determinations and disclosures, impaired investments and loans (including troubled debt restructurings), intangibles and goodwill related to the Merger, gains from mortgage banking activities, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The following accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company were recently issued or became effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

 

In May of 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The primary purpose of ASU 2011-04 is to improve the comparability of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU 2011-04 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. Certain amendments clarify the intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 apply to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity in the financial statements. ASU 2011-04 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and required additional fair value disclosures but did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

In June of 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option of presenting changes in other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. All non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity must be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The revisions to the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and are reflected herein.

 

In December of 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires that entities disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This scope would include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements prepared under IFRSs. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required for all comparative periods. Adoption of ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position.

 

In December of 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 to defer only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.  The amendments were made to allow the FASB time to re-deliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. Entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-5. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements.

 

In July of 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. It allows companies to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position.

Investment Securities

 

Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts.

 

Investments not classified as held-to-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. Under the available-for-sale classification, securities can be sold in response to a variety of situations, including but not limited to changes in interest rates, fluctuations in deposit levels or loan demand, liquidity requirements, or the need to restructure the portfolio to better match the maturity or interest rate characteristics of liabilities with assets. Securities classified as available-for-sale are accounted for at their current fair value rather than amortized historical cost. Unrealized gains or losses are excluded from net income (loss) and reported as an amount net of taxes as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in stockholders’ equity. Premiums or discounts on held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are amortized or accreted into income using the interest method.

 

At each reporting date, investment securities are assessed to determine whether there is any other-than-temporary impairment. The classification of other-than-temporary impairment depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, and on the nature of the impairment. If the Company intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell a security prior to recovery of its cost basis, it would be required to record an other than temporary loss in an amount equal to the entire difference between the fair value and amortized cost. If a security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired but the Company does not intend to sell the security, only the credit component of impairment is recognized in earnings and the impairment associated with non-credit factors, such as market liquidity, is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The cost basis of any other-than-temporarily impaired security is written down by the amount of any impairment adjustment recognized in earnings.

 

Originated loans

 

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by any charge-offs, net of deferred loan fees or costs, unearned discounts, and net of allowance for loan losses or specific valuation accounts. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan. Interest on loans is accrued daily and recognized over the terms of the loans and is calculated using the simple-interest method based on principal amounts outstanding.

 

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Generally, the accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when principal or interest is past due 90 days based on the contractual terms of the loan or when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to collectability. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on nonaccrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loan’s principal balance is deemed collectable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought current with respect to interest and principal for a period of at least nine months and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to all principal and interest.

 

The Company’s loan portfolio consists primarily of the following loan types:

 

·                  Commercial and industrial loans: Commercial and industrial loans are loans for commercial, corporate and business purposes, including issuing letters of credit. The Company’s commercial business loan portfolio is comprised of loans for a variety of purposes and generally is secured by equipment, machinery and other business assets. Commercial business loans generally have terms of five years or less and interest rates that float in accordance with a designated published index. Substantially all of such loans are secured and backed by the personal guarantees of the owners of the business.

 

·                  Commercial real estate loans: Commercial real estate loans are primarily secured by apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, warehouses, small retail shopping centers and various special purpose properties, including hotels, restaurants and nursing homes. Although terms vary, commercial real estate loans generally have amortizations of 15 to 25 years, as well as balloon payments of two to five years, and terms which provide that the interest rates thereon may be adjusted annually at the Company’s discretion, based on a designated index.

 

·                  Residential multifamily real estate: Residential multifamily loans generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than residential real estate loans due to the reliance on the successful operation of the project. This loan type is particularly sensitive to adverse economic conditions.

 

10



Table of Contents

 

·                  Residential real estate loans: Residential real estate loans are generally smaller in size and are homogenous because they exhibit similar characteristics.

 

·                  Real estate construction: Construction loans consist of vacant land and property that is in the process of improvement. Repayment of these loans can be dependent on the sale of the property to third parties or the successful completion of the improvements by the builder for the end user. In the event a loan is made on property that is not yet improved for the planned development, there is the risk that approvals will not be granted or will be delayed. Construction loans also run the risk that improvements will not be completed on time or in accordance with specifications and projected costs. Construction real estate loans generally have terms of one year to 18 months during the construction period and interest rates based on a designated index.

 

·                  Home equity lines of credit: Home equity lines are secured by a 1st or 2nd Trust Deed on a single family residence. The risk involved in home equity lines of credit is dependent on the value of the underlying collateral and the existence of other liens on the property.

 

·                  Other: Other loans consist of consumer loans that generally have higher interest rates than mortgage loans. The risk involved in consumer loans is the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. Other loans consist of education loans, vehicle loans and other secured and unsecured loans that have been made for a variety of consumer purposes.

 

Acquired Loans

 

Acquired loans are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition and include both nonperforming loans with evidence of credit deterioration since their origination date and performing loans with no such credit deterioration. The Company is accounting for a significant majority of the loans, including loans with evidence of credit deterioration acquired in the Merger in accordance with ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, formerly known as Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-3. In accordance with ASC 310-30, the Company has pooled performing loans at the date of purchase. The loans were aggregated into pools based on the common risk characteristics.

 

The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition and the investment in the loan, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “nonaccretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment. If the Company does not have the information necessary to reasonably estimate cash flows to be expected, it may use the cost recovery method or cash basis method of income recognition. Valuation allowances on these impaired loans reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at acquisition that ultimately are not to be received).

 

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the initial fair value of acquired loans is referred to as accretable yield and is accreted into interest income over the estimated life of the acquired loans using the effective yield method. The accretable yield will change due to:

 

·                  Estimate of the remaining life of acquired loans which may change the amount of future interest income

 

·                  Estimate of the amount of contractually required principal and interest payments over the estimated life that will not be collected (the nonaccretable difference)

 

·                  Indices for acquired loans with variable rates of interest

 

·                  Improvement in the amount of expected cash flows

 

Acquired loans not accounted for under ASC 310-30 are subject to the provisions of ASC 310-20.  The cash flows associated with these loans determine the amount of the purchase discount that is to be accreted over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.  Management periodically reassesses the net realizable value and in the event that credit losses inherent in the

 

11



Table of Contents

 

portfolio are higher than expectations, records an allowance for loan losses to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the amounts expected to be collected.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses embedded in the Company’s existing loan portfolios as of the measurement date. In order to determine the adequacy of our loan loss allowance to absorb future losses, management performs periodic credit reviews of the loan portfolio. In so doing, management considers current economic conditions, historical credit loss experiences and other factors. Although management uses the best information available to make these estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic, operating, and regulatory conditions, most of which are beyond the Company’s control. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

 

When establishing the allowance for loan losses, management categorizes loans into risk categories generally based on the nature of the collateral and the basis of repayment. These risk categories are pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss.  The relevant risk characteristics of these risk categories are more fully described in Note 4.  Loss estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in the results of operations in the periods in which they become known. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses which, in turn, are charged to expense. The balance of a loan deemed uncollectible is charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

Commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable. The credit risk associated with these commitments, when indistinguishable from the underlying funded loan, is considered in our determination of the allowance for loan losses. Other liabilities in the balance sheet include the portion of the allowance which was distinguishable and related to undrawn commitments to extend credit.

 

The allowance consists of specific and general components, also referred to as individually evaluated and collectively evaluated, respectively, for impairment in the accompanying disclosures. The specific component relates to individual loans that are classified as impaired on a case-by-case basis. The general component of the Company’s allowance for loan losses, which covers potential losses for all non-impaired loans, typically is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company with consideration also given to peer bank loss experience. This historic loss experience is supplemented with the consideration of how current factors might impact each portfolio segment. These factors and trends include the current levels of: delinquencies and impaired loans; charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards; changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit and geographic concentrations.

 

In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and such agencies may require the Company to recognize additional provisions to the allowance based upon judgments that differ from those of management.

 

Impaired Loans

 

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), which are described in more detail below, also are classified as impaired.

 

Commercial and commercial real estate loans classified as substandard or doubtful are individually evaluated for impairment. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans may be collectively evaluated for impairment. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. 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 case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Table of Contents

 

If a loan is classified impaired, a specific reserve is recorded for the loan equal to the difference between the loan’s carrying value and the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. TDRs are identified separately for impairment disclosures, as described in more detail below.

 

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

A TDR is a loan for which the Company grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider due to a borrower’s financial difficulties. A loan’s terms which may be modified or restructured due to a borrower’s financial difficulty include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the loan’s stated interest rate below the market rate for a borrower with similar credit characteristics, an extension of the loan’s maturity, and/or a reduction in the face amount of the debt. The amount of a debt reduction, if any, is charged off at the time of restructuring. For other concessions, a specific reserve typically is recorded for the difference between the loan’s book value and the present value of the TDR’s expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. This specific reserve is accreted into interest income over the expected remaining life of the TDR using the interest method. TDRs typically are placed on non-accrual status until a sustained period of repayment performance, usually nine months or longer. However, the borrower’s performance prior to the restructuring, or other significant events at the time of restructuring, may be considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status after a shorter performance period. If the borrower’s performance under the new terms is not reasonably assured, the loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan.  Subsequent to being restructured, a TDR may be classified “substandard” or “doubtful” based on the borrower’s repayment performance as well as any other changes in the borrower’s creditworthiness. Loans that were paid current at the time of modification may be upgraded in their classification after a sustained period of repayment performance. TDRs are identified separately for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate at the time of restructuring. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For any TDRs that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

 

Gains from Mortgage Banking Activities

 

Mortgage banking activity income is recognized when the Company records a derivative asset upon committing to originate a loan with a borrower at a specified interest rate, recording the funded loan at fair value, and subsequently selling the loan to an investor. This derivative asset is recognized at fair value, which reflects the fair value of the commitment after considering contractual loan origination-related fees, estimated sale premiums, direct loan origination costs, the estimated fair value of the expected net future cash flows associated with servicing of loans, and the probability of funding the loan. Also included in gains from mortgage banking activities are changes to the fair value of loan commitments, forward sale commitments, and loans held for sale that occur during their respective holding periods. Substantially all the gains or losses are recognized during the loan holding period as such loans are recorded at fair value. Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as assets based on their fair value upon the sale of loans when the servicing is retained by the Company.

