PATAPSCO BANCORP, INC.

 

 

Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is the holding company for The Patapsco Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is a Maryland commercial bank operating through five offices located in Dundalk, Parkville, Carney and Glen Arm, Maryland and serving eastern Baltimore County. The principal business of the Bank consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing these deposits in loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, construction loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans. The Bank derives its income principally from interest earned on loans and, to a lesser extent, interest earned on mortgage-backed securities and investment securities and noninterest income. Principally operating revenues, deposits and repayments of outstanding loans and investment securities and mortgage-backed securities provide funds for these activities.

Dear Shareholder,

 

The directors, officers and staff of Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. and The Patapsco Bank respectfully present this 2012 Annual Report to shareholders.

 

The loss incurred in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 resulted from the costs associated with non-performing assets, both loans and foreclosed real estate. These costs include lost interest income, legal fees, the write-down of principal and the costs of acquiring and maintaining foreclosed real estate. We have seen positive trends in the level and severity of these assets and are cautiously optimistic that the worst is behind us.

 

Recently the Board of Directors announced that the Company plans to de-register its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This will reduce the Company’s reporting obligations to the Federal Government and result in substantial cost savings. The stock will remain publically traded and financial information will be available on the Company’s website and the websites of the federal banking regulators.

 

The Board of Directors and management thank you for your continued support.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

 

 

 

General

 

The Company’s results of operations depend primarily on its level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities, and other investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and junior subordinated debentures. The net interest income earned on average interest-earning assets (“net interest margin”) and the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities have a significant impact on net interest income. The Company’s net interest margin is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan and deposit flows. The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis than its interest-bearing liabilities. To a lesser extent, the Company’s results of operations are also affected by the amount of its noninterest income, including loan fees and service charges, and levels of noninterest expense, which consists principally of compensation and employee benefits, insurance premiums, professional fees, equipment expense, occupancy costs, advertising, data processing and other operating expenses.

 

The Company’s operating results are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, in particular, changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions taken by regulatory authorities. Lending activities are influenced by general economic conditions, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, account maturities and the level of personal income and savings in the Company’s market area.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

When used in this Annual Report, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company’s market area, competition and the Risk Factors set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

 

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the industry in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are necessary when financial instruments are required to be recorded at fair value or when the decline in the value of an asset carried on the balance sheet at historic cost requires an impairment write-down or a valuation reserve to be established.

The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) represents an amount, that in the judgment of management, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on outstanding loans and leases that may become uncollectible. The allowance represents an estimate made based upon two principles of accounting: (1) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450, “Contingencies”, that requires losses to be accrued when their occurrence is probable and estimable, and (2) ASC Topic 310,”Receivables”, that requires losses be accrued when it is probable that the lender will not collect all principal and interest when due under the original terms of the loan. The adequacy of the allowance is determined through careful evaluation of the loan portfolio. This determination is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates, including estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of the current economic environment and other qualitative factors that may be subject to change. Loans and leases deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to it. The level of the allowance is adjusted through the provision for loan losses that is recorded as a current period expense.

 

The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes a specific allowance, a formula allowance and a nonspecific allowance. The specific allowance is for risk rated non-homogeneous credits on an individual basis. The formula allowance reflects historical losses by credit category. The nonspecific allowance captures losses whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the specific allowance or the formula allowance. The factors used in determining the nonspecific allowance include trends in delinquencies, trends in volumes and terms of loans, the size of loans relative to the allowance, concentration of credits, the quality of the risk identification system and credit administration and local and national economic trends.

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 310, the Company determines and recognizes impairment of certain loans. A loan is determined to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A loan is not considered impaired during a period of insignificant delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including past-due interest. The Company generally considers a period of insignificant delay in payment to include delinquency up to and including 90 days. ASC Topic 310 requires that impairment be measured through a comparison of the loan’s carrying amount to the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

ASC Topic 310 is generally applicable for all loans except large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are evaluated collectively for impairment, including residential first and second mortgage loans and consumer installment loans. Impaired loans are therefore generally comprised of commercial mortgage, real estate development, and commercial business loans. In addition, impaired loans are generally loans which management has placed in non-accrual status since loans are placed in non-accrual status on the earlier of the date that management determines that the collection of principal and/or interest is in doubt or the date that principal or interest is 90 days or more past due.

 

Management believes that the allowance is adequate. However, its determination requires significant judgment, and estimates of the probable losses in the loan and lease portfolio can vary significantly from losses that actually occur.

 

Real estate acquired through foreclosure and other repossessed assets are initially recorded at the estimated fair value, net of estimated selling costs, and subsequently at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined utilizing third party appraisals, broker price opinions or other similar methods. Fair value is updated at least annually and more often if circumstances dictate. Costs relating to holding such property are charged against income in the current period, while costs relating to improving such real estate are capitalized until a salable condition is reached.

Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are acquired as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, loan demand, changes in prepayment risk and other factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses based on the difference between amortized cost and fair value, reported net of deferred tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification method, are included as a separate component of non-interest income. Related interest and dividends are included in interest income.  Declines in the fair value of individual securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value through either a charge to earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income depending upon the nature of the loss. Management must assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery. These steps are done before assessing whether the entity will recover the cost basis of the investment. Other factors affecting the determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred include a downgrading of the security by a rating agency or a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further explanation. 

  

Deferred income taxes are reported for temporary differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes. Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in an institution’s income tax returns. Deferred tax assets are deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards. After the deferred tax asset has been measured using the applicable enacted tax rate and provisions of the enacted tax law, it is then necessary to assess the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is needed when, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As required by GAAP, available evidence is weighted heavily on cumulative losses with less weight placed on future projected profitability. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income of the appropriate character in the period during which deductible temporary differences reverse or within the carryback and carryforward periods available under tax law. Based upon the available evidence, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 million at June 30, 2012 and $2.2 million at June 30, 2011. The deferred tax asset balance was zero at June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Average Balance, Interest and Average Yields and Rates

 

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, derives such yields and costs for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances.

 

The table also presents information for the periods indicated with respect to the institution’s net interest margin, which is net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets. This is an important indicator of commercial bank profitability. The net interest margin is affected by yields on interest-earning assets, the costs of interest-bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Another indicator of an institution’s net interest income is the interest rate spread or the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2012 and 2011

 

General. Total assets decreased by $10.2 million or 3.9% to $254.4 million at June 30, 2012 from $264.6 million at June 30, 2011. The decline in assets was a function of the decline in loans receivable.

