REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

McIntosh Bancshares, Inc.

Jackson, Georgia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company’s subsidiary, McIntosh State Bank (the “Bank”), to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). At December 31, 2009, the Bank’s capital ratios are below the required levels. In addition, the Bank has suffered recurring operating losses. The Bank has filed a capital plan with the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance outlining its plans for attaining the required levels of regulatory capital. To date, notification for the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance regarding acceptance or rejection of its capital plan has not been received. Failure to meet the capital requirements and interim capital targets included in the capital plan exposes the Bank to regulatory sanctions that may include restrictions on operations and growth, mandatory asset dispositions, and seizure of the institution. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. to continue as a going concern. The ability of McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, one of which is regulatory action, including acceptance of the Bank’s capital plan. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. be unable to continue as a going concern.

McINTOSH BANCSHARES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries provide a full range of banking and bank-related services to individual and corporate customers in the Georgia counties of Butts, Jasper and Henry and surrounding areas. McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries are subject to competition from other financial institutions and are also subject to the regulations of certain governmental agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The accounting and reporting policies of McIntosh Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of McIntosh Bancshares, Inc (the “Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, McIntosh State Bank (the “Bank”) and McIntosh Financial Services, Inc., collectively known as the “Company”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change are the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures, or in satisfaction of loans, the valuation of deferred taxes, and the market valuation reserve on investment securities available for sale. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate and the market valuation reserve is appropriate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance 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 Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), and a broker-dealer, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one day periods.

Investment Securities

The Company classifies its securities in one of three categories: available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, or trading. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities for which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All other securities not included in held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale. At December 31, 2009 and 2008 all investment securities were classified as available for sale.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investment Securities (Continued)

 

Investment securities held to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Investment securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of the related tax effect. Other investments are reported at cost and, accordingly, earnings are reported when interest is accrued or when dividends are received.

Premiums and discounts on all noncallable investment securities are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income on the straight-line and interest methods over the period to the maturity of the related investment. Premiums on callable investment securities are amortized to interest income on a straight-line method over the period to the call date of the related investment. Discounts on callable investment securities are accreted to interest income on a straight-line method over the period to maturity of the related investment. Premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest income using level yield over the period to maturity of the related security, taking into consideration assumed prepayment patterns.

Management evaluates investment securities for other than temporary impairment on an annual basis. A decline in the market value of any investment below cost, that is deemed other than temporary, is charged to earnings if the decline in value is deemed to be credit related. The decline in value attributed to the noncredit related factors is recognized in other comprehensive income or a new net cost basis in the security is established.

Gains or losses on disposition are computed using the specific identification method for all securities except equity investments. Gains or losses on disposition of equity investments are computed using the average cost method.

Loans

Loans are reported at the gross amount outstanding net of the valuation allowance for loan losses. Interest income is generally recognized over the terms of the loan based on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and direct origination costs, which are approximately the same on most loans, are recognized at the time the loan is recorded on the books. If the collectibility of interest appears doubtful, accrual is discontinued. Accrued interest, which appears doubtful of collection, is reversed against interest income if accrued in the current year or charged to the allowance for loan losses if accrued in prior years. Payments received on non-accrual loans are recorded as a reduction to the loan’s balance. Accrual of interest is resumed if management believes a borrower’s financial position has improved sufficient to support the debt and demonstrated through payment history.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Loans or relationships exceeding $400,000 on nonaccrual or internally graded Substandard or Doubtful are reviewed for impairment. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price, or at the fair value of the collateral of the loan if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest income from impaired loans is recognized when received.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. The allowance represents an amount which, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The Bank’s practice is to charge-off loans (in whole

or part) when the credit (1) becomes 120 days past due and is not real estate secured, (2) is deemed collateral dependent and impaired when secured by real estate, or (3) is internally rated Loss. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay, overall portfolio quality, and review of specific nonperforming loans. Bank regulators may make the Bank increase the allowance for loan losses based on their examination results.

