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 individuals 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, Kentucky, Kingston Springs, Tennessee and Pleasant View, Tennessee. Heritage Solution agents 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 accounting principles generally accepted (“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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

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, 2009. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s December 31, 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements.

(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 September 30, 2010, the Company has 22 securities with unrealized losses. The carrying amount of securities and their estimated fair values at September 30, 2010 is as follows:

The Bank assigns an industry standard NAICS code to each loan in the Bank’s portfolio. By assigning a standard code to each type of loan, management can more readily determine concentrations in risk by industry, location and loan type. This information is most useful when analyzing the Bank’s commercial real estate loan portfolio. At September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio was made up of the following loan types:

The Bank 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 does have a significant amount of construction and land development 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, September 30, 2009, and the year ended December 31, 2009, was 0.55%, 0.21% and 0.23%, respectively. The ratios of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at September 30, 2010, September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2009, were 75.4%, 115.1% and 79.0%, respectively. The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses for the periods ended:

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 possible 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 September 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009 the Company’s impaired loans totaled $39.2 million, $35.5 million and $30.5 million, respectively. At September 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and September 30, 2009, the Company’s reserve for impaired loans totaled $3.1 million, $2.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

On a periodic basis, Heritage Bank may chose to modify the terms of certain loans. These modifications may originate from a borrower who is having a difficult time meeting their financial obligations. The Bank may chose to temporarily or permanently modify the terms of the loan to assist the borrower and avoid foreclosure. The Bank’s decision to modify lending terms is dependent on whether we deem the customer’s financial situation correctable, the likelihood that the loan’s collateral may decline in value and/or its condition may deteriorate during the term of the modification and that the modification is likely to assist both the customer and Bank avoid future collection issues, including foreclosure:

(6) OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

The Company’s other real estate and other assets owned represent properties and personal collateral acquired through customer loan defaults. The property is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost of to sell and carrying cost at the date acquired. Any difference between the book value and estimated market value is recognized as a charge off through the allowance for loan loss account. Additional other real estate owned and other asset losses may be determined on individual properties at specific intervals or at the time of disposal. Additional losses are recognized as a non-interest expense.

(8) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value. The statement was 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. The values for bank owned life insurance are obtained from stated values from the respective insurance companies. The liability associated with the Company’s derivative is obtained from a quoted value supplied by our correspondent banker.

The table below includes a roll-forward of the consolidated condensed statement of financial condition items for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, (including the change in fair value) for assets and liabilities classified by HopFed Bancorp, Inc. within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, since level 3 assets and liabilities typically include, in addition to the unobservable or level 3 components, observable components (that is components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

(9) ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED SHARES

On December 12, 2008, HopFed Bancorp issued and sold 18,400 shares of preferred stock to the United States Treasury (Treasury) for $18,400,000 pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program. The Company also issued 243,816 common stock warrants to the Treasury as a condition to its participation in the Capital Purchase Program. The warrants have an exercise price of $11.32 each and are immediately exercisable. The warrants expire in ten years from the date of issuance. The preferred stock has no stated maturity and is non-voting, other than having class voting rights on certain matters, and pays cumulative dividends quarterly at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% thereafter.

On September 22, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a 2% common stock dividend to be paid to shareholders of record on September 30, 2010. As a result of the common stock dividend, total shares outstanding increased by 143,458. In addition, the Company is obligated to adjust the number and strike price of warrants issued to the United States Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program.

(11) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Under guidelines of FASB ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging Activities, as amended, all derivative instruments are required to be carried at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position. ASC 815 provides special hedge accounting provisions, which permit the change in fair value of the hedge item related to the risk being hedged to be recognized in earnings in the same period and in the same income statement line as the change in the fair value of the derivative.

