[LETTERHEAD OF PATAPSCO BANCORP, INC.]
  
Dear Shareholder,
 
The directors, officers and staff of Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. and The Patapsco Bank respectfully present this 2011 Annual Report to shareholders.
 
While significantly less than in previous years, the pretax loss incurred in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 also resulted from the elevated level of costs associated with non-performing assets.  These costs are primarily provisions for losses on loans and real estate acquired in foreclosure as well as the professional fees associated with moving problem assets through the court system.
 
The after-tax loss increased in 2011 v. 2010 as a result of a new interpretation of an accounting rule concerning the value of tax benefits accrued in previous years.  The Company therefore incurred a large tax expense in the year ended June 30, 2011 even while  experiencing  an operating loss.
 
Loans outstanding decreased in the year as payoffs and amortization exceeded new loan production.  While our loan pipeline has increased in recent months, it remains low compared to pre-recession levels.    The slow growth economy and high unemployment have made many businesses and individuals reluctant to take on additional debt.   Many customers who are applying for credit are attempting to refinance existing loans as opposed to using additional funds to grow the business.
 
Our goals for the following year include working out of our problem assets and growing the loan portfolio by identifying those qualified businesses that are seeking a local bank to partner with.     The core bank provides a solid foundation to help navigate through these challenging times and to take advantage of future opportunities.   Additionally we are working hard to ensure that the Company remains in compliance with the myriad and increasing number of regulations that we are subject to as a publicly traded commercial bank.
 
In October 2010, the Bank celebrated its 100th anniversary with small gatherings in each of our branches.  While recent years have been difficult, we are proud to have served the Baltimore Community for an entire century.
 
The Board of Directors and management thank you for your continued support.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

 
General

The Company’s results of operations depend primarily on its level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities, and other investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and junior subordinated debentures.  The net interest income earned on average interest-earning assets (“net interest margin”) and the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities have a significant impact on net interest income.  The Company’s net interest margin is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan and deposit flows.  The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis than its interest-bearing liabilities.  To a lesser extent, the Company’s results of operations are also affected by the amount of its noninterest income, including loan fees and service charges, and levels of noninterest expense, which consists principally of compensation and employee benefits, insurance premiums, professional fees, equipment expense, occupancy costs, advertising, data processing and other operating expenses.

The Company’s operating results are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, in particular, changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions taken by regulatory authorities.  Lending activities are influenced by general economic conditions, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds.  Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, account maturities and the level of personal income and savings in the Company’s market area.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Annual Report, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company’s market area, competition and the Risk Factors set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011 that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected.  The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the industry in which it operates.  Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments.  Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are necessary when financial instruments are required to be recorded at fair value or when the decline in the value of an asset carried on the balance sheet at historic cost requires an impairment write-down or a valuation reserve to be established.

The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) represents an amount, that in the judgment of management, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on outstanding loans and leases that may become uncollectible.  The allowance represents an estimate made based upon two principles of accounting: (1) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450, “Contingencies”, that requires losses to be accrued when their occurrence is probable and estimable, and (2) ASC Topic 310,”Receivables”, that requires losses be accrued when it is probable that the lender will not collect all principal and interest when due under the original terms of the loan.  The adequacy of the allowance is determined through careful evaluation of the loan portfolio.  This determination is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates, including estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of the current economic environment and other qualitative factors that may be subject to change.  Loans and leases deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to it.  The level of the allowance is adjusted through the provision for loan losses that is recorded as a current period expense.

The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes a specific allowance, a formula allowance and a nonspecific allowance. The specific allowance is for risk rated non-homogeneous credits on an individual basis. The formula allowance reflects historical losses by credit category. The nonspecific allowance captures losses whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the specific allowance or the formula allowance.  The factors used in determining the nonspecific allowance include trends in delinquencies, trends in volumes and terms of loans, the size of loans relative to the allowance, concentration of credits, the quality of the risk identification system and credit administration and local and national economic trends.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 310, the Company determines and recognizes impairment of certain loans.  A loan is determined to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  A loan is not considered impaired during a period of insignificant delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including past-due interest.  The Company generally considers a period of insignificant delay in payment to include delinquency up to and including 90 days.  ASC Topic 310 requires that impairment be measured through a comparison of the loan’s carrying amount to the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

ASC Topic 310 is generally applicable for all loans except large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are evaluated collectively for impairment, including residential first and second mortgage loans and consumer installment loans.  Impaired loans are therefore generally comprised of commercial mortgage, real estate development, and commercial business loans.  In addition, impaired loans are generally loans which management has placed in non-accrual status since loans are placed in non-accrual status on the earlier of the date that management determines that the collection of principal and/or interest is in doubt or the date that principal or interest is 90 days or more past due.

Management believes that the allowance is adequate.  However, its determination requires significant judgment, and estimates of the probable losses in the loan and lease portfolio can vary significantly from losses that actually occur.

Real estate acquired through foreclosure and other repossessed assets are initially recorded at the estimated fair value, net of estimated selling costs, and subsequently at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair value is determined utilizing third party appraisals, broker price opinions or other similar methods.  Fair value is updated at least annually and more often if circumstances dictate.  Costs relating to holding such property are charged against income in the current period, while costs relating to improving such real estate are capitalized until a salable condition is reached.

Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are acquired as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, loan demand, changes in prepayment risk and other factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses based on the difference between amortized cost and fair value, reported net of deferred tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses, using the specific identification method, are included as a separate component of non-interest income. Related interest and dividends are included in interest income.  Declines in the fair value of individual securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value through either a charge to earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income depending upon the nature of the loss.  Management must assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery.  These steps are done before assessing whether the entity will recover the cost basis of the investment.  Other factors affecting the determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred include a downgrading of the security by a rating agency or a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer.  See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further explanation. 

Deferred income taxes are reported for temporary differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes.  Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability method.  Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in an institution’s income tax returns.  Deferred tax assets are deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards.  After the deferred tax asset has been measured using the applicable enacted tax rate and provisions of the enacted tax law, it is then necessary to assess the need for a valuation allowance.  A valuation allowance is needed when, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  As required by GAAP, available evidence is weighted heavily on cumulative losses with less weight placed on future projected profitability.  Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income of the appropriate character in the period during which deductible temporary differences reverse or within the carryback and carryforward periods available under tax law.  Based upon the available evidence, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $2.2 million at June 30, 2011.   Subsequent to recording this valuation allowance, the deferred tax asset balance was zero at June 30, 2011.  The deferred tax provision for the year is equal to the net change in the net deferred tax asset from the beginning to the end of the year, less amounts applicable to the change in value related to investments available for sale.  The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Average Balance, Interest and Average Yields and Rates

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated.  Dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, derives such yields and costs for the periods presented.  Average balances are derived from daily balances.

The table also presents information for the periods indicated with respect to the institution’s net interest margin, which is net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets.  This is an important indicator of commercial bank profitability.  The net interest margin is affected by yields on interest-earning assets, the costs of interest-bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Another indicator of an institution’s net interest income is the interest rate spread or the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2011 and 2010

General. Total assets decreased by $5.1 million or 1.9% to $264.6 million at June 30, 2011 from $269.7 million at June 30, 2010.  The decline in assets was a function of the decline in loans receivable.
 
