NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed at the direction of Heritage Bank, formerly Hopkinsville Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”), to become the holding company of the Bank upon the conversion of the Bank from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank. The conversion was consummated on February 6, 1998. The Company’s primary assets are the outstanding capital stock of the converted Bank, and its sole business is that of the converted Bank. The Bank owns 100% of the stock of Fall and Fall Insurance Agency (Fall & Fall) of Fulton, Kentucky. Fall & Fall sells life and casualty insurance to both individual to both individual and businesses. The majority of Fall & Fall’s customer base is within the geographic footprint of the Bank.

The Bank operates a mortgage division, Heritage Mortgage Services, in Clarksville, Tennessee with agents located in several of its markets. The Bank has a financial services division, Heritage Solutions, with offices in Murray and Hopkinsville in Kentucky as well as Dickson and Pleasant View in Tennessee. The agents for Heritage Solutions travel throughout western Kentucky and middle Tennessee offering fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds and brokerage services.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair representation have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s December 31, 2007 Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

(2) INCOME PER SHARE

The following schedule reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted income per share (“IPS”) computations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Diluted common shares arise from the potentially dilutive effect of the Company’s stock options outstanding.

(3) STOCK COMPENSATION

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation using the modified prospective method which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. The financial statement dated March 31, 2006 is the first to reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred additional compensation expense related to SFAS 123R of $3,633 and $9,083, respectively. For the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred of additional compensation expense related to SFAS 123R of $5,450 and $10,900, respectively. At June 30, 2008, all outstanding stock options are fully vested.

No stock options were issued, forfeited, or exercised in the three-month or six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007. The value of vested options outstanding at June 30, 2008 was $1,670,430 for options issued under the 1999 Plan and $144,800 for options issued under the 2000 Plan. The fair value of options vested in 2008 is $21,800. Shares issued for option exercises are expected to come from authorized but unissued shares.

For the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred compensation cost related to the HopFed Bancorp Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan of approximately $40,000 and $77,000 respectively. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred compensation cost related to the HopFed Bancorp Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan of approximately $31,600 and $60,900 respectively. The Company issued 10,487 shares of restricted share during the six month period ended June 30, 2008. The Company had 450 shares of restricted stock previously awarded that were forfeited due to the voluntary resignation of a Director prior to vesting.

The Company will incur total additional compensation cost of approximately $78,000 for the year ending December 31, 2008 related to restricted stock grants previously awarded. The Company will incur cost of approximately $136,000, $94,000, $54,000 and $16,000 in total compensation cost for the years ending December 31, 2009, December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 related to restricted stock grants previously awarded. The compensation committee may make additional awards of restricted stock, thereby increasing the future expense related to this plan. In addition, award vesting may be accelerated due to certain events as outlined in the restricted stock award agreement. Any acceleration of vesting will change the timing of, but not the aggregate amount of, compensation expense incurred.

(4) SECURITIES

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluations. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At June 30, 2008, the Company has 113 securities with unrealized losses. Management believes these unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates and not credit quality with the exception of $2 million (par value) in commercial paper consisting of two Ford Motor Credit bonds maturing in $1 million increments on October 1, 2008 and October 28, 2009. The Company’s quarterly financial analysis of Ford and Ford Motor Credit indicates the Ford has adequate levels and sources of liquidity to meet its funding needs through the maturity periods of the aforementioned bonds.

(6) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable input and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

 

   

Level 1 is for assets and liabilities that management has obtained quoted prices (unadjusted for transaction cost) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

   

Level 2 is for assets and liabilities in which significant unobservable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

   

Level 3 is for assets and liabilities in which significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique that is widely used in the industry to value debt securities without exclusively on quoted prices for the individual securities in the Company’s portfolio but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Impaired loans are valued at the net present value of expected payments using the fair value of any assigned collateral.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 included herein have been prepared by the Company, without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in interim financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereon included in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K.

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances, which could affect these material judgments, include, but without limitation, changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses and determining the fair value of securities and other financial instruments and assessing other than temporary impairments of securities.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007

