The unrealized losses on the securities held in the portfolio are not considered other than temporary and have not been recognized into income. This decision is based on the Company’s ability and intent to hold any potentially impaired security until maturity. The performance of the security is based on the contractual terms of the agreement, the extent of the impairment and the financial condition and credit quality of the issuer. The decline in market value is considered temporary and a result of changes in interest rates and other market variables.

The Bank uses an eight tier risk rating system to grade its commercial loans. The grade of a loan may change during the life of the loans. The risk ratings are described as follows:

 

Risk Grade 1 (Excellent) - Prime loans based on liquid collateral, with adequate margin or supported by strong financial statements. Probability of serious financial deterioration is unlikely. High liquidity, minimum risk, strong ratios, and low handling costs are common to these loans. This classification also includes all loans secured by certificates of deposit or cash equivalents.

 

Risk Grade 2 (Good) - Desirable loans of somewhat less stature than Grade 1, but with strong financial statements. Probability of serious financial deterioration is unlikely. These loans possess a sound repayment source (and/or a secondary source). These loans represent less than the normal degree of risk associated with the type of financing contemplated.

 

Risk Grade 3 (Satisfactory) - Satisfactory loans of average risk – may have some minor deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic conditions, but still fully collectible. There may be some minor weakness but with offsetting features or other support readily available. These loans present a normal degree of risk associated with the type of financing. Actual and projected indicators and market conditions provide satisfactory assurance that the credit shall perform in accordance with agreed terms.

 

Risk Grade 4 (Acceptable) - Loans considered satisfactory, but which are of slightly “below average” credit risk due to financial weaknesses or uncertainty. The loans warrant a somewhat higher than average level of monitoring to insure that weaknesses do not advance. The level of risk is considered acceptable and within normal underwriting guidelines, so long as the loan is given the proper level of management supervision.

 

11
 

 

Risk Grade 4.5 (Monitored) - Loans are considered “below average” and monitored more closely due to some credit deficiency that poses additional risk but is not considered adverse to the point of being a “classified” credit. Possible reasons for additional monitoring may include characteristics such as temporary negative debt service coverage due to weak economic conditions, borrower may have experienced recent losses from operations, declining equity and/or increasing leverage, or marginal liquidity that may affect long-term sustainability. Loans of this grade have a higher degree of risk and warrant close monitoring to insure against further deterioration. In any tables presented subsequently, Risk Grade 4.5 credits are included with Risk Grade 4 credits.

 

Risk Grade 5 (Other Assets Especially Mentioned) (OAEM) - Loans which possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which deserve close attention, but which do not yet warrant substandard classification. Such loans pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan and increase risk in the future.

 

Risk Grade 6 (Substandard) - Loans are “substandard” whose full, final collectability does not appear to be a matter of serious doubt, but which nevertheless portray some form of well defined weakness that requires close supervision by Bank management. The noted weaknesses involve more than normal banking risk. One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Substandard: (1) Loans possess a defined credit weakness and the likelihood that the loan shall be paid from the primary source of repayment is uncertain; (2) Loans are not adequately protected by the current net worth and/or paying capacity of the obligor; (3) primary source of repayment is gone, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment such as collateral liquidation or guarantees; (4) distinct possibility that the Bank shall sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected; (5) unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment; (6) the borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal, however, continues to make interest payments; (7) the Bank is forced into a subordinated or unsecured position due to flaws in documentation; (8) loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms, and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to normal loan terms; (9) the Bank is contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan; or (10) there is a significant deterioration in the market conditions and the borrower is highly vulnerable to these conditions.

 

Grade 7 (Doubtful) - Loans have all the weaknesses of those classified Substandard. Additionally, however, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on existing conditions, improbable. Loans in this category are typically not performing in conformance with established terms and conditions. Full repayment is considered “Doubtful”, but extent of loss is not currently determinable.

 

Risk Grade 8 (Loss) - Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value, that continuing to carry them as an asset on the Bank’s financial statements is not feasible.

