NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Ohio Legacy Corp (Ohio Legacy) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ohio Legacy Bank, National Association (Bank). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. References to the Company include Ohio Legacy, consolidated with its subsidiary, the Bank.

Ohio Legacy is a bank holding company incorporated on July 1, 1999 under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Bank began operations on October 3, 2000. The Bank provides financial services through its full-service offices in Wooster and Canton, Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and certificate of deposit accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business and consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by residential and commercial real estate. Other financial instruments that potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

These consolidated financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2009, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accounting principles used to prepare the consolidated financial statements are in compliance with U.S. GAAP. However, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all necessary financial and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

For reasons more fully described in Note 9 to these interim financial statements, the Company’s auditors added an explanatory paragraph to its opinion on the Company’s December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial information presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which includes information and disclosures not presented in this report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Company has consistently followed those policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, judgments about the other than temporary impairment of securities, fair value of financial instruments, valuation of deferred tax assets and the fair value of other real estate owned are particularly subject to change.

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

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.

Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the issuance of the financial statements November 16, 2009 determining no events require adjustments or additional disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

With the issuance of ASC-105-10 on June 29, 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) became the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative.   This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements:

Accounting for Business Combinations:  The Company adopted new guidance impacting Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations”), on January 1, 2009. This guidance was issued with the objective to improve the comparability of information that a company provides in its financial statements related to a business combination. This new guidance establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This new guidance does not apply to combinations between entities under common control. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial statements and applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements: The Company adopted new guidance impacting FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation (SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”), on January 1, 2009. A noncontrolling interest, also known as a “minority interest,” is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. This guidance was issued with the objective to improve upon the consistency of financial information that a company provides in its consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: The Company adopted new guidance impacting FASB ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”), on January 1, 2009. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and therefore should improve the transparency of financial reporting, and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial  statements.

Subsequent Events: The Company adopted FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events”), on June 30, 2009. This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on The Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly: In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”). This provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company adopted new guidance impacting FASB ASC 825-10-50, Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”), effective June 30, 2009. This guidance amended existing GAAP to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments: In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB ASC 320-10, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”). This guidance amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on The Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has not experienced other-than temporary impairment within its debt securities portfolio.

Recently Issued but not yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements:

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets: In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from existing GAAP and removes the exception from applying FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation (FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities) to qualifying special purpose entities. The objective of this new guidance is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial  performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. The new guidance will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (for the Company  this will be as of January 1, 2010), for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Management is still evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R): In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” The objective of this new guidance is to amend certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. This guidance will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (for the Company, this will be as of January 1, 2010), for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Management is still evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

NOTE 3 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company granted 150,000 warrants (Director Warrants) to organizers of the Company at the time of closing of the 2000 Offering. The Director Warrants vest in equal percentages each year over a three-year period from the date of grant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase a share of common stock at $10.00 per share and will expire ten years from the date of issuance. At September 30, 2009 all Director Warrants were vested and exercisable. No warrants have been exercised to date.

The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted an Omnibus Stock Option, Stock Ownership and Long-Term Incentive Plan (Stock Ownership Plan).  A total of 400,000 common shares are available for grants under the Stock Ownership Plan. The following types of awards may be granted under the Stock Ownership Plan to eligible persons:  nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options and restricted stock.  Under the Stock Ownership Plan, each nonemployee Director may be granted 2,500 nonqualified options at the time or soon after, that person first becomes a Director. This initial option grant will vest annually in equal amounts over a five-year term.  In addition, each nonemployee Director may receive an annual grant of up to 1,000 nonqualified options during his or her tenure on the Board, which will vest immediately. No Director grants were made in 2009.  Employee option grants usually vest three years from the date of grant.  The exercise price of an option shall not be less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.  In the event of a change in control of the Company, all outstanding options may become immediately exercisable in full at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  Otherwise, all outstanding options will terminate unless the successor corporation agrees to assume or replace such options with an equivalent entitlement. Management expects 100% of the options to vest.

Real estate owned, net

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. Expenditures that improve the fair value of the property are capitalized. It is the Company’s intention to make periodic reassessments of the value of assets held in this category and record valuation adjustments or write-downs as the reassessments dictate.  Real estate owned at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 includes a property placed into receivership until it can be improved and sold in an orderly fashion.

