BRITTON & KOONTZ CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Note A.  Basis of Presentation

The consolidated balance sheet for Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010, has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the year then ended.  The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2011, and for the three and nine months then ended are unaudited and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results as of and for the periods presented.  Certain 2010 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.

Note B.  Interest Rate Risk Management

On August 10, 2007, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Britton & Koontz Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), entered into a 5 year, no-call 2-year Structured Repurchase Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”) for $20 million.  Terms of the transaction call for the Bank to pay a fixed interest rate of 4.82%.  Effective July 20, 2010, the Company extended the term of this agreement for an additional three years.  The new agreement entered into is a 5 year, no-call 3 year Structured Repurchase Agreement with interest payments made quarterly on the 20th day of January, April, July and October, which commenced on October 20, 2010, and continue up to and including the maturity date.  Chase, in its discretion, may terminate the agreement on July 20, 2013, by notice to the Company two business days prior to such date.  In exchange for the extension of term, Chase lowered the interest rate to be paid from the original 4.82% to a fixed interest rate of 3.69%.  There is no interest rate cap embedded in the modified agreement.

On November 13, 2007, the Company entered into a 5 year, no-call 3-year Structured Repurchase Agreement with Chase for an additional $20 million.  Terms of the transaction call for the Bank to pay a fixed interest rate of 4.71%, which rate is no longer subject to adjustment.  Chase, in its discretion, may terminate this agreement on the 13th of each February, May, August and November.

Under each of the above-described repurchase agreements, the Bank is required to maintain a margin percentage of 105% on the subject securities.  These agreements with Chase were entered into as a means of adding additional leverage and to lock in a fixed rate for a certain period of time.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio, caused by interest rate increases, are not credit issues and are deemed to be temporary.  Cash flows from the mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States or by an agency of the United States government.  The Company also has the ability to hold these securities until maturity; the Company does not have the intent to sell, and more likely than not will not be required to sell, these securities prior to maturity.  Thus, the Company is not required to record any loss on the securities. However, asset/liability strategies may occasionally result in the Company adjusting the available-for-sale portfolio duration by selling securities in the portfolio.  The Company sold $16 million of its 20 year mortgage backed securities during the 3rd quarter of 2011, after selling $10 million of similar long-term securities during each of the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2011.

Note D.  Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Management segregates the loan portfolio into portfolio segments.  Under applicable accounting rules, a loan portfolio segment is determined based on the level at which a bank develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for loan losses.  The Bank’s portfolio segments are based on loan types and the underlying risk factors present in each loan type.  Such risk factors are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate.  The following tables set forth, as of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the balance of both the allowance for loan losses and all “financing receivables” (that is, the principal amount of all loans plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the applicable measurement date) by portfolio segment, which is then further segregated by amounts evaluated for impairment collectively and individually.  The allowance for loan losses allocated to each portfolio segment is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular portfolio segment and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other portfolio segments.

Management divides the loan portfolio segments into classes, which are based on the initial measurement of the loan, risk characteristics of the loan and the method for monitoring and assessing the credit risk of the loan.

As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, loan balances outstanding more than 90 days and still accruing interest amounted to $220 thousand and $484 thousand, respectively.  As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, non-accrual loans were $11.7 million and $7.5 million, respectively.  In addition to non-accrual loans, the Bank considers all loans more than 90 days past due and troubled debt restructurings (“TDR’s”) as non-performing loans.

 

 
 
The following tables present, by class, qualitative and quantitative information concerning the credit quality of financing receivables by credit quality indicators as of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010.

The Company originates loans that will be sold in the secondary market and other loans that it plans to hold to maturity.  Loans to be held in the portfolio are classified as held to maturity at origination based on the Company’s intent and ability to hold until maturity.  These loans are reported at their outstanding balance.  Loans held-for-sale are designated as such at origination and locked in with an approved investor by obtaining a forward commitment to purchase the loan, usually not to exceed 30 days from closing.  Management has a clear intent to sell the loan based on the commitment it has obtained from the investor.  These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market value.

Loans held-for-sale primarily consist of fifteen and thirty year fixed rate, one to four family real estate loans which are valued at the lower of cost or market, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements, calculated on an individual basis.  These loans are sold to protect earnings and equity from undesirable shifts in interest rates.  Unrealized losses on loans held-for-sale, if any, are charged against income in the period of decline.  Such declines are recorded in a valuation allowance account and deducted from the cost basis of the loans.  There were no such losses at September 30, 2011.  Gains on loans held-for-sale are recognized when realized and amounted to $117 thousand and $370 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Loans held-for-sale decreased from $6.1 million at December 31, 2010, to $4.4 million at September 30, 2011.

