COMMUNITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011

NOTE 1. - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community Financial Corporation ("Community" or the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Bank (the "Bank").  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2012.

The Company made application to the Treasury Department to participate in the TARP program and received an investment by the Treasury Department of $12,643,000 in the form of preferred stock during the year ended March 31, 2009.  The Company also issued to the U.S. Treasury a warrant to purchase 351,194 shares of common stock at $5.40 per share.

On July 21, 2010, the President signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act. The Dodd-Frank Act imposed new restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions, including depository institutions. In addition, the new law changed the jurisdictions of existing bank regulatory agencies and in particular transfers the regulation of federal savings associations from the Office of Thrift Supervision to the Office of Comptroller of the Currency, effective July 21, 2011. At the same time, responsibility for regulation of savings and loan holding companies was transferred to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve).


NOTE 2. - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
 
The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant.
 
There were no stock options granted and no stock-based compensation expense was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE 3. - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share shows the dilutive effect of additional common shares issuable under stock option plans and warrants. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders  by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding. Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed in the following table.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, 255,900 stock options and 351,194 warrants were excluded in the calculation of earnings per share because they would have been anti-dilutive. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, 296,700 stock options and 351,194 warrants were excluded in the calculation of earnings per share because they would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company’s primary source of funds for the payment of dividends to its stockholders is dividends from the Bank. Capital distributions by OCC-regulated savings banks, such as the Bank, are limited by regulation ("Capital Distribution Regulation").  Capital distributions are defined to include, in part, dividends, stock repurchases and cash-out mergers.  The Capital Distribution Regulation permits a savings bank to make capital distributions during a calendar year equal to net income for the current year plus the previous two years net income, less capital distributions paid over the same period. Any distributions in excess of that amount require prior OCC approval. The Capital Distribution Regulation requires that savings banks in holding company structures provide the applicable OCC Regional Director with a 30-day advance written notice of all proposed capital distributions whether or not advance approval is required by the regulation. The OCC may object to capital distributions if the bank is not meeting its regulatory capital requirements, the distribution raises safety and soundness concerns or is otherwise in violation of law. Issuance of preferred stock under the TARP Capital Purchase Plan restricted the Company from paying dividends to stockholders without approval from the OCC and U.S Treasury. This restriction expired on December 31, 2011.

NOTE 5. - SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

NOTE 8. – SECURITIES

Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.  Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) whether the Company intends to sell the investments or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

United States government and agency obligations.  The unrealized gain or loss on the investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies was caused by interest rate increases or decreases.  The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investment.  Because the Company does not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011.  No securities were in a loss position at December 31, 2011.

The Company's investment in FHLB stock totaled $5,206,300 at December 31, 2011.   FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and as a restricted security, which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock, other than the FHLBs or member institutions.  Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. We do not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011 and no impairment has been recognized.  FHLB stock is shown in restricted investments on the balance sheet and is not part of the AFS securities portfolio.
 
NOTE 9. - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

· Level 1
Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
   
· Level 2
Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
   
· Level 3
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Securities

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  Currently, all of the Company’s securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

Impaired loans

Generally accepted accounting principles apply to loans measured for impairment using  practical expedients, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. The fair value of a Level 2 collateral dependent loan is generally determined by a recent appraisal in the last twelve months.  The fair value of a Level 3 collateral dependent loan is determined by reference to an appraisal older than twelve months in addition to cash flow analysis and/or other market evaluations.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period.

The Company uses real estate appraisals to value impaired loans and future cash flows or other appropriate methods to determine fair value. Real estate appraisals used to determine fair value for impaired loans secured by real estate as of December 31, 2011 had been obtained on Level 2 loans within the last twelve months and Level 3 loans within the last nineteen months. With the use of these methods, we provide valuation allowances for anticipated losses when management determines that a decline in the value of the collateral or expected cash flows has occurred. The Company does not generally believe obtaining real estate appraisals as frequently as quarterly is of significant value

in determining fair value. The delay between ordering and receiving an appraisal and our historical experience that real estate values do not generally fluctuate significantly quarter to quarter are factors influencing this decision. Updated appraisals are obtained periodically and in those instances where management has reason to believe a material change may have occurred in the fair value of the collateral. Evaluation of impairment requires judgment and estimates, and management uses all relevant and timely information available to determine specific reserves on impaired loans, including appraisals and cash flow analysis. Loans are partially or completely charged off in the period when they are deemed uncollectible in accordance with ASC 310-35.

