ROEBLING FINANCIAL CORP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Roebling Financial Corp, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However, such information presented reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period.

The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending September 30, 2010, or any other future interim period.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for unearned shares of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”).  Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to include the effect of outstanding stock options and compensation grants, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

The following is a summary of the Company’s earnings per share calculations:

NOTE 6 – BENEFIT PLANS

Stock Option Plan

The Company has stock option plans (“Plans”) which authorize the issuance of up to 168,746 shares upon the exercise of stock options that may be awarded to officers, directors, key employees, and other persons providing services to the Company.  Shares issued on the exercise of options may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares acquired on the open market.  The options granted under the Plans constitute either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Incentive Stock Options.  The options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and expire not more than 10 years after the date of grant.  At December 31, 2009, there were 16,434 shares remaining for future option awards.

On October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised), (“SFAS 123(R)”), Share-Based Payment (Codified into Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718).  SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  Under SFAS 123(R), compensation cost is recognized prospectively for new and modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards.  Results for prior periods have not been restated.  Prior to October 1, 2006, the Company accounted for these Plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25 and related interpretations using the intrinsic value method.  In accordance with APB 25, no compensation cost related to these Plans was reflected in net income prior to fiscal 2007, as all options granted under the Plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date.   No stock option expense was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2009 or 2008 because all options were fully vested prior to fiscal 2007.

Restricted Stock Plan

The Company has restricted stock plans (“Plans”) which provide for the award of shares of restricted stock to directors, officers and employees.  The Plans provide for the purchase of 67,496 shares of common stock in the open market to fund such awards.  All of the Common Stock to be purchased by the Plans is purchased at the fair market value on the date of purchase.  Awards under the Plans are made in recognition of expected future services to the Company by its directors, officers, and key employees responsible for implementation of the policies adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and as a means of providing a further retention incentive.  Compensation expense on Plan shares is recognized over the vesting periods based on the market value of the stock on the date of grant.  Recipients of awards receive compensation payments equal to dividends paid prior to the date of vesting within 30 days of each dividend payment date.  As of December 31, 2009, there were 21,404 shares remaining for future awards.  Compensation expense for the Plans was approximately $4,000 and $12,000, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective upon the consummation of the Bank’s initial stock offering, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") was established for all eligible employees who have completed a twelve-month period of employment with the Bank and at least 1,000 hours of service, and have attained the age of 21.  The ESOP used $156,800 in proceeds from a term loan to purchase 62,149 shares of Bank common stock during the stock offering.  In fiscal 2004, the ESOP purchased 72,861 shares of common stock in the second-step conversion with the proceeds of a $776,000 loan from the Company, which has a 10-year term and an interest rate of 4.75%.  $47,000 of the proceeds was used to pay off the prior outstanding debt.

Shares purchased with the loan proceeds were initially pledged as collateral for the loans and are held in a suspense account for future allocation among participants.  Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account are in an amount proportional to the loan repayment. Shares are allocated among the participants on the basis of compensation, as described by the ESOP, in the year of allocation.

The ESOP is accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6, "Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans" (Codified into ASC Topic 718), which was issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in November 1993.  Accordingly, the ESOP shares pledged as collateral are reported as unallocated ESOP shares in the statements of financial condition.  As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Bank reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for basic net income per common share computations.  ESOP compensation expense was approximately $12,000 and $14,000 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

On October 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," (“SFAS 157”) (codified into ASC Topic 820), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.   SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.   SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, rather than an entry price that would be paid to acquire an asset or liability.   SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), and assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).  The fair value hierarchy levels are summarized as follows:
 

 
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 
Level 2:
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or observable market data.

 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs where there is little, if any, market activity and that are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.

Determination of the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2009 measured at fair value, segregated by fair value hierarchy level, are summarized below:

A loan is deemed to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans are evaluated at the time they are identified as impaired and, if collateral-dependent, are valued at the lower of the recorded investment or the fair value of the

collateral.   If a valuation adjustment is required, a specific allowance is established, with a transfer from the general valuation allowance.  Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.   Impaired loans had outstanding balances of $5,764,000 and $5,198,000 at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively, with valuation allowances of $1,545,000 and $1,435,000, respectively.  At December 31, 2009, impaired loans of $5.7 million had associated valuation allowances of $1,545,000, while $49,000 in impaired loans had no valuation allowances.  The average balance of impaired loans outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $5.3 million and $560,000, respectively.  $3,000 of Interest income was recognized on impaired loans during the three months ended December 31, 2009.  No interest income was recognized on impaired loans during the three months ended December 31, 2008.