 

The Company records an estimated liability for obligations associated with loans sold which it may be required to repurchase due to breaches of representations and warranties, early payment defaults or to indemnify an investor for loss incurred which the investor attributes to underwriting or other issues for which the Company is responsible. The Company periodically evaluates the estimates used in calculating these expected losses and adjustments are reported in earnings. As uncertainty is inherent in these estimates, actual amounts paid or charged off could differ from the amount recorded. The provision for repurchases is recorded in other non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

The Company measures its mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) at fair value. This election was made to facilitate the potential future implementation of a risk mitigation strategy to hedge against potential adverse changes in the fair value of its MSRs which may arise from future changes in interest rates and other market factors. The Company has not implemented hedging strategies for its MSRs at this time.

 

The fair value of MSRs is estimated by using a cash flow valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, servicing costs, ancillary income, and other economic factors based on current market conditions.

 

Assumptions incorporated into the MSRs valuation model reflect management’s best estimate of factors that a market participant would use in valuing the MSRs. Although sales of MSRs do occur, MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices so the precise terms and conditions of sales are not available. The Company considers its MSR values to represent a reasonable estimate of their fair value.

Goodwill

 

Net assets of entities acquired in purchase transactions are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The historical cost basis of individual assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect their fair value. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value is recorded as goodwill.  Goodwill is not amortized for book purposes, although it is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis, or if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The impairment test is performed in two phases. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company must proceed with step two.  In step two the implied fair value of goodwill, defined as the excess of fair value of the reporting unit over the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as they would be determined in an acquisition, is estimated.  If the carrying amount of the goodwill is more than its implied fair value, it is impaired and an impairment charge must be recognized. The test for potential impairment of goodwill must be conducted at least annually, which the Company will conduct such test as of September 30 of each year beginning in the year following the recording of goodwill.

 

Core Deposit Intangible

 

The Company has a premium on acquired deposits which represents the intangible value of deposit relationships resulting from deposit liabilities assumed in the Merger.  Core deposit intangible assets are amortized over five to seven years.  The Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of its core deposit intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.  If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life.  The balance of core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is $2.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.  Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 totaled $310 thousand and $396 thousand, respectively.  Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 totaled $135 thousand and $78 thousand, respectively. Amortization of core deposit intangibles, totaling approximately $540 thousand per year, is expected to continue until fully amortized in 2017.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to income tax carry forwards as well as temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting purposes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted accordingly through the provision for income taxes.

 

The Company is required to establish a valuation reserve to cover the potential loss of these benefits, primarily due to its net loss since inception. Therefore, a valuation allowance was recorded for the entire amount of the Company’s deferred tax asset at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

The Company has adopted the most current accounting guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return and provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded as part of income tax expense. Management believes that all tax positions taken to date are highly certain and, accordingly, no accounting adjustment has been made to the financial statements.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

Note 2.  BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On May 31, 2012, the Bancorp completed its acquisition of PBB through a merger of PBB with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving institution.  Immediately prior to the Merger, PBB completed a transaction in which its holding company, CGB Holdings, was merged into PBB and accounted for using the historical balances as entities under common control.  In the Merger, the Bancorp issued an aggregate of 8,195,469 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of PBB, representing a ratio of 1.7991 shares of Bancorp common stock for each share of PBB common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger.  The Bancorp shares issued to the PBB shareholders in the Merger constituted approximately 67.2% of the Bancorp’s outstanding common stock after giving effect to the Merger.

 

U.S. GAAP requires that a company whose security holders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby PBB was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the net assets and liabilities of PBB were carried forward in the Merger at the historical cost basis; whereas the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the Company were reported at fair value.

 

To determine the fair values at the date of the Merger, the Company engaged third party valuation specialists to assist in the process of valuing the loan portfolio, time deposits, real estate property and the Bancorp’s common stock.  Mortgage servicing assets, derivative instruments, loans held for sale, debt and lease arrangements were valued through internal models, all of which utilize a methodology based on discounted cash flows.  Personal property and equipment were valued at their depreciated balances, and the receivable from broker was valued at par as it represents the cash settlement of loans sold.  Goodwill of $7.4 million was recorded, which is equal to the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in connection with the Merger.

 

Prior to the Merger the statement of operations reflect only the operations of PBB.  Following the Merger, the statements of operations reflect the operations of both PBB and the Company.  The number of shares issued and outstanding, additional paid-in capital and all references to share quantities of the Company in these notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued by the Company in the Merger, while PBB’s historical equity is being carried forward.  Acquisition costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled approximately $1.2 million attributable to the Merger and have been included in professional fees in the statements of operations in 2012.  Additionally, the Company incurred severance costs related to the Merger that totaled $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Included in the table above are loans with fair values totaling approximately $36.8 million which were not subjected to the requirements of ASC 310-30 but have instead been accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-20.  At the date of the Merger, the gross contractual amounts receivable for these loans totaled approximately $41.0 million with an estimated $40.0 million expected to be collected.

 

The fair value of the non-controlling interest in MCM was determined to be zero at the Merger date, based on the Company’s evaluation and conclusion thereon as to the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities of MCM .

 

Goodwill recorded in the Merger resulted from the expected synergies of the combined operations of the newly merged entities as well as intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition such as the acquired workforce. There is no tax deductible goodwill in the transaction.

An increase in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities of $123 thousand is included in accumulated other comprehensive income for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, while a decrease in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities of $373 thousand is included in accumulated other comprehensive income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.  During the nine months ended September 30 2012, the Company sold $4.5 million in securities at a gain of $529 thousand.  There were no sales during 2011.

 

Securities with a fair value of $6.2 million and $7.2 million as determined by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the FHLB. At September 30, 2012, two private label mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) acquired in the Merger totaling $1.2 million were issued by one issuer.  At September 30, 2012, the Company’s private label MBS, comprised of five securities totaling $1.4 million, had a net unrealized gain of $46 thousand. Of these, two securities totaling $1.2 million were rated below investment grade and had an unrealized gain of $45 thousand.

 

In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers among other things (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Any intra-period decline in the market value of the Company’s investment securities during 2012 or 2011 was attributable to changes in market rates of interest rather than credit quality. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, management believes that the gross unrealized losses are temporary and no impairment loss should be realized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.  There were no securities in a continual loss position at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

The amortized cost, estimated fair value, and yield of debt securities at September 30, 2012 are shown in the table below. The weighted average yields are based on the estimated effective yields at period end. The estimated effective yields are computed based on interest income at the coupon interest rate, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay obligations.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, loans with outstanding principal balances of $183.5 million and $57.5 million, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the FHLB.

 

In connection with the Merger, acquired performing loans at May 31, 2012 include $36.8 million of loans at fair value that are accounted for under ASC 310-20. On the date of the Merger, these loans had an outstanding balance of $38.3 million and a related discount of $1.5 million.

(1) Additions included for the three months ending September 30,2012 reflect increases associated with updated cash flow estimates prepared based on current loan terms.  The cash flow estimate updates were necessary to reflect changed terms in the loan portfolio (renewals, refinances, etc.) in order to properly assess current accretable and nonaccretable differences.  These updates to estimated cash flows did not result in any significant change to the estimated fair value of acquired loans as of the acquisition date as presented on the previous page.  Accordingly, the offsetting entry to these additions was to estimated contractual payments receivable and goodwill was not adjusted.

 

(2) Additions included above reflect increases to accretable and nonaccretable yield associated with loans acquired in the business combination described in Note 2 plus additions described in (1) above.

 

(3) On December 31, 2010 the Company sold $13.5 million in loans at fair value (its historical basis post-merger) and $1.5 million in other real estate owned at fair value to its wholly owned subsidiary CGB Asset Management, Inc.  On March 30, 2011, the ownership of CGB Asset Management, Inc. was transferred from CGB Holdings, Inc. to Carpenter Community BancFunds through an exchange of common stock.  The transfer was accounted for at historical cost because the companies were under common control.

Risk Categories

 

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt. These factors include, but are not limited to current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

 

Pass:  Loans with satisfactory risk are classified as “pass.” Loans considered to be satisfactory risk are divided into six additional categories, based primarily on the borrower’s financial strength and ability to service the debt and the amount of supervision required by the loan officer. All new extensions of credit should qualify for one of the six “pass” grades.

 

Special Mention:  Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, this potential weakness 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 at least one well-defined weakness that could jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. There is a distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

20



Table of Contents

 

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.

 

Loss:  Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is impractical to defer writing off this virtually worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Losses should be taken in the period in which they are deemed to be uncollectible.

 

Based on management’s most recent analysis, the risk category of loans by type of loan as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 follows:

Impaired Loans

 

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. TDRs, which are described in Note 1, also are classified as impaired.  The table below reflects the Company’s impaired loans as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

As depicted in the tables above, there was no principal forgiven on TDRs in 2012 or 2011. In addition, there were no TDR re-defaults that occurred in 2012 or 2011, and there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose terms have been modified in TDRs as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses embedded in the Company’s existing loan portfolios as of the measurement date. In order to determine the adequacy of the Company’s loan loss allowance to absorb future losses, management performs periodic credit reviews of the loan portfolio. In so doing, management considers current economic conditions, historical credit loss experiences and other factors. Although management uses the best information available to make these estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic, operating, and regulatory conditions, most of which are beyond the Company’s control. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

Table of Contents

 

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt. (See “Risk Categories” in this same Note for a description of the various risk categories.) The Company employs a 10-point loan grading system in an effort to more accurately track the inherent quality of the loan portfolio. The 10-point system assigns a value of “1” or “2” to loans that are substantially risk free. Modest, average, and acceptable risk loans are assigned point values of “3”, “4”, and “5”, respectively. Loans on the pass watch list are assigned a point value of “6.” Point values of “7,” “8,” “9,” and “10” are assigned, respectively, to loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Using these risk factors, management conducts an analysis of the general reserves applying quantitative factors based upon different risk scenarios. In addition, management considers other trends that are qualitative relative to the Company’s marketplace, current demographic factors, the risk rating of the loan portfolios as discussed above, amounts in non-performing assets, and concentration factors. The following table reflects the activity in the allowance for loan losses during the periods presented:

Note 5. LOANS HELD FOR SALE

 

Prior to the Merger, PBB did not engage in loan sale activity.  The following table summarizes loans held for sale following the Merger:

$

Loans originated by the Company which are held for sale at fair value are typically sold within 30 days. Positive fair value adjustments of $1.0 million and $567 thousand were recorded on loans held for sale during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Purchased loans that are hedged are carried at fair value for purposes of managing interest rate risk. To this end, the Bank had forward sale contracts to sell all of its purchased loans carried at fair value as of September 30, 2012 to BOM Capital, LLC (“BOMC”), an institutional mortgage broker-dealer and wholly-owned subsidiary of MCM, which had forward sale contracts to sell these loans to external counterparties.