Other real estate owned

Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at the lesser of cost or fair value less cost to sell.  The fair value of Level 2 collateral dependent real estate is generally determined by a recent appraisal in the last twelve months.  The fair value of Level 3 collateral dependent real estate is determined by reference to an appraisal older than twelve months in addition to cash flow analysis and/or other market evaluations.

The accounting standard excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its 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 were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Cash and cash equivalents

For those short-term investments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities

Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock, are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.  The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank and is therefore not included in the following table.  The Company’s investment in Federal Home loan Bank stock totaled $5.2 million at December 31, 2011. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long term investment and as a restricted investment security which is carried at cost.

Loans receivable

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to four-family residential), credit card loans, and
 
 
 
13
 
 
 
 
other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Deposit liabilities

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

Borrowings

For advances that mature within one year of the balance sheet date, carrying value is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.  The fair values of all other advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of advances.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as short-term borrowings and the carrying value approximates fair value.

Accrued interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Off-balance sheet instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of standby letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit were deemed immaterial.

Changes in the collectively evaluated for impairment loan categories for the March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2011 periods are related primarily to the Bank’s charge-off experience for the respective prior twelve month periods. There has not been a change in the Bank’s methodology in determining the allowance for loan losses.

In accordance with ASC 310, Receivables, 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 or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment unless the Company believes an individual impairment analysis is warranted.

The Company uses real estate appraisals to value impaired loans and future cash flows or other appropriate methods to determine fair value. With the use of these methods, we provide valuation allowances for anticipated losses when management determines that a decline in the value of the collateral or expected cash flows has occurred.

Regarding the fair value disclosures specifically included in the December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 disclosures, all impaired loans were included in Levels 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on our methodology described above and in the relevant filings. The loans were disclosed in the fair value measurements disclosure net of the related specific impairments.

The Company uses the following rating system for evaluating the risks associated with loans:

Pass
A Pass loan’s primary source of repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.
Special Mention
A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date.  Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard
A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful
A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss
A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following information is intended to provide investors a better understanding of the financial position and the operating results of Community Financial Corporation. The following is primarily from management’s perspective and may not contain all information that is of importance to the reader. Accordingly, the information should be considered in the context of the consolidated financial statements and other related information contained herein.

Net income (loss) for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased $548,000 to $(521,000) compared to $27,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  Net income (loss) for the quarter decreased primarily due to a provision for loan loss increase of $1.3 million, or 71.6%, partially offset by an increase of $356,000, or 6.7% in net interest income resulting primarily from a decrease in interest expense. The increased provision for the period was primarily related to higher charge-offs and management’s analysis of the Bank’s loan portfolio and the enhanced methodology.

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 increased $356,000, or 6.7%, to $5.7 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, which are primarily deposits and borrowings. The primary factor contributing to the increase in net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Management will continue to monitor balance sheet to manage the level of regulatory capital and liquidity requirements. We continue to monitor the impact changing interest rates may have on both our interest-earning assets and our interest rate spread. The Bank has approximately $347.1 million in adjustable rate loans, or 76.8% of total loans, which reprice in five years or less, many of which are subject to annual and lifetime interest rate limits. The pace and extent of future interest rate changes will impact the Company’s interest rate spread as will limitations on interest rate adjustments on certain adjustable rate loans.

Our continued emphasis on acquiring interest and non-interest bearing transaction accounts, combined with a falling interest rate environment, has impacted the composition of our interest-bearing liabilities. Deposits were down approximately $16.0 million, or 4.2%, at December 31, 2011 from March 31, 2011, due to decreases in time deposits, partially offset by increases in interest bearing transaction accounts.  Management plans to remain competitive in our deposit pricing. Due to relative pricing advantages, we have utilized brokered deposits and borrowings during the December 31, 2011 quarter. During the December 31, 2011 quarter, we experienced continuing competition for time deposits. Management is cognizant of the potential for compression in the Bank’s margin related to the need to acquire funds and the pace of interest rate changes. Management will continue to monitor the level of deposits and borrowings in relation to the current interest rate environment.
 
