PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Park Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in 1996, as the holding company for Park Federal Savings Bank (“Bank”), our banking subsidiary. The Bank, which was organized as a mutual savings and loan association and has been operating since 1921, formed the holding company in connection with its conversion from a mutual to a stock savings institution. The Bank is engaged in the business of retail banking, with operations conducted through its main office and two branch offices located in Chicago and Westmont, Illinois. We also engage in residential real estate development through our subsidiary, GPS Development Corporation.

The Bank attracts retail deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding its offices and invests those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and other borrowings, primarily in fixed-rate, one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans and securities. The Bank invests, on a limited basis, in multi-family mortgage, commercial real estate, construction, land, and consumer loans. The Bank’s revenues are derived principally from interest on its loans and securities. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), securities sold under repurchase agreements, and principal and interest payments on loans and securities.

Market Area and Competition

The Bank is a community-oriented savings bank. The Bank’s primary deposit gathering area is concentrated in the communities surrounding its offices, while its lending activities primarily include areas throughout Cook, DuPage, and Will Counties in Illinois.

The Bank’s market area is both an urban and suburban area with the manufacturing industry as the major industrial group, followed by the services sector, and then the wholesale/retail sector. The Bank’s Chicago offices are located in diverse communities, which have a high percentage of customers of various ethnic backgrounds. Management of the Bank believes that its urban communities are stable, residential neighborhoods of predominantly one-to-four-family residences and low to middle income families. The Bank’s Westmont office is located in DuPage County, which consists predominantly of middle to upper income families.

The officers and directors of the Bank maintain relationships with area contractors and real estate agents, which enable them to continually monitor the trends in housing construction and real estate sales in the Bank’s primary market areas. In addition, the Bank obtains information on real estate sales on a periodic basis through public records and is aware of a softening in the real estate market within its lending area.

 

2.


The Bank’s competition for loans comes principally from savings institutions, mortgage banking companies, and commercial banks. Its most direct competition for deposits has historically come from savings institutions, commercial banks, and credit unions. In addition, the Bank faces increasing competition for deposits and other financial products from nonbank institutions such as brokerage firms and insurance companies in such areas as short-term money market funds, corporate and government securities funds, mutual funds, and annuities.

Lending Activities

General. The Bank’s loan portfolio consists primarily of conventional first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four-family residences. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had total gross loans of $148.8 million, of which $86.4 million were one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, or 58.08% of the Bank’s total gross loans. The remainder of the portfolio consists of $23.9 million of multi-family mortgage loans, or 16.05% of total gross loans; $12.8 million of commercial real estate loans, or 8.59% of total gross loans; $9.5 million of construction and land loans, or 6.41% of total gross loans; and consumer and other loans of $16.2 million, or 10.87% of total gross loans. The Bank had no loans held for sale at December 31, 2007.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. The Board of Directors establishes the lending policies of the Bank and delegates lending authority and responsibility to the Executive Committee, a management committee of the Bank. All real estate loans must be approved by the Executive Committee. The maximum loan amount is $500,000 unless approved by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) regulations, loans to one borrower cannot exceed 15% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus without regulatory notification. The Bank has no loans to one borrower that are in excess of regulatory limits.

All table amounts throughout the Form 10-K are in thousands except share and per share data.

Origination and Purchase of Loans. The Bank’s mortgage lending activities are conducted through its home office and two branch offices. Although the Bank may originate adjustable-rate mortgage loans, the substantial majority of the Bank’s loan originations are fixed-rate mortgage loans. While the Bank retains for its portfolio all of the mortgage loans that it originates, the Bank may, in the future, sell mortgage loans that it originates depending on market conditions and the financial condition of the Bank. The Bank has purchased loans or participated in loans originated by other institutions based upon the Bank’s investment needs and market opportunities.

One-to-Four-Family Mortgage Lending. The Bank offers mortgage loans secured by one-to-four-family residences located in the Bank’s primary market area. Loan applications are obtained by the Bank’s loan officers through their contacts with the local real estate industry, customers, and members of the local communities. The Bank’s policy is to originate one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the lower of the appraised value or the selling price of the property securing the loan and up to 95% of the appraised value or selling price if private mortgage insurance is obtained. The residential mortgage loans originated by the Bank are for maturity terms of up to 30 years.

The Bank offers adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans as a means of reducing its exposure to changes in interest rates. However, the volume and types of ARM loans originated by the Bank have been affected by such market factors as the level of interest rates, competition, consumer preferences, and the availability of funds. In recent years, the Bank has not originated a significant amount of ARM loans as compared to its originations of fixed-rate loans. ARM loans pose credit risks different from the risks inherent in fixed rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the underlying payments of the borrower rise, thereby increasing the potential for default. The ARM loans currently offered by the Bank do not provide for initial deep discount “teaser” interest rates. Although the Bank will continue to offer ARM loans, there can be no assurance that in the future the Bank will be able to originate a sufficient volume of ARM loans to constitute a significant portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Multi-Family Lending. The Bank originates multi-family mortgage loans secured by properties located in the Bank’s primary market area. The amount of multi-family loans originated by the Bank depends upon market conditions.

 

6.