 

Loans Receivable. Gross loans receivable decreased by $9.8 million, or 5.2%, to $177.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $187.5 million at June 30, 2011. Growth in residential mortgage loans of $6.3 million, or 11.3%, was more than offset by decreases in commercial mortgages of $2.4 million, construction loans of $3.3 million, consumer loans of $2.9 million and commercial loans of $7.6 million. The overall decline in the loan portfolio also reflects lower loan demand during the year and a high level of early pay-offs.

Investment Securities. Total investment securities increased $1.3 million or 3.3% as the lower level of loan demand led to a higher level of securities purchases during the year. Collateralized mortgage obligations, all of which are issued by U.S. Government agencies, remained constant at $20.1 million and $20.2 million as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Mortgage-backed securities, which were also all issued by U.S. Government agencies, increased by $6.3 million, or 154.0% in the year ended June 30, 2012. Corporate bonds decreased by $363,000, or 12.3%, to $2.6 million at June 30, 2012. U.S. government agency securities decreased by $4.5 million, or 36.2%, to $8.0 million at June 30, 2012 from $12.5 million at June 30, 2011.

Deposits. Total deposits decreased by $5.9 million, or 2.5% to $225.4 million at June 30, 2012 from $231.3 million at June 30, 2011 as management lowered deposit rates more aggressively than the competition in order to reduce excess cash reserves. An increase in NOW checking of $2.5 million, savings accounts of $1.6 million and non-interest bearing checking accounts of $1.2 million was more than offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit of $6.7 million and money market accounts of $4.5 million. Our customers’ preference for more liquid deposit products in the face of declining rates caused the decline in certificates of deposit. The Bank did not have any brokered deposits at June 30, 2012 as compared to a balance of $120,000 at June 30, 2011.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

 

The Company recorded a net loss available to common shareholders of $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2012 compared to net loss of $3.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. The net loss available to common shareholders in the current year resulted from $3.3 million in credit costs as the provision for loan losses totaled $3.1 million, reflecting $3.6 million in net charge-offs, as well as $212,000 in costs associated with foreclosed real estate. In addition, provision for income tax was $210,000 for the year ended June 30, 2012 to expense a previously unrecorded tax expense from the prior year as compared to $1.7 million from the prior year as the Company fully reserved for deferred tax assets at June 30, 2011. Accordingly, the tax benefit on the current year’s net loss was offset by a similar reserve.

 

Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income decreased $221,000 from $8.45 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 to $8.23 million in the current year as the net interest margin which increased 2 basis points from 3.32% in the year ended June 30, 2011 to 3.34% in 2012 was more than offset by an average interest-earning asset decrease of $8.2 million or 3.2% to $246.1 million.

 

The increase in the net interest margin was primarily due to the cost of funds decreasing at a greater pace than the decrease in the yield on earning assets. The impact of the shift in asset mix from loans to investments was a primary driver of the declines in yields/rates on interest-earning assets. In addition, the decline in market interest rates also lowered the yield on earning assets and the cost of funds.

 

Interest Income. Total interest income decreased by $1.3 million or 10.5% to $11.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2012 compared to $12.7 million in the year ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was due to a 38 basis point decline in yield and a decrease in average interest-earning assets. The lower yield is primarily the result of the above mentioned shift in asset mix from loans to investments in addition to a decline in market interest rates. Average interest earning assets decreased by $8.2 million, or 3.2%, and was driven by a $12.0 million, or 6.1%, decrease in the average loan balances and $3.3 million decrease in cash equivalent investments offset slightly by an increase of $7.1 million, or 20.4%, in the average balance of the investment portfolio. Loan demand continued to be weak throughout 2012 and 2011, consistent with the economy’s muted recovery from the previous recession. Management’s decision to exit the lease origination business in October, 2008 also contributed to this decline in loan balances. The increase in investment securities is a function of lower loan demand.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $1.1 million from $4.2 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 to $3.1 million in the current year as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 40 basis points from 1.74% in 2011 to 1.34% in 2012. Total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $10.7 million or 4.4% from $242.1 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 to $231.4 million in the current year.

 

The decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was due to the decrease in market rates as maturing certificates of deposit were replaced with lower cost funds and money market deposit rates reset lower as competition for deposits continued to moderate during fiscal year 2012.

 

Deposits averaged $226.6 million in 2012, a $5.7 million, or 2.5%, decrease versus $232.3 million in 2011. Certificates of deposits declined $8.7 million on average, or 9.1%, as customers exhibited a preference for more liquid deposits. The average balance of money market deposits grew $1.2 million, or 1.3%. The average balance of savings products increased $1.3 million in fiscal year 2012 as compared to 2011.

 

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $178,000 to $682,000 in 2012 compared to $860,000 in 2011 as average balances were $4.4 million, or 23.0%, lower in 2012. The average rate paid on borrowings increased 13 basis points in 2012 as shorter-term borrowings matured leaving higher rate longer term borrowings. No new long-term borrowings were issued during the current year.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan losses. The method utilized for the determination of the allowance is described in “Critical Accounting Policies” above and in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The provision for loan losses was $3.1 million in fiscal year 2012, an increase of $383,000, or 14.1%, from the 2011 provision of $2.7 million. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s management determined that several impaired loans required higher specific reserves based on the most recent values of the collateral securitizing the loan. Further, management decided to charge off the specific reserves established on many impaired loans, which caused the historical loss ratios to increase thus increasing the calculation of required loan loss reserves since a key component of the calculation involves the historical loss ratio. The increase in the provision was due to a $1.5 million or 73%, increase in net charge-offs to $3.6 million in 2012 from $2.1 million in 2011. Of the $1.5 million increase in net charge-offs, commercial loans net charge-offs increased by $1.5 million and commercial real estate net charge-offs were $532,000 higher, which both reflect management’s aggressive actions to recognize the losses in the portfolio whereas the consumer loans had a decrease of $508,000. The Company’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.11% as of June 30, 2012 versus 2.25% at June 30, 2011. Patapsco Bancorp’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 42.23% at June 30, 2012 as compared to 42.17% at June 30, 2011. Setting the allowance at this level takes into consideration that 99% of non-performing loans are collateralized by real estate at June 30, 2012. In consideration of the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses, downward adjustments were made to values established by real estate appraisals, where warranted, taking into consideration the age of the appraisal and the nature of the collateral. These adjusted appraisal values, which required management’s judgment, were used to develop estimated losses and related specific loss reserves within the allowance for loan losses. The Company has concluded, after a thorough analysis of the nonperforming loan portfolio, watch list loans, delinquencies and other factors, that the allowance is adequate at June 30, 2012.

 

The Company has integrated the general portion of the allowance for loan losses into each individual loan category. Beyond the amounts allocated based on historical experience and risk rated loans requiring a specific reserve, the general portion of the allowance is intended to reflect uncertainty created by the local housing market and the recessionary economic environment. The general portion of the allowance has been developed based on the grading of qualitative factors of each segment of the loan portfolio. These factors are weighted to arrive at a severity factor that determines the level of the general allowance as a percentage of the allocated allowance. If circumstances differ materially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be affected. Because events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that increases to the allowance will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above.