Proceeds from sales and calls of securities available for sale were $59.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Gross gains of $918,200 were realized on these sales during the period. The funds were reinvested into similar securities. There were no sales of securities in the first nine months of 2008.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held-to-maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.

In determining OTTI under the ASC 320 model, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other than temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.
 
12.

 
OHIO LEGACY CORP
 
NOTE 7 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES (continued)

The second segment of the portfolio uses the OTTI guidance provided by ASC 325 that is specific to purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were rated below AA. Under the ASC 325 model, the Company compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows. The Company has no securities that meet this definition as of September 30, 2009.

When OTTI occurs under either model, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
 
As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 37 securities, eight of which were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and two for 12 months or longer. The unrealized losses are related to the Company’s mortgage-backed securities, as discussed below:
 
Mortgage-backed securities
 
At September 30, 2009, 93.4% of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by Ginnie Mae, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and an additional 5.0% were issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2009.
 
The Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio includes one non-agency security with fair value of $417,900 which represents an unrealized loss of approximately $23,900 at September 30, 2009. This non-agency mortgage-backed security was rated AAA and Aaa by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively, when it was purchased and is still rated investment grade. As part of this issue, certain subordinated classes of securities are designated to receive principal repayments only after all payments have been made to senior classes. As of the reporting date, the balances available to support this security were 6.7 times the estimated potential loss, an increase from 3.5 times at issuance. As of September 30, 2009, 1.06% of the loans serving as collateral for this security were 30 days delinquent and 1.45% were 60 days delinquent. There were no loans that were 90 days delinquent and no loans in foreclosure or bankruptcy. The loans are adjustable rate mortgages with an initial fixed rate for 10 years, which then adjust annually at 2.75% over one year LIBOR. The first rate reset would occur in September, 2013. Although the borrowers are not required to make principal payments during the initial 10 year period, 54.7% of the original principal has been repaid as of September 30, 2009. There are no negative amortization loans in the pool and none of the loans are subprime, Alt A or similar type of high-default product. Based on these factors, as of September 30, 2009, the Company believes there is no OTTI and does not have the intent to sell this security and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.
 
NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly  transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
 
13.

 
OHIO LEGACY CORP

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE (continued)
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for similar assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial asset:

Investment Securities:  The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

Impaired Loans and Other Real Estate:  The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses and other real estate is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE (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, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully.  The methods for determining the fair values for securities were described previously.  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 including consideration of widening credit spreads.  Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing.  It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.  The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.
 
NOTE 9 – REGULATORY MATTERS

The Board of Directors of the Bank entered into a Consent Order (“Order”) with the Bank’s primary federal regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) dated February 17, 2009. The Order required the Board of Directors to submit a capital plan to the Assistant Deputy Controller that included specific plans to achieve and maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets of 8.75% and a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 13.25% by August 31, 2009. The Board of Directors submitted the capital plan to the OCC, which includes the engagement of an advisory firm to seek out capital investment from parties not currently affiliated with the Company or the Bank or attracting a merger partner. The Company’s management and Board of Directors are in active discussions with several parties in an attempt to achieve one of these objectives. Additionally, the capital plan calls for management to continue to manage the Bank’s assets with the goal of protecting and growing capital and reducing the level of criticized assets. However, the Company did not achieve the minimum capital ratios as of the date specified in the Order.

The Order provides that the OCC shall maintain the ability to take any action the OCC deems appropriate in fulfilling its regulatory and supervisory responsibilities during the term of the Consent Order or upon the failure of the Bank to comply with the terms of the Consent Order. Among the actions that may be taken by the OCC is the placing of the bank into receivership.

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking 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.  Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. At September 30, 2009, the Bank did not meet the definition of adequately capitalized as described above and as such is subject to certain restrictions.

Actual and required capital amounts (in thousands) and ratios are presented below at September 30, 2009, though the Bank is subject to higher capital requirements as discussed above.