Pursuant to the Bank’s current underwriting policies, a multi-family mortgage loan may be made in an amount up to 80% of the appraised value of the underlying property. In addition, the Bank generally requires a debt service ratio of 120%. Properties securing a multi-family loan are appraised by an independent appraiser. Title and property insurance are required on all multi-family loans.

The Bank’s underwriting policies require that the borrower be able to demonstrate strong management skills and the ability to maintain the property for current rental income. The borrower is required to present evidence of the ability to repay the mortgage and a satisfactory credit history. In making its assessment of the creditworthiness of the borrower, the Bank reviews the financial statements and the employment and credit history of the borrower as well as other related documentation. Loans secured by multi-family residential properties generally involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by multi-family properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. The Bank seeks to minimize these risks through its underwriting policies, which require such loans to be qualified at origination on the basis of the property’s income and debt coverage ratio.

Commercial Real Estate Lending. On a limited basis, the Bank originates commercial real estate loans that are generally secured by properties used for business purposes such as small office buildings or retail facilities located in its primary market areas. The Bank’s underwriting procedures provide that commercial real estate loans may be made in amounts up to the lesser of 80% of the appraised value of the property or the sales price. The Bank has generally required that the properties securing commercial real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios of at least 120%.

Loans secured by commercial real estate properties are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans is subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. The Bank seeks to minimize these risks through its underwriting standards, which require such loans to be qualified on the basis of the property’s income and debt service ratio.

Construction and Land Lending. The Bank originates construction and land loans in its primary market areas. The Bank’s construction loans primarily are made to finance development of one-to-four-family residential properties. These loans are primarily fixed-rate loans with maturities of one year or less. The Bank’s policies provide that construction loans may be made in amounts up to 80% of the appraised value of the property for construction of one-to-four-family residences. The Bank requires an independent appraisal of the property. Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as regular inspections warrant. Land loans generally do not exceed 75% of the actual cost or current appraised value of the property, whichever is less.

 

7.


Construction lending may be viewed as involving a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family mortgage lending. The repayment of the construction loan is, to a great degree, dependent upon the successful and timely completion of the construction of the subject property. Construction delays or the financial impairment of the builder may further impair the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.

Consumer and Other Lending. The Bank’s consumer and other loans generally consist of automobile loans, second mortgage loans, loans secured by deposits, commercial lines of credit secured by real estate, and participations purchased.

The Bank purchases one-to-four-family mortgage loans and loan participations from other financial institutions in its primary market area. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $10.2 million in purchased mortgage loans and loan participations serviced by others, totaling 6.8% of the total loan portfolio. The Bank may purchase loans to supplement reduced loan demand as needed and must meet the same underwriting criteria as loans originated by the Bank.

Delinquencies and Classified Assets. The Board of Directors and management perform a monthly review of all loans sixty days or more past due. The procedures taken by the Bank with respect to delinquencies vary depending on the nature of the loan and period of delinquency. The Bank sends the borrower a written notice of nonpayment after the loan is first past due. If the loan is not brought current and it becomes necessary to take legal action, which occurs after a loan is delinquent at least 60 days, the Bank may commence foreclosure proceedings. If a foreclosure action is instituted and the loan is not brought current, paid in full, or refinanced before the foreclosure sale, the real property securing the loan is foreclosed upon and sold.

Federal regulations and the Bank’s Classification of Assets Policy require that the Bank utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. The Bank has incorporated the OTS internal asset classifications as a part of its credit monitoring system. The Bank currently classifies problem and potential problem assets as “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” or “Loss” assets, depending upon the severity of the delinquency status or repayment capacity of the borrower. The likelihood of collection on the loan declines with each classification, and assets classified as “Loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss allowance is not warranted. Assets that do not currently expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated “Special Mention.”

The Bank’s Executive Committee reviews and classifies the Bank’s assets monthly and reports the results of its review to the Board of Directors. The Bank classifies assets in accordance with the management guidelines described above. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $3.8 million of assets classified as “Special Mention,” and $2.6 million of assets classified as “Substandard.” No assets were classified as “Doubtful” or “Loss.”

 

8.


Non-Accrual and Past-Due Loans. The following table sets forth information regarding nonaccrual loans, and other real estate owned (“REO”). It is the policy of the Bank to cease accruing interest on loans 90 days or more past due. For the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006 the amount of interest income that would have been recognized on nonaccrual loans was $10,000, and $92,000, respectively, the comparable amounts for the remaining prior years presented was immaterial to the financial statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio, its classifications of individual loans, and the general economy. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management considers appropriate to cover losses on loans receivable that are deemed probable and estimable. The allowance is based upon a number of factors, including current economic conditions, actual loss experience, and industry trends. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to make additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available at the time of the review. The Bank will continue to monitor and modify the allowance for loan losses as conditions dictate.

Investment Activities

The investment policies of the Company and the Bank as established by the Board of Directors attempt to provide and maintain liquidity, generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and complement the Bank’s lending activities. The policies provide the authority to invest in government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, municipal securities, and equity securities.

Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual prepayments will be greater than estimated prepayments over the life of the security, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such instruments, thereby reducing or increasing, respectively, the net yield on such securities. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities. In addition, the market value of debt securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

All government agency securities held at December 31, 2007 are callable at the option of the issuer, which also presents prepayment risk to the Company.

The following table sets forth information regarding the carrying amount and fair values of the Company’s securities at the dates indicated.

All government agency securities are callable at the option of the issuing agency. Callable rate FHLB advances totaled $25.0 million at December 31, 2007. The Company has call risk on both the investing and borrowing positions. If FHLB advances are called, the Company generally has the ability to refinance them, although the interest rates on new advances may be higher.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits, loan payments, cash flows generated from operations, and FHLB advances are the primary sources of the funds used in lending, investing, and for other general purposes.

Deposits. The Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. The Bank’s deposits consist of passbook savings, NOW accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market rates, prevailing interest rates, and competition. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $69.4 million of certificate accounts maturing in a year or less. The Bank’s deposits are obtained predominantly from the areas surrounding its banking offices. The Bank relies primarily on customer service and competitive rates to attract and retain these deposits.

The following table presents the deposit activity of the Bank for the years indicated:

Borrowings. Although deposits are the Bank’s primary source of funds, the Bank’s policy has been to utilize borrowings, such as advances from the FHLB.

The Bank obtains advances from the FHLB upon the security of its capital stock in the FHLB of Chicago and certain of its mortgage loans. Such advances are made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. The maximum amount that the FHLB will advance to member institutions fluctuates in accordance with the policies of the OTS and the FHLB. There were $46.1 million of FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2007, which carry interest rates ranging from 2.69% to 5.05% and mature on various dates, subject to certain call options by the FHLB.

The Company’s borrowings also include collateralized borrowings through securities sold under repurchase agreements. The Company maintains physical control over the securities.

Information concerning securities sold under agreements to repurchase is summarized as follows:

 

     2007     2006

Subsidiary Activities

The Company has engaged in the business of purchasing unimproved land for development into residential subdivisions of primarily single-family lots through its wholly owned subsidiaries, PBI and GPS. There was $0, $85,000 and $0 gain on the sales of real estate held for development for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Employees

At December 31, 2007, the Company had 52 full-time equivalent employees. None of the Company’s employees are represented by any collective bargaining group. Management considers its relationship with employees to be excellent.

Regulation

The Bank is subject to regulation, examination, and supervision by the OTS, as its chartering agency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as the deposit insurer. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. The Bank must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to establishing branches or entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other financial institutions. The Bank is also required to either provide notice or apply to the OTS before making certain dividend payments. Periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC test the Bank’s compliance with

 

16.


various regulatory requirements. The Company, as a savings bank holding company, is also required to file certain reports and otherwise comply with the rules and regulations of the OTS and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the federal securities laws. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which a depository institution and its holding company can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors, rather than the stockholders of the Company. The regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss allowances for regulatory purposes. Any change in the regulatory structure, the applicable statutes, regulations or policies, whether by the OTS, the FDIC, the SEC, or the Congress, could have a material impact on the Company and the Bank and their operations.

The Bank entered into a Supervisory Agreement (“the Agreement”) with the OTS effective February 26, 2007. The Agreement provides that the Bank will take a number of actions including, but not limited to, (1) adherence to certain regulatory compliance standards; (2) preparation of an updated three-year business plan; (3) adoption of policies and procedures relating to the preparation and filing of suspicious activities reports; (4) adoption of revised policies for the classification of assets, loan underwriting, and allowance for loan and lease losses; (5) board of director monitoring and preparation of a resolution plan for certain real estate owned property; and (6) the establishment of a board committee which will oversee corrective action relating to the recent OTS examination report, third-party reviews, and internal and external audits.

The agreement will remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the OTS. Failure to comply with the agreement could result in the initiation of formal enforcement action by the OTS.

Recent Federal Legislative Initiatives. Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005. On February 1, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “Insurance Reform Act”) was signed into law. The Insurance Reform Act calls for the merger of the bank insurance fund and savings association insurance fund in to a single deposit insurance fund (“DIF”), which is to take place by July 1, 2006. In addition, the Insurance Reform Act increases the deposit insurance coverage limit to $250,000 for certain retirement accounts (mostly IRA’s, Keogh accounts, “457” Plans for state employees and 401(k) accounts) and indexes future insurance coverage to inflation beginning in 2011. The Insurance Reform Act also allows the FDIC to raise or lower the designated reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.50% on an annual basis. It also authorizes certain one-time premium assessment credits to insured institutions, awards DIF dividends under certain circumstances, and authorizes the FDIC to revise the current risk-based system for determining assessments. The FDIC is required to promulgate regulations implementing the requirements of the Insurance Reform Act by November 2006. Until the FDIC promulgates these regulations, it is uncertain what, if any, impact this legislation will have on our operations.