___________________________

(1)Nonaccrual status denotes loans on which, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is unlikely. Payments received on a nonaccrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan.
(2)Other nonperforming assets represent property and equipment acquired by the Company through foreclosure or repossession.
(3)Troubled debt restructurings accounted for on a non-accrual basis total $2.9 million, $5.3 million, $4.3 million, $3.0 million, and $0 at June 30, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively and are included in total non-performing loans above and excluded here.

 

 

The following table reflects the activity in non-performing loans for the year ended June 30, 2012:

 

Balance June 30, 2011, in thousands  $9,946 
 Added to non-accrual during the year   8,743 
 Paid off/down   (3,262)
 Brought to accrual status   (1,036)
 Transferred to real estate acquired through foreclosure   (1,298)
 Charged-Off   (4,252)
 Net change in non-accrual Consumer & Residential Mortgages, and all other   20 
Balance June 30, 2012  $8,861 

 

At June 30, 2012, nonaccrual construction loans totaled $1.6 million and included a $1.0 million commercial land development loan, a $493,000 residential construction project and $109,000 residential land acquisition/development loan which was sold at foreclosure and awaiting settlement. Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans totaled $4.4 million and included the following: a $1.3 million strip shopping center loan, $1.2 million apartment building that was subsequently paid off in full in July 2012, a $646,000 warehouse building loan and $1.3 million in mixed use commercial mortgage loans. Nonaccrual commercial loans totaled $2.6 million and included a $1.2 million loan supporting a borrower’s various business interests including commercial properties and four other commercial loans totaling $1.4 million.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company did not restructure any loans. Restructured loans are subject to periodic credit reviews to determine the necessity and adequacy of a specific loan loss allowance based on the collectability of the recorded investment in the restructured loan.  

 

As of June 30, 2012, there was a $1.0 million commercial land development loan, two commercial loans with a carrying value totaling $1.1 million, two commercial real estate loans with a carrying value totaling $1.8 million and a $109,000 residential land acquisition/development loan which represented defaulted troubled debt restructures. Three forbearance agreements were negotiated during fiscal year 2009, two were negotiated during fiscal year 2010 and modified during fiscal year 2011, while three were negotiated in fiscal year 2011, prior to June 30, 2011.

There are forbearance agreements on all loans currently classified as troubled debt restructures. The terms of these forbearance agreements vary whereby principal payments have been decreased, interest rates have been reduced, and/or the loan will be repaid as collateral is sold.

 

In addition, the Company has modified other loans that were not considered troubled debt restructurings. In many cases, these restructurings involved adding a limited number of delinquent payments to the principal balance of the loan and either re-amortizing the loan or extending the term by a like number of payments with no change in the interest rate. In most cases these restructurings were caused by temporary events that have since passed and the restructuring has allowed the borrower to meet the monthly payment, whereas they would have had difficulty making up the delinquent payments without the modifications. These types of restructurings have increased moderately in the current year versus last year. The Company has had no loans restructured into multiple new loans.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2012 the amount of interest that would have been recorded on non-accrual and restructured loans at June 30, 2012 had the loans performed in accordance with their original terms was approximately $923,000. The amount of interest actually recorded during fiscal year 2012 was $555,000.

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company had no loans not classified as nonaccrual, 90 days past due or restructured where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and may subsequently result in disclosure as nonaccrual, 90 days past due or restructured.

 

Noninterest Income. The Company’s noninterest income generally consists of deposit fees, service charges, fees on the sale of annuities and investment products, and gains and losses on sales of securities and loans. Total non-interest income decreased by $103,000 or 11.6% to $786,000 during the year ended June 30, 2012 from $889,000 during the year ended June 30, 2011. Fees and service charges decreased by $51,000 or 7.7% to $609,000 during the current year from $660,000 in the previous year. During fiscal year 2012, security gains decreased $79,000 to $82,000 versus $161,000 in 2011. Other non-interest income increased by $3,000 to $93,000 in 2012 compared to $90,000 in 2011 due to non-recurring income items in the previous fiscal year.

 

Noninterest Expense. The Company’s total noninterest expense decreased $460,000, or 5.9%, to $7.3 million during fiscal 2012, as compared to $7.8 million in fiscal 2011. Compensation and benefit expense were $225,000, or 5.7%, lower in 2012 due to staff reductions and open positions. Federal deposit insurance assessments decreased by $151,000 due to lower rates that went into effect April 1, 2011 and the provision for losses on and costs associated with real estate acquired through foreclosure decreased by $148,000 as compared to the prior year due to decreased foreclosure activity and expense recovery upon disposition. Professional fees increased by $102,000, or 15.6%, to $755,000 from $653,000 due primarily to legal costs associated with collection activity.

 

Income Tax Provision. The Company had an income tax expense of $210,000 (or 14.8% of pre-tax loss) in fiscal year 2012, compared to a benefit of $496,000 (or 42.4% of pre-tax loss) in 2011. The $210,000 tax expense in the current year was due to a reduction of the tax receivable account on the Company’s books to agree to the actual tax returns filed for the Company. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. Based on the available evidence, we recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 million at June 30, 2012. The income tax benefit of $496,000 in combination with the deferred tax valuation allowance of $2.2 million represents the total income tax provision of $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. Subsequent to recording this valuation allowance the deferred tax asset balance was zero at June 30, 2012 and 2011. In future periods, any pre-tax losses will most likely have no related tax benefit. Furthermore, future pre-tax income will most likely not have any related tax expense until the valuation allowance is fully reversed. Refer to Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion.

 

Asset/Liability Management

 

The Company’s net income is largely dependent on the Bank’s net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by other sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits, other liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

 

17
 

 

 

The Company has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) that currently is comprised of four non-employee directors, the President, the Chief Financial Officer and the Executive Vice President of Lending and the Senior Vice Presidents of Operations. This Committee meets on a monthly basis and reviews the maturities of the Company’s assets and liabilities and establishes policies and strategies designed to regulate the Company’s flow of funds and to coordinate the sources, uses and pricing of such funds. The first priority in structuring and pricing the Company’s assets and liabilities is to maintain an acceptable net interest margin while reducing the net effects of changes in interest rates.