Total assets increased by $18.8 million, from $808.4 million at December 31, 2007 to $827.2 million at June 30, 2008. Securities available for sale increased from $142.3 million at December 31, 2007 to $149.0 million at June 30, 2008. Federal funds sold decreased from $3.8 million at December 31, 2007 to $1.6 million at June 30, 2008. The Company’s holdings of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, at cost, increased from $3.8 million at December 31, 2007 to $4.0 million at June 30, 2008. Total FHLB borrowings decreased $4.6 million, from $101.9 million at December 31, 2007 to $97.3 million at June 30, 2008. Total repurchase balances decreased from $37.2 million at December 31, 2007 to $34.9 million at June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, investments classified as “held to maturity” were carried at an amortized cost and had an estimated fair value of $2.0 million and $14.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, securities classified as “available for sale” had an amortized book value of $151.0 million and $142.8 million, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $5.1 million at June 30, 2008, $4.8 million at December 31, 2007 and $4.7 million at June 30, 2007. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans was 0.85% at June 30, 2008, 0.83% at December 31, 2007 and 0.88% at June 30, 2007. Also at June 30, 2008, non-performing loans, those loans 90 days or more past due, were $598,000, or 0.10% of total loans, compared to $593,000, or 0.10% of total loans, at December 31, 2007 and $593,000, or 0.11% at June 30, 2007. Non-performing assets, which include other real estate owned and other assets owned, were $1.0 million or 0.12% of total assets at June 30, 2008, compared to $915,000, or 0.12% of assets, at June 30, 2007 and $940,000, or 0.12% of assets at December 31, 2007.

The Company does not originate loans it considers sub-prime and is not aware of any exposure to the additional credit concerns associated with sub-prime lending in either the Company’s loan or investment portfolios. The Company’s loan portfolio includes construction and land development loan balances of approximately $55.4 million, or 9.2% of total loans. Management reports to the Company’s Board of Directors on the status of the Company’s specific construction and development loans as well as the market trends in those markets in which the Company actively participates.

The Company’s annualized net charge off ratios for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007 were 0.21%, 0.09% and 0.11%, respectively. The ratios of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at June 30, 2008, June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 were 855.9%, 797.3% and 816.5%, respectively. The increase in the charge off ratio at June 30, 2008 was largely the result of two loans charged off during the first quarter of the year. The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on management’s analysis, performed on a quarterly basis. Various factors are considered, including the market value of the underlying collateral, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, historical loss experience, delinquency trends and prevailing economic conditions. Although management believes its allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that additional allowances will not be required or that losses on loans will not be incurred.

A loan is considered to be impaired when management determines that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The value of individually impaired loans is measured based on the present value of expected payments using the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s impaired loans totaled $9.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s reserve for impaired loans totaled $484,000 and $488,000, respectively.

In July 2008, a residential developer with an aggregate lending relationship of approximately $8.3 million filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. At June 30, 2008, the customer was current on all loans with the Company. The Company’s specific reserve for this relationship was approximately $234,000. The Company is in the process of reviewing all appraisals and loan documentation associated with this relationship. The Company’s preliminary analysis indicates that the value of the collateral is adequate to pay all interest and principal balances due. At this time, the Company anticipates that the current reserve level for this lending relationship is adequate.

Table of Contents

The Company had $392,000 in real estate owned and $22,000 of other assets owned at June 30, 2008. The Company’s non-performing assets at June 30, 2008 totaled $1.0 million, or 0.12% of total assets. At June 30, 2008, the Company had loans totaling $43.3 million classified as watch or special mention and loans totaling $9.1 million classified as impaired. Watch and special mention loans are not considered impaired but are reserved for based on potential weaknesses or higher levels of perceived risk due to the various factors, including unpredictable cash flows, a business operating in a challenging industry, or a new and significant relationship.

At June 30, 2008, deposits increased to $621.3 million from $598.8 million at December 31, 2007. The Company’s balances of brokered deposits increased from $19.8 million at December 31, 2007 to $31.6 million at June 30, 2008. The increase in brokered deposits was the result of pricing abnormalities in some of the Company’s markets, making brokered funds more cost effective. The Company will utilize brokered deposits to assist in the reduction of maturing FHLB advances. This change in funding sources is expected to reduce the Company’s cost of funds and improve its liquidity position.

The average cost of deposits during the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007 was 3.39%, 3.71%, and 3.80%, respectively. Management continually evaluates the investment alternatives available to customers and adjusts the pricing on its deposit products to more actively manage its funding costs while remaining competitive in its market area.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,753,000, compared to net income of $2,130,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the Company’s net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was largely the result of changes in market interest rates. Lower short-term rates provided the Company the opportunity to reduce its cost of funds and sell selected securities with a net gain of approximately $700,000.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $11.4 million, compared to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to June 30, 2007 was largely due to a $74.3 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding. To a lesser extent, the improvement in net interest margin has benefited from the reduction in the Company’s cost of funding interest earning assets, which has declined at a faster rate than the reduction of its net yield on interest earning assets.