 
8

 

Loans Receivable. Gross loans receivable decreased by $13.9 million, or 6.9%, to $186.8 million at June 30, 2011 from $200.7 million at June 30, 2010.  Construction loans decreased by $4.9 million, or 28.6%, while commercial business loans decreased by $4.2 million, or 7.5%.  In addition, commercial leases decreased by $3.1 million, or 61% as management made a strategic decision to cease origination of this product in October, 2008.  Residential mortgages decreased by $5.9 million, or 9.6% and consumer loans decreased $2.4 million or 16.2%.  Offsetting these declines, in part, were commercial real estate loans which increased $6.7 million, or 14.6%.  Much of this increase resulted from construction loans which converted to permanent financing during the year.  The overall decline in the loan portfolio also reflects lower loan demand during the year and a high level of early pay-offs of residential mortgages.

The following table sets forth selected data relating to the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of gross loans other than as disclosed below:

Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do not reflect the actual life of such assets.  The average life of loans is substantially less than their contractual terms because of prepayments.

Investment Securities.   Total investment securities increased $14.3 million or 56.2% as the lower level of loan demand led to a higher level of securities purchases during the year.  Collateralized mortgage obligations, all of which are issued by U.S. Government agencies, increased by $16.9 million, or 511.5% in the year ended June 30, 2011. Mortgage-backed securities, which were also all issued by U.S. Government agencies, decreased by $2.9 million, or 41.7% in the year ended June 30, 2011.  Corporate bonds increased by $1.4 million, or 95.6%, to $3.0 million at June 30, 2011.    U.S. government agency securities decreased by $1.1 million, or 8.2%, to $12.5 million at June 30, 2011 from $13.6 million at June 30, 2010.  Stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond decreased by $562,000 due to the membership requirements of these organizations.  The Company did not own U.S. Agency common or preferred stock as of June 30, 2011.

Deposits.  Total deposits increased by $2.5 million, or 1.1% to $231.3 million at June 30, 2011 from $228.8 million at June 30, 2010.  A decrease in certificates of deposit of $9.1 million was more than offset by an increase in money market accounts of $14.9 million.  Our customers’ preference for more liquid deposit products in the face of declining rates caused the decline in certificates of deposit, while a successful money market promotion was responsible for the strong growth in money market deposits.  The balance of brokered deposits at June 30, 2011 was $120,000 versus $484,000 at June 30, 2010.

Borrowings. The Company’s long-term borrowings decreased by $5.1 million, or 29.8%, to $12.0 million at June 30, 2011 from $17.1 million at June 30, 2010.  Low loan demand and the resulting decline in loan balances during the year mitigated the need for wholesale funds.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

The Company recorded a net loss available to common shareholders of $3.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011 compared to net loss of $2.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.  The net loss available to common shareholders in the current year resulted from $3.1 million in credit costs as the provision for loan losses totaled $2.7 million, reflecting  $2.1 million in net charge-offs, as well as $360,000 in costs associated with foreclosed real estate.  In addition, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $2.2 million at June 30, 2011 versus $0 at June 30, 2010.

Net Interest Income.  The Company’s net interest income decreased $7,000 from $8.46 million in the year ended June 30, 2010 to $8.45 million in the current year as average interest-earning assets increased $5.5 million or 2.2% to $254.2 million, but was more than offset by the net interest margin which declined 8 basis points from 3.40% in the year ended June 30, 2010 to 3.32% in 2011.

The decline in the net interest margin was caused primarily by the yield on earning assets declining at a slightly faster rate than the cost of funds.  The impact of the shift in asset mix from loans to investments was a primary driver of the declines in yields/rates on interest- earning/bearing assets and liabilities.  In addition, the decline in market interest rates also lowered the yield on earning assets.

Interest Income.  Total interest income decreased by $1.2 million or 8.6% to $12.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2011 compared to $13.8 million in the year ended June 30, 2010.  This decrease was due to a 58 basis point decline in yield partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets.  The lower yield is primarily the result of the above mentioned shift in asset mix from loans to investments in addition to a decline in market interest rates.  Average interest earning assets grew $5.5 million, or 2.2%, and was driven by a $15.2 million, or 76.6%, increase in the investment portfolio and an $8.6 million, or 57.9%, increase in cash equivalent investments combined with a $18.2 million, or 8.5%, decrease in average loan balances.  Loan demand continued to be weak throughout 2010 and 2011, consistent with the economy’s muted recovery from the previous recession.  Management’s decision to exit the lease origination business in October, 2008 also contributed to this decline in loan balances.

Interest income generated by the investment portfolio increased $244,000 in 2011 due to a $15.2 million, or 76.6%, increase in average balances which more than offset the 72 basis point decline in portfolio yield.  Interest on short-term investments and other interest-earning assets increased $30,000, or 90.9%, to $63,000 in fiscal year 2011 due to a $8.6 million increase in average balances and a 5 basis point improvement in the yield during this period.  The increase in investment securities as well as short-term investment balances is a function of lower loan demand and strong average deposit growth.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $1.2 million from $5.4 million in the year ended June 30, 2010 to $4.2 million in the current year as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 56 basis points from 2.30% in 2010 to 1.74% in 2011.  Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $8.0 million or 3.4% from $234.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2010 to $242.1 million in the current year.

The decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was due to the decrease in market rates as maturing certificates of deposit were replaced with lower cost funds and money market deposit rates reset lower as competition for deposits continued to moderate during fiscal year 2011.  The average rate paid on certificates of deposit was 66 basis points lower while the average rate on money market deposits was 47 basis points lower.  The Company continues to run a money market promotion offering customers a temporarily higher interest rate for a limited period of time.  This promotion contributed to a $22.3 million increase in the average balance of money market accounts for the year ended June 30, 2011 versus the prior year.

Deposits averaged $223.1 million in 2011, a $16.9 million, or 8.2%, increase versus $206.2 million in 2010.   The primary driver of this growth was money market deposits which grew $22.3 million, or 31.1%, due to the promotion mentioned above.  Certificates of deposits declined $5.8 million on average, or 5.7%, as customers exhibited a preference for more liquid deposits.  During the first quarter of the current year passbook deposits were no longer offered to customers.  The existing balances were transferred to the statement savings product.  The combined average balances of both savings products declined $124,000 in fiscal year 2011 as compared to 2010.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $324,000 to $860,000 in 2011 compared to $1.2 million in 2010 as average balances were $8.9 million lower in 2011.  The average rate paid on borrowings increased 26 basis points in 2011 as shorter-term borrowings matured leaving higher rate longer term borrowings.  No new long-term borrowings were issued during the current year.

Provision for Loan Losses.  Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan losses.  The method utilized for the determination of the allowance is described in “Critical Accounting Policies” above and in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The provision for loan losses was $2.7 million in fiscal year 2011, a decrease of $983,000, or 27%, from the 2010 provision of $3.7 million.  The decrease in the provision was due to a $1.1 million, or 36%, decline in net charge-offs to $2.1 million in 2011 from $3.2 million in 2010.  Of the $1.1 million decline in net charge-offs, commercial real estate charge-offs were $678,000 lower – residential construction loan related charge-offs were $789,000 lower and commercial mortgage charge-offs were $868,000 higher.  Total residential construction loans charged off were $179,000 in fiscal year 2011 and reflect management’s aggressive actions to recognize the losses in this portfolio in previous years.  The increase in commercial mortgage charge-offs reflects the longer time frame required for these losses to become apparent and are consistent with the experience of the banking industry in general.  Commercial lease charge-offs were $680,000 lower in 2011 and reflects management’s decision to exit this business in October of 2008.