 

Management’s principal strategy in managing the Company’s interest rate risk has been to maintain short and intermediate-term assets in the portfolio, including locally originated adjustable-rate commercial real estate and commercial business loans. In addition, the Company has investment securities available for sale, carried at fair value, totaling $41.1 million as of June 30, 2012. The Company is holding these investment securities as available for sale because it may sell these securities prior to maturity should it need to do so for liquidity or asset and liability management purposes.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing the Company’s asset and liability management policies. The Asset/Liability Management Committee reports to the Board monthly on interest rate risk and trends, as well as, liquidity and capital ratios and requirements. The Company’s management is responsible for administering the policies of the Board of Directors with respect to the Company’s asset and liability goals and strategies.

 

The Bank’s interest rate sensitivity, as measured by the re-pricing of its interest sensitive assets and liabilities at June 30, 2012, is presented in the following table. The table was derived using assumptions which management believes to be reasonable.

 

18
 

 

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at June 30, 2012 that are expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown.

  

 

    Three     Over Three     Over One     Over Five     Over Ten     Over        
    Months     Through     Through     Through     Through     Twenty

Deposits     27,385       50,626       110,720       19,549       4,294       1,167       213,741  
Borrowings     -       5,000       9,000       -       -       -       14,000  
Total     27,385       55,626       119,720       19,549       4,294       1,167       227,741  
                                                         
Interest sensitivity gap   $ 44,339     $ (10,942 )   $ (45,556 )   $ 10,576     $ 13,953     $ 4,529     $ 16,899  
Cumulative interest sensitivity gap   $ 44,339     $ 33,397     $ (12,159 )   $ (1,583 )   $ 12,370     $ 16,899          
Ratio of cumulative gap to total assets     17.43 %     13.13 %     (4.78 )%     (0.62 )%     4.86 %     6.64 %        

   

The interest rate-sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities illustrated in the table above could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or actual experience differs from the assumptions used. If passbook and NOW accounts were assumed to mature in one year or less, the Company’s one-year positive gap would be negative.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the above table. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgages, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. The ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

 

The Company utilizes two additional measures of risk. These are quantitative measures of the percentage change in net interest income and equity capital resulting from a hypothetical change of plus or minus 200 basis points in market interest rates for maturities from one day to thirty years. As of June 30, 2012, the Bank had the following estimated sensitivity profile for net interest income and fair value of equity:

 

  + 200 basis points   -200 basis points  Policy Limit 
% Change in Net Interest Income      3.4% -7.8% + or - 10.0%
% Change in Fair Value of Equity         -14.4% n/a + or - 25.0%

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

An important component of the Company’s asset/liability structure is the level of liquidity available to meet the needs of customers and creditors. The Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee has established general guidelines for the maintenance of prudent levels of liquidity. The Committee continually monitors the amount and source of available liquidity, the time to acquire it and its cost.

 

The Company’s most liquid assets are cash on hand, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and Federal funds sold, which are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2012, the Company’s cash on hand and interest-bearing deposits totaled $28.8 million.

 

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination and unused lines-of-credit commitments of approximately $22.1 million at June 30, 2012. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year at June 30, 2012 totaled $39.0 million. Historically, a high percentage of maturing deposits have remained with the Company.

 

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings and proceeds from maturing investment securities and mortgage-backed securities and principal and interest payments on loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of mortgage-backed securities and loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and other factors.

 

The Company, as the holding company for the Bank, has an annual cash requirement of approximately $655,000 for the payment of preferred stock dividends and debt service on the subordinated debentures. The only source of internal funds for the holding company is dividends from the Bank. The amount of dividends that can be paid to the Company from the Bank is limited by the earnings of the Bank.

 

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly cash dividends on the $6.0 million in Series A Preferred Stock and $300,000 in Series B Preferred Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors took this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance. The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled dividends on the preferred stock; however, the Company believes this decision will better support the capital position of The Patapsco Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend interest payments on the trust preferred securities. The Company’s Board of Directors took this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance. The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled interest payments; however, the Company believes this decision will better support the capital position of The Patapsco Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

At June 30, 2012, the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements. The holding company ratios do not differ significantly from the Bank’s ratios. The table below presents certain information relating to the Bank’s regulatory capital compliance at June 30, 2012.

Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Items

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk including commitments to extend credit under both new facilities and under existing lines of credit. Commitments to fund loans typically expire after 60 days, commercial lines of credit are subject to annual reviews and home equity lines of credit are generally for a term of 20 years. These instruments contain, to varying degrees, credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition.

 

Off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit and interest rate risk are summarized as follows at June 30:

 

(In thousands)  2012    2011  
           
Commitments to originate new loans  $12,329   $8,645 
Undisbursed lines of credit   9,795    10,230 
Financial standby letters of credit   1,107    1,421 

 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented in this Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company’s operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Patapsco Bancorp, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Patapsco Bancorp, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1)Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is the holding company of The Patapsco Bank (Bank). Patapsco owns 100% of Prime Business Leasing, Inc. (Prime Leasing), PFSL Holding Corp. (PFSL) and Patapsco Financial Services, Inc. (Patapsco Financial). The primary business of the Bank is to attract deposits from individual and corporate customers and to originate residential and commercial mortgage loans, commercial loans and consumer loans, primarily in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial and mortgage institutions in attracting and retaining deposits and in making loans. The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain agencies of the federal government and undergoes periodic examination by those agencies. The primary business of Prime Leasing is the servicing of commercial finance leases. In October, 2008 management made a strategic decision to cease the origination of leases. The primary business of PFSL is to hold foreclosed real estate. The primary business of Patapsco Financial is the sale of consumer investment products.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank, Prime Leasing, PFSL, and Patapsco Financial. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of financial condition and income and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of real estate acquired through foreclosure, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

 

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses and considers available information in making the required estimates, additional provisions for losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in Baltimore and the State of Maryland. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review Patapsco's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require Patapsco to recognize changes to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

 

In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred from June 30, 2012 through the date these financial statements were issued.

 

Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Most of the Company’s activities are with customers in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan Area. Note 2 discusses the types of securities the Company invests in. Note 3 discusses the types of lending that the Company engages in. The Company’s largest lending relationship is $3.0 million.

 

The Company's residential lending operations are focused in the State of Maryland, primarily the Baltimore Metropolitan area. While residential lending is generally considered to involve less risk than other forms of lending, payment experience on these loans is dependent to some extent on economic and market conditions in the Company's primary lending area.

 

The Company has money market investments with one institution, the total of which exceeds the FDIC insurance limitations. This constitutes a concentration of credit risk.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include short-term investments, with an original maturity of 90 days or less, which consist of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions.

 

Securities

 

Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost. As the Company does not engage in securities trading, the balance of its debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of tax effects. All of the Company’s securities are classified as available for sale at June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” clarified the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. For debt securities, management must assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery. These steps are done before assessing whether the entity will recover the cost basis of the investment.

 

In instances when a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists but the investor does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security prior to its anticipated recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flow expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive loss.