 

Consistent with industry practice, the Company has established a contingent liability account for fraud, early payoffs and early payment defaults that may arise from mortgage loans sold to investors. At September 30, 2012 this contingency reserve totaled $301 thousand. Since the Company’s inception, it has incurred no losses due to early payoffs, early payment defaults, or fraud related to loans sold to investors.

 

There were no delinquent loans held for sale at September 30, 2012.  There were no loans held for sale at December 31, 2011.

 

Note 6.           MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

 

Mortgage servicing rights are fair valued on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) as further described in Note 10.  Prior to the Merger, the Company’s operations did not include MSRs. The following table summarizes the Company’s MSR activity:

Table of Contents

 

The book value of the Company’s MSRs reflects their fair value and not their market value, which may be higher or lower given current market conditions and could change favorably or unfavorably in the future.

 

The following table reflects the sensitivity test performed by the Company to evaluate the estimated impact of potential changes in economic factors on the fair value of its MSRs. The Company has identified two key criteria to test: 1) changes in the discount rate due to potential changes in market yield assumptions, and 2) changes in prepayment speeds as a result of potential changes in interest rates. Test results related to prepayment speeds were predicated on one-percent movements in U.S. Treasury 10-year yields which, in turn, were assumed to result in a 0.50% change in interest rates for new loans. The prepayment incentive or disincentive arising from a plus or minus 0.50% change in rates for new loans was the key factor in deriving projected prepayment speeds for the remaining life of the underlying loans.

The results of this test are estimates based on hypothetical scenarios, whereby each criterion is modeled in isolation.  In reality, changes in one factor might result in changes in several other factors, some of which may not have been included in this analysis.

Note 8.                                 FHLB ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS

 

At September 30, 2012, the Bank has a $101.6 million borrowing capacity with the FHLB, which is collateralized by loans with principal balances of $183.5 million and securities with a fair value of $6.2 million as determined by the FHLB. The carrying amount of advances outstanding at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $24.6 million and $0, respectively. Balances at September 30, 2012 consist of open advances totaling $20.0 million and a term advance of $4.6 million maturing on June 27, 2013, with interest payable semi-annually at a contractual rate of 4.38%.

 

The Bank has a $1.1 million mortgage on a branch location at September 30, 2012 with interest-only payments at a contractual rate of 5%, due in full on April 5, 2021.  The mortgage is carried at $1.3 million reflecting the purchase accounting at the time of the Merger.

 

At September 30, 2012, the Bank maintains lines of credit totaling $17 million with correspondent banks for obtaining overnight funds. The lines are subject to availability and have restrictions as to the number of days funds can be used each month.

 

Related Party Credit Facility

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company acquired debt with an approximate fair value of $5 million which remained outstanding at September 30, 2012.  The discussion that follows includes details related to the borrowing arrangement prior to the acquisition and assumed by the Company in the Merger.  As discussed in more detail in Note 16, the principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest under this borrowing arrangement was repaid in full on November 5, 2012.

 

Bancorp entered into a Credit Agreement dated July 25, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”) with Carpenter Fund Management Company, LLC, as administrative agent (“Agent”), and Carpenter Community Bancfund, L.P. and Carpenter Community Bancfund-A, L.P., as lenders (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provided for (i) an initial loan to Bancorp in the amount of $5 million (the “Initial Loan”), and (ii) a subsequent loan to Bancorp in the amount of $2 million (the “Optional Loan”) to be made at the sole and exclusive option of the Lenders at the written request of Bancorp given not later than November 30, 2011. Bancorp received the proceeds from the Initial Loan on July 26, 2011, and used the proceeds to make a $5 million loan to MCM. The Optional Loan was not requested.

 

As of July 25, 2011, Carpenter Fund Manager GP, LLC, which is the general partner of Carpenter Community Bancfund, L.P. and Carpenter Community Bancfund-A, L.P., beneficially owned 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 37.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Carpenter Fund Manager, GP, LLC has the right to appoint one representative to the Company’s Board of Directors for so long as it beneficially owns at least 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

 

The obligations of Bancorp under the Credit Agreement were initially secured by a first priority pledge of all of the equity interests of the Bank. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and initially had a final maturity date of June 30, 2012. Bancorp is permitted to make voluntary prepayments at any time without payment of a premium, and is required to make mandatory prepayments (without payment of a premium) with (i) net cash proceeds from certain issuances of capital stock, (ii) net cash proceeds from certain issuances of debt, and (iii) net cash proceeds from certain asset sales.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Bancorp and its subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on liens, indebtedness, investments, acquisitions, dispositions, affiliate transactions, leases, fundamental changes, and dividends and other distributions. In addition, Bancorp was initially required to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth of $18 million plus the net cash proceeds of any issuance of capital stock by Bancorp after July 25, 2011, and a total tier one leverage capital ratio of 10.0%. The Bank was initially required to maintain total risk based capital and tier one leverage capital ratios of not less than 12.0% and 10.0%, respectively.

 

The Credit Agreement also provides that Bancorp may not issue or sell any shares of its common stock, or other securities representing the right to acquire shares of common stock, representing more than 4.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bancorp, or any shares of preferred stock other than pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund. In addition, if Bancorp offers for sale any shares of its common stock or other securities in a public offering or private placement, the Agent or its designees or affiliates are entitled to purchase any such securities that are not subscribed for and purchased by other investors at the same price and on such other financial terms as such securities are offered and sold to other investors.

The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; incorrectness of representations and warranties; bankruptcy or similar proceedings; ERISA events; and change of control.

 

On November 21, 2011, in connection with its entry into the Merger Agreement providing for the acquisition of PBB, the Bancorp entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the Agent and the Lenders. The First Amendment provides for the following changes to the Credit Agreement, which took effect upon execution of the First Amendment: (i) an omnibus amendment to allow the Bancorp and its subsidiaries to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger; and (ii) the reduction of the consolidated net worth requirement of the Company from $18 million to $16 million.

 

The First Amendment also provides for the following changes to the Credit Agreement, which took effect upon the closing of the Merger: (i) the elimination of the first priority pledge of all equity interests of the Bank in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, which had previously been made by the Bancorp pursuant to the Credit Agreement and that certain Stock Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of July 25, 2011; (ii) the elimination of a right previously given to the Agent, its designees or affiliates to purchase any securities not otherwise subscribed for or purchased by other investors in a public offering or private placement of shares of the Bancorp’s common stock or other securities; (iii) the modification of a prohibition against the acquisition or lease exceeding $200,000 in any fiscal year of real property by the Bancorp or any subsidiary of the Bancorp to enable the Bancorp to acquire real property and assume real property leases in connection with the Merger; and (iv) the elimination of a restriction placed upon the Bancorp’s issuance or sale of any shares of the Bancorp’s common stock, or other securities representing the right to acquire shares of the Bancorp’s common stock, representing more than 4.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Bancorp, or any shares of preferred stock other than pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund.

 

On January 18, 2012, the Bancorp entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with the Agent and the Lenders. The Second Amendment provides for the following changes to the Credit Agreement, which took effect upon the closing of the Merger: (1) an extension of the maturity date of the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement from June 30, 2012 to September 15, 2012; (2) a reduction in the total tier one leverage capital ratio that must be maintained by the Company from 10% to 7%; (3) a reduction in the total risk based capital and tier one leverage capital ratios that must be maintained by the Bank from 12% and 10% to 10% and 7%, respectively; and (4) the addition of a provision that will allow either the Bancorp or the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), at its option, to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (not to exceed $4,000,000, in the aggregate) into shares of common stock of the Bancorp, with the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion to be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the principal amount to be so converted by (b) the Book Value Per Share of Manhattan Common Stock (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement). This conversion option initially could be exercised prior to September 15, 2012 and at any time commencing on or after the earlier of (i) 10 business days after the closing of the rights offering to be conducted by the Bancorp pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement after the closing of the Merger; or (ii) September 1, 2012.  The conversion option is considered to be a derivative subject to fair value measurement.  The fair value of the option is de minimus at September 30, 2012.

 

On September 15, 2012, the Bancorp entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with the Agent and the Lenders.  The Third Amendment provides for an extension of the maturity date of the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement from September 15, 2012 to December 31, 2012, and a corresponding delay in the right of the Bancorp and the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (not to exceed $4,000,000, in the aggregate) into shares of common stock of the Bancorp.  This conversion option may now be exercised prior to December 31, 2012 and at any time commencing on or after (i) 10 business days after the closing of the rights offering to be conducted by the Bancorp pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and (ii) December 15, 2012.

Note 9.                                 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the previously issued share-based awards of both PBB and the Bancorp remained outstanding after completion of the Merger.  The fair value of the Bancorp awards was evaluated and included in the business combination’s purchase price consideration for vested instruments.  The fair value of the unvested portion has been and will continue to be expensed in the post-acquisition statements of operations of the Company.   For PBB, the stock options and restricted shares were adjusted to reflect the share-exchange ratio and exercise price as required by the terms of the Merger Agreement.   This modification of the PBB awards resulted in no additional compensation expense.  As such, the compensation expense for these awards will continue using the amounts computed prior to the Merger. Awards included in the table below vest through 2014.  A summary of the outstanding share-based awards as of September 30, 2012 is as follows:

Note 10.                          FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Current accounting literature defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The literature describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

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 following is a summary description of the valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:

 

·                  Fair values for available-for-sale securities, including our private label MBS, are provided by third-party broker/dealers who obtain these values through a nationally recognized pricing service, Interactive Data Corporation’s 360 View (“IDC”). IDC utilizes real time market price discovery along with actual security performance including cash flow structure to determine market values. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the securities industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the relationship of securities to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). Based on the September 30, 2012 valuation analysis, we believe the Company will receive all principal and interest due to each security.

