CECIL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011
 
1.           GENERAL
 
In the opinion of Cecil Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2012 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  These statements are condensed and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.
 
2.           FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Estimates are used when accounting for uncollectible loans, depreciation and amortization, intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and contingencies, among others.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
3.           RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
FASB ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income”
 
                This ASU increases the prominence of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) in financial statements and provides two options for presenting OCI. The ASU eliminates the current placement near the statement of shareholders’ equity or detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. The ASU provides for an OCI statement to be included with the net income statement, and together the two will make a statement of total comprehensive income. Alternatively, businesses can have an OCI statement separate from a net income statement, but the two statements will have to appear consecutively within a financial report. The ASU does not affect the calculation of OCI. The ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
FASB ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) –Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”
 
                This ASU amends the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The ASU clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and changes the principles or requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The ASU will require new disclosures for any transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, not just significant transfers, and further expands focus on Level 3 measurements, including quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for all Level 3 measurements, a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, and a description of the valuation processes. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
 
 
Page 7

 
 
FASB ASU 2011-03, “Transfer and Servicing (Topic 860) –Reconsideration of Effective Control of Repurchase Agreements”
 
                This ASU improves the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The ASU removes from the assessment of effective control: (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation related to that criterion. Other criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control are not changed by the amendments in this ASU. The ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share are computed after adjusting the denominator of the basic earnings per share computation for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.  The dilutive effects of options, warrants, and their equivalents are computed using the “treasury stock” method.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, all 523,076 options and warrants were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect was antidilutive.  All earnings per share calculations have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the 2-for-1 stock split, effected through a 100% stock dividend, declared by the Board of Directors in May 2011.  The calculation of net (loss) income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

5.       ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
 
    In November 2009, the Company approved the granting of 120,250 restricted stock awards with a fair market value of $2.00 per share.  The awards vest over a period of five years.  All restricted stock awards have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the 2-for-1 stock split declared by the Board of Directors in May 2011.  A summary of the Company’s activity and related information for restricted stock for the periods indicated is as follows:

6.       ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

    The Company applies guidance issued by FASB regarding fair value measurements, which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles.  The guidance applies only to fair value measurements required or permitted under current accounting pronouncements, but does not require any new fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants as of the measurement date.  The guidance also expands disclosures about financial instruments that are measured at fair value and eliminates the use of large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets.  The disclosure’s emphasis is on the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect on the measurement on earnings for the period.  The adoption of the guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  For Level 1 assets, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets.  For Level 2 assets, the Company uses information from a third party pricing service, which is estimated using market prices of comparable instruments or other methods, such as the present value of future cash flows.  The following table shows the value (in thousands) at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of each major category of assets measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, which consists solely of investment securities available-for-sale.  The changes in fair value were reflected as a component of other comprehensive income and did not affect net income.

    We may be required from time to time to measure certain other financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.  For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the following table provides in thousands the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the assets.  For both other real estate owned and impaired loans, Level 3 assets are valued at the lesser of the unpaid principal balance of the loan, or the appraised value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated selling costs, as determined by a third party appraiser.  There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  There were no transfers between valuation levels for any assets during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

7.           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FASB ASC 825-10-50 requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for both its on and off-balance-sheet financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Changes in estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on these fair values.

Investment Securities - The fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans receivable - The fair value of the loan portfolio is estimated by evaluating homogeneous categories of loans with similar financial and credit risk characteristics. Loans are segregated by types, such as residential mortgage, commercial real estate and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable-rate interest terms.

The fair values of each loan category are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for estimated prepayments. Assumptions regarding prepayment estimates and discount rates are judgmentally determined by using available market information.

Restricted Investment Securities - The fair value of the Company’s investment in stock of the FHLB and FRB approximates its carrying value.

Deposits - The fair values of deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation, adjusted for estimated decay rates, that applies interest rates currently offered for funding sources with similar maturities. Assumptions regarding discount rates and decay estimates are judgmentally determined by using available market information.

Junior Subordinated Debentures – The fair value was estimated by computing the discounted value of contractual cash flows payable at current interest rates for obligations with similar remaining terms.

Advances from the FHLB - The fair value of FHLB advances was estimated by computing the discounted value of contractual cash flows payable at current interest rates for obligations with similar remaining terms.

Other Borrowed Funds – The fair value was estimated by computing the discounted value of contractual cash flows payable at current interest rates for obligations with similar remaining terms.

Commitments to Extend Credit - The Company charges fees for commitments to extend credit. Interest rates on loans for which these commitments are extended are normally committed for periods of less than one month. Fees charged on standby letters of credit and other financial guarantees are deemed to be immaterial
 
 
Page 11

 
 
and these guarantees are expected to be settled at face amount or expire unused. It is impractical to assign any fair value to these commitments.
 