Patriot Act of 2001. The Patriot Act of 2001, enacted in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorists’ attacks, requires bank regulators to consider a financial institution’s compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) when reviewing applications from financial institutions. Under

 

17.


the BSA, a financial institution is required to have systems in place to detect certain transactions, based on the size and nature of the transaction. Financial institutions are generally required to report cash transactions involving more than $10,000 to the United Stated Treasury. In addition, financial institutions are required to file suspicious activity reports for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and which the financial institution knows, suspects or has reason to suspect involves illegal funds, is designed to evade the requirements of the BSA or has no lawful purpose. The BSA also requires the Bank to establish and follow customer identification procedures when opening new accounts for customers. The Bank’s compliance with the BSA therefore will be considered by its federal regulators when reviewing applications submitted by the Bank.

Impact of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. In 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“the GLB Act”) was enacted, which, among other things, established a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, and securities firms. The GLB Act significantly reforms various aspects of the financial services business, including but not limited to: (i) establishing a new framework under which bank holding companies and, subject to numerous restrictions, banks can own securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial companies; (ii) subjecting banks to the same securities regulation as other providers of securities products; and (iii) prohibiting new unitary savings and loan holding companies from engaging in nonfinancial activities or affiliating with nonfinancial entities. The GLB Act restricts the powers of new unitary savings and loan association holding companies. Unitary savings and loan holding companies in existence or with applications filed with the OTS on or before May 4, 1999, such as the Company, retain their authority under the prior law. All other unitary savings and loan holding companies are limited to financially related activities permissible for bank holding companies, as defined under the GLB Act. The GLB Act also prohibits non-financial companies from acquiring grandfathered unitary savings and loan association holding companies.

The provisions in the GLB Act permitting full affiliations between bank holding companies or banks and other financial companies do not increase our authority to affiliate with securities firms, insurance companies or other financial companies. As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company was generally permitted to have such affiliations prior to the enactment of the GLB Act. It is expected, however, that these provisions will benefit the Company’s competitors.

The GLB Act imposes requirements on financial institutions with respect to customer privacy by generally prohibiting disclosure of customer information to non-affiliated third parties unless the customer has been given the opportunity to object and has not objected to such disclosure. Financial institutions are further required to disclose their privacy policies to customers annually. Final regulations have been passed regarding customer privacy under the GLB Act.

 

18.


The Company does not believe that the GLB Act will have a material adverse affect upon its operations in the near term. However, to the extent the GLB Act permits banks, securities firms, and insurance companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation. This could result in a growing number of larger financial institutions that offer a wider variety of financial services than the Company currently offers and that can aggressively compete in the markets the Company currently serves.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks, including those discussed below, which may affect the value of our common stock. Set forth below are certain risk factors which we believe to be relevant to an understanding of our business. This list should not be considered a comprehensive list of all potential risks and uncertainties. You should also refer to the other information included in this Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Significant risk factors include:

Interest Rate Risk. Our earnings and profitability depend significantly on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Since interest rates can fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, our asset-liability management strategy may not be able to prevent changes in interest rates from having a material adverse effect on our earnings.

Credit Risk. Our loan customers may not repay their loans according to their terms and the collateral may be insufficient to repay the loan. Management makes various assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and if those assumptions are incorrect, the result could have an adverse affect on earnings. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for discussion of our allowance for loan losses.

Regulatory Risk. We are subject to extensive federal and state legislation and supervision which governs nearly every aspect of our business. The burden of compliance has in the past and will continue to have an impact on the banking industry generally, and changes to these laws could affect our ability to deliver or expand our business specifically. See “Business — Regulation.”

Industry Risk. We operate in a rapidly changing environment having numerous competitors including other banks, thrifts, savings institutions and credit unions as well as brokerage firms, mortgage brokers and insurance companies. Our profitability depends upon our continued success in competing in the Chicago market.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The primary business of the Company is the ownership of the Bank. The Company’s results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company also generates noninterest income such as income from real estate development activities and service fees. Noninterest expense consists of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, and other operating expenses. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory agencies.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates; the economic health of the local real estate market; general economic conditions; legislative/regulatory provisions; monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; the quality or composition of the loan and securities portfolios; demand for loan products; deposit flows; competition; demand for financial services in the Company’s market area; and accounting principles, policies, and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

 

24.


Average Statement of Financial Condition

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s Average Statement of Financial Condition and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005. The yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the years shown. Average balances are derived from average month-end balances. Management does not believe that the use of average monthly balances instead of average daily balances has caused any material differences in the information presented. Average balances of loans receivable include loans on which the Bank has discontinued accruing interest. Loan yields include fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006

Total assets at December 31, 2007 were $220.1 million compared to $227.2 million at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $7.1 million. Securities available for sale decreased $6.2 million to $33.8 million at December 31, 2007 from $40.0 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in securities available for sale was due to repayments and calls on securities. During 2007, loans decreased $2.1 million to $146.0 million, primarily due to a lower volume of loan originations. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $2.1 million in premises and equipment, the result of the Bank’s proposed new branch location on 47th Street in Chicago, Illinois.

Total liabilities at December 31, 2007 were $189.8 million compared to $198.1 million at December 31, 2006. Deposits decreased $6.0 million to $137.0 million at December 31, 2007 from December 31, 2006; this decrease was the result of competition and the Bank managing its interest rate risk. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings decreased $1.1 million and $800,000, respectively at December 31, 2007 from the same period in 2006 as less liquidity was required throughout the year.