NOTE 9 – REGULATORY MATTERS (continued)

The payment of dividends by the Bank to Ohio Legacy and by Ohio Legacy to shareholders is subject to restrictions by regulatory agencies.  These restrictions generally limit dividends to the sum of the current year’s and the prior two years’ retained earnings, as defined.  In addition, dividends may not reduce capital levels below the minimum regulatory requirements as described above. During 2009, the Bank could not declare dividends without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency. In addition to the dividend restrictions, the Bank is not permitted to issue brokered deposits without prior approval from its regulators and may not pay rates on deposits in excess of 75 basis points above the national average as published weekly by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank also must maintain average total assets for the current quarter at a level below that of the prior quarter. On November 16, 2009, the Company announced it had reached a definitive agreement with another party that would result in a $15 million capital injection into the Company in exchange for majority ownership.  The Company intends to use the capital to restore the Bank to “well capitalized” status. A copy of the definitive agreement was filed under Form 8-K on November 16, 2009.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Allowance for loan and lease losses.  The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, 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.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired and assigned a probable loss amount. The Company then divides the remaining loans by risk into three grades: pass, special mention and substandard. Loans with a pass grade are divided into nine separate categories. Total charge-offs for a specified time period, currently 2.25 years, are divided into the same categories and used as a starting point to estimate credit losses in each category. Other subjective factors, such as industry conditions, local economic trends and similar items are assigned a numeric value by category and are also applied to the balances in the pass grade. Historic loss percentages are applied separately to the special mention and substandard pools of loans based on actual charge-offs for each pool in total regardless of the category. In prior quarters, charge-offs were not differentiated between the pass, special mention and substandard grades and were applied equally to the total balance regardless of grade. The impact of the change was to increase the total amount of the ALLL. The summarized table below illustrates the current estimation:

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Another critical accounting policy relates to valuation of the deferred tax asset for net operating losses. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the deferred tax asset for net operating loss carryforwards and other net deferred tax assets to reduce the carrying amount of these assets to zero. Additional information is included in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

OHIO LEGACY CORP

FINANCIAL CONDITION – September 30, 2009 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2008

Assets. At September 30, 2009, assets totaled $174.0 million, down $12.6 million from $186.5 million at December 31, 2008. The composition of the balance sheet has changed significantly as the Company executed strategies to strengthen its capital position and reduce its overall risk profile.

Securities. Total securities classified as available for sale decreased by $4.6 million to $28.2 million. The portfolio consists primarily of 30-year mortgage backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), an agency guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. For the year to date, the Bank sold approximately $59.4 million of 15, 20 and 30 year mortgage backed securities and reinvested the proceeds into GNMA securities to improve its risk weighted capital ratio.   The monthly cash flow of principal and interest has been used to repay liabilities, but is available to fund loan growth or be reinvested should the Bank choose that strategy. At September 30, 2009 we believe the effective duration of the portfolio excluding equity investments was approximately 4.9%, compared to 2.1% at December 31, 2008 as a result of the strategies noted above. The increase in duration from purchasing longer average life securities can be expected to contribute to increased volatility in the market value of the portfolio for any given change in market rates. The net unrealized gain on the portfolio at September 30, 2009 was approximately $35,900, compared to a gain of $351,300 at year end.

Loans.  At September 30, 2009, the loan portfolio, net of the allowance for loan losses and deferred fees, totaled $107.0 million, a decrease of $19.8 million compared to December 31, 2008. The Company is strategically working to reduce the size and change the composition of the portfolio to lower its risk profile.

Allowance for loan losses and asset quality. The allowance for loan losses totaled $4.7 million at September 30, 2009, an increase of $1.3 million compared to $3.4 million at December 31, 2008. The amount of the allowance is based on a combination of actual experiential factors such as historical losses for each category of loans and information about specific borrowers as well as projections for various other factors, including delinquencies, general economic conditions and the outlook for specific industries, which are more subjective in nature. The increase included specific reserves of $1.3 million on ten relationships, as well as $927,100 of general reserves as a result of enhancements in the model used to estimate the allowance. The Company recognized charge-offs of $1.7 million, representing $968,400 in specific reserves and $767,100 in general reserves. Recoveries of $447,900 were recognized during the period, due primarily to a $366,800 mediated insurance settlement related to construction defects in one of the loans charged off and a recovery of $54,800 on a commercial loan that was repaid.

As a percentage of total loans, the allowance has increased from 2.61% at year end to 4.23% at the end of the third quarter. We continue to closely monitor credit quality and delinquencies as our loan portfolio seasons, and will increase the allowance for loan losses if we believe losses have been incurred.