Management’s quantitative and qualitative assessment of allowance adequacy considers loans identified with more than the normal risk of repayment or impaired credits, a historical loss experience factor by loan category, and a qualitative factor considering national, regional, and local economic conditions, industry specific prospects, and collateral and margin estimates by loan category. For loans considered impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value, or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Historical loss experience applies to performing loans where management is unaware of specific circumstances that would lead it to believe collectability of principal and interest is in doubt. Qualitative factors are applied to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses and reflect the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general loan losses in the portfolio.

Periodic revisions are made to the allowance when circumstances which necessitate such revisions become known. Recognized losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses, while subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed using primarily the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to forty years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while major renewals and betterments are capitalized. For federal tax reporting purposes, depreciation is computed using primarily accelerated methods.

Other Real Estate

Other real estate represents properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure. Other real estate is initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated disposal costs. Any write-down to fair value up to 90 days after transfer to other real estate is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Costs of improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding other real estate and valuation adjustments subsequent to 90 days of transfer are expensed. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes (Continued)

 

In the event the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities results in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset is required. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of the deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.

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 percent likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets purchased in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be tested annually for impairment, or whenever events occur that may indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount is not probable. In the event of an impairment, the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value would be charged to earnings. The carrying amount of goodwill, which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, totaled $600,743 at December 31, 2008. During 2009, the Company charged $600,743 in goodwill to earnings due to impairment. In 2008, there was no charge to earnings for impairment of goodwill.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period which totaled 3,252,581 and 2,813,389 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Inclusion of potential common shares for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008 would have been anti-dilutive; therefore, diluted loss per share amounts are not presented. There were 113,767 and 199,892 anti-dilutive stock options outstanding at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Company accounts for its defined benefit plan under Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) Topic 715, Retirement Benefits, (“ASC 715”). The under funded status of the Company’s defined benefit post retirement plan is recognized as a liability on the balance sheet. Changes in the plan’s funded status are reflected in other comprehensive income. Net actuarial gains and losses and adjustments to prior service costs that are not recorded as components of the net periodic benefit cost are charged to other comprehensive income.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718-10 Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). This statement requires a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is typically the vesting period. Refer to note 11 for more information about the Company’s stock based compensation program.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and unrecognized pension obligations, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Reclassifications

Certain 2008 amounts have been reclassified to conform with 2009 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard which established the ASC to become the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities, with the exception of guidance issued by the SEC and its staff. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but rather is expected to simplify accounting research by organizing current GAAP into approximately 90 accounting topics. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure. The Company adopted this accounting standard in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of this accounting standard, which was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, (“ASC 855”) establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC 855 defines the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855 became effective for the Company’s financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”) affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. ASC 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The new accounting guidance amended prior guidance to expand certain disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC 820 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-5, under ASC 820. ASC 820 provides guidance for measuring the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. In such instances, a reporting entity is required to

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

 

measure fair value utilizing a valuation technique that uses (1) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, (2) quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets, or (3) another valuation technique that is consistent with the existing principles of ASC 820, such as an income approach or market approach. The new authoritative accounting guidance also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The foregoing new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC 820 became effective for the Company’s financial statements on October 1, 2009, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, (“ASC 825”) requires an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends prior guidance to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The Company adopted this accounting standard in preparing its financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2009. As ASC 825 amended only the disclosure requirements about the fair value of financial instruments in interim periods, the adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, (“ASC 320”) amended other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) guidance in GAAP for debt securities by requiring a write-down when fair value is below amortized cost in circumstances where: (1) an entity has the intent to sell a security; (2) it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) an entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. If an entity intends to sell a security or if it is more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, an OTTI write-down is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. If an entity does not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and an amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. This accounting standard does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to OTTI write-downs of equity securities. This accounting standard also extends disclosure requirements related to debt and equity securities to interim reporting periods. ASC 320 became effective for the Company’s financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 2. REGULATORY OVERSIGHT, CAPITAL ADEQUACY, OPERATING LOSSES, LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. However, due to the Company’s financial results, the uncertainty throughout the U.S. banking industry and other matters discussed below, a substantial doubt exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in addressing the issues that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:

Regulatory Oversight

As described in Note 13, Regulatory Matters, the Bank is currently operating under heightened regulatory scrutiny and has entered into a Cease and Desist Order (the “Order”) with the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance (the “DBF”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

The Bank has submitted reports to the DBF and FDIC as required per the Order. All aspects of the Order have been adhered to or a plan is in place to reach compliance in a reasonable time frame. The Bank has formed a Directors Committee to oversee compliance with the Order as well as a Capital Sub-Committee. The Bank has a detailed process in place for monitoring liquidity and capital as well as contingency plans for short term needs if they arise.