A derivative instrument designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges under ASC 815. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Cash value hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument and the fair value related to the risk being hedged of the hedged asset or liability on the consolidated statement of financial position with corresponding offsets recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

29


Table of Contents

 

The adjustment to the hedged asset or liability is included in the basis of the hedged item, while the fair value of the derivative is recorded as a freestanding asset or liability. Actual cash receipts or payments and related amounts accrued during the period on derivatives included in a fair value hedge relationship are recorded as adjustments to the income or expense recorded on the hedged asset or liability.

Under both the fair value and cash flow hedge methods, derivative gains and losses not effective in hedging the change in fair value or expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in the income statement. At the hedge’s inception and at least quarterly thereafter, a formal assessment is performed to determine whether changes in the fair values or cash flows of the derivative instrument has been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of the hedged items and whether they are expected to be highly effective in the future. If it is determined a derivative instrument has not been, or will not continue to be highly effective as a hedge, hedged accounting is discontinued. ASC 815 basis adjustments recorded on hedged assets and liabilities are amortized over the remaining life of the hedged item beginning no later than when hedge accounting ceases. There were no fair value hedging gains or losses, as a result of hedge ineffectiveness, recognized for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 or the year ended December 31, 2009.

In October of 2008, the Bank entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a term of seven years and an amount of $10 million. The Bank will pay a fixed rate of 7.27% for seven years and receive an amount equal to the three-month London Interbank Lending Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.10%. The interest rate swap is classified as a cash flow hedge by the Bank and will be tested quarterly for effectiveness. At December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, the cost of the Bank to terminate the cash flow hedge was approximately $643,000 and $1,414,000, respectively.

 

(12) REGULATORY AGREEMENT

On April 30, 2010, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank, each entered into an informal Memorandum of Understanding “MOU” with its primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). The agreement requires the Company to obtain prior written approval prior to the declaration of a common stock dividend or to receiving a cash dividend from its Bank subsidiary. The Company may continue to pay other normal operating expenses, and may pay interest on HopFed Capital Trust 1 and dividends on preferred stock held by the United States Department of Treasury without regulatory approval if the Bank maintains a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 8.00% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of 12.00%. At September 30, 2010, the Bank’s Tier 1 Ratio was 9.07% and its Total Risk Based Capital was 15.87%.

Under the Bank MOU, among other things, the Bank has agreed to the following: (1) the Bank will not declare or pay any dividends or make other capital distributions, or commit to pay dividends or make other capital distributions, without prior OTS approval; (2) the Bank will adopt a concentration risk reduction plan to reduce the outstanding balance of commercial real estate loans relative to core capital and the allowance for loan losses; and (3) the Bank will not increase brokered deposits without prior OTS approval.

In addition, the MOUs identify actions, policies and procedures to be taken and adopted by the Board of Directors and management of the Company and the Bank, as appropriate, to ensure maintenance of adequate liquidity, monitor and report compliance with the MOUs and certain applicable regulations, reduce the level of classified assets, and correct certain deficiencies and weaknesses identified by the OTS. The MOUs will remain in effect until modified or terminated by the OTS. The Company and the Bank do not expect the actions and limitations required by the MOUs to change their business strategy in any material respect.

The Board of Directors and management of each of the Company and the Bank have taken various actions to comply with the terms and conditions of the MOUs, and will continue to take all actions believed to be necessary for compliance. The Board and management will continue to work closely with the OTS in order to comply with the terms and conditions of the MOUs and are committed to addressing and resolving any and all issues presented in the MOUs.

 

(13) PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK

On June 16, 2010, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett as sole underwriter for the sale of 3,333,334 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share in a public offering. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 500,000 additional shares of Common Stock. The public offering price was $9.00 per share. The net proceeds of the public offering, after underwriting discounts and commissions, were approximately $28.2 million. The public offering closed on June 23, 2010.

On July 16, 2010, Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett elected to exercise its over-allotment option and purchased an additional 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,137,500 from the sale of the additional 250,000 shares.