 

·                  The Bank records its loans held for sale at fair value for all loans originated by the Bank as well as all loans which were both purchased and hedged. The fair value of loans originated by the Bank which are held for sale to private investors is based on the price of a forward sale contract for delivery of similar loans within 15 days of period end. The fair value of loans originated by the Bank which are held for sale to government-sponsored entities is based on the delivery price for the loans into mortgaged backed to-be-announced securities (“TBAs”) plus the estimated value of the associated MSR, the value of which is derived in a manner consistent with the MSR methodology described below.  The fair value of purchased loans that are both held for sale and hedged is derived by adjusting each loan’s purchase price for the estimated change in value arising from changes in interest rates subsequent to each loan’s purchase date.

 

·                  The fair value of rate lock commitments is based on the estimated future cash flows associated with each loan being locked as of period end. These future cash flows primarily consist of the anticipated price for each loan that will be paid by investors, net of each loan’s par balance, plus any anticipated loan fees that will be paid by borrowers less any loan

 

34



Table of Contents

 

origination expenses that will be incurred by the Bank. The net amount of these cash flows is adjusted for the estimated probability of that each loan will be funded successfully (i.e., “pull through rate”).

 

·                  The fair value of forward contracts (TBAs) is based on quoted prices for identical instruments as derived from Bloomberg as of the measurement date. The values of TBAs arising from BOMC’s riskless trading activity are recorded on a net basis as either a derivative asset or derivative liability.

 

·                  The fair value of forward sale agreements is based on the change in the price investors would pay for loans as of the date each forward sale agreement is executed compared with the estimated price investors would pay for identical loans as of period end. The Bank records its “best efforts” forward sale agreements at fair value for all forward sale agreements that were not deemed to be derivatives but qualified for fair value accounting. The value of “best efforts” forward sale agreements is adjusted for anticipated pull through rates.

 

·                  Although the sales of MSRs do occur, MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily available observable prices; therefore, the precise terms and conditions of sales are not available. The fair value of MSRs related to the portfolio of loans being serviced for others is determined by computing the present value of the expected net servicing income from the servicing portfolio.  Key assumptions incorporated into the MSR valuation model and the MSR sensitivity analysis can be found in Note 6. The book value of our MSRs reflects their fair value, not their market value. Given current market conditions, we likely would realize a material loss if we were to sell our servicing portfolio in the current market. Market conditions could change favorably or unfavorably in the future.

 

·                  The fair value of impaired loans is based on an evaluation at the time the loan is originally identified as impaired, and periodically thereafter, at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value on impaired loans is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans, if the loan is collateral dependent, or based on the discounted cash flows for non-collateral dependent loans, and are classified at a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For impaired loans, the discount rate applied to expected future cash flows is each loan’s original effective rate. Collateral on collateral dependent loans may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable and is determined based on appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. These loans fall within the level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 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. Such discounts are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. For unsecured loans, the estimated future discounted cash flows of the business or borrower, are used in evaluating the fair value. 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.

 

·                  The fair value of other real estate owned represents the fair value of properties as established by recently conducted appraisal of the property (Level 3).

 

The activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in assets classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy consisted of:

The following are summary descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value:

 

·                  The carrying amounts for cash, due from banks, and federal funds sold approximate their fair values due to the overnight maturity nature of these assets.

 

36



Table of Contents

 

·                  The carrying amounts for time deposits at financial institutions approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these assets which have an average maturity of four months.

 

·                  Fair values for available-for-sale securities are provided by third-party broker/dealers who obtain these values through IDC. IDC utilizes real time market price discovery along with actual security performance including cash flow structure to determine market values. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the securities industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the relationship of securities to other benchmark quoted securities (level 2 inputs). Based on the September 30, 2012 valuation analysis, we believe the Company will receive all principal and interest due to each security.

 

·                  The Bank records its loans held for sale at fair value for all loans originated by the Bank as well as all loans which were both purchased and hedged. The fair value of loans originated by the Bank which are held for sale to private investors is based on the price of a forward sale contract for delivery of similar loans within 15 days of period end. The fair value of loans originated by the Bank which are held for sale to government-sponsored entities is based on the delivery price for the loans into TBAs plus the estimated value of the associated MSR, the value of which is derived in a manner consistent with the MSR methodology described below.  The fair value of purchased loans that are both held for sale and hedged is derived by adjusting each loan’s purchase price for the estimated change in value arising from changes in interest rates subsequent to each loan’s purchase date. The carrying values of loans held for sale and reported at the lower of cost or fair value approximate their fair values, primarily due to the variable nature of their interest rates and/or the short amount of time these loans typically remain on the Bank’s balance sheet (i.e., less than 30 days).

 

·                  The fair value of loans held for investment is based on the hypothetical exit price which does not represent the estimated intrinsic value of the loans if held for investment.  As such, significant judgment is required in determining fair value, which can vary significantly depending on a market participant’s considerations and assumptions.  For purposes of the disclosure for financial instruments above, the fair value for unimpaired loans held for investment (net) is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current offer rates for similar loans, adjusted by the Company’s allowance for loan losses, which is considered to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value of impaired loans is based on an evaluation at the time the loan is originally identified as impaired, and periodically thereafter, at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value on impaired loans is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans, if the loan is collateral dependent, or based on the discounted cash flows for non-collateral dependent loans, and are classified at a level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For impaired loans, the discount rate applied to expected future cash flows is each loan’s effective rate. Collateral on collateral dependent loans may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable and is determined based on appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. These loans fall within the Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 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. Such discounts are typically significant and result in a level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. For unsecured loans, the estimated future discounted cash flows of the business or borrower, are used in evaluating the fair value. 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.

 

·                  The carrying amounts for non-marketable securities, consisting of stock at the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

·                  The carrying amount for the Bank’s investment in MIMS-1, L.P. (“MIMS-1”) is a reasonable estimate of fair value, primarily due to short-term holding period for the underlying investments of this fund.  The lack of observable inputs results in the classification of the investments as Level 3.

 

·                  The fair value of rate lock commitments is based on the estimated future cash flows associated with each loan being locked as of period end. These future cash flows primarily consist of the anticipated price for each loan that will be paid by investors, net of each loan’s par balance, plus any anticipated loan fees that will be paid by borrowers less any loan origination expenses that will be incurred by the Bank. The net amount of these cash flows is adjusted for the estimated probability that each loan will be funded successfully (i.e., “pull through rate”).

 

·                  The fair value of TBAs is based on quoted prices for identical instruments as derived from Bloomberg as of the measurement date. The values of TBAs arising from BOMC’s riskless trading activity are recorded on a net basis as either a derivative asset or derivative liability.

·                  Although the sales of MSRs do occur, MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily available observable prices; therefore, the precise terms and conditions of sales are not available. The fair value of MSRs related to the portfolio of loans being serviced for others is determined by computing the present value of the expected net servicing income from the servicing portfolio.  Key assumptions incorporated into the MSR valuation model are actual and expected prepayment rates, servicing costs, and ancillary income. The book value of the Company’s MSRs reflects their fair value, not their market value. Given current market conditions, the Company likely would realize a material loss if it were to sell its servicing portfolio in the current market. Market conditions could change favorably or unfavorably in the future.

 

·                  The carrying amounts for accrued interest receivable are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

·                  The disclosed fair values of demand deposits, money market accounts, and savings accounts are equal to the amounts payable on demand, or carrying amounts, at the reporting date. Since the expected life of these accounts significantly exceeds their overnight maturity, the disclosed fair values understate the premium a willing buyer likely would pay for these financial instruments. The fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated by discounting their expected future cash flows by current rates paid for deposits with similar remaining maturities and are considered to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

·                  The fair values of FHLB fixed-rate term borrowings are estimated by discounting their expected future cash flows by current rates charged for borrowings with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts for overnight FHLB borrowings approximate their fair values due to their one-day maturity. The fair value of the Bank’s mortgage note was estimated by discounting its expected future cash flows using an estimated current rate for a similar loan. The carrying amount for the Credit Agreements is a reasonable estimate of their fair value is considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

·                  The fair value of forward sale agreements is based on the change in the price investors would pay for loans as of the date each forward sale agreement is executed compared with the estimated price investors would pay for identical loans as of period end. Also, the Bank records its “best efforts” forward sale agreements at fair value for all forward sale agreements that were not deemed to be derivatives but qualified for fair value accounting. The value of “best efforts” forward sale agreements is adjusted for anticipated pull through rates.

 

·                  The carrying amounts for accrued interest payable are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments typically will change when market interest rates change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. As a result, management attempts to match the expected cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments to the extent believed necessary to maintain the risk of adverse changes in the net value of the Company’s financial instruments within acceptable levels. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Also, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Since the extent to which borrowers and depositors will respond to potential future changes in market rates is difficult to accurately forecast, management relies on myriad assumptions and utilizes considerable judgment when managing the potential risk of adverse changes in the net values of the Company’s financial instruments.

 

Note 11.         EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share represents the earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders, which excludes the earnings (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods reported on the consolidated statements of operations. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effects of unvested shares of restricted stock when the impact is dilutive and excludes such instruments when anti-dilutive as is the case in those periods in which the Company has a net loss. The Company also has other potentially dilutive securities in the form of stock options awarded to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the effect of these options using the treasury method only if the effect on earnings per share is dilutive.  The shares presented in the table below have been adjusted to reflect the share exchange ratio as required in the merger.

Note 12.                          SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company segregates its operations into four primary segments: non-mortgage banking operations (Commercial Bank), mortgage banking operations (Mortgage Bank), non-banking financial operations (MCM), and “Other,” which includes Bancorp, MBFS and eliminations between the Company’s bank and non-bank segments. The Company estimates the operating results of each segment based upon internal management systems and assumptions, which are subject to change and may not be consistent with methodologies that an external party may choose to employ. Accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Segment performance is evaluated using operating income. Transactions among segments are made at estimated market rates.  The following table provides a breakdown of the Company’s assets by segment.