The provision for loan losses ($2.7 million) in excess of net charge-offs ($2.1 million) amounted to $667,000 and was the primary factor in the increase of its allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans to 2.25% at June 30, 2011 from 1.76% at June 30, 2010.  The primary reason for the increase in this percentage reflects a $667,000, or 19%, increase in the allowance for loan losses in combination with a $13.9 million, or 7%, decline in loans outstanding.  The Company’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 42.2% at June 30, 2011 as compared to 36.3% at June 30, 2010.  It should be noted that 96% of non-accrual loan balances are collateralized by real estate or guaranteed by the SBA at June 30, 2011.  In considering the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses, in some cases when the age of the real estate appraisal was more than one year old, adjustments were made to the appraisals taking into consideration the age of the appraisal and the nature of the collateral.  These adjusted appraisal values, which required management’s judgment, were used to develop estimated losses and related specific loss reserves within the allowance for loan losses.  In other cases, brokers’ price opinions or firm purchase offers were used to obtain more current indications of the value of collateral.  The valuation method used differs based on the individual circumstances involved for each loan.  Another factor in the level of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was $916,000 in partial charge-offs on loans in the portfolio as of June 30, 2011.  If specific reserves had been set up as opposed to taking partial charge-offs, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans would have been 47.0% and the allowance for loan losses to total loans would have been 2.71%.

The primary driver of the level of the allowance for loan losses is the Company’s determination of the level of risk in the loan portfolio.  Commercial mortgages are the largest component of the portfolio at 30.1% of the total – up from 23.3% at June 30, 2010.  Residential mortgages, at 29.9%, are almost the same percentage as commercial mortgages.  The Company has determined that there is a lower level of risk in the residential loan portfolio.  It consists of conventionally underwritten mortgages that generally conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines.  The Company has not participated in the sub-prime mortgage market.  The two riskiest portions of the portfolio, in management’s estimation, real estate construction and commercial leases, have declined in absolute terms and as a percentage of the total portfolio at 6.6% and 1.2%, respectively – down from 8.5% and 2.9%, respectively at June 30, 2010, and down from 12.8% and 7.6%, respectively at June 30, 2008.  Management made a strategic decision to cease origination of commercial leases in October, 2008.  In addition, management decided to de-emphasize residential construction originations.  Nonetheless, the Company underwrites all commercial real estate loans with multiple sources of repayment.  Commercial business loans have decreased in absolute terms but have been level as a percentage of the portfolio at 25.4%.  Accordingly, the overall risk profile of the portfolio has improved slightly over the past year.  Like commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans granted must cash-flow on their own and be backed by substantial collateral.  Additionally, $1.7 million of the commercial business loan portfolio, including $72,000 on nonaccrual status, are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration with an average guarantee percentage of 70.3% or $1.2 million at June 30, 2011.

In response to comments received by our regulators during the most recent examination the Company has integrated the general portion of the allowance for loan losses into each individual loan category.  Beyond the amounts allocated based on historical experience and risk rated loans requiring a specific reserve, the general portion of the allowance is intended to reflect uncertainty created by the local housing market and the recessionary economic environment.  The general portion of the allowance has been developed based on the grading of qualitative factors of each segment of the loan portfolio.  These factors are weighted to arrive at a severity factor that determines the level of the general allowance as a percentage of the allocated allowance.  If circumstances differ materially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be affected.  Because events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that increases to the allowance will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above.  The change in methodology did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses.

___________________________
(1)
Nonaccrual status denotes loans on which, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is unlikely.  Payments received on a nonaccrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan.
(2)
Other nonperforming assets represent property and equipment acquired by the Company through foreclosure or repossession.
(3)
Troubled debt restructurings accounted for on a non-accrual basis total $5.3 million, $4.3 million, $3.0 million $0 and $0 at June 30, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively and are included in total non-performing loans above and excluded here.

The following table reflects the activity in non-performing loans for the year ended June 30, 2011:

Balance June 30, 2011
  $ 9,946  

At June 30, 2011, nonaccrual construction loans totaled $1.3 million and included a $1.2 million commercial land development loan.  Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans include a $1.8 million strip shopping center loan, $857,000 warehouse building loan and $801,000 in mixed use commercial mortgage loans.  Nonaccrual commercial loans/leases include a $3.2 million loan supporting a borrower’s various business interests including commercial properties.

During the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, the Company modified the terms of three loans in the amount of $2.0 million in troubled debt restructurings.  The Company recorded $72,000 in interest income on these loans in the year ended June 30, 2011.  The Company currently expects to collect all principal and interest on these loans based on the modified loan terms.  The Company is not committed to lend any additional monies pertaining to these loans.

In addition, the Company has modified other loans that were not considered troubled debt restructurings.  In many cases, these restructurings involved adding a limited number of delinquent payments to the principal balance of the loan and either re-amortizing the loan or extending the term by a like number of payments with no change in the interest rate.  In most cases these restructurings were caused by temporary events that have since passed and the restructuring has allowed the borrower to meet the monthly payment, whereas they would have had difficulty making up the delinquent payments without the modifications.  These types of restructurings have increased moderately in the current year versus last year.  The Company has had no loans restructured into multiple new loans.

During the year ended June 30, 2011 the amount of interest that would have been recorded on non-accrual and restructured loans at June 30, 2011 had the loans performed in accordance with their original terms was approximately $843,000.  The amount of interest actually recorded during fiscal year 2011 was $251,000.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had no loans not classified as nonaccrual, 90 days past due or restructured where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and may subsequently result in disclosure as nonaccrual, 90 days past due or restructured.

Noninterest Income. The Company’s noninterest income generally consists of deposit fees, service charges, fees on the sale of annuities and investment products, and gains and losses on sales of securities and loans. Total non-interest income increased by $51,000 or 6.1% to $889,000 during the year ended June 30, 2011 from $838,000 during the year ended June 30, 2010.  Fees and service charges improved $26,000 or 4.1% to $660,000 during the current year from $634,000 in the previous year.  During fiscal year 2011, security gains increased $90,000 to $161,000 versus $71,000 in 2010.  Other non-interest income declined $43,000 to $90,000 in 2011 compared to $133,000 in 2010 due to non-recurring income items in the previous fiscal year.

Noninterest Expense.  The Company’s total noninterest expense decreased $1.7 million or 17.6%, to $7.8 million during fiscal 2011, as compared to $9.5 million in fiscal 2010. This decrease in fiscal year 2011 resulted from the $1.1 million decline in the provision for losses on and cost of real estate acquired through foreclosure to $360,000 in fiscal year 2011 compared to $1.4 million in 2010.  In addition, compensation and benefit expense were $452,000, or 10.3%, lower in 2011 due to staff reductions and severance costs in the prior year.  Professional fees decreased $74,000, or 10.2%, to $653,000 from $727,000 due primarily to lower consulting costs associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 compliance and recruitment fees in the prior year.