Loans are considered nonperforming if they are impaired or if they are in nonaccrual status. Nonperforming loans totaled $7.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2008. During the first nine months of the year, 25 loans totaling approximately $6.1 million converted to nonaccrual status. Three loans totaling $389,300 paid off, nine loans totaling $1.5 million were charged off, nine loans totaling $973,500 were transferred to other real estate and specific reserves of $1.3 million were established for nine others with balances of $5.4 million.

Accrued interest receivable and other assets. Accrued interest receivable and other assets decreased by $599,200 from year end. Changes in the accounting for income taxes as the result of the net loss booked in 2008 resulted in a decrease of $570,800; other changes in prepaid assets and accrued interest arising from normal business activities comprised the remainder.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $1.4 million from year end to $147.1 million at September 30, 2009. Overall, core deposit balances decreased 1.9% to $78.7 million from $80.2 million at year end. Noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased 14.2% to $14.3 million. The decline in transaction accounts can be attributed to a consistent strategy to reduce funding to levels needed to support declining loans by lowering rates consistently over the last six months. The certificate of deposit portfolio increased $2.9 million during the period to $68.4 million or 46.5% of total deposits compared to $65.5 million or 45.0% of total deposits at year-end.  The increase was largely the result of a short-term promotion late in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first few days of 2009.

OHIO LEGACY CORP

Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  Total advances decreased $9.4 million from $27.9 million to $18.5 million at September 30, 2009. An overnight advance of $6.9 million was repaid early in the first quarter. A $3.0 million 4.89% advance that matured in January was renewed at 3.19%, and a $2.5 million term advance with a rate of 5.24% was paid off at maturity in February.

OHIO LEGACY CORP

The net loss totaled $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, or $1.09 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million or $1.70 per diluted share during the third quarter of 2008.

Net interest income.  During the three months ended September 30, 2009, net interest income was $1.1 million compared to $1.4 million the comparable quarter last year, due in large part to the decline in the net interest margin from 3.41% to 2.69%. Third quarter net earning assets declined from $15.6 million in 2008 to $8.8 million in 2009, contributing to the decline in net interest income,

Interest income. Total interest income for the quarter was $2.1 million, down $481,900 from $2.6 million in the same quarter in 2008. The minor decrease in earning assets from $167.5 million to $166.7 million was significantly impacted by the decrease in the yield on earning assets by 113 basis points from 6.16% to 5.03%.

Interest expense.  For the three months ended September 30, total interest expense was $983,400 million compared to $1.2 million in the prior year. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities from $152.0 million  to $157.9 million was more than offset by the decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities by 55 basis points from 3.02% to 2.47%.

Provision for loan losses.  The provision for loan losses totaled $2.1 million during the third quarter of 2009, compared to $609,000 for the same period the prior year. The increase comprised both specific and general reserves, primarily related to commercial real estate loans. As discussed above in the “Allowance for loan losses,” our provision for loan losses can be expected to fluctuate from period to period.

Noninterest income.  Noninterest income for the third quarter was $374,000 compared to a loss of $2.7 million for the same period the prior year. Both periods included significant unusual items. The Company recognized a gain of $232,200 on the sale of available for sale securities in 2009, compared to an other than temporary impairment charge of $2.7 million in 2008.   In 2009, gains on the sale of loans held for sale fell by $31,900 to $15,200 as a result of lower activity in the housing market. The Company recorded a write-down of other real estate of $215,500 in 2009, offset in part by a gain of $104,400 on the disposition of certain properties held in other real estate.  In 2008, losses of $436,006 and $2,400 were recorded as write downs and loss on the sale of other real estate. Service charge income declined 15.1% in 2009 to $216,200. The reduction is due to both changes in customer behavior in response to general economic conditions and a decrease in accounts previously maintained in conjunction with loan relationships.

Noninterest expense.  Total noninterest expense was essentially unchanged in the comparable quarters, despite significant variations in several categories. The relevant changes are described below.

Salary and benefits. Continued reduction and consolidation of positions resulted in a $171,800 decrease in salary and benefits.

Deposit expenses. The Company’s FDIC premium for the third quarter increased by $148,800 as a result of an increase in FDIC premiums for all insured depository institutions as part of its transition to a risk-based assessment methodology implemented earlier in the year and a revision of the Company’s premium due to changes in regulatory capital status.

Other expenses. An increase of $82,300 in the most recent quarter was primarily the result of $79,200 in commission expense related to the sale of multiple properties held in other real estate. Legal expenses related to the foreclosure of commercial real estate increased by $51,000, offset in part by a reduction in repair and maintenance expenses on other real estate.