Capital Adequacy

As of December 31, 2009, the Bank did not meet the requirements of an “adequately capitalized” institution under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “adequately capitalized”, the Bank must maintain minimum Total Risk-based, Tier 1 Risk-based and Tier 1 Leveraged capital ratios of 8%, 4% and 4%, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the Bank’s Total Risk-based, Tier 1 Risk-based and Tier 1 Leveraged capital ratios were 7.8%, 6.6% and 4.6%, respectively, and as a result the Bank became classified as “undercapitalized”. In light of the requirement to improve the capital ratios of the Bank, management is pursuing a number of strategic alternatives. Current market conditions for banking institutions, the overall uncertainty in financial markets and the Bank’s high level of non-performing assets are potential barriers to the success of these strategies. Failure to adequately address the regulatory concerns may result in actions by the banking regulators. If current adverse market factors continue for a prolonged period of time, new further severe adverse market factors emerge, and/or the Bank is unable to successfully execute its plans or adequately address regulatory concerns in a sufficiently timely manner, it could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s business, results of operations and financial position.

A Capital Restoration Plan has been written that addresses the Bank’s commitment to increase its capital position to a Tier 1 level that would be equal or exceed required capital standards. The Plan includes the following: balance sheet shrinkage, sale of other real estate, the Capital Sub-Committee offering potential solutions, including several means of raising capital, potential closure and sale of existing branches and other asset reduction options. The Plan also provides projections for capital levels through 2011.

Operating Losses

The Company incurred a net loss of $14.1 million and $8.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Management has made efforts to reduce expenses, including a reduction in workforce, salary reductions, termination of the Senior Executive Retirement Plan, cessation of director fees, and other general cost-cutting measures and continues to examine areas where further reductions in cost are possible.

NOTE 2. REGULATORY OVERSIGHT, CAPITAL ADEQUACY, OPERATING LOSSES, LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS (Continued)

Operating Losses (Continued)

 

Interest reversals on non-performing loans and increases to non-performing and foreclosed assets could continue in 2010 and hinder the Company’s ability to improve net interest income. While excess liquidity brings comfort to depositors, the Bank earns approximately 25 basis points on the liquidity but pays more on the deposits generating the liquidity causing a negative spread. Also, increases to the provision for loan losses and further write-down or loss on the sale of other real estate could continue in 2010, which will negatively impact the Company’s ability to generate net income during the year.

Liquidity

The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity are deposits, the scheduled repayments on loans, and interest and maturities of investments. The majority of the Bank’s securities have been classified as available for sale, which means they are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of other comprehensive loss. If necessary, the Bank has the ability to sell these investment securities to manage interest sensitivity gap or liquidity. Cash and due from banks and federal funds sold may also be utilized to meet liquidity needs. Due to the Bank’s undercapitalized status, the Bank is unable to accept, rollover, or renew any brokered deposits. As the existing brokered deposits mature over the next year, it will create a minor strain on liquidity; therefore, management has initiated several actions to help alleviate this pressure. Based on current and expected liquidity needs and sources, management expects to be able to meet obligations at least through December 31, 2010.

 

NOTE 3. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank or in cash. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank’s reserve requirement was approximately $4,756,000 and $4,869,000, respectively. The Bank maintained cash balances which were adequate to meet the requirements as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment at least annually, or more frequently when market or economic conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, among other factors. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government, or its agencies, and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. No unrealized losses at December 31, 2009 or 2008 is considered to be other than temporary.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had $17,680,000 and $50,856,000, respectively, in brokered deposits outstanding. The daily average of such deposits totaled $38,320,000 and $53,382,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the weighted average cost of funds on these deposits was 3.91% and 4.44%, respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average rate on these deposits was 3.80% and 3.99%, respectively. Brokered deposits mature from January 28, 2010 through December 8, 2011.