 

For purposes of computing realized gains or losses on the sales of securities, cost is determined using the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized over the term of the security using the interest method.

 

Securities Required by Law

 

Securities required by law represent Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”) and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock (“FHLB”), which are considered restricted as to marketability. Management evaluates the Company’s restricted stock in the FHLB and FRB for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Accounting by Certain Entities (Including with Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the Activities of Others.” Management’s determination of whether this investment is impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB. The Company has concluded that the restricted stock investment is not impaired as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Loans Receivable

 

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. Consumer loans are generally charged off after they become more than 90 days past due. All other loans are charged off when management concludes that they are uncollectible.

PATAPSCO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company accounts for loans in accordance with ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” when due to a deterioration in a borrower’s financial position, the Company grants concessions that would not otherwise be considered. Interest income is recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting, provided they are performing in accordance with their restructured terms and are considered collectible.

 

Loan Fees

 

Loan origination fees are deferred and amortized to income over the contractual lives of the related loans using the interest method. Certain incremental direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the contractual lives of the related loans using the interest method as a reduction of the loan yield. Deferred fees and costs are combined where applicable and the net amount is amortized.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance represents an amount that, in the judgment of management, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on outstanding loans and leases that may become uncollectible. The allowance represents an estimate made based upon two principles of accounting: (1) ASC Topic 450 “Contingencies”, that requires losses to be accrued when their occurrence is probable and estimable, and (2) ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” that requires losses be accrued when it is probable that the lender will not collect all principal and interest due under the original terms of the loan. The adequacy of the allowance is determined through careful evaluation of the loan portfolio. This determination is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates, including estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of the current economic environment and other qualitative factors that may be subject to change. Loans and leases deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to it. The level of the allowance is adjusted through the provision for loan losses that is recorded as a current period expense. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in its unfunded loan commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition. The amount of the reserve for unfunded lending commitments is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

 

The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes a specific allowance, a formula allowance and a nonspecific allowance. The specific allowance is for risk rated credits on an individual basis. The formula allowance reflects historical losses by credit category. The nonspecific allowance captures losses whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the specific allowance or the formula allowance. The factors used in determining the nonspecific allowance include trends in delinquencies, trends in volumes and terms of loans, the size of loans relative to the allowance, concentration of credits, the quality of the risk identification system and credit administration and local and national economic trends. These factors are applied to each segment of the loan portfolio and consider the characteristics contained thereof. If circumstances differ materially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be affected. Because events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that increases to the allowance will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above.

 

Commercial Lending - The Company originates commercial loans primarily to businesses located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. These loans are used for various business purposes which include short-term loans, lines of credit to finance machinery and equipment purchases, inventory, and accounts receivable. Generally, the maximum term for loans extended on machinery and equipment is based on the projected useful life of such machinery and equipment. Most business lines of credit are written on demand and may be renewed annually.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Commercial loans are generally secured with short-term assets. However, in many cases additional collateral such as real estate is provided as additional security for the loan. Loan-to-value maximum values have been established by the Company and are specific to the type of collateral. Collateral values may be determined using invoices, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging reports, collateral appraisals, collateral brokers price opinions (“BPO’s”), etc.

 

In underwriting commercial loans, an analysis of the borrower’s character, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral, as well as an evaluation of conditions affecting the borrower is performed. Analysis of the borrower’s past, present, and future cash flows is also an important aspect of the Company’s analysis.

 

Commercial loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.

 

Commercial Real Estate Lending - The Company engages in commercial real estate lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio is secured primarily by commercial retail space, office buildings, and hotels. Generally, commercial real estate loans have terms that do not exceed 20 years, have loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property, and are typically secured by personal guarantees of the borrowers.

 

In underwriting these loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property securing the loan. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

 

Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.

 

Commercial Real Estate Construction Lending - The Company engages in commercial real estate construction lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company’s commercial real estate construction lending consists of commercial and residential site development loans as well as commercial building construction and residential housing construction loans.

 

The Company’s commercial real estate construction loans are generally secured with the subject property. Terms of construction loans depend on the specifics of the project, such as: estimated absorption rates, estimated time to complete, etc.

 

In underwriting commercial real estate construction loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the project using feasibility studies, market data, etc. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

 

Commercial real estate construction loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.

 

Residential Lending - One-to-four family residential loan originations are generated by the Company’s marketing efforts, its present customers, walk-in customers, and referrals. These loans originate primarily within the Company’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.

 

The Company offers fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans with terms up to a maximum of 30 years for both permanent structures and those under construction. The Company’s one-to-four-family residential originations are secured primarily by properties located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The majority of the Company’s residential loans originate with a loan-to-value of 80% or less. Loans in excess of 80% are required to have private mortgage insurance.

 

31
 

 

PATAPSCO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In underwriting one-to-four family residential loans, the Company evaluates both the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments and the value of the property securing the loan. Properties securing residential loans made by the Company are appraised by independent fee appraisers. The Company generally requires borrowers to obtain an attorney’s title opinion or title insurance, as well as fire and property insurance (including flood insurance, if necessary) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan. The Company has not engaged in subprime residential originations.

 

Consumer Lending - The Company offers a variety of secured and unsecured consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit, home equity loans, and loans secured by savings deposits primarily within the Company’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.

 

Home equity lines of credit are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 90% and a maximum term of 20 years.

 

In underwriting home equity lines of credit, a thorough analysis of the borrower’s willingness and financial ability to repay the loan as agreed is performed. The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions, and credit background. The analysis is based primarily on the customer’s ability to repay and secondarily on the collateral or security.

 

Home equity lines of credit and consumer loans secured by savings deposits generally present a lower level of risk than other types of consumer loans because they are secured by the borrower’s primary residence or deposit accounts held at the Company, respectively.

 

A loan is determined to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A loan is not considered impaired during a period of insignificant delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including past-due interest. The Company generally considers a period of insignificant delay in payment to include delinquency up to and including 90 days. Impairment is measured through a comparison of the loan’s carrying amount to the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

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

 

Impaired loans are therefore generally comprised of commercial mortgage, real estate development, and certain restructured residential loans. In addition, impaired loans are generally loans which management has placed in nonaccrual status since loans are placed in nonaccrual status on the earlier of the date that management determines that the collection of principal and/or interest is in doubt or the date that principal or interest is 90 days or more past-due. The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans does not differ from its overall policy for interest recognition.

 

Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss. Loans classified special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weakness may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristics that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are rated pass.