 

The following table presents the risk category of loans by class of loans based on the most recent analysis performed and the contractual aging as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

The key features of the Company’s loan modifications are determined on a loan-by-loan basis. Generally, our restructurings have related to interest rate reductions and loan term extensions. In the past the Company has granted reductions in interest rates, payment extensions and short-term payment forbearances as a means to maximize collectability of troubled credits. The Company has not forgiven principal to date, although this would be considered if necessary to ensure the long-term collectability of the loan. The Company’s loan modifications are typically short-term in nature, although the Company would consider a long-term modification to ensure the long-term collectability of the credit. In general, a borrower must make at least six consecutive timely payments before the Company would consider a return of a restructured loan to accruing status in accordance with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation guidelines regarding restoration of credits to accrual status.

 

The Bank has classified approximately $2,968,000 of its impaired loans as troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2012. The following table shows troubled debt restructurings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012:

For the majority of the Bank’s impaired loans, the Bank will apply the observable market price methodology. However, the Bank may also utilize a measurement incorporating the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate of interest. To determine observable market price, collateral asset values securing an impaired loan are periodically evaluated. Maximum time of re-evaluation is every 12 months. In this process, third party evaluations are obtained and heavily relied upon. Until such time that updated evaluations are received, the Bank may discount the collateral value used.

 

The Bank uses the following guidelines as stated in policy to determine when to realize a charge-off, whether a partial or full loan balance. A charge down in whole or in part is realized when unsecured consumer loans, credit card credits and overdraft lines of credit reach 90 days delinquency. At 120 days delinquency, secured consumer loans are charged down to the value of collateral, if repossession of the collateral is assured and/or in the process of repossession. Consumer mortgage loan deficiencies are charged down upon the sale of the collateral or sooner upon the recognition of collateral deficiency. Commercial credits are charged down at 90 days delinquency, unless an established and approved work-out plan is in place or litigation of the credit will likely result in recovery of the loan balance. Upon notification of bankruptcy, unsecured debt is charged off. Additional charge-offs may be realized as further unsecured positions are recognized.

Note 5—DIVIDENDS

 

We are dependent primarily upon the Bank for our earnings and funds to pay dividends on our common stock. The payment of dividends also is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. Any payment of dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on the Bank's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered by our Board of Directors.

 

Note 6—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB ASC 718-10 “Shareholder Based Payments”, which requires that the grant-date fair value of awarded stock options be expensed over the requisite service period. The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”), which was approved by shareholders, permits the grant of share options to its employees for up to 127,491 shares of common stock (adjusted for the exchange ratio applied in the Company’s 2005 stock offering and related second-step conversion). The Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2006, permits the award of up to 242,740 shares of common stock of which the maximum number to be granted as Stock Options is 173,386 and the maximum that can be granted as Restricted Stock Awards is 69,354. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on five years of continual service and have ten year contractual terms. Certain options provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans).

 

18
 

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 no shares were awarded under either the 1996 Plan or the 2006 Plan. Shares issued under the plans and exercised pursuant to the exercise of the stock options awarded under the plans may be either authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares held by the Company as treasury stock.

 

Stock Options - A summary of option activity under the Plans during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is presented below:

 

           Weighted-Average     
       Weighted-   Remaining     
       Average   Contractual Term   Aggregate 
Options  Shares   Exercise Price   (Years)   Intrinsic Value 
                 
Outstanding at January 1, 2012   182,682   $9.47    4.3   $- 
                     
Granted   -    N/A           
                     
Exercised   -    N/A           
                     
Forfeited or expired   (5,542)  $7.44           
                     
Oustanding at June 30, 2012   177,140   $9.53    3.9   $- 
                     
Options Exercisable at June 30, 2012   176,900   $9.54    3.9   $- 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options shown in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e. the difference between the Company’s closing stock price of $3.50 on June 30, 2012 and the exercise price times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holder had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2012. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the stock.

 

As of June 30, 2012 there was less than $1,000 in unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options under the Plans. The total fair value of options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $3,370.