 

26.


Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 was $30.3 million, which is equivalent to 13.8% of total assets. Book value at December 31, 2006 was $25.61 per share. The increase in stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2007 was primarily attributable to the repurchase of 46,299 shares at an average price of $32.48, dividends paid of $843,000 and a net loss of $117,000, offset by unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $489,000, and 145,519 options exercised at an average price of $18.89.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

General

Net loss was $117,000 during 2007, compared to $0 net income in 2006. The change is primarily due to decreases in the Company’s net interest income of $329,000 and an increase in noninterest expense of $191,000, offset by a decrease in the loan loss provision of $174,000, and increases in noninterest income of $141,000 and income tax benefit of $88,000.

Net Interest Income

Interest income in 2007 was $12.0 million, compared to $12.3 million in 2006. Average yield on interest-earning assets increased to 6.03% in 2007, compared to 5.76% in 2006, offset by a decrease of $14.6 million in average interest-earning assets during 2007 from 2006.

Interest expense in 2007 was $6.5 million compared to $6.4 million in 2006. The change in interest expense is due to a 25 basis point increase in the average cost of interest–bearing liabilities offset by a decrease of $13.9 million in average interest-bearing liabilities from 2006.

Net interest income in 2007 was $5.5 million compared to $5.9 million in 2006. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin was 2.55% and 2.78% in 2007 compared to 2.53% and 2.74% in 2006, respectively.

 

27.


Provision for Loan Losses

Management establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level management believes is appropriate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision, as more information becomes available or as future events change. The provision for loan losses was $75,000 and $249,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as necessary in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2007 is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio, and such losses were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income in 2007 was $793,000 compared to $652,000 in 2006. The change was primarily due to a $74,000 gain on the sales of securities realized during 2007, a gain on the sale of real estate owned of $162,000 also realized in 2007 offset by a decrease in gain on the sale of real estate held for development of $85,000.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense in 2007 was $6.6 million, an increase of $191,000 from 2006. The change was primarily due to decreases in compensation expense, occupancy and equipment expense and advertising expense of $349,000, $35,000 and $47,000, respectively, offset by increases in real estate owned expense of $427,000 and a loss on security impairment of $168,000. The real estate owned expense was incurred in connection with maintaining the three properties that were transferred to real estate owned during 2006 and a write-down of the carrying value in the fourth quarter of 2007 from declining real estate values. The Company recognized a $168,000 other-than-temporary impairment loss on its mutual fund investment which has been in an unrealized loss position since 2003.

Income Taxes

An income tax benefit of $234,000 was recognized in 2007 compared to the income tax benefit of $146,000 recognized in 2006. The increase in income tax benefit was due to a larger pre-tax loss in 2007 compared to 2006.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

General

There was no net income during 2006, which was a decrease of $630,000 from 2005. The change is primarily due to decreases in the Company’s net interest income of $1.6 million, and noninterest income of $142,000 offset by decreases in noninterest expense of $38,000, loan loss provision of $748,000 and a decrease in income tax expense of $303,000.

Net Interest Income

Interest income in 2006 was $12.3 million, compared to $13.3 million in 2005. Average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.76% in 2006, compared to 5.61% in 2005. Average interest-earning assets decreased $22.7 million in 2006 from 2005. Loan originations decreased $17.4 million in 2006.

Interest expense in 2006 was $6.4 million compared to $5.8 million in 2005. The change in interest expense is due to a 59 basis point increase in the average cost of interest–bearing liabilities from 2005. This change was partially offset by a decrease of $21.4 million in average interest-bearing liabilities from 2005.

Net interest income in 2006 was $5.9 million compared to $7.4 million in 2005. The change was primarily due to a decrease in the net interest rate spread to 2.53% in 2006 from 2.97% in 2005 and a decrease in the net interest margin to 2.74% in 2006 from 3.15% in 2005.

 

29.


Provision for Loan Losses

Management establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level management believes is appropriate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision, as more information becomes available or as future events change. There was a provision for loan losses of $249,000 in 2006 and $997,000 in 2005.

Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as necessary in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2006 is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio, and such losses were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income in 2006 was $652,000 compared to $794,000 in 2005. The change was primarily due to a $152,000 gain on the sales of securities realized in 2005, a decrease in service fee income and a decrease in gain on sale of real estate owned offset by a gain on sale of real estate held for development in 2006.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense in 2006 was $6.4 million a decrease of $38,000 from 2005. The change was due to a decrease in losses from an investment in a limited partnership and lower compensation expense offset by an increase in real estate owned expense. The real estate owned expense was incurred in connection with maintaining the three properties that were transferred to real estate owned during 2006.