Average Balances, Yields and Interest Expenses. The table below summarizes the overall effect of changes to both interest rates and changes in the average balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2007. Yields on assets and cost of liabilities are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the appropriate six-month periods. Average balances for loans include loans classified as non-accrual, net of the allowance for loan losses. The table adjusts tax-free investment income by $139 for June 30, 2008, and $104 for June 30, 2007, for a tax equivalent rate using a cost of funds rate of 3.80% for June 30, 2008 and 4.25% for June 30, 2007. The table adjusts tax-free loan income by $136 for June 30, 2008 and $236 for June 30, 2007 for a tax equivalent rate using the same cost of funds rate.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $600,000 from $24.1 million to $24.7 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. This increase primarily resulted from growth in the loan portfolio and helped to offset a 325 basis point decline in the prime rate. The average balance of loans receivable increased $74.3 million to $585.1 million at June 30, 2008 from $510.8 million at June 30, 2007. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 106.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to 107.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased approximately $650,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower short term interest rates which offset a higher average balance of interest bearing deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings and repurchase agreements as compared to June 30, 2007. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits declined from 4.06% at June 30, 2007 to 3.72% at June 30, 2008. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $22.3 million, from $534.8 million at June 30, 2007 to $557.1 million at June 30, 2008 and the average balance of funds borrowed from the FHLB increased $3.2 million, from $90.9 million at June 30, 2007 to $94.1 million at June 30, 2008. The average cost of average borrowed funds from the FHLB decreased from 4.65% at June 30, 2007 to 4.32% at June 30, 2008. The average cost of all deposits declined from 3.71% at June 30, 2007 to 3.39% at June 30, 2008. The average balance of repurchase agreements increased from $23.5 million at June 30, 2007 to $35.9 million at June 30, 2008. The average cost of repurchase agreements declined from 4.91% at June 30, 2007 to 3.35% at June 30, 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation considers numerous factors including, general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loss experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. The Company determined that an additional $877,000 provision for loan loss was required for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a $478,000 provision for loan loss expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the Company’s provision expense was largely the result in an increase in total loans outstanding.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased approximately $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, gains on the sale of loans were $105,000 as compared to $52,000 in the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, income from financial services was $519,000, compared to $585,000 for the same period in 2007. The Company realized gains on the sale of investments totaling $702,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. These gains were the result of the sale of agency bonds. In addition, two agency bonds classified as held to maturity with unearned discounts were called at par, contributing approximately $27,000 to the above mentioned gains. The proceeds from both sales and calls of agency bonds were reinvested in both loans and mortgage-back securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, income from bank owned life insurance declined by $35,000 as one insurance company reduced the rate of interest paid on its policies.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was a $940,000 increase in total non-interest expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, compensation expense increased to $5.8 million compared to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 largely due to the opening of three new retail offices during the period. Other operating expenses that increased by more than $100,000 were data processing expense and occupancy expense. The Company incurred $69,000 in expenses related to the reduction in market value of real estate owned properties.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 30.8%, compared to 29.4% for the same period in 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to large amount of gains on the sale of securities and increased income from taxable sources, all of which are taxed at 34%.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,261,000, compared to net income of $1,108,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the Company’s net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was largely the result of changes in market interest rates. Lower short-term rates early in the second quarter provided the Company an opportunity to reduce its cost of funds and sell selected securities with a net gain of approximately $168,000. Partially offsetting the Company’s improved net income levels was a $238,000 increase in the Company’s provision for loan loss expense resulting from an increase in total loans outstanding. Non-interest expenses increased by $513,000 as the Company opened two new retail banking locations in the last twelve months and entered into marketing agreements to greatly expand its ATM network.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $5.9 million, compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to June 30, 2007 was largely due to a $69.5 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding and, to a lesser extent, lower short-term interest rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the tax equivalent yield on total interest earning assets declined to 6.57% from 7.06%. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the Company’s cost of interest bearing liabilities was 3.61% and 4.28%, respectively. The Company anticipates that the opportunity to liquidate $22 million in FHLB borrowings with an average cost of 5.22% during the second half of 2008 by using brokered deposits. The Company anticipates that it can reduce the funding cost for these borrowings by approximately 1%. The Company’s opportunities to further reduce it cost of deposits are limited by competitive pressures, as many large regional and super-regional banks are aggressively pricing time deposits.