 

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested options as of June 30, 2012, and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2012, is presented below:

 

       Weighted-Average 
       Grant-Date 
Nonvested Shares  Shares   Fair Value 
         
Nonvested at January 1, 2012   1,240   $2.19 
           
Granted   -    N/A 
           
Vested   (1,000)  $2.26 
           
Forfeited   -    N/A 
           
Nonvested at June 30, 2012   240   $1.92 

 

Restricted Stock Awards - As of June 30, 2012 there was less than $1,000 in unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards under the Plans.

Note 7 – COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT

 

The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, stand-by letters of credit, and commercial lines of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contracted amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $35.7 million. These commitments included the following:

 

   As of 
   June 30, 2012 
     
Commitments to grant loans  $22,745 
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit   12,509 
Commercial and standby letters of credit   404 

 

Note 8-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is categorized in three levels. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. These levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Valuations of assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities traded in the same market; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

 

Level 3 — Assets and liabilities with valuations that include methodologies and assumptions that may not be readily observable, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, yield curves and similar techniques. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities, but in all cases are corroborated by external data, which may include third-party pricing services.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.

Fair value measurements of U.S. Government agencies and mortgage backed securities use pricing models that vary and may consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.

 

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012. For the available for sale securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent third-party service.

 

The Company has assets that, under certain conditions, are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, such assets consist primarily of impaired loans and other real estate owned. The Corporation has estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.

 

Investment Securities - Fair value for the Bank’s investment securities was determined using the market value in active markets, where available. When not available, fair values are estimated using the fair value hierarchy. In the fair value hierarchy, Level 2 fair values are determined using observable inputs other than Level 1 market prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets. Level 3 values are determined using unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow projections.

 

Loans Receivable - For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one- to four-family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial, and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

 

22
 

 

Loans Held For Sale - Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

 

Deposit Liabilities - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances - The estimated fair value of the fixed and variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated by discounting the related cash flows using the rates currently available for similarly structured borrowings with similar maturities.

 

REPO Sweep Accounts - The fair values disclosed for REPO Sweeps are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).

 

Accrued Interest - The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

 

23

Note 9 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.

 

ASC Topic 220: Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income. On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05. This ASU is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements. The new guidance does not change whether items are reported in net income or in other comprehensive income or whether and when items of other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option in current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that permits the presentation of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. The new guidance in the ASU requires that an entity report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement that presents the components of net income or a separate but consecutive statement. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this pronouncement as of the interim period ended June 30, 2012. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion compares the consolidated financial condition of the Company at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and footnotes included herein.

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company currently operates as a community-oriented financial institution that accepts deposits from the general public in the communities surrounding its 8 full-service banking centers. The deposited funds, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, are used by the Company to originate loans. The Company’s principal lending activity is the origination of mortgage loans for the purchase or refinancing of one-to-four family residential properties. The Company also originates commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction loans, commercial loans, automobile loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and a variety of other consumer loans.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $270,000, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $263,000, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, for the year earlier period, a decrease of $533,000. Net income was $331,000, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $423,000, or $0.15 per share, for the same period ended June 30, 2011.

 

Total assets increased by $619,000, or 0.3%, from $217.0 million as of December 31, 2011 to $217.7 million as of June 30, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $77,000 and investment securities available for sale decreased by $774,000 while net loans receivable increased $1.6 million during this time period. Total deposits increased $3.8 million from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012, Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $2.1 million, while REPO sweep accounts decreased by $1.7 million, and equity increased by $672,000.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

As of June 30, 2012, there have been no changes in the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and financial sections of its 2011 Annual Report. Management believes its critical accounting policies relate to the Company’s allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, valuation of deferred tax assets and impairment of intangible assets.

Investment securities available for sale decreased $774,000, or 1.5%, from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012. Net loans receivable increased $1.6 million, or 1.1% to $142.4 million at June 30, 2011 from $140.9 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in net loans was attributable primarily to placing in our portfolio certain high-quality 10- and 15-year fixed rate residential mortgages as opposed to selling them in the secondary market.