 

In addition, federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Property and Equipment

 

Land is carried at cost. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Additions and betterments are capitalized and costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. The related costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts when an asset is sold or retired and the resultant gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

 

Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure and Other Repossessed Assets

 

Real estate acquired through foreclosure and other repossessed assets are initially recorded at the estimated fair value, net of estimated selling costs, and subsequently at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined utilizing third party appraisals, broker price opinions or other similar methods. Fair value is updated at least annually and more often if circumstances dictate. Costs relating to holding such property are charged against income in the current period, while costs relating to improving such real estate are capitalized until a salable condition is reached.

 

Deferred Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized, with certain exceptions, for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that such amounts will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and other factors. The effects of changes in tax laws or rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Loss per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Net loss (numerator) was adjusted for preferred stock dividends for all affected periods presented.

At June 30, 2012, there were no stock options outstanding. At June 30, 2011, there were 20,832 stock options outstanding, all of which had exercise prices above the market price of the Company’s common stock on the same date. Additionally, as the Company was in a loss position for all of the periods presented above, there was no dilutive effect to the loss per share calculation.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” the Company records compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides services in exchange for the award using the modified prospective method. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation cost for new and modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards prospectively, and to record compensation cost prospectively on the non-vested portion, at the date of adoption of ASC Topic 718, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. No change to prior periods presented is permitted under the modified prospective method.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Acquired intangible assets with finite lives, such as purchased customer accounts, are required to be amortized over their estimated lives, which for the Company is 10 years. The Company periodically assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of intangible assets may be impaired.

 

Intangible assets were composed of the following:

 

(In thousands)  June 30, 2012   June 30, 2011 
   Gross Carrying

Amortization
   Gross Carrying

Amortization expense was $52,000 and $51,000 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The carrying value of $90,000 at June 30, 2012 will be amortized at $51,000 next year and $39,000 the following year.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

 

Segment Reporting

The Company acts as an independent community financial services provider, and offers traditional banking and related financial services to individual, business and government customers. Through its branch and automated teller machine networks, the Bank offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including taking of time, savings and demand deposits; the making of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans; and the providing of other financial services.

 

Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial, retail, and mortgage operations of the Bank. As such, discrete financial information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year’s amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s stockholders’ equity or net loss.

 

Guarantees

 

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company had $1,107,000 and $1,421,000 of standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The amount of the liability as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when funded.

 

Transfers of Financial Assets

 

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

During the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, $12.0 million and $2.9 million in gross proceeds were received on securities sold at a gross gain of $82,000 and $161,000, respectively, using the specific identification method.

 

All mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations in the portfolio were comprised of securities issued by U.S. Government agencies.

 

Securities, issued by agencies of the federal government, with a carrying value of $5.6 million and $5.7 million on June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure the Company’s federal funds accommodation. Securities, issued by agencies of the federal government, with a carrying value of $11.0 million and $19.3 million on June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure the Company’s borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve’s discount window.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had 10 securities in an unrealized loss position. Unrealized losses detailed above relate primarily to U.S. Government agency bonds, agency collateralized mortgage obligations, and corporate bonds. The decline in fair value is considered temporary and is primarily due to interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the securities prior to their recovery. None of the individual unrealized losses are significant. Subsequent to June 30, 2011 Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services reduced the credit rating by one notch in the U.S. sovereign rating from “AAA” to “AA+.” It similarly lowered the senior issue ratings on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to “AA+” from “AA.” The downgrades of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reflect their direct reliance on the U.S. government. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into conservatorship in September 2008 and their ability to fund operations relies heavily on the U.S. government. The impact of the downgrades was a general lowering of market interest rates which caused the value of the related securities in the Company’s portfolio to improve in value since June 30, 2012.

(3)Loans and Related Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided that terms and conditions of the commitment are met. Commitments are generally funded from loan principal repayments, excess liquidity and deposits. Since certain of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

 

Substantially all of the Company's outstanding commitments at June 30, 2012 and 2011 are for loans, which would be secured by various forms of collateral with values in excess of the commitment amounts. The Company's exposure to credit loss under these contracts in the event of non-performance by the other parties, assuming that the collateral proves to be of no value, is represented by the commitment amounts.

 

Outstanding commitments to extend credit are as follows:

 

   June 30, 2012 
(In thousands)  Fixed rate   Floating rate 
Real estate  loans  $1,155   $11,174 
Undisbursed lines of credit   5,787    4,008 
   $6,942   $15,182 

 

   June 30, 2011 
(In thousands)  Fixed rate   Floating rate 
Commercial business loans  $1,250   $- 
Real estate  loans   3,326    4,069 
Undisbursed lines of credit   6,113    4,117 
   $10,689   $8,186 

 

As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company was servicing loans for the benefit of others in the amount of $13,895,000 and $14,533,000, respectively. These balances represent commercial and commercial real estate participations sold. No servicing assets or liabilities have been recognized on these transactions as the Company has determined that the benefits of servicing are just adequate to compensate the servicer for its servicing responsibilities.

 

The Company has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies (commonly referred to as related parties), on the same terms including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others. The following table presents a summary of the activity of loans receivable from related parties:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. Risks Ratings One through Three are deemed “acceptable”. Four rated credits require a quarterly review, because potential weakness in some form may exist. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, may be on non-accrual, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. Loans in the Doubtful category are on non-accrual and have a definite loss of an undetermined amount. The portion of any loan that represents a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is placed in the Loss category.

 

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as a delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. Commercial Loans, Commercial Real Estate Loans, Construction Loans, Residential Loans, and Consumer Loans that are greater than 30 days past due are individually reviewed on a monthly basis and reported to the Board of Directors. In addition, all Commercial, Commercial Real Estate, Construction, Residential and Consumer Loans rated Four through Eight are evaluated with a detailed review, including plans for resolution, and presented to the Watch Committee quarterly. Loans in the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful categories are evaluated for impairment and are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance. The Company engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews every twelve to eighteen months. Generally, the external consultant randomly reviews relationships within the Commercial and Commercial Real Estate portfolios with an emphasis on loans over $500,000, concentrations, criticized assets, non-performing and Regulation O Loans.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company did not restructure any loans. Restructured loans are subject to periodic credit reviews to determine the necessity and adequacy of a specific loan loss allowance based on the collectability of the recorded investment in the restructured loan.  

 

As of June 30, 2012, there was a $1.0 million commercial land development loan, two commercial loans with a carrying value of $1.1 million, two commercial real estate loans with a carrying value of $1.8 million and a $109,000 residential land acquisition/development loan which represented defaulted troubled debt restructures. Three forbearance agreements were negotiated during fiscal year 2009, two were negotiated during fiscal year 2010 and modified during fiscal year 2011, while three were negotiated in fiscal year 2011, prior to June 30, 2011.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

There are forbearance agreements on all loans currently classified as troubled debt restructures. The terms of these forbearance agreements vary whereby principal payments have been decreased, interest rates have been reduced, and/or the loan will be repaid as collateral is sold.