NOTE 8. OTHER BORROWED FUNDS

Other borrowed funds are summarized as follows:

 

     December 31,
     2009    2008

FHLB advances

   $   14,000,000    $ 16,000,000

Repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings

   $ 14,894,243    $   16,656,504
             

The Bank has invested in FHLB stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with the FHLB. Advances on the credit lines are secured by liens against the Bank’s qualifying real estate loans. Total qualifying real estate loans eligible as collateral amounted to $40,724,000 and $61,945,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The amount of qualifying real estate loans eligible was reduced during 2008 as the Bank opted to instead pledge commercial real estate loans as collateral for the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window due to greater availability on eligible collateral. Outstanding borrowings totaled $14,000,000 and $16,000,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. All advances outstanding at December 31, 2009 carry fixed interest rates ranging from 2.86% to 4.17%, require monthly or quarterly payments of interest only, and mature through May 23, 2018. The FHLB has the option to convert $4,000,000 of the advances at dates through May 2013 to advances bearing interest based on LIBOR. At December 31, 2009, there was no remaining credit availability for the Bank.

The Bank has access to the FRB discount window. Advances are collateralized by eligible loans including commercial real estate mortgages, commercial non real estate loans and agricultural loans. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had $37,979,000 and $20,108,000, respectively, in eligible loans as collateral providing a borrowing capacity of approximately $15,200,000 and $15,100,000, respectively. Draws from the discount window are intended to be of a short term nature. The Bank had no borrowings from the FRB outstanding at December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase amounted to $758,493 and $440,757 at December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively, mature on a daily basis, and are secured by securities with fair values of $1,257,383 and $1,797,996, respectively. The weighted average cost of funds on these agreements was 0.25% and 0.40% for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

United States Treasury, Tax, and Loan note obligations totaled $135,750 and $215,747 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are callable by the Treasury, and are secured by mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $242,343 and $270,618 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted average cost of funds for this agreement was 0.00% and 1.44% for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Parent Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. The plan calls for benefits to be paid to eligible employees at retirement based primarily upon years of service with the Parent Company and compensation rates for the last five years. Contributions to the plan reflect benefits attributed to employees’ services to date, as well as services expected to be performed in the future.

Pension expense includes the following components:

   5.63   5.80

Increase in future compensation levels

   Graded      4.00

Expected long-term rate of return

   8.25   8.25

In consultation with the plan’s investment management company and actuary, the Parent Company, as plan sponsor, arrives at an assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets which approximates the yield on AA rated corporate bonds. This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected on funds invested given funding obligations, future compensation levels, and inflation. The expected long-term rate of return is not necessarily a reflection of recent experience but rather a historical estimate of future long-term rates of return. Anticipated returns for the plan are not reduced by taxes and assume the plan continues in place for the foreseeable future.

The Parent Company reviews the plan’s asset allocation and investment mix at least annually. Plan assets may be invested in a mix of the following major classes: equity – large cap; equity – small and mid cap; equity – international; short and intermediate bond; and money market. Investment strategies are based, in part, on the Company’s overall assessment of the state of the economy and its assumed direction, the Federal Reserve Board’s bias in setting monetary policy, fiscal policy and its projected impact, and the direction of short and long-term interest rates. Investment strategies are guided by an investment policy that calls for comparing the investment performance of the investment management company to an appropriate benchmark. This evaluation is conducted over a three-year horizon and also considers the investment manager’s performance relative to their discipline.

The estimated benefit payments by year to plan participants over the next 10 years are as follows:

 

2010

   $ 14,000

2011

     178,000

2012

NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

Defined Benefit Pension Plan (Continued)

 

The Parent Company made no contribution to the plan in 2009 or 2008. During 2010, the Company expects to contribute approximately $435,000 to the plan.