 

LIABILITIES: Deposits increased by $3.8 million to $154.4 million at June 30, 2012 from $150.6 million at December 31, 2011. However, the composition of our deposits changed during the six-month period. We experienced increases of $1.1 million in statement savings accounts, $4.9 million in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts and $261,000 in NOW demand deposit accounts during the six-month period. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases of $1.8 million in our traditional certificates of deposit and $1.4 million in our liquid certificates of deposit (from which customers can take a penalty–free withdrawal with seven days advance written notice) as, in general, we were not the market leader in rates on these products during this time period. Total FHLB advances decreased $2.1 million to $32.5 million at June 30, 2012 from $34.5 million at December 31, 2011 as we paid off advances with deposits.

 

EQUITY: Stockholders’ equity increased by $499,000 to $25.1 million at June 30, 2012 from $24.6 million at December 31, 2011. The increase was due primarily to net income for the six-month period of $331,000 and an increase of $167,000 in the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

 

General: Net income decreased by $533,000 to a loss of $270,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from income of $263,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2011.

 

Interest Income: Interest income decreased to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $2.7 million for the year earlier period, due mainly to a decrease of 66 basis points in the average yield on interest-earning assets period over period.

 

Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased to $427,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $581,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in interest expense for the three-month period was due primarily to a decrease in our cost of funds related to certificates of deposit and FHLB advances. The average cost of our certificates of deposit decreased from 1.76% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to 1.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as higher costing deposits matured and either left the Bank as we were not a market leader in rates or were re-priced at a lower rate. In addition, the cost of our FHLB advances decreased 35 basis points from 2.25% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to 1.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 due to decreases in market interest rates.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased to $1.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 from $2.1 million for the same period in 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, average interest-earning assets decreased $151,000, or 0.1% when compared to the same period in 2011. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $4.2 million, or 2.4%, to $174.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 from $178.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 4.68% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 from 5.34% for the same period ended in 2011, and the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.98% from 1.30% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The net interest margin decreased to 3.82% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 from 4.19% for same period in 2011.

 

Provision for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibiity of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 was $578,000 as compared to income of $19,000 for the prior year period. Prior to 2012, our provision for loan losses was based on an eight-quarter rolling average of actual net charge-offs adjusted for environmental factors for each segment of loans in our portfolio. Management has decided that eight quarters is no longer reflective of the inherent loss in the loan portfolios. In 2012, we began moving towards a twelve-quarter rolling average of actual net charge-offs by adding an additional quarter of net charge-offs each quarter in 2012. By the end of 2012 we will be using a twelve-quarter rolling average. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we charged off $386,000 in mortgage loans as compared to only $242,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 due in large part to continued declines in residential real estate values in our markets. The direct effect of the increase in charge-offs quarter over quarter combined with the impact the increased charge-offs had on the general reserve factor applied to the entire pool of mortgage loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, was a main cause of the increase in provision period over period. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we added $95,000 in specific reserves on two impaired commercial credits and also increased our general reserve pool for special mention and substandard commercial credits by approximately $250,000. The provision was based on management’s review of the components of the overall loan portfolio, the status of non-performing loans and various subjective factors.

 

27
 

 

Non Interest Income: Non interest income decreased slightly to $391,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $393,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. In 2012 we experienced an increase in mortgage banking activities, resulting in a $32,000 increase in income period over period. The increase in mortgage banking activities income was offset by an increase in losses on sale of real estate owned and other repossessed assets of $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the prior-year period due to a continued decline in real estate values in our markets.

 

Non Interest Expense: Non interest expense decreased from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Most notably, other expenses, consisting primarily of expenses related to problem credits, decreased $64,000 period over period as asset quality has improved. In addition, our amortization of intangible assets decreased by $29,000 period over period as core deposits intangible for certain branches were fully amortized during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and our occupancy expenses decreased by $30,000 due primarily to furniture, fixtures and equipment which became fully depreciated in 2011. Partially offsetting these positive factors period over period was compensation and benefits expense which was higher in 2012 than in 2011 due to the addition of a commercial lender and Treasury Management professional in 2012. In addition we spent $16,000 more in advertising during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 as a result of a concerted effort to increase awareness of our status as a community bank and to promote certain loan products.

 

Income Taxes: The Company had a federal income tax benefit of $135,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 due to the pre-tax net loss for the period.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

 

General: Net income decreased by $93,000 to $331,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $423,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2011.