 

As a result of adopting the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02, the Company reassessed all troubled debt restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the current fiscal year of July 1, 2011, for identification as troubled debt restructurings. The Company identified no loans for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance of credit losses methodology that are now considered troubled debt restructurings in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02.

(7)Junior Subordinated Debentures

 

On October 31, 2005, Patapsco Statutory Trust I, a Connecticut statutory business trust and an unconsolidated wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $5 million of capital trust pass-through securities to investors. The interest rate is fixed for the first seven years at 6.465%. Thereafter, the interest rate adjusts on a quarterly basis at the rate of the three month LIBOR plus 1.48%. Patapsco Statutory Trust I purchased $5,155,000 of junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures from the Company. The debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures are the same as the terms of the capital securities. The Company has also fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities. The capital securities are redeemable by the Company on or after October 31, 2010, at par. The capital securities must be redeemed upon final maturity of the subordinated debentures on December 31, 2035.

 

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend interest payments on the trust preferred securities. The Company’s Board of Directors took this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance. At June 30, 2012, cumulative unpaid interest totaled $727,000. This amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements.

 

(8)Borrowings

 

At June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Bank had an agreement under a blanket-floating lien with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta providing the Bank a line of credit of $65.6 million and $65.9 million, respectively. Borrowings totaled $9.0 million and $12.0 million at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Bank is required to maintain as collateral for its FHLB borrowings qualified mortgage loans in an amount greater than 100% of the outstanding advances. This amount totaled $97.7 million at June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012 the Bank had a Federal Funds accommodation with the Pacific Coast Bankers’ Bank of $4.0 million. At June 30, 2012, the Bank has pledged securities in the amount of $5.6 million to collateralize these lines, of which there were no balances outstanding. At June 30, 2012 and 2011, all borrowings are at fixed rates.

Deferred tax assets are deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards. After the deferred tax asset has been measured using the applicable enacted tax rate and provisions of the enacted tax law, it is then necessary to assess the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is needed when, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, available evidence is weighted heavily on cumulative losses with less weight placed on future projected profitability. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income of the appropriate character in the period during which deductible temporary differences reverse or within the carryback and carryforward periods available under tax law. Based on the available evidence, the Bank recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 million and $2.2 million at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

A reconciliation of the income tax expense (benefit) and the amount computed by multiplying loss before income tax expense (benefit) by the statutory Federal income tax rate of 34% is as follows for the years ended June 30:

 

(In thousands)  2012   2011 
Tax at statutory rate  $(482)  $(398)
State income tax benefit, net of Federal income tax benefit   (77)   (75)
Deferred tax asset valuation allowance   628    2,211 
Other   141    (23)
Income tax expense  $210   $1,715 
Effective tax rate   -14.8%   -146.6%

 

The Company has qualified under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code which permit it to deduct from taxable income a provision for bad debts based on actual bad debt experience. Therefore, the provision for bad debts deducted from taxable income for Federal income tax purposes was based on the experience method.

 

We have net operating loss carryforwards for state and federal income tax purposes of approximately $3.1 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income and which expire in the fiscal years ending June 30, 2030 through June 30, 2032.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” which provides clarification on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. As a result of the Company’s evaluation of the implementation of Topic 740, no significant income tax uncertainties were identified. Therefore, the Company recognized no adjustment for unrecognized income tax benefits for the years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company did not recognize any interest and penalties for the years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. The tax years subject to examination by the taxing authorities are the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

(10)Regulatory Matters

 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures deposits of account holders up to $250,000. The Bank pays an annual premium to provide for this insurance. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and is required to maintain an investment in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBA) equal to at least 4.50% of the outstanding borrowings from the FHLBA plus the lesser of 0.20% of total assets or $25 million. The investment in the FHLBA stock is reported in the statement of financial condition as investment securities required by law. Purchases and sales of stock are made directly with the Bank at par value.

 

Pursuant to regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, all FDIC-insured depository institutions must maintain average daily reserves against their transaction accounts. No reserves are required to be maintained on the first $10.7 million of transaction accounts, reserves equal to 3% must be maintained on the next $48.1 million of transaction accounts, and a reserve of 10% must be maintained against all remaining transaction accounts. These reserve requirements are subject to adjustments by the Federal Reserve Board. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or in a non-interest bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of the reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of the institution's interest-earning assets. At June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Bank met its reserve requirements of $494,000 and $573,000, respectively.

 

The Company, as the holding company for the Bank, has an annual cash requirement of approximately $655,000 for the payment of preferred stock dividends and debt service on the subordinated debentures. The only source of internal funds for the holding company is dividends from the Bank. The amount of dividends that can be paid to the Company from the Bank is limited by the retained earnings of the Bank in the current calendar year and the prior two calendar years. However, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.

 

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly cash dividends on the $6.0 million in Series A Preferred Stock and $300,000 in Series B Preferred Stock. On the same date, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures. The Company’s Board of Directors took these actions in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance. The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled dividends on the preferred stock and interest on the junior subordinated debentures; however, the Company believes these decisions will better support the capital position of the Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of June 30, 2012, a total of $736,000 in dividends on the Series A and B Preferred Stock and $727,000 in interest on the junior subordinated debentures had been deferred.

 

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. In addition, the Company must maintain minimum capital and other requirements of regulatory authorities when declaring or paying dividends. The Company has complied with such capital requirements.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as defined in the regulations and as set forth in the table below, as defined) of total and Tier I capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

As of June 30, 2012, the most recent notification from banking regulators categorized the Company as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well or adequately capitalized the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in tables below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

(11)Stockholders' Equity and Related Matters

 

In 1995, the Bank converted from a federally chartered mutual savings association to a capital stock savings bank. Simultaneously, the Bank consummated the formation of a holding company, Patapsco Bancorp, Inc., of which the Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary. In connection with the conversion, the Company publicly issued 362,553 shares of its common stock.

 

Federal regulations required that, upon conversion from mutual to stock form of ownership, a "liquidation account" be established by restricting a portion of net worth for the benefit of eligible savings account holders who maintain their savings accounts with the Company after conversion. In the event of complete liquidation (and only in such event), each savings account holder who continues to maintain his savings account shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account after payment to all creditors, but before any liquidation distribution with respect to capital stock. This account will be proportionately reduced for any subsequent reduction in the eligible holders' savings accounts. At conversion the liquidation account totaled approximately $6,088,000. In addition to the foregoing, certain bad debt reserves of approximately $2,561,000 deducted from income for federal income tax purposes and included in retained earnings of the Company, are not available for the payment of cash dividends or other distributions to stockholders without payment of taxes at the then-current tax rate by the Company, on the amount removed from the reserves for such distributions. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amount was approximately $989,000.