Note 13.                          INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FUND

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company acquired an investment in MIMS-1, which was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on July 30, 2010 for the primary purpose of investing, reinvesting, and trading in private label and agency mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. It commenced operations on August 20, 2010. The investment objective of MIMS-1 is to seek a high total return consisting of both current income and capital gains. The general partner of MIMS-1 is Manhattan Investment Management Services, Inc. (“MIMS”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MCM. The current term of the investment expires July 31, 2014, and is renewable for an additional one-year term if agreed to by the general partner and a majority of the limited partners. The Bank owned 21.43% of MIMS-1 as of September 30, 2012. The Bank earned $191 thousand and $236 thousand during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  MIMS earned $399 thousand and $465 thousand during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, for its role as general partner of MIMS-1.

Note 14.                          DERIVATIVES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

 

Derivatives of BOMC

 

BOMC is engaged in buying and selling securities for a diverse group of customers, primarily financial institutions. As an introducing broker-dealer, BOMC introduces these customer transactions for clearance to its clearing broker on a fully-disclosed basis.

 

In the normal course of business, BOMC effectuates buy and sell orders from customers in mortgaged backed TBA securities. In order to mitigate principal risk, BOMC does not take a position in these transactions but rather arranges for simultaneous buyers and sellers for all transactions prior to executing either a buy trade or a sell trade. (BOMC’s transactions are deemed to be “Riskless Principal Transactions” per Federal Reserve System Regulation Y, Part 225 - Subpart C - Sec. 225.28.)

 

TBAs, which provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying financial instruments, are deemed to be derivatives and involve off-balance sheet financial risk. The contractual or notional amounts related to these transactions reflect BOMC’s volume and activity rather than the amounts at risk. Instead, the risk related to BOMC’s TBA activity, which is due primarily to counterparty risk, is limited to the unrealized fair valuation gains recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These gains are substantially dependent upon the value of the underlying financial instruments and are affected by market forces such as market volatility and changes in interest rates.

 

Quantitative Disclosures for Derivative Financial Instruments Used by BOMC for Trading Purposes

 

The notional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments for BOMC are as follows for the periods indicated:

)

 

All of BOMC’s transactions in TBAs with off-balance sheet risk outstanding at September 30, 2012 are short-term in nature with maturities of three months or less. The fair values of these derivative financial instruments are included in other assets in the net amounts of $33 thousand as of September 30, 2012. The unrealized gains are netted against unrealized losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Included in the above amounts for BOMC are forward buy contracts from the Bank of $218.1 million at a gain of $3.3 million and forward sale contracts to the Bank of $65.4 million at a loss of $630 thousand.

 

Mortgage Bank Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

 

The Company’s mortgage bank originates loans primarily for sale to external investors. In order to mitigate interest rate risk, the Company typically locks interest rates with borrowers prior to funding loans while simultaneously locking a price to sell the loans to external investors.

 

Rate lock commitments with borrowers and commitments to purchase loans from other institutions at specific prices are considered derivatives and must be valued on a fair value basis. The notional amount of these commitments as of September 30, 2012 was $169.3 million. Net gains of $3.0 million and $2.6 million were recorded on these commitments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

 

41



Table of Contents

 

All mandatory obligations to sell loans at a specific price in the future are considered to be derivatives and must be recorded at fair value. The Bank records its non-mandatory forward contracts, related to the sale of its loans, on a fair value basis, provided such commitments qualify for fair value treatment and are not otherwise considered to be derivatives. The notional amount of outstanding forward contracts as of September 30, 2012 was $327.7 million. Net losses of $2.1 million and $1.5 million on these forward contracts were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

 

Commercial Bank Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company’s commercial bank enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers, primarily through commitments to extend credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s exposure to loan loss in the event of nonperformance on commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The Company had the following outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer of the Company to a third party. Since many of the commitments and standby letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future loans or cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. A reserve for commitments to extend credit has been established and totals $201 thousand and $391 thousand as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Note 15.                          RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank may grant loans to certain officers and directors and the companies with which they are associated. Management believes all loans and loan commitments to such parties are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time of comparable transaction with other persons. The Bank had no related party loans outstanding at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

 

Deposits from related parties at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled $3.2 million and $2.4 million respectively.

 

See Note 8 for additional details on a related party credit agreement.

 

In connection with the Merger, Bancorp agreed to conduct a rights offering open to all shareholders of the Bancorp, excluding the Carpenter Community Bancfunds, which collectively owned 74.8% of the Bancorp’s outstanding common stock immediately following the Merger.  The Bancorp currently intends to conduct this offering during the fourth quarter of 2012.  The Bancorp will seek to raise up to $10,000,000 from the sale of shares of the Bancorp’s common stock at a per share price equivalent to the book value per share of Bancorp common stock as of the end of the month preceding the month in which the registration statement relating to the rights offering becomes effective.  This disclosure does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.

 

Note 16.                          SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On November 9, 2012, the Bancorp and the Lenders entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), which provided for (i) the sale by the Bancorp of all of the shares of capital stock (the “Shares”) of its wholly owned subsidiary, MBFS, and (ii) the assignment by the Bancorp of its entire right in and to that certain Promissory Note dated as of July 25, 2011 (the “MCM Note”), made by MCM in favor of the Bancorp in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, in each case to the Lenders for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million (the “Purchase Price”).  The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement was completed simultaneously with the signing of the Purchase Agreement on November 9, 2012, and for accounting purposes will be effective October 31, 2012.  Prior to the consummation of such transactions, the Bancorp received an

 

42



Table of Contents

 

opinion from its financial advisor, Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. confirming that the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to the sale of the Shares is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Bancorp.  The value of consideration received exceeded the carrying amount of the assets exchanged by $1.3 million, which was recognized as additional paid in capital.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Bancorp used a portion of the Purchase Price to repay $516,667 of accrued but unpaid interest and $4,283,333 of the outstanding principal balance of the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. In addition, and pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders converted the remaining $716,667 of the outstanding principal balance of the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement into an aggregate of 169,424 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issued by the Bancorp was determined by dividing the sum of the unpaid principal balance by the Book Value Per Share of the MNHN Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or $4.23 per share.  As a result of the consummation of these transactions, the principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest under the Credit Agreement has been repaid in full.

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Manhattan Bancorp and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these provisions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of Federal and state securities laws. Words such as “will likely result,” “aims,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “hopes,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the regulatory environment, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The Company cautions you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: the impact of changes in interest rates; a continuing decline in economic conditions or the failure of economic conditions to improve; increased competition among financial service providers; the Company’s ability to attract deposit and loan customers; the quality of the Company’s earning assets; government regulation; risks associated with the recent acquisition of Professional Business Bank, including risks and uncertainties relating to the successful integration of the companies’ businesses, the anticipated cost saving arising from the merger, reputational risks, and the reaction of the companies’ customers and employees to the merger; and management’s ability to manage the Company’s operations. For further discussion of these and other risk factors, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4/A dated April 30, 2012, and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

 

General

 

Manhattan Bancorp (“Bancorp”) was incorporated in the State of California in August 2006. Bancorp has one banking subsidiary, Bank of Manhattan, N.A. (the “Bank”). The Bank is a nationally-chartered banking association organized under the laws of the United States, which commenced its banking operations on August 15, 2007. Bancorp operates primarily through the Bank, and the investment in the Bank is its principal asset. The Bank’s headquarters is located in El Segundo, California and at September 30, 2012, following completion of the May 31, 2012 merger described below, had $469 million in assets, including $277 million in net loans held for investment, $76 million in loans held for sale and $374 million in deposits.

 

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MBFS Holdings, Inc. (“MBFS”), Bancorp also indirectly owned until November 5, 2012 a 70% interest in Manhattan Capital Markets LLC (“MCM”), which, either directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, generates revenues primarily from trading income, facilitating trades in whole loans between institutional clients, and advisory services regarding the evaluation and packaging of bond portfolios of other institutions.  As discussed in more detail in Note 16 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Bancorp sold its entire interest in MBFS, including its indirect interest in MCM, on November 5, 2012. MCM is located in Woodland Hills, California and at September 30, 2012 had $5.0 million in assets primarily in cash and cash equivalent balances. References throughout the remainder of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to MCM shall be deemed to include BOM Capital, LLC (formerly Bodi Capital LLC) (“BOMC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCM, and MCM’s other direct and indirect subsidiaries.

 

Bancorp is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB”). The Bank is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (the “OCC”). As a nationally chartered financial institution, the Bank is a Federal Reserve Bank member. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) up to the maximum limits thereof.

 

On May 31, 2012, the Bancorp completed its acquisition of Professional Business Bank (“PBB”) through a merger of PBB with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving institution (the “Merger”).  Immediately prior to the Merger, PBB completed a

transaction in which its holding company, CGB Holdings, Inc. (“CGB Holdings”), was merged into PBB and accounted for using the historical balances as entities under common control.

 

In the Merger, Bancorp issued an aggregate of 8,195,469 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of PBB, representing a ratio of 1.7991 shares of Bancorp common stock for each share of PBB common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger.  The Bancorp shares issued to the PBB shareholders in the Merger constituted approximately 67.2% of the Bancorp’s outstanding common stock after giving effect to the Merger.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) require that a company whose security holders retain the majority voting interest in the combined business be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes.  Accordingly, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition whereby PBB was treated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.  Prior to the Merger, the statements of operations and balance sheet reflect that of only PBB.  The assets and liabilities of Manhattan Bancorp were reported at fair value in a transaction that constituted a business combination subject to the acquisition method of accounting as detailed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations.

 

To determine the fair values at the date of the Merger, the Company engaged third party valuation specialists to assist in the process of valuing the loan portfolio, time deposits, real estate property and the Bancorp’s common stock.  Mortgage servicing assets, derivative instruments, loans held for sale, debt and lease arrangements were valued through internal models, all of which utilize a methodology based on discounted cash flows.  Personal property and equipment were valued at their depreciated balances, and the receivable from broker was valued at par as it represents the cash settlement of loans sold.  Goodwill of $7.4 million was recorded, which is equal to the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in connection with the Merger.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Bank added 4 full-service branch offices, all in California with 2 locations in Pasadena, one in Montebello and one in Glendale.  See Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information on the Merger.