Loans held in the portfolio are periodically analyzed and compiled as to the individual characteristics of each loan.  If at any time a decision is made to sell any loan in the portfolio, such loan is reclassified as held-for-sale and carried at the lower of cost or market.

Note F.  Junior Subordinated Debentures

On March 26, 2003, the Company finalized its participation in FTN Financial Capital Market’s and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods’ pooled trust preferred offering.  The Company established Britton & Koontz Statutory Trust # 1 which issued 5,000 capital securities and 155 common securities with an aggregate liquidation amount of $5 million and $155 thousand, respectively.  The term of the capital securities and debentures is 30 years, callable after 5 years at the option of the Company.  The initial interest rate was 4.41%, adjusting quarterly at 3-Month LIBOR plus 3.15% and capped at 11.75%.  The interest rate at September 30, 2011, was 3.51%.   The securities are currently callable at the discretion of the Company on a quarterly basis.

Note G.  Loan Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit to its customers.  Letters of credit at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, were $4.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had entered into commercial and residential loan commitments with certain customers that had an aggregate unused balance of $37.0 million, a decrease from $38.8 million at December 31, 2010.  Because letters of credit and loan commitments often are not used in their entirety, if at all, before they expire, the balances on such commitments should not be used to project actual future liquidity requirements.  However, the Company does incorporate expectations about the level of draws under all credit-related commitments into its funds management process.

Note H.  Earnings per Share

Basic income per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The computation of diluted income per share assumes the exercise of all outstanding securities potentially convertible into common stock, including options granted, unless the effect is anti-dilutive.  The effect will be anti-dilutive when the exercise price per share of an option exceeds the current market price for a share of Company stock.  The Company accounts for its options under the recognition and measurement of fair value provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.”  The Company uses the Black-Scholes method for valuing stock options.  The following information sets forth the computation of earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Note I.  Fair Value

Fair Value Disclosures

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.  Fair value is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the inputs used to develop those assumptions and measure fair value.  The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

·  
Level 1 - Includes the most reliable sources, and includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·  
Level 2 - Includes observable inputs.  Observable inputs include inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) as well as inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

·  
Level 3 - Includes unobservable inputs and should be used only when observable inputs are unavailable.

Since the assumptions used in measuring fair value significantly affect fair value measurements, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  In addition, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from these disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Short-Term Investments - For short-term instruments, including federal funds sold, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
 
 

 
Securities - Fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.  Investment securities also include equity securities that are not traded in an active market.  The fair value of these securities equals their carrying value.

Loans - The fair value for loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, with interest rates currently being offered for simi­lar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.  Loans with similar classifications are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.  The allowance for loan losses, which was used to measure the credit risk, is subtracted from the fair value of the loans.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance – The fair value approximates its carrying value which is based on cash surrender values indicated by insurance companies.

Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, with interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings - The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances is estimated using the rates currently offered for advances of similar maturities.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements – The fair value approximates its carrying value.

Junior Subordinated Debt – Due to short-term variable repricing, the fair value approximates its carrying value.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit - The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit do not differ significantly from the commitment amount and are therefore omitted from this disclosure.

The estimated approximate fair values of the Company’s financial in­struments as of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Recurring Basis

Fair values of the Company’s investment securities available for sale are measured on a recurring basis.  Such fair value measurements are primarily based on information from a third-party pricing service.  This pricing service provides information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data from market research publications.

The following table presents the balance of assets measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  As of those dates, the Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a recurring basis.

Nonrecurring Basis

In the table below, the Company has segregated all financial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  These financial assets have been assigned to the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine their fair value at the measurement dates.  As of such measurement dates, the Company did not record any financial liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a non-recurring basis.
 
 
 

 
The fair value of impaired loans is measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans.   Impaired loans are Level 2 assets measured using recent appraisals from external parties of the collateral less any prior liens.  Repossessed assets are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell.  The fair value of repossessed assets is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties available.  As such, the Company records repossessed assets as Level 2.

Note J. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to September 30, 2011, for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements included in this quarterly report.  The Company has concluded that no significant events occurred after September 30, 2011, but prior to the issuance of these financial statements that would have a material impact on its financial statements.



 

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

This discussion is intended to present a review of the major factors affecting the financial condition of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Britton & Koontz Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), as of September 30, 2011, as compared to the Company’s financial condition as of December 31, 2010, and the results of operations of the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2010.