 

(14) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On November 2, 2010, First Financial Service Corporation (FFKY) filed an 8-K disclosing its intent to defer regularly scheduled interest payments on its junior subordinated notes. Heritage Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of HopFed Bancorp, Inc., owns $2 million of FFKY junior subordinated notes. FFKY may defer interest payments for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty. At September 30, 2010, the Company’s net interest income included approximately $6,664 in accrued interest income that will not be collected as anticipated. The amount of uncollected interest recorded at September 30, 2010, is not material to the Company’s results of operations. On November 3, 2010, the Company reversed all previously accrued but unpaid interest and will discontinue the accrual of interest on the notes until further notice.

The Company has completed an initial credit review of FFKY. This review included review of all publically available regulatory filings for both FFKY and its bank subsidiary, First Financial of Kentucky. At this time, it is management’s opinion that the Company’s investment in FFKY junior subordinated notes is not materially impaired. The Company will continue to monitor all available information concerning the financial condition of FFKY.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, and September 30, 2009, 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 2009 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K.

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the presentation 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 are not limited to, 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 September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009

Total assets increased from $1.03 billion at December 31, 2009 to $1.12 billion at September 30, 2010. Securities available for sale increased from $289.7 million at December 31, 2009 to $389.1 million at September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, securities classified as “available for sale” had an amortized cost of $374.3 million and $284.3 million, respectively.

The Company did not have any federal funds sold at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company has chosen to maintain additional cash balances in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts due to both the very low earnings rate on overnight funds as well as the unlimited FDIC coverage available on non-interest demand deposit accounts. The Company’s holdings of Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) stock, at cost was $4.3 million at December 31, 2009 and $4.4 million at September 30, 2010. Total FHLB borrowings declined $4.7 million, from $102.5 million at December 31, 2009 to $97.8 million at September 30, 2010. Total repurchase balances increased from $36.1 million at December 31, 2009 to $53.5 million at September 30, 2010.

Loan portfolio growth was negative during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. Net loans totaled $621.6 million and $642.4 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Loan demand is weak for consumer, agricultural and commercial loan products. Given the current weakness in the economy, the Company remains highly selective in both its underwriting standards and types of loans being originated.

At September 30, 2010, deposits increased to $831.8 million from $794.1 million at December 31, 2009. The average cost of all deposits during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2009, was 2.04%, 2.71% and 2.74%, respectively. The average cost of all deposits during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, was 2.15% and 2.84%, 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. Given weak loan demand and poor investment alternatives, the Company has chosen to reduce its balances of higher costing time deposits. In the third quarter, the Company reduced its time deposit balances by approximately $11.6 million, consisting largely of institutional and brokered deposits. The Company’s anticipates a further reduction in both FHLB borrowing balances and brokered deposits in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

Net Income. Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $4,928,000, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $1,009,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company’s results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 were adversely affected by a $5.0 million goodwill impairment charge.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was $22.9 million, compared to $19.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to September 30, 2009 was largely due to decline in interest expense on deposits, offsetting declines in the yields on interest earning assets. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, income on tax exempt securities increased to $1.8 million, from $1.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company’s interest income from loans receivable declined by approximately $200,000, to $29.0 million, as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the tax equivalent yield on total interest earning assets declined to 5.56%, from 5.87% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decline in net yields is the result of the continued low interest rate environment in which the Company currently operates.

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company’s cost of interest bearing liabilities was 2.50% and 3.15%, respectively. The lower cost of interest bearing liabilities was the result of lower short term interest rates.