 

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we” or “us” refers to Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiaries, the Bank and MBFS, and its subsidiary, MCM.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to provide a better understanding of the significant changes in trends relating to the Company’s financial condition, results of operation, liquidity and interest rate sensitivity. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements contained within this report including the notes thereto.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and general practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies, because they require us to make assumptions and judgments regarding circumstances or trends that could affect the carrying values of our material assets, such as, for example, assumptions regarding economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying values of certain of our other assets, such as securities available for sale and our deferred tax assets. Those assumptions and judgments are necessarily based on current information available to us regarding those economic conditions or trends or other circumstances. If adverse changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our assumptions or judgments had been based, or other unanticipated events were to happen that might affect our operating results, under U.S. GAAP it could become necessary for us to reduce the carrying values of the affected assets on our balance sheet. In addition, because reductions in the carrying value of assets are sometime effectuated by or require charges to income, such reductions also may have the effect of reducing our income.

 

Our critical accounting policies consist of the accounting policies and practices we follow in determining (i) the sufficiency of the allowance we establish for loan losses; (ii) the carrying values of impaired loans and the sufficiency of the specific reserves thereon; (iii) the estimated future cash flows of troubled debt restructurings or the fair value of the collateral associated with collateral-dependent troubled debt restructurings; (iv) the fair values of derivative instruments, mortgage servicing rights, loans and contingent liabilities associated with mortgage banking activities;(v) the fair values of investment securities that we hold for sale; (vi) the amount of our deferred tax asset, consisting primarily of tax loss carryforwards and tax credits that we believe will be able to use to offset income taxes in future periods, (vii) the assumptions used and resulting fair values of amounts recorded in acquisition accounting, including but not limited to loans, deposits, intangibles and goodwill and (viii) the evaluation of expected cash flows and the resulting impact on accretable yield and nonaccretable differences on acquired loans.

Summary of Financial Results — Quarter ended September 30, 2012

 

The Company reported net operating income of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 representing an increase of $3.6 million compared to a net operating loss of $(967) thousand for the same period one year ago. The Company reported earnings per diluted share of $0.21 for the current quarter compared to a loss per diluted share of $(0.12) for the same quarter in 2011.

 

The increase in earnings during the period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 resulted primarily from an increase in non-interest income related to mortgage banking activities, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses associated with those same activities.  Net interest income declined in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011, partially offset by a decrease in provision for loan losses.  See the specific sections below for details regarding these changes.

 

The table below highlights the changes in the nature and sources of income and expense.

Net Interest Income and Margin

 

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits is the principal component of the Company’s earnings.  Net interest income is affected by changes in the nature and volume of earning assets held during the quarter, the rates earned on such assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

 

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $4.7 million, which was comprised of $5.2 million in interest income and $426 thousand in interest expense. Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $3.4 million, which was comprised of $3.6 million in interest income and $167 thousand in interest expense.  Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 represented an increase of $1.3 million, or 39.3%, from the same period one year earlier.  The increase in net interest income from the same period one year ago was primarily attributable to an increase in average earning assets as a result of loan growth from the Merger, partially offset by lower yields on earning assets and slightly higher cost of interest bearing liabilities.

 

The composition of the average balance sheet impacts change in net interest income.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2012 average earning assets of $412.1 million represented an increase of $175.9 million, or 74.5%, compared to $236.2 million for the same period in 2011.  The increase in earning assets is principally the result of the earning assets acquired in the Merger.  The Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio, a measure of leverage, averaged 98.5% during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which represented an increase compared to an average of 78.2% for the same quarter of 2011 as a result of higher loan growth relative to deposit funding.

The Company’s net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was 4.56% compared to 5.70% in the same period one year earlier. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to decreased yield on earning assets along with slightly higher cost of interest bearing liabilities.  The lower yield on interest earning assets was primarily influenced by lower yields on loans; the higher yield in the quarter ending September 30, 2011 was the result of a greater amount of yield accretion from loans accounted for under ASC 310-20 and ASC 310-30 than during the same period in 2012.

 

The following table shows the composition of average earning assets and average funding sources, average yields and rates, and the net interest margin for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Interest Income

 

Interest income of $5.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 represented an increase of $1.6 million, or 44.8%, from $3.6 million in the same quarter one year earlier.  The average yield on earning assets was 4.98% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 5.98% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the yield on earning assets.

 

Average gross loans were $371.7 million for three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $202.5 million or 119.7% from $169.2 million for the same period one year earlier.  Average loans comprised 90.2% of average earning assets in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 71.6% in the second quarter of 2011.

 

Other earning assets, consisting of investment securities, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, averaged $40.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $26.5 million or 39.7% from $67.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $426 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which represented an increase of $259 thousand, or 155.1%, from $167 thousand for the comparable period of 2011.  The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities compared to the same period in 2011, which is primarily due to the interest bearing liabilities acquired in the Merger during the second quarter of 2012.  Average interest-bearing liabilities were $268.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $120.6 million, or 81.3%, from $148.3 million for the same period one year earlier.

 

Average interest bearing deposits were $240.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which represented 63.7% of total average deposits and was an increase of $92.2 million, or 62.2%, from $148.3 million representing 68.5% of total average deposits in the third quarter of 2011.

 

Other (non-deposit) interest bearing liabilities are primarily comprised of FHLB and other borrowings, and are primarily used to supplement the Company’s funding requirements.  Other interest bearing liabilities averaged $28.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $46 thousand for the comparable period of 2011.

The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.42% in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 0.31% for the same period in 2011.

 

Credit Risk and Provision for Credit Losses

 

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) to provide for potential losses in its loan portfolio. Additions to the allowance are made by charges to operating expense in the form of a provision for loan losses. All loans that are judged to be uncollectible will be charged against the allowance, while recoveries would be credited to the allowance. We have instituted loan policies designed primarily for internal use, to adequately evaluate and assess the analysis of the risk factors associated with the Bank’s loan portfolio, to enable us to assess such risk factors prior to granting new loans and to assess the sufficiency of the allowance. We conduct an evaluation on the loan portfolio monthly.

 

The calculation of the adequacy of the ALLL necessarily includes estimates by management applied to known loan portfolio elements. We employ a 10-point loan grading system in an effort to more accurately track the inherent quality of the loan portfolio. The 10-point system assigns a value of “1” or “2” to loans that are substantially risk free. Modest, average and acceptable risk loans are assigned point values of “3”, “4”, and “5”, respectively. Loans on the pass watch list are assigned a point value of “6.”  Point values of “7,” “8,” “9” and “10” are assigned, respectively, to loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Using these risk factors, management conducts an analysis of the general reserves applying quantitative factors based upon different risk scenarios.  In addition, management considers other trends that are qualitative relative to our marketplace, demographic trends, the risk rating of the loan portfolios as discussed above, amounts and trends in non-performing assets and concentration factors.

 

The Company charged-off $599 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The Company did not have any loan recoveries during the third quarter of 2012 or 2011. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $112 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012 due to the new credit funding in the quarter.  The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.0 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2011, which resulted from loans being charged off and growth in the loan portfolio.

 

The following schedule provides an analysis of the allowance for credit losses for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

The allowance for loan losses was $1.6 million, or 0.57% of total loans held for investment, at September 30, 2012, compared to $2.6 million, or 1.59% of total loans, at September 30, 2011. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses from September 30, 2011 to September 30, 2012 is primarily attributable to charge-offs being taken for loans for which the Company had made provisions for specific reserves in the third quarter of 2011, thus the remaining allowance for loan losses remains adequate to cover the loans that are not covered under ASC310.

 

Based on an evaluation of individual credits, historical credit loss experience by loan type, economic conditions, and the Company’s reassessment of risks noted above, management has allocated the allowance for loan losses as follows for the periods ending September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

The nonperforming assets at September 30, 2012 consisted of loans on nonaccrual or 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaling $1.4 million, and other real estate owned valued at $3.5 million. Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2012 were comprised of loans with legal contractual balances totaling approximately $11 million reduced by $5 million received in nonaccrual interest and impairment charges of $1.1 million which have been charged against the allowance for credit losses.  As a result, there no longer was an indicated potential loss exposure pertaining to nonperforming loans and no impairment reserves were required to be included in the allowance for credit losses.

 

Included in nonperforming loans at September 30, 2012 are loans totaling $777 thousand that have been modified in trouble debt restructurings, where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on a loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, or other actions intended to maximize collection. In order for these loans to return to accrual status, the borrower must demonstrate a sustained period of timely payments. As of September 30, 2012, none of the previously modified loans were considered performing due to a sustained period of timely payments.

Management undertakes significant processes in order to identify potential problem loans in a timely manner. In addition to regular interaction with the Company’s borrowers, the relationship managers review the credit ratings for each loan on a monthly basis and identify any potential downgrades. For commercial and factoring/asset-based loans, the Company receives quarterly financial statements and other pertinent reporting, such as borrowing bases for asset-based facilities, so as to identify any deteriorating financial trends. Covenant compliance for these loans is also monitored on a quarterly basis.  Management also engages a third party loan review firm that reviews the loan portfolio periodically to further identify potential problem loans. The loan review includes assessment of underwriting, quality of legal documents, management of the loan relationship, and adherence to the credit policy along with acceptable risk mitigation and rationale for exceptions to the policy.

 

As part of the loan approval process, management identifies the nature and type of underlying collateral supporting individual loans. Prior to or at the time of initial advances, any required lien positions are verified using UCC lien searches for personal property collateral, or title insurance for real property collateral. The Company engages a third party loan review firm to conduct an annual review of its loan documentation and the related policies and procedures regarding the loan documentation process.

 

Due to positive trends in overall loan classifications during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company has been able to modestly lower the level of reserves to 0.57% of total loans at September 30, 2012. The coverage ratio, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 0.74% at September 30, 2012 compared to 0.48%  at December 31, 2011. Management believes that the coverage ratio reflects the conservative charge-off practice and that the allowance is adequate for losses not specifically identified in impairment analysis.

 

At September 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $13.5 million of loans that were not categorized as non-performing but for which known information about the borrower’s financial condition caused management to have concern about the ability of the borrower to comply with the repayment terms of the loan. The following table presents information regarding potential problem loans consisting of loans graded watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, but still performing.

Potential problem loans were identified through the ongoing loan review process and are subject to continuing management attention. Management has provided in the allowance for loan and lease losses for potential losses related to these loans, based on an evaluation of current market conditions, loan collateral, other secondary sources of repayment and cash flow generation. While credit quality as of September 30, 2012, as measured by loan delinquencies and by the Company’s internal asset quality rating system, is stable and well managed, there can be no assurances that continuing economic weakness will not lead to new problem loans in future periods. A further decline in economic conditions in the Company’s market area or other factors could adversely impact individual borrowers or the loan portfolio in general. The Company has well defined underwriting standards and expects to continue with prompt collection efforts, but economic uncertainties or changes may cause one or more borrowers to experience problems in the coming months.