 

(12)Preferred Stock

 

On December 19, 2008, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement, and the related Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”), with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), pursuant to which the Company issued (i) 6,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (”Series A preferred stock”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase an additional $300,000 in preferred stock (“Series B preferred stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.

 

48
 

 

PATAPSCO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Series A preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum until February 15, 2014. Beginning February 15, 2014, the dividend rate will increase to 9% per annum. On and after February 15, 2012, the Company may, at its option, redeem shares of Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for cash at a per share amount equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to but excluding the redemption date. Prior to February 15, 2012, the Company may redeem shares of Series A preferred stock only if it has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $1,500,000 from one or more qualified equity offerings, and the aggregate redemption price may not exceed the net proceeds received by the Company from such offerings. The redemption of the Series A preferred stock requires prior regulatory approval.

 

On December 19, 2008, Treasury exercised all of the warrants on the Series B preferred stock at the exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Series B preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per annum. The Series B preferred stock may not be redeemed until all the Series A preferred stock has been redeemed.

 

The Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Neither the Series A preferred stock nor the Series B preferred stock will be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer.

 

(13)Benefit Plans

 

2004 Stock Incentive Plan

 

In October 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Under this plan, 90,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under a variety of awards. An additional 40,146 shares were made available for issuance to settle past deferred compensation obligations. This new plan replaced the Director’s retirement plan that was effective since September 1995. At the time of adoption, the directors had the option to reallocate their deferred compensation assets.

 

In May 2009, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the directors deferred compensation portion of the Plan. Accordingly, 57,255 deferred shares were distributed to the respective directors in May 2010, and are now included as issued shares. The remaining portion of the Plan continues to remain in effect. As of June 30, 2012 there are 7,000 non-vested shares outstanding under this plan.

 

A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested shares as of June 30, 2012 is presented below:

 

   Common
Shares
   Weighted Average Grant-Date
Fair Value
 
Non-Vested as of June 30, 2011   2,250   $7.10

Forfeited   3,000    0.84 
Non-vested at June 30, 2012   7,000   $0.84 

 

As of June 30, 2012 there was $4,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 26 months. During the year ended June 30, 2012, 10,000 restricted shares were issued to members of executive management. At grant date, vesting of the shares was “cliff” vesting at the end of a three year period. As of March 2, 2012, 3,000 shares were forfeited upon employment termination. Compensation expense recognized in connection with these plans during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $2,000 and $5,000, respectively.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company's 1996 Stock Options and Incentive Plan (Plan) was approved by the stockholders at the 1996 annual meeting. The Plan provides for the granting of options to acquire common stock to directors and key employees. Option prices are equal or greater than the estimated fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant. In October 1996, the Company granted options to purchase 137,862 shares at $4.60 per share. There are no remaining options to be issued under this plan.

401(K) Retirement Savings Plan

 

The Company has a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. Employees may contribute a percentage of their salary subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company is obligated to contribute 3% of each employee's salary, whether or not the employee contributes their own money. All employees who have completed six months of service with the Company in which they have worked more than 500 hours, and are at least 21 years old, are eligible to participate. The Company's contribution to this plan was $74,000 and $84,000 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Additionally, there is a discretionary profit sharing component to the 401K plan. There were no discretionary contributions for the plan for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

(14)Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for certain on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Due from Banks and Interest Bearings Deposits with Banks

The statement of financial condition carrying amounts for cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold approximate the estimated fair values of such assets.

 

Securities Available for Sale

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

 

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable were segmented into portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans were also segmented by type such as residential, commercial, commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction and consumer. Each loan category was further segmented by fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.

 

The fair value of loans was calculated by discounting anticipated cash flows based on weighted average contractual maturity, weighted average coupon and market rates.

Impaired Loans

The Company considers loans to be impaired when it becomes probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All non-accrual loans and Troubled Debt Restructurings are considered impaired. The measurement of impaired loans is based on the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or the fair value of the underlying collateral. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

 

Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure and Other Repossessed Assets

Real estate acquired through foreclosure and other repossessed assets are initially recorded at the estimated fair value, net of estimated selling costs, and subsequently at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined utilizing third party appraisals, broker price opinions or other similar methods. Fair value is updated at least annually and more often if circumstances dictate.

 

Securities required by Law

The carrying amount of securities required by law approximates its fair value.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

 

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing deposits, interest bearing NOW accounts and statement savings accounts, is equal to the carrying amounts. The fair value of certificates of deposit was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate for certificates of deposit was estimated using market rates.

 

Long-Term Debt and Junior Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of long-term debt was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows, using market rates.

 

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Standby Letters of Credit

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, including mortgage loan commitments, undisbursed lines of credit on commercial business loans and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to various degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The fair values of such commitments are immaterial.

 

The disclosure of fair value amounts does not include the fair values of any intangibles, including core deposit intangibles. Core deposit intangibles represent the value attributable to total deposits based on an expected duration of customer relationships.

 

The Company complies with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines the concept of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 applies only to fair value measurements required or permitted under current accounting pronouncements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants as of the measurement date. The statement also expands disclosures about financial instruments that are measured at fair value and eliminates the use of large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets. The disclosure’s emphasis is on the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect of the measurement on earnings for the period.

ASC Topic 820 clarifies how an entity would determine fair value in an inactive market and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or transfer the liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. ASC Topic 820 provides additional guidance in determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly. ASC Topic 820 provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. This guidance clarifies that when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly. In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly. The guidance provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.

 

The Company has an established and documented process for determining fair values. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based on fair value models that use market participant or independently sourced market data, which include discount rate, interest rate yield curves, prepayment speeds, bond ratings, credit risk, loss severities, default rates, and expected cash flow assumptions. In addition, valuation adjustments may be made in the determination of fair value. These fair value adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, creditworthiness, liquidity, and other unobservable inputs that are applied consistently over time. These adjustments are estimated and therefore, subject to managements’ judgment, and at times, may be necessary to mitigate the possibility of error or revision in the estimate of the fair value provided by the model. The Company has various controls in place to ensure that the valuations are appropriate, including review and approval of the valuation models, benchmarking, comparison to similar products, and reviews of actual cash settlements. The methods described above may produce fair value calculations that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes its valuation methods are consistent with other financial institutions, the use of different methods or assumptions to determine fair values could result in different estimates of fair value.

 

ASC Topic 820 established a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based on the inputs used to value the particular asset or liability at 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, quoted prices of identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable for the asset 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.

 

Each financial instrument’s level assignment within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement for that particular category.

 

There were no transfers of assets between fair value Level 1 and Level 2 for the year ended June 30, 2012.