Profit Sharing Plan

The Parent Company sponsors an Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) Employee Savings Plan that permits an employee to defer annual cash compensation. The Parent Company’s Board of Directors determines the Parent Company’s contribution, which was approximately $148,000 in 2008 and the Company did not make a contribution in 2009.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Bank has entered into salary continuation agreements with its directors, its chief executive officer and five other officers. During 2009, six of the agreements were terminated creating an expense reversal of $997,662 and leaving four agreements remaining. In 2009 and 2008, the Bank expensed $51,326 and $384,987 for the accrual of future salary continuation benefits. The Bank has elected to fund the salary continuation liability with single premium universal life insurance policies. In 2009 and 2008, cash value income totaled $296,039 and $285,911, respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, other assets included $6,815,226 and $6,560,968, respectively, in surrender value, and other liabilities included salary continuation benefits payable of $948,264 and $1,977,729, respectively.

The Bank also maintains split dollar insurance on its chief executive officer. In 2009 and 2008, the increase in cash surrender value recorded in income totaled $14,955 and $11,649, respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, other assets include accrued cash surrender value of $228,309 and $213,354, respectively.

 

NOTE 11. STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company’s Stock Option Plans (1998 and 2006) (the “Plans”) reserve a maximum of 248,767 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2009. Options are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant. These options expire 10 years from the grant date and vest between four and six years. The Plans provide that upon exercise, the number of options awarded will be adjusted for any stock dividends occurring since the grant date. Therefore, the number of shares granted and the weighted average exercise prices have been adjusted for any stock dividends that have been declared since the first options were granted under the Plans.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. Expected volatilities are based on a pool of similarly situated and traded Georgia community banks. The Company considers historical data and peer group data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is based on the short-cut method and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. No options were granted during the years ended December 31, 2009 or 2008.

NOTE 12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had direct and indirect loans outstanding to or for the benefit of certain of the Bank’s executive officers, directors, and their related interests of $1,674,032 and $2,521,696, respectively. During 2009 and 2008, $11,573,474 and $5,059,806 of such loans were made and repayments totaled $12,421,138 and $4,732,096, respectively. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business in conformity with normal credit terms, including interest rates and collateral requirements prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other borrowers. These individuals and their related interests also maintain customary demand and time deposit accounts at the Bank which amounted to $4,127,689 and $4,343,038 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

NOTE 13. REGULATORY MATTERS

The Parent Company and the Bank are subject to various capital requirements administered by the regulatory authorities. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The regulations require the Company to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 13. REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following tables) of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2009, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as under capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be considered well capitalized and adequately capitalized (as defined) under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must maintain minimum Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and Total risk-based ratios as set forth in the tables.

       $ 21,737      $ 33,011      $ 23,103      $ 34,118   

Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends which the Bank may pay without obtaining prior approval. Under current state banking laws, the approval of the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance will be required if the total of all dividends declared in the calendar year exceeds 50 percent of the net profits for the previous calendar year, and the ratio of equity capital to adjusted total assets is less than 6 percent. At December 31, 2009, there was no stockholders’ equity of the Bank available for the payment of dividends after that date to the Parent Company.

Due to its current condition and results of operation, the Company entered into an informal agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta in 2008 and the Bank entered into an Order to Cease and Desist (“Order”) with the DBF, in consultation with the FDIC, in the fourth quarter of 2009. These regulatory agreements are designed to help the Company and Bank return to profitability and capital adequacy by improving asset quality. Specifically, the agreements provide for reducing troubled assets; limiting credit to troubled borrowers; maintaining an adequate allowance for loans losses; revising policies to more comprehensively address commercial real estate lending; maintaining a Tier One leverage capital ratio of 8% or more, a Tier One risked-based capital ratio of 6% or more at the Company and 8% or more at the Bank, and a Total risked-based capital ratio of 10% or more; prohibiting the Bank from paying dividends to the Company without prior approval; prohibiting the Company from paying dividends to shareholders without prior approval; prohibiting the Company from incurring debt without prior approval; and prohibiting the Company from repurchasing stock without prior approval. The Bank is presently unable to achieve the Tier One leverage and Total risked-based capital provisions of the agreements but is negotiating for additional capital to be in line with the provisions of the regulatory agreements.