 

Interest Income: Interest income decreased by $523,000 to $4.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 from $5.3 million for the same period in 2011. This decrease was primarily attributed to a decline in the average balance of interest earning assets of $573,000 to $201.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 from $201.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. In addition, we experienced a decrease in the yield on our interest earning assets of 52 basis points period over period due mainly to lower market interest rates period over period.

 

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased to $891,000 from $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in interest expense for the six-month period was due primarily to a decrease in the cost of our certificates of deposit and FHLB advances. The cost of our certificates of deposit decreased 52 basis points from 1.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 1.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as higher costing deposits matured and either left the Bank or were re-priced at lower rates. In addition, the cost of our FHLB advances decreased 29 basis points from 2.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 1.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 due primarily to lower market interest rates period over period.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased by $228,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, average interest-earning assets decreased $573,000, or 0.2%, when compared to the same period in 2011. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $3.1 million, or 1.72%, to $176.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 from $179.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 4.74% for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 from 5.26% for the same period ended in 2011 while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.02% from 1.34% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The net interest margin decreased to 3.86% for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 from 4.08% for same period in 2011.

Delinquent Loans and Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets decreased by $379,000 from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012 due in large part to commercial real estate being reclassified as real estate owned during the six month period ended June 30, 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses: For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, the provision for loan losses was $955,000 as compared to $48,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2011. As discussed above in the discussion for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, our provision for loan losses is based on a ten-quarter rolling average of actual net charge-offs adjusted for various environmental factors for each pool of loans in our portfolio. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, we added specific reserves of approximately $295,000 on four commercial credit relationships, two of which were reclassified as Troubled Debt Restructurings, increased the general reserve factor applied to the entire portfolio of residential mortgages as a result of increased charge-off history in 2012, and increased our general reserve pool for special mention and substandard commercial credits by approximately $250,000 based on the inherent increased risk in those credits. The provision was based on management’s review of the components of the overall loan portfolio, the status of non-performing loans and various subjective factors.

 

The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 1.88% and 2.35% at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As a percent of total assets, nonperforming loans decreased to 2.40% at June 30, 2012 from 3.11% at December 31, 2011.

Non Interest Income: Non interest income decreased from $842,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $837,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, mainly due to an increase on loss on sale of real estate owned and other repossessed assets of $24,000 due to continued decline in real estate values in our markets, partially offset by increases in mortgage banking activities income of $16,000 and service charge income of $11,000, period over period.

 

Non Interest Expense. Non interest expense decreased from $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $58,000 in occupancy expenses, $28,000 in our FDIC premiums due in part to an improvement in our risk profile, and $93,000 in other expenses associated with reduced costs associated with real estate owned and other repossessed assets, these decreased were offset by an increase in compensation and employee benefits of $120,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, as we added a commercial lender and Treasury Management professional.

 

Income Taxes: A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At March 31, 2012, management evaluated the Company’s valuation allowance related to its deferred tax asset. An analysis of the deferred tax asset was made to determine the utilization of those tax benefits based upon projected future taxable income. Based upon management’s determination and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, Management concluded that the utilization of this asset was “more likely than not.” At March 31, 2012, $866,000 of the valuation allowance was credited to income tax expense. Among the criteria that management considered in evaluating the deferred tax asset were: improved core profitability of the Bank in 2010 and 2011; substantial improvement over the past two years in non-performing assets, which were driving losses in prior years; and positive forecast for taxable income looking forward over the next three years. A valuation allowance of $2.2 million remains on $3.5 million of the current deferred tax asset at June 30, 2012.

 

31
 

 

The valuation of deferred tax assets is a subjective calculation. Management reviewed several factors in determining the value of deferred tax assets that the Company expects to realize over the next three years, including:

 

·Despite the Company’s loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012, we expect that trend to reverse for the remaining quarters in 2012.
·The six months ended June 30, 2012 included expenses associated with the decline in value of certain of our REO properties that we consider to be “one-time expenses” in 2012.
·The level of our non-performing assets continues to decrease each quarter, from $8.9 million at June 30, 2011 to $6.7 million at December 31, 2011 to $5.2 million at June 30, 2012. We expect that trend to continue, which will have a positive impact on earnings in future quarters.
·We sold our two largest pieces of REO property at the end of 2011, therefore 2012 earnings will not be burdened with carrying costs on those properties.