(1)
Net of net deferred loan fees and costs and loans in process. Nonaccrual loans are included in noninterest-earning assets.
(2)
Interest rate spread represents the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
(3)
Net interest margin represents net interest income, annualized, divided by average interest-earning assets.

The net loss totaled $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, or $1.30 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million or $1.76 per share during the first three quarters of 2008.

Net interest income.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net interest income was $3.6 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same period the prior year. The decrease of $9.1 million in average net earning assets was further impacted by a decrease in the net interest margin from 3.34% to 2.83%.

Interest income. Total interest income was $6.8 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $8.1 million for the comparable period in 2008. The yield on loans dropped 0.58% during the period, from 6.90% to 6.32% as variable rate notes reset downward and new volume was added at lower rates. Average volume declined from $128.2 million to $114.2 million, as the Company continued to reduce its risk profile by lowering total loan balances. The combination of factors resulted in a decrease of $1.4 million in income. The yield on available for sale securities declined from 5.29% to 4.48% as a result of restructuring the investment portfolio to reduce risk-weighted assets to improve the risk-based capital ratio. However, the decrease was partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in the average balance, resulting in a decrease of $87,500 in income.

OHIO LEGACY CORP

Interest expense.  Total interest expense fell $709,100 to $3.2 million in 2009, compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2008, despite an increase in the average volume of interest bearing liabilities from $153.5 million to $161.8 million. Deposit expense reductions accounted for $661,600 and other borrowings contributed approximately $97,500.

Provision for loan losses.  The provision for loan losses totaled $2.6 million during the first nine months of 2009, compared to $620,500 for the same period in 2008. The increase comprises both specific and general reserves determined as part of the regular quarterly evaluation, as well as additional reserves due to a change in the method the Company uses to estimate credit loss. As discussed above in the “Allowance for loan losses,” our provision for loan losses can be expected to fluctuate from period to period.

Noninterest income.  Noninterest income was $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $(2.3) million for the first nine months of 2008. Both periods included significant unusual items. During the first nine months of 2009, a $918,200 gain on the sale of available for sale securities was recorded. This was offset in part by the recognition of an other than temporary impairment of $111,200 related to the Company’s holdings of FNMA and FHLMC preferred stock. For the same period in 2008, a $2.9 million other than temporary impairment was recorded on the same securities. Write downs of other real estate owned totaled $262,000 and $436,000 during the first three quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Noninterest expense.  Total noninterest expense increased $255,900 to $5.5 million compared to $5.2 million for the first nine months of the prior year. The significant changes are described below.

Salary and benefits. The decrease of $341,300 is due to the ongoing elimination and consolidation of positions throughout the organization.

Deposit expense and insurance fees. As disclosed in prior quarters, the FDIC increased premiums for all insured depository institutions for the first calendar quarter 2009 assessment as part of its transition to a risk-based assessment methodology. In addition, they FDIC imposed an emergency assessment for all insured depository institutions to be paid on September 30, 2009. The combination of these changes and a revision of the Company’s premium due to changes in regulatory capital status resulted in an increase of $506,700.

Other expenses. An increase of $346,100 for the first three quarters of 2009 was the result of $147,600 in legal expenses related to the foreclosure of multiple properties. Delinquent and current real estate taxes on foreclosed properties increased by $135,100.

Tax expense (benefit). As a result of a change in the tax law late in 2008 that allows net operating losses to be carried back five years, the company was able to amend its 2003 tax return and record a refund of taxes paid for that year. The refund of $289,300 was offset by a $44,400 change in accrued taxes for 2008, resulting in a tax benefit of $244,900.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

As disclosed in an 8-K on February 20, 2009, the Company entered into an Order of Consent with the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States of America. The Order requires the Bank to increase its capital to certain specified levels. As disclosed in the 10-K filed on April 3, 2009, the Board of Directors has retained the services of the investment banking firm of Stifel, Nicolaus to actively explore the options of raising private equity capital, or merging with or being acquired by another financial institution or other interested investors to achieve compliance with the Order of Consent.

The Company remains steadfast in its commitment to be a strong, community partner providing the best financial solutions for our local customers. However, as part of the efforts to comply with the Order, in addition to raising capital, we intend to reduce the size of the balance sheet. Besides selling real estate acquired in settlement of impaired loans as noted below, other strategies may include the sale of securities or loans, participating loans to other financial institutions and limiting the growth of loans and deposits through pricing initiatives. Successful execution of these interim strategies will enable the Company to move forward from a position of strength.