The Bank’s loan portfolio decreased $28.4 million from March 31, 2011 to December 31, 2011.  This decrease was primarily in residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and consumer loans.  We expect any future loan growth to be slow or moderate due to a slower economy and underwriting changes to limit funding of speculative construction loans.  We have experienced reduced construction activity in our market areas and existing commercial real estate activity continues to be weak.  At December 31, 2011, our assets totaled $509.5 million, including net loans receivable of $449.9 million, compared to total assets of $530.1 million, including net loans receivable of $478.3 million, at March 31, 2011.  Commercial real estate loans were $175.7 million or 38.3%, residential real estate loans were $183.3 million or 40.0%, construction loans totaled $17.4 million or 3.8%, and
 
 
 
23
 
 
 
 
commercial business loans were $47.9 million or 10.4% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2011 compared to commercial real estate loans of $181.8 million or 37.5%, residential real estate loans of $195.1 million or 40.1%, construction loans of $20.7 million or 4.3%, and commercial business loans of $49.1 million or 10.1% at March 31, 2011.
 
At December 31, 2011, non-performing assets totaled $20.8 million or 4.09% of assets compared to $16.6 million or 3.12% of assets at March 31, 2011. Our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 124.04% and to total loans was 2.2% at December 31, 2011 compared to 127.04% and 1.6%, respectively, at March 31, 2011 due primarily to increased general allowances.  The increase in nonperforming assets consisted of a $1.6 million increase in nonaccrual loans and $2.6 million in real estate owned and repossessed assets.  Due primarily to the slow economy, we recognize the possibility of an increase in non-performing assets in the future. Charge-offs of $3.2 million during the nine month period consisted primarily of $2.4 million of residential real estate loans, $565,000 of commercial real estate loans, $126,000 of commercial business loans and $138,000 of automobile loans.

Dramatic declines in the housing market, with decreasing home prices and increasing delinquencies and foreclosures, have negatively impacted the credit performance of mortgage and construction loans and resulted in significant write-downs of assets by many financial institutions.  We have experienced declines in real estate values in our market areas. General downward economic trends, reduced availability of commercial credit and continuing high unemployment have negatively impacted the performance of commercial and consumer credit, resulting in additional write-downs. While there have been increases in unemployment and announced layoffs by certain employers in our markets, there has not been a dramatic or widespread increase in unemployment to date.  Concerns over the stability of the financial markets and the economy have resulted in decreased lending by other financial institutions to their customers and to each other.  This market turmoil and tightening of credit has led to increased delinquencies relative to the historical norm, lack of customer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction in general business activity.

Our ability to assess the creditworthiness of customers and to estimate the losses inherent in our credit exposure is made more difficult and complex under these difficult market and economic conditions.  We may be required to pay higher FDIC premiums if financial institution failures continue to deplete the FDIC insurance fund and reduce the FDIC’s ratio of reserves to insured deposits.

We do not expect these difficult conditions to improve in the near future.  A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market and economic conditions on us, our customers and the other financial institutions in our market.  As a result, we may experience increases in foreclosures, delinquencies and customer bankruptcies, as well as more restricted access to funds.

Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that was enacted on July 21, 2010, provides, among other things, for new restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions and their holding companies, including the Company and the Bank.  Under the new law, the Bank’s primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, was eliminated and existing federal thrifts are subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of Comptroller of the Currency, which supervises and regulates all national banks. In addition all financial institution holding companies, including the Company, are now regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and this regulation will eventually include the application of federal capital requirements similar to those imposed on all commercial banks and may result in additional restrictions on investments and other holding company activities.  The law also created a new consumer financial protection bureau that has the authority to promulgate rules intended to protect consumers in the financial products and services market.  The creation of this independent bureau could result in new regulatory requirements and raise the cost of regulatory compliance. In addition, new regulations mandated by this Act could require changes in regulatory capital requirements, loan loss provisioning practices, and compensation practices
 
 
24
 
 
 
 
and will require holding companies to serve as a source of strength for their financial institution subsidiaries.  Effective July 21, 2011, financial institutions may pay interest on demand deposits, which could increase our future interest expense.  We cannot determine the impact of the new law on our business and operations at this time.  Any legislative or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
General
 
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that are inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on generally accepted accounting principles which require that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.
 