The estimated fair values of financial instruments (in thousands) at June 30, 2012 are as follows:

The securities with unrealized holding losses are impaired due to declines in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates. None of these securities have exhibited a decline in value due to changes in credit risk. Additionally, the Company has the intent and ability to hold the mortgage-backed securities until they mature, and the equity securities until the foreseeable future, does not expect to realize losses on any of the investments, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell. Therefore, management does not consider the declines in fair value to be other than temporary.

9.           CREDIT QUALITY OF LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
The Company has segregated its loan portfolio into six segments, including construction and land development, 1-4 family residential, multi-family residential, commercial real estate, commercial business, and consumer.  The Company’s primary market area is in Northeastern Maryland in Cecil and Harford Counties, so exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in these counties.
 
Construction lending primarily involves lending for construction of single family residences, although the Bank does lend funds for the construction of commercial properties and multi-family real estate.  All loans for the construction of speculative sale homes have a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80%.  The Bank has financed the construction of non-residential properties on a case by case basis.  Loan proceeds are disbursed during the construction phase according to a draw schedule based on the stage of completion.  Construction projects are inspected by contracted inspectors or bank personnel.

Construction loans are underwritten on the basis of the estimated value of the property as completed. The Bank originates loans secured by raw land, which are generally granted to developers have terms of up to three years.  The substantial majority of land loans have a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 75%.  Land loans have a higher level of risk than loans for the purchase of existing homes since collateral values can only be estimated at the time the loan is approved.  The Bank has sought to minimize this risk by offering such financing primarily to builders and developers to whom the Bank has loaned funds in the past and to persons who have previous experience in such projects.
 
The Bank offers fixed and adjustable rate conventional mortgage loans on one-to-four family residential dwellings.  Most loans are originated in amounts up to $350,000 on properties located in the Bank’s primary market area.  These loans are generally for terms of 15, 20 and 30 years amortized on a monthly basis with interest and principal due each month.  The Bank retains all adjustable rate mortgage loans it originates and sells the majority of fixed rate loans, primarily to FHLMC, with servicing retained by the Bank.  The retention of adjustable rate loans helps reduce the Bank’s exposure to rising interest rates.  However, it is possible that during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of the interest cost to the borrower.
 
The Bank originates multi-family residential loans in its market area.  These loans are generally larger and involve greater risks than one-to-four family residential loans.  Because payments on these loans are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the property, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.  The Bank seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including limiting the size and loan-to-value ratios.  The loans typically have terms of 20 to 40 years, with rate adjustments every one, three, or five years.  They generally have imbedded interest rate floors, with no interest rate ceilings, and have no interest rate change limitations.
 
The Bank primarily originates commercial real estate loans in its market area.  These loans are generally larger and involve greater risks that one-to-four family residential loans.  Because payments on these loans are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the property, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.  The Bank seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including limiting the size and loan-to-value ratios.  The loans typically have terms of 20 to 40 years, with rate adjustments every one, three, or five years.  They generally have imbedded interest rate floors, with no interest rate ceilings, and have no interest rate change limitations.  The Bank’s commercial real estate loans are typically secured by retail or wholesale establishments, motels/hotels, service industries, and industrial or warehouse facilities.  During 2011, the Bank began making loans under the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Section 7(a) program, under which the SBA guarantees up to 75% of loans of up to $5 million for the purchase or expansion of small businesses.  The Bank may sell the guaranteed portion of SBA loans into the secondary market and retain the unguaranteed portion in its portfolio.

The Bank offers secured and unsecured commercial business loans and lines of credit to businesses located in its primary market area.  Most business loans have a one-year term, while lines of credit can remain open for longer periods.  All owners, partners, and officers must sign the loan agreement.  The security for a business loan depends on the amount borrowed, the business involved, and the strength of the borrower’s firm.  Commercial business lending entails significant risk, as the payments on such loans may depend upon the successful operation or management of the business involved.  Although the Bank attempts to limit its risk of loss on such loans by limiting the amount and the term, and by requiring personal guarantees of the principals of the business, the risk of loss on these loans is substantially greater than the risk of loss from residential real estate lending.
 
The Bank’s consumer loans consist of automobile loans, deposit account loans, home improvement loans, and other consumer loans.  The loans are generally offered for terms of up to five years at fixed interest rates.  Consumer loans are generally originated at higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans because of their higher risk.  Repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment as a result of damage, loss, or depreciation.  In addition, collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy.
 
On an ongoing basis, the Bank assigns a grade to each of its loans.  The internal grades are pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss.  Loans graded pass are loans where the borrower exhibits a strong balance sheet position and good earnings and cash flow history.  Loans graded special mention show potential weaknesses that deserve the Bank’s close attention.  If these potential weaknesses are not corrected, they may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.  Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Substandard loans have a well defined weakness that could

jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.  Loans graded doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly improbable.  Assets graded loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an asset is not warranted.  The classification does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but that it is not practical to defer charging off the loan even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.