Average Balances, Yields and Interest Expenses. The table below summarizes the overall effect of changes in both interest rates and the average balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009. 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 nine-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 $832 for September 30, 2010, and $488 for September 30, 2009, for a tax equivalent rate using a cost of funds rate of 2.50% for September 30, 2010 and 3.00% for September 30, 2009. The table adjusts tax-free loan income by $42 for September 30, 2010 and $35 for September 30, 2009, for a tax equivalent rate using the same cost of funds rate:

Interest Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company’s total interest income was $40.0 million. As loan demand has slowed down, the Company continues to have a greater dependency on investment income. The average balance of loans receivable increased from $629.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $635.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and increase of $6.1 million. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities declined from 107.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 107.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense declined approximately $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The decline was attributable to lower market interest rates and the re-pricing of higher costing deposits, offsetting a $56.0 million increase in the average balance of total interest bearing liabilities as compared to September 30, 2009. The average cost of interest-bearing retail deposits declined from 3.03% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 to 2.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing retail deposits increased $58.3 million, from $620.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $679.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The average cost of brokered deposits declined from 3.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 2.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Over the same period, the average balance of brokered deposits increased $14.7 million, from $69.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $84.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The average cost of all deposits declined from 2.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, to 2.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The average balance of funds borrowed from the FHLB declined $28.1 million, from $122.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, to $94.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The average cost of borrowed funds from the FHLB increased from 3.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, to 3.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The average balance of repurchase agreements increased from $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, to $41.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The average cost of repurchase agreements declined from 2.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, to 1.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The reduction in the cost of repurchase agreements is limited due to two long term agreements with third parties that are fixed. The repurchase agreements, totaling $16 million, had a weighted average cost of 4.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

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 and 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 $2.8 million in provision for loan loss was required for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to a $3.3 million in provision for loan loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, income from financial services was $776,000 compared to $738,000 for the same period in 2009. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company realized gains on the sale of investments totaling $1,786,000, as compared to $1,581,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company realized gains on the sale of real estate owned totaling $356,000. No gains on the sale of other real estate were realized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company experienced a $166,000 decline in service charge income as compared to September 30, 2009.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was a $4.6 million decline in total non-interest expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The most significant variance was a $5.0 million goodwill impairment charge taken in 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compensation expense increased to $9.6 million compared to $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Other non-interest expenses that increased more than $100,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes data processing expenses and professional services expenses.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

Net Income. Net income available for common shareholders to the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,508,000, compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $2,875,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The Company’s results for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2009 were adversely affected by a $5.0 million goodwill impairment charge. Without the impairment charge, net of related taxes, the Company’s net income available to common shareholders for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 would have been $418,000. Additional improvements in the Company’s operating results are the result of an improved net interest margin and higher levels of interest earning assets.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 was $7.7 million, compared to $6.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to September 30, 2009 was largely due to an $1.1 million decline in interest expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the tax equivalent yield on total interest earning assets declined to 5.34% from 5.86% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company’s cost of interest bearing liabilities was 2.40% and 3.05%, respectively. The lower cost of interest bearing liabilities was the result of lower short term interest rates and the re-pricing of time deposits.

Average Balances, Yields and Interest Expenses. The table below summarizes the overall effect of changes in both interest rates and the average balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009. 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 $292 for September 30, 2010, and $192 for September 30, 2009, for a tax equivalent rate using a cost of funds rate of 2.40% for September 30, 2010 and 3.00% for September 30, 2009. The table adjusts tax-free loan income by $10 for September 30, 2010 and $9 for September 30, 2009, for a tax equivalent rate using the same cost of funds rate:

Interest Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company’s total interest income was $13.2 million, as compared to $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decline is primarily the result in a lower average balance of loans outstanding as compared to the same period in 2009. The average balance of loans receivable declined $17.5 million, to $623.4 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $640.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, the average tax equivalent yield on loans was 6.04%, as compared to 6.18% for the three month period ended September 30, 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense declined approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The decline was attributable to lower market interest rates and the re-pricing of higher costing deposits, offsetting a $53.2 million increase in the average balance of total interest bearing liabilities as compared to September 30, 2009. The average cost of interest-bearing retail deposits declined from 2.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 2.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing retail deposits increased $56.2 million, from $635.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $691.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The average cost of all deposits declined from 2.71% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, to 2.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The average balance of funds borrowed from the FHLB declined $29.5 million, from $119.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, to $89.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The average cost of borrowed funds from the FHLB increased from 3.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, to 3.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The average balance of repurchase agreements increased from $29.5 million for the three months ended at September 30, 2009, to $46.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The average cost of repurchase agreements declined from 2.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, to 1.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The reduction in the cost of repurchase agreements is limited due to two long term agreements with third parties that are fixed. The repurchase agreements, totaling $16 million, had a weighted average cost of 4.31% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