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to absorb future loan losses currently inherent in the loan portfolio.  Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon type and volume of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, existing and anticipated economic conditions, and other qualitative factors which deserve current recognition in estimating future loan losses.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Additions to the allowance are charged to operations.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  Loans are charged-off partially or wholly at the time management determines collectability is not probable.  Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is subject to evaluation and adjustment by the Company's regulators.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful or substandard.  For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers special mention and non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. During the December 31, 2011 quarter the Company evaluated and enhanced the relative value of the qualitative factors used in the determination of the unallocated component of the allowance due to the continuing weak economic conditions and increased level of non-performing assets.

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 or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  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
 
 
 
25
 
 
 
 
shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and 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.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets decreased $20.6 million to $509.5 million at December 31, 2011 from $530.1 million at March 31, 2011 due to decreases in loans receivable of $28.4 million, partially offset by increases in real estate owned of $2.6 million and investment securities of $6.2 million. As stated above, the decline in our loan portfolio was primarily in residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and consumer loans.  We expect any future loan growth to be slow or moderate due to a slower economy and underwriting changes to limit funding of speculative construction loans.  We have also experienced reduced construction activity in our market areas while existing commercial real estate activity continues to be weak.

Deposits decreased $16.0 million, or 4.2% to $363.1 million at December 31, 2011, from $379.1 million at March 31, 2011.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in time deposits of $30.4 million and savings accounts of $746,000, partially offset by increases in non-interest bearing accounts of $108,000 and money market and interest checking accounts of $15.1 million. The decrease in deposits was related to the decrease in our assets and funding needs. The decrease in deposits was generally achieved by lowering the rates offered on our time deposit products. FHLB advances decreased $4.0 million and other borrowings decreased $1.5 million at December 31, 2011 from March 31, 2011.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $262,000 to $50.0 million at December 31, 2011, from $49.8 million at March 31, 2011, due to income for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 of $736,000, partially offset by cash dividend payments on our preferred stock.

At December 31, 2011, non-performing assets totaled $20.8 million or 4.09% of assets compared to $16.6 million or 3.12% of assets at March 31, 2011. Non-performing assets at December 31, 2011 were comprised of repossessed assets of $13.0 million and non accrual loans of $7.8 million.  Included in the total non-performing assets at December 31, 2011, was one single family nonaccrual property totaling $2.2 million.  At December 31, 2011, our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 124.04% and to total loans was 2.2% compared to 127.04% and 1.6%, respectively at March 31, 2011. Our allowance for loan losses increased $1.8 million at December 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2011 due to increased unallocated allowances offset by decreased loan balances.  Charged off loans during the December 31, 2011 quarter included loans on which specific reserves had been established at March 31, 2011. Based on current market values of the properties securing our loans, management anticipates no significant losses in excess of the allowance for losses previously recorded.  Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to allowances may be necessary, and net income could be significantly affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. We also had $21.2 million of loans that were classified as Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) at December 31, 2011, of which $2.5 million were included in nonaccrual loans. These loans have had their original terms modified to facilitate payment by the borrower. The loans have been classified as TDRs primarily due to a change to interest only payments and the maturity of these modified loans is primarily less than one year.
 