Income Tax Provision.  The Company had an income tax benefit of $496,000 (or 42.4% of pre-tax loss) in fiscal year 2011, compared to a benefit of $1.5 million (or 39.1% of pre-tax loss) in 2010.   A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable.  Based on the available evidence, we recorded a valuation allowance of $2.2 million at June 30, 2011. The income tax benefit of $496,000 in combination with the deferred tax valuation allowance of $2.2 million represents the total income tax provision of $1.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2011.  Subsequent to recording this valuation allowance the deferred tax asset balance was zero at June 30, 2011.  In future periods, any pre-tax losses will most likely have no related tax benefit.  Furthermore, future pre-tax income will most likely not have any related tax expense until the valuation allowance is fully reversed.  Refer to Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion.

Asset/Liability Management

The Company’s net income is largely dependent on the Bank’s net interest income.  Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets.  When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income.  Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income.  Net interest income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by other sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits, other liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

The Company has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) that currently is comprised of four non-employee directors, the President, the Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice Presidents of Lending and Operations.  This Committee meets on a monthly basis and reviews the maturities of the Company’s assets and liabilities and establishes policies and strategies designed to regulate the Company’s flow of funds and to coordinate the sources, uses and pricing of such funds. The first priority in structuring and pricing the Company’s assets and liabilities is to maintain an acceptable net interest margin while reducing the net effects of changes in interest rates.

 
18

 

Management’s principal strategy in managing the Company’s interest rate risk has been to maintain short and intermediate-term assets in the portfolio, including locally originated adjustable-rate commercial real estate and commercial business loans.  In addition, the Company has investment securities available for sale, carried at fair value, totaling $39.8 million as of June 30, 2011.  The Company is holding these investment securities as available for sale because it may sell these securities prior to maturity should it need to do so for liquidity or asset and liability management purposes.

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing the Company’s asset and liability management policies.  The Asset/Liability Management Committee reports to the Board monthly on interest rate risk and trends, as well as, liquidity and capital ratios and requirements.  The Company’s management is responsible for administering the policies of the Board of Directors with respect to the Company’s asset and liability goals and strategies.

The Bank’s interest rate sensitivity, as measured by the re-pricing of its interest sensitive assets and liabilities at June 30, 2011, is presented in the following table.   The table was derived using assumptions which management believes to be reasonable.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the above table.  Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.  The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates.  Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgages, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.  In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.  The ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

The Company utilizes two additional measures of risk.  These are quantitative measures of the percentage change in net interest income and equity capital resulting from a hypothetical change of plus or minus 200 basis points in market interest rates for maturities from one day to thirty years.   As of June 30, 2011, the Bank had the following estimated sensitivity profile for net interest income and fair value of equity:

   
+ 200 basis points
   
-200 basis points
 
Policy Limit
 
                 
% Change in Net Interest Income
    3.1 %     -10.0 %
+ or - 10.0
% Change in Fair Value of Equity
    -23.1 %     n/a  
+ or - 25.0

Liquidity and Capital Resources

An important component of the Company’s asset/liability structure is the level of liquidity available to meet the needs of customers and creditors.  The Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee has established general guidelines for the maintenance of prudent levels of liquidity.  The Committee continually monitors the amount and source of available liquidity, the time to acquire it and its cost.

The Company’s most liquid assets are cash on hand, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and Federal funds sold, which are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.  The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, financing and investing activities during any given period.  At June 30, 2011, the Company’s cash on hand and interest-bearing deposits totaled $28.5 million.

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination, and unused lines-of-credit commitments of approximately $18.9 million at June 30, 2011.  Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year at June 30, 2011 totaled $35.3 million.  Historically, a high percentage of maturing deposits have remained with the Company.

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings and proceeds from maturing investment securities and mortgage-backed securities and principal and interest payments on loans.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of mortgage-backed securities and loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and other factors.

The Company, as the holding company for the Bank, has an annual cash requirement of approximately $655,000 for the payment of preferred stock dividends and debt service on the subordinated debentures.  The only source of internal funds for the holding company is dividends from the Bank.  The amount of dividends that can be paid to the Company from the Bank is limited by the earnings of the Bank.

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly cash dividends on the $6.0 million in Series A Preferred Stock and $300,000 in Series B Preferred Stock.  The Company’s Board of Directors took this action in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance.  The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled dividends on the preferred stock; however, the Company believes this decision will better support the capital position of The Patapsco Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

At June 30, 2011, the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements.  The holding company ratios do not differ significantly from the Bank’s ratios.  The table below presents certain information relating to the Bank’s regulatory capital compliance at June 30, 2011.

Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Items

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk including commitments to extend credit under both new facilities and under existing lines of credit.  Commitments to fund loans typically expire after 60 days, commercial lines of credit are subject to annual reviews and home equity lines of credit are generally for a term of 20 years.  These instruments contain, to varying degrees, credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit and interest rate risk are summarized as follows at June 30:

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented in this Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and inflation.  The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company’s operations.  Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Patapsco Bancorp, Inc.  
Dundalk, Maryland
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2011.  Patapsco Bancorp, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PATAPSCO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Patapsco Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is the holding company of The Patapsco Bank (Bank).  Patapsco owns 100% of Prime Business Leasing, Inc. (Prime Leasing), PFSL Holding Corp. (PFSL) and Patapsco Financial Services, Inc. (Patapsco Financial).  The primary business of the Bank is to attract deposits from individual and corporate customers and to originate residential and commercial mortgage loans, commercial loans and consumer loans, primarily in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area.  The Bank is subject to competition from other financial and mortgage institutions in attracting and retaining deposits and in making loans.  The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain agencies of the federal government and undergoes periodic examination by those agencies.  The primary business of Prime Leasing is the servicing of commercial finance leases.  In October, 2008 management made a strategic decision to cease the origination of leases.  The primary business of PFSL is to hold foreclosed real estate.  The primary business of Patapsco Financial is the sale of consumer investment products.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank, Prime Leasing, PFSL, and Patapsco Financial.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of financial condition and income and expenses for the periods then ended.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of real estate acquired through foreclosure and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.  While management uses and considers available information in making the required estimates, additional provisions for losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in Baltimore and the State of Maryland.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review Patapsco's allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require Patapsco to recognize changes to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred from June 30, 2011 through the date these financial statements were issued.

Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s activities are with customers in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan Area. Note 2 discusses the types of securities the Company invests in. Note 3 and 4 discusses the types of lending that the Company engages in. The Company’s largest lending relationship is $3.2 million.

The Company's residential lending operations are focused in the State of Maryland, primarily the Baltimore Metropolitan area.  While residential lending is generally considered to involve less risk than other forms of lending, payment experience on these loans is dependent to some extent on economic and market conditions in the Company's primary lending area.

The Company has money market investments with one institution, the total of which exceeds the FDIC insurance limitations.  This constitutes a concentration of credit risk.

PATAPSCO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include short-term investments, with an original maturity of 90 days or less, which consist of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions.

Securities

Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost.  As the Company does not engage in securities trading, the balance of its debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of tax effects. All of the Company’s securities are classified as available for sale at June 30, 2011 and 2010.

 
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” clarified the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired.  For debt securities, management must assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery.  These steps are done before assessing whether the entity will recover the cost basis of the investment.