Summary

The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011, of $721 thousand, or ($.34) per diluted share, compared to net income of $681 thousand, or $.32 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, net income and diluted earnings per share were $84 thousand and $0.04, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $0.58, respectively, for the same period in 2010.  The loss for the three month comparative period is due primarily to a loan loss provision expense of approximately $3.4 million, partially offset by an increase in gains on the sale of investment securities in the amount of $1.3 million. Reduced earnings for the nine month comparative period is due to the aforementioned $3.4 million provision expense and lower net interest income of $1.1 million offset by $2.2 million in year-to-date gains on the sale of investment securities.

Total assets were $371.3 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $4.1 million from December 31, 2010, due primarily to lower investment securities and loan balances offset by increases in reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank.  Loan balances continued to decline throughout the year as loan demand was down in all Company markets. Activity in the investment securities portfolio in the 3rd quarter of 2011 includes sales of approximately $36 million, purchases of approximately $42 million and cash pay-downs of just under $40 million.  Additional cash payments from the investment and loan portfolio along with the increase in deposits were used to pay down overnight borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank and to accumulate liquid assets in the form of cash at the Federal Reserve Bank.  Changes in major balance sheet lines from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 include the following: cash and due from banks increased $50 million to $56.0 million; investment securities decreased $29.9 million to $109.0 million; loans decreased $20.2 million to $196.5 million; total deposits increased $8.7 million to $267.2 million; and borrowings decreased $10 million to $58.8 million.  Total stockholders’ equity declined $1.5 million to $38.4 million.
 
 
Overall asset quality continues to deteriorate through September 30, 2011.  Non-performing assets, which include non-accrual loans, loans delinquent 90 days or more, troubled debt restructurings and other real estate, increased to $16.2 million, or 4.35% of total assets, at September 30, 2011, from $11.3 million, or 3.01% of total assets, at December 31, 2010.  The increase in non-performing assets since December 31, 2010 is primarily the result of the Company’s transfer of one multi-family residential real estate credit in the amount of $4.2 million to non-accrual in the 3rd quarter.  In connection with the transfer of this credit to non-accrual status, the Company ordered a new appraisal and will adjust the specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses with respect to this credit in light of this new appraisal.  Net loan charge-offs of $1.0 million, or .51% of average loans, through the nine months ended September 30, 2011, decreased from $2.6 million, or 1.18% of average loans, during the same period in 2010.  However, in spite of the improved charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011, increased to $6.1 million, or 3.17% of total loans, from $2.4 million, or 1.15% of total loans, at December 31, 2010.  The increase in the allowance reflects the growing non-performing assets as well as continued deterioration in asset quality, particularly in the Company’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana market.
 
 
Financial Condition
 
Loans

Total loans decreased $20.2 million to $196.4 million at September 30, 2011, from $216.6 million at December 31, 2010.  The decrease in loans is due to lower commercial real estate activity and decreases in loans held for sale at September 30, 2011.  The depressed economic conditions affecting the United States generally have weakened demand in all Company markets.  Additionally, the decision to sell loans in the secondary market tends to slow the growth of residential portfolio loans.  Further declines are expected to occur in the Company’s commercial and residential real estate portfolio through the remainder of 2011.  As expansion of the Company’s mortgage operation has progressed, originations of 1-4 family residential mortgages increased to $32.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to $28.9 for the same period in 2010.

The Company’s loan portfolio at September 30, 2011, had no significant concentrations of loans other than in the categories presented in the table above.

Investment Securities

The Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2011, consisted of mortgage-backed, agency and municipal securities.  Investment securities that are classified as held-to-maturity (“HTM”) are accounted for by the amortized cost method while securities in the available-for-sale (“AFS”) category are accounted for at fair value.  Changes in value of the AFS securities are recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet in “accumulated other comprehensive income.”
 
 
Management determines the classification of its securities at acquisition.  Total HTM and AFS investment securities decreased $29.7 million to $107.4 million at September 30, 2011, from $137.1 million at December 31, 2010.  Excluding investment purchases, sales and calls from agency and municipal securities, the decrease is due primarily to normal cash flow of approximately $15 million on the existing portfolio.  Equity securities declined during this period by $199 thousand to $1.6 million.   At September 30, 2011, equity securities were comprised primarily of Federal Reserve Bank stock of $522 thousand, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock of $812 thousand, ECD Investments, LLC membership interests of $100 thousand and the Company’s $155 thousand investment in B&K Statutory Trust.