 
 
26
 
 

 

As of December 31, 2011, there were also $38.2 million in loans with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash flows of the security properties have caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing loan categories. These loans are comprised primarily of non-owner occupied commercial and residential real estate loans with an average balance of approximately $159,000.  The largest individual loan or lending relationship in this category has a balance of $3.2 million and is secured by a hotel. This loan is of concern due to cash flow issues. There are also seven additional loans with balances greater than $1.0 million. A loan 60 days delinquent is generally included in this category and monitored until it has been current for six months. Certain loans that are not delinquent may be included due to the nature of the loan’s purpose such as construction or where the loan exhibits other potential weaknesses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of funds are customer deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, amortization and prepayment of loans, and funds provided from operations. Management maintains investments in liquid assets based upon its assessment of (i) the need for funds, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) the yields available on short-term liquid assets, (iv) the liquidity of our loan portfolio and (v) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Management believes that the Bank will continue to have adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is provided. As of December 31, 2011, the Bank’s liquidity ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable savings and current borrowings) was 5.1% compared to 2.6% for the same quarter last year.
 
The Bank has a line of credit with the FHLB equal to 26% of the Bank’s assets, subject to the amount of collateral pledged. Under the terms of its collateral agreement with the FHLB, the Bank provides a blanket lien covering all of its residential first mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, multi-family loans and commercial loans. In addition, the Bank pledges as collateral its capital stock in and deposits with the FHLB. Based on the collateral pledged as of December 31, 2011, the total amount of borrowing available under the FHLB line of credit was approximately $129.1 million.  At December 31, 2011, principal obligations to the FHLB consisted of $93.0 million in fixed-rate short term borrowings and we had a $4.0 million letter of credit to the Treasurer of Virginia securing public deposits.
 
At December 31, 2011, we had commitments to purchase or originate $5.4 million of loans. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2011, totaled $146.5 million. Based on our historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. Management further believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to meet our foreseeable short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Due to the weak economy, the Bank has experienced reduced loan demand and anticipates a reduced liquidity need for loan funding. At December 31, 2011, we had brokered or internet time deposits of $11.8 million compared to $15.3 million at March 31, 2011.

The Bank’s regulatory capital is characterized as “well capitalized” due to the issuance of preferred stock under the U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program. The Company received $12,643,000 from the U.S. Treasury through the sale of 12,643 shares of preferred stock. The Company also issued to the U.S. Treasury a warrant to purchase 351,194 shares of common stock at $5.40 per share. The preferred shares pay a cumulative dividend of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% per year thereafter.  The preferred shares are redeemable at any time by the Company at 100% of the issue price, subject to the approval of the Company’s and the Bank’s federal regulators.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

General.  Net income (loss) for the three months ended December 31, 2011 decreased $548,000 to $(521,000) from $27,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Net interest income increased $356,000, the provision for loan losses increased $1.3 million, non-interest income decreased $163,000 and non-interest expense decreased $150,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  Return on equity for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was (4.14) % compared to .22% for the three month period ended December 31, 2010.  Return on assets was (.41) % for quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to .02% for the same period in the previous fiscal year.

Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $241,000, or 3.6% to $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, from $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, due to a decrease in the volume of our portfolio.  The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 5.48% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 5.41% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $597,000, or 42.7% to $802,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, from $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  Interest on deposits decreased $430,000 to $762,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 due to a decrease in the average rate paid and lower average deposit balances.  The average rate paid on deposits was .83% during the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 1.22% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease in the average rate paid on deposits was due primarily to market interest rate changes as well as a change in our deposit mix to more low cost transaction account deposits and fewer higher cost certificate accounts.  Interest expense on borrowed money decreased $167,000 to $40,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to $207,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  A decrease in the average rate paid on borrowings from 0.90% for the December 31, 2010 quarter to 0.17% for the December 31, 2011 quarter offset by a slight increase in the average balance of borrowings from $92.0 million to $93.3 million accounted for the decrease. The average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities was 0.70% during the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 1.16% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses increased $1.3 million, or 71.6%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, from $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of the increased level of charge-offs during the period and management’s analysis of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income decreased $163,000, or 14.9%, to $934,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, from $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Service charges, fees and commissions decreased $157,000, or 15.7%, due to a decrease in service charges and fees on loan accounts, secondary mortgage market fee income and service fees on transactional accounts.  The Bank has established relationships with other institutions where the Bank receives fees in return for completed customer mortgage loan applications for the institution’s approval and funding. We anticipate these relationships will continue to be a source of fee and service charge income for the Bank.  Other noninterest income decreased $6,000, or 6.0%, to $90,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to increases in third party relationship income that were not present in the 2010 period.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense decreased $150,000, or 3.3%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in noninterest expense for the current period resulted primarily from a $200,000, or 25.6% decrease in real estate owned and collection expense, partially offset by a $65,000, or 19.6%, increase in data processing expenses in the current fiscal quarter.
 