 

As of June 30, 2012 the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for tax purposes of approximately $10.0 million and related deferred tax asset of $3.4 million. The Company will continue to evaluate the future benefits from these carryforwards and at such time as it becomes “more likely than not” that they would be utilized prior to expiration, the Company will recognize the additional benefits as an adjustment to the valuation allowance. The net operating loss carryforwards expire twenty years from the date they originated. These carryforwards, if not utilized, will expire in the year 2031.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

The Company’s current liquidity position is more than adequate to fund expected asset growth. The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB advances, proceeds from principal and interest payments, prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed and investment securities and sale of long-term fixed-rate mortgages into the secondary market. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

 

Liquidity represents the amount of an institution’s assets that can be quickly and easily converted into cash without significant loss. The most liquid assets are cash, short-term U.S. Government securities, U.S. Government agency securities and certificates of deposit. The Company is required to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity as defined by OCC regulations. This requirement may be varied at the direction of the OCC. Regulations currently in effect require that the Bank must maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation. The Company’s objective for liquidity is to be above 20%. Liquidity as of June 30, 2012 was $45.6 million, or 37.94% compared to $44.6 million, or 39.9% at December 31, 2011. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. The liquidity calculated by the Company includes additional borrowing capacity available with the FHLB. This borrowing capacity is based on pledged collateral.

 

The Company intends to retain for its portfolio certain originated residential mortgage loans (primarily adjustable rate and shorter term fixed rate mortgage loans) and to generally sell the remainder in the secondary market. The Bank will from time to time participate in or originate commercial real estate loans, including real estate development loans. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company originated $20.8 million in residential mortgage loans, of which $8.1 million were retained in portfolio while the remainder were sold in the secondary market or are being held for sale. This compares to $12.4 million in originations during the first six months of 2011 of which $837,000 were retained in portfolio. The Company also originated $11.6 million of commercial loans and $1.2 million of consumer loans in the first six months of 2012 compared to $7.5 million of commercial loans and $818,000 of consumer loans for the same period in 2011. Of total loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, mortgage loans comprised 46.6% and 44.2%, commercial loans 44.1% and 44.6% and consumer loans 9.3% and 11.2% at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

 

32
 

 

Deposits are a primary source of ;funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes. At June 30, 2012 deposits funded 70.9% of the Company’s total assets compared to 69.4% at December 31, 2011. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year at June 30, 2012 totaled $40.8 million. Management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank. The Bank monitors the deposit rates offered by competition in the area and sets rates that take into account the prevailing market conditions along with the Bank’s liquidity position. Moreover, management believes that growth in assets is not expected to require significant in-flows of liquidity. As such, the Bank does not expect to be a market leader in rates paid for liabilities, although we may from time to time offer higher rates than our competitors, as liquidity needs dictate.

 

Borrowings may be used to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in normal sources of funds or for deposit outflows at more than projected levels. Borrowings may also be used on a longer-term basis to support increased lending or investment activities. At June 30, 2012 the Company had $32.5 million in FHLB advances. FHLB borrowings as a percentage of total assets were 14.9% at June 30, 2012 as compared to 15.9% at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012, the Company has sufficient available collateral to obtain additional advances of $28.3 million.

 

CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2012 was $25.2 million, or 11.6% of total assets, compared to $24.6 million, or 11.3% of total assets, at December 31, 2011 (See “Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity”). The Bank is subject to certain capital-to-assets levels in accordance with federal regulations. The Bank was considered “well capitalized” under all capital requirements set forth by the OCC as of June 30, 2012. The following table summarizes the Bank’s actual capital with the regulatory capital requirements and with requirements to be “Well Capitalized” under prompt corrective action provisions, as of June 30, 2012:

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over the financial reporting during the Company’s second quarter of fiscal year 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