In instances when a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists but the investor does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security prior to its anticipated recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flow expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors.  The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss is recognized in earnings.  The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

For purposes of computing realized gains or losses on the sales of securities, cost is determined using the specific identification method.  Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized over the term of the security using the interest method.

Securities Required by Law

Securities required by law represent Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”) and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock (“FHLB”), which are considered restricted as to marketability.  Management evaluates the Company’s restricted stock in the FHLB and FRB for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 942, “Financial Services – Depository and Lending.”  Management’s determination of whether this investment is impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.  The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.  The Company has concluded that the restricted stock investment is not impaired as of June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing.  A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses.  Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal.  Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.  Consumer loans are generally charged off after they become more than 90 days past due.  All other loans are charged off when management concludes that they are uncollectible.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company accounts for loans in accordance with ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” when due to a deterioration in a borrower’s financial position, the Company grants concessions that would not otherwise be considered.  Interest income is recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting, provided they are performing in accordance with their restructured terms and are considered collectible.

Loan Fees

Loan origination fees are deferred and amortized to income over the contractual lives of the related loans using the interest method.  Certain incremental direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the contractual lives of the related loans using the interest method as a reduction of the loan yield.  Deferred fees and costs are combined where applicable and the net amount is amortized.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments.  The allowance represents an amount that, in the judgment of management, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on outstanding loans and leases that may become uncollectible.  The allowance represents an estimate made based upon two principles of accounting: (1) ASC Topic 450 “Contingencies”, that requires losses to be accrued when their occurrence is probable and estimable, and (2) ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” that requires losses be accrued when it is probable that the lender will not collect all principal and interest due under the original terms of the loan.  The adequacy of the allowance is determined through careful evaluation of the loan portfolio.  This determination is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates, including estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience and consideration of the current economic environment and other qualitative factors that may be subject to change.  Loans and leases deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to it.  The level of the allowance is adjusted through the provision for loan losses that is recorded as a current period expense.  The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of loses inherent in its unfunded loan commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition.

The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes a specific allowance, a formula allowance and a nonspecific allowance. The specific allowance is for risk rated credits on an individual basis. The formula allowance reflects historical losses by credit category. The nonspecific allowance captures losses whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the specific allowance or the formula allowance.  The factors used in determining the nonspecific allowance include trends in delinquencies, trends in volumes and terms of loans, the size of loans relative to the allowance, concentration of credits, the quality of the risk identification system and credit administration and local and national economic trends.  These factors are applied to each segment of the loan portfolio and consider the characteristics contained thereof.  In response to comments received by our regulators during the most recent examination the Company has integrated the general portion of the allowance for loan losses into each individual loan category.  If circumstances differ materially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be affected.  Because events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that increases to the allowance will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above.  The change in methodology did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses.

Commercial Lending - The Company originates commercial loans primarily to businesses located in its primary market area and surrounding areas.  These loans are used for various business purposes which include short-term loans, lines of credit to finance machinery and equipment purchases, inventory, and accounts receivable.  Generally, the maximum term for loans extended on machinery and equipment is based on the projected useful life of such machinery and equipment.  Most business lines of credit are written on demand and may be renewed annually.

Commercial loans are generally secured with short-tem assets.  However, in many cases additional collateral such as real estate is provided as additional security for the loan.  Loan-to-value maximum values have been established by the Company and are specific to the type of collateral.  Collateral values may be determined using invoices, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging reports, collateral appraisals, collateral brokers price opinions (“BPO’s”), etc.

In underwriting commercial loans, an analysis of the borrower’s character, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral, as well as an evaluation of conditions affecting the borrower is performed.  Analysis of the borrower’s past, present, and future cash flows is also an important aspect of the Company’s analysis.

Commercial loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.

Commercial Real Estate Lending - The Company engages in commercial real estate lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas.  The Company’s commercial real estate loan portfolio is secured primarily by commercial retail space, office buildings, and hotels.  Generally, commercial real estate loans have terms that do not exceed 20 years, have loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property, and are typically secured by personal guarantees of the borrowers.

In underwriting these loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property securing the loan.  Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.

Commercial Real Estate Construction Lending - The Company engages in commercial real estate construction lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas.  The Company’s commercial real estate construction lending consists of commercial and residential site development loans as well as commercial building construction and residential housing construction loans.

The Company’s commercial real estate construction loans are generally secured with the subject property.  Terms of construction loans depend on the specifics of the project, such as: estimated absorption rates, estimated time to complete, etc.

In underwriting commercial real estate construction loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the project using feasibility studies, market data, etc.  Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

Commercial real estate construction loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.

Commercial Leasing – Prior to October 2008, the Company offered loans to finance lease transactions secured by the lease and the underlying equipment to businesses of various sizes through its subsidiary, Prime Business Leasing.  In extending the financing in a commercial lease transaction, the Company reviewed the borrower’s financial statements, credit reports, tax returns and other documentation.

Commercial leasing present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due to the specialized nature of the collateral as well as its tendency to depreciate more rapidly than other types of collateral.

Residential Lending - One-to-four family residential loan originations are generated by the Company’s marketing efforts, its present customers, walk-in customers, and referrals.  These loans originate primarily within the Company’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.

The Company offers fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans with terms up to a maximum of 30 years for both permanent structures and those under construction.  The Company’s one-to-four-family residential originations are secured primarily by properties located in its primary market area and surrounding areas.  The majority of the Company’s residential loans originate with a loan-to-value of 80% or less.  Loans in excess of 80% are required to have private mortgage insurance.

In underwriting one-to-four family residential loans, the Company evaluates both the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments and the value of the property securing the loan.  Properties securing residential loans made by the Company are appraised by independent fee appraisers.  The Company generally requires borrowers to obtain an attorney’s title opinion or title insurance, as well as fire and property insurance (including flood insurance, if necessary) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan.  The Company has not engaged in subprime residential originations.

Consumer Lending - The Company offers a variety of secured and unsecured consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit, home equity loans, and loans secured by savings deposits primarily within the Company’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.

Home equity lines of credit are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 90% and a maximum term of 20 years.

In underwriting home equity lines of credit, a thorough analysis of the borrower’s willingness and financial ability to repay the loan as agreed is performed.  The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions, and credit background.  The analysis is based primarily on the customer’s ability to repay and secondarily on the collateral or security.

Home equity lines of credit and consumer loans secured by savings deposits generally present a lower level of risk than other types of consumer loans because they are secured by the borrower’s primary residence or deposit accounts held at the Company, respectively.

A loan is determined to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  A loan is not considered impaired during a period of insignificant delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including past-due interest.  The Company generally considers a period of insignificant delay in payment to include delinquency up to and including 90 days.  Impairment is measured through a comparison of the loan’s carrying amount to the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans are evaluated collectively for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual residential first and second mortgage loans and consumer installment loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss.  Loans classified special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If uncorrected, the potential weakness may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects.  Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristics that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable.  Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Loans not classified are rated pass.

Impaired loans are therefore generally comprised of commercial mortgage, real estate development, and certain restructured residential loans.  In addition, impaired loans are generally loans which management has placed in nonaccrual status since loans are placed in nonaccrual status on the earlier of the date that management determines that the collection of principal and/or interest is in doubt or the date that principal or interest is 90 days or more past-due.  The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis.  The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans does not differ from its overall policy for interest recognition.