Bank Premises

There have been no material changes in the Company’s premises since December 31, 2010.

Asset Quality

Management continually monitors the diversification of the loan portfolio and assesses loan quality.  When the assessment of an individual loan relationship indicates that the borrower has a defined weakness in the ability to repay and collection of all outstanding principal and/or interest is in doubt, the debt is placed on non-accrual.  By placing loans on non-accrual the Company recognizes a problem credit, foregoes interest that is likely uncollectible, and adjusts the carried loan balance to reflect the collection amount expected.  When problem credits are transferred to non-accrual status, the accrual of interest income is discontinued, and all previously accrued and uncollected interest for the year is reversed against interest income.  A non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual status when it is no longer delinquent and management no longer doubts the collectability of interest and principal.
 
 
 
 
Several key measures are used to evaluate and monitor the Company’s asset quality.  These measures include the levels and percentages of total nonperforming assets, loan delinquencies, non-accrual loans, foreclosed assets and charge-offs.  Nonperforming assets increased $4.9 million to $16.2 million at September 30, 2011, from $11.3 million at December 31, 2010.  At September 30, 2011, the Company’s nonperforming assets consisted of non-accrual loans of $11.7 million, other real estate of $3.5 million, accruing loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDR’s”) of $712 thousand and loans 90 days or more delinquent of $220 thousand.  As noted earlier, the increase in non-performing assets since December 31, 2010, is primarily the result of the Company’s transfer of one multi-family residential real estate credit in the amount of $4.2 million to non-accrual in the 3rd quarter.  Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans, net of unearned income and loans held-for-sale (“LHFS”), increased to 6.60% at September 30, 2011, compared to 3.80% at December 31, 2010.  Net loan charge-offs decreased to $1.0 million, or .51% of average loans, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $2.6 million, or 1.18% of average loans, during the same period in 2010.

A breakdown of nonperforming assets at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, is shown below.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses.  The balance of the loans determined to be impaired under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 310, “Receivables,” and the related allowance are included in management’s estimation and analysis of the allowance for loan losses. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance is sensitive to a variety of internal factors, primarily historical loss ratios and assigned risk ratings, and external factors, primarily the economic environment. Additionally, the estimate of the allowance required to absorb credit losses in the entire portfolio may change due to shifts in the mix and level of loan balances outstanding and in prevailing economic conditions, as evidenced by changes in real estate demand and values, interest rates, unemployment rates and energy costs. While no one factor is dominant, each could cause actual loan losses to differ materially from originally estimated amounts.
 
For portfolio balances of consumer, consumer mortgage and certain other similar loan types, allowance factors are determined based on historical loss ratios by portfolio and may be adjusted by other qualitative criteria. For larger commercial and commercial real estate secured loans, risk-rating grades are assigned by lending, credit administration or loan review personnel, based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes underlying each loan. The allowance factors are established based on historical loss ratios experienced by the Company for these loan types, as well as the credit quality criteria underlying each grade, adjusted for trends and expectations about losses inherent in our existing portfolios. In making these adjustments to the allowance factors, management takes into consideration factors which it believes are causing, or are likely in the future to cause, losses within our loan portfolio but which may not be fully reflected in our historical loss ratios.
 
 
 
 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for problem loans primarily of $50,000 or greater by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  For real estate collateral, the fair market value of the collateral is based upon a recent appraisal by a qualified and licensed appraiser of the underlying collateral.  Included in impaired loans are loans that management has deemed TDR’s.

Based upon this evaluation, management believes the allowance for loan losses of $6.1 million at September 30, 2011, which represents 3.17% of gross loans less unearned interest and LHFS, is adequate, under prevailing economic conditions, to absorb probable losses on existing loans.  At December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan loss was $2.4 million, or 1.15% of gross loans less unearned interest and LHFS.  The allowance at September 30, 2011 includes a specific allocation of approximately $4.2 million on total impaired loans of $12.5 million.