Real estate owned represents properties that have been acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.   The assets are written down to fair value less estimated costs to sell, based on the appraised value at the time of foreclosure.  Subsequent valuations are periodically performed and if the value has declined, an allowance would be established with a charge to operations.  No additional impairment was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2009.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Certificates of Deposit

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair value.

Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities

Fair values for securities, excluding restricted equity securities, are based on quoted market prices.  The carrying values of restricted equity securities approximate fair values.

Loans Receivable

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for certain mortgage loans and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  Fair values for commercial real estate and commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits and money market accounts are the amounts payable on demand. The fair values of certificates of deposit are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.  The discount rate was estimated using the rate currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values.  Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 
10

 

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock is valued at cost.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded. Their fair value would approximate fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements.

Deposits
    136,917       138,744  
Borrowed funds
    15,000       15,279  

 
The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments.  Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.  Further, the foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that could be realized if all or substantially all of the financial instruments were offered for sale.

In addition, the fair value estimates were based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value the anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets and liabilities include real estate owned, premises and equipment, and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance.  In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.


 
11

 

Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments.  The lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.


NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has considered whether any events or transactions occurring after December 31, 2009 would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements as of or for the three months ended December 31, 2009.  Such evaluation was made through February 12, 2010, the date the financial statements are being issued.  No such subsequent events were identified.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements.  When used in this discussion, the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “contemplates”, “expects”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.   Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, the ability to control costs and expenses, the impact of our new branches, new legislation and regulations, and general economic conditions.  The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

           The Company's business is conducted primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Roebling Bank (the "Bank"). References to the Company or Registrant refer to the consolidated entity which includes the main operating company, the Bank, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Overview

At December 31, 2009, the Company had total assets, deposits, borrowings and stockholders’ equity of $170.0 million, $136.9 million, $15.0 million and $16.2 million, respectively.  For the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $81,000, or $.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of $147,000, or $.09 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008.  The net loss is primarily attributable to significant provisions for loan losses, which totaled $425,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $70,000 for the 2008 period.

Changes in Financial Condition

Total assets decreased by $2.3 million, or 1.4%, to $170.0 million at December 31, 2009, from $172.3 million at September 30, 2009.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a $3.5 million decrease in investment securities and a $1.8 million decrease in the loans receivable, net, portfolio, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $1.6 million increase in other assets and a $382,000 increase in real estate owned (“REO”).  Securities available for sale decreased by 8.5%, to $37.9 million at December 31, 2009 from $41.4 million at September 30, 2009.  Investment securities totaling $3.0 million were purchased during the three months ended December 31, 2009, while payments and maturities on investment securities totaled $6.5 million.  Loans receivable, net, decreased by 1.6%, to $116.6 million at December 31, 2009 from $118.4 million at September 30, 2009.  A large part of the decrease resulted as the Company obtained deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure on the properties securing two loans with $1.2 million in principal balances.  REO balances increased to $1.6 million at December 31, 2009, from $1.2 million at September 30, 2009.  New properties acquired added $691,000 to the REO balances during the quarter, net of charges-offs of $476,000, while the sales of two properties reduced the REO balances by $309,000.  Other assets increased to $3.9 million at December 31, 2009, from $2.3 million at September 30, 2009.  $1.2 million of that increase is due to the prepayment on December 30, 2009 of the estimated FDIC deposit insurance assessments calculated through 2012.  The FDIC amended the assessment regulations to require this prepayment, which will be applied against actual future quarterly assessments.  Deposits decreased by $4.3 million, or 3.1%, to $136.9 million at December 31, 2009 from $141.2 million at September 30, 2009.  The change in deposits is primarily attributable to a $5.0 million withdrawal of short-term municipal funds.  Borrowed funds increased by $2.0 million, to $15.0 million at December 31, 2009 from $13.0 million at September 30, 2009.  Stockholders’ equity decreased $86,000 to $16.2 million at December 31, 2009 from $16.3 million at September 30, 2009.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the net loss of $81,000 for the quarter.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income.   For the three-months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported net interest income before provision for loan losses of $1,392,000, compared to $1,372,000 for the same period in 2008.  The increase in net interest income was the result of a decrease in interest expense of $141,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $121,000.  The Company’s spread improved slightly, as the overall cost of funds decreased 61 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period, while the average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased by 54 basis points for the same period. As a result, the interest rate spread increased by 7 basis points, to 3.12% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to 3.05% for the same 2008 period.  The net interest margin decreased by 9 basis points, to 3.47% from 3.56%, in the same time period.