In addition, federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management.  Based on management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Property and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Additions and betterments are capitalized and costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred.  The related costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts when an asset is sold or retired and the resultant gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure and Other Repossessed Assets

Real estate acquired through foreclosure and other repossessed assets are initially recorded at the estimated fair value, net of estimated selling costs, and subsequently at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair value is determined utilizing third party appraisals, broker price opinions or other similar methods.  Fair value is updated at least annually and more often if circumstances dictate.  Costs relating to holding such property are charged against income in the current period, while costs relating to improving such real estate are capitalized until a salable condition is reached.

Deferred Income Taxes

 
Deferred income taxes are recognized, with certain exceptions, for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.  Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that such amounts will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and other factors.  The effects of changes in tax laws or rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” the Company records compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides services in exchange for the award using the modified prospective method.  Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation cost for new and modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards prospectively, and to record compensation cost prospectively on the non-vested portion, at the date of adoption of ASC Topic 718, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. No change to prior periods presented is permitted under the modified prospective method.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income (loss).  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the statement of financial condition, such items, along with net income (loss) are components of comprehensive income (loss).
 
Intangible Assets
 
Acquired intangible assets with finite lives, such as purchased customer accounts, are required to be amortized over their estimated lives, which for the Company is 10 years.  The Company periodically assesses whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts intangible assets may be impaired.
 
Intangible assets were composed of the following:

Amortization expense was $51,000 and $52,000 for the years presented and is expected to be $51,000 until the year ended June 30, 2014 when the amortization expense will be $40,000.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

Segment Reporting
 
The Company acts as an independent community financial services provider, and offers traditional banking and related financial services to individual, business and government customers.  Through its branch and automated teller machine networks, the Bank offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including taking of time, savings and demand deposits; the making of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans; and the providing of other financial services.

Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial, retail, and mortgage operations of the Bank.  As such, discrete financial information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful.

Reclassification

Certain prior year’s amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.  Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s stockholders’ equity or net loss.

Guarantees

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company had $1,421,000 and $1,349,000 of standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The amount of the liability as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded when funded.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update 2011-05: Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income

The provisions of this Accounting Standards Update (ASU) amend ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” to facilitate the continued alignment of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with International Accounting Standards. The ASU prohibits the presentation of the components of comprehensive income in the statement of stockholder’s equity. Reporting entities are allowed to present either: a statement of comprehensive income, which reports both net income and other comprehensive income; or separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. Under previous GAAP, all 3 presentations were acceptable. Regardless of the presentation selected, the reporting entity is required to present all reclassifications between other comprehensive and net income on the face of the new statement or statements.

The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2011 for public entities. For nonpublic entities, the provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2012, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. As the two remaining options for presentation existed prior to the issuance of this ASU, early adoption is permitted.  Adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Standards Update 2011-04: Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs

This ASU amends ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, to bring U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements in line with International Accounting Standards. The ASU clarifies existing guidance for items such as: the application of the highest and best use concept to non-financial assets and liabilities; the application of fair value measurement to financial instruments classified in a reporting entity’s stockholder’s equity; and disclosure requirements regarding quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of level 3 assets. The ASU also creates an exception to Topic 820 for entities which carry financial instruments within a portfolio or group, under which the entity is now permitted to base the price used for fair valuation upon a price that would be received to sell the net asset position or transfer a net liability position in an orderly transaction. The ASU also allows for the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement if the financial instrument is categorized in level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Lastly, the ASU contains new disclosure requirements regarding fair value amounts categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy such as: disclosure of the valuation process used; effects of and relationships between unobservable inputs; usage of nonfinancial assets for purposes other than their highest and best use when that is the basis of the disclosed fair value; and categorization by level of items disclosed at fair value, but not measured at fair value for financial statement purposes.

For public entities, this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted.  Adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
Accounting Standards Update 2011-03: Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements
 
The ASU was issued to clarify the accounting principles applied to repurchase agreements, as set forth by FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” This ASU, entitled “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements,” amends one of three criteria used to determine whether or not a transfer of assets may be treated as a sale by the transferor. Under Topic 860, the transferor may not maintain effective control over the transferred assets in order to qualify as a sale. This ASU eliminates the criteria under which the transferor must retain collateral sufficient to repurchase or redeem the collateral on substantially agreed upon terms as a method of maintaining effective control.

PATAPSCO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
This ASU is effective for both public and nonpublic entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2011, and requires prospective application to transactions or modifications of transactions which occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted.  Adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
 
Accounting Standards Update 2011-02: Receivables (Topic 310) - A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring
 
This ASU was issued to clarify the accounting principles applied to loan modifications, as defined by ASC Subtopic 310-40, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors”. This guidance was prompted by the increased volume in loan modifications prompted by the recent economic downturn. The ASU clarifies guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether or not a concession has been granted, with an emphasis on evaluating all aspects of the modification rather than a focus on specific criteria, such as the effective interest rate test, to determine a concession. The ASU goes on to provide guidance on specific types of modifications such as changes in the interest rate of the borrowing, and insignificant delays in payments, as well as guidance on the creditor’s evaluation of whether or not a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.
 
For public entities, the amendments in the ASU are effective for the first interim or annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  The entity should also disclose information required by ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”, which had previously been deferred by ASU 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings” in Update No. 2010-20, for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  Nonpublic entities are required to adopt the amendments in this ASU for annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted.  Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Securities, issued by agencies of the federal government, with a carrying value of $5.7 million and $5.1 million on June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, were pledged to secure the Company’s federal funds accommodation.  Securities, issued by agencies of the federal government, with a carrying value of $19.3 million and $0 on June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were pledged to secure the Company’s borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve’s discount window.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had 10 securities in an unrealized loss position.  Unrealized losses detailed above relate primarily to U.S. Government agency bonds, agency collateralized mortgage obligations, and corporate bonds.  The decline in fair value is considered temporary and is primarily due to interest rate fluctuations.  The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the securities prior to their recovery.  None of the individual unrealized losses are significant.  Subsequent to June 30, 2011 Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services reduced the credit rating by one notch in the U.S. sovereign rating from “AAA” to “AA+.”  It similarly lowered the senior issue ratings on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to “AA+” from “AA.”  The downgrades of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reflect their direct reliance on the U.S. government.  Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into conservatorship in September 2008 and their ability to fund operations relies heavily on the U.S. government.  The impact of the downgrades was a general lowering of market interest rates which caused the value of the related securities in the Company’s portfolio to improve in value since June 30, 2011.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued amounted to $9,946,000 and $9,728,000 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The amount of interest that would have been recorded on non-accrual loans at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, had the loans performed in accordance with their terms was approximately $539,000 and $693,000, respectively.  The Company had no loan balances past due 90 days or more accruing interest at June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided that terms and conditions of the commitment are met.  Commitments are generally funded from loan principal repayments, excess liquidity and deposits.  Since certain of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Substantially all of the Company's outstanding commitments at June 30, 2011 and 2010 are for loans, which would be secured by various forms of collateral with values in excess of the commitment amounts.  The Company's exposure to credit loss under these contracts in the event of non-performance by the other parties, assuming that the collateral proves to be of no value, is represented by the commitment amounts.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company was servicing loans for the benefit of others in the amount of $14,533,000 and $18,656,000, respectively.  These balances represent commercial and commercial real estate participations sold. No servicing assets or liabilities have been recognized on these transactions as the Company has determined that the benefits of servicing are just adequate to compensate the servicer for its servicing responsibilities.