 
 
28
 
 

 
Taxes.  Income tax expense (benefit) decreased $379,000 to $(354,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2011, from $25,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The effective tax rate for the December 31, 2011 quarter was 40.1%.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

General.  Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 increased $246,000, or 50.3%, to $736,000 from $490,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.  Net income for the nine months increased due primarily to an increase in net interest income and decrease in the provision for loan losses and was partially offset by an increase in other noninterest expenses.  Return on equity for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was 1.92% compared to 1.3% for the nine month period ended December 31, 2010. Return on assets was .19% for nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared to .12% for the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Interest Income.  Total interest income decreased $800,000, or 3.8%, to $20.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, from $20.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 due to a decrease in average loan balances. The yield on loans and securities increased from 5.49% to 5.57% for the same periods.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $1.8 million, or 40.1%, to $2.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, from $4.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Interest on deposits decreased $1.3 million to $2.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, from $3.9 million for the same period last year due to a decrease in the average rate paid on deposit balances and a decrease in average deposit balances. The rate paid on deposits decreased from 1.33% for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 to .93% for the same period in the current fiscal year.  The decrease in the average rate paid on deposits was due primarily to market changes as well as a change in our deposit mix to more low cost transaction account deposits and less higher cost certificate accounts. Interest expense on borrowed money decreased $514,000 to $124,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 from $638,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to a decrease in the average rate on borrowing balances and to a lesser extent a decrease in the average outstanding balance on borrowings. The average balance of borrowings decreased from $99.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 to $95.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 as our funding needs declined.  The average rate paid on borrowings decreased from .86% for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 to .17% for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011.
 
Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses decreased $672,000, or 12.1%, to $4.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 from $5.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of the decreased level of charge-offs during the period, partially offset by an increase to the provision after management’s analysis of the Bank’s loan portfolio.  Charge-offs totaled $3.2 million during the nine month period ended December 31, 2011, compared to $5.7 million during the same period in 2010, and were related to residential real estate loans, commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans and repossessed vehicles.
 
Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income decreased $273,000, or 8.7%, to $2.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, from $3.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 due to a decrease in service charges and fees on loan accounts, a decrease in service charges and fees on transactional accounts and a decrease in secondary mortgage market fee income.  Other noninterest income increased $21,000, or 7.8%, to $288,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to increases in third party relationship income that were not present in the 2010 period.
 
 
 
29
 
 

 
Noninterest Expenses.  Noninterest expenses increased $1.1 million, or 8.0%, to $14.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $13.1 million for the same period last year.  The increase in noninterest expense resulted primarily from a $1.0 million, or 58.9% increase in real estate owned and collection costs and a $278,000, or 4.0% increase in compensation, partially offset by a $202,000 decrease in FDIC insurance premiums.  The increase in real estate owned and collections expense was related to holding and disposition costs and additional provisions on real estate owned properties.  The increase in compensation related expenses are generally merit increases.

Taxes.  Taxes increased to $350,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, from $244,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The effective tax rate decreased to 32.2% for the December 31, 2011 period from 33.3% for the same period ended December 31, 2010.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.”  The new disclosure guidance significantly expands the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into a company’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements.  The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period became effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010.  Specific disclosures regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance roll forward and modification disclosures, will be required for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.”  The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.”  The guidance requires pro forma disclosure for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period.  If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma information should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.  ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
 
30
 
 
 

The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule No. 33-9002, “Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting.”  The rule requires companies to submit financial statements in extensible business reporting language (XBRL) format with their SEC filings on a phased-in schedule.  Large accelerated filers and foreign large accelerated filers using U.S. GAAP were required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2010.  All remaining filers are required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2011.