OHIO LEGACY CORP

The Company continues to actively work to reduce its portfolio of Other Real Estate. During the third quarter, five properties were recorded as other real estate at a value of $500,300 and 12 properties were sold for gross proceeds of $415,700. As of the report date, 14 of the 19 properties in the portfolio were listed for sale. These disposals benefit the Company both in terms of eliminating the expenses associated with their acquisition and maintenance and allowing the funds to be invested in interest earning assets.
 
On November 16, 2009, the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement with another party that would result in a $15.0 million capital injection into the Company in exchange for majority ownership. The agreement is subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders as well as applicable regulatory agencies. Upon approval, the Company intends to rebuild the Bank into a profitable entity and to take advantage of the opportunities the current banking landscape presents.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There have been no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations since December 31, 2008.

At September 30, 2009, we had no active unconsolidated, related special purpose entities, nor did we engage in derivatives and hedging contracts, such as interest rate swaps, that may expose us to liabilities greater than the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Our investment policy prohibits engaging in derivatives contracts for speculative trading purposes; however, we may pursue certain contracts, such as interest rate swaps, in our efforts to execute a sound and defensive interest rate risk management policy.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity refers to our ability to fund loan demand and customers’ deposit withdrawal needs and to meet other commitments and contingencies. The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure sufficient cash flow to meet all of our financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion in the context of managing the Company’s interest rate risk exposure. This ability depends on our financial strength, asset quality and the types of deposit and loan instruments we offer to our customers.

Our principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and security repayments and maturities, sales of securities, borrowings from the FHLB and capital transactions. Alternative sources of funds include repurchase agreements and brokered CDs and the sale of loans. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. We maintain investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of our need for funds, our expected deposit flows, yields available on short-term liquid assets and the objectives of our asset/liability management program.

We have implemented a liquidity contingency funding plan that identifies liquidity thresholds and red flags that may provide evidence of impending liquidity crises. Additionally, the liquidity contingency plan details specific actions to be taken by management and the Board of Directors and identifies sources of emergency liquidity, both asset and liability-based, should we encounter a liquidity crisis. We actively monitor liquidity risk and analyze various scenarios that could impact our ability to access emergency funding in conjunction with our asset/liability and interest rate risk management activities.

At September 30, 2009, the balances in cash and cash equivalents were $14.4 million higher than at year-end. Cash and cash equivalents represented 14.9% of total assets at September 30, 2009 and 6.2% of total assets at December 31, 2008. The higher cash balances are an integral part of the Company’s strategy to reduce its risk profile.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders’ equity was $6.4 million at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $3.1 million from the prior year-end balance. The reduction in equity was due to a net loss for the period.  See Note 9 to the financial statements for a discussion of the Bank’s capital resources.

 
26.

 

OHIO LEGACY CORP

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking 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.  Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. At September 30, 2009, the Bank did not meet the definition of adequately capitalized as described above and as such is subject to certain restrictions.

On February 17, 2009, the Company entered into an Order of Consent with the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States of America. The Order requires the Bank to increase its Tier 1 capital to at least 8.75% of adjusted total assets and its total risk based capital to at least 13.25% of risk-weighted assets by August 31, 2009. To have achieved both those levels at September 30, 2009 the Bank would have needed approximately $9.8 million of additional capital.

The Board of Directors has retained the services of the investment banking firm of Stifel, Nicolaus to actively explore the options of raising private equity capital, or merging with or being acquired by another financial institution or other interested investors. The Company has been in active discussions with potential partners since that time.

The payment of dividends by the Bank to Ohio Legacy and by Ohio Legacy to shareholders is subject to restrictions by regulatory agencies.  These restrictions generally limit dividends to the sum of the current year’s and the prior two years’ retained earnings, as defined.  In addition, dividends may not reduce capital levels below the minimum regulatory requirements as described above. During 2009, the Bank could not declare dividends without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency. In addition to the dividend restrictions, the Bank is not permitted to issue brokered deposits without prior approval from its regulators.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2009, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of Ohio Legacy Corp’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in Ohio Legacy Corp’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Ohio Legacy’s Corp’s internal control over financial reporting.