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income increased by $10.8 million to $12.7 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2011.  The increase in non-interest income is primarily due to the addition of the mortgage banking and broker-dealer revenues acquired in the Merger.

 

The following tables reflect the major components of the Company’s non-interest income for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods ending September 30, 2011:

During the third quarter of 2012, $8.7 million, or 68%, of the Company’s non-interest income was generated from our mortgage banking activities, $3.2 million, or 25%, was generated by MCM, and $872 thousand, or 7% was generated by our commercial banking activities. In comparison, 100% of the Company’s non-interest income was generated by our commercial banking activities in the third quarter of 2011.

 

Non-interest revenues from our mortgage bank arise primarily from the funding and sale of mortgage loans. In the third quarter of 2012, $8.7 million of the Company’s non-interest income was generated by our mortgage bank as a result of these operations being added in the Merger.  Loan sales totaled $73.4 million during the third quarter of 2012.

 

Revenues from MCM come from three primary sources: trading income, facilitating trades in whole loans between institutional clients, and advisory services regarding the evaluation and packaging of bond portfolios for other institutions. In the third quarter of 2012, $3.2 million of the Company’s non-interest income was generated by MCM, approximately 71% of which was related to trading activities.

 

Non-interest revenues from our commercial banking activities are generated from three primary sources:  gains on the recovery of acquired loans, service charges and fees related to deposit and transaction accounts, and earnings on the Bank’s investment in the MIMS-1 limited partnership fund.  Bank fee income experienced modest increase for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 due to the higher number of customer accounts resulting from the Merger.  Amounts recovered from acquired loans, which typically fluctuate due to the nature of the income, was $335 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012, while $1.6 million was recognized decreased during the same period in 2011.  The Bank’s investment in the MIMS-1 limited partnership provided $191 thousand of earnings in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $131 thousand in the same period last year.

 

Non-Interest Expense

 

Non-interest expense increased by $11.5 million, or 358%, during the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. This increase was driven primarily by compensation and benefits and, to a lesser extent, professional fees and infrastructural enhancements (i.e., occupancy and equipment, etc.). More specifically, the increase in non-interest expense resulted from the operations acquired in the Merger that were fully reflected in the third quarter of 2012 and not at all in 2011.

Compensation and Benefits

 

Compensation and benefits increase by $8.5 million to $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2011.  This increase primarily reflects the addition of personnel as a result of the Merger and requisite growth in the Company’s staffing levels to support expansions in our mortgage banking division and, to a lesser extent, broker-dealer. The Company had a total of 221 full-time equivalent (“FTE”) employees at September 30, 2012 compared to 50 at September 30, 2011.  Mortgage related employees comprised 102 of the FTE employees at September 30, 2012, where there were no mortgage related employees at September 30, 2011. The table below reflects the Company’s additional personnel following the Merger which added a mortgage banking division and MCM to the operations as well as increasing the commercial banking staff as of September 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011.

Occupancy and equipment costs that totaled $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, represents an increase of $669 thousand over the $355 thousand for the same period in 2011. This increase reflects the additional operations from the Merger, including growth in the Company’s infrastructure to support expansion of mortgage banking activities and, to a lesser extent, the commercial banking activities.

 

Technology and Communication

 

Technology and communication expenses totaled $971 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a $595 thousand increase over the $376 thousand incurred during the same period in 2012.  Consistent with other categories of expenses, this increase reflected the impact of the Merger, including growth in the Company’s infrastructure to support expansion in the mortgage bank and, to a lesser extent, the commercial bank.  Expenses incurred during the recent quarter include costs associated with the data processing conversion that was completed in August 2012.

Professional Fees

 

Professional fees totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a $482 thousand increase over the $585 thousand incurred during the same period in 2011.  This increase is related to outlays for various strategic initiatives undertaken by the Company, the majority of which related to the Merger and consultants employed to assist with the data processing conversion.

 

Summary of Financial Results — Nine Months ended September 30, 2012

 

The Company reported net operating income of $668 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 representing an increase of $1.2 million compared to a net operating loss of $(495) thousand for the same period one year ago. The Company reported earnings per diluted share of $0.06 for the current nine months compared to a loss per diluted share of  $(0.06) for the same nine months in 2011.

 

The increase in earnings during the period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 resulted primarily from an increase in non-interest income related to mortgage banking activities, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses associated with those same activities.  Net interest income declined in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011, partially offset by a decrease in provision for loan losses.   See the specific sections below for details regarding these changes.

Net Interest Income and Margin

 

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits is the principal component of the Company’s earnings.  Net interest income is affected by changes in the nature and volume of earning assets held during the nine months, the rates earned on such assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

 

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $10.4 million, which was comprised of $11.1 million in interest income and $761 thousand in interest expense. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $11.7 million, which was comprised of $12.4 million in interest income and $659 thousand in interest expense.  Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 represented a decrease of $1.3 million, or 11.4%, from the same period one year earlier.  The decrease in net interest income from the same period one year ago was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average yield on earning assets, partially offset by an increase in earning assets.

 

56



Table of Contents

 

The composition of the average balance sheet impacts change in net interest income.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 average earning assets of $299.3 million represented an increase of $40.9 million, or 15.8%, compared to $258.4 million for the same period in 2011.  The increase in earning assets is principally the result of the earning assets acquired in the Merger.  The Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio, a measure of leverage, averaged 93.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which represented an increase compared to an average of 76.0% for the same nine months of 2011 as a result of higher loan growth relative to deposit funding.

 

The Company’s net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 4.63% compared to 6.06% in the same period one year earlier. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to decreased yield on earning assets.  The lower yield on interest earning assets was primarily influenced by lower yields on loans; the higher yield in the nine months ending September 30, 2011 was the result of a greater amount of yield accretion from loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 than during the same period in 2012.

 

The following table shows the composition of average earning assets and average funding sources, average yields and rates, and the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Interest Income

 

Interest income of $11.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 represented a decrease of $1.3 million, or 10.0%, from $12.4 million in the same nine months one year earlier.  The average yield on earning assets was 4.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 6.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the yield on earning assets, partially offset by an increase in earning assets.

 

Average gross loans were $255.4 million for nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $72.4 million or 40.0% from $183.0 million for the same period one year earlier.  Average loans comprised 85.3% of average earning assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 70.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Other earning assets, consisting of investment securities, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, averaged $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $31.5 million or 41.8% from $75.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $761 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which represented an increase of $102 thousand, or 15.5%, from $659 thousand for the comparable period of 2011.  The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities compared to the same period in 2011, which is primarily due to the interest bearing liabilities acquired in the Merger during the second quarter of 2012.  Average interest-bearing liabilities were $186.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $14.2 million, or 8.2%, from $172.7 million for the same period one year earlier.

 

Average interest bearing deposits were $175.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which represented 63.9% of total average deposits and was an increase of $2.9 million, or 1.7%, from $172.6 million representing 71.7% of total average deposits in the second nine months of 2011.

 

Other (non-deposit) interest bearing liabilities are primarily comprised of FHLB and other borrowings, and are primarily used to supplement the Company’s funding requirements.  Other interest bearing liabilities averaged $11.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $50 thousand for the comparable period of 2011.

The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.36% in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 0.37% for the same period in 2011.

 

Credit Risk and Provision for Credit Losses

 

The Company charged-off $1.1 million and $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company did not record any recoveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or September 30, 2011.

 

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $379 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to the new credit funding in the nine months.  The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.1 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2011, which resulted from loans being charged off and growth in the loan portfolio.

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income increased by $13.9 million to $16.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2011.  The increase in non-interest income is primarily due to the addition of the mortgage banking and broker-dealer revenues acquired in the Merger.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, $9.6 million, or 59%, of the Company’s non interest income was generated from our mortgage banking activities, $4.3 million, or 27%, was generated by MCM, and $2.3 million, or 14% was generated by our commercial banking activities. In comparison, 100% of the Company’s non-interest income was generated by our commercial banking activities in the third quarter of 2011.

 

Non-interest revenues from our mortgage bank arise primarily from the funding and sale of mortgage loans. In the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, $9.6 million of the Company’s non-interest income was generated by our mortgage bank as a result of these operations being added in the Merger.  Loan sales totaled $259.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Revenues from MCM come from three primary sources: trading income, facilitating trades in whole loans between institutional clients, and advisory services regarding the evaluation and packaging of bond portfolios for other institutions. In the first nine months of 2012, $4.3 million of the Company’s non-interest income was generated by MCM, approximately 68% of which was related to trading activities.

 

Non-interest revenues from our commercial banking activities are generated from three primary sources:  gains on the recovery of acquired loans, service charges and fees related to deposit and transaction accounts, and earnings on the Bank’s investment in the MIMS-1 limited partnership fund.  Bank fee income experienced modest increase for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 due to the higher number of customer accounts resulting from the Merger.  Amounts recovered from acquired loans, which typically fluctuate due to the nature of the income, was $640 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, while $1.6 million was recognized decreased during the same period in 2011.  The Bank’s investment in the MIMS-1 limited partnership provided $236 thousand of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $131 thousand in the same period last year.

Compensation and Benefits

 

Compensation and benefits increase by $11.3 million to $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2011.  This increase primarily reflects the addition of personnel as a result of the Merger and requisite growth in the Company’s staffing levels to support expansions in our mortgage banking division and, to a lesser extent, broker-dealer. The Company had a total of 221 full-time equivalent (“FTE”) employees at September 30, 2012 compared to 50 at September 30, 2011.  Mortgage related employees comprised 102 of the FTE employees at September 30, 2012, where there were no mortgage related employees at September 30, 2011. The table below reflects the Company’s additional personnel following the business combination which added a mortgage banking division and MCM to the operations as well as increasing the commercial banking staff as of September 30, 2012 compared to September 30, 2011.

Occupancy and equipment costs that totaled $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, represents an increase of $735 thousand over the $1.1 million for the same period in 2011. This increase reflects the additional operations from the Merger, including growth in the Company’s infrastructure to support expansion of mortgage banking activities and, to a lesser extent, the commercial banking activities.