The Company has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies (commonly referred to as related parties), on the same terms including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others.

Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio.  The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated.  Risks Ratings One through Three are deemed “acceptable”.  Four rated credits require a quarterly review, because potential weakness in some form may exist.  The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions.  The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification.  Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, may be on non-accrual, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected.   Loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard.  Loans in the Doubtful category are on non-accrual and have a definite loss of an undetermined amount.  The portion of any loan that represents a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight.  Generally, consumer and residential loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as a delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis.  Commercial Loans, Commercial Real Estate Loans, Residential Loans, Consumer Loans and Leases that are greater than 30 days past due are individually reviewed on a monthly basis and reported to the Board of Directors.  In addition, all Residential, Commercial, Commercial Real Estate, Consumer Loans and Leases rated Four through Eight are evaluated with a detailed review, including plans for resolution, and presented to the Watch Committee quarterly.  Loans in the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful categories are evaluated for impairment and are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.  The Company engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews every twelve to eighteen months.  Generally, the external consultant randomly reviews relationships within the Commercial and Commercial Real Estate portfolios with an emphasis on loans over $500,000, concentrations, criticized assets, non-performing and Regulation O Loans.

Nonaccrual status denotes loans on which, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is unlikely.  Payments received on a nonaccrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan.  Of the $9,946 and $9,728 of non-accrual loans, $5,324 and $4,327 were considered troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

On October 31, 2005, Patapsco Statutory Trust I, a Connecticut statutory business trust and an unconsolidated wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $5 million of capital trust pass-through securities to investors. The interest rate is fixed for the first seven years at 6.465%.  Thereafter, the interest rate adjusts on a quarterly basis at the rate of the three month LIBOR plus 1.48%. Patapsco Statutory Trust I purchased $5,155,000 of junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures from the Company. The debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures are the same as the terms of the capital securities. The Company has also fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Trust under the capital securities. The capital securities are redeemable by the Company on or after October 31, 2010, at par.   The capital securities must be redeemed upon final maturity of the subordinated debentures on December 31, 2035.

Borrowings

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had an agreement under a blanket-floating lien with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta providing the Company a line of credit of $65.9 million and $50.7 million, respectively. Borrowings totaled $12.0 million and $17.1 million at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company is required to maintain as collateral for its FHLB borrowings qualified mortgage loans in an amount greater than 100% of the outstanding advances. This amount totaled $112.5 million at June 30, 2011.  At June 30, 2011 the Bank had a Federal Funds accommodation with the Pacific Coast Bankers’ Bank of $4.0 million.  At June 30, 2011, there were no balances outstanding on this line.  At June 30, 2011 and 2010, all borrowings are at fixed rates.

Deferred tax assets are deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards.  After the deferred tax asset has been measured using the applicable enacted tax rate and provisions of the enacted tax law, it is then necessary to assess the need for a valuation allowance.  A valuation allowance is needed when, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  As required by generally accepted accounting principles, available evidence is weighted heavily on cumulative losses with less weight placed on future projected profitability.  Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income of the appropriate character in the period during which deductible temporary differences reverse or within the carryback and carryforward periods available under tax law.  Based on the available evidence, the Bank recorded a valuation allowance of $2.2 million at June 30, 2011.

A reconciliation of the income tax expense (benefit) and the amount computed by multiplying loss before income tax expense (benefit) by the statutory Federal income tax rate of 34% is as follows for the years ended June 30:

The Company has qualified under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code which permit it to deduct from taxable income a provision for bad debts based on actual bad debt experience.  Therefore, the provision for bad debts deducted from taxable income for Federal income tax purposes was based on the experience method.

We have net operating loss carryforwards for state and federal income tax purposes of approximately $2.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income and which expire in the fiscal years ending June 30, 2030 and 2031.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” which provides clarification on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements.  The ASC 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, and  also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  As a result of the Company’s evaluation of the implementation of Topic 740, no significant income tax uncertainties were identified.  Therefore, the Company recognized no adjustment for unrecognized income tax benefits for the years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010.  Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The Company did not recognize any interest and penalties for the years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010.  The tax years subject to examination by the taxing authorities are the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Regulatory Matters

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures deposits of account holders up to $250,000.  The Bank pays an annual premium to provide for this insurance.  The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank  System and  is  required  to maintain an investment  in  the stock of  the  Federal   Home  Loan  Bank  of  Atlanta (FHLBA) equal  to  at   least   4.50%  of the  outstanding borrowings from the FHLBA plus the lesser of 0.20% of total assets or $25 million. The investment in the FHLBA stock is reported in the statement of financial condition as investment securities required by law. Purchases and sales of stock are made directly with the Bank at par value.

Pursuant to regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, all FDIC-insured depository institutions must maintain average daily reserves against their transaction accounts.  No reserves are required to be maintained on the first $10.7 million of transaction accounts, reserves equal to 3% must be maintained on the next $48.1 million of transaction accounts, and a reserve of 10% must be maintained against all remaining transaction accounts.  These reserve requirements are subject to adjustments by the Federal Reserve Board.  Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or in a non-interest bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of the reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of the institution's interest-earning assets.  At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank met its reserve requirements of $573,000 and $545,000, respectively.

The Company, as the holding company for the Bank, has an annual cash requirement of approximately $655,000 for the payment of preferred stock dividends and debt service on the subordinated debentures.  The only source of internal funds for the holding company is dividends from the Bank.  The amount of dividends that can be paid to the Company from the Bank is limited by the retained earnings of the Bank in the current calendar year and the prior two calendar years.  However, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.

On May 6, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend regular quarterly cash dividends on the $6.0 million in Series A Preferred Stock and $300,000 in Series B Preferred Stock.  On the same date, the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures.  The Company’s Board of Directors took these actions in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as required by recent regulatory policy guidance.  The Company currently has sufficient capital and liquidity to pay the scheduled dividends on the preferred stock and interest on the junior subordinated debentures; however, the Company believes these decisions will better support the capital position of the Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  As of June 30, 2011, a total of $409,000 in dividends on the Series A and B Preferred Stock and $409,000 in interest on the junior subordinated debentures had been deferred.

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Company's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. In addition, the Company must maintain minimum capital and other requirements of regulatory authorities when declaring or paying dividends.  The Company has complied with such capital requirements.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as defined in the regulations and as set forth in the table below, as defined) of total and Tier I capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of June 30, 2011, the most recent notification from banking regulators categorized the Company as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well or adequately capitalized the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in tables below.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

At June 30, 2011, the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements. The holding company ratios do not differ significantly from the Bank’s ratios.  The table below presents certain information relating to the Bank’s regulatory compliance at June 30, 2011.

Stockholders' Equity and Related Matters

In 1995, the Bank converted from a federally chartered mutual savings association to a capital stock savings bank.
Simultaneously, the Bank consummated the formation of a holding company, Patapsco Bancorp, Inc., of which the Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary.  In connection with the conversion, the Company publicly issued 362,553 shares of its common stock.