The average balance of total interest-earning assets for the three months ended December 31, 2009 increased by $6.7 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008, while the average yield decreased to 5.08% from 5.62%.  The decrease in total interest income of $121,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 is comprised of a decrease in interest income of $43,000 on loans receivable and a decrease of $78,000 in interest income from securities and other interest-earning assets.  Average loan receivable balances increased by $8.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period, while the average yield decreased to 5.39% from 5.96%.  For the three months ended December 31, 2009, the average balance of securities and other interest-earning assets decreased by $1.8 million compared to the same 2008 period, while the average yield decreased to 4.19% from 4.74%.

The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $8.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to same 2008 period, while the average cost decreased to 1.96% from 2.57%.  The decrease in total interest expense of $141,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 is comprised primarily of a $177,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by a $36,000 increase in interest expense on borrowings.  Average interest-bearing deposit balances increased by $5.9 million with a decrease in the average cost to 1.81% for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to 2.54% for the same 2008 period, while average borrowings increased by $3.0 million, with an increase in the average cost to 3.42% from 3.00%.

Provision for Loan Losses.   The provision for loan losses was $425,000 and $70,000 for the three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  At December 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $2,868,000 (2.40% of the loan portfolio) compared to $2,920,000 (2.41% of the loan portfolio) at September 30, 2009.  Charge-offs of $477,000 and $86,000 were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The increase in the provision is primarily due to a decline in the value of the collateral securing our impaired loans, which the Company believes is a reflection of the economy and declining real estate values.  The charge-offs for the three months ended December 31, 2009 are primarily the result of the write-down to fair value, less costs to sell, of properties acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure.  Non-performing loans were $6.5 million or 5.47% of total loans at December 31, 2009, compared to $6.9 million or 5.66% at September 30, 2009 and $1.4 million or 1.23% at December 31, 2008.  Management continually monitors and adjusts the allowance for loan losses based upon its analysis of the loan portfolio.  This analysis includes an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions, industry loss reserve levels, adverse situations which may affect the borrower, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and other relevant factors.  However, there can be no assurance that additions to the allowance for loan losses will not be required in future periods or that actual losses will not exceed estimated amounts.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $7,000, to $131,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $124,000 for the same 2008 period.  Loan fees increased by $10,000, or 83.3%, while account servicing and other fees decreased by $5,000, or 4.5% and gain on sale of loans increased by $2,000 during the same periods.  The increase in loan fees is primarily attributable to an increase in late charges and prepayment fees collected, while the decrease in account servicing and other fees is due primarily to lower non-sufficient and uncollected fund fees.
 
Non-interest Expense.   Non-interest expense increased $43,000, or 3.6%, to $1,243,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, from $1,200,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase in non-interest expense resulted primarily from increases in federal deposit insurance premiums, real estate and repossessed assets expense and other expense, partially offset by a decrease in compensation and benefits.  Federal deposit insurance premiums increased by $57,000, to $82,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $25,000 for the same 2008 period.  These premiums represent the cost of our FDIC deposit insurance assessments and increased as a result of higher assessment rates.  Real estate and repossessed assets expense increased to $30,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $4,000 for the prior year.  The REO expense reflects the holding costs of an increased number of properties, as well as a loss on the sale of one of the properties.  Other expense increased by $56,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period, with the increase largely due to legal, collection and servicing costs on non-performing loans.  Partially offsetting these increases was a $93,000 decrease in compensation and benefits, to $582,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $675,000 for the same 2008 period.  The decrease is a reflection of cost-cutting measures taken as we reduced director fees, eliminated several staff positions, and eliminated bonuses and the 401K match.
 
Income Taxes.  The Company recorded a tax benefit of $64,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, resulting in an effective tax benefit rate of 44.1%.  For the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded tax expense of $79,000, resulting in an effective tax rate of 35.0%.  The decrease in tax expense is primarily attributable to the decrease in earnings.

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current commitments.  As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had outstanding commitments to fund loans of $1.6 million, commitments on unused lines of credit of $13.2 million, undisbursed construction loans of $741,000 and $17,000 in outstanding letters of credit.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less as of December 31, 2009 totaled $49.3 million. Based on historical deposit withdrawals and outflows, and on internal monthly deposit reports monitored by management, management believes that a majority of such deposits will remain with the Company.