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 $1.3 million provision for loan loss was required for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to a $1.4 million provision for loan loss expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Non-Interest Income. There was a $1.0 million increase in non-interest income in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, service charge income was $953,000, a decline of $165,000 over the same period in 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, income from financial services was $293,000, compared to $262,000 for the same period in 2009. For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company realized gains on the sale of securities totaling $1.1 million, as compared to $114,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the three month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized a $63,000 gain on the sale of other real estate owned. The Company recognized a $23,000 loss on the sale of real estate owned during the three month period ended September 30, 2009.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was a $4.8 million decline in total non-interest expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, compensation expense was the only non-interest expense item to increase by more the $100,000 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The Company’s $5.0 million goodwill impairment charge at September 30, 2009 is the most significant reason for the decline in non-interest expenses in the three month period ended September 30, 2010.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was 30.8%, or $788,000, compared to a tax benefit of $1.5 million for the same period in 2009.

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 Company is required to seek approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to the declaration of a dividend to common shareholders.

The Bank’s principal sources of funds for operations are deposits from its primary market areas, principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from maturing investment securities and cash flow from amortizing investments. The Company estimates that its CMO and mortgage backed security portfolio will provide more than $5 million in cash flow over the remaining three months of 2010. Additional cash flows from agency securities are highly dependent on market interest rates. However, management anticipates that approximately $15 million in agency securities will be called due to their one time call feature and relatively high coupon rate.

As discussed in Note 12 of Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements section of this report, the Bank may not increase the amount of brokered deposits outstanding without prior written approval from the OTS Regional Director. The Bank uses brokered deposits to supplement its asset liability need for longer term deposits at reasonable prices. In addition to the coupon rate listed below, brokered deposits carry an additional 0.25% that includes the cost of selling and servicing the deposits. The Company includes this cost as an interest expense on its income statement.

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 September 30, 2010, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Management believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

The Bank’s FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket security agreement pledging the Bank’s 1-4 family first mortgage loans and non-residential real estate loans. At September 30, 2010, the Bank has pledged all eligible 1-4 family first mortgages, home equity lines of credit and non-residential real estate loans that may be pledged under this agreement.

At September 30, 2010, the Bank has outstanding borrowings of $97.8 million from the FHLB with maturities ranging twenty-eight days to eight years and three months. In the next six months, the Bank has $25 million of FHLB borrowings that will mature with a weighted average rate of 2.60%. A schedule of FHLB borrowings at September 30, 2010 is provided below:

At September 30, 2010, the Bank had $36.7 million in additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB which includes an overnight line of credit and $8 million in overnight borrowing capacity from the Company’s correspondent bank.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance 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 Bank uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At September 30, 2010, the Company has the following off-balance sheet commitments (in thousands):

 

Standby letters of credit

   $ 1,591   

Unused home equity lines of credit

   $ 30,319   

Unused commercial lines of credit

   $ 11,627

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 December 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 810, Consolidations. This accounting guidance was originally issued in June 2009 and is now included in ASC 810. The guidance amends the consolidation guidance applicable for variable interest entities. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The new guidance clarifies two existing disclosure requirements and requires two new disclosures as follows: (1) a “gross” presentation of activities (purchases, sales, and settlements) within the Level 3 roll-forward reconciliation, which will replace the “net” presentation format; and (2) detailed disclosures about the transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements. This guidance is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll-forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim reporting periods within those years. The Company adopted the fair value disclosures guidance on January 1, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll-forward information which is not required to be adopted by the Company until January 1, 2011.