Average Balances, Yields and Interest Expenses. The table below summarizes the overall effect of changes to both interest rates and changes in the average balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2007. Yields on assets and cost of liabilities are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the appropriate three-month periods. Average balances for loans include loans classified as non-accrual, net of the allowance for loan losses. The table adjusts tax-free investment income by $70 for June 30, 2008, and $52 for June 30, 2007, for a tax equivalent rate using a cost of funds rate of 3.60% for June 30, 2008 and 4.30% for June 30, 2007. The table adjusts tax-free loan income by $73 for June 30, 2008 and $78 for June 30, 2007 for a tax equivalent rate using the same cost of funds rate.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $200,000, from $12.3 million to $12.1 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. This decline was primarily resulted from a 325 basis point decline in the prime rate. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the average tax equivalent yield on average loans declined from 7.92% to 7.04%. The average balance of loans receivable increased $69.5 million to $589.4 million at June 30, 2008 from $519.9 million at June 30, 2007. As compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2007, the tax equivalent yields on investments improved by approximately 34 basis points despite lower market interest rates as the Company reduced its holdings of unsecured U.S. government agency debt and increased its holdings of mortgage backed securities and municipal bonds.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased approximately $800,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease was attributable to sharply lower short term interest rates offsetting higher average balance of interest bearing deposits, FHLB borrowings and repurchase accounts as compared to June 30, 2007. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits declined from 4.12% at June 30, 2007 to 3.52% at June 30, 2008. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $18.9 million, from $537.4 million at June 30, 2007 to $556.3 million at June 30, 2008 and the average balance of funds borrowed from the FHLB increased $5.0 million, from $86.6 million at June 30, 2007 to $91.6 million at June 30, 2008. The average cost of average borrowed funds from the FHLB decreased from 4.68% at June 30, 2007 to 4.21% at June 30, 2008. The average cost of all deposits declined from 3.76% at June 30, 2007 to 3.20% at June 30, 2008. The average balance of repurchase agreements increased from $26.4 million at June 30, 2007 to $35.0 million at June 30, 2008. The average cost of repurchase agreements declined from 4.97% at June 30, 2007 to 3.10% at June 30, 2008.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation considers numerous factors including, general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loss experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. The Company determined that an additional $476,000 provision for loan loss was required for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a $238,000 provision for loan loss expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in provision expense is attributable to loan growth and local economic conditions.

Non-Interest Income. There was a $300,000 increase in non-interest income in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, service charge income was $1.1 million, an increase of $100,000 over the same period in 2007. The increase in service charge income is largely the result of the increased number of checking accounts. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, gains on the sale of loans were $41,000 as compared to $25,000 in the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, income from financial services was $279,000, compared to $284,000 for the same period in 2007. The Company realized gains on the sale of investments totaling $168,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was a $500,000 increase in total non-interest expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, compensation expense increased to $2.9 million compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 largely due to the opening of three new offices during the period. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the only other operating expenses that increased by more than $50,000 were data processing expense, occupancy expense, and advertising expenses related to the Company’s checking account promotion.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 31.1%, compared to 29.9% for the same period in 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to large amount of gains on the sale of securities and increased income from taxable sources, all taxed at a rate of 34%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company has no business other than that of the Bank. Management believes that dividends that may be paid by the Bank to the Company will provide sufficient funds for its current needs. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not have a need for additional funds in the future. The Bank is subject to certain regulatory limitations with respect to the payment of dividends to the Company.

The Bank’s principal sources of funds for operations are deposits from its primary market areas, principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from maturing investment securities. The Company estimates that its CMO and mortgage backed security portfolio will provide more than $1.1 million dollars in cash flow per month over the remaining six months of 2008. Additional cash flows from agency securities are highly dependent on market interest rates. This cash flow will be used to fund additional loan growth, reduce FHLB borrowings, and to replace more expensive deposits. The principal uses of funds by the Bank include the origination of mortgage and consumer loans and the purchase of investment securities.

The Bank must satisfy three capital standards: a ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets of 4.0%, a tangible capital standard expressed as 1.5% of total adjusted assets, and a combination of core and “supplementary” capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. At June 30, 2008, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The table below presents certain information relating to the Company’s and Bank’s capital compliance at June 30, 2008:

At June 30, 2008, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of approximately $640,000 and undisbursed commitments on loans outstanding of $56.1 million. Management believes that the Bank’s sources of funds are sufficient to fund all of its outstanding commitments. Certificates of deposits, which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from June 30, 2008, totaled $269.7 million. Management believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

At June 30, 2008, the Bank has outstanding borrowings of $97.3 million from the FHLB with maturities ranging from overnight borrowing to nine years. In addition, the FHLB has issued letters of credit total $51.7 million using the Bank’s borrowing based as collateral. In addition to $6.5 million in overnight borrowings, the Company has $22 million of FHLB borrowings that will mature in the next four months with a weighted average rate of 5.22%.