Technology and Communication

 

Technology and communication expenses totaled $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a $778 thousand increase over the $963 thousand incurred during the same period in 2012.  Consistent with other categories of expenses, this increase reflected the impact of the Merger, including growth in the Company’s infrastructure to support expansion in the mortgage bank and, to a lesser extent, the commercial bank.  Expenses incurred during the recent quarter include costs associated with the data processing conversion that was completed in August 2012.

 

Professional Fees

 

Professional fees totaled $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a $1.2 million increase over the $1.8 million incurred during the same period in 2011.  This increase is related to outlays for various strategic initiatives undertaken by the Company, the majority of which related to the Merger and consultants employed to assist with the data processing conversion.

 

Balance Sheet

 

Total assets of the Company at September 30, 2012 were $469.3 million, an increase of $229.9 million compared to $239.4 million at December 31, 2011.  Fair value additions to total assets from the Merger totaled $232.5 million, offset primarily by decreases from other operational activity, including net loan sales and principal pay downs and sales of investment securities.

 

The loan portfolio consists of loans held for investment and loans held for sale.  Loans held for investment net of allowance for loan losses increased by $111.1 million to $277.5 million as of September 30, 2012 compared to $166.4 million as of December 31, 2011.  This portfolio growth was comprised of $99.9 million due to the Merger, and net new loan originations of $11.2 million for the first nine months of 2012.  Prior to the Merger, PBB had not recently engaged in the sale of loans.  However, the acquisition resulted in the addition of loans held for sale with a fair value of $76.4 million as of May 31, 2012.  Loans held for sale declined slightly to $76.0 million at September 30, 2012 with the net change reflecting the turnover and restoration of the held for sale portfolio as depicted in the statement of cash flows.

The Bank’s largest category of loans is real estate loans secured primarily by commercial properties.  Commercial real estate loans were $153.9 million at September 30, 2012, which represented an increase of $55.0 million, or 55.6%, compared to $98.9 million at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, commercial real estate loans comprised 43.3% of total loans outstanding compared to 58.6% at December 31, 2011.

 

The Bank offers a variety of commercial loans, including secured and unsecured, term loans and revolving lines of credit, equipment loans and accounts receivable loans. Although the Bank underwrites secured term loans and revolving lines of credit primarily on the basis of a borrower’s cash flow and ability to service the debt, we also rely on the liquidation of the underlying collateral as a secondary payment source, where applicable.  Commercial loans were $83.4 million at September 30, 2012, which represented an increase of $36.9 million, or 79.4%, compared to $46.5 million at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, commercial loans comprised 23.5% of total loans outstanding compared to 27.5% at December 31, 2011.

The Company makes loans secured by residential real estate that it holds in its own portfolio as well as loans that it holds for sale.  Residential loans held for investment include loans secured by multi-family as well as single family dwellings.  Residential loans held for investment were $38.9 million at September 30, 2012, which represented an increase of $18.0 million, or 86.1%, compared to $20.9 million at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, residential loans held for investment comprised 10.9% of total loans outstanding compared to 12.4% at December 31, 2011.  Through the Merger the Company acquired an operating line that originates residential mortgage loans for sale and did not have any residential loans held for sale at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, residential loans held for sale were $76.1 million, which comprised 21.4% of total loans outstanding.

 

Construction loans consist of real estate that is in the process of improvement.  Repayment of these loans may be dependent on the sale of the property to third parties or the successful completion of the improvements by the builder for the end user.  Construction loans also run the risk that improvements will not be completed on time or in accordance with specifications and projected costs.  Construction loans generally have terms of one year to eighteen months consistent with the anticipated construction period and interest rates based on a designated index.  Substantially all construction loans have built in interest reserve accounts.  Real estate construction loans were $1.3 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $35 thousand at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, construction loans comprised 0.4% of total loans outstanding compared to 0.1% at December 31, 2011.

 

Other loans consist of consumer loans that generally have higher interest rates than mortgage loans. The risk involved in consumer loans is the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. Other loans consist of education loans, vehicle loans and other secured and unsecured loans as well as overdrafts that have been made for a variety of consumer purposes.  Other loans were $1.6 million at September 30, 2012, which represented an decrease of $793 thousand, or (33.2)%, compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, other loans comprised 0.4% of total loans outstanding compared to1.4% at December 31, 2011.

 

The Company’s loans held for investment include loans that are delinquent or have had the terms of repayment changed that constitute troubled debt restructuring.  At September 30, 2012 the Company had total non-performing loans of $2.2 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 55.6%, from $4.9 million at December 31, 2011. The Company also had other real estate owned at September 30, 2012 of $3.6 million, which was unchanged from December 31, 2011.  Total non-performing assets at September 30, 2012 were $5.7 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 32.0%, from $8.4 million at December 31, 2011.

Regulatory Capital

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Bank’s financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and 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 accepted accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators such as components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require both the Company and the Bank to maintain the following minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 Capital to average assets. As of September 30, 2012, the Company and the Bank exceeded all applicable capital adequacy requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under generally applicable regulatory guidelines.

 

Under the Federal Reserve Board’s guidelines, Bancorp is a “small bank holding company” and thus qualifies for an exemption from the consolidated risk-based and leverage capital adequacy guidelines applicable to bank holding companies with assets of $500 million or more. However, while not required to do so under the Federal Reserve Board’s capital adequacy guidelines, the Company still maintained levels of capital on a consolidated basis required to be considered “well capitalized” under generally applicable regulatory guidelines as of September 30, 2012.

 

The following table sets forth the regulatory capital ratios for the Bank and Company as of September 30, 2012:

BOMC is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1 (and the rule of the “applicable” exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1).  At September 30, 2012, BOMC had net capital of $744 thousand, which was $644 thousand in excess of its required net capital of $100,000.  BOMC’s net capital ratio was 1.65 to 1.

 

Liquidity and Liquidity Management

 

The adequacy of the Company’s liquidity is favorably reflected in its interest-bearing overnight deposit balances at a level that would cushion unexpected increases in loans or decreases in customer deposits. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had average balances of $31.0 million and $36.5 million, respectively, in interest-bearing and overnight deposit balances, representing 7.5% and 12.2%, respectively, of our average interest-earning assets.

 

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents represented 15.6% and 22.6% of our total deposits, respectively. The ratio at September 30, 2012 declined significantly following the deposits added in the Merger; however, the ratio is deemed adequate for managing the Company’s liquidity when coupled with other funds available to the Company. These secondary sources of liquidity include the previously noted borrowing capacity at the FHLB as well as lines of credit.  The Company has lines of credit totaling $17 million for obtaining overnight funds from correspondent banks.  These lines are subject to availability and have restrictions as to the number of days funds can be used each month.

The Bank monitors concentrations of funds which are provided by a single investor or from a single related source on a monthly basis to assist in its assessment of liquidity. As of September 30, 2012 there were 11 relationships representing approximately 21% of the Company’s total deposits, excluding brokered and CDARS deposits. None of these relationships holds deposits in excess 5% of the Company’s total deposits, excluding brokered and CDARS deposits.

 

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Notwithstanding management’s assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2012, we determined that those controls and procedures were not effective in earlier periods but appropriate steps have been taken to improve these controls and procedures.  We believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal years covered thereby in all material respects.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

Other than the changes discussed above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the third quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. — Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings.

 

Item 1A. — Risk Factors

 

Management is not aware of any material changes to the risk factors discussed in Part 1, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, except as described below. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks described below and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to management or that management currently believes to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

If we were to sell our mortgage servicing portfolio, we may realize a material loss in the current market.

 

The book value of our MSRs reflects their fair value, not their market value. Given current market conditions, we likely would realize a loss if we were to sell our servicing portfolio in the current market and that loss could be material. Market conditions could change favorably or unfavorably in the future.

Our income is subject to significant volatility due to potential changes in the fair value of our MSRs.

 

The Company measures its MSRs at fair value. This election was made to facilitate the potential future implementation of a risk mitigation strategy to hedge against potential adverse changes in the fair value of the Company’s MSRs due future changes in interest rates and other market factors.

 

Management periodically evaluates the need to employ risk management strategies designed to mitigate potential adverse changes in the value of our MSRs. Hedging strategies may involve securities as well as derivatives such as interest-rate swaps, options, and various forms of forward contracts. As interest rates change, these financial instruments would be expected to have changes in fair value inversely correlated to the change in the fair value of the hedged MSRs.

 

Our hedging activities may not be effective in mitigating adverse changes in the fair value of our MSRs which, in turn, could have a material adverse impact on net income.

 

The Company has not implemented hedging strategies for its MSRs at this time. Unexpected changes in market conditions prior to the implementation of a hedging strategy could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s earnings.

Proposed regulatory rules could affect the Company.

 

The federal bank regulatory agencies recently issued joint proposed rules that would increase minimum capital ratios, add a new minimum common equity ratio, add a new capital conservation buffer, and would change the risk-weightings of certain assets. The proposed changes, if implemented, would be phased in from 2013 through 2019. Management is currently assessing the effect of the proposed rules on the Company and the Bank’s capital position. Community bank associations are currently discussing their concerns with the regulatory agencies regarding the additional regulatory burdens the proposals would place on community banks.

 

Recently enacted legislation allows us to deregister under the Exchange Act, which would result in a reduction in the amount and frequency of publicly-available information about us.

 

Recently enacted legislation called the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act may allow us to terminate the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act. If we decide to deregister our common stock under the Exchange Act, it would enable us to save significant expenses relating to our public disclosure and SEC reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.  However, a deregistration of our common stock also would result in a reduction in the amount and frequency of publicly-available information about the Company and the Bank because we would no longer be required to file Exchange Act reports with the SEC, such as annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and proxy statements.  Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which does not require Exchange Act registration or that we meet the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.  So our common stock could continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board following deregistration, but there is no assurance that it would continue to do so.  In addition, the Company and the Bank make regulatory filings that are available at http://www.ffiec.gov and https://cdr/ffiec.gov, respectively, which would continue to be available after the Exchange Act deregistration.

 

If we cannot maintain effective disclosure controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results on a timely basis.

 

We cannot be certain that our efforts to improve our disclosure controls will be successful or that we will be able to maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain effective controls or timely effect any necessary improvement of our disclosure controls could harm operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, which could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our securities.