The process by which management determines the appropriate level of the allowance, and the corresponding provision for probable credit losses, involves considerable judgment; therefore, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from current estimates.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of the risk of loss in the loan portfolio in light of current risk management strategies, economic conditions and market trends.  The Company increased the provision to $3.4 million for the 3rd quarter of 2011 compared to $150 thousand during the 3rd quarter of 2010.  The Company transferred a multi-family residential real estate loan in the amount of $4.2 million to non-accrual in the 3rd quarter that it had recognized as substandard in the 2nd quarter of 2011.  The increased provision is primarily attributed to estimated exposure on this credit, reassessment of a previously impaired loan, and adjustment to historical loss and qualitative factors in the general reserve calculation.  Recent independent appraisals reflect a significant downward trend in real estate valuations, which is consistent with the general negative economic environment.  Lower collateral values from external appraisal opinions have thus significantly influenced the additional provisioning to the allowance account.  The Company regularly reviews the allowance account in an effort to maintain it at an adequate level and collects necessary data to make a proper provision expense to earnings.  However, factors may come to light during the remainder of the year that may influence management to change its expected provision.  The following table details the allowance activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Potential Problem Loans

At September 30, 2011, the Company had no loans, other than those balances incorporated in the above tables and summary discussion, which management had significant doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with current repayment terms.

Deposits
 
 
Total deposits increased $8.7 million from $258.5 million at December 31, 2010, to $267.2 million at September 30, 2011.  The increase is due primarily to higher non-interest bearing demand deposits, the Company’s rewards checking and local school deposits.

The composition of the Company’s deposits is described in the following table.

Borrowings

Total Company borrowings, including FHLB advances, federal funds purchased, customer and structured repurchase agreements and junior subordinated debentures, decreased $10.0 million to $58.8 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $68.8 million at December 31, 2010.  The decrease in borrowed funds is due primarily to the normal cash pay-downs from the investment portfolio being used to pay overnight borrowings.  The Company includes in these borrowings balances that the Company has pursuant to agreements with local depositors to sweep overnight funds from their commercial deposit accounts.  Because of the nature of the agreements, these sweep accounts are included as borrowings rather than local customer deposits; these amounts are classified as repurchase agreements and included under the “Securities sold under repurchase agreements” line item on the Company’s balance sheet.  Management believes these accounts perform more like a core deposit rather than a bank obligation.

Capital

Stockholders' equity of $38.4 million declined during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $39.9 million at December 31, 2010.  Lower earnings of $84 thousand during 2011, compared to $1.2 million during 2010, did not offset a $1.2 million dividend distribution and a $521 thousand change in other comprehensive income.

The Company and Bank maintained a total capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 19.75% and 18.75%, respectively, a Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 18.48% and 17.48%, respectively, and a leverage ratio of 11.10% and 10.54%, respectively, at September 30, 2011.  These levels substantially exceed the minimum requirements of bank regulatory agencies for well-capitalized institutions of 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively.  Components of comprehensive income are excluded from the calculation of the above capital ratios.  The ratio of shareholders' equity to assets decreased to 10.3% at September 30, 2011, compared to 10.6% at December 31, 2010, due to the decrease in retained earnings and other comprehensive income being proportionately greater than the decrease in total assets.

As announced previously, in the 3rd quarter of 2011 the Board of Directors suspended the Company’s quarterly cash dividend for the foreseeable future to fortify the Company’s capital position.  Management expects the Board of Directors to consider the resumption of dividends upon strengthening of the Bank’s loan portfolio and a corresponding improvement of re-investment opportunities of cash flows from both the loan portfolio and the Company’s securities investment portfolio.
 
 

 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes in the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements during the three months ended September 30, 2011.  See Note B and Note G to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for a description of the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

One of the largest components of the Company’s earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest paid for deposits and borrowed funds.  The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.

Net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, decreased $412 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively, over the same periods in 2010.  The decline for both periods is primarily due to a shift in the mix of earning assets to lower yielding assets coupled with a loss of interest on specific non-accrual loans of approximately $225 thousand.  The continued lower interest rate environment during 2011 provided limited reinvestment opportunity of cash flows back into the investment market and contributed to the $50.3 million increase in cash reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank at September 30, 2011, as compared to the balance at September 30, 2010.   Interest rate spread and margin declined during both comparative periods as the yield on earning assets declined at a greater pace than costs of interest-bearing liabilities.  Interest rate spread declined 41 and 35 basis points to 2.81% and 2.92% for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  Interest rate margin declined 48 and 40 basis points to 3.12% and 3.25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Non-Interest Income/ Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest income increased $1.1 million for the 3rd quarter of 2011 compared to the 3rd quarter of 2010 primarily due to the sale of investment securities.  The Company sold approximately $16 million of investment securities in the 3rd quarter of 2011, recording a gain of $1.3 million.  The 3rd quarter of 2010 included $139 thousand on gains from the sales of other real estate compared to no gains on sales of other real estate in 2011.  Non-interest income increased to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $3.3 million during the same period in 2010.  The increase in non-interest income for the nine-month comparison period is primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in gains on sales of investment securities in 2011 compared to the same period in 2010; gains on sales of other real estate during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $606 thousand higher than gains on sales of other real estate during the same period in 2011.  Non-interest expense decreased $426 thousand for the 3rd quarter of 2011 compared to the 3rd quarter of 2010, while the decline was $870 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.  Decreases in personnel costs and FDIC assessment expense as well as a lower reserve for loan and late fees receivable associated with the loan portfolio contributed to the decline in non-interest expense for both the three and nine month periods.  The loan and late fees receivable consists of fees charged for late loan payments as well as attorney, appraisal and other fees paid by the Bank which it expects the borrower to reimburse.  A reserve is established for these loan fees to assist the Bank in tracking the payment of this receivable and to cover the possibility that a borrower may fail to reimburse the Bank in full for these amounts.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense/(benefit) of ($551) thousand and $172 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  Income tax expense/(benefit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was ($490) thousand compared to $61 thousand for the same period in 2010.  The tax credit arose primarily due to the tax effects resulting from the loan provision expense in the 3rd quarter of 2011 offset by the gains on the sales of investment securities through the year 2011.
 