Income Taxes

An income tax benefit of $146,000 was recognized in 2006 compared to an income tax expense of $157,000 incurred in 2005. The change in income tax expense was due to a pre-tax loss in 2006 and tax credits of $117,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from maturities and calls of securities, FHLB advances, and securities sold under repurchase agreements. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank maintains a liquidity ratio substantially above the regulatory requirement. This requirement, which may be varied at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The required ratio is currently 4.0%. The Bank’s average regulatory liquidity ratios were 22.37%, 21.82%, and 36.26% for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

The Company’s cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash from operating activities were $1.3 million, $(423,000), and $2.4 million in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Net cash from investing activities consisted primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from maturing securities and paydowns on mortgage-backed securities. Net cash from investing activities were $6.6 million, $23.6 million and $18.3 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of the activity in deposit accounts, FHLB borrowings, and securities sold under repurchase agreements in addition to the purchase of treasury stock. The net cash used in financing activities was $(7.7) million, $(13.1) million, and $(29.2) million in 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

At December 31, 2007, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 (core) capital level of $28.4 million, or 13.0% of adjusted total assets, which is above the required level of $8.8 million, or 4.0%; and total risk-based capital of $29.0 million, or 20.2% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $11.5 million, or 8.0%.

The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2007, cash and short-term investments totaled $15.4 million. The Bank has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including the repayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities. The Bank may also utilize FHLB advances or the sale of securities available for sale as a source of funds.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Estimating the amount of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans, both of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated balance sheet. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.

 

31.


There are many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses; some quantitative, while others require qualitative judgment. Although management believes its process for determining the allowance adequately considers all potential factors that could potentially result in credit losses, the process includes subjective elements and may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provisions for credit losses could be required that could adversely affect earnings or financial position in future periods. Management is monitoring credit risk trends and the impact on the allowance for loan losses analysis.

Real Estate Owned: Real estate acquired through foreclosure and similar proceedings is carried at cost (fair value at the date of foreclosure) or at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Losses on disposition, including expenses incurred in connection with the disposition, are charged to operations. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed. Real estate values are declining in the Company’s market and management is monitoring the values of its real estate owned properties.

Commitments

At December 31, 2007, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate mortgage loans of $504,000, as compared to $454,000 in 2006. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments. Certificate accounts that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from December 31, 2007 totaled $69.4 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificate accounts will be renewed at the Bank. However, if these deposits are not retained, the Bank may utilize FHLB advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new funds, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of 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.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Bank’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of a model that estimates the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet contracts. An NPV Ratio, in any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The Sensitivity Measure is the decline in the NPV Ratio, in basis points, caused by a 2% increase or decrease in rates, whichever produces a larger decline. The higher an institution’s Sensitivity Measure is, the greater its exposure to interest rate risk is considered to be. The OTS has incorporated an interest rate risk component into its regulatory capital rule. Under the rule, an institution whose sensitivity measure exceeds 2% would be required to deduct an interest rate risk component in calculating its total capital for purposes of the risk-based capital requirement. As

 

33.


of December 31, 2007, the Bank’s sensitivity measure, as measured by the OTS, resulting from a 200 basis point increase in interest rates was (15)% and would result in a $4.9 million decrease in the NPV of the Bank. Accordingly, increases in interest rates would be expected to have a negative impact on the Bank’s operating results. The NPV Ratio sensitivity measure is below the threshold at which the Bank could be required to hold additional risk-based capital under OTS regulations.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV require the making of certain assumptions that may tend to oversimplify the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. First, the models assume that the composition of the Bank’s interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remain constant over the period being measured. Second, the models assume that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Third, the model does not take into account the impact of the Bank’s business or strategic plans on the structure of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV measurement provides an indication of the Bank’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurement is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income and will differ from actual results. The results of this modeling are monitored by management and presented to the Board of Directors quarterly.

The following tables show the NPV and projected change in the NPV of the Bank at December 31, 2007 and 2006 assuming an instantaneous and sustained change in market interest rates of 300, 200 and 100, basis points.

The Bank and the Company do not maintain any securities for trading purposes. The Bank and the Company do not currently engage in trading activities or use derivative instruments in a material amount to control interest rate risk. In addition, interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Bank and the Company. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities and operations.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as contemplated by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the periodic reports the Company is required to file and submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act.

The management of Park Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Park Bancorp, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

35.


Park Bancorp, Inc.’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework.” Based on that assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective, based on those criteria.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park Bancorp, Inc. (“the Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Park Federal Savings Bank (“the Bank”) and PBI Development Corporation (“PBI”), which conduct real estate development activities. The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries: GPS Corporation, which conducts limited insurance activities, and GPS Development Corp. (“GPS”), which conducts real estate development activities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Business: The primary business of the Company is the ownership of the Bank. Through the Bank, the Company is engaged in the business of retail banking, with operations conducted through its main office and two branches, located in Chicago and Westmont, Illinois. The Company’s revenues primarily arise from interest income from retail lending activities and investments.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The collectibility of loans, fair value of financial instruments, prepayment of mortgage-backed securities, and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change.

Securities: Securities are classified as available for sale when management may decide to sell those securities in response to changes in market interest rates, liquidity needs, changes in yields on alternative investments, and for other reasons. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of deferred income taxes. Realized gains and losses on disposition are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted amortized cost of the securities sold, using the specific identification method. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount.

Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Interest on securities includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Loans Receivable: Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan losses, deferred loan origination fees, and discounts.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loss experience, economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position and collateral values, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance when management believes that the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan term is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, residential construction, consumer loans, and on an individual basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

Loan Interest Income: Interest on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based upon the principal outstanding. Management reviews loans delinquent 90 days or more to determine if loans should be placed on nonaccrual. Interest accrued but not received for loans delinquent 90 days or more is reversed against interest income. The carrying values of impaired loans are periodically adjusted to reflect cash payments, revised estimates of future cash flows, and increases in the present value of expected cash flows due to the passage of time. Cash payments representing interest income are reported as such. Other cash payments are reported as reductions in carrying value, while increases or decreases due to changes in estimates of future payments and due to the passage of time are reported as adjustments to the provision for loan losses.

Loan Origination Fees: Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings and related components have useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years and furniture, fixtures, and equipment have useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years.

Real Estate Owned: Real estate acquired through foreclosure and similar proceedings is carried at the lower of cost (fair value at the date of foreclosure) or fair value less estimated costs to sell. If the fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. A valuation allowance of $305,000 was recorded in 2007. Losses on disposition, including expenses incurred in connection with the disposition, are charged to operations. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance: The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Upon adoption of EITF 06-5, which is discussed further below, bank-owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. Prior to adoption of EITF 06-5, the Company recorded owned life insurance at its cash surrender value.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance – Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance. This Issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the Issue requires disclosure when there are contractual restrictions on the Company’s ability to surrender a policy. The adoption of EITF 06-5 on January 1, 2007 had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

Repurchase Agreements: Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover those liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005

(Table amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The cost of shares issued to the employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) but not yet allocated to participants is presented in the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market price of the shares as they are committed to be released for allocation to participant accounts. The difference between the market price and the cost of shares committed to be released is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are reflected as a reduction of debt.

Shares are considered outstanding for earnings per share calculations as they are committed to be released; unallocated shares are not considered outstanding.

Stock Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company records stock-based employee compensation cost using the fair value method starting in 2006.

Prior to January 1, 2006, employee compensation expense under stock options was reported using the intrinsic value method; therefore, no stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income for the year ending December 31, 2005, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for the year ending December 31, 2005.

 

Net income as reported

   $ 630  

Deduct: Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair-value-based method

     (12 )
        

Pro forma net income

   $ 618  
        

Basic earnings per share as reported

   $ 0.59  

Pro forma basic earnings per share

     0.58  

Diluted earnings per share as reported

   $ 0.54  

Pro forma diluted earnings per share

     0.53  

Cash Flows: For the purpose of this statement, cash and cash equivalents are defined to include the Company’s cash on hand, demand balances, interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions, and investments in certificates of deposit with maturities of less than three months. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, repurchase agreements, advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance, and short-term line of credit borrowings.

Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and the unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of taxes, which is also recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, including allocated and committed-to-be-released ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per share shows the dilutive effect, if any, of additional common shares issuable under stock options.

Effect of Recently-Issued Standards

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The impact of adoption on January 1, 2008 had no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate footnote. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments: While management monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, the identifiable segments are not material and operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Except for its mutual fund investment as explained in the following paragraph, unrealized losses on the above securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers of these securities are of high credit quality, management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to increased market interest rates. The Company’s management believes that the fair value of these securities will recover in the future, or as the security approaches maturity.

At December 31, 2007, the Company recognized a $168,000 other-than-temporary impairment loss on its mutual fund investment. The mutual fund has been in an unrealized loss position since 2003 with a decline as much as 2.7%. The amortized cost basis was $6.4 million and its fair value was 2.6% less at December 31, 2007. The mutual fund’s fair value traditionally reacted inversely with short-term interest rates, although during 2007 it ceased to react to short-term interest rate changes and management believed it could no longer forecast a recovery within a reasonable holding period. Even though management does not perceive credit loss exposure and intends to hold the mutual fund for the foreseeable future, the unrealized loss was deemed to be other-than-temporary and the loss was recognized through earnings.

NOTE 7 - OTHER BORROWING

The Company’s other borrowing consists of a note payable $2,000,000 line of credit with a correspondent bank. The line of credit is secured by all of the stock of the Bank and matures on July 31, 2008. The balances outstanding on the line of credit were $0 and $800 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest on the line is payable quarterly at a variable market rate. The average interest rate for 2007 was 7.36%.

NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Bank maintains a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees. The plan allows participant salary deferrals into the plan along with a matching contribution provided by the Bank. Contributions to the 401(k) plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and charged to expense annually. Total contributions to the plan were $74,000, $76,000, and $74,000 for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

The Bank maintains a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) to provide certain officers and highly compensated employees with additional retirement benefits. The SERP is designed to restore benefits to participants in the qualified plan whose retirement benefits were reduced as the result of changes in the Internal Revenue Code. There was no SERP expense for 2007 or 2006 because the plan was frozen as of January 1, 2006. The Bank recognized expense of $77,000 in 2005.

The Bank established an ESOP for the benefit of substantially all employees. The ESOP borrowed $2,160,990 from the Company in 1996 and used those funds to acquire 216,099 shares of the Company’s stock at $10 per share, the initial public offering price.

NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

 

Shares issued to the ESOP are allocated to ESOP participants based on principal repayments made by the ESOP on the loan from the Company. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank’s discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets. Principal payments are scheduled to occur over a 15-year period. However, in the event the Bank’s contributions exceed the minimum debt service requirements, additional principal payments will be made.

During 2007, 2006, and 2005, 11,898, 12,567, and 13,236 shares of stock, with an average fair value of $30.26, $33.50, and $30.75 per share were committed to be released, resulting in ESOP compensation expense of $359,000, $418,000, and $407,000, respectively. ESOP shares increased 3,657 and 2,991 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, due to shares being purchased with dividends received on allocated shares. ESOP shares had been reduced by 3,452 and 4,479 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, because of terminations. Shares held by the ESOP at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

The Company adopted a stock option plan in 1997 under the terms of which 270,144 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance. All options granted become exercisable over a five-year period from the date of grant. All options granted expire ten years from the date of grant. There were no options granted in 2007, 2006, and 2005.

The Company adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan during 2003 under the terms of which 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance. Of the shares authorized for issuance under the plan, up to 40,000 may be issued with respect to awards of restricted stock and restricted units and up to 40,000 may be issued pursuant to stock options under which the exercise price was less than the fair market value (but not less than 50% of the fair market value) of a share of common stock on the date the award was granted. In addition, as required by Code Section 162(m), the plan includes a limit of 50,000 shares of common stock as the maximum number of shares that may be subject to awards made to any one individual. At December 31, 2007, no shares have been granted.

NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company used historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. (Employee and management options are tracked separately.) The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

NOTE 10 - REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal regulatory agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.

The Bank at December 31, 2007 was categorized as well capitalized. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change the Bank’s category.

Federal regulations require the Qualified Thrift Lender (“QTL”) test, which mandates that approximately 65% of assets be maintained in housing-related finance and other specified areas. If the QTL test is not met, limits are placed on growth, branching, new investments, and FHLB advances or the Bank must convert to a commercial bank charter. Management believes that this test is met.

NOTE 11 - REGULATORY AGREEMENT

The Bank entered into a Supervisory Agreement (“the Agreement”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) effective February 26, 2007. The Agreement provides that the Bank will take a number of actions including, but not limited to, (1) adherence to certain regulatory compliance standards; (2) preparation of an updated three-year business plan; (3) adoption of policies and procedures relating to the preparation and filing of suspicious activities reports; (4) adoption of revised policies for the classification of assets, loan underwriting, and allowance

for loan and lease losses; (5) board of director monitoring and preparation of a resolution plan for certain real estate owned property; and (6) the establishment of a board committee which will oversee corrective action relating to the recent OTS examination report, third-party reviews, and internal and external audits.

The agreement will remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the OTS. Failure to comply with the agreement could result in the initiation of formal enforcement action by the OTS.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

Income tax (benefit) expense consists of the following:

 

     2007     2006     2005  

Currently payable tax

   $ 90     $ (455 )   $ 430  

Deferred tax (benefit)

Income tax (benefit) expense

   $ (234 )   $ (146 )   $ 157  
                        

Due to interest income earned on certain U.S. government agency securities, there was no state income tax expense in 2007, 2006, or 2005. The state of Illinois does not tax interest earned on such securities.

The federal income tax expense differs from the amounts determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes as a result of the following items:

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)

 

Prior to 1997, the Bank had qualified under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that allowed it to deduct from taxable income a provision based on a percentage of taxable income, which differed from the provision charged to income. Retained earnings at December 31, 2007 include approximately $3,298,000 for which no deferred federal income tax liability has been recorded. The amount of deferred tax liabilities related to this approximates $1,121,000.

Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the following at year end:

 

     2007     2006  

Deferred loan fees

   $ 93     $ 127  

ESOP and Supplemental Retirement Plan expense

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist of standby letters of credit and commitments to make loans and fund loans in process.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to these financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company follows the same credit policy to make such commitments as is followed for those loans recorded on the statement of financial condition.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS (Continued)

 

The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at year end is summarized as follows:

 

     2007    2006

Commitments to make loans (all fixed rate)

   $ 504    $ 454

Unused lines of credit

Letters of credit

     341      1,341

Loans in process

     1,857      3,083

The loan commitments at December 31, 2007 have terms of up to 60 days and rates in the range of 6.13% to 6.88%.

Since certain commitments to make loans and fund loans in process may expire without being used, the amounts above do not necessarily represent future cash commitments. No losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions.

NOTE 14 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

 

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, FHLB stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes and, if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. The fair value of FHLB advances is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items, based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements, is immaterial.

Other assets and liabilities of the Company not defined as financial instruments, such as property and equipment, are not included in the above disclosures. Also not included are nonfinancial instruments typically not recognized in financial statements such as the value of core deposits, customer goodwill, and similar items.

While the above estimates are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that if the Company disposed of these items on December 31, 2007 or December 31, 2006 the fair values would have been achieved, because the market value may differ depending on the circumstances. The estimated fair values at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 should not necessarily be considered to apply at subsequent dates.

NOTE 15 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Other comprehensive income components and related taxes were as follows:

 

     2007     2006     2005  

Unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities available for sale

   $ 836     $ 314     $ (731 )