The Company’s FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket security agreements pledging the Bank’s 1-4 family first mortgage loans, multi-family real estate loans and non-residential real estate loans. At June 30, 2008, the Bank has approximately $178.9 million in closed end 1-4 family first mortgages, $212.2 million in non-residential real estate loans and $29.7 million in multi-family real estate loans that may be pledged under these agreements.

The Company’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 and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At June 30, 2008, the Company had the following off-balance sheet commitments:

 

     (Dollars in Thousands)

Commitments to extend credit

   $ 56,140

Standby letters of credit

   $ 3,840

Unused commercial lines of credit

   $ 11,955

Unused home equity lines of credit

   $ 32,834

Non-cancelable lease obligations

   $ 80

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Additional written or oral forward-looking statements may be made by the Company from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise. The words “believe,” “expect,” “seek,” and “intend” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement is made. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of income or loss, expenditures, acquisitions, plans for future operations, financing needs or plans relating to services of the Company, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to publicly release the results of revisions, which may be made to forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Effect of New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB No. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006. The adoption of FASB No. 48 did not have a material affect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for or asset or paid to transfer a liability in the most economical market on the measurement date. SFAS is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued for the year beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB State Position No. 157-2. The staff position delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The delay is intended to allow additional time to consider the effect of various implementation issues with regard to the application of SFAS No. 157. The new staff position defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to January 1, 2009 for items within the scope of the staff position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair Value Option Statement for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on an individual basis. Future changes in the fair value of these financial instruments would be recognized on the current period’s statement of income while establishing additional disclosure requirements for these financial statements. The stated objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in the reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex accounting provisions. FASB No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption was permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity made the choice in the first 120 days of that physical year and also elects to apply the provisions of FASB No. 157. The Company chose not to utilize the option of early adoption of FASB No. 159. The Company’s adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, (SAB 109). SAB 109 modifies how to apply generally accepted accounting principles to loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. Prior to SAB 109, when companies measured the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan was excluded. Under SAB 109, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loans sold will be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value of earnings. SAB 109 is effective for the Company January 1, 2008. The Company’s adoption of SAB 109 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2007, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue provides guidance to help companies determine whether a liability for the postretirement benefit associated with a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement should be recorded in accordance with either SFAS No. 106-Employees’s Account for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions if, in substance, a post retirement benefit plan exist or Accounting Principles Board Opinion 12 if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract. EITF 06-10 also provides guidance on how a company should recognize and measure the asset in a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance contract. EITF 06-10 was effective for the Company dated January 1, 2008. The Company’s adoption of this EITF did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51 SFAS No. 160 requires non-controlling interest to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity. Disclosure requirements included net income and comprehensive income to be displayed for both the controlling and non-controlling interest and a separate schedule that shows the effects of any transactions with the non-controlling interest on the equity attributable to the controlling interest. The provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement should be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R clarified the definitions of both a business combination and a business. All business combinations will be accounted for under the purchase method. This standard defines the acquisition date as the only relevant date for recognition and measurement of the fair value of consideration paid. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer to expense all acquisition related cost. SFAS 141R defines the measurement period as the time after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may make adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date. This period cannot exceed one year, and any subsequent adjustments to the provisional amounts are done so retrospectively and require a restatement of prior period data. The provisions of this statement are effective for business combinations during fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related items are accounted for under Statement 133 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FASB No. 161 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The new standard becomes effective sixty days following the Security and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411. SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company monitors whether material changes in market risk have occurred since year-end. The Company’s income and the value of its assets are strongly influenced by changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe that material changes in the Company’s interest rate risk profile have occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company’s model assumes an immediate change of interest rates, considered a severe test of interest rate sensitivity.

In general, a 1% and 2% increase in interest rates will result in a $230,000 and $340,000 increase to the Company’s net interest margin, respectively. A 1% or 2% reduction in interest rates will result in a $380,000 and $540,000 decline in net interest income. These anticipated results represent a significant change as compared to December 31, 2007 due to the re-pricing of the investment portfolio and time deposits.

The effects of rising interest rates are discussed throughout Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Actual results for the year ended December 31, 2008 will differ from simulations due to timing, magnitude, and the frequency or interest rate changes, market conditions, management strategies, and the timing of the Company’s cash receipts and disbursements.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), an evaluation was carried out with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15 d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Table of Contents

Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are achieved. The design of a control system inherently has limitations, including the controls cost relative to their benefits. Additionally, controls can be circumvented. No cost-effective control system can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

Effective in 2009, the Company will become subject to Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404(a) requires management to assess and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Additionally, Section 404(b) requires the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to report on management’s assessment as well as report on its own assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Management has established policies and procedures to assess and report on internal controls, and has retained an outside firm to assist it in determining the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