 


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company utilizes a funds management process to assist management in maintaining net interest income during times of rising or falling interest rates and in maintaining sufficient liquidity.  Principal sources of liquidity for the Company are asset cash flows, customer deposits and the ability to borrow against investment securities and loans.  Secondary sources of liquidity include the sale of investment and loan assets.   All components of liquidity are reviewed and analyzed on a monthly basis.

The Company has established a liquidity contingency plan to guide the Bank in the event of a liquidity crisis.  The plan describes the normal operating environment, prioritizes funding options and outlines management responsibilities and board notification procedures.  As more emphasis has been directed to liquidity needs, the Company has enhanced its contingency plan to include stress levels, heightened reporting and monitoring along with testing to better understand and report its liquidity position and needs.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased $50.2 million to $56.0 million at September 30, 2011, from $5.8 million at December 31, 2010.  Cash provided by operating and investing activities was $4.1 million and $48.6 million, respectively, while financing activities used $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had unsecured federal funds lines with correspondent banks of $36 million.  The Company maintains the ability to draw on its available line of credit with the FHLB in the amount of approximately $60 million.  In addition to these lines of credit, the Bank had approximately $63 million in liquid assets including unencumbered investment securities available for collateralized borrowing of $16 million, and cash available at the Federal Reserve Bank of $47 million.   Enhancing these liquidity levels, the Company has the ability to add $44 million from the brokered CD market.  Management believes that overall liquidity measures, as outlined above, indicate that the Company has adequate resources to fund foreseeable asset growth or to meet unanticipated deposit fluctuations or other immediate cash needs.

Certain restrictions exist on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends and loans.  These restrictions are described in detail in Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” and incorporated by reference herein.  These restrictions have not had, and are not expected in the future to have, a material impact on the Company’s ability to meet its anticipated cash obligations.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report includes “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.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions (some of which may prove to be incorrect) and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations.  Forward-looking statements have been and will be made in written documents and oral presentations of the Company.  Such statements are based on management’s beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management.  When used in the Company’s documents (including this Report) or oral presentations, the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements include, among others, increased competition, regulatory factors, economic conditions, changing market conditions, availability or cost of capital, employee workforce factors, costs and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings, and changes in federal, state or local legislative requirements.  The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in actual results, changes in assumptions or other factors affecting such statements.

Item 3.               Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 

No disclosure is required hereunder as the Company is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Item 10(f) (1) of Regulation S-K.
 
 

 
Item 4.               Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2011.  Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for ensuring that information that the Company is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.               Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is substantially dependent on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances.  Federal law imposes limitations on the payment of dividends by national banks.  Under federal law, the directors of a national bank, after making proper deduction for all expenses and other deductions required by the Comptroller of the Currency, may credit net profits to the bank’s undivided profits account and may declare a dividend from that account of so much of the net profits as they judge expedient.  The Comptroller and the Federal Reserve Board have each indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings.  The Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company is also limited by prudence, statutory and regulatory guidelines and a variety of other factors.

Certain restrictions also exist on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of loans.  Federal Reserve regulations limit the amount the Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations.  At September 30, 2011, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Company in the form of loans on a secured basis was $2.1 million.  There were no loans outstanding from the Bank to the Company at September 30, 2011.

As discussed under the heading “Capital” in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, above, in the 3rd quarter of 2011 the Board of Directors suspended the Company’s quarterly cash dividend.