In March 2011, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 114.  This SAB revises or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the codification of the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series.  This update is intended to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance issued as a part of the FASB’s Codification.  The principal changes involve revision or removal of accounting guidance references and other conforming changes to ensure consistency of referencing through the SAB Series.  The effective date for SAB 114 is March 28, 2011.   The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings.”  The amendments in this ASU temporarily delayed the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20 for public entities.  The delay was intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.”  The amendments in this ASU clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession to a debtor.  They also clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulty.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  Retrospective application to the beginning of the annual period of adoption for modifications occurring on or after the beginning of the annual adoption period is required.  As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered to be impaired.  For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The Company has adopted ASU 2011-02 and included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
 
31
 
 

 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) – Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.”  The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date.  Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.”  This ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how (not when) to measure fair value and what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements.  The ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP (Topic 820), with many of the amendments made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application.  Early application is not permitted.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.”  The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The single statement of comprehensive income should include the components of net income, a total for net income, the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income.  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 all the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income.  The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, or the calculation or reporting of earnings per share.  The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require transition disclosures.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2011, the SEC issued Final Rule No. 33-9250, “Technical Amendments to Commission Rules and Forms related to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.”  The SEC has adopted technical amendments to various rules and forms under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment Company Act of 1940.  These revisions were necessary to conform those rules and forms to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  The technical amendments include revision of certain rules in Regulation S-X, certain items in Regulation S-K, and various rules and forms prescribed under the Securities Act, Exchange Act and Investment Company Act.  The Release was effective as of August 12, 2011.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
32
 
 
 
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment.”  The amendments in this ASU permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors related to goodwill to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill test described in Topic 350.  The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent.  Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.”  This ASU requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet, and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-11 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.”  The amendments are being made to allow the Board time to redeliberate 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. While the Board is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before Update 2011-05.  All other requirements in Update 2011-05 are not affected by this Update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This document, including information incorporated by reference, contains, and future filings by Community Financial Corporation on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and future oral and written statements by Community Financial Corporation and its management may contain, forward-looking statements about Community Financial Corporation which we believe are within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements with respect to anticipated future operating and financial performance, including revenue creation, lending origination, operating efficiencies, loan sales, charge-offs and loan loss provisions, growth opportunities, interest rates, acquisition and divestiture opportunities, and synergies, efficiencies, cost savings and funding advantages. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and management's views and assumptions regarding future events. These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, Community Financial Corporation cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
 
 
 
33
 
 
 
 
Many of these forward-looking statements appear in this document in Management's Discussion and Analysis. Words such as may, could, should, would, believe, anticipate, estimate, expect, intend, plan and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. The important factors discussed below, as well as other factors discussed elsewhere in this document and factors identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and those presented elsewhere by our management from time to time, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this document. Among the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements are:
 
·  
the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct our operations; and general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in the credit quality of our loans and other assets and a reduction in the value of the collateral securing our loans;
 
·  
the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board;
 
·  
financial market, monetary and interest rate fluctuations, particularly the relative relationship of short-term interest rates to long-term interest rates;
 
·  
the accuracy of our estimates in evaluating our allowance for loan losses or determining the fair value of our securities;
 
·  
the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and charge-offs;
 
·  
fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas;
 
·  
results of examinations by the OCC or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to enter into a formal enforcement action or to increase our allowance for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings;
 
·  
our ability to attract and retain deposits;
 
·  
further increases in premiums for deposit insurance;
 
·  
our ability to control operating costs and expenses;
 
·  
the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of  Community Bank, and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors' products and services;
 
·  
the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, accounting standards, banking, securities and insurance) may adversely affect the business in which we are engaged;
 
·  
the impact of technological changes;
 
·  
changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and
 
·  
our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in market risk since our March 31, 2011 year end. Market risk is discussed as part of management’s discussion and analysis under asset/liability management in the Company’s annual report on form 10-K for March 31, 2011.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) as of December 31, 2011, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of December 31, 2011, were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In addition, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