The Bank is actively working with the DBF and FDIC to meet the requirements of the Order. All required information has been submitted. The Bank has developed plans to strengthen its problem asset management function and to reduce the level of problem assets on its balance sheet over a period of time. The strategic plan and management plan has been updated to provide a roadmap for the Company to work through the current environment and improve the financial condition of the Bank. The Bank is in ongoing dialogue with its regulators to comply with the terms of the Order.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 14. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

On December 29, 2008, the Company issued 441,605 shares of common stock to certain directors and executive officers for aggregate proceeds of $3,024,994, less a placement fee of $40,375.

On January 28, 2009, common shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation allowing for the issuance of one or more series of preferred stock. The articles of incorporation were amended to allow the issuance of up to 10 million shares of preferred stock at no par value. Preferred stock can be issued with rights and conditions that might among other things restrict dividends on the common stock, dilute the voting power of the common stock, and reduce the market price for the common stock. The Company’s board of directors is authorized to issue preferred stock from time to time, with full or limited voting powers, or without voting powers, and with all designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions upon each series of preferred stock.

 

NOTE 15. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, commitments to extend credit totaled $17,674,859 and $24,490,071, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, commitments under letters of credit aggregated $1,155,447 and $1,284,725, respectively. In 2009 and 2008, the Bank was not required to perform on any letters of credit.

The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the other party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment; and income-producing commercial properties on those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

 

NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant

 

26


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

 

assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the Company’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. These levels are:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The Company utilizes fair value measures to record fair value adjustments on certain assets and liabilities and to complete fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Other asset categories that are affected by periodic adjustments to fair value include: goodwill, impaired loans, and other real estate. The Company elects to disclose on a prospective basis. Additionally, the Company is required to disclose, but not record, the fair value of other financial instruments.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used by the Company for assets and liabilities which are either recorded or disclosed at fair value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions, and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, that are traded by dealers and brokers in active over-the-counter markets, and money market funds. Level 2 securities include U. S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipals bonds, and corporate debt securities. Level 3 securities include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Other Investments

The carrying value of other investments is estimated to approximate fair value.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are judged for impairment. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management

 

27


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Loans (Continued)

 

measures impairment based on one of three methods, including discounted cash flows, market value of similar debt, or fair value of collateral if repayment of the loan is dependent upon the sale of the underlying collateral. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with ASC 820, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

For disclosure purposes, the fair value of fixed rate loans which are not considered impaired, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. For unimpaired variable rate loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable.

Other Real Estate

Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The carrying value of cash surrender value of life insurance approximates fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill is subject to periodic impairment testing. A discounted cash flow valuation method is used in the completion of impairment testing. This valuation method requires a significant degree of management judgment. In the event the projected discounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation model. As such, the Company classifies goodwill subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and certain money market deposits are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for funding of similar maturities to the estimated average life for each type of deposit. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

 

28


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

 

Borrowed Funds

The fair value of fixed rate and convertible FHLB advances is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar advances would be drawn by the Company. For variable rate FHLB advances, the carrying value approximates fair value. The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair value.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments (commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit) are generally short-term and at variable interest rates. Therefore, both the carrying value and the fair value associated with these instruments are immaterial.

Limitations

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

Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

On December 23, 2008, the Company entered into a Debenture Agreement with Redemptus Group, LLC (“Redemptus”) pursuant to which the Company would issue to Redemptus $8 million in debentures as were disclosed in the 8K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2008. The terms of the Debenture Agreement were extended until June 30, 2009 as was disclosed in the 8K filed April 6, 2009. The Company and Redemptus were unable to consummate the transaction. Redemptus and the Company remain in negotiations regarding the Debenture Agreement as well as other capital alternatives.

The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. With the exception of the Redemptus deal described above, no subsequent events were identified that would have required a change to the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.