On January 1, 2010, the FASB amended Accounting Standards Update No. 810 by issuing Update 2010-10 to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC 810 was effective January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The objective of this disclosure guidance is to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio. The new disclosure requirements will be required for both quarterly and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this disclosure on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The actual results of the Company’s asset liability management analysis are highly dependent on the prepayment speed of mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The United States Treasury’s policy of purchasing longer dated Treasury bonds has the result of lowering mortgage loan rates, allowing more consumers to refinance their mortgages and pay-off their current mortgage, resulting in higher prepayment speeds on mortgage investment products.

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 ending December 31, 2010 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 September 30, 2010.

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 months ended September 30, 2010 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.

The Company is subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management to assess and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed into law. Section 989G of the law states that non-accelerated files (the Company is currently a non-accelerated filer) are now exempt from the requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s Section 404(b) that requires the Company’s external auditor to attest to the Company’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting. The annual measurement period for this exemption is June 30th of each year.

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 September 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

No material pending proceedings

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009:

Legislation was enacted on July 21, 2010 that will implement sweeping changes to the current bank regulatory structure. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) will eliminate the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Comptroller of the Currency (the primary federal regulator for national banks) will become the primary federal regulator of the Bank. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) will have exclusive authority to regulate all bank and thrift holding companies. As a result, the Company will become subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board as opposed to the Office of Thrift Supervision. These changes to our regulators will occur on the transfer date, which is expected to be one year from the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act (unless extended by up to six months).

Among the many requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act for new banking regulations is a requirement for new capital regulations to be adopted within 18 months. These regulations must be at least as stringent as, and may call for higher levels of capital than, current regulations. Generally, trust preferred securities will no longer be eligible as Tier 1 capital, but the Company’s currently outstanding trust preferred securities will be grandfathered. Savings and loan holding companies like the Company have not previously been subject to capital requirements, but under the Dodd-Frank Act, five years from the date of enactment, savings and loan holding companies will become subject to the same capital requirements as bank holding companies. Savings and loan holding companies are immediately subject to the source of strength doctrine, under which a holding company must serve as a source of financial strength for its depository institution subsidiaries.

The Dodd-Frank Act also establishes a new minimum reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund of 1.35%, and requires the FDIC to take steps to reach this ratio by September 30, 2020. It is expected that this will result in relatively higher assessments for larger institutions (with assets greater than $10 billion).

Regulatory Matters

On April 30, 2010, the Company and the Bank each entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). This informal agreement places additional reporting and operational requirements on the Company and Bank. Among other things, the Bank is required to reduce the level of commercial real estate loans to Total Risk Based Capital. This requirement may result in lower levels of commercial real estate loans, reducing the Bank’s ability to continue to pursue its current strategy to grow its loan portfolio and net interest income.

There can be no assurance of whether or when the Company may pay dividends in the future. Cash available to pay dividend to our shareholders is derived primarily, if not entirely, from dividends paid to the Company from the Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company, as well as the Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders, is limited by regulatory and legal restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient capital at the Bank. The MOU with the OTS restricts the Company from declaring or paying any dividends or other capital distributions to common shareholders without prior OTS approval.

This dividend restriction does not apply to cash dividends on currently outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to and held by the United States Department of the Treasury and obligations in connection with currently outstanding trust preferred securities, provided that such dividend payment or distribution of capital does not cause the Bank’s capital levels to fall below a Tier 1 core capital ratio of 8.00% and a total risk based capital ratio of 12.00%. At September 30, 2010, the Bank’s Tier 1 core capital ratio was 9.0% and its total risk based capital ratio was 15.87%. The Company may also decide to limit the payment of dividends even when it has the legal ability to pay them in order to retain earnings for use in its business. The Company is restricted from paying dividends if it has deferred payments of the interest on, or an event of default has occurred with respect to, its trust preferred securities or Series A Preferred Stock.