Federal regulations required that, upon conversion from mutual to stock form of ownership, a "liquidation account" be established by restricting a portion of net worth for the benefit of eligible savings account holders who maintain their savings accounts with the Company after conversion.  In the event of complete liquidation (and only in such event), each savings account holder who continues to maintain his savings account shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account after payment to all creditors, but before any liquidation distribution with respect to capital stock. This account will be proportionately reduced for any subsequent reduction in the eligible holders' savings accounts. At conversion the liquidation account totaled approximately $6,088,000.  In addition to the foregoing, certain bad debt reserves of approximately $2,561,000 deducted from income for federal income tax purposes and included in retained earnings of the Company, are not available for the payment of cash dividends or other distributions to stockholders without payment of taxes at the then-current tax rate by the Company, on the amount removed from the reserves for such distributions. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amount was approximately $989,000.

Preferred Stock

On December 19, 2008, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement, and the related Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”), with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), pursuant to which the Company issued (i) 6,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (”Series A preferred stock”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase an additional $300,000 in preferred stock (“Series B preferred stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million.

The Series A preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum until February 15, 2014.  Beginning February 15, 2014, the dividend rate will increase to 9% per annum.  On and after February 15, 2012, the Company may, at its option, redeem shares of Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, for cash at a per share amount equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to but excluding the redemption date.    Prior to February 15, 2012, the Company may redeem shares of Series A preferred stock only if it has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $1,500,000 from one or more qualified equity offerings, and the aggregate redemption price may not exceed the net proceeds received by the Company from such offerings.  The redemption of the Series A preferred stock requires prior regulatory approval.

On December 19, 2008, Treasury exercised all of the warrants on the Series B preferred stock at the exercise price of $0.01 per share.  The Series B preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per annum.  The Series B preferred stock may not be redeemed until all the Series A preferred stock has been redeemed.

The Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock were issued in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Neither the Series A preferred stock nor the Series B preferred stock will be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer.

Benefit Plans

2004 Stock Incentive Plan

In October 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan.  Under this plan, 90,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under a variety of awards.  An additional 40,146 shares were made available for issuance to settle past deferred compensation obligations.  This new plan replaced the Director’s retirement plan that was effective since September 1995.  At the time of adoption, the directors had the option to reallocate their deferred compensation assets.

In May 2009, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the directors deferred compensation portion of the Plan.  Accordingly, 57,255 deferred shares were distributed to the respective directors in May 2010, and are now included as issued shares.  The remaining portion of the Plan continues to remain in effect.  As of June 30, 2011 there are 2,250 non-vested shares outstanding under this plan.

Compensation expense recognized in connection with these plans during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $5,000 and $26,000, respectively.

Stock Options

The Company's 1996 Stock Options and Incentive Plan (Plan) was approved by the stockholders at the 1996 annual meeting.  The Plan provides for the granting of options to acquire common stock to directors and key employees.  Option prices are equal or greater than the estimated fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant.  In October 1996, the Company granted options to purchase 137,862 shares at $4.60 per share.  There are no remaining options to be issued under this plan.

The Company’s 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders at the 2000 annual meeting.  The Plan provides for the granting of options to acquire common stock to directors and key employees.  Option prices are equal or greater than the estimated fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant.  The Plan provides for one-fifth of the options granted to be exercisable on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant. Under this plan, in August 2001 the Company granted options to purchase 99,975 shares at $6.29 per share.  There are 8,971 options eligible to be issued under this plan.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's 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 estimates.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments is summarized as follows at June 30:

Securities Available for Sale
The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Loans Receivable
Loans receivable were segmented into portfolios with similar financial characteristics.  Loans were also segmented by type such as residential, commercial, commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction and consumer.  Each loan category was further segmented by fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.

The fair value of loans was calculated by discounting anticipated cash flows based on weighted average contractual maturity, weighted average coupon and market rates.

Impaired Loans
The Company considers loans to be impaired when it becomes probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  All non-accrual loans are considered impaired.  The measurement of impaired loans is based on the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or the fair value of the underlying collateral.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  The fair value consists of the loan balances of $5.2 million and $4.0 million less their specific valuation allowances of $1.2 million and $668,000 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively as determined under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables”.  The increase in the allowance of $527,000 and $286,000 in the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 resulted in impairment charges of $527,000 and $286,000, which were included in earnings.

Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure and Other Repossessed Assets
Real estate acquired through foreclosure and other repossessed assets are initially recorded at the estimated fair value, net of estimated selling costs, and subsequently at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair value is determined utilizing third party appraisals, broker price opinions or other similar methods.  Fair value is updated at least annually and more often if circumstances dictate.

Securities required by Law
The carrying amount of securities required by law approximates its fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposits
Under ASC Topic 825, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing deposits, interest bearing NOW accounts and statement savings accounts, is equal to the carrying amounts.  The fair value of certificates of deposit was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.  The discount rate for certificates of deposit was estimated using market rates.

Long-Term Debt
The fair value of long-term debt was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows, using market rates.

Accrued Interest Payable
The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Standby Letters of Credit
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, including mortgage loan commitments, undisbursed lines of credit on commercial business loans and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to various degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.  The fair values of such commitments are immaterial.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The disclosure of fair value amounts does not include the fair values of any intangibles, including core deposit intangibles.  Core deposit intangibles represent the value attributable to total deposits based on an expected duration of customer relationships.
The Company complies with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which defines the concept of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  ASC Topic 820 applies only to fair value measurements required or permitted under current accounting pronouncements, but does not require any new fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants as of the measurement date.  The statement also expands disclosures about financial instruments that are measured at fair value and eliminates the use of large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets.  The disclosure’s emphasis is on the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect of the measurement on earnings for the period.

ASC Topic 820 clarifies how an entity would determine fair value in an inactive market and defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or transfer the liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  ASC Topic 820 provides additional guidance in determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased.  It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.  ASC Topic 820 provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability.  When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value.  This guidance clarifies that when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly.  In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly.  The guidance provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly.  A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.

The Company has an established and documented process for determining fair values.  Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available.  If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based on fair value models that use market participant or independently sourced market data, which include discount rate, interest rate yield curves, prepayment speeds, bond ratings, credit risk, loss severities, default rates, and expected cash flow assumptions.  In addition, valuation adjustments may be made in the determination of fair value.  These fair value adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, creditworthiness, liquidity, and other unobservable inputs that are applied consistently over time.  These adjustments are estimated and therefore, subject to managements’ judgment, and at times, may be necessary to mitigate the possibility of error or revision in the estimate of the fair value provided by the model.  The Company has various controls in place to ensure that the valuations are appropriate, including review and approval of the valuation models, benchmarking, comparison to similar products, and reviews of actual cash settlements.  The methods described above may produce fair value calculations that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  While the Company believes its valuation methods are consistent with other financial institutions, the use of different methods or assumptions to determine fair values could result in different estimates of fair value.

ASC Topic 820 established a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements.  The valuation hierarchy is based on the inputs used to value the particular asset or liability at the measurement date.  The three levels are defined as follows:
 
·
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
·
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices of identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
·
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Each financial instrument’s level assignment within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement for that particular category.
There were no transfers of assets between fair value Level 1 and Level 2 for the year ended June 30, 2011.
